FARM AND GARDEN. Arc Tanners Quarks* Gil lilnsB tolls us that lia served as vulct to Dr. Smigriulo, who paid him untiling mid gavo him very little to wit, but pneouragod to drink water freely. “ Drink, my son, drink j you need not bo afraid of It; water Is the greatest pmiller mid Invlgorator. By no moans nogleet to drink a groat deal of water.”* Gil HIubs followed Ills ilh rootlons with fidelity until ho boenmo so weak and cumulated that ho began to think pf n now mastor and better ohoor. lint the doetor would nntglvo u. ) so docile n pupil, so ho took him ns a partner in his praotleo, after having t night him tho whole soioneo of medi cine in ono singlo sentence. “ Make your patient drink a great deal of wa ter and bo suro to bleed him freoly.— Blood-letting and wator-drliiklng aro Mio whole Of pharmacy.” There Is no .iced '0 panso to describe his career In aislsting his mastor In'depopulating tho city. Now, many farmers treat their lands In precisely this fashion. They feed thoir lands very lightly or not at all, and they roly upon water nlono to mike a crop. In the meantime, they b ood as freely ns possiblo at overy liar- v. st, and then-apply, leeches to tho s i fnco (in the shape of grazing stock) ti cxlrait tho last possiblo drop of blood. Aflor thoaystem has been pur sued for some time, tho fnrmer.is as tonished to find himself poor. Now, this is quackery, to prodneo a disease by injudicious treatment, and then ag gravate it by continuing tho samo. 1 would recommend to tills class of farm ers to treat their lands by ono of tho rules of tho Thompsonian practice, by which they cure a groat many patients, despite of their lobelia and steam; 1 moan good feeding and good nursing, so that nature may do tho rest. It is worthy of uoto that lands, well manur ed and well cultivated, seldom fall to produce a good crop, whilo thoso loft to the fructifying influences of water (rain) alono fall partially or totally In four caies out of tlvo. I do not under value 4,ho rains, anil dews and sunshine of heaven, but, for all that, I am not a watereuro man. J. B. S,—Southern Planter and Farmer. Hints to Faumeub.—In planting or lioolug corn, use tho ordinary hoes in general use. Netthor India rubber hoes nor cotton lioos would bo of any account in a corn-field ; no moro would ono of Hoe’s oight-cylindor presses. Don’t try to hold tho plow out at nrra’s length. You can’t do it. If you knvn’t a plow of your own, got out an attachment on your neighbour's, who owes you. Anyjustico will tell you whether you can hold it or not. I asked an old farmer once when was tho best ttmo to put in rye. He looked at his watch aud replied: “This is about tho hour.” Tho ryo was im mediately put In. All seasons are tho Bamo for putting in rye. Tho best place to keep corn Is in a corn-house, though soineprofcr to keep it.in [ysystem—in tho juice.. If they don’t koop corn, they keep corn'd. Good fencing is essential to a farm Get a good “ fencing ” mastor to learn you. A rail fence is bettor than an imaginary ono. You can’t repair a worm fence by taking vormlfugo. Sot fire-to your stablos if you wish to make them warm.in wintor. Tomako stone fonco,tako equal parts of vinegar and elder." This is tho re ciprocal stono fence; the moro you lay of it, tho moro it will “ lny ” you. Tho emdest way to draw saw-logs is on a pioee of paper with a crayon pen cil. Aftor a llttlo praotleo you will bo able to draw tho largest kind of Bnw-logs with perfeot case. 1’ucking-tliroad is of no use in pack ing pork. In curing hams tho time vnrios. Hams that liavo got tho tri china cau’t be cured nt all. How to Catch Hots. Pot catching rats in a cheap an effec tive mauuor wo recommend tho follow ing : Cover a common bnrrcl witli stiff, stout paper, lying tho odgo around tho bar cl; place a board so tlint the rats may have easy access to tho top, sprin- klo choose parings or othor “ feed ” for tho rats on tho paper for several days, until {[ley begin to believe that they have a right to their dally rations from this source. Then placo in the bottom of the barrel a picco of roo' , about six or sovon inches high, filling with water until only enough of it pro jects above the water for ono rat to lodge upon. Now replace the paper, first cutting a cross in the middle, anil tho first rat that comes on the barrel top goos through into tho wutor and climbs on tho rock. The paper comes back to placo and tho second rat fol lows tho first. Then begins a fight for the possession of tho dry place on tho stone, tho noise of which attracts tho rest; who share the samo fate Scien tific Farmer. Sweet Cucumheu Pickles.