No one who attended the Berkeley County
Fair could have failed to have noticed the
beautiful Piano Forte exhibited by Mr.. q.
NJ. StieH, of Baltimore, in Floral Hall. DUR
ing the entire exhibition the ladies would
naturally find their way to the Southern end
of the building to enjoy the exquisite music
penled forth from this sample OF the best in
struments manufactured by this firm. The
rose wood box was very elaborate and beau
tifully carved, aud the whole finish was in
keeping with the ideal, grand. The COM
mittee, on musical instruments, unhesitatiDg-
ly pronounced it superior instrument, aud
awarded it the frst premium in It's class
Persons desiring to purchase first, class in
strument would do well to confer with Mr..
Stief, as he is able to offer very favorable
terms both as to price and payments.

A Paner.Making Snidcr.

Spiders have been noted so long as
spinners of the finest of silk, that it
strikes one little oddly to think of one
as paper-maker. But hear this true
story that has just been told to me:
In the heart of the African continent,
where no other paper is manufactured,
the spider paper-maker does her quiet
work. Back and forth, over a fiat sur
face about an inch and half square, on
the inside wall Of hut, the square is
covered with a pure white paper. Un-
der this she places from forty to fifty
eggs; and then, to fasten the square of
paper more securely to the wall, sire
makes strip of paper about a quarter
of an inch square, and with this CLUES
the square carefully around the edges.
When all is done, the spider-which is
quite large one-places herself on the
center of the outside of the little fiat
bag 30 carefully made, and begins a
watch, which is to last for three weeks
without intermission. Apparently the
Young spiders would have many dangers
10 fear, did not their anxious mamma
wage a free war upon the cockroaches
and other insects that come near. After
three weeks of unrcmitting watchful-
ness. the mother-spider leaves her nest
in the day-timts to hunt food, but she
ALWAYS returns at night, until her young
are strong enough to take care of them.
