We copy from the Salkhimj Watchman: Last year I cnltivated only ten acres ■with the t'oHowing results, viz: I gath ered 328 bushels of corn, 18 bushels ot wheat, 267 bushels of oats, 3 bales ot cotton, average 438 lbs. each. I also jiuule potatoes, peas and kershaws and fodder. The 207 busheks of oats were actually mW for setxl oats. At the late Fair 1 exhibited 12 cabbage, 204 Ib.s; 12turhips, 1311 lbs: 0 beets43lbs; ]2wliite California radishes, 15 to 22 inches long, White Naples onions, 4in- ches in dianieter. In 1875 I had 7 sicrcs of oats, and sold .525 bushels; 3 acres of corn, and sold 158 bushels; 5 acres of cotton, yielded 3 bales weigh ing 1500 lbs., also iiotatocs, fteas, jmmpkins, kershaws and fodder, &c., not counted. This year, 1877,1 havs 5 acres corn, 5 acres oats, 14 acres wheat, 34 acres in cotton. My oats have been gatlier«l, and I will .sell 400 bushels and keep seed for my next crop. What my corn will make the season alone will determine, the pros- l)ect now ]>oiuts to a good yield, say 300 to .350 bushels. Can’t say how nmch wlieat, it is not threshed, but looked fine when it was cut. 1 will ))lant potatoes and ]>eas this month on Illy stubble laud as usual. I And sowing jieas, 2 bushels to the acre, on my stubble laud, produces an immense idne crop, wliich turned un- iler enrielies the land yearly, iind I have been ])ursuing this plan with ro tating the crops annually for many yeiu'S. THE BIBEE ON EIAKS AND EYING. A poor man is better than a liar.—Prov. xix; 22. The Devil is a liar, and the father of it.—John viii: 44. The law is made for liars.—I. Tim. i: 10. All liars shall have their part in the lake that burnetii with fire and brimstone.—Rev. xxi: 8. He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.—Psalm ci: 7. He that spoaketh lies shall not escape.—Prov. xix; 5. A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness will utter lies. —Prov. xiv: 5. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds.—Col. iii: 9. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost ?—Acts v: 3. A clergyman, the other day in Indiana, ascending the pulpit on the Sabbath and saying, _ “No man can serve the Lord while he is suffering with the jumping toothache,” dismissed his audi ence at once. Kinstox, N. C., June 23, 1877. J. H. Mills, Su.p't. (Xrfnrcl Orphan Asy- Imn.—Dear !:iir and Bro.—To-day I went over to Ilookerton, Greene Co., to attend the Masonic Anniversary of St. John the Baptist. The day was lovely, and a pretty large crowd were in attendance. Kev. J. 1’. Simpson, of the Snow Hill circuit, N. C. Confer ence, M. E. Church, South, was the orator. His address was listened to with marked attention, and his reply to some ohjections in that eommunity, urged against Masonry, were just to the point; in fact, the whole di.scimrse .showed him to be a man of no ordina ry talent. After the address was over, the of- fleers of Jernsalein Lodge, No. 95, for the ensuing Masonic year, were in stalled by the writer. Thinking it a good time to remem ber the orphans, by permission of the W. M. I brought forward their claims in a few remarks, and took up a col lection, the result of which was $15, which I herewitli enclose. The servi ces being concluded at the church, the members of the Fraternity, together with the ladies and gentlemen present, reiiaired to a large oak grove near the Lodge, and partook of a regular old- fasliioiied Greene county barbecue, whicli, from the way it disappeared, was enjoyed highly. Many were sur prised at the amount contributed, ow'- ing to the scarcity of money. I tlTink they did what they eonld. May other eomniunities lo likewise. Fraternally, B. W. Best. B. S.