market poultry raiser ia making profita-
BILE crosses for his purpose. But remem
Der, all cross-bred fowls are to 60 to the

be. A farmer might wish to except
some of his very finest cross ored pullets,
but it he breeds from them he will be
very likely to be DISAPPOINTED in their
progeny, even though mated with pure

valuable breeds may be, and are estab-

of skill and experience, besides an untir-

BREEDS OF POULTRY.

IL an address before the Bucks county
Pennsylvania Poultry Association, DIR.
A. M. Dickie Eoke as fol 10 VS., according
TO the 1ntelligencer, in reference to the
comparative value of the different breeds
of fowls:
The breed or breeds for keep will
depend to q considerable extent upon
circumstances. II one knows what q
man wants OF his poultry, and something
of the character of his soil, location and
climate together with his disposition to
take care of them, it is an easy matter to
give advice, The most hardy and robust
fowls, where they are obliged to take
care of themselves to q considerable
extent. are Dominiques and Plymouth
Rocks. After these come the Brahmas,
light and dark, and the Cochins. These
are all large fowls, easy to raise and are
good market poultry. AS layers thew
are not equal to the smaller breeds, but
are more quiet in their disposition.
The Games will hold their own in a
rough and tumble scramble for existepca
better than any other variety; but where
they are kept they require the whole
ground to themselves, their pugnacity
rendering them dangerous to other poul-
try. Still, they are fairly good layers
and of first quality as table fowls, though
OF small size. l have seen very hand
some market poultry the produce of a
Black B. led Game cock and Buff Co.
chin hens. For market purposes all
the Asiatic breeds may be very profitably
crossed with Dorking or Houdan blood.
Ihe first will improve both quality and
tecundity. A Leghorn cock crossed
with Asiatic hens will somewhat reduce
the size of the latter, but will very much
improve their laying qualities and accel.
crate their maturity. 1t should be re-
membered that all these crosses are only
ut Tor market purposes, and should never
De used as breeding stock.
A very profitable cross bred fowl is
nall plymouth Rock and half Aslatic !;
this fowl is full sized, very robust, hardy,
and OF early maturity. I think farmers
would find it to their account in trying
some of these crosses. Only be sure
you know what you want, and then 90
ahead. The Docking, or Uoudan- Brah-

LARGE Potato YIELD. - Mr..
James Elmer, Lyons, N. Y. we
learn from the Lyons Republican
planted two bushels Of seed Of Late
Bose from which he has harvested
IA bushels of potatoes. The Re-
publican says: 1.-The seed was plant
ed on clover sod; the hills three feet
apart one way and two feet apart the
other. In fitting the seed one eye
was left upon each piece, and two
pieces planted in each hill. Mr..
Elmer thinks his crop would have
been larger if he had planted the hills
three feet apart one way, and about
fourteen inches apart the other way,
with only one eye in each hill, and
planted deeper--as he intends doing
next season."

MINK CULTURE.

Meeting gentleman who buys furs extern
sively, few days since, we asked him If
he knew aught of the success of the efforts
at mink culture In New York State. He said
he did and that none of them that he knew
anything of had proved profitable in any
sense. The conversation was interrupted
and we failed to learn the canse and partic-
ular instances of failure. It would be inter-
esting to know II our readers can give any
evidence to the Rural New-Yorker on this
subject. Meantime, a correspondent Of The
Massachusetts, loughman. at Osslpee, N. H.,
says;
at has been found by long and persistent
effort that the mink cannot be made to breed
In confinement when caught in q wild state,
but will breed after being fully domesticated
By procuring the young before their eyes
are open and rearing by hand, or perhaps on

ready sale is made of all that can raise at

no branch of industry in this country will

from elk to nine at litter, and In one case
fourteen.

The Wedding-VaiI.
BY ELIZABETH II. wH1Tr1nn.

Dear Anna, when bought her vail,
Her white vail, on her wedding night,
Threw DER my thin, brown hair ito folds,
And, laughing, .drned me to the light.
''See Bessie, see you wear at last
The bridal-vail. foresworn for years !"
She saw my face,-her laugh was hushed,
Her happy eyes were filed with tears.
With kindly haste and trembling hand,
She drew away the gauzy mist;
Forgive, dear hearth her sweet voice said
Her loving lips my forehead kissed.
We passed from out the searching light;
The summer night was calm and fair;
I did not see her plying eyes,
felt her soft hand smooth my hair.
Her tender love unlocked my heat;
Mid falling tears at last said:
"Forsworn, indeed, to me that vail,
Because only love the dead p
She stood one moment statue-still,
And. musing, spake in undertone:
"The living love may colder grow,
The dead Is safe with God alone -

TO RESTORE PAINTING
PERSONS.

1t is altogether wrong to hold up
fainting person and especially to
keep the head erect. Painting is
caused by a want of blood in the
brain, the heart failing to act with
sufficient force to send the blood
against the laws of gravitation. If
then,you place person sitting, whose
heart has nearly ceased to beat, his
brain will fail to receive blood; II
you lay him down with the head
lower than the heart, blood will run
into the brain by the mere force OF
Of gravity; md in fainting, In
sufficient quantity, generally, to
restore consciousness.