—Tako cucumbers when fully ripe, pare them, cut length wise, and tako out tho seed. Put them into weak brino ovor night. In the morning drain them, boil them tenderin weak vinegarnnd water,drain agnln, and pntinto jars, and turn ovor them tho syrup, hot. For the syrup, or “Sweet pickle,” allow to each pound of fruit (?) half a pound of sugar, and ono pint of vinegar to each fourpounds of fruit. Boil the vinegar and sugnv a few moments, then add mace, cinna mon and cloves to your taste, let it boil, and skim well. This pickle is ns good for cantaloupes, poaches or other fruit, ns lor the above. Naii. in the Foot To reliovo from tho terrible effects of running a nail in tlie foot of a man or horse, take peach leaves, bruise them, apply to the wound, confine with bandage, and tho cure is as if by magic, renew tho application twice a day, if necessary ; but ono ap plication usually does the work. I liavo cured both man and horse in nn hour, when they were apparently on the point of having the lock jaw. These recipes remembered and prac ticed, will save many valuable lives'; Heceipk von .Cuoi.10 on Scours in Horses.—Give u hulf tumbler of spir- i's of camphor in a pint of warm wpter (cold will do)—if not relieved jn fifteen minutes repeat tho dose. Give noth ing else. I have never known it to fail in a practice of 2o years. No af ter bad effects. My (otters to you on tho subject of tho “lilg snake,"seem to liavo excitod more attention than I dreamed of, and I am sorry I wrote nt nit, especially ns so many express ddubts ns to tho correct ness of iny statement. Even you, your self, socm to think I am only trying tho gullibility, of the public. I would not now como to you ngnin, oven with a sworn stntcmout, did I not have proof that will convlnco tho most skeptical, all burlesques and sensation tclcgrnms to the contrary nowltlislandliig.— “Truth Is stranger tlinn fiction,” and If n man only believes wlmt ho sees, how little of history would bo recorded. But I nm even able to bffur to n doubling puhllo that proof, namely; tho monster himself in propria perso nal, for ivo havo him, the very sniiko Hint has created such an uproar.— However, I will proceed with my nar rative, aiid givo you a plain, unvar nished statement of facts: I wrote you on tho 8th Instant that tho* serpent lmd 'Tiroken the box and elcarod for tho woodB. This created a grunt deal of consternation In the community, and all lay low until to ward evening, when tho neighbors got together and devised some means to put an end to him. On a closo exam ination of tho box it was discovered that they had put a defective plank in it, It being windshaken from one end to tho other, and thus, when the cap tive bognu to surge, he soon started tills plank, and was then able to break out. Tho hole in tho ground was now seenroly stopped, and every ono pres ent determined to muko it their busi ness to built him up and destroy him. Thoy felt it necessary for thoir safety. Strong bands, well armed, went togeth. cr and scoured the woods, beat tho thickets and soarchod closely every whore, until thoy bognn to' despair of success. But when they least looked for it, fortuno smiled upon thoir ef forts. Somo mllo and a half or two milos from tho den live a Mr. Isano Nelly nnd a Mr. Irvine, closo neighbors.— Yesterday morning Mr. Nolly walked ovor to Mr. Irvino’s, carrying with him his gun, an Enfield rlflo. Finding Mr. Irvine in his field, nearly nt tho top of the hill, nt work, ho called to him, nnd Mr. Irvine and be seated themselves on the fence, with their guns (for no man now went without ono) near them. Mr. Irvino’s was a common squirrel rifle. Thoy had talked some timo hero, when they become aware of a peculiar ly musky odor pervading the nir. Thoy lmd felt it at first, but it did not excite thoir attention until it beoame sicken ing in its power. Mr. Neilly. looked around unconsciously to see what eoud produce it, and there within sixty yards of them, and just above, lay the serpent, tho object of their dread. Their first impulse was to