Covering Strawberries for Winter.

First of all we would say, do not cover
with straw, unless you are sure it is per.
fectly clean and free from weeds, and do
not put on manure, unless you want to
ruin your bed. We put both on ours the
first year, and it has given us plenty to do
every season since to keep the weeds
down. Use leaves, they not only protect
the plants better, but are their natural
fertilizers. Do not take them off in the
spring. the plants will push up through
and your berries will always be clean.
With some it may be next to impossible
to get leaves, ii so slough hay or corn.
fodder is next best; but if by going few
miles you can get them. just hitch up the
team and take the day for it. Do not
cover your plants too early. When the
first hard freezes come cover lightly, then
when winter sets in in earnest put ON
more. but not SO but what you can see the
green leaves sticking up through here
and there.

Gen. Tilden's Horse.

Mr.. Frank Wiggin. formerly . member of
the Sixteenth Maine Regiment, writes from
Merrimac to the Boston Journal as follows;
| noticed in the Supplement- to Saturday
evenings Journal q notice of the death of
| the war horse belonging to Gen. Charles w.
| Tilden, formerly Colonel of the Sixteenth
Maine Regiment, and l thought some ad-
ditional particulars in the history of this
horse might not be uninteresting to your
| readers, as | perfectly recollect the noble
! animal and how he came into Col. Tilden's
possession. as l served three years in the
Sixteenth Maine Regiment. Col Tilden,
with nearly two-thirds of his regiment, was
captured at Gettysburg, and was confined
in Libby Prison, He was one of the thirty
nine that escaped from that prison by tun-
neling under the street and coming up in
an old shed opposite. He received u thirty
days iurlough, and while he was at home
the non.commissioned officers and privates
of the regiment raised among themselves
S4o0 no one giving more than 81, and
bought horse for $3.50, and saddle and
bride for $50 more, On the morning after
Col. Tilden's return to his command the
regiment formed in hollow square. with
the horse in the centre, and marched down
to headquarters, where the Colonel was
called out and the presentation made. The
Colonel could hardly utter word, but he
did what was far more eloquent; he passed
along the line and shook each soldiers hand.

DEATH OF THE OLD WAR HORSE.
Respectfully Dedicated to the Soldiers in
the Late War who Loved and Cherished
their Old Companion-in-Arms.
ny REV. NATHANIEL BuTLER.

Farewell, my horse thy work is done.
Thy splendid form lies low,
Thy limbs of steel have lost their strength,
Thy fa-hing eye its glow.
No more thy quvering nostrils snuff
"The battle from afar,''
No more beneath thy fving feet
The plains with thunder jar.
For thou vert born hero soul,
In days when heroes fought,
When men, borne by thy glorious strength,
Immortal laurels sought.
Seated upon thy nerve strung form,
Another life was mine,
And well knew the same high thrill
Kan through my soul and thine.
throne thou vert to sit upon.
And true as steel within,
Whene'er feel thy brave heart beat
My own has braver been.
And when the bugle's call to charge,
Over the column ran,
Thy arching crest "with thunder clothed"
Loved best to lead the van.
Upon the march with tireless feet,
Through mountain, gorge. and plain.
When others strayed thy place was kept
Through all the long campaign.
But now thy last. long halt is made,
Thy last campaign Is DER;
The bugle call, the battle shout
shall thrill thee never more.
Where art thou gone-old friend and trueY
What place hast thou to fill?
For it may be thy spirit form
- Somewhere is marching still.
Are there immortal wales and hills,
And pastures living green,
And sunny glades and waters sweet
For such as thou didst seem?
Here there are those whom we call men,
Whose souls, full well know,
Another life may not deserve
One-half so well as thou
And natures such as thine has been
That other life may claim,
And God may have place for them
Within His wide domain.
His armies tread their glorious march
Over the eternal plain.
Their leader rides a snow.white steed-
who follow in his train?s
We may not ever meet again;
But, wheresoer 70,
cherished place within my heart
Thou'lt have, old friend, know.
Firm friends whilst thou vert here;
/ only know I should not blush
To meet thee anywhere.

not very liable to happen, as the intestines
usually glide back into the abdomen when
the animal is placed on its back. The
clamp should be securely fastened, and
may be left on until it drops off. which
will give the sides of the apertures plenty
of time to grow together.

day and Saturday, December Goth and Both,
and the meeting has been appointed at
Montpelier, commencing Thursday evening
of the 2Sth inst. and continuing till Satur-
day noon of the Both. The order Of exer-
cises is published in another column of this
paper. The subjects selected and the speak
ers who are advertised to discuss them should
make the meeting both interesting and
profitable. The last meeting Of this society
was the subject of some criticism by the
press and by many of its own members. In
various ways its executive committee has
endeavored TO adapt the association to the
peculiar demands of the educational situa-
ton in this state. So far as framing the
order OF exercises is concerned there is
abundant reason for hope that the coming
meeting will be notable one. The sub
ects chosen, the plan of illustrating methods
of instruction by the introduction of classes
of school children, and the distinguished
educational gentlemen from this and neigh
boring states who will give the assembled
teachers the benefit of their experience and
counsel, should make the occasion one
which the common school teachers aud off.
GERS should be unwilling to lose, and one in
which the general public should feel a
strong interest. We wish to call the atten.
ton of these three classes sharply to the OBJ
ject of these meetings. That object needs
no explanation. Ii needs only to be men

A CORRESPONDENT of the Washington
Capital says Here are few facts for my
democratic friends, whose eyes are already
glistening with the prospect of grand re-
distribution of official power in 1884. l
venture to ask most careful attention to
them There is man in this country named
George F. Edmunds. He halls from the
state of Vermont. He is the sort of man
whom large majority of the people in this
country want for president-very much that
sort of man. He is a republican, and the
other party does not happen to have any
man who possesses the public confidence
and respect to the same extent. He does
not want to be president, and will not try to
be. This is among the first qualifications
for the office. The feuds in his party will
probably make him necessity to it in 1884.
The factions can unite easily enough on
him. He is good man to keep in mind
when you are figuring on the next pres
idency"
