life is to see young man with his
best girl on his arm and but ten

the opposite side o. the street.

Life of General Winfield Scott
Hancock.

The well know publishing house
Of Hubbard Bros. OF Cincinnati,
have in preparation and will soon
issue the "Life Of Gen. Hancock"
written by his old-time friend, Hon.
John w. Forney. The career Of
the brilliant soldier who is soon to
be transferred 70 the White House
furnishes material for a volume
which, in deep and thrilling inter
est, has rarely been eqGaled in the
annals Of American biography. L.
is fortunate that it's preparation has
been assigned TO Col. Forney, who
for twenty-five years has been
known as one Of the ablest editors
and most brilliant writer's in Amer
lea. His known ability, and his
personal intimacy with Gen. Haa-
cock, are a sufficient guaranty
that the book will be full, complete
and authoritative--a volume II per
manent value, and in this respect
widely different from ordinary cam
paign literature. 1t will be sold
only by subscription, and must
meet with s. very large sale.

Rose is a good variety. Commence
planting the latter part of December.
There will be some risk of frost. and
the vines should be covered with
grass where practicable during severe
cold. When the vines wither and
the skin on the potato will not slip
under moderate pressure OF the hand,
they are ready for digging, dig with
a potato digger and allow them to lie
in the sun until the earth crumbles
off. They will be injured if allowed
to remain in the sun too long. In
sorting reject small and Inferior po-
tatoes. Wipe with cloth, or wash
them if very dirty. When dry pack
in barrels, firmly, but carefully to
prevent bruising. From the 10Th to
the 25th OF April is the most profit
able time for marketing. Two bars
rels planted in the above manner on
December both, yielded twenty-five
barrels of merchantable potatoes, the
first shipment being made on March
both.
BEANS.
Plant during hemonth of January,
though there is some risk OF frost if
planted earl y in the month. The soil
should receive the same preparation
as Tor other vegetables. Lay off the
drills with a hand pillow two feet
apart and not over an inch deep, drop
the seed TWO inches apart in the drill.
The early Valentine and German
Wax are the best varieties. Keep
clean with the hand pillow or hoe.
They will be ready for gathering in
April. Pick when young and very
tender; gather after the dew dries
off. They should be allowed to lie a
day before packing to wither; they
will pack to better advantage and
will not be liable to heat en-route.

firmly in bushel era es The early
market is the best. Rourd pods will
bring 80 cents more per crate than

REVENGE Is SWEET.

The Nevada Transcript says: Our
friend Henry K, of Washington, in
this county, was unfortunate enough to
have pile of oak weed jumped by vel
low jackets. He undertook to dispossess
them by switching them out with a
bundle of brush, but the jumpers were
too much for him. He retired with
many sting, and the next day both
eyes were closed. The evening Of the
battle Henry Gotta donned his bee-veil
and gloves, took the hollow log contain
ing the stingers and drowned them in
the ditch. A friend calling on X. found
him totally blind, but in good spirits.
But" says he, "vot makes me SO tam
mad is Henry Gotta, the tam fool, drowned
all the yellow jackets before I coald get
revenge on them" .. ..,.... 81.
Speaking Of yellow jackets. reminds us
of hornets. In the same neighborhood,
John c. had fine large hornets nest
just inside the fence alongside Of the
road. To see how fast Chinaman could
ran, he would, when seeing one coming
up the road, cast q stone at the hornets
nast, and the insects, believing the Ccles-
tial to be the offender, would make it
very warm for him. One day, just after
one of thesel performances, Cts brother
came along with his team, and the hor-
nets, fairly warmed up with their chase
after the Chinaman, pitched into the
team. The brother managed to keep the
horses in the road, and, after race Of a
few hundred yards, distanced the assail-
ants and stopped his team. He tied up
his horses and returned to the ranch, aud
shaking his fist at his brother, said; "Ses
here, John, if you don't take care Of your
hornets' nest, will knock hell out of

A Fenchphysician calls on one of his
patients, a lady who was complaining Of
sick headache and general unwellness.
'I'll toll you what's the matter with you,
madame" he said pormptly,i its that
American stove you have over there.
Those coal-burning stoves are reservoirs
of poison-the deadliest thing In the
world" ''But that stove cost me 100
francs" protests the lady. "Never mind
that; better lose any amount Of money
than your life. I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll give you 25 francs for it and find
some way Of getting rid Of the psrnicious
object" The lady consented and the
doctor removes the stove. A few days
later the patient, who thinks Of changing
her residence, goes out to inspect a
suite of rooms, and the first thing that
meets her gaze is the stove. ''Who lives
here!" she asks Of the servant who is
showing her over the rooms. "Mme. A.,

Bad Stock,

Last Wednesday, Il gentleman of Elkton,
who is great admirer of fine stock, drove
down to Charestown and procured what he
believed to be a genuine male Berkshire pig,
about six weeks old, with the intention of
propagating that species of swine. He
placed the juvenile porker in a bag and
drove back to Eikton and stopped at the
Howard House, where he left the carriage
for a brief interval, but soon returned and
throwing the bag over his shoulder, started
to his residence i'll much giee to exhibit the
treasure it contained TO his spouse, who is
as great an admirer of live stock II. himself
but while Oh the way home he met friend
to whom he desired to show the new adtii-
ton to his sty, and untying the bag and
opening it, was surprised and Mortified to
tind-not the celebrated Berkshire-but
small, ill-shaped and ugly rat terrier dog,
which glared at him for a moment in great
amazement and then struck for home as
fast As its legs could carry it. The owner of
the Berkshire exclaimed, What has become
of my pig? But he soon made his way
back to the hotel, to join i'll the laugh at
the joke which mine host of the Howard
House had perpetrated at his expense.
