give another version Of the lan-

refinement and purity Of speech
precludes tho possibility Of our BE-
lieving that he ever "svore" with
the army IN Flanders, or Mexico.

Extraordinary Pelestrianism.

Yesterday afternoon we were visited by
Mr. George W. Dietz, Of New Albany,
Indiana, who had resided in that State
slxty-nine years, and is in the seventy
ninth year of his age. He left New AL
bany, Indiana, on the list day Of May, and
walked the entire distance of 800 miles
to this city, resting five Sundays and
stopping two days-one at Cincinnati and
one at GAINESVILLE. lie reached Philadel-
phia at one O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
He is in excellent health. Although
Drowned by the sun, he is bright and
cheerful. One pair Of shoes lasted him
the whole way, and $50 miles was on
hard turnpike. He was not i1terfered
with by rain, having fine weather during
all his journey. He seems 10 be in good
circumstances, having paid his way at all
the hotels where he stopped, except in
two or three cases, where the landlords
would receive no money. Wherever he
stayed over people t1ocked to welcome
him. The best walk was thirty one miles
in one day, and his shortest ten miles.
He kept an accurate account Of each days
walk, from which it appears that he
walked 800 miles, from New Albany to
Philadelphia, in pas hours. The average
is q little over two and one third miles an
hour. He left the Green Tree yesterday
morning at seven, and reached Philadel-
phia at twelve, nineteen miles in five
hours. A more agreeable, intelligent and
worthy man we have never met. Mr..
Dietz comes highly recommended, with
letters from Gov. Hendricks and the Mayor
of New Albany.-Philadslthio Press,

A Curious Craft.

More than six years since New Bruins
wick farmer living on the Upper st. John
took it into MS head to build vessel in
which to take his famHysto Australia. He
went to st. John, and there visited a ship
yard for the first time in his life, ami ex
amined the build of schooner. Return
ing home with a few tools and book on
navigation, he worked all the time he
could get days, and studied with the aid
Of his wife his "navigaticn book" even
ings. .7 At. the end Of six years his vessel
was completed During the spring fresh
cts he tioated the craft down to st. John.
AT that time he had expended every dollar
he could raise, including the proceeds of
the sale of his farm. Mr.. Pomeroy, an
American shipper, saw the craft, and find.
ing that it was an object of curiosity, ad.
vanced the money for an outfit, and char
tered her to take to Philadelphia. The
craft is said not only to be great curiosi-
ty in point of construction, but has num-
erous inventions never before seen on a
vessel of any kind, which Mr.. Draper,
the backwoods builder has studied out
himself. Draper has chartered his'vessel
for three mon lis in order to get the means
Of taking his family ON a trip TO Australia.
The vessel is of about fifty tons burthen.
She is expected here every day, and will
remain in the harbor several days.-Port-

The Way to Propagate From Root
Cuttings.

Root cuttings are pieces of roots an
inch or two long. Many trees and shrubs,
difficult to propagate by cuttings of the
top or by seed, are easily increased by
root cuttings, among which are the caly-
canthus, clethra, different species Of pru~
nus, such as the dwarf double-howering
almond, many of the spiraas, the Japan
ounce, lilacs, acacias, bignonia, celas-
trus, ceanothas, etc., and of fruit bearing
shrubs the raspberry and blackberry. All
shrubs on whose roots dormant eyes can
be seen will grow from root cuttings; but
it must not be concluded that such as
donot show dormant eyes will not, for
some, where the eyes cannot be per
ceived, may be propagated in this way.
The cuttings may be prepared in the fall,
and if hardy they may be planted imme-
diately. To save time the roots may be
taken up in autumn and packed in box
es of earth, and the cuttings prepared
during the winter, when they may be re-
packed in the earth and planted in spring.
Plant two or three inches deep in good
soil. They grow more quickly and Ger
tainly with bottom heat, though this is
not at all necessary-N. Y. Herald.
