TREE PLANT rye

t About a year ago Mr.. Hodges plan
ted 10000 willow cuttings along the
main line of the St. Paul and Pacific
road, mostly between Swede Grove and
Campbell stations. These cuttings have
grown to a height of fifteen feet, and
the specimens shown us yesterday were
about five inches in circumference,
showing most wonderful growth for
one year. From these same willows
Mr.. Hodges will get fully 100000 more
cuttings, which under instructions from
Mr.. Becker, Mr.. Hodges is selling to
farmers west of the big woods at from
one to two dollars per thousand, the
bare cos5t of cutting them ready for
planting. This enterprise is no longer
an experiment, and the fact has been de-
monstrated be ond all question that the
owner of prairie farm can in a
very few years raise trees, not only for
protection against the storms of winter,
but also to supply him with sufficient
fuel, besides fencing, etc. The impor-
lance Of this matter, to the entire state,
cannot he over estimated, and not the
least gratifying feature connected with
the success Of the St. Paul & Pacific
Company in this direction is the fact
that public attention is being directed
to the matter, and all over the State,
where our treeless prairies exist, its ex-
ample is being followed, and in few
years we shall see hundreds of miles of
level prairie, dotted with groves of fine
timber. TO bring about this result re-
Quires but little labor, and scarcely any
eXDenSe.-St, Paul Pioneer.

Aletter from Genesee to the Syra-
cuse On. W Standard, under date
of Sept. "a, relates the following:
yesterday, on the train on the Eaie
Railway, which runs faom Rochester
to Dansville, and reaches here at 10
a. M, a most singular circumstance
occurred. When the. train was
about three miles from this village,
the passengers in one of the coaches
were alarmed by the singular actions
of lady who gave hername IS Mary
p. Rhodes, OF Olean, n. Y. She was
leaning over seat, uttering the most
piercing cries. A gentleman rushed
to her and asked the trouble. She
made no answer but continued to
scream the louder. When the train
reached this village she was helped
into the waiting-room, and gentle
man present procured glass of
brandy, which being given to the
lady, she appeared to recover some.
4 lady standing near at this juno.
ture gave e scream, and pointing to
the head of Miss Rhoades, tainted.
On examiniton large striped
snake was observed coiled around
the chignon of.the lady. How it
came there was mistery, and only
explained by the theory that it had
got into the car and tookretuge under
the cushions of the car-scat. Miss
Rhoades stated she felt something
crawling up her head, but could
only give vent to her feelings in
screams, and until it was taken oil,
did not herself know what the matter
was. The snake was killed, and the
affair produced no little excitement
for the time.

1t is little singular to reflect up
on that there should not be In exis-
tence a fully appropriate marriage
service for the use of either the
church or the world. The Episcopal
service, one most hallowed by
churchly associations and most full
of excellencies, has yet egregious
faults. Bad taste, bad grammar, and
perjury may have their places, but a
marriage service would not seem to
be the place for them. 81 take thee to
be my welded wife Tor husband)-to
have and to hold" is an awkwardness
for which only long inculcated rever-
ence could feel so much rhetorical
respect as not to mar a matrimonial
ectacy. "Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?" is, to
say the least of it, an anachronism.
"Ipronounce youm and wife"havors
somewhat of the tenement-house
patois, as ifa couple were henceforth to
say, "My man is abroad to-day" or,
"My woman is getting dinner
"With all my worldly goods l thee
endow" is fiction SO stupendous as
to be more amusing than impressive.
"Do you promise to obey him and
serve him?" The woman shall say,
Il will" Herein we have the spec.
tacle of a priest at the alter offering
the most solemn and binding of vows
to Il woman who has not the least
intention of keeping it; who will
not keep it, whether she has OF not.
The church service was written i'll a
bygone age, for a bygone type OF
society. Its real beauties cannot
save it intact to the future. The
marriage to be will demand pledge
for which this is neither speech mol
language.-Elizadeth Stuart Phelps

