Dr. G. remarked that in this valley and throughout this prov- ince the anaconda attains an enormous size, Sometimes reaching forty feet in length; the largest which he saw measured thirty-seven feet, but was not alive. Ighad been taken under the following cireu tances: ‘Some weeks before our arrival af Sape.’’ writes Dr. G., “the favorite riding-horse ef Geiier Lago- sira, which bad been put out to pasture not far from the house, could not be found, although strict search was made for it all over the fazen- da. Shortly after this, one of his vaqucires (herdsmen,) in going through the wood by the side of’a small stream, saw an enormous sucu- ruju suspended in the fork of a tree which hung over the water. It was dead, but hed evi- dently been floated dowa alive by a recent flood, and being»in an inert state. it had not been able to extricate itself from the fork be- fore the waters fell. It was dragged out to the open country by two horses, Pi el found to measure 37 feet in length. On opening it, the bones of a horse in a somewhat broken condi- tion, and the flesh in a half digested state, were found within ; the bones of the head were un- injured. From these cireumstances we con- clude that the boa had swallowed the horse en- tire. In all kinds of snakes the capacity for swallowing is prodigious. I have often seen one not thicker than my thumb swallow a frog as large as my fist; and I once killed a rattle- snake, four feet long, aud of no great thicknesa, which had swaliowed not less than three large frogs. I have also seen a yery slender snake that frequents the roofs of houses. swallow an entire bat three times itsown thickness. If such be the case with these smaller kinds, it is not to be wondered at that one thirty-seven feet long should be able to swallow a horse, rticularly when it is ele that previous to ing so, it breaks the bones of the animal by ug itself around it, and afterwards lubri- cates it with a slimy matter, which it haa the power of secreting in its mouth.” Never Waitewasa Trees.—The orchardist should set his face like flint against all sorts of compositions that leave coating upon the hark, no matter what they are uor what is claimed forthem by charlatansorempirics. The arbori- culturist of Boston Common mado asad mistake iu coating those trees with some sort of composi- tion. of the consistency of paint. The objection to this treatment is, that it interferes with the functions of the epidermis. But, say the users of these compositions, they ars necessary for the destruction of insects. Aa well might they ad- Yoeate the whitewhashing of men, women and children, when infested with the inseets of the genus Pedioulus,in order to get rid of them, as that of painting or whitewhashing fruit or ornamental trees to rid them of apAtdes, habi- tants of their bark or outercovering. The trees grow and seem to flourish, notwithstanding this mistaken treatment, not because of it—it is no more evidence in favor of it—than the fact that some persons who seldom or never bathe, yet enjoyed good health, is against bathing and sur- face cleanliness in generally. There is no dan- ger of keeping fruit trees too clean, and thiscan be done with pure suft water, or if little soup be mixed with it, it may cause no harm. A good, and the safest wash for trees, is pure water. The tree or plant 1s enveloped with an epider- tais like an animal ; and for any one to say that this has no function to perfurm beyond that of covering the orgunism animated with life, as the envelope does the letter, is to publish his ig- norance of vegetable physiology. The condition of the covering of the animal is deemod some- wha: essential to the state or condition of the animal—so of the tree, its bark or covering is indicative of the healthful vigor of the tree, or of its opposite condition. Any one at all ac- quanted with fruit trees, whether from a knowl- edge of long cultivated or long observation, is prepared to judge of the condition of anerchard or gurden of fruit or other trees, by looking at the condition of the bark. Tae Dereuu 4NGB.’’—On the morn- ing after the Bowery Bank had closed its doors, one of our German citizens possessing a $5 bill of its issue, went into one of our large furniture establishments and purchased article amounting to » and proffered his bill in sment. The boy clerk refused it, but the utehman insisted that all was right, say- “Ltis goot; the pank will open; deres lot of beeples dere ; bank is opening already.” Still, the clerk ted in refusing to take the bill. The proprietor hearing the discussion putin his oar, and the German went through with his former lingo. Knowing that the bills are well secured against loss to the holders, he of course accepted the bill and offered as change a coe of a dollar in specie and a two dollar bill on the same bank. The German was taken back for a moment, but finally said : * Ich no take dat.”’ “ But you must take this, or the ono you gave me is bad ;"* said the merehant * [ don’t know as the bank ia good as it ras,”’ said Diedrich. “Well. you must take this bill or trade it outin these small chairs,"’ pointing to some juvenile affairs with peculiar seats, said the furniture dealer. “Vell, [dink I'll dake the shairs;"’ and he took them “THERE'S MANY A Sip, since, a clergyman of this city was invited to the house of a friend to take tea where he meta num- ber of others.

Conk Manxvractuaes.— Many persons see @>ks used daily, without knowing whence come tuose useful materials. Corks ace cut from large | slabs of the cork tree, a species of oak, which | grows wild in the southern countries of Europe. The tree is stripped of its bark at about sixteen years old; but before stripping it off, the tree is not cut down, as is the case with the oak. {t is taken while the tree is growing, and the opera- tion inay be repeated every eight or nine years— | the quality of the bark continuing each time to improve as the ave of the tree increases. When the bark fs taken off, it is singed in the flames of ast fire, and being soaked for a considerable time in water, it is placed under heavy weights, in order to render it straight. Its extreme light- ness, the ease with which it can be compressed, and its elasticity, are pr erties so peculiar to this substance, that no efficient substitute for it has been discovered.
