That I cannot explain. Homo very

that for twenty years my orchard and gar
den have sutt’ered from frost on the lull

of the twenty. Oh, how I should hate to
have my plants cut down now, after nil

The plants you have growing now will

Bust Aoe of Mares for Hreedixo.—In
reply to the question, “At what ago ought
mures to breed, to make it host for them
to colt, and to produce the best possible
horse in the long run ?” a correspondent
of tho Geuessoe Farmer states that the
most solid horses nro from parents past
ton years old. It iH quoted as tho opin
ion of Col. Win. li. Johnston,of Virginia,
an “old Napoleon of tho turf,” that if
raising a mure for hreediug puposes only,
one should commencee at two years old,
if sho were well grown, not for the value
of her first colt, but for tho extension of
her breeding properties, and enlarging
her nursing capacities.
Corn For IIooh.—The Southern Plant
er advises those who havo not yet plant
ed (heir corn, to leave a portion of their
crop only partially tbinuod, to be cut up
and fed whole to tho hogs, stalk aud all,
as soon as they lmvo gleaued the harvest
flelds. ll fattens the hogs in summer,
savos corn, nud is cheaper and better
than root crops. Mr. ltnffla states that
be has tried it for eleven years, and never
regretted it.

Aud what do you do for the green
ni that eats up all the tender heads of
the cabbage ?”
“This is a troublesome customer, nml
bo far hns baftled the skill of th • gardener.
There is a miller or fly, that lays its
egg ou tho leaf, which hatches into tho
worm. A little salt put into tho cabbage
has been found n preventive, us insects
do not like salt, and the cabbage being a
heu shore plant, does. There is a variety
of cabbage, tho green glazed, that is not
eaten by worms. Tho leaves look ns if
they had been varnished, aud tho fly does
pot deposit its ogg on them.”
“Well, llioro is another worm, still
worse nud worse, the cut worm. Can you
tell me how to be rid of him ?”
“Yes, Madam, 1 can. Havo yon any
loads in your garden ?’’
“Toads! NYhnt, toad-frogs?”
“T he same, Madam."
“No, I hope not. Whenever I lmvo my
Warren hoe iu my hand, nud a toad shows
bis ugly head, I chop it oil’ quicker.’’
! “Then you do wrong. You destroy the
post friend you havo in tho garden. Tho
land lives upon insects, and is most fond
of insects destructive to vegetation. Tho
cut worm is his savory morsel, and if, in

his farm by Mr. J. W. Floyd, ten miles
west of this city, which, whilo gratifying
natural curiosity, cany us back to tho
(Jays when the red man and his dusky
bride held sway over these once verdent
mountains and vales. How long they
have boon hidden from the view of those
who now labor and toil over their rest, is
beyond our knowledge.
The articles which we have Roon and
handled are a brass boiler, holding about
one gallon, with tho evidence of long use,
being burned out, as we say, at the bot
tom, and in this was carefully placod a
copper ladle, thin, and about the size of
those now in use, the handle being about
inches long, in fair preservation; a
silver bracelet, Urge enough for a man’s
wrist, thin, and three inches wide, iu fair
state of keeping, with tho word “Chero
kee," iu large English capitals engraved
on it; a snuff-box, nt least supposed to
havo beeu, apparently of boll metal, ob
long shape, ubout four inches long oiul
three wido, with the mime “Win. Feler-
kio, 17.'»0," engraved in bold letters. On
either side of.tbis relic is a handsomely en
graved pictureof Abraham,about to slay bis
son; tho alter, goat,and surrouudiug perfect.
On the othor, “Ilagarin the Wilderness,”
with her perishiug child aud the attendant
angel, nre well executed ; a pair of modi-
urn sized shears, much rusted ; a dozen or
more lurgo rings of brass, full two aud u
half inches in diameter, completed the
list.
The skeleton of tlio individual, whether
mala or fcrnalo could not be doteriuined,
was found surrounding this grave. Mr.
Floyd thinks there nro many more, from
tho fact that grain or any other thing
planted there grows luxuriantly in mnuy
places, while adjacent to it tho crop is
poor. Ho purposes marking all such Rpots
this season, and possibly another fall will
eunble him to open a world of similar cu
riosities aud utensils of a people lost to
everything save memory. Had we been

In compliance with tho law, our City
