Gazette: The following is, in substance, what has been taught to every class since my connec tion with the Agricultural College; I sim ply quote from the text-book which I use in school: "It (rust) is now admitted by all scientists to 1 e a microscopic fungus, to which the e Puccinia graminas has been given. e Stoma on a straw will produce twenty to forty fungi, and each of , it is believe.!, will produce at least one hundred spores or reproductive particles, 80 that the -progeny of a single stoma will be enough to infect a whole plant. "Farmers in England affirm that wheat, sown in the neighborhood of the barberry bush, seldom escapes the blight, as it is sup posed that the spores are generated and pre served on these bushes." I have some reason to think that ash trees set in a similar way. The following remark is worthy of notice, and may be useful to farmers: "It is believed that the spores may be perpetuated from undecorrprised straw, car ried out into the field as manure." If this be true, farmers should be careful in this matter, as well as in destroying all grasses in fields producing rust. I publish this became I have been re quested to do so. B. L. Arnold. SEA-BATHINQ-He had returned with his wife from' a summer vacation at the seaside, and stoo I in front of the house giving a friend a graph ic account of the season's pleasures. Went in bathing every day," he exclaim ed enthusiastically. " Ah ! " responded the friend. " Wife go in too ? " "Oh, yes, every day," said the returned vacationist. " Can she swim ? " queried the friend, with some interest. " No, she cau't," was the reply. " She tried and tried to learn, but somehow she didn't get the bang of it. She said she couldn't get the right kick, and I let her think that was the reason, but the fact was " and here he looked up at the house and sunk his voice to a hoars as piration " the fact was she could not keep her mouth closed long enough to take four strokes before she'd have some sidy remark to make, when kerswash she'd swallow a whole wave and go plump to the bottom," and the husband winked rapidly as the scene was recalled to his mind, and went in to the house chuckling with pleasure. But he hain't noticed a woman's face peering out of the curtains of a raised window. The acquaintance saw the front door open quickly, saw a hand reach out and grab the seaside boarder by the collar, saw the heels of that individual crack his back as he shot through the door which slammed behind his vanished form, heard a wild, stifled noise, as of a human body b ing hauled over a hat rack and banned against the wall, and heard a muffled voice like unto that of an enraged woman, say: "Take that back and I'll let you up, you wall-eyed yahoo !" And the acquaintance, with a countenance of wonder and alarm, passed on. 8TATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE The next session of this shool will begin on Monday, .September I, 1879.

Policeman Miller overhauled him at the Vincent House, and when invited to take a littie stroll around to the calaboose, he became indignant and attempted to prac tice the handy work of his craft on the head of the officer; but failing to eliect a release by harsh measurers, he quietly retired to rest for the night in the guest's chamber at the city jail. Next morning, by special re quest, he interviewed his honor, Recorder Bryson, and was requested by that gentle man to make a donation of $13 toward de fraying the incidental expenses of the city, but being financially embarrassed, declined complying with this request, and now lan guishes in the city jail for six days. Fine Nursery. While at Newport last week we visited the nursery of Ed. C. Pnelps, near that place, and were surprised to find so fine a collection of fruit and orna mental trees ; bat when we visited the con servatory connected with it, our surprise gave way to admiration. We will nut at tempt to give the different varieties, or any part of them, but simply state that the col lection embraces the most extensive variety we have seen for a long time.

If you are troubled with nervousness are disheartened tired of life, fear death or feel out of sorts as the saying is, you may safely conclude that you h ive the Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt to become torpid this season of the year as poisons arising from Btagnsnt water or decaying vegetation are more numerous and are through inhalation taken into the blood. Unless the liver is strong and active and furnishes a supply of fres'ii and pure blood to drive out the impurities, the above mentioned symtoms surely follow, and if not heeded, end in more terrible diseases and death. White's Prairie b lower proves itself the Great Liver Panacea. Its action on the liver is different from any medicine ever compounded. Its cures are truely won derful. Try it.
