Farm, Garden and
Pennsylvania Bains.
The editor of the Minneapolis 7Wbux*has been taking a stroll East, andthus discourses of tho barns he sawthere:
"May I jump from the foot-lights tothe farm ?.from Chicago to Pennsylvania? In Chester and Lancaster countiesis, I think, the most finished farmingin the Union. The farms, composedof a brickdust sort of soil, arecultivated from fence to fence, everyrood, as the farms of Flemings and ofBrittany are cultivated from hedge tohedge. Cattle stand with their fourfeet in two feet of clover. Every fieldis a park. Every barn is a cow-palace.Every pig-pen is a porcine parudise.Pennsylvania is pre-eminently theState of burns. Think of a three-storystone barn, with a swell front and dormerwindows in the roof, and a luxuriousportico where the Sybaritic calveschew the cud of sweet contentment onsummer eveuings ! And then beholdthe little cabin in the rear where theagricviltnral Dutchman lives with his44 frow," and where the children lie onthe floor and envy the happy calves inthe lattice portico. Every barn is threetimea as large as the house, which pernsas a sort of appendage, and, as it were,plays second fiddle to it. The barn isheadquarters, tnd the house is a sortof sentry-box where the man resideswho t«hes care of it. The barn isshd-'d, and the pig-sty is glazed, thechicken coops are painted, and theworm-fences arc whitewashed as far asyou can see. I lrsve no doubt theoriginal dwellers here whitewash theground for ueres around the domiciletwieo Or thrice a year, till they learnedlife fatality.
I do not know about the effect on cattleof so much petting. I should thiukit would tend to make the animalsaristocratic, yet I do not knew of anypluce where cattle are more stuck upthan they are in the West. There, youknow, we have no barns to speak of.There are townships enough in Minnesotawhere everything with horns hasthe same chance to fight for the wui tnKlilp rif u i» «..**.~ . - ..j-jeun«-ry, ana, itmust be admitted, tb« XVcakev animalsare considerably bu'mp-backed and subduedin their feelings by April. Moreover,bero the farmers use fertilisers,but in Minnesota we have an idea thatthe earth is an orange to be sacked, agoose to be plucked, a sponge to besqueezed, a reservoir to be everlastinglydrawn from, without in the leastdiminishing its flow. Ail through thecentral West they are learning, whatMinnesota has yet to learu that' Nature's wheat vesorter,' to which thepovt so touchingly alludes, is notbalmy sleep, but manure."

the forehead, and Bnout, and again underthe eyes, separating the snout fromthe forehead ; also liavo the eyes, lids,and surrounding membranes, with thesac, removed, going close to the bonesocket that the eye may not break.Then remove the ears, with the wriukledskin surrounding them, taking out thecanal of the ear, and the horny portioncontaining the drum, etc. After thisis done the bones of the snout are easilytakeu out. Put the pieces to soak inplenty of lukewarm water, draining offand adding fresh until the blood is removed.Singe off the hairs, and examinethe fleshy part of the snout andlower jaw, taking oft' the skin, whichwill now come away easily with theknife; wash again and salt.

three essentials.color, texture, andllavor. "The color must be a richgolden yellow ; the texture linn, tenacious,waxy ; and that uuttv flavor andsmell which impart so high a degree ofpleasure iu eating it."

Large Farms,The lig farms are not all in the new
States. James Young has one near
Middletown, Pa., which is nearly 1,(HX)acres in extent. Upon the propertyare 25 miles of board feneiiia. r>ont«>«lwith whitewash, and the gates paintedred ; three miles of private roa Iwav, allin first-elass condition, and ab<#ut livemiles of drain pipe; also nine dwellinghouses and eight large barns, neat andsubstantial. Twenty-five acres are devotedto orcharding, and the remainder,this year, was cropped as follows : Hay,21S acres; wheat, 190 hcres ; corn, 1(13acres; oats, 122 acres; pasturage, 70acres ; potatoes, 9 acres ; gardening, 3acres, and the place is well stocked.

