As to quallty, they are not quite so watery our plums, but there appears to b9 no superlorlty of flavor. There Is a vast dlfference in our nativo plums in siz?, form, color and quallty, and by selec tion and the growing of seedlings In cultl valed ground they mlght be rapldly 1m proved, The two varieties named above have betn tested in Vermont, but both of them prove unsatisfactory on account of llowering too carly, so as to be bllghted by frost. We have had the lllner twelve ycars and have never got more than a dozen plums, though it blosaoms full every year. J. T. Macomber of Grand I'le reports the same with Wild Goose. llesides tliis, the Mlner is so late in ripening that frost catches them at that end of the season, too. farmer will deny that green corn fodder is a good thlng and pays woll, and then not ono In tcn ralscs enough for hls tmmediate use, and not one in a hundred ralses as much as 1)0 cau well use in tho fail and early wlntcr. 1 to Khhet lio had more, and there the matter cnds. Tho silo therefore becomes tho Irlsli- nian's trunk to the mas?. It leaves them na- ed. Another point. The nogro charged a dollar for killing a calf. Whon the party complained of the prlce be said fifty cents was for killlng and fifty cent? was for the "know how." In a good many of the oi periments reported I apprdiend that the major part Is the "know how. For In- stanne when 1 read that a man has wintered ten cows on the corn grown on four acres, I see plalnly that the " know how " Is the thlng to be patented, and not tho silo, for cor- tainly It will not beclalmed that a silo adds anything to the nutriment of tho corn, and I have grown fodder corn so stout that it was a standing wonder, but we could not make lt do any sucb great things as the above when we fed lt fresh from the fleld. And I em- ploy a farmer who has seen cows bofore, too. Also in the matter of gettlng all these thiugs done, the priccs reported are so low that t see plalnly that the real thlng is not ln the bIIo nor the fodder corn but in the " know how." All mauuer of agenta coiue to my door ; most of them go away as poor as they came, but when one knocks who has this " know how " for sale I shall get It even if 1 have to sell my coat. E. J. U, Wells Hlver, Vt. Harcly Chcrries. We have found lt very difficult to get va rioties of cherry to stand the climate of northeastern Vermont. The hardlest kinds we have tried aro some of the Dukes (May Duke, Late Duke) aud Larly Hlchmond, J T. Macomber of Grand Isle says tbat the Kentish and a variety of Morello are hardl est there. Some of the Dukes (Ileine Ilor tense, for ono) are not hardy. Mr. Macom' ber does not give the narae of his hardy Morello, but we see the " English Slorello, or large Jlorello," double starred for Ver mont in the last report of the American I'omological Society. A fow years ago we received from the west by inall small trees of the Web and Montmorency cherries. These have grown well and seem perfectly hardy, but have not yet fruited. Montmorency is given by Downing as a synonym for Flem isli, a yellow, sub-acid cullnary cherry ; but HAEDWAEE! OORDAG-B! Glass! DPaiixts! DOOES, SASH AND BLINDS!

And now. the soldlers from the north had come the north, that blessed country whence they alwajs thought relief would come they were near at haod, coming from Fort Fisher at Federal Polnt right into Wilmington. The white men told their slaves that the troops were coming, that they would shoot thelr negroes, klll them, and that the best thlng they could do was to flee wlth their owners to the woods. So the mulea were harneased, and wagon loads of them started for the woods, but not to go far, for soon off they jumped and ran back to meet the coming soldlers, leavlng their owners to ride on and away, calling in yain for them to follow. When the troops reached Wilmington what a reception awaited them, hungry and parched after thelr long march. The negroes had, Insteadof gunandmnsket shot to meet them, a banquet of piea, hoe cakes, water and tobacco a welcome sort of grape-shot that.

Tlie New Eusland Agrlculturnl Society, At a recontmeetingof the trustees of this society tbe question of continuiug tho fair at Worcester was dtscussed. There was practical unauimity for that location, though Mr. lienjamin 1. Wareof Marblehead spoke on the other side, saylug : " Thid societv was orrtanlzed as the New l'ne- land Agrlcultural S'jciety, ah 1 guppose. for tlie purpofe of promotlag tlie educatlonal Interentg and all other interettta vt agriculture, and with the view of holdiog its falrs at rarious times in the diiferent stAtes of New Kngland.

Mr, Waro is a good honest man, but he is green. The New Eogland Agricultural So ciety was organized to show off the hand aome l)r. George B.

Loring got Into the legislature, into congress, nnd into the coramissionership of agriculture. His faithful Sancho, Alr. Needham, through his help got a bank commissionership. They have ruu tbe society " for all it was worth," and are about done with it. It will die and be buried at Worcester, and there will be no tears shed over lta grave. the way where I was a stranger, for these had not changed. Whether this is iudeed my last view of these landmarVa is yot tn h seen. My early journeyings were up and down the valley of Lake Champlain, where I could see the sailing sloops afar from the mountain smn- mlts, and where, in heaps of rocky ruins, are recorded the events of war at Ticon' deroga and Crown 1'oint; and at one polnt of my ride on the Central Vermont road I saw within a few feet of the car-windowthe same old " high bridgo " across Onion river that, fifty years ago, I passed with my pack on my back, on my way to Middlebury col lege, drawn by the charm the very name of college. tho same car-window, the distant stern edl fice where the saddest part of my whole life was spent in trial and Buflering to little or no purpose.