Some idea of the value OF the Com
raDy's property can be derived from
the fact that the gross income of the
foregoing Roads amounted, last year,
to 81, 95O,610 C6, and The net income
to S1,060, $50 AZ, as shown by their
printed reports.
It is due to this Eberal-minded ex-
penditure of capital, on the part of the
gentlemen constituting this Company,
that the Southern people, as an evil
dence Of their appreciation of what has
been dOno for their material prosperi-
ty, should extend to its lines of Rail
load, and its business generally, their
full sympathy and encouragement. as
20 this enterprise the South, and tnis
portion of it particularly, is greatly in
debted. It has resulted in the expen-
diture of millions Of dollars in the
States of North and South Carolina
and Gcorgia-money not contributed
by Southerners, but by citizens Of
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
aud Europe; thus adding directly to
the wealth Of the country. The build
ing Of the Air Line alone has opened
up one OF the finest sections of the
South, that but for the action Of the
capitalists we have mentioned would
have been, for many years, shut off
from @ market.

z Serious Gh2rRa

We published the report, il Satur-
day, issue, of the loss at sea Of the
schooner c. F. Grore. Capt. George
Is. Weaver. hailing from Mill River,
n. J., but bound to this port from
Navas&a Island, with cargo of phos-
pilates for the Navassa Guano Co.
The matter assumed yesterday another
and a more important phase by the
appearance before Commissioner Cas-
aidey, of Prestly Wilson, the
steward ca board the Inflated YES
sci, who made affidavit that ''on
the 10Th day OF November, said vessel
then being on the high seas, the saiG
George y. Weaver did wilfully and
corruptly cast away the said vessel, Of
which ne was part owner, With intent
and design to prejudice the other
owners and those persons who lad
Uuderwritten policies of insurance on
said vessel" The affidavit is support
eli by the testimony OF four others. al
seam. Il on board the schooner, and if
their statements are borne out in the
evidence they give in on the examina-
ton. they viii make up bad case for
Capt. Weaver. In justice t. thi,
party, however, We withhold publ
cation OF these statements until after
they shall have been testified to on
OATH
Capt. Weaver was arrested yester-
day and committed to Jail without
bail, for an examination before Com
missioner Cassidey tomorrow. He
summoned for the defence witness
in the person OF the mate of the vessel
who refused to obey the requisition
Tor his appearance, saying that he
was about to ship from the port. 4
warrant for his arrest was therefore
issued ana he was committed for con-
tempt and TO appear as witness il
the case.
There ia much feeling among those
who have been informed on this mat
ter. Most Of the crew, if not all, are
colored men, and we have been in
formed that on Friday they were
cIanorous for their wages, which
Capt. ". could not pay. OF course.
Commissioner Cassidey had no dis
erection in the matter, as an individual,
but was compelled, as an officer, to
obey TIE laws made for his guidance,
but It does really seem hard that

A Sad Case.

4 white woman, apparently about
25 years CT age, whose name was after
wards ascertained to be Rebecca Her
ring, from Point Caswell, in this
county, appeared yesterday morning
at the Office of Justice EanAmringe,
ard made application for various war
rants to be issued. The warrants re-
lated to various subjects, one of which
was for the arrest of some parties
whom she declared to be witches,
stating that they were burning people
to death by placing red-hot irons on
their backs. She was barefooted. and
on being asked by the Justice where
her shoes were, said that she was
chased by several bears while on the
way to town, and had taken her
shoes of ard thrown them away so as
the more readily to escape from them.
Justice Van Amringe was not long in
finding out that the woman was crazy,
and so be had her conveyed to the
Poor House, where she will be kept
until her father, who has been written
to, can arrive here ard take charge of

Heavy Robbery on the Steamer
NaurchisOn.


On Wednesday last, while the
steamer ID. N!urcHiSon was on her
way up the river to Fayetteville.
package of money, containing $1,000,
was stolen from the safe in Capt. Gar
rason's Office, during his temporary
absence. The money was shipped by
Messrs. Williams & Murchison to their
house in Fayetteville, and was by
Capt. GARRISON taken on board and
locked up IN the iron safe. The key
of this safe was avery large one, and
was too heavy to be carried in the
pocket with any ease, and was there
fore generally kept in drawer in the
Captains desk. 4 number of pas
sengers were on board on the trip re-
farrcd to, among others lady, resld-

Personal and Real Estate Faxes

Personal and Real Estate Faxes.
The recent Legislation at Raleigh,
by which an extension of time was
granted Tor the payment CT taxes on
real estate, was !udlciOUs as well as
humane. Strlngeucy Ill the money
market, stoppage Of mills, enbarase
ment of railroads, and Consequent re-
ducClon of force III mercantile al!
other branches Of business, have made
1t extremely difficdlt in many instan-
ces for landlords to receive their
ordinary incomes. 1t was only juet,
therefore, .hat the time for the pi y
ment of taxes on property should ,e
enlarged. But 1t Is now of equal cen
seI Ience thai Collector Black display
like wisdom and accord to personal
taxpayers the same generous margin
for settlement of their dues. Large
bodies of the class of people here, sub
Iected to such taxes, have been all the
summer without employment, but they
are being gradually called in 10 their
old places, and it is to be hoped and
expected that we shall hear of 40 gar
nishees or other legal resort against
personal taxpayers until the time
fixed for the indulgence of property
holders has expired. A generous in
diligence of this kind would probably
clear the Collectors books of all de-
linquents.
Another consideration urges this in
diligence. Quite number of our
citizens became utterly disheartened
IN the days of panic and, expecting to
be forced away from home to find
work, postponed listing until too late
and have thus become liable to double
take = -. hey should have time to sp-
relief, and that body should extend it
in the most catholic spirit. Indeed,
it is seldom desirable to enforce double
taxes. At least, such are the views
of A PAID-UP TAX PAYER.
