A Singular Story—lteiijiuniii ST-aiiLlin mu! his Sots in the Elevokition. Some twenty years since ltev. Dr. Hawks, rector of Cavalry Church, New York, was appointed historian to the Protestant Episcopal Church in this country by the General Convention of the church. In his official caoacity Dr Hawks had access to the papers of the deceased Bishops of the Church, and in the journal or diary of Bishop White, of Pennsylvania, he found the 'following bit of curious private history, which the Hartford Courant publishes, he having imparted it to a resident of that city: The good Bishop, while on a visita tion not long after the close of the Rev olutionary War, stopped at a tavern in a remote country parish. About mid night he was awakened by a loud and excited.conversation in the next room, which was separated from his by a thin uoaril partition. Not wishing to over hear a private conversation, the Bishop contrived to inform his neighbors of his presence. The voices sunk into a whisper, but soon broke out again under violent excitement. The Bishop coughed again, but was obliged to listen to a family quarrel, the cause and sub stance of which was in effect as follows: The parties in dispute were father and son. and both were large real estate holders. It appeared that on the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, the two had deeded each to the other a 1 the property standing in his name, with the understanding that the deeds were to be surrendered at the close of the war. The son was to go to Eng land as a royalist, the father to remain and support the popular cause, in this way pach hoping to escape loss. The war had now been closed for some time. The son had returned from England, where he had received a royal grant of land for his loyalty, and had met his father by appointment to demand the restitution of the property as agreed.— The father, who was a prudent man. concluded to keep the property, and hence the quarrel. The next morning Bishop White asked the landlord of the hotel the names of the two gentlemen, and was informed that they wore Ben jamin Franklin and his son! Protcctou Against liillmclj Frosts. A correspondent of the Agricultural Gazette of London gives his experience with regard to the frosty nights that sometimes occur late in the Spring or early in the Autumn. He says that when he suspects that there is or has been a frost on his vegatables he atvnee goes out into his garden, gets his water ing-pot and sprinkles those tender plants which are liable to bo frost bit ten —taking care to do this before the sun rises. By this means be has never failed to obviate the disastrous effects of frost, when his immediate neighbors have suffered severely from them. The remedy is simple, inexpensive, not laborious, and well worth trying. The most forlorn victim of the pre sent hard times, announces himself by the declaration that he has given up wearing suspenders, and trust to Prov. idence to keep his trowsers on. An enthusia.-tic correspondent writes that ‘-The women suffragists of Massa chusetts are stripping for the contest.” If that is true they are likely to have plenty of followers. A Chinese F'nhn . A priest, seeing a piece of old paper on the ground, told hi* pupil to pick it up, which he did immediately. “What paper is it. ? ” asked the priest. “It is,” said the pupil, “what once enveloped some perfume, has beeu thrown away, but Vet retains the odor.’’ Goiug farther, the priest saw a piece of string upon the ground, and again told the pupil to take it up. “What string is it?” he asked. The pupil said, — “It has a strong smell of fish, once tied with it.” “In the beginning,” said the priest, “man was pure and without blemish, but by frequent contact with others, he has brought himself happiness or pun* ishment. If one keeps the company of wise and good people, he becomes wise and good; but if ho contracts friendship with foolish and wicked people, misfor tune and punishments overcome him.— As with this paper, it continues to be fragrant from having once enveloped perfume; as the string has become stink iuv, having once touched the fish. In our intercourse with men , insensibly we contract good and had habits from them.” Lime Tor (ilvap mill Grain. A dressing of lime on land to he sown down with wheat, oats or clover and the grasses, is, in a majority of ca -es, one of the most remunerative that can he made, provided that lime can bo procured at reasonably cheap rates. — Ii is not merely' as a plant food that lime is useful. It is still more impor taDt as a preparer of plant fool. Its reaction with the acids of the soil, its strcujg action upon decaying vegetable matter, and its faculty of converting clay into mud, and rendering it me chnnieally (it for culture, are some of its most obvious uses, and as a general rule, it. may he assumed that the lacd which is the richest in vegetable sub stances will benefit most by the free use of lime, and gravelly sand the least.