CwaieslTiLs or In* South.?It it very surprising, says a lato writer, that two of the great vat natural curiosities iu tho world are iu the United States, and scarcely known to the best informed of our geographers and naturalists: the one u is a beautiful tali in Franklin, Habersham county, 4 Georgia; the other, a stupendous precipice in Pen- ? dleton d strict, South Carolina. They are both faintly mentioned in the lato edition of Moore's Go- 11 ography, but not as they merit. Tuccoa Foil is C much higher than tho Niuguro. The column of t water is propelled beautifully over a perpeudicular j roek, and wheu tho stream is full, it (Kisses down without being broken. All the prismatic effect seen at Niagara fails short of the spray of Tuccoa. c The Table Mountain iu Peiulletou distr ct is an aw- f ful precipice of nine hundred feet. Many persons reside within five, seven, or tea miles of this grnnd spectacle, who never had the curiosity to visit it. It is now visited by curious travelers, and sometimes by men of science. & On tho Calawlia, hi Ilutotourt county, Virginia, t there is said to be a spring that ebbs and flows with c the tides of tho ocean. It is situated at the head ol j a ravine, which is flanked hy two parallel ridges terminating in n mountain of considerable clcva r tion. A hunter of the neighborhood has the honor I of its discovery. He had killed n deer on the spot, c and was proceeding to skin it, when the spring, | which till this moment had been invisible, came pouring forth n torrent at his very feet. Not 1 knowing what should next take plaec, ho left his h game, and fled with nil speed to the nearest settler. I In the course of a few hours, or perhaps a day, they ventured back, found the spring dry, hut, before their departure, saw it again flow nud ebb. un- . til it was no longer seen.

For example, you walk ,, very fast to get to tho railroad station, or J, to the ferry, or to catch an omnibus, or to ; c make lime for an appointment; your mind . , being ahead of you, tho body makes an v over effort to keep up with it; and when j, you get to the desired spot, you raise your | t hat and timl yourself in a perspiration.

Or, t it may be, you meet a friend at a street cor- j n ner, who wanted a loan, and was quite t, complimentary, almost loving; you did not 1 e like to be rude in the delivery of a two-let- t tered monosyllable, and while you were ' c contriving to be truthful, polite and safe, jj all at the same time, on comes the ? chilly feeling from a raw wind at the street c corner, or the slush of mud and water in ,, which, for the first time, you noticed yourself standing. u After any kiud of exercise, do not stand n a moment at a street comer for anything; c nor at an open door or window.

Wo learn that on tSnturday night, Mr. Josiah Montgomery, one of the city police, iwallowed fourgrains of strychnine, mistaking it for a powder that had been prepared ror an opiate which bad been prescribed, l'be dose was a largo one, containing ten times tho amount necessary to cause the .loath of a man or an animal, lie ttnmeliately discovered his mistake, and ran iulo Dr. Swiuburc's, a few doers distant, where ho procured an einetic. Dr. S. was unwell, but prescribed for him, and after l?is return homo gavo a second eiuetic. Dr. Illy was sent for. Two large emetics, takeu iu pretty quick succession, failed to causo vomiting. When Dr. IMy arrived, twenty minutes after tho poison was taken, the patient lay upon the floor, on his back, and was convulsed constantly with the severest form of tetanic spasms, and at times his whole muscular system was rigid, and lie lay in the opisthotonos position, resting upon his head and hi* heels, wifh the body raised clear from tho floor in the fonn of an arch. Several of these '.erriblo spasms oc curred in the space of a minute. His jaws were firmly locked, so that ho could not swallow, and it was impossible to open bis mouth to administer remedies. Tho approach of anything toward his mouth caused a recurrence of the spasms. Dr. Bly applied chloroform, which rolievcd the spasms in about three minutes, and stopped ihcm completely in ten minutes, when a third powerful cinetic was given. If the chloroform application was remitted, the spasms instantly returned in full force; so that it was found necessary to keep the patient constantly under the influence of the anaesthetic. In about fen minutes after the Lhird emetic was taken, vomiting was produced. Drs. Ely, Armstrong, and Moore had nrriveJ at this time. Warm water was uow given in large quantities, and thrown offthe stomach as often as a sufficient quantity was drunk, uulil it was believed that the stomach was cleansed of the poison remaining iu it. The assisting physicians then left the ca>e with Dr. Bly. The chloroform WHS still ndininiatAPoft nn.l iI.a r.? tieut was kept under its effects until 5 o'clock Sunday morning, when the spasms were almost entirely broken up, and at 6 o'clock they ceased entirely. During the lime that the spasmodic action was controlled by the chloroform, U?a system had opportunity to throw off the poison that had been taken up by tbo absorbents, and when that was effected the patient was out of danger. He had retained his consciousness during the whole of the period that he suffered from the effects of the poison. Ho was, at 10 o'clock yesterday, in a comforla b!c state, with a clear mind and a good pulse. Tlio first decided symptom of returning ease occurred at 3 o clock a. m., when tho patient roquested a chew of tobacco. in which he was indulged. This case is one of a very remarkable character. It has never before been known that a pcison who had swallowed even a grain of strychnine recovered from its effects. A full statement of the case will, no doubt, l>e given for the benefit of the profession in the medical journals. [Zta-Ac-jf/er Democrat. Pbotkction fkom Liohtxi.no. The Now York Journal of Commerce contains a communication from Mr. John K. Collins upon the subject of casualties by lightning, arguing to show that barns in or near which manure heaps or newly gathored crops are feimenting are much more frequently struck by hghliiiug than are all other buildings put together. As a protec lion to bouses, it has been recommended that they be ventilated before and closed duiing the tempest, that lightning might uol be attracted by the ascending vapor. That vapor ascending by day and not bv night rendered buildings safer during a : tempest by night than l>y day. The writer says thai r>t'eight or ten casualties by lightning, in New York and the adjoining towns, all have occurred in the day liino, and all, with one exception, have been ' barns with manure heaps fermenting near 1 them, and iu which several horses have been killed, standing of courso near these manure heaps. The excepted building was a saw-mill, beside which lay fermenting saw-dust and chip dung of years' accumu- i lalion, and some of recent origin, ami U| on which rub\>i:<h was piled to near half the height of tho building. The lightning struck opposite the rubbish, and a large p rtion passed out near it.