Two farmers, living on adjoining
farms in Girard Township, Erie
County, have for years been unfriend-
ly on account of 4 disagreement
about the line fences which separat-
ed their lands, both claiming the ten
feet which was formerly the lane
running between the two places.
Their chill 1ren have grown up in.
heriting their parents aninosity, and
their eldest sons have several times
been subpenaed as witnesses in law
suits which have grown out OF this
difficulty. The case has been a sort
of suit in chancery, having run on
from year to year, both men spend
ing their money in lawyers fees with.
out any legal conclusion.
About . year ago the two farmers
awoke Oh Monday morning to find
that each had lost child-one his
Youngest son, and the other his only
daughter. Like the house of Mon
tague and Capulet, in "Romeo and
Juliet" the scions of the two rival
houses had secretly cherished fond
ness for one another, and, knowing
the feud between the families, with
out divulging their passion or inten-
ton, they met clandestinely and car
ried into effect the elopement.
A week passed, at the end OF which
the father of the runaway daughter
was called Oh to go to Erie and at
tend again to the everlasting lawsuit.
He went in early to the Office Of the
lawyer, and, taking up one of the
weekly papers, read the marriage
notice of Emma. 1t was terrible
blow, and he went out into the yard
to try and walki Off his excitement.
All that passed through the old gen
tleman's mind is not known, but
there seemed to be desperate strug-
gle Within, which resulted in his re-
turning to the lawyers Office and
postponing the business. Then he
drove directly to his farm and had
long private interview with his wife;
then he did what be had not done for
twenty years--went over and called
on his enemy. He was found sick,
having been confined to his room
since the abandonment Of his favorite

A correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch writes; "The usual scene
at Gordonsville was varied by the
following episode; Aunt Martha
Webster a middle aged female, was
seated on one of the platforms
with stock in trade, to wit; One
watermillion,' one 'mushmilliOn,
and a small tobacco caddy full of
eggs Jest done laid,' She was wait
ing patiently, even conplacently, for
customer when youthful freed
man, with utter disregard for the law
in the case, jerkcd up the watermelon
and started off with it. But Aunt
Martha had her weather eye skinned
on him and went for him by tele-
graph. Now that caddy was of a
size to just fit Aunt Martha's foot,
and she would doubtless have caught
the thief but her foot came kerslap
down upon the eggs, and her attention.
was thus diverted at very inoppor-
tune moment. Oar now,' exclaimed
the oldlady, dar go my watermillion,
dar so my nice fresh eggs, now what
I gwine to do?' Looking for some
time at the 'mushmillion,' she finally
said resignedly Well, eft 1 must, 1
must" and without more ado pro-
ceeded to cut open and masticate
the remains Of the once prosperous
and promising establishment.

"Pouchcs. happily, seem to be
going out;' but, apparently, only to
leave more room for the hanging on
of other things. Formerly lady
carried in her left hand her handker.
chief, card case or purse; in her
right parasol or fan. AS it was
then customary to do no more than
make an inclination of the head on
meeting ones acquaintances, no in
convenience was experienced on 60
ing out with the hands thus filled
and occupied. But the English hab-
it of shaking hands has been adop-
ted here of late, and now a lady
hangs upon her person every thing
that she wishes to take about with
her. Not to speak of the chatelaine,
which has been coming back Of late
into favor, and which comprises
about score of articles, it is now
the fashion to hang to the waist-belt

when worn, the fan, the card-case,

parasol, the little thick tunip watch

dangle about the hips Of fashion
able belle, making, when she moves,
, slight clatter which is considered
agreeable and amusing. When trav-
cling, the personal baggage of a
daughter of fashion is increased by a
leather bag carried on the left arm,
and an opera glass slung over her
left shoulder, a leather strap holding
a waterproof cloak or shawl, with
an anchor in her collar, sword or
an arrow holding the feather Of her
hat, and perhaps pair of little bells
in her ears. As the travelling dress
is often loaded with broad guipurei
that seem to meander in every direc'
ton over the wearer's person, the
various atlelenda just enumerated are
apt to get cntangled therein, de
manding both time and patience to
get them right, again.

