THE WHITE HOUSE.

If u Washington correspondent Ct the New

White House has hard time Of it. He says
''thc daily scenes at the White i!ous are humil-

character. The President has no rest. He is
best, ON all sides lie is annoyed, Till dixie Sen
ator Mcrrck while debating the posl-occ blIl
he scarcely knows whether he stands on his
head or his heels. Between the ms and the
'onts' he is tormentod as by evil spirits. His
emaciaied and anXouS!y pleading appearance
woa!d excite your pity. lie is reduced to the
SHADOW of shade. His hollow cheeks, lis
bloodlcss complexion, appeal to the i1rocions
corlnorants for Office to drslst. But they will
not desist; in which case we would advise Cap

goes home and ceases to torment him, us tie SUI

The boys OF this town are attaining an unen-
viab!c notoriety for their mscheyous propensi-
ties. Now we are notof those who hold that
boys should dcrort themselves with all the s!ea-
d. soberness ofaged men, or that it is possible
for them to do so; on the contrary, we love to
see them enjoy themselves in innocent sport; We
glory in good open-taced romping fellows, who
abound in fun and froiic, but we do dctcsl and
abominatc all il-bred and impudent scamps who
enjoy no sport that does not vex or inure Others,
and who are all the time disturbing meetings,
saucing persons in the street, or committing
some kind Interpretation. We do hope all such
boys will try and correct their bad hab its; pco-
pie would think much more Of them then. and
they would put themselves in the way to be-
come respectable men and good citizens. On
tile contrary if they persist in doing wrong, they
Will eventually be apt to disgrace themselves
and their friends. Most parents in this town pa y

PRUNING.

The warm weather reminds us that we have
something to say about pruning, which we shall
DO in 4 general way. Oftrees bearing fruit up.

| branches arc not to be shortened, but where ne
! ceSsary, they must be taken out at their juno
ton with Other branches stems close up, leav-
ing no stump. All trees bearing fruit upon the
stem or branch, without spurs, may have their
branches shortened, as for instance the peach.
As a general rule, take out all the riders, III
growing branches or branches closely over hang
! ing each other Pruno in ouch manner shat the
remaining branches may as nearly as possible,
spread horizontal y-risng above one another in
succession of layers, at the distance of some
feet, one above the other This may be follow
cd with regard to the apple tree, but in the plum
tree smaller distance between the branches
will be better, while the branches of the peach
and pear should be more upright.

known By his tools.
When trees are pruned they have tendency
TO sucker. Soft soaping will enable them TO
split their hides, expand their trunks, and in a
great measure overcome this tendency. Young
suckers, when in place, become good limbs if
properly taken care Of. Such as fill up vacan-

have no soft soap on hand, you must have re-
course to SCORING; which is done by cutting the
