Notes from 1he Scrap Book of an Old Physician of Greenville Conn* ty. The Trsihman?Game Chickens and Lamper Eels. A raw Irishman, many years ago, emigrated and settled in this section of country. It was a common custom, at that day and time, to breed and raise game chickens tor the sport ot the pit. The Hibernian was greatly pleased with the sport, and resolved on having stock of liis own to pit against all other game of the country. To this end, ho procured a setting of eggs from a party who was represented to have the best slock in the country. The party to whom he applied, for the tun and amusement that would most likely grow out of the application, furnished him with a setting of duck eggs instead of gamo chickens. The Irishman, on the hatching, was in ecstacies of iov and delight at the appearance of hie game stock, and called in histriends and neighbors to look at them. u Behold," said lie, " what a large and broad biU they have? they can bite, and tear all other till pieces; look at what a broad ana fiat foot they have: bejabers all kingdom come could not trip thein vp /" Suffice to say that he fed and I raised his gamesters to full and mature age, ready, as he conceived, for tlie sport of the pit. On a certain day, a time was fixed for the assembling ot all who had fighting game stock, at a public placo, to enter their stock and pay the entrance fee to contend for the handsome purse made np for the winner of the prizo. Onr Hibernian friend, with tho multitude of contestants, entered his stock, paying the required lee. On loosing them, however, in place of.tho pit, they made for a pool of waior near by, and put up the tone of?quack, quack, diving and playing in the water, to no little amusement of the crowd at the expense of the Irishman. He, however, with that wit and astuteness, common to this noble . race, replied : " Bejabers my fowls are navy fighter*?brincr on your land lubbers and I will fight the ring for the prise." On an other occasion onr Hibernian friend, when on a branch near his place, not long after his settling in this conntry. discovered a watermoccasin in the branch. Supposing it to be a lam per eel, loch as ia common in the water* of Ireland, gathered it by the bnok of the neck and oarrled it to Uio house. The family told him thftt it was a very poisonous and -dan* gcrous snake, and. t;>at if it bit him he would be id danger of losing his life. His answer waa; 44 Bejabers what is the danger, when I have been toM by all yon Americans, that if 1 had my boot! on, there would not be much danger in snakee biting, at4 yon see I have them on."

As he approached his own door a bright child's face peeped out between the curtains, and as Mr/' Terryn entered the cheery sittingroom, he could not but think with a remorseless pang of the shivering bundle of rags under the brick arch way beyond.

This agriculturist had g< hold of an idea, which was, tut be could, bv continually pulverii ing the soil, render the particle io fine that they would pas hrough the pores of the roots an< inter into 1 ho structure of the plant ina to us do away with the ueces iity of manuring. It is not neces >ary to point out hero the absurd ty of such a notion, as every on cnows that the substances, extrac ed by plants from the soil are i lie form of fluid ; but yet the pra< ;ice which it gave rise to was in reat measure sound. lie obtain id crops without manure in th >eti6e in which it ^generally used ind yet not without manure in < cicntific sense, for he manured hi and from the atmosphere. Tin ilan ho adopted was to prepan ho whole field by.thoroughly dig ;ing and forking it. Hie wliea eaa then dibbled in, in rows o liree together, each row being om dot apart; then a Bpace of threi eet was left without anything ilanted in it, and then three raort owe, and so on. As soon as tin rhcat was up, the one-foot space* etween the rows were forked ovci epeatedly with a fork about si) nches wide, so that it did no ome nearer than three inches tc ho wheat, which destroyed all tin reeds, and allowed the air to pen trate to the roots. The three fee paces were treated the same a allows, and were thoroughly turn id every way, and exposed to tin lir up to the time when the wliea net over the three-feet intervals Vfter the crop was cnt, the three eat fallowed spaces were dibblet nth wheat, and the part whicl lore the wheat in its turn remain d fallow. Tliis will show how necessary it 3 to subject land to a proper work ug, and that when persons heai lie frequent admonition to drain ig deep and often, and they ncg uct the injunction, they incur t nore serious loss than they maj ,t first imagine. Tiik Action of Lime on Sou, vnd Plants?The action of lime i wofold ; first physical, and sccom jbemical. As a mechanical cgeti t opens stiff clays, rendering then riaole, mellow and more easil vorked ; chemically, it acts npoi he vegetable matter of the soil an< ets free those stores of valaal>l< ubstnnces which, without the ac ion of this agent, must havo re nained inert and useless. It als< nters directly into the composi ion of plants, and in many varie ic8 forms a large proportion of tin rcight of their inorganic constitu i)ts. It neutralizes certain acid ihicli aro often present in soils endering them useful to vcgcta ion instead of being positively in urions, which they are in thci original state. The oxistonce o rater in the soil, however, affect he action of lime verv considera >ly. If the land is wet and tin trained, lime will not exert tin nine influence it would do in tin ase of thoroughly drained laud V greater quantity of lime is nec seary to produce a given effect nd thus tho neglect of thorongl Irainngo entails a considerable renter expenditure in liming han would have been necessary, i he land was either naturally o rtificiully dry.

Those - who are mo6t associated with wo-1 t men of virtue and understanding, s will be always found the most l amiable characters. Such society, j beyond everything else, rules oft' t the protrusions that give to many t. an ungracious roughness; it proi duces a polish more perfect and 1 more pleaaing than that which is i received from a general commerce with the world. This last is often spacious, but commonly superfi; cial ; theothcr'isthe result of gent ler feelings and a more elegant hnr manity; the heart itself is mould , ed, and habits ot undisscinblcd courtesy arc formed.

A lover 1 could then toll whether his love e weighed 100, 80 or 75 pounds; - could tell at a glance what sho was. But now they could not tell wheth> cr the girl was made by the dress maker or by God; they looked 1 her over, and were not sure she 2 was not half c tton ; touched her - head, and didn't know whether s they fe!t nature's lurir or a a mus ty wateifall.
