Desiring to, convert arable Itwd into pasture, he did not bow grass seeds, bit with a cnachiee, made by Meesrs. Howard, of Bedford, he cat ropes of sod two ioches wide out of an old pasture. Theae ropes wore carted to 'the field that was to be converted, were bn ken into pieces about two inches in souttre, and were then placed of surface the rows oh insular chiland women the ground by dren, who gave each piece a plight aqucezi with their foot after iayin;; it. .The rows are marked by tthe coulters of an empty corn-dridrawn over the land; and, after the inoculation is finished, the field xay be rolled whenever necessary. It was in November, 1873, that the first fljld wtis thus treated. Uy the following Autumn it wis completely covered with grass, and "was nearly as U vtd and good as old grass land;" and in the second year was "fit for grazing." And as regards the pasture from which the ropes had been cut, we are told that "after the first year the gaps in the turf are scarcely perceptible.'1 Thus, the tendency ot grass to spread and fill up bare places has beea turned to profitable account. The subject is not new, nor is this the first time that it has been in these pages; but the making use of such small pieces of sod to inoculate the land is new. There is no filling off experienced in the third, .fourth, or fifth year, at least to the same extent as when land is laid dowa to pasture with aitificial Chambers' Journal. grasses ll -- mcn-tiose- d A Colorado Avalanche. the Deimr Tribune J At an early hour on Friday morn ing last the denizens of Alpine street Frora which runs parallel with Republican mountain, were aroused by the omi nous tumbling of rock far up the mountain side, and ere the first ecbees had died away a fearful sight met the gaxe of the terrified crowd "who stood riveted, as it were, to the ground in speechless awe, not know ing which way to turn.

The assistant f poke very highly of Miss Chapman as a teacher, and remarked incidentally, that her uniform patience and kindness in the treatment of the children under her care, had often been a subject of notice among her associates.

The man's name was Dun can, and Nitshill was the scene of the occurrence. The man was in stantly blown to atoms, and a hole made in the street three feet deep by two and a half wide big enough for a baby's grave. His motive appears to have been chagrin at gossip, and a to desire his name connect perhaps with some act which would fill the neighborhood rather with dread than contempt.
