Those Good Old Times.

How coy comfortable il seemed in the days
agone to sit before the blazing log fire and listen
to the cracking of the hemlock boughs as they
crisped up in the fervent heat and went out
in smoke and ashes, leaving the cheer of their
presence dancing in and ont among the flicker
ing shadows. The huge mug of cider and the
heaping pan Of mellow apples went TO make
the cheer and goodwill complete. Reminis-
cences like this carry me away toward the ris-
ing sun, where the fields seemed like
cramped-up patches of ground, and
he stones lay scattered thickly
over the hills and srrewn recklessly among the
sand of the valleys. On the bleak hillsides
grew monstrous clumps Of chestnut trees,
while ont in the patches OF wood that remained
standing where the forest was cut away the tTi-
angular nut of the beech went rafting and
skurrying down amid the crisp leaves of the
late autumn. The magnificent sweep of the
broad prairies has taken the place of the tiny
fields and patches of wood in my memory, but
| still turn with feelings of kindly remembrance
70 the old home upon the hillside which was
once my abiding place. ORLENA

Opposition 10 Early Railroads.

When the Central Railroad was in it's
infancy, the company experienced
great trouble with certain landowners
whose property had been taken by ap-
praisal, at or near Tribes Hill. 1t was
with great difficulty that trains could
pass, although a vigilant watch was
kept up. Men were stationed with
hand-car just east of the curve leading
into Tribes Hill from the east, and,
when they heard the evening train
coming west, they would put on the
hand-car just as near ahead of the train
as they dared, and run ahead of the
train into the station; but between the
hand-car and the train the track would
be literally strewn with stones, rails,
and all manner of distinctions, which
were thrown down from the heights
above, so that the train would have to
stop to clear the track leach train car
ried men for that purpose), and then
proceed at snails pace into the station.
Then again the tracks would be piled
with huge heaps of straw, and the en-
gineer would stop and find nothing but
straw. 1t was usually thought that the
straw business was only scare but
about the first time he attempted to run
through without stopping he found a
huge bowlder in the center. Thus mat
tiers went ~ from bad to worse; an at
tempt was made to burn one of the
company's bridges near this village.
This was so highly criminal, and it was
, made so hot for some persons, that hos
tilities ceased. Upon one occasion,
George Cox, who, with his brothers,
Tom and Maxwell, were well known up
and down the valley as locomotive en-
gineers, was watching the track near
Tribes Hill with shot gun, with in
structions to shoot the first man he saw
placing any instructions on the track.
1t was quite dark, and at short dis
lance from him he saw two men carry
something large and heavy and place it
on the track. His first impulse was to
shoot, and he hanled up, but he hated
to take human life, and thought he
would steal upon them and see who
they were. He did so, and found that
they were two travellers who had come
from the canal with their chest to take
the train, and, being tired, had set it
down to rest..-Amsterddm N. T.

A Western Surprise Party.

There was surprise party last night, out ON
the smooth prairie six.miles, gotten up by the
parents of two young men, and, ss my 10 John
and were going, we made our preparations
accordingly The wind had been blowing
hard all day, and at o'clock the sun sank in
bank of dark, threatening looking clouds that
cleaned luridly, and the wind rose higher,
and came clustering around the outbudings
now and then, bending the large gray willows
nearly to the ground; and OF course we thought
our fun was ended But We kept some one at
the door, 10 hear the first faint lull, aud, at
half past 1--WE don't wait till 10 O'Clock before
we leave home here IN the country we con-
cluded 10 run the risk of being blown away
and caught III the rain, and we started
There was jolly load of us, and we enjoyed
the ride hugely, with the exception of fright
or two, as the horses would get almost uuman-
ageable at an open ditch by the road side or a
white creature roaming the streets. Our four
minute pair took us there in fine style, and, as
the driver gavc last flourish and we came
around at the gate, We had splen-
did view of the large white house,
lighted brilliantly, and looking 80 cheerful and
home-llke to us out in the wild clustering
night Everything went off merrily, if the
musicians did play the "Monnie Musk" out OF
time, and when they called, Swing once and a
half times round, only gave you time to swing
half way round. We had jolly time, and
magnificent supper suck one as is seldom
seen at city gathering, and started for home
as the clock struck =. The wind was still
blowing hard, but no rain, and we reached
home ali right, pleased that we had not given
up going because it looked little rough.

Killing a Thousand Rats.

A day or two since a grand rat
killing carnival came off at one of
the slaughter houses on the Napa
road, between two men, two dogs and
regiment of long-tailed "varmints, y
in which the former came out vic
torious and succeeded in Staying, by
actual count. 1000 rats in the space of
two hours. The rats were under the
floor of log corral, and the men got at
them by lifting one board at time and
hitting what they could with clubs, while
the dogs killed the rest. After the bat
tie was over the rats were thrown out in
a pile on the road, which made one of
the most novel sights ever seen by the
passers. They were finally buried in a
grave prepared for their reception

Silk from the Sea.

The sea yields many precious things
coral, amber and pearls-but it is not
generally known that in some parts of
the Mediterranean species of mussel
is found of which the shells contain
one of the most beautiful textile mate
rails known. These shells are about
seven inches long and three inches
broad, and each of them contains hank
or byssus of the fiber, weighing half a
drachm, and at first it presents moth
ing particular to the eve, being soiled
with mud and the remains of marine
plants. But, when washed and combed
the fibers are seen to be extremely
lustrous, glistening in the sunshine in
shades varying from golden yellow to
olive brown. Spun and woven in the
ordinary manner, stockings, gloves,
