Truth About Bald Mountain.

tatiguing ride Of forty miles through

to reconcile conflicting runors or to
ascertain the truth by inquiry,I / pro-
cured guides and ascended the peak
the same afternoon. But one man
had ever seen the fssurc, and him 7
could hot find. After Il long and
painful search, however, we finally
chanced upon the object of our uest,
and found it to boa crack about one
hundred yards in length, about four
teet IN width and of unknown depth.
The crevice, which runs nearly due
east and west, is parallel with and
but q short distance from the brow Of
the precipice which marks the south.
ern boundary of the mountain. That
it is of recent origin was plainly to
be eeen, and is further proved by the
freshly torn roots of the trees grow
ing near it. Careful investigation
leads me to the conclusion that the
crevice mere y marks the soyeration
of very large section of the cliff
from the body of the mountain? and
the break will result, sooner or later,
in land slide, differing only in point
of extent from others. like it and Of

There has been no appearance of

On Saturday night last, about eight
O'Clock, MIR. G. V. Bell, who resides

experience in commencing the keep

out with neighbor to buy his first flock,

wool sheep. Taking them home, he
placed them in comfortable quarters,
and at once began to feed grain freely.
They had lambs in the middle Of win

April, at $3.50 per head. The sheep
yielded an average of five pounds of
wool each, which he sold at forty-five
cents per pound. The neighbor did not

| his lambs in the winter, kept the rest
through the summer and sold them for
$3.50 each, and holding his wool for a
rise i'll the market, sold it two or three
years afterwards for thirty cents per
pound. Mr. Powell continued his prac-

lambs, with increasing success, until

averaging fifty pounds each.on the 18th

| AIDING POLLEN IN FERTILIZATION To
those who devote attention to hybri
dization we suggest the possibility, that
if mucus from the stigma OF the in
tended pollen parent is applied in the
stgmas of the plant desired to be fer
tilted, many difficult crosses might be
effected. This, of course, depends on
the supposition that if the pollen tubes
are emitted they may penetrate the
style, and that the foreign mucus is not
always congenial for the commence
ment of growth. Some hybridists may
have experimental on this point, and,
$50, it would be interesting to know
with what result This idea has fire.
quently presented itself to our mind,
and we are induced to express it from
having recently read an observation by
Mr.. James O'Brien in the Garden Of
August 10Th, that to get pollen tubes for
the miscroscope it is only necessary to
place 9 Sufficient quantity of mucus on
the slide and apply the pollen. He says
that one or two drops Of nectar are
taken from Lilium speciosum or l..
auratum, and not more than dozen
grains of pollen applied, and in half an
hour the tubes will begin to appear and
grow for from one to two hours, when
they will resemble long snakes. The
nectar will soon harden, ard being per
fectly transparent, 4 permanent object
is secured by laying on \ thin glass and
pressing out mir bubbles before harden
ing takes place. Gardeners Chronicle

Young gentleman, and thought hc would
make no bad husband. But how to
catch him was the question. a woman's
wit came to her aid. One fine morning,
putting on her best looks and prettiest
frock, She called upon Il young lawyer
to ask his advice OH the matter. The
latter, who was not accustomed to re-
ceiye such clients i'll his chamber, was
thrown in Il state Of grand confusion,
and overturned no end Of piles of law
books and papers before he could find
her chair With many bushes she
told her tale. The young lawyer en-
tered heartily into her case and gave
his advice II was to engage the young
bachelor for whom She sighed III con-

As soon as the summers heat in the city suggests
the summers charms in the country, the annual

can assuage. The doctors smile complacently

are Of russell hue, when the bloom Of the chestnut
yields it, full frui,ign in the opening burr, then
the return to the pleasures, the work of city lie
begins, and before the first - November blast ="
(Which term in this climate is used out Of regard
for the Almanac makers) we are comfortably re-
instated in our town homes, with restored health
or at least renewed strength. With these bless
ings and much more in all the gathered summer
memories, not only of dashing waves, mountain
views, harvest homes, ETC., but Of the many
agreeable people one is brought in contact with
through the yearly rambles, the conclusion of
the whole matter is that if this " malarial wolf "
is often a fancy the change now almost becoming
universal is good for all, aud conduces to social,
mental and physical health.
1t is now one of cur wisest and most graceful
charities to provide daily excursions that will
take the old and the young far out of the city
limits on land or water, for a day of sunlight and
fresh air. And the need this summer has been
inconceivable, and the fear of epidemic sickening
to remember, even in the cities that have been so
blessed as to escape the fearful scourge of yellow
fever. OF this dreadful visitation l will not write
as you are doubtless only too well acquainted
with its daily ravages.
