A Mountain Sinking,

A correspondent writing from Atlanta
says: In the northeastern corner of
this State a recent heavy storm oc-
Cured, with thunder and lightning, to
an extent heretofore unknown, accom-
panied by a terrible shaking of the earth
The day after, it was discovered that the
northeast side of Chattooga Mountain,
four miles northeast of Talulah, sloping
down to the Chattooga River at an angle
of forty-fve degrees, the top of which is
about twelve hundred feet above the
river, was gradually sinking. A party
of gentlemen. in company with the Suns
correspondent, visited the mountain last
Sunday, and found that it was not slid
ing, but sinking, making break near
the top, ard at one place on the top of
sloping ridge, leaving a perpendicular
bank--the depth of which is about six
teen feet and the number of acres abou
thirty or forty-rather in the shape Of
a horseshoe, the toe being at the top of
the mountain, where the greatest depth
of sinking is. In the centre of this the
earth had evidently been thrown up, as
trees are now standing with their tops
downward and the roots up, and large
stones are seen down the mountain.
made an estimate of the measurement
of the place to be two hundred feet in
diameter. Since then the earth has con
tinued to sink, until it is now nearly
level with the river The phenomenon
is being considered by the State geolo-
gist and many scientific men. The
theory is that the river is gradually
followed out away under the mountain"

THE Uses OF THE LEMoN.--A piece
of lemon bound upon corn will relieve
it in day or SO. II should be renewed
night and morning. The free use of
lemon-juice and sugar will always re-
lieve cough. A lemon eaten before
breakfast every day for week or two
will entirely prevent that feeling of
lasstude peculiar to the approach of
spring. Perhaps its most valuable prop
erty is its absolute power OF detecting
any of the injurious ard even dangerous
ingredients entering into the compost
ton of so very many of the cosmetics
and face powders in the market. Every
lady should subject her toilet powder to
this test. Place tea-spoonful of the
suspected powder in glass, and add
the juice of lemon. If efIervescence
takes place, it is an infallible proof that
the powder is dangerous, and its use
should be avoided, as it will ultimately
injure the skin and destroy the beauty
of the complexion.

Probably no one. Doubtless we have all suf-
fered to some extent the disagreeable sensa-
tions which disordered languid liver can
infict. Sallowness of the skin, constipation,
nausea, vertigo, soreness in the vicinity of the
organ affected, a sensation as of congestion in
the head, positive headache, loss of appetite,
extreme thirst, high color of the urine, are
among the symptoms which announce per-
version or vitiation of the bile. The remedy
of remedies for the above is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, administered by medical men !:
pronounced pure and wholesome by them,
and popular as a comprehensive family medi-
cine, and as a specific preventive and remedy
for chlls and fever and bilious remittents
throughout America, and to a wide extent in
foreign countries. Disorders in the stomach
and bowels, as well as liver, are speedily
remediable with this popular and time honored
medicine.

TOPICS ron THE FAM.
The Alexanderaud Amsdeu Peacbs

The Alexander and Amsden Peaches.-
w. Q. Barry, of Rochester, N. Y. says
have before me. as write, two baskets
of beautiful Alexander and Amsden
peaches, which have just been gathered
from young trees in our experimental
orchard. As look upon this hand
some, lucious, early fruit, | wish your
readers could enjoy the sight. AS they
cannot. probably it will be interesting
to them TO lean how remarkably fine
these peaches have been with us this
season. We have several trees of each
variety in bearing, and they are weighed
down with fruit, presenting an unusually
attractive appearance. The first really
ripe peaches were gathered on August 6.
To-day, the 9Th, there is an abundance
of ripe frrit. In appearance these
varieties resemble each other so closely
that it is almost impossible to distin-
guish them. Alexander, however, aver
ages larger and will, most likely, prove
to be the favorite on that account, al
though Amsden is little better in
quality. Compared with Early Beatrice
growing in the same orchard, Alexander
is about three days earlier, and about
six days earlier than Early Louise and
neer!y ten days in advance of Hale's
Early. Beatrice is so small and of such
inferior quality that it must soon be
discarded, and so with Early Louise,
Downing and Wilder These ripened
here about the same time as the Alexan-
der, but are not 30 large. Cumberland
and Musser may ripen a little earlier
than Alexander, but they also are
smaller. Honeywell ripened with the
Alexander, but was entirely devoid of
flavor. | think, therefore, Judging from
the seasons experience, that next to the
Waterloo, the Alexander may be re-
garded as the most valuable of the very
early peaches. What disposition to make
of the Amsden it is difficult to deter
mine. Should it prove in other locali-
ties equally good in quality, it ought
still to be propagated for amateurs use
We think, after another seasons trial,
the list of early peaches can be still
more reduced.

Lime for POultry.-There are hun

Lime for POultry.-There are hun
dred ways proposed to obtain lime for
egg shells, bones, ETC., for our hens.
Some of these are of the most curious
kind. One would suppose that lime was
one of the rare substances in this world.
Burnt oyster or clam shells, burnt bones,
even egg shells themselves, are recon-
mended. Teaching a hen to eat her own
eggs is best done by throwing the shells
to her. How many folks in the country
have oyster or clam shells? Then again,
gravel-hens teeth-is not rs often sup
piled as it ought to be. A later writer
actually recommends pounded bits of
glass, or queensware as being better than
gravel. How strange to see people going
so far out of the line of common sense
Now, both of these very difficult things
to accomplish for the health OF our
feathered bi2eds are easily done by max
ing mortar OF small gravel and lime,
in the manner of stone masons, and
when the mortar becomes hard, break
ing it up small with pm AK. Keep this
little piece of " necessity always be-
fore the hens aud burn all egg shells,
and the moral and physical character of
the hens and their husbands will be in
the ascendant.

Gardeners Talk-AsL cord

Gardeners Talk.-Ask gardener
what kind of soil you should use for
such and such plants, and Re will reply,
"a loose, mellow, rich and well-drained
one." 1t matters little what plant bush
or tree you speak of, that's the condi-
ton the soil must be in. Take any soil
on your place, sandy, clayey, loamy,
gravelly, or even stony; make it as
above, and the plant must do well.
Here is the whole secret of successful
and profitable growth. If you are
building house for yourself, pillow, sub
soil, drain, manure, pillow again, harrow
the garden fine, and drain with tiles, if
necessary, but let it, before planting,
possess the four cardinal virtues, and
there can be no such word as fail. The
best farms are but fac similes of this.
