An amusing cambat between two boys

Monday. These youths beg the privilege
of sprinkling the streets, one took the hose
from the Stevens house the other from

minutes all went well, but accidents will
happen water from one hose hit the

IN the same manner. "Barkis was will

minutes a steady stream was exchanged.
The water hit all..around each victim when
the Stevens house lad left. The well di-

CONGLOMERATE.


Mr. S. Il. Sumner sent in specimen of
Conglomerate from South Bristol, made up
of angular pieces o. quartzose rock, ce-
mented together by psilomelane, an ore OF
Manganese This ore consists of magan-
ese from 20 to so parts, oxygen to 10
parts, varium from l to II parts, with
small per cent. of potash and hydrogen. 1t
is found in several towns along the western
slope of the Green Mountains, also at Iras-
burgh, VT. This ore, mixed with muriatic
acid, makes good disinfectant. 1t is man
ganese that stains many of our rocks dark
brown.
PETRIFIED CORAL.
Mr.. L. w. Gage sent in specimen of
fossil coral. He was unable to give any
history of it, though it undoubtedly be-
longed to the lower silurian period, and
was species of FaristeIla. Specimens of
this species of coral are often thought to be
petrifed honey-comb, from its resemblance
to it, but the cells are very much smaller
than those of honey comb. 1t has been
reported by several scientific men, to the
secretary of the club, that a species of this
coral has been found in this state, but none
has ever come urder his observation.
INDIAN SKULL.
DR. L. NJ Kent has in his possession the
shuli VI MI luuIdu shiu W navy bSNh NaP-
tured during the Revolutionary war. 1t
measures twenty-five and one-half inches
in circumference around the occipital pro-
tuberance and supercihary ridges. Its
diameter through the parietal eminences,
six and one fourth inches its antero-pos-
terror diameter, seven and one-half inches.
The sagittal suture is completely ossifed.
The skull is quite thin; forehead high and
prominent; and must have been powerful
chief He was nearly one hundred wears
old when killed; the teeth were nearly all
sound and firmly set in their sockets. The
relic is valued very highly, but not offered
for sale.
MINERALS.
III. Miles presented fine specimen of
garnet. Garnets are found in many towns
of the state. They appear best when they
have been weathered out and stand in relief
on some slatestone.
DIR. Ballou sent in package of miner
ais, consisting of pyrites, galena, chlorite
slate, and stallactites. The finest one of
all was piece OF petri6ed coral, of recent
formation.
DIR. Currier presented q specimen of IL
menite in tabular crystalline form in quartz,
found in the east part of Bristol. This
mineral contains small per cent of tta-
neum, and the specimen may lead TO the
finding of rutile which consists OF titanic
acid almost wholly, and mentioned by
Dana, in his mineralogy, as occurring in
Bristol
A specimen of dolmite limestone was
presented by Mr.. ID. Durfee. 1t contained
numerous dessimated scales of plumbago.

Hints About Tree-Planting.

If manure is plentiful the whole sur.
face to be planted should receive good
dressing; If it is otherwise, stake out the
ground and manure a space six or eight
feet across, where each tree is planted
Then pillow thoroughly, leaving the
dead burrows in the line of the rows. II
would be well if the whole surface could
be thoroughly SUBSIDIZED; al any rate the
ground should be deeply plowed and be
made mellow along the line of the row.
In this way it is comparatively easy TO
prepare the holes for planting the trees,
and the manure is thoroughly mixed
through the soil, as IL should be, and
never put into the holes after they are
dug. Ii the soil is very clayey care
should be taken that the trees are not
planted too deep; they should rather be
placed so high that the land must be
raised above the general level 10 cover
the roots sufficiently.
Purchase trees OF some responsible,
trustworthy party, and then you will get
good, healthy trees, true To name. At
any rate see that the bark is bright and
clear from black stains and the young
growth thrifty. Sec that the roots are in
good order and not unnecessarily mutt
lated in digging; and see TO it also that
they are not exposed to the sun and
winds. Where they are mutilatcd in
digging they should be cut off smoothly
with sharp knife TO enable them TO
heal rapidly and throw out new roots.
The tops should be cut away to some ex.
tent ~ balance the relations with the
roots Cor. Gfrmantown Telegraph.

the evil. In many instances the cost of
making permanent drains, that would
etfectually prevent losses from the cause

to count a thing lost until it has once

much of loss as though man had
burned up the same amount of bank

look at all the little failures as direct

full TO avoid them. Most men would be
exceedingly annoyed at losing five or
ten dollar bill; but thousands lose hun