FOR THE How KWorks. Very great efforts have been put forth in the Vermont legislature, at different times, to repeal the usury laws of the state. These have been defeated by declsiye votes, which have discouraged a repetition of the at'empt. llut the speakera retained in behalf of the money lending intereat, (one promincnt meinber told us that he was offered 9500 to advocate that side, but ref used), insisted that the effect of a repeal of the usury lawa would be to reduce the rate of interest. This same argument was put forward in the MaS' sachusetts legislature, and was successful, though probably few who voted agalnst the usury laws belleved their own argumenta. No doubt the pecuniary logio used at Mont peller was more successful in Itoston. And uow that they have " f ree trade in money " in the flay State, have these promises been fulfilled ?

On my way across the mountains on foot, with my little all in one hand, going to Aa dover, one hundred and fifty miles, without one cent in my pocket, the mother of Goy- ernor Proctor tried to detain me at her house another day, as I supposed, to see what mlght be learned of me and my wanta. I declined the invitation, but accepted a little food for the journey. Her husband was a distant relation, but her I bad seen but once before, and only once slnce, as for many years she has slept with ber f athera ; but it has left upon my memory a brighter than all else of early years that look of kindness from one who never knew want.

Since we know not at present any drug that possessea therapeutio value to any marked extent in this terrible aud fatal dis ease, and since it is daily making sad bavoc among human beings, and principally among that class who, by reason of their valuable public labors, are particularly necessary to the welfare of the world, therefore it becomea a medical question of paramount interest that we should discover some potent method of combating this very prevalent diseass. Some years since Carel first called attention to the treatment of Bright's disease by the use of a milk diet, and sinco then Uuncan, as well as many other prominent physicians, have written on this subject. We have our seives seen some remarkable resuits follow thia treatmeut, while Dr. S. Weir Mltchell, of our citv, ia now quite an enthusiast on this subject 'This method of treating a formid able disease haa received eufiicient dis tinguished endorsement to recommend it T .1 Tl ihai-a. lore, asK all pnysiciaus wno reao tuis articio to try this method of treatment, and to fumish ua wlth their experience, which we will publish. The milk is used thoroughly sklmmed and entirely freed from butter. To procure the best resulta it has been advised that the patient ehall restrict blm self absolutely to milk and continue the treatment for a long time. lf It disagreea with the stomach (as it will in some cases), Dr. Mltchell adyisea tbat the patient be put to bed, and the treatment commenced with tablespoonf ui doses, to which lime water is added, untll the stomach tolerates tbe milk, when from eight to ten pints daily should be taken, and absolutely nothing else. The san tion of such a distinguithed physiclan as Dr. Mitchell forces us to seriously consider the merits of this treatment, aud we trust to recelve the experience of all readera of thia journal who may have cases of Bright's disease to trert.

There ia a capltal etory in Fraser'i Mag aiine illustratiye of the almoat irresistible tendency of the civilized iavage to revert to tbe customs of hla ancestors. Tbe Basuto chief, ltantzinl, a nephew of Moshetb, had been convertea to civiuzauou, euucauun, breeches, coats and collara. He was a pro fessed Christian, and dressed as a Kaifr or Ijndon dandy accustomed to good society mlght be expected to dress. This had been his mode of llfe for years. But one day an event happened. Ile was discoursing flu ently and eloquently to a meetlng oa the im- portauce and napptness oi peace, anu ot a regular life of labor, and of echool and church attendance. He was fashionably dressed ; aud as he spoke hia paper oollar Ir ritated his ueck. lla tried to put it right, but the button-hole broke. Then suddenly the long rcpressed savage broke forth. Tearing off thecollar.he changed altogether the current of hia apeech. " I am tired of thla impoature. A somethtng arisea within me it springa upon me now j it tells me 1 am talking nonsense. Away with this spu rlous clvilizitlon I" He tore off coat, vest aud breeches untll he Btood forth tbe totally uuadorned savage. Then he set fire to lhe school in which be bad been lecturing, and departed ; and has slnce lived hls old llfe. lf lUntzinl's coltar had been but a little strouger, he rnight at thia moment be a model of civilized respectabllity.

If, lu our human llfe, wo actej only then, lf then all Bacrifices were made, all victorlea won, there would be but little diUhulty in llfe. Tiik grass of tha fleld la better than the ccdars of Lebanon, It feeds more, and it rests the eye better that tbyiny, dalsy-eyod carpet, making earth fair and swoet and homelike.
