A House of Gold Bricks.

There is a certain brick building in
 Cheyenne, not thousand miles from the LeGder office, which is almost worth it's weight in gold. The bricks in it's walls are at least impregnated with the precious metal to valuable extent. The discovery was made accidentally by a gentleman who has an office near by. He frequently noticed shining yellow particles in the bricks, and imagining that the colors were gold, he took out brick from the wall for the purpose of ascertaining the facts. This brick he first pulverized and then "panned out ' the colors. He could not get rid of all the dirt, and concluded to send the residuum to an assayer in Denver. In a few days the assay certificate cived and showed that there was thirty-eight cents worth of gold in the brick. The gentlemen then took out two other bricks in different parts of the building and pulverized and banned them as he did the first. The same assayer gave his certificate as follows: Sample Ne. l, gold, forty-seven cents; sample No 3 gold, twenty four cents. With remark. able secrecy the gentleman proceeded te learn whence came the bricks. After considerable inquiry it was learned thai | the bricks were made in a yard that wa: | formerly situated on Crow creek. neal Cheyenne, but which is now obliterated

Golden " edding.

The fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Mir and Mrs. Beach Camp, was the occasion of a small but pleasant gather ing at their home in Hawleyville, on Wednesday, Oct 27th, 1880. They were the last couple married by the venerable pr. Burhans, at the close of his rector ship of Trinity church. Of those present at the marriage, fifty years ago, Mrs. Gardner, wife of Rev. H. V. Gardner of Dresden, Yates Co.,, N. Y., was the only one present. The bridesmaid, now Mrs. D. B. Hawley, is still living, but was un- able to be present. Of the four children born to them, two are resting upon the hillside, in our beautiful cemetery. The recent death of Mrs. Futile, whom they so fondly had hoped would be with them on this occasion, caused many heart throh of sorrow to be mingled with the feeling of great thankfulness that the dear ones have been spared to walk to- gether so long. side by side.
 Among the gifts from friends, both ab- sent and present, was loaf Of cake, the design of which was both beautiful and artistic. It was all done in frosting, and the neatness with which it was arranged was exquisite. On one side were two roses, joined by a delicate spray of nata- ral rose leaves. Underneath was written, in delicate pink lettering,
 OCT. 27TH 1880. : | On the right of that, and above, was the star-the "Star of Hope" On the left, and little above. were four hearts sym metrically arranged; on each of two of them rested tiny cross. On the oppo- site side from the roses were two oak leaves, raised, and bordered with yellow to represent the Autumn leaf and under meath them was written- OCT. 27TH, 1880. :
 while on tablet, on one side, were the words, "Mr. and Mrs. Beach Camp. Golden Wedding"
 The following lines, sent by relative of the family, were read on the occasion Fifty years of welded life
 Fraught with love and free from strife
 Free from so. row2 free from tears?
 Free from gloomy doubts and fearsf l An no! the soul has oft been tried, | And sorrows tears are scarcely dried: But a Fathers love shines through our darkest
 night,
 Leading us on to the beautiful World of Light. | Where our loved ones who have passed on before Are waiting to welcome us to that happy shore, And psrtings neyermore
 Shall cause our hearts to ache.
 Fifty years of usefulness:
 Eff y years of mutual love and truthfulness; Fifty years spent in a home where
 Life has been hallowed by daily prayer. Let friends and children dear
 AL who assembled here
 Unite thank you. for your kindest love and care In sickness and in health
 For counsel wise more precious far than wealth; i, And may each heart unite in prayer
 That Heaven's richest blessings together you ma share
 Until life e's journey ends.

COOKING INDIAN MEAL.-SOme oil our
talk about cooking Indian meal for hours
and hours is nonsense. What do yon
suppose the "hasty" pudding of our grand
mothers wasp They came in at night
with a pail of milk, like enough-and
found pot of water boiling over the flre
and the children hawking for supper. In a
moment the kettle was swung off the hre'
and three fingers of salt dashed IN, then
pan of meal from the dug out meal barrel
was set on three-legged stool or chair
and the well worn pudding stick was set
to stirring with one barred arm, while the
other sifted in the meal. This stopped the
chiidren's noise, and their faces began to
brighten in the freight. Twas warm
work for grandmother, especially at tie
last of the stirring. when the stick stood
stiflly in the pudding, but she was strong
then and may have needed something
warmer after seeing TO the foddering at
the harm. Presently the candles were
lit and the grandfathers came home from
their saw mills. wood lots or markets, and
those children were fed and put TO bed
inside of an hour from the time when the
water boiled. Corn boils tender just about
as much as an egg does. Boiling dissi-
pates the flavor, if it is lond continued, and
leaves nothing TO kindle and enlist the
organs of taste, and so favors indigestion

tor tell us-must pop corn be cooked t
favor digestion? -H1rtf0rd Courdnt.

Grass is coming on well and the bounte.
Gus rains of the last few weeks have given
prospect of a good hay crop. Notwith

given up to pasture which was formerly

is the reclaiming by drainage and cultiva

Change OF Methods.