—I also enclo.se $7.50 -whieh was contributed at the installation of the officers of Kinston Lodge, No. 316, making the whole amount enclosed $22.50. Dr. B. Craven, of Trinity College, delivered a Masonic address in the Methodist church at Kinston, on the occasion of the imstallation of the offi cers above alluded to. The church was llllcd, and well did the speaker sustain his reputation, for it was sure ly a sidendid address. IL W. B. BOYS AND GIRE8. We have on hand about a dozen boys and girls, small and spright ly, just such as childless couples might properly adopt. Persons wishing to adopt children are invited to come and see them, or correspond with us. tf THE PKOSPECT BRIGHT ENING. —One of the seven wonders of the world was the wall and hang ing gardens of Babylon. This ancient city was built on a square plain, surrounded by walls tiiree liundred and fifty feet high. This wall was eighty-seven feet thick ; on the top at regular distances from each other, were two hun dred and fifty towers; outside the wall was a very deep ditch, con stantly kept full of water. On the top of the walls was a row of houses on each side; and room for two chariots abreast in the middle. The King of Babylon caused the hanging gardens to be built for his Queen. The gardens were four hundred feet long , on each side, and rose by terraces to the height of the walls of the city. This enormous pile was sustained by arches placed one upon the other. On .the top of the arches were laid large flat stones, then a layer of reeds mixed with bitu men. On this were laid two rows of brick and plaster, then a layer of sheets of lead, and upon this the mould was passed. This mould was so deep that the largest trees could take firm root. In the upper terrace was a sort of engine or pump, which drew the water from the river below, and thus watered the gardens.—N. Y. Observer. It has become almost a habit to complain of hard times, and it may therefore be a long time yet before we cease to bear of them. But no one can fairly regard the prospect now presented without being impressed with the fact that the signs of the times are brighter than they have been for years, and that an - era of prosperity seems just before us. The crops of the whole country never prom ised to yield more abundantly, and in some states the yield will probably be more than doubly as large as ev'er before. Some of the more Southern States, that have never }’et produced one- fourth of their bread, last fall sowed large fields of surplus land in small grain, and for the first time in a number of j'ears, are independent of Western markets. At home here, with good seasons, the crops will be remunerative. Tobacco may be low, but a fine article will always bring a fair price. We are also favored with a season of profound quietude, with no disturbing element in politics to impede the investment of capital. All of these circumstances point unerringly to the dawn of a brighter and more prosperous sea son, in which the wait of hard times will become a dirge of the past, to be heard no more in our land. With industiy, prudence and economy, there is an abun dant prospect of a great change for the better in the condition of all our people.—Banbury Reporter. Any man who can swap horses, or catch fish and not lie about it, is just about as pious as men ever get in this world. Snake Bites.—Before the old Revolution, an old Indian gave to a man in Rowan county by the name of Beaver, on Cold Wa ter Creek, the following recipe for curing a snake bite, spider bite, or poison of any kind. Bea ver made the Indian test the mat ter by permitting a poisonous snake to bite him on his naked foot twice. He then spread some of his ointment on the wound, put on his shoes, went on with his work and experienced no fur ther trouble. Beaver kept it a secret for a long time; made and sold the ointment and made mon ey at it. It is very simple and ought to be widely known—one pound of fresh butter, free from salt, melt it, put in tlie yolks of three hen’s eggs, not the whites, stew till brown—then add the same quantity of sugar, as of the eggs, in fifteen minutes strain for use: spread it on the skin where the poison is as often as needful till a cure is effected. The man who gave this to the writer a few months ago, was in danger of having his leg amputa ted—now the surface is healed over, and the skin looks natural. He is ploughing every day. Keep it on hand.—Statesville American. The following persons ha\e paid for the Oktiians Ekiend for one year: Mis.s Maggie Tlioina.s, Alex Nicol, Caswell Chapter No. 38, Kinston □ No. 31(1, Mis.s Annie Kosentliall, Mrs. J F Jones. A judge out West, in reman ding a criminal, called him a scoundrel. The prisoner replied: “Sir, I am not so big a scoundrel as your honor—” here the culprit stopped, but finallj' added, “takes me to be.” “ Rut your words closer together,” said the judge, sharply.
