Experiments with Toads.

DR. Buckland, to test the matter in some
degree, made some remarkable experiments.
lie caused twelve circular cells or cavities
to be cut in large block of coarse oolitic
limestone, with provision for an air-tight
glass cover to each cell Twelve other cells
were cut in block of silicious sandstone.
Twenty-four live toads were put into the
cells, one in each, the covers fastened down
air-tight, and the blocks of stone buried
three feet deep in garden. They were
left undisturbed for twelve months, at which
time the cells were opened. All the toads
in the sandstone rock were dead but most
of those in the oolitic (the cells Of which
were larger) were still living some had
lessened i'll weight, some had increased !;
but as a few Of the plates of glass were
found cracked, it was deemed possible that
minute insects might have entered The
living toals were left alone for another

A QUEER STORY.

The woman Lizzie Peck, now under ar
rest for forgery, tells a singular story of
her experiences in life so far. She alleges
that she was attending a frst-class private
school in Boston, where she and her sister
were left by their parents on their depar-
ture for California. About year after
wards her mother wrote her, informing
her that wealthy colored man in San
Francisco had become enamored Of her
from seeing her picture, and that the
mother had promised him the hand Of the
girl With this came letter from the
lover himself, making an offer of marriage
Another letter shortly came to hand, in
closing his picture, and showing him to be
a man advanced in years. At the same
time she received from her mother a sum
of money sufficient for her passage, with
orders to repair to Sam Francisco and be
married. Having conceived an affection
for young man about her own age, the

ter, who somewhat resembled her, to full
full the matrimonial contract, and accord
ingly ticket was purchased, and the sis
ter departed The next news she received
was an epistle from the mother, flaming
with wrath, ordering her to depart instan-
ter for San Francisco, or be prepared to
support herself in future, as not another
dollar should she receive from home. She
came to this city, and against her will was
married TO her adorer In few months
they separated and the wife began an ae-
tion for divorce, asking for share of the
property. About this time the sister died,
and the heroine of the story was herself

ment accompanied this priripal one. DR..
Buckland placed four toads in three cells
or holes cut for the purpose in the trunk
of an apple tree. Two were companions in
the largest cell, the other two occupied u
small cell each but though small, these
cells were tolcrably roomy for middle
sized toads, being about five inches deep
by three inches indiameter. 1'hc cavities
were carefully and closely plugged with
wood. Al four toads were dead and
decayed at the end of the first year. In
another subsidiary experiment, four small
basins Of plaster of Paris were scOoped out,
a live toad placed in each, and cover luted
down air-tight on the top. The whole were
buried underground. Twelve months
afterward two of the toads were dead. the
other two living, but greatly emaciated.
To sum up: the best naturalists now agree
that, however wonderful the aSccrtaiued
phenomena really are, frogs and toads can
not live one year wholly without air, nor
probably two years wholly without food

NEXT SUMMERS PEACHES.
Good Condition of the Peach Orchards.

OOou OOuuiIIOu VI Iut 6dCu UICldTuS.
4 letter from Berlin, Nd, to the New
York Times says: The peach crop of the
peninsula is already being canvassed, and
and it is, as far as [ can hear, the universal
opinion among growers that so far the pros
pect for crop of fruit was never more pro-
pitious. The wood is healthy and strong,
and there has been no weather since the
first Of November warm enough to start
theusap or swell she buds While the sea-
son has undoubtedly been a mild one, there
have been frosts and Slight freezes so fire.
quently that vegetation has been prevented,
and this is always considered the hope of
of the peach-grower. In riding through
the peninsula one unaccustomcd to the cul-
tivation of the peach, when viewing the or
chards, would be very likely to receive
different impression, as the orchards, from
a distance, are so red that they appear to
be in bloom, but this is only the healthy
color Of the wood. Those experienced
growers who have examined the young
trees have pronounced it as their Judgment
that the germ of the fruit has in no way
been hurt, and by many the greater danger
is belived to be over after December The
railroad facilities for moving the fruit, it is
claimed, will be better next year than ever,
the Pennsylvania company having consen-
ted to allow the Delaware peach trains to
run over their road on schedule time, thus
insuring a more rapid transportation and
certainty as to the time of their arrival in
your city. The Old Dominion Company
having, it is said, completed arrangements
giving them the controlling interets on the
Georgetown and Frankford railroad, will
now push to complexion, by the 1st of
June, the road between Berlin and Selby-
vile, and on that date put on a daily line
of steamers to LeweS, to run in connection
with the railroad system of the lower pen
insula. The fare from this point to New
York is now nearly nine dollars by the
new route it will be less than four. The
freight tariff will also be greatly reduced,
and peaches may reach your market next
season on cheap schedule.

