A gardner says that he knows by ex-
perience that a table spoonful of saltpetre
dissolved in a pail of of water and sprinkled
on cabbage will keep off the worms and
not injure the cabbage. 1t will also free

striped bug and borer, if occasionally
poured on the earth.

In the Old Dominion.

From the Clinton county (O.,) Democrat
The following extract of a letter from
Will. S. Creighton, Esq. will be of inter-
est to the readers of the Democrat. He
writes from Staunton. Va:
From Washington we took the iron
way of the Virginia Midland down into
the Old Dominion to Charlottesville, the
seat of the University of Virginia, and
thence, via the Chesapeake and Ohio road,
to Staunton. All the day and all the way
we ran upon historic ground, in sight of
Bull Run, Manassas and Slaughter's Gap,
and many other battle fields on mountains
and in glens; in sight of Madison's mont
pelier" and Jefferson'S "Moticello." and
ever in sight, along the horizon S rim, of
that misty purple cloud-rack called the
Blue Ridge mountains. And SO we came
at length, burrowing through the noun
tain wall-a seven-eights Of mile tunnel
down into the Staunton valley, where it
lies nursing that ancient city in its lap,
complacent and serene.
At the station we were met by Col. j. L.
Peyton (he needs no introduction to
Clintonians,.I Think with out-stretched,
hospitable hands and cordial greetings,
and ensconced within his carriage behind
two spirited greys we swept on through
the city and out to his .'Steephill" home,
approached by winding road, perched upon
the mountain side, and inviting us up
thither where the windows were red lit
ten" and the dogs were baying welcome.
The dogs were very demonstrative as we
alighted A huge black mastitf paid his
respects to me in such fashion as would
have frightened well-appointed dude out
Of his boots. GU will observe by eX-
aiming his collar" said the Colonel,
that he is discriminating dog, or he
would incontinently have eaten you up. =
Craven upon the brass collar were the fol-
lowing lines composed by the Colonel when
the divine afflatus inspired him or genius
burned him :"
Let knaves, thieves and sea mps beware
Ofcoming near my Steephill lair.

age 445 900, 900 bushels. -
. OF 1.-THE difference, over 80 million bushels, at
least SO more are on hand than at the be.
ginning OF this period; the thirty remaining
are scarcely sufficient to offset the loss by
fire and on lakes and in manufacturing
The average consumption was 243, 900, 900
bushels; seed, $4,000, 900 bushels; exports-
zion, 1A0,00O,OOO bushels. The exporta-
ton Tor eight years was only II, 900, 600
bushels less than the entire export OF fifty
one preceding years. The decline in the
annual exports since 1880 averages 80. 0OO,-
900 bushels. The department estimates for
California are shown to be in excess OF ex-
portations and ordinary consumption by
4, 900, 900 bushels per annum, while local
commercial estimates are in excess 1OO,-
900, 900 in ten years. Assessors returns

Only one member OF the party has

was too late. Bishop Taylor writes
that the natives are giving his party
q very friendly reception, and are
eager to have the white people settle
among them. Some Of the chiefs have

who owns the navy, rendered his resignation
last May to avoid going to sea, and has
since been in Europe. He has reconsitered
his determination, however, and, with the
consent Of the secretary OF the navy, his res

he gets nearly 81 whole years leave OF alb

may be able to secure q pleasanter detail
