Nov. 8, 1856.
Farmers are busy huslying their
corn, and report r pretty good yield.
The present cold is somewhat Of
a surprise to great many people;
| guess some Of our Democratic
friends think it is a Judgment sent
on them because they didn't come
out to the election last Tuesday
aud thereby suffer Democratic
defeat.
Isaac Brown gave q corn-husking
Friday night and invited the boys.
They pulled the husks for dear life
but when they heard the supper
bell about nine o'clock, they were
all willing to respond to The call,
and the fried chicken, mashed po-
tatoes and cider also, were attacked
with the same vigor as the corn.

Intelligence of Driver Ants.

There are certain ants that show
wonderful intelligence, and the driver
ants not only build boats, but launch
them, too; only, these boats are formed
of their own bodies. They are called
drivers" because of their ferocity.
Nothing can stand before the attack of
these little creatures. Large pythons
have been killed by them in single
night, while chickens, lizards, and other
animals in western Africa flee from them
in terror. To protect themselves from
the heat, they erect arches, under which
numerous armies of them pass in safety.
Sometimes the arch is made of grass and
earth gummed together by some secre-
ton, and again it is formed by the bodies
Of the larger ants, which hold them
selves together by their strong nippers,
while the workers pass under them.
At certain times of tho year freshets
overflow the country inhabited by the
"drivers," and it is then that these ants
go to sea. The rain comes suddenly,
and the walls of their houses are broken
in by the flood, but instead of coming to
the surface in scattered hundreds and
being swept off to destruction, out OF
the ruins raises a black ball, that rides
safely ON the water and drifts away. Al
the first warning of danger the little
creatures rush together and form solit
ball of ants, the weaker in the center
often this ball is larger than a common
base ball, and in this way they float
about until they lodge against some tree
upon the branches of which they All
soon safe and sound.-St. Nicholas.

A KnnwarOO'S Love.

When the congress of kangarOOS
at the Ninth and Arc Museum were
recently shipped from Australia to
this city by way of Liverpool they
were separated in the latter city,
part of them being placed on the
Assyrian Monarch and the rest on
the Persian Monarch, there not
being enough room on either ship
for the fifteen cages. "F'lora," a
female kangaroo, manifested great
reluctance when separated from
her mate, who was put on board
the other steamer, and she became
very melancholy and dumpish, re-
fusing to eat or drink and rejecting
the caresses of her keeper, to which
she had been daily accustomed. AT
first the keeper thought his pet was
sick and administered such medi-
cine as he thought would benefit
her, but all to no purpose, the same
restlessness was apparent, and she
called repeatedly and seemed to
strain her ears for reply. During
the voyage she gave birth to two
bright-eyed kangaroo babies that
nestled in the mothers pouch, peek
ing out now and then and hiding
ON the approach of any of the pass
engers. Meanwhile "Jack," the
mate Of "Flora," looked. anxiously
out the bars Of his cage for his
mate, and called, but no answer
came, The ship bearing "Flora'
was first to arrive, and the batch
of kangaroos on board were at once
sent to this city. The other load OF
kangaroos arrived last Friday in
New York and were shipped here
yesterday. Last night at the Mu-
aeNm "FIora" evinced great un-

We predicted for the liquor deal

We predicted for the liquor deal
ers of Ohio, some time ago that the
Dow law tax as imposed by the
present Legislature, was but n feel
er put out by the Republicans,
which will eventually come to the
practice of its theory of prohibiting
the liquor manufacture and sale by
extremely heavy taxation, and that
if the people did not express dissat-
isfactlon with this method, would
proceed with the carrying out of
the plan at once. Now the election
is scarcely over when this sugges-
tive paragraph appears in the IRON
ton Register, II Republican paper:
The Dow law tax ought TO be gently moved
up TO 5000 next winter, If the naked question
of this increase could be Submitted TO the
voters OF Ohio, II would carry To !.
The liquor dealers of Ohio who
voted with the Republican party
on last Tuesday voted to tax their
business out of existence. This Is a
bare fact without argument as to
whether 1t Is right wrong.--I9n'es.

Treatment of Suffering children.

u An excellent and humane arrange
ment hes been introduced into the ele-
mentary schools Of Brunswick. All the
children who are found to stammer or
stutter are examined by specialist
physician, DR.. Berkhan. who reports
upon the cause and degree of their in
trinity. They are then arranged in dis
tinct classes, apart from the other
scholars, where the lessons are given by
teachers from the deaf and dumb school.
Four such classes were formed last year,
with an average of ten scholars in each
class. After patient had useful train
ing, most of the children were de-
olared to be completely cured of the
malady, while an improvement was
reported in all of them. DIR. Berkhan
says that the malady occurs far more
frequently among poor families than
among the well-to-do, and that unless it
is dealt with in public schools there is
small likelihood OF the sufferers being
healed in later years. Boston Tran

VOL. VIII. RISING SUN. CECIL COUNTY. MD. l.

directly benefited the agricultural in
terest of his native county.
Mr.. Duyckinck inquired whether
members had noticed the ravages of
green worm which was damaging
the wheat to very considerable ex-
tent by cutting the straw two or three
inches below the head. Some farmers
in his neighborhood estimated loss
of one fourth of their crop by this
worm. Members generally had
noticed the destruction of the wheat
by the worm, which was not the army
worm but apparently a comparatively
new insect enemy. Rev. Mr.. Galley
had observed the worm for the past
two years but the damage to the crop
the present year threatened to be
much more serious than formerly.
The red variety was attacked in pref
erence 20 the Fultz. Another insect
apparently follows the green worm
and devours the head. when it falls to
the ground after being cut off by the
worms. No remedy for this new evil
was known to members. Mr.. H. S.
Coudon facetiously suggested that
congress bepetitioned to lay tax on
the worms. "A recess was taken till
dinner was announced after which the
members were called together and
asked for the customary criticisms
on the farm, stock etc.
Mr.. H. S. Coudon hadn't seen any
thing. The fine cattle which had been
extolled to high water mark had dis.
appeared; no opportunity for criticism.
Mr.. Noyes had seen two fine fields of
grass as he drove in through the farm
but the rain which had been falling
since the Club assembled he regretted
had prevented an extended examina-
tion of the farm. The members gen.
orally commended Mr. Moore's sys-
tenn of farming and agreed that all
his growing crops were most thrifty
and gave promise of abundant har.
vests.
H. S. Coudon asked for some in.
formation about the utility of artesian
or bored wells. Members had not
much experience with those wells,
but what was known was favorable.
The Messrs. Mcdowell were prepared
with machinery for sinking bored
wells. and were engaged in the bust
ness.
Mr.. Carson had clipped an article
written for the Ohio Farmer, on
Bogus Butter, which Mr.. H. S. Cou.
don read. The article was we'll writ.
ten and took very high ground against
taxing the article by Congress. The
Club did not indulge in, or enter
elaborately into discussions of agri-
cultural subjects, but members gave
themselves up more to the pleasures
of social enjoyment, and the CONVEX
sation largely ran in rythm to the
pattering of the rain, while they oc.
cupied the large varanda digesting
the comfortable dinner prepared by
Mrs Moore, and enjoying their cigars.
The next meeting of the Club was
appointed for August 11th to be held
at Mr.. A. j. Michener's. July, the
harvest month, is always skipped. all
the time and energy of farmers being
demanded in securing the crops
which mature at this season.
We trust that Mr.. Michener will
have prepared for the occasion an es.
say bristiing with points of interest
to the farmer that will elicit an ami.
mated and profitable discussion.
