FRUIT GARDEN.

Pinery.—Those plants which were placed in their winter
quarters at the time of potting will probably require an addi-
tion of fresh tan between the pots, where they were only
partially plunged; and if the plants are far distant from the
glass, it will be well to raise them at the same time.
Vinery.—During the dull damp weather, a little fire should
be made every morning, so as to slightly warm the flues of
the houses containing ripe grapes, giving air at the same time ;
the fruit should be closely examined frequently, as one bad
• berry will, in a short time, spoil the bunch.
Peach-house.—lf the lights are still off any of the early
houses, it will now be necessary to get them on ; indeed, it
is advisable to have the lights on all the houses before bad
weather sets in. All the air possible should be given.
Proceed with the planting of fruit trees; spread the roots
out carefully, and close the soil above them with the hand ;
never shake the tree up and down, as is sometimes done, as
it disarranges the roots very materially. Root-prune fruit
trees where they are growing very luxuriantly, or take them
entirelyas up and replant them. Gather any remaining fruits,
such s quinces, medlars, walnuts, &c.

in this department free from insects ; every opportunity
should be taken advantage of, when out-door work cannot

ADVANTAGE OF BF.FRIENDING A NEIGHBOUR.-101811
George Wilson, of Biddick, in this county, emigrated to
North America, having previously borrowed 20s. from Thos.
Robson, a neighbour, to assist him in effecting that
object,
under a promise to remember him if ever he had it in his
power. Robson was then a banksman ; but he has lately
been employed pumping water in Cassop pit. On. Monday
week he received a letter from the executors of
in-
forming him that he had recently died at Philadelphia, 'United
States, and bequeathed him money and property to the value
of about £7,000 ! The party who has reaped this ample re-
turn for ins generosity, is now about 70 years of age ; but—
lucky woman !--about half a year ago he married a female
not more than 40.—Durham Chronicle.

GRAMMAR Scitoots.—By the 3rd and 4th Victoria, cap.
77, it is thus provided :—"\7l hereas in Grammar schools the
term' Grammar' has been construed to have reference only
to dead languages, Greek and Latin, and such schools hav-
ing ceased to afford a substantial fulfilment of the intentions
of the founders, courts of equity shall be empowered to make
orders, extending the system of education to other useful
branches of literature and science, in addition to the Greek
and Latin languages, and the right of admission into any
school, and to establish schemes for the application of its
revenues ; any special visitor to he heard on the matters in
question previous to the making such orders. The present
schoolmasters are hot to be affected, but to be at liberty to
resign on receiving such Pension as shall seem reasonable
to The goys-pers."