Gen. Less Album.
From the Debuque Times.

From the Debuque Times
A short time since we made men,
ton of the discovery that an ex-sol-
dier in one of the western counties
had photograph album belonging
to the family of Jefferson Davis,
which was stolen from by soldier
while the great rebel was in the
ssLincoln bastile." This album was
recovered, through peculiar chain
Of circumstances and sent back to
Mr.. Davis. And now we learn that
the same man who took Davis album
was also possessed Of some OF the
effects of Gen. Lee, though how he
came by them We do not know. for
he had not the same opportunity to
steal from Lee as he had from Davis.
He is said to have an album and
some other effects. And now comes
word from some of the Lee family in
Virginia, to officers here, through
Gen. Jones, who rendered such ser
vice to his old friend Jefferson Davis
to secure if possible, the long-lost
family relies. This we understand,
has already been done. Strange in
cidents grow out of the war. and
will continue to present themselves
until the end Of the present genera
ton.

would set him down as doing the

son. The two farmers met, and both
for a few minutes stood face to face
in profound silence.
At length the father OF Emma
spoke: II have come to settle the
dispute; let the children have the lot
on either side of the lane, andIl will
build them house"
"And l will furnish it."
So the recreant children were sent
for and forgiven, and came home to
receive their parents blessing. And
now there are no more lawyers for
the two farmers, but each has fulfill
ed his contract in regard to his house
and furniture.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
A man who can beat single drum
with any degree of music-exacting
power is a pretty smart sort of a fel-
low, but one that can shake sixteen
Of them up at one time ought to be
regarded in the light of modern
wonder. There is such man at the
Lookout House, on Jackson Hill, at
the present writing, and he attracts
considerable attention. One would
naturally expect to find in man
who can beat sixteen drums at "a time,
a person of magnificent presence,
noble being who surveyed his sur
roundings as if he were sole owner
and ruler Of the universe, and in
Herr Retaplan you find modest,
amiable gentleman, who looks as if
he owned the whole of Jackson Hill,
all the people thereon, and had
two-thirds interest in the outlaying
territory. His manner of taking a
glass Of beer is impressive. When
invited to indulge hc bows conde-
scendingly, his long and well-oiled
hair sweeping the bottom of his vest;
then seizes gracefully upon the foam
ing tankard, and drains it at a
draught. After several rcpetitions
Of this performance, the inspired
drummer struts majestically about
among his vassals, the audience, for
half an hour, and then allows him
self to be coaxed to the platform,
where he has his drums arranged,
and gives everybody a lively "turn-
ing over" for not tightening them up
properly. OF course, he has to go
all over them himself to see that they
are in exact trim, and when that pro-
cess is finished grandly signals the
band that he is ready. The band
strikes up a lively air, and from that
time forward the drummer is busy
man, hitting this drum and that and
the other in rapid succession, in tune
with the music, and going through
the most grotesque gymnastics all
the while. 1t seems necessary, in or
der to beat sixteen drums mt one
time, that person should squirm
about and hop around like picked
chicken in popcorn roaster, and
the Lookout drummer fully rccog-
nixcs the urgency Of the case. He
writhcs and twists, and throws his
long hair about until it resembles
hay-stack struck by lightning; and
whichever he gets in a really tight
place, tosses his drum-sticks up and
catches them again, plays with his
hands behind him, and, as a climax,
beats the long roll, and brings in
the bass drum and cymbals with a
lever worked by his foot. About
this time a deaf person, not cogni-
zant Of his high and ennobling en-
ployncnt, would think him an ex-I
tremely bad case Of St. Vitus' dance,
while an old negro. minstrel patron
