thence, by interninable winnings. across the
Seven Mountains which, a. the name
signifies, consist OF seven parallel ranges. 50
closely drawn that the traveller no sooner
uescends the slope OF one than he begins the
ascent OF another. The tops are quite broad
and nat, covered with laurel, and producing
Immense quantities OF whortleberries. 10
some OF the marshes between the mountains,
these berries grow upon trees, fully ! dozen
feet III height though the prevalence of
snakes, black bears, wild boar, and even
panthers render the picking somewhat pre-
carlous.
On the present occasion As We were slowly
dragging around A curve, III crossing one Of
the narrow valleys, my friend glanced up
the %ravine, and uttered an exclamation on
seeing amid the rhododcndrons a dark OBJ
Ject that he supposed to be 4 bear. But on
sprlnglng 70 his feet III the buggy, he saw
the back OF a horse, having 4 woman sad
die, also among the bushes. The sound of
smothered voices showed that quite a party
were lounglng upon the banks OIL the rlyulet,
about stOne-throw from the road. Our
boylsh curiosity being aroused, We drove
nolselessly up the opposite slope until our
Vehicle was screened by 4 turn OF the ro,d,
and then walked back until we could over
look the picnickers. To my intense sur
PRISE, though my companion seemed 10
think little OF it, we discovered that it was a
gang of half a dozen negro men, most Of
them young-looking, gathered about a
comely young white girl, who was giving
them dinner out of a well-illcd pillow-case
All the darkeys were in their shirt sleeves,
and several OF them were lolling ut full
length on the Undiscovered rocks directly at
the feet Of the girl who could not have yet
reached twenty years of age.
subsequently stopping IL take lunch at a
spring near the brow OF the mountain, we
saw the party s~traggle out of the bushes, and
descend through the valley the White girl
riding and carrying the bundles of the
negroes, one OF whom, evidently a fayorite,
walked 10y the side OF ner horse, and talked
with her! 1t was doubtless a tram ON the
Under-Ground Railroad, piloted BY some
Woodsmans daughter.

SWEET PoTAToES-DoN'T LET YOUR

that suits you, and you would like to pre-
serve it, prepare your ground and plant tie

toes. The hot dry weather usually prevail
lag at this season deters many farmers from
raising potatoes by this method, but here is
a simple and cheap and effective mode by
which you may secure a good stand, and
that Will grow off well. Put corn cobs IN a
barrel, cover them with water, a little
manure from your stable would be a valua-
bic addition to the water. Let this be done
in sufficient time to allow the cobs to be
thoroughly soaked when you wish to use
them. Have your ground well prepared,
and instead of taking the vine-planting,
covering and watering it-wrap 1t around the
cob and bury the cob IN a horizontal position,
leaving two Joints on each end of the vine
above the ground. The vines should be cut
in pieces from l. to 16 inches in length.
The cob will supply the vine a sufficient
amount of water to start 1T OFT. Try 1T, and
you Will be gr%atitied If not surprised at the
ease with which you can secure a good crop

have said the operations of the under

agents, but it may be only just to say that
10 many cases these services We're given
gratuitously from motives of mistaken phil

against the shareholders. In many cases a
Well TODD farmer freely consented to furnish
an house of refuge, food, clothing, and a

came. Generally. one OF the children was
