Timely Hints.

Many cultivators, who devote fair pro-
portion of their attention to their fruit trees
in spring, forget and almost wholly neglect
them at midsummer. To such we would
briefly suggest the Importance of keeping a
constant eye to them, in order to preserve
them in good cultivation, and to prevent
disaster from disease or the attacks of ene-
mics. A tree will not thrive, unless it is
widely and deeply spaded about, or other
wise kept with clean and mellow SOIL
For newly transplanted trees, mulching, or
covering heartily with straw or other litter,
is of great Importance in the hot season.
On dry soils, the fruit of the raspberry is
greatly benefited by mulching. With
gooseberries, deep littering is indispensi.
Bile.
If the blGck.knOt should makeits appear
ance on the plum, all the affected parts
should be Immediately cut off and burned.
This, if repeated when necessary, will keep
the trees clear of the evil The labor of
watching and cutting. will not be tenth
part as much as every gardener willingly
deVotes to the cultivation of crop of cab
bages. Pear trees affected with the blight
are to be similarly treated.
Newly transplanted trees, with tall make
stems, are often injured by the hot sun
striking upon them, especially at points
which happen to incline from its rays
They may be protected by two narrow
boards nailed together, so as to enclose the
trunk of the tree in the angle. Stiff white
paper wrapped loosely around and tied with
twlne, serves good purpose.-Ab Cuk

Women in the Fields.

The paragraph which we copy below
from the editorial correspondence of the
Tribune, forms a curious contrast with the
customs of this country u
" | think ] saw quite as many women as
men at work in the fields throug bout Savoy.
A girl of fourteen driving yoke of oxen
attached to cart, walking barefoot beside
the team and plying the goadstick, while
boy OF her own age lay at length in the
cart, is one ofmy loveliest recollections of
Savoyard ways. Nut-brown, unbonneted

work and exposure is fatal to every trace Of
beauty, and | do not remember TO have

DROWNED WHILE FIGHTING.-About
noon on Friday last two Irishmen, named
Miles McFadden and - Hennessey, while
at work on the deck of a vessel lying at
the Fitchburg railroad wharf, Charlestown,
got into quarrel and fell to blows. During
the ARRAY, both fell overheard into the wa

from continuing the fight, as each struck
several blows while in the water. The quar-
rel was only ended when both sunk and

A Financial Operation.

We lately heard story illustrative of the
early days of York county--those good Old
times when everybody was "honest as the
days are long" The parties were two
early settlers in the western part of York
(uow Adams county-both were ofthe hon
est ola German stock-and as one Of them
is still living we suppress the names. Peter,
it appears, had increased the size Of his
farm, by annexiug thereto a small tract ad-
Joining, and lacked about hundred dollars
of the sum necessary to pay for the new ac-
QUESTION. He called upon his neighbor,
George, to borrow the amount. George
brought out an old bread basket and count
cd out the desired nulHber of "thalers." and
then. of course, the two sat down to two
large earthern mugs Of cider, and as many
pipes of tobacco. After smoking over the
matter for while, it occursed to Peter,
that in similar transactions he had seen or
heard of something like note passing be-
tween the borrower and lender, and he Sug-
gested as much to George. The lender
consented to the proprlety of the thing
paper pen and ink were produced-and
between the two document was concocted
stating that George had loaned Peter one
hundred dollars, which Peter would pay to
George in "dree monts," (three months
This Peter signed, and thus far our two
Financers had made the thing all regular
and shipshape. But at this point difficult
ty presented itself. They both knew that
notes were made in the operation of Dor
rowing and lending which they. had wit
nessed but neither Of them had observed
what disposition was made of the document
neither could tell whether it was en- regle
for the borrower or lender to take charge
of the paper Here was dilemma! At
length bright idea struck George. "You
hat de money to pay, Peter-so be sure you
must take dis paper, so as you can see as
you hat to pay it'll" Three months passed
over; and punctually to the day appeared
our friend Peter, and paid over the promis-
ed sum to George. This being done, the
mugs and pipes were again paraded. After
putting awhile, Peter produced the note and
hauded it to George with the remark
CHOW you must take de note, SO as you can
see as de money hat been paid !"-York

SWEET AND SOUR.-As an Instance of
what an extreme change is made by a sim
pie and slight alteration of the proportions
OF the same ingredients, we may notice that
the antagonism between sweet and sour, as
observed in sugar and vinegar, is owing
only to little more or little less of car.
bon and water. Thus, if in one hundred
parts about forty-two be carbon and the
rest be water, we shall have sugar; but if
forty-seven parts be carbon, and the rest be
water, we shall have vinegar.
