Sad Incident of a Flood.

From the Little Rock, 1rk., Gazette:
Alexander Jasper, from CritteHden county,
arrived in the city last night, bringing with
him his wife and two boys. He seemed to be
in great distress. and when questioned by a
Gazette man he told the following sad story !;
''You know. he said, ''that the whole conn
try is under water. | am one of the sufferers
of the food. | lived in the Mississippi bot
tom, not far from Madison. ! settled there
several years ago and opened small farm.
| had heard Of high water, but the place
where | settled seemed to be high, and did not
feel any fear. Wen, high water came repeat
edly, but it never reached me. Night before
last while myself and family were al supper We
were startled by q terrible roar, | went 20 the
door and looked out but could see nothing.
Ny wife suggested that the noise might be
caused by water, but | did not pay much at
tentien to the remark for did Hot see how
water could break through with such force.
While stood listening there came mighty
rush and before | knew II the whole country
was flooded with water. | called to my wife
10 help me secure the children. The house
was full Of water, seized one littie girl, and
my wife seized the other. The house moved.
I The lamp fell, and was extinguished, called
to my little boy, and received a ssrangled re-
ply rushed through the food toward the
place from which ] thought the sound came.
and called again, but no reply. The house
went to pieces, | seized my wife and siFug-
gled with her 10 a slight elevation. The roar
was deafening. We remained there until
morning When light came rushing torrent
swept over the site OF our home. NV little
boy was gone.

Early and Dear Strawberries

From the Ne,c York Sun:
The taste of strawberries in February Is not
so common in New York as it is pleasant, but
anyone NAV have all he wants at 81. % a quart,
and they viii be very good berries, too. To-
gether with 5000 quarts OF berries, winch
were received by Z. p. Loomis 4 Co., from
jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, there
were then 5000 quarts in the market. Iues-
day 500 courts more arrived. The berries
grow in open field on the St. Johns River,
Florida They are picked Just before they
are quite ripe, and are packed IN trays, each
holding twelve quarts. The trays are land IN
great refrigerators, nearly as large as N New
York ice wagon, and one of them, when hlled
with strawberries, is quite as much as truck
load. When refrigerator is shipped BY way
Of jacksonville and the sea the ice is renewed
several times before the berries, then nearly
ripe. arrive in New York. Thus far this year
they have come in perfect condition, and have
quite the favor and sweetness of the North
ern.erown berry, which appears in June.
The first berries from Florida this year arrived
here on january %, and Southern berries will
continue to come until the last of April. The
early prices were as high as S3 quart q
Wholesale AZ this time the berries are sold
to the retailers 1t from 40 10 20 cents quart,
which Is less than they brought year ago,
when for month or more they ranged at u
a ouagt at wholesale. The supply is abund-
ant, but in April when the prices fall to &c
cents wholesale, there is no profit IN it. Hot
house strawberries raised in or about New
York. sold for 81 quart in january.
Florida tomatoes are now arriving in abun'
dance, packed IN ice, and in good condition.
They sell at wholesale from $l.25 to Sl.30 a
peek, Each tomato is wrapped in tissue
paper in the most tempting fashion. The
consumers of these Injuries now are the pr.
vate families mp town and a few restaurants.

The Rirst caIf.

1t IS ofiener the case when heifer has
her first calf. says the iadiaaa F'araaes,
that the former thinks she win not give
more milk than win run her calf IN good
condition and lets the two run together to
teach her the mystery Of being MIXED
when she has her next calf In this de
cision there are two mistakes that 90 far to
spoil the COW for future usefulness. Cows
are largely the creatures Of habit. and ut
the time Of their first calf everything i new
and strange to them, and they readily sub
NIT to be MIXED, aud imagine it Is all
right, but suffer them to run with the calf
of the firsf season. and a vicious habit Is
established that they viii hardly forget IN
lifetime. If they ever submit to be MIXED
quietly, it is evidently underprotest. But
d greater objection than this arises, The
calf running with the COW draws the milk
every hour or two. so that the milk vessels
are al no time distended with milk, though
the quantity secreted in given time may
be large. But this is the natural time to
distend the milk duets and expand the
ndder to a good capacity for holding milk.
When, with her next calf, you require the
MIX to be retained twelve hours the udder
becomes hard and painful, and the milk
leaks from the teafs, or more likely, nature
accommodates the quantity of the milk Sc
ereted to the capacity to retain il, and the
cows become permanently small mixers.
Much Of the future character Of COW,
therefore, depends on ker treatment when
with her first calf

Azure FOR HOG CHoLERA.-The Lew
iston CHI Gazette contains the following
Every paper in the United States ought
occasionally to keep the fact before its
readers that burned corn is certain and
speedy cure for hog cholera. The best
way is to make pile Of corn on the cobs,
effectually scorch It and then give the af-
fected hogs free access to it. This remedy
was discovered by Il. E. Lock at the time
his distiIleFy was burned in this county, 10
gether with large quantity Of stored corn,
which was 80 much injured as to be unfit
for use and was greedily eaten by the hogs,
several Of which were dying daily After
the second day not single hog was lost
and the disease entirely disappeared. The
remedy has been tried in number of cases
and has never failed

A REMEDy FOR PoTATo BUes.-Trsy' s
Press tells of a farmer who has tried new
remedy for potato bugs with success. He
procured number Of boards and placed
them here and there among his potatoes and
on these boards were placed raw potatoes
sliced. At noon on the first day Of the ex-
pertinent he and his hired men found every
piece of potato covered with bugs Themen
killed this crop and at night another crop
was killed, though not 50 large, and in a
weeks time not bug could be seen and his
trouble with bugs after this was compare
lively small. In the spring, he says, Is the
best time to attend to bugs, as spring bug,
he understands, breeds from 300 to 500
during the potato season. He thinks i
would be good plan to dip the piece OF
potato in paris green, as il would save the
work Of killing them.