run, but after they had fnvoluntarily jumped from tho fence they thought bettor of it, and, like true men, ns they are, they determined to flro on it. They laid their guns oaro- fully on tlie fence, tho pnako never moving, and takingdellboratenim, fired at his head. At tho creak of tho guns an awful crashing and slashing was heard, and believing the awful oreaturo was upon them, thoy throw awny thoir guns and fled for dear life, nor did thoy stop uutll they reached the houso. The country was quiokly alarmed, aiid after a good deal of rcconnoltcring, tho spot was approached, to find the serpont gone, but leaving behind him such a great trail of blood thoy knew ho wns badly wounded. Without dif ficulty thoy followed this trail, and did not proceed more than two hundred yards down beside the fence before they espied him, porfeotly limp and dead. But it took sevearl shots from a distance to convince them of this be fore they dared approach. Tho struggle whero tho monster was shot must hnvo been terrific, for large bushes woro beat to thu earth, and the ground wns torn up where ho lmd-lash ed it with his tail. Great credit is duo to tho intrepidity of tho gentle men who shot him, for few would have dared it. Mr. Irviuo quickly brought a pair of mules to drag him off, but when the mules caught sight of the huge animal thoy beeamo so frightened nothin] could hold them, and they broke am tore away like mad. By this time a groat many people had collected, and thoy tied a chain around his neck with a running noose, and dragged him through the field to the big road. They now found a couple of strong horses gentle enough, nnd they with these determined to carry him to Nolons- ville, it being tho nearest point on the pike. Hearing of these circumstances I, in company with Mr. Bon. Johnson of this place, started for the scene of notion. When near Mr. Bittook’s wo mot with Esquire Groeno going to the same point.: Wo had not gone far : be fore wo hove in sight, and here we met with a very serious accident, for np sooner had our horses caught sight of tho luigo body of tho serpont than they bognn to plunge at such n rate ns to throw all Ihreo of us, Mr. Johnson and myself sustaining no injury, but Es quire Greene rocoivcd a sovero dislo cation of tho ankle, (hat will probably lomo him for life. discovered he was spotted like a rattle snnke, in diamond spots, and bis belly wns of a bright bluish black color. Wo cut him across the mlddlo and skinned him both ways, thus preserv ing the head whole. It was then well saltail nnd limed, nnd the ends were well sewed together, mid then by in serting Mr. Simpson’s hollows, we in flated the monster to its full size. Wo will lot it dry in this fix and then stuff it witli saw dust. Aud now comes the best of all. There are so many shares in it that Its captors liavo agreed to make a pres ent of it to Aiidrow Johnson. Tills determination was arrlvud nt In the Taco of a Very llbornl offer sent for it by Msssrs. Wall & Handy, of Frank lin.

J. L. Scales. An Italian inn-kcopcrconfessed ton priest, who asked him if ho never greas ed tho teeth of his guest’s horseso to ire vent their eating. Ho repliod tlint io had never dono so. The next timo he confessed that ho had committed the not several times. “Why,” said the irlest, “you told mo last time that yon ind never dono it.” “Holy father,” replied tho inn-keeper, “I did not know tho trick then.” A cool speoiinen of humanity stepped Into n printing office to beg n newspa per, 'Because,'said be, 'wollko to read newspapers very much, but our neigh bors aro too stingy to take ono.' If you are a lover don’t love two girls nt once. Lovo is a good thing, iut it is like butter In warm wcathor, it won’t do to have too much on hand at one time. ‘What are you kicking my dog for ?’ 'Because ho is full of floas.’ ‘Fleas, the dovit! Why that dog sleeps with mo.’. ‘Yes, that’s whar he gets ’em.’ The enemies of tho Frenoh Empire aro poginning to predict a repetition of all the horrors of the first revolution, which cost Louis XVI, and so many of his followers, their heads and trunks. The Holly Springs Reporter says Dr. Edward Leo, one of the most sci entific oculists in the State, if not in the South, operated for cntarnct on tho cyoof a freedboy named JackColcman, who had been totally blind for several years.