— It is open question how littie lime may he profitably applied per acre. The English farmers use lime heavily, put* ting it on their fields at the rate of from seventy-five to one hundred bushels per acre, atid making one application do for a number of years. Lighter dressings, made yearly, do better here —say from five to twenty bushels, depending upon the amount of vegetable matter in the soil and its acidity. Our Charleston marl lime, or calcined marl, is better than the ordinary stone liuie. Oyster Shell Lime is superior to any. Sbatli'-Tiees. Many farmers now see how they have missed it by permitting the wholesale destruction of forest trees upon their lands From the nakedness of the country droughts are becoming com mon. From the scarcity of timber trees the cost of fencing and erecting build imrs is annually increasing. But there is one way whereby amends may be partly made. Let there be one united plan to have rows ofbeautiful and use ful trees set out on both sides of all our public highways. Let sugar-trees, wal nut-trees, chestnut trees, locust-trees, silver-leafed poplar-trees, etc., stretch their long avenues in every direction all over the country. llow it would re lieve the nakedness of the land! What a grateful shade they would give to the weary traveler! The value of farms would become almost immediately en hanced as soon as these rows of beauti ful trees were planted out. And iu the distant future, when those trees should arrive at maturity of growth, the value of the timber itself would be come a most important item. Let grangers and others take hold of this matter. The other day, as a Detroiter was riding on the Pontiac road, he came across an old lady seated in a buggy which had been halted within a few yards of the Grand Railroad track. She seemed to be uneasy about something, and as he drove up she asked : “Say, mister, haint you the engine?” IJe politely informed her that he was not, indeed, when she pointed to the sign which read: “Look out for the engine,” and add. ed, “I’ve waited mor’n two hours for the old engine to go by; but I’ve got tired, aud if it don’t como pretty soon I’ll drive right on aud go home.” ItHJK’U: VS. HORSE FLESH. Lniuirnlleled Race Aguiuat Time-One Hundred Jllle* id Twelve Hours. [From the Highland [Ohio) Nws, Oct. 23.] '1 he most extraordinary fete of travef ing, without the aid of steam or horse power, ever performed in this country (at least of which we have any recordj, was accomplished last Thursday, be tween this place aud London, Madison county, between James M. Mason, a young Dish gentleman, who is at pres ent making his home at the residence of James B. Herron, a few miles north west of town. Mr, Mason returned a few weeks ago from a visit to Europe, and brought with him an improved bicycle or two-wheel velocipede, ofc London manufacture, and it was upon this machine that he performed the ex traordinary fete above referred to.— Leaving this place at precisly 6 o’clock, Thursday mornir.g, he rode to London', and returned to a point about seven miles north of Hillsboro, a distance olf 90 miles, in exactly 11 hours and 40 minutes, being at the rate of a fraction loss than eight aud a half miles an hour, including a stoppage of 30 min utes in London and of 20 minutes at Washington on his return. Besidog these stoppages he lost nearly half an hour between Washington and London, on the up trip, by getting on the wrong road and being obliged to turn back, and fully an hour more by having to travel up a fieahly graveled road be tween Washington and London, whioh greatly impeded bis progress, and in creased the labor of propelling the bicycle. Deducting these losses, and 15 minutes allowed him for unavoidable detention from other causes, amounting in all to two hours and 35 minutes lost time, and Mr. Mason’s actual running time for SO miles was only nine hourjl and five minutes, or nearly 11 miles an ..• , w hour] A Methodist preacher traveling in the back settlement of a Western State, stopped at a cabin where an old lady re ceived him very kindly, giving him a warm supper, and asking many ques. tions : “Stranger, where mought youJ>e from /” “Madam, I reside in Shelby county Kentucky.” “Well, stranger, hope no offence, but what mought you be doing out here ?’,• “Madam, I am looking for the lost sheep of the tribe of Israel.” “John,” shouted the old lady, “here's a stranger all the way from Kentucky a hunting lost stock, and I’ll just bet my life that old curly-haired black ram that cauio into our yard lust week is one of hisen.” When a young man's bead begins to “run” on “alabaster shoulders,” exqui site ankles, and similer excitin’ goods, he must either be “shut up,” discon tinue business, and travel, or else“jine’/ some interesting piece of calico for life.
