SANS RarRnIn.

General R, as he was called, had
a son named sam who was considered,
by those who knew HIM best, rather
stupid: but that he had distinguished
himself once and proved that he was
good at a trade there is no denying.
Sam owned dog that Was a constant
sor-ce "a annoyance 10 the old gent. who
h..ted dogs in general, and Sans in par
ticular.
The general never tried 30 conceal his
dislike, but on the contrary, showed il in
various wavs: such as throwing hot
water ON his defenseless hack, trying on
several occasions 60 drown him, and in
many ways showing him that he was not
his friend.
The dog rcvenged this by giving mid
night serenaies under ms window, chas-
ing his hens, killing his young dncks.
and by stealing more rations than two
dogs could possibly eat.
He had offered every inducement 10
Sam 10 sell his dog, give HIM away. kill
him, or get rid Of him IN some way; but
Sap loved his dog" aud the dog loved

rertIlIzlnr Influence Of Snow.

Snow is often called the "poor mans
manure and II II is true that il has auy
manural value, the farmers prospects FOR
the next season are certainly fattering
The body ~ snow upon the ground in
all the Northern and Middle States is
very great, and millions of acres Of land
are covered by il rs with n blanket Of the
whitcst wool. II * probable that sell
dom, perhaps never. has SO wide an area
Of our country been covered as during
the month Of January, 1877. The ques-
tion whether snow is capable Of atforiing
TO lands any Of the elements of fertility
is one often asked; and in reply, the
Boston journal Of Chemistry SAYS that
it probably is. The atmosphere holds
ammonia and some other nitrogcnous
products, which nre without doubt
brought 10 the soil by sDowhakes Rs well
ns by rain drops.
Experiments both here and abroad
would seem TO prove the truth of this
conclusion.
Rains are not only valuable for the
moisture which they supply, but for
what they bring to MS from the atmos-
phere. During n thunder storm nitric
acid is produced in considerable quanti-
ties; and dissolved in the rain drops TO
high degree Of attenuation, it's effects
upon soils are highly salutary, as the
nitrogen permeates the entire soil.

year. Of his age, leaving four sons. all
born in England. His third son, George,
entered the Russian naval service.
Catharine II. appointed him lieutenant

the rank Of rear admiral. Alexander I.
made him first admiral and member Of
the Russian senate For his gallant
services at the siege Of Ismnil he re-
cciyed from the Empress Catharinc n

Indian Relics.

The Indian relics discovered by the
Rev. J. Gass in mound near Daven-
port, Iowa, continue 10 evoke discussion.
They consist of tablets Of dark colored
slate, with pictorial engravings, one of
which represents n funeral pyre or
sacrifice, around which dance is taking
place +; twenty-five stars and the sun and
moon are also shown, and there are two
lines of written language in unknown
characters. On the reverse Of the tab
let, which is rather less than a foot
square and about one and one-haH inches
thick, there are sketches Of men, several
quadrupeds Cincluding two mastodons),
some birds and trees. Another tablet
has a dial with four concentric circles,
within which are marked the four cardi-
nal points and twelve equi-distant char
acters supposed to represent the signs of
the zodiac There is no doubt that these
relics were found along with human re-
mains, among layers of shell, in a mound.
If put there for the purpose of imposture,
they have been skillfully placed. All
authorities agree that if the relics are
genuine they are by far the most impor.
tant archaeological treasures yet found in
this country.

the emperor made n speech in which he
adyertcd to the depressed state Of com
mcrcc and industry, and also 10 tho de
iicirncy in the budget. II proposed that
the deficiency amounting to %. 800, 600
marks, be met by raising the matricula-

The speech also refers to Eastern affairs,
and expresses the opinion that the peace
Of Europe will not be broken. The dan
gers which might result from the East

Germany in a less degree than any other
country.
Should the expectations now enter

Porte on the one hand aud the opening

line of conduct for itself, will continue

monarchs upon equal terms. Napoleon

Wants His Interest Also.

The Allentown Penn BUlletia says
Twenty years ago man living in this
city lost wallet containing $50, and a
lady living in Catasauqua had the for
tune to find the money, but lacked the
honesty to return it to the owner, though
she knew who he was. Years passed on,
the husband Of the covetous lady pros
pered and grew rich, the man who lost
the pocSetbook with the money got
poorer and poor, till the other day the
lady found him in this city in actual
want Her conscience pricked her sore,
and going home she got $50, and took
il to the mans family. The family was
very grateful, but the man, as soon as
he found ont who it was that had kept
his money so long, immediately insti-
tuted suit to recover interest. Wgpre-
sumo the claim for interest wiz be set
tied before the matter goes ont Of the
hands Of the alderman.
