Curing Hay. The question of whether hay could not he cured by other than the common and often d structiio method now in vogue is being closely investigated by the experts and farmers of England- The old nnd original method was to let the grass first get well ripened, then cut it with thte reaping hook or scythe, turn it frequently with the fork to dry or rijien in the sun and the next day put it in cocks. After a few days make the whol ’into stacks or ricks, yir put it in the barn. ' * After this came mowing machines, horse-t akes, teddefs,self-loading wagons ami hay-forks, and tackling for unload ing and placing the hay in the barn or ricks. Under thc.firstsys em there was often heavy losa and always some injury from exposing the grass to long to the weather, which could not always be de- p nded upon. Modern applian esh ve materially hasten d the process o.' get ting the hay cured and in the barn, hut with continuous wet weather there is still much risk that should if poss hie be avoided. To overcome this troub’e many experiments otj now under trial with more o le^s success. One method proposed is to stock the grass while per fectly green, with considerable layers of straw between layers of the grass, with an open passage in the center of the stack for the moisture to pass nut.

National of the Redstone branch The opening of the Pittsburgh, Virginia & Charles ton Railroad marks a st li further decline in the famous old National turnpike from Cumberland to Wheeling. “An act to regulate the laying out and mak ing a road from Cumberland, Md , to the State of Ohio,” became a law in 1806, and the first stage-coach carrying the United States matte over that route made its first trip on August 1, 1818. The distance was one hundred and thir ty miles and the total cost of construct ing this great highway acHss the Alle- ghanFes was $1,700,000, Mts Are flic soon became enormous, and inns to accommodate the traveling public sprang up so thickly along its line that tney were said te average two to smile. The pike was Vdmiraoly obstructed, but th> heavy traffic which demon strated its necessity put H Hffi need of frequent repairs, and the Government finally turned it over te tto States of Pennsylvania Maryland and Ohio, and they established toll gates to pay for its maintenance.

The quartz attached to it was crystallized, and would not exceed three pounds in weight. We got it in the cabin as quick as possible, in a sack, and placed it unoer one of the bunks, intending to ex amine it more thoroughly at night. We staid away from town on Satur day and Sunday, and brought it out at night to feast our eyes upon it again, and each guessed it Would weigh at least two hundred pounds. We con cluded not to take it to town to wei^h, but divide it some way; for if it were .known there would be intense excite ment We had gold scales, but tlmy would only weigh only one and a half pounds.

Owen Doraey before the American Amociation, notices some remarkable customs in relation to marriage and kin ship aa prevailing among the Dhegitha Indians, particularly tto Omalias aad Poncas. When a tribe is banting it camps, by aivln or nations, in a circle, each gens bearing the name of some animal. All the members of one gens are relatives, and marriage between members of one gens te absolutely forbidden. Member ship in a gens is by deeoent in the male line, not in the female. The relations of a man are denoted by colon; for example—black, grandfather or grand mother ; blue, father or mother. His connections are denoted by mixed odors, such ss pink head and skirt, with light- bine triangle on the body, for sister-in- law. A man can marry his brother’s widow, aad her chihlren call him father even before their father’s death. His sister’s children are only nephews and nieces. Hi* mother’s sister is always called mother for tije same, reason, and even bis paternal grandfather’s brother’s’ ■on te bis father. These, and many other distinctions, show that the terms of relatiopahip are far moes ous and complicated with tto Oma ha* than xfith ua. A marry any woman belonging to an other gens, whether eooneotod with hns or not; though tmunag^ into his motfe •r’s geis is also forbidden.
