From the Summit of the Peaks o
otter.

Jagged and irregular masses of rock
projected over tremendous abyss. into
which we hardly dared to look. A strong
wind blew steadily across the height. We
could not help fancying that some of the
masses of stone, apparently so lightly sus-
pended, might fall and crush as. Under
the great dome of the translucent sky
we stood trembling, shut off from the lower
world, and poised on narrow pinnacle,
from which we might at any moment, by an
unwary step, be hurled down. An old
stone cabin, which had oEce served as the
lodging for such adventurous persons as
desired to see sunrise from the peak, but
which had been partially destroyed during
the war, was perched on one of the cor
ners Of the mighty crag from it a slender
board was laid to sharp corner in the
uppermost cliff, and up that we scrambled.
Then making our way on to the top
most stone, so delicately balanced that
it sometimes sways and trembles in the
Virginia. In front of us, looking over
fertile Bedford county, 1t seemed gar
den; from point to point cleaned the
spires and roofs of villages; mountains of
every imaginable shape rose on all sides
and the forests at the edges of the gaps in
the Blue Ridge seemed delicatest fringes
Of purple. We could trace the massive
and curving ranges Of the Alleghanies, and
the rudely-gullied sides of the nearest
peaks. Their reddish soil, showing up
strongly under the bright sun, produced
a magical effect. Nowhere we're the
adjacent peaks, however, so near
as to lessen the sublime illusion of
seeming suspension in mid-air, produced
by our climb to the highest rock of the
peak. The cabins along the roads below
looked like black dots the men at work
in the fields like ants. From the rocky
throne one seemed to have the whole map
Of Virginia spread out before him and
the backbone of the Alleghanies appeared
but as a toy. which one might stride over,
or displace at will.-Edwdrd King, "a

Dat meal was first considered. The
meal is ordered in Baltimore, and costs,
delivered in Alexandra, $54 per ton in
sacks. By practical experiment two to
four pounds of oat meal is equal to live
pounds of corn or fourteen of good hay.
AS a rich food, Astounding in nitrogen, 1t
makes consequently the richest manure,
and is largely fed in England and to some
elegree at the North, for this purpose solely.
It Is at the same time great laxative, and
useful in the Winter and Spring to keep
animals in good condition and the coat
smooth and glossy. In the dairy it in
creases the quantity of milk and butter.
Subscriptions were received at
$3.50 per ton. Several tons were taken.
It was the general opinion that plaster did
best on land in good heart. and containing
more or less potash.
Gas lime can be obtained, exclusive of
freight, at % cents per bushel if 10000
bushels are taken. Books were opened
and subscriptions commenced. By con-
cert of action along the railroad, this
been and is, variety of opinions about
eas lime. Those who have used most of it,
however, like it well. 1t should be spread
on old pastures, or land soon to be plowed,
and if not applied to growing, crop or
piled about fruit trees, it will do injury.

The bird-law in full detail was posted up
in conspicuous place. 1t is noticeable
that not single violation of the law has
come to the attention of the members since
its discussion week ago. SO much for
determined action.
A Correction-Mr. Perrigo at last meet
ing said he should pillow seed land in the
Fall or let it lay till late IN the Spring, not
let it lay until the next Fall.
George Warnings letter in reply to the
comparison of his words in elements Of
Agriculture and American Agriculturist,
explains the apparent difference, and shows
that in both cases, while recognizing the
advantages ofdeep blowing, he recommends
care in its excessive practice in thin soil
Both The Agriculturist and the "Elements
of Agriculture" are read too thoroughly by
the members of the club to allow much
room for misunderstanding.
As this was mainly business meeting
there was little discussion, and the secre
tary has collected the conversation ant
messed it together under each head as tn

manned in bed thirty-seven hours before
the matter was settled. Our sympathies
are, of course, with the woman, and we
may be permitted to entertain a regret that
it did not occur to her to perform
great deal of self-sacrifce upon this occa-
sion. How noble and beautiful would
have been the example set her husband.
how touchingly would she have shown
her wifely devotion, how keenly would
she have made him feel his meanness, if she
had risen, we say, and made fire-if she
had risen, we say, and made fire under
the bed, in order to route him out all of a
sudden. A woman who throws away such
chance as that, is false to her duty and to
her sex,