Going the other day by the farm OF
neighbor Whipple. we were reminded of
the great changes in the ways of farming
which are gradually taking place. This
was about the first of June, and he had
then been feeding his cows from piece of
winter rye for two or three weeks. The
ground which had been cut over was
plowed to be put in fodder corn for
later crop, thus getting two crops in the
season from the same piece Of ground.
Formerly the practice was, perhaps, not
general in Vermont, but quite frequent,
to let the ground lie fallow for year occa-
sionally; now not only crop every year,
but two crops year are gathered from a
good deal of land in Vermont and else
where by advanced farmers, who believe
this can be done. and the land not only
kept good, but its condition improved by
generous and judicious manuring. While
there are, no doubt, many and serious ex
ceptions, we believe farming in Vermont
is much better carried on than twenty-five
or even ten years ago-we believe better
crops are raised, better stock kept, more
butter and cheese made from better COWS
more and finer wool and mutton secured
from much more valuable sheep. Ii
horses alone we are afraid we must note
an exception. In the small circle of oul
acquaintance there are fewer good horse:
than at the time before named. That thcr,
are some as good-perhaps better horse
now than then we must perhaps admit i
we take the price rs standard of value
but they are rare, so rare that when founC
they command very large prices.
The horses which made Vermont f.mou
were her Morgans, which became typ
(as well as hreed) for not large, com
pact, tough, easily kept, good roadsters
good workers, intelligent, docile, styis
horse, that did not know that there was
bigger or prouder horse Or one that eoul
pull more pounds than he in the world
One veteran horse buyer from New Bed
ford once said to us, when in Vermont t
buy horses, When l buy horses for IN
customers who want large, noble lookin
animals, | get western horses; when
want horses for my own stables, | bu
smaller Vermont horses, one of whic
could kill two of those big fellows at wor
and thrive on it." Let us have anothe
change and get back to the Morgans. G
Morgan style of a horse. We can do
and make money by it too, by giving al
tention to it.

UNDERTAKING. WITH SToNE.-The best
time to construct underdrains Is In the
spring of the year, when the land IS soft.
When made OF stone, they not only last
for all time, but carry off any surface
water much sooner than tile. In cutting
ditch for drain, the most expeditions
way is to first run furrow with two
horse plough, rs straight as possible,
where the drain is to be, and on the first
rurrow backfurrow another of equal
width. Then, after shoveling to one side
the earth of which this double furrow is
composed, repeat the ploughing and SHOW
cling by attaching II short chain between
The doubetree and clevis, to increase
the distance between the two, and
thus cause the plough to run the re-
quired depth. BY this means. i. e., by
repeated blowing and shovelling out, a
depth of from fifteen to twenty inches
may be obtained, and of the proper width
the drain is to be. This much done,
hitch the two horses, one in front of the
other CAMDEN fashion) to single coulter
plow, with which rip up the sub-soil
and throw out as before-repeatng the
operation until the proper depth is had.
In finishing the bottom of the intended
drain, care SHOULD be taken to have it Of
uniform smoothness throughout its entire
length, only sufficiently inclining towards
the mouth to cause the water 10 flow
with equal freedom through every part OF
the drain; otherwise little depressions
will be left in the bottom Of the drain, in
which sediment will accumulate to such
an extent as to obstruct the free passage
of the water, and thus choke up the drain
and render it useless
The next thing then is to prepare the
stone for constructing the drain, and
Whitewater being hauled in piles all
along the side of the intended drain
should be broken into pieces not larger
than goose eggs, the smaller ones TO
take their place in the bottom of the drain
and the larger ones to be thrown in pro-
miscuously until to within foot or so OF
the surface, and, covering the same with
"A few leaves from the woods. to fill the
balance of the drain with the eXcavated
earth.
When the low places occur in q field.
on which water is inclined to stand SO us
to interfere with their cultivation, and fol-
which no outlet can be conveniently had
by means of u drain, Il very good substi-
tute will be found by digging . hole
through the clay, some three or four feet
in diameter, filing the same with stone
| 10 within few inches of the top, ant
covering with leaves and earth as above
directed. BY this means the water will
find ready outlet and perfect drainage
will be secured. -Baltipl0re Sun.

BERKsnIREs.-The Berkshires are rs
good, and by some are esteemed the best
hogs, for pork in the world. 1t is well
known that its great muscular power is
owing to its large amount of muscle or lean
meat which makes it very desirable for
butchers meat. In choice markets it will
bring more for meat than other hogs.
The following points showing the marks
of the Berkshire will be of interest to
many:
Color black, with white on feet. face,
tip of tail, and an occasional splash OF
white on arm. While n small spot OF
white on some other part of the body does
not argue impurity of blood, yet it is tc
be discouraged, to the end that uniformity
of color may be attained by the breeders
White upon ear, or a bronze or copper
spot on some part of the body, argues nc
| mpurity, but rather reappearng o
original colors. Marking of white othel
than those named above are suspicious
and pig so marked should be rejected