By mentis of a few drops of ether, he attaches a small cone of juin guaiacum to a highly healed silver capsule. As soon as tho cone reddens cm the summit, one or two grammes i i>f water are dri pped into the capsule, aud a rcmatkable effect takes place.

The Mobile correspondent of tbe Cbarieaton Courier gives tbe following as of recent occurrence iu that city: We had quite a bit of romance some few days since. A young and h.indscme Englishman, a book keeper in one of our largest wholesale furniture stores, became dec* peiatcly enamored with A bright eyed beauty of Havana, who had just SnUbed her education at our convent. She was waiting, gith her ma, for the next trip of the Quaker City, to go home. They met, aud alas, loved. The ma suspected nothing for some time; at last she began to think something was going on, and die thought best uot to allow her daughter to see him any more. She did ao, and Ml went on well until one day, what should the thick headed servant girl do but hand her u letter, through mistake. This of course opened her eyes, and tbe consequence was Miss next morning ^woke in convent. Our young lover was taken aback, and what to do was the question. He concluded to get public sympathy, and to obtain this, ho busied himself in reporting that the fair damsel was imprisoned in a room or cell, and not only the broad field and green trees, but even tbe kght of heaven, was shut from her, and biead and water was all the luxuries she had. JMadamo liuinor says that a few r/entlmien went out to see her. They found her not in the cell, but sporting gajly among the giila who had been her companions for eight years. As soon as he hs>ard that some one had gone out, he spread the report that he was at the head of it, and that a number of Know-nothings was ready to start at any moment and pull the convent down. This coming to tho ears of our Mayor of Mayors, caused the arrest of our friend, and next morning be was requested to give bonds ior his good behavior. Thus tbe matter still stands, and his expectations for $260,000, I think, aro slim. Wheat and its Enkmiks.?When tbe enemies of the wheat crop are so prevalent, with a piospect of increase, let our friends lake a few timely hints. There ia no kn?wn remedy for the depredations for fly, chinchbug, joint-worm, Ac.; but we think experience will bear witness that there ia a grand preventive in good cultivation. A vigorous and thriftv rrrowth ?nroi??fullw when the most promising appliances are powerless before, their ravage*. And not only so, but throughout nature it will be found that where there is least power of resistance, the subtlo enemy is most likely to make his attacks. It is not the sound and healthy, thoso who have enioyed wholesome atmosphere and good mod, who are swept ott* by epidemics, but those whose constitutions, enfeebled by any cause, pre dispose them, as we aptly say, to disease. The sleek and well-kept aniuial is not troubled with lice, when they swarm upon the ill fed, "ill-conditioned" beast. And the enemies of piauts seek their food upon the poor and sickly, where they find as it were the least resistance against their encroachments. The principle is universal, that "from him that bath not shall be takeu away that which he hath." Hut however this reasoning may be questioned, the philosophy of asouud, vigorous, healthy constitution for man, beast, or plant, as a safeguard against all natural euemies, no ouo will question. For the wheat plant, then, begin in time, and make the most thorough preparation for its reception. So get ready the ground, that it may do the very best of which it is capable. To thoss who plough deep, and aim to deepen their surface soil at every ploughing, we suggest that some judicious fanners, who would plough deep generally, think it not advisnhie for tho wheat crop. We adopt the opinion to this extent, that we do not think a portion of fresh subsoil should he now uiuugiu iu nit? burince. j no natural range of llie roots of wheat is within about throe inches of the roots of whoAt is within about three inches ot the surface, and for that reason it is desirable to have there the richest portion of the soil. ^ As to manures, he who properly usea ait other means of success should put otk enough to secure him thirty bushels to tho acre. The nearer ho approximates that point, the less liable is his crop to suffer from its natural foes. Knrly seeding is a point of great importance. A good grow th of root in the fall preserves from winter killing. The plant having well withstood the winter, is prepared for an early, vigorous start in the spring. This enables it to resist and out* grow the attack of fly and other insects. And the esrly ripening is almost an insui? ance against rust. Where it is practicable^ we should sow by the Inst of September. The only objection to early sowing is, that the crop is rnoro liable to the fall attack of the fly. This objection seems in practice to bo far outweighed by the advantage* on the other side. Another important point is that of good, plump, well-ripened seed, of a hatdv and early ripening variety.?American Farmer* Stray ki>.?Broke into the pocket of tho editor of this paper, a ten cent piece.
