Legs That Hear.

One Of the strangest and most un-
expected Of the uses to which we could
imagine leg as being put is that OF
IN organ of hearing. Yet such seems
to be one at least Of the functions OF
the fore legs in the cricket. On the
outer side Of the tibia small oval
space may be seen, In which the strong
armature which covers the rest of the
body is reduced to thin and mem
branous condition, making thus a sort
Of window or drumhead. Commune
eating with this, inside the leg, are the
ends Of q nerve, and 1t can hardly be
doubted therefore that the whole ap'
paratus constitutes an auditory organ.

For people of cities who 60 to the

up somewhat on the rights of the deni,
zens of the farming communities. First
that all products of the soil of the road.

long to the abutters or owners of the
land.
Apropos of the above, not long since

lists of the feminine gender invaded an
adjoining town to gather in the luscious
blackberry. Coming near to a farm
house, where by the side of the road
berries abound, they filled their dishes
and commenced to fill their hats. This
was the last feather that moved the lady
of the house to demonstrate. "We shall
pick all we want" came back from the
-ladies(g "We will see." Going to
the house she informed her husband OF
what they said. He, suffering with a
headache and lying down, rolled off the
bed, saying, "Not by d sight"
At his first appearance they FASTENED
to disappear, taking to their carriages
''acting not on the manner OF their GO
ing, but they went" Skirts were trail
ing, considering not the latest and most
aesthetic mode of holding the same.
Going farther on they found lady
berrying opposite her domain. Here
they consulted with her in relation to
laws, not of the Modes and Persians, bu,
of the rights of abutters and black
berry pickers. She answered them
politely, but not being satisfied they
went further and interviewed another
woman, and procured box, went on
and we don't know but they are going
still.
Yes. farmers have few rights left
just a few, and understanding those
rights dare maintain them against the
insolent encroachments of lawless

The officers seem to have got short
step nearer to the solution of the Olive
Broad mystery at Cornish, though
whether they will get any further may
be a question. The fred faced tramp"
arrested in West Athens and brought to
Cornish proved to be Isaac Douglass, a
rowing character quite we'll known in
several places. He at first denied ever
having been in Cornish, but after he had
been positively identified by several peo-
plo he admitted it, and then told his
story. He says that while near the road
over which Miss Broad travelled, on the
afternoon of the murder, he saw Miss
Broad go by, and not far behind her saw
a man pass, and soon afterward heard
two shots. He gives a not very detailed
description of the man he saw following
Miss Broad, and 1t is said that such a
man was seen at the station that after
noon. Whether there is any clue in
this, time will tell.

Whereas, For the first time in the his
tory of our Grange as a re-Organized
body, death has visited us and removed
from our mystic circle, under circum-
stances specially saddening to relatives
and friends, our beloved brother,
Freeland Donham; and,
Whereas, Brother Donham was greatly
interested in the principles and objects
of the Patrons of Husbandry, and having
been elected to the position of Overseer
of Mountain Grange, No. 164, of Buck
field, was ever faithful in the discharge
of his official duties, and in the promo
ton of the interests of the local body,
of which he had the honor of being the
second officer in rank; therefore
Resolved, That it is with great sorrow
that we bow in submission to the will
of One who is infinite in His wisdom,
and never lacking in that unbounded
love which admits of no mistakes and no
forgetfulness in dealing with the chill
dren of His creation; and in this hour OF
bereavement, we would cherish the SUD-
lime and the ever comforting faith of
the gospel, transferred to the pages of
our ritual, and presented in rites and
ceremonies that should never fail to i'm
press the minds and sway the hearts of
the most thoughtless.
Resolved, That we appreciate the
faithfulness and devotion of Brother
Donham to the good and welfare of
Mountain Grange, and will endeavor by
our emulation of his fidelity, to make
this organization the instrumentality OF
good to all classes and conditions of men
in this community, according to the in
tentions and endeavors of the founders
of the Patrons of Husbandry.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with the bereaved family of which
Brother Donham was the head, and we
extend to the wife and children, so sadly
afflicted, that brotherly and sisterly
sympathy which is commanded by oui
Lord, and springs spontaneously from
hearts processing the faith, and imbued
with the spirit of this great order: and
we assure the afflicted family that the
memory of our beloved brother will be
cherished by the fraternity of which he
was an honored member.
Resolved, That the charter of oul
Grange be draped in mourning for thirty
days in memory of Brother Donham
that for the like number of days the sis
tiers filling the positions of Flora, Ceres
and Pomona shall decorate the pedesta
of the deceased brothers position witt
flowers, and that copy of these resolu
tions be sent to the sorrowing family
also to the Oxford Democrat for publica
ton.

Although the summer has not been a
very propitious one, it has been too cold
and too wet, yet judging by the re-
ports of the railroads there have been
more visitors in Maine than ever before.
The financial condition of the people has
more to do with their summer excur-
sions than the weather. This year the
people are exceedingly prosperous, and
accordingly more have felt able to incur
the expense of summer tour than ever
before. Moreover each year the at
fractions of Maine become better known,
and attract more tourists.

PLEASANT VALLEY FRUIT FARM.

PLEASANT WALLET FhOli THN'N.
One of the lovely days of last week
your correspondent and family visited
Pleasant Valley Fruit Farm, Woodstock,
owned BY +. l.. Wyman. We found our
genial host and hostess with score OF
pickers busy harvesting their crop of
blackberrieS. They have for the general
labor upon the farm their son Perley
and Bert Day, with Mrs. Day employed
TO do the general housework, as Mrs.
Wyman is kept busy overseeing the
pickers and keeping record of each
picker's work.
As this is the only farm in this vicinity
devoted to small fruits we were much
interested in the method of harvesting
and marketing the large crop of straw
berries, raSpberries, blackberries and
other small fruits, and the quantity of
each raised this year: 700 quarts of
Strawberries, 5000 of raspberries, and an
estimated crop of 200 bushels of black
berries or 6400 quarts, sounds large, but
that is the size of the actual crop grown
by Mr.. Wyman. He has farm of about
60 acres, and on it there are 1000 apple
trees, 40 pear trees and 100 plum trees,
nice thrifty looking trees, most of them
in bearing. Two years ago he had 700
barrels of apples, and this year he ex-
poets 800 barrels of apples and 20 bushels
of plums, but his pear trees are not bear
ing this year.
Taking out the cost of picking and
marketing, the strawberries Melted him
about II - cents per quart, or 5000;
the raspberries cents per quart, or
$50; and the blackberries ) l-2 cents
per quart, o5 1852, quite an income from
these alone; and besides these are the
plums, apples, gooSeberries, currants
and general farm crops, the income from
which will p obably equal or exceed
those named. So he will get some Sl4OO
or $500 income from his farm of only
90 acres. Can any one beat that?
Mr.. Wyman pays l-2 cents per quart
for picking strawberries and blackber-
rieS, and cents per quart for picking
raspberries, employing from Is to %
hands, women and girls. Besides this
Mrs. Wyman has put up 200 cans of
raspberries and about 200 of other ber-
ries, which are all sold to city parties.
Mr.. Wyman has one of the incest fruit
cellars around here, holding 500 barrels
of apples.
We spent one Of our pleasantest days
with Mr.. and Mrs. Wyman, and came
home well pleased with our outing; and
if any one wishes to see what can be
be done with small fruits, we advise him
to visit Pleasant Valley Fruit Farm.
