~ We clip the following from the
Petersburg Press:
Mrs Thos Castle lefi half ripe GU
cumber at Hendricks n Co.'S drug store.
on Thursday, the seeds of which had
spronted and two green leaves from
each sprout had already grown. Mrs.
Castle cut the cucumber open TO save
the seed for next years planting but
instead OF seed found the cucumber fun
of green leaves. Ii is certainly "A great
curiosity.

The little fellows neck. The wagon was
loaded with forty-five bushels Of oats.
Strange 10 say the child sustained no
serious injury. For about two hours
the child remained in a semi-stupid con-
dition and complained of being sick.
AT the end of that time he got up. made
no more complaints and has since been
running around a usual. The wonder
is tlrat the child was not instantly killed.
For some time past several of our cit
liens have had under consideration the
project of starting Bank in Petersburg.
We are glad To state that all the arrang-
mcnts are perfected and the necessary
amount of capital subscribed. and as
soon as The organization can lie perfect

organization will be under the State
laws. With but two exceptions the
stockholders all live here in Petersburg

highest integrity and their names will
at once inspire confidence in the enter

American brewers ssould be proud
to learn that Prot. Liebig, The great
German chemist, says that American
beer is far superior to the German arii-
Gle. aud the expectation of lager from
the United States TO Germany is incrcas-
ing ever year. The Professor thinks
that the time is coming when American
beer will drive the German from the
market. 1t is not long ago that We
quoted from an English newspaper
strong testimony 70 the superior quality
of American cheese and ham, and now
we have from the highest authority an
endorsement equally rong of Aincri-
can beer II is evident that Western
Europe is learning TO rely more and
more every year upon America both for
luxurics and ncccssaries. America is
fast becoming. what il j. certainly dos
tined TO be-. the granary Of the world.

OSCILLATION. "A scientific writer has
recently collated u groupc OF fscis illus
traiive of the eilcc. OF oscillation on
powerful bodies when not frequently
broken by vibration. In crossing large
suspension bridges il is esteemed necc.-
sary that professions should break step
in order to insure safety; and il j. told
in illustration. that when the first su,-
pension bridge wa, building in England,
fiddler offered TO demolish it with his
fiddle. Striking one note after another,
he eventually hit the vibration or fun
damental tone. and threw the structure
into extraordinary vibration. Only re-
Gently bridge went down in France
under the tread Of a regiment Of infant
ry, who neglected TO break step on en-
tering it. Three hundred persons were
drowned. The experiment of breaking
a tumblcr or other small glass vessel by
frequent rcpetitions of some particular
note of the human voice belong TO the
same class OF phenomena.

IMPROVEMENT OF. THE ROANOKE,
We were glad to see last week from the
Petersburg papers that Colonel TONNES, of
The Roanoke Valley, had induced the board
of trade Of that city to appoint commit
tee to visit Washington, in order to try
and get the secretary Of war to have a
proper survey made of the Roanoke river.
from CASTOR, North Carolina, to Clarks-
vile, Virginia.
We have seen Colonel Townes, since the
Petersburg meeting, and from his ideas we
Judge that The Roanoke can be easily
made navigable for light draught steamers.
Indeed, we consider it preposterous for
any man to say that a stream averaging
], 200 feet wide and feet deep can not be
navigated. The lands in this valley are of
vast fertility all crops can be raised
successfully there which are grown on any
part of our great continent outside of the
tropics. The three great staples Of Ameri-
can commerce, viz: cotton, wheat and to-
bacco seem there to find soil and climate
congenial to all, which cannot be said Of
any other spot in the habitable world. The
lsraelites, after leaving the bondage OF
Egypt, wandered forty years to finally
reach land with precisely similar climate,
where the vine, fig and pomegranate were
at home. We learn from Col. 7. that a
gentleman on the Roanoke raised last year
"A, 900 gallons wine on fourteen acres of
land. We need say no more to urge the
development Of such country.