Life on a Prison Ship.
A ReuiliiUccMr* itf the UevoiutlonarW«r.
A description of life on board th"Jersey " prison sbip during the Rev<Intionary War, is a fair sample of tblife of tho prisoners on board of tbrest; for, although the jersey hagftined a bad pre-eminence as a priSorship, which would naturally lead manto suppose that her prisoners alone wersubjected to suffering and privation, thtestimony of those confined in the otlivessels prove clearly that their trea'ment was everywhere the same. Thonly difference lay in the fact that thJersey was larger than the others, an
continued in the service longer. Of a
the vessels so used as prisons, the Jersegained the greatest notoriety, her namstriking terror to the heart of everAmerican sailer. Originally a G4-guship, condemned as unfit for serviceshe had been stripped of spars and rifging, and anchored at Wallabout as

The prisoners weidivided into messes of six each, wh<every morning at the ringing of thsteward's bell received their daily alowauce of pork or beef, peas and biicuit, to which butter, suet, oatmeal anflouv were occasionally added, but iheibeing only one fire-place to cook thfood Of bttch a number, the latter del

windy and stormy nights to break cthe post grutings, when good swimmeiwho }K)**es«ed Bullicient strength to tudertake the task would quietly drop iito the water and make their way to tlshore. Numbers escaped in this way ttell their friends the sad story of the:sufferings and reveal the sadder fact <
the numbers who had died. Tn Decenbor, 17b0, a daring and successful e
cape was made from the Jersey by foiYankee captains. The best boat of tl:ship had returned from New York nboiI o'clock in the afternoon, and was car
lessly fastened at the gangway, with tloars on board. A storm prevailed, anthe wind blowing down the river prdueod an immense tide. At a given si|ual a party of the prisoners placed theeselves carelessly between the shipwaist and the sentinel while the foicaptains entered the boat, the fasteings of which were slipped by thefriends. The boat passed close und<the bow of the ship, aud was at a co:siderable distance from her before tlsentinel at the forecastle gave the alarHud tired at her. The second boat w
manned with much dispatch for a chose,but she pursued in vain. Shots were
j. fired froin the snip ana sharb WithotHeffect, the boat passing Hell-Gate in theevening and arriving at Connecticut the

to the Provost, and the remainder transl*ferred to the Jersey, wliich was used a.«

e when her inmates were liberated, ande she was henceforth shunned by all as f
!r nost of pestilence. The worms sooi
^ after destroyed her bottom, and sh<e sunk, bearing with her on her plaDkie the names of thousands of Americar^ prisoners. For more than twenty yeanU her ribs lay exposed at low water, and
she now lies buried beneath the Unitedg States Navy Yard.

£ remember with unpleasant distinctnes)n the first paper collar we ever wore
t- It was at a surprise party. A half horn* after the event of ourself and the othei
^ surprisers we were located in the parloion a mohair chair. And they were verj
a fresh and vigorous mohairs, too. Itwas our intention to have got in a cor
ner, but we missed the aim, and gel18 located within eighteen inches of tin£> stove. It was a large stove, with a comie plicated mass of perpendicular sheetF- iron pipes, like an organ, only it was
J warmer than an orpan. The store seiout from the wall, and our location gav(