covery be-thought herself of her divorce
business, and waited on her lawyer to learn
the result. TO her astonishment she found
that the mother had represented to the at
torney that she was the one who had died,
and that the case had been stricken from
the docket. She and her husband were
on friendly terms, though she refused to
live with him, and he often supplied her
with money. Finally he died, assuring his
wife that she should be provided for. She
alleges that during his astillness her mother
prevented her having access to him, and
persuaded him that as the daughter was
incapable of transacting business judicious-
ly, and that the best way to insure her a
competency would be be to leave the pro-
perty to her (the mother) to be used for
the daughters benefit Accordingly, by
deed of gift, the dying man conveyed to
Mrs. Peasants property worth over S1O,-
600. The girl alleges that she never re-
ceives any benefit from the S120 per month
Of rents collected from this property, and
that the present prosecution is part of a
plan to get rid of her opportunities. She
ellegcs that the differences between her
mother and herself arose from causes which
will be explained on the trial in a way to
create sensation in certain quarters

that she swallows Delaying pins, hair-pins,
or clothes-pins, but small pins so necessary
for women in making their toilets And
the strongest part of it is they agree with
her, so she is waxin healthy and fat The
lady, like all women, formed the habit of
holding pins in her mouth, and so one day
accordingly swallowed six. She was terribly
frightened and expected to die, but day af-
ter day passed by without any trouble be-
ing experienced from this strange diet, so
she became quiet unconcerncd about it. In
less than month nearly dozen slipped
through her lips and also moved gracefully
dowd her throat No trouble whatever
came from these either and then it seemed
the woman acquired an irresistible liking
for pins She swallowed half dozen or
so every now and then, and as this diet
has been continued nearly year, she must
be pretty well lined with brass. When

bugs and all their 'spirits" shams. The
manner of the exposure of the imposture
was i'll this wise At Fair Haven, Vt,
resides gentleman named d. ?. West
cott who for twenty years past has been
an earnest believer in spiritualism, and had
implicit faith in the genuineness of the
Eddy manifestations Some six weeks ago
Mr.. WeStcott secured the services Of man
named Chaplin, who had been 4 pupil of
the Eddys, as medium, and finally opened
an unoccuiped house upon his farm, held
seances, and charged an admissian for visi-
tors. On Wednesday evening last, three
resolute men from Fair Haven attended
the seance for the purpose Of investigation.
At the appointed time all was readiness for
the commencing of the seance. The lights
were turned down and the room rendered
dark, or nearly So The medium in the
cabinet was tied with a rope in complicated
knots, twists and turns. Quiet reigned in
| the room, and all sat motionless awaiting
the first manifestations of the spirits. They
had not long to wait, for soon the tones of
violin came floating through the room,
and number of small bells chimed in.
Soon tall, stately spirit emerged from
the cabinet, but almost instantly disap-
pcared, having said nothing and done moth
ing supernatural or wonderful. In short
time little, dumpy spirit came and be-
gan to NOPE about in the darkness, when
one of the investigators made a spring
landed square on the bank of the supposed
spirit The spirit did not vanish into thin
air never more to be seen by mortal eyes
but instead, a subdued grunt escaped from
him and he made an effort to free himself
from the grasp Of the investigator. But
it could not be done, and the other investi-
gators instantly produced light, which
rendered the room as bright as noon-day
The sham stood there in the grasp of his
investigators, robed in white, and was found
to be Chaplin. Finding that his race was
run, Chaplin made bold front, acknow,
ledged that the whole thing was hum
bug, and said he performed exactly as the
Eddys. This exposure convinced Mr.
Westcott Of the imposture that had been
played, and in the Rutland Globe of yes
terday he publishes challenge calling Oh
the Eddys to meet him at town hall, Rut

them impostors and humbugs The follow