^ store looking for lemons, bnt being i
diffident person, and having a strongd desire to crawl under the carpet, and bi10 out of sight, the prominence put t8- blight on our spirits that we found irar* possible to shftke off. It was quite cold7 out ooors, hut the room being full oid people, and some thoughtful pernor
Laving closed the door, the tempera0 tnre commenced to deusify with extra^0 ordinary rapidity. All of the party sal'» around the sides of the room, and itJ such a way as to take in the stove and
5 ourself. A dreadful silence sat upor7 all, disturbed only occasionally by £
brief whisper of one friend to another,e which undoubtedly referred to oui
proximity to the stove, and the weird,e solemnity of our expression, which vrt1* desperately but vainly strove to remedy,' We essayed once or twice to look inkd the faces of the company, but though!'® better of it, and picking out a place ir.® tho wall where the paper had been tort'* off, fell to studying it with all-absorb18 ing interest. The perspiration stood
out on our forehead in great drops, and3* having stood there until they got tired,0 the drops silently rolled down our face,,° We would have got out a handkerchiefM but we cherished the hope that somie one in the party was not looking at us,d and dreaded to make any movement foid fear of attracting his attention. Ther
the bergnmot and sweet oil with whicl-° we had generously fed our locks, witl'e a view to intoxicating the senses of tin
females in attendance, commenced t(11 ooze forth, ami start down the back ol~ our neck for fresh pastures.10 It was at this juncture, the heat or* the stove having become almost unbenrn able, that the lady of the house inquir
ed if the stove was not too warm for tin"e gentleman. It was our purpose to pron test that we never before were so comb fortftbly situated, but the roof of ou:d mouth having dried and cracked openn the words must have got lost in tin
crevices. But we smiled.such a smileb perhaps, as a sick man would cxehang*
with an undertaker, who had called ii18 to inquire after his health. It was a
this point we became conscious of ou3* paper collar. It was pressing agains
the back of our neck with the ardor ou a mustard draft, and one end had broki!y from the button and was soaring ma
jestically heavenward. We could feeit crumble and fall down on both sides
R» and every time wo put our hand np11 which we began to do quite often oi?' account of the cold thrill it gave us, w<0 found it spotted with the vitality o
that collar. The other people comit menced to whisper, and look up at tin
ceiling, and put their handkerchiefs iin their mouths. We thought of killiniie every one of them on the spot, amd hiding their bleeding remains in thJ* cellar; but we lacked the coolnes
necessary for such an undertaking, oi18 account of that infernul stove, and si
f* gave it up, and kept on smiling t<10 show our calmness. Suddenly, wheib in the midft of what was probably
most maniacal leer, the collar parted a
y the back, and one side dropped dowi10 noor, udu ixiu unitr swung uruuuu n
8 the front. A shriek of laughter burs10 from the compuuy, and we bolte<;e home. Seeing the advertisement of th
Daubury paper collar, manufactured b;ie Brainard, Davy Co., of Boston, re18 minded us of our first paper collar,d

I| The Great August Hurricane.( The Signal Office at Washington has
, compiled thb fSports nf the tremendous
11 storm of August 24, and it piefltct* ajtruly frightful exhibit. The report is
J made up from official data, the most reliablelog books and accurate sta-,
I tislicB. Jt 6ums up a total of one!thousand and tnirtt-tvro vessels known
' to have been destroyed during the 24th
[ and 25th of August in the Gulf of St. j{ Lawrence and around the coasts of
1 Nova Scotia, Cape Proton and Ncw,foundland. Ninety additional rebels\' were overwhelmed in the same tempestl before it reached Nova Scotia, will!65 six hundred lives were lost and nineI hundred buildings injured or demol|ifdicd by its force. The misery and
ruin entailed on thousands of NewEngland and Canadian fishermen andseamen by this single gale are almostincalculable, and they afford strong iniducements for the extension of the Sig,nal Service warnings to Canadian ports.Could the Vast fleets of merchant ves'sels that throflg the waters in which the
r August storm spent its fatal fury haver had premonition of its approach Hier majority might have escaped, and manyr
lives and much of the shipping havebeen saved,
k It aDuears that the trale in questionhad originated in much lower latitudes
t than those of Nova Scotia, and speed;ing on its way from the tropics northward, overswept the angular projectionof the Continent of which Nova Scotia,
j Cape Breton and Newfoundland are thet outlying islands. The prcmonishing of} snch gales, which strike from the Atilantic inshore, can only be insured byt! securing the earliest intelligence from
i vessels arriving at the Atlantic portsj and using them for purposes meteoro5logical predictions. The new arrangeimcnts for connecting the Signal OlSce
with the lighthouses and lightships offI the coast by telegraphic cable ought to,[ and probably will, facilitate such foreicasts, and open the way for their far
greater usefulness and accuracy. It iswith great pleasure we observe that one
t of the subjects under consideration ini the Vienna Meteorological Congress is1 how io connect maritime ana land meteiorology so as to enable the landsman toi utilize the mariners' observations at
sea and vice versa.
' A Little Octopus.In the aquarium notes of Land and
t Water, Henry Lee, an officer of thet Brighton Aquarium, presents addition[
al facts regarding the baby octopods.From Mr. Lee's letter we condense as
[ follows : " The young octopus, freshI from the egg, resembles more nearly
sepia without its tentacles tlinu an oc;topuB. The arms, which will after|wards be four or five times the length! of its body, are so rudimentary as to be' even shorter iu proportion than ther pedal arms of the cuttle-fish, and ap1
pear only as little conical excresences,1 having points of hair-like fineness, and1 arranged in the-form of an eight-rayed* coronet around the head. In itsjfoudI
ness for light, the young octopus differsfrom its parents, being not only willing,
. but apparently anxious, to display itsugliness in the best possible light;swimming about freely in the water,and often near the surface, it propels9 itself backward by a series of jerks,caused by projecting from its month aflue stream of water. It will be remernrbcred that the mother protected the
» eggs by means of the same forced cur9rents. This natural boldness lessenswith age, however, and the full-grown
L> octopus seeks a hiding place among the? crevices and mimic caves of the aquariumbed. Like the young squid, a lit£
tie octopus is very much smaller at its^ birth than a cuttle-fish. The latter is
as large when hatched as a rather small9 horse-bean, while the octopus is of
j about the size of a small flea.
The Yachting Season.t
i There is less chivalry among the New9 York yuclitmen than among the olden
knightB. For instance, the Dreadnaughte won the challenge cup fairly last fall,i By a strict construction of the rules of
j the yacht club, the winner of the chalelenge cup is bound to bo ready to sail
s a raeo whenever called upon to do so
a between the opening of the subsequentQ yachting season and the lfith of Octo3ber. The Dreadnaught just came iutou port from a recent race in so crippled a
a condition as to be unfit for sailing; audt the owner of the Enchantress took ad3vantage of the circumstance to send in
his demand for a race, together withj. the claim that both the challenge cupI and a SI,000 cup privately wagered0 shall belong to the winner. In view of
this f;iet that the Dreadnaught was
m really disabled, and notwithstandingthe protests and wishes of the membersof the Club, the owner of the Enchantressinsisted upon compliance with hischallenge, and notified the owner of the
s Dreadnaught of his intention to sailu over tire racing course, and thereafter
assert his claim to the two cups. This,too, in spite of the announcement that
i the challenged party will waiv<? hisi- right to refuse sailing ufter the datea fixed by tbe rules, and will be ready tor sail at any time utter his yacht can be>, repaired.r I -
e Fish Raising.. in iwu prxviiu! umiviiiuuitt ui
| Harrisburg, conceived the idea of stocki'ug the Susquehanna river with black»f bass from tlie Potomac. About $100h was collected for the purhcase of the
j tisti, and about 200 black bass were proHcured from the Potomac, by way of0 f Ilagcrstown, and were placed in the(| .Susquehanna, in the neighborhood of
Harrisburg and Dauphin. Since that^ period this splendid tish has increased
wonderfully in the river all about Hur^risburg, and they are caught everywlu:rein great numbers. Last week
j 100 were "landed" near Harrisburg by>r a young man, in a few djiys, durings leave of absence from bis w«rk. The)r average weight of the fish now naught
j. is from one to three and four pounds.' Thisstoeking of the Susquehanna withi black bass has been due solely to pri}r
vftfe enterprise, the State authoritieshaving done nothing toward securingthis result.
