KEEP FRUIT TREES SrRAIGnT.-Trees in an
open exposure often acquire a leaning position
from the prevailing winds. This should not
be suffered beyond a certain stage Of the tree.
When as large as ones wrist, they should be
set up erect and, indeed thrown into the
wind at an angle of ten or fifteen degrees, in
order to bring them ultimately into a straight
position. This is best done by obtaining
-crotched limbs from the woods, eight or twelve
feet long; and placing the butt end, which
should be sharpened, on the ground, and the
crotch end either against the trunk, immedi-
ately beneath the branching point, or against
large outer limb, if more convenient, secur-
ing it from chatting in the crotch, by a padding
of straw or litter, and setting it at once to the
desired angle of elevation. Loosen, also, the
ground on the windward side of the root so
that it will not bind, and the work is accom-
plished. Let this be done when the tree be-
gins to make its summer growth, or soon after
leafing out. One season, il the tree is thrifty
will be all that is required. IT. however, it be

remedy is sure. Even large trees which have
acquired permanent lean may be thrown
into an erect posture by loosening the earth
at the root, and occasionally cutting off an OBJ
stinately large root, without njuring its growth,
and thus be made slightly. An erect tree will
be longer lived and more fruitful than lean
ing one, and not half so subject to causality
as if left to its own guidance.

HoRRIBLE DEATH.-The Iuolumne gazette
says that Mr. John Rules, of Springfield, came
to his death in terrible manner, on Sunday
evening last, near Columbia. Having been
indugng rather freely, and being very noisy,
friend volunteered to see him home. After
some trouble he was mounted upon his friend S
horse, and for greater security, his legs were
tied together under the horses belly. The
party then set out for Springfield, Rules com
panion leading the horse. When near the
lower end of Broadway the animal became
restive, reared and fell back upon his rider,
but Immediately sprang up and galoped away
like the wind. As the horse got TO his feet,
the SADLY turned with Rules, and being fast
ened to the beast, at every bound his head
dashed against the ground This Mazcppa-
like ride was checked at Braces lumber
yard, upwards Of quarter of a mile from the
starting point. Rules was taken from the
horse dead and horribly mangled. His arm
was broken in several places and his brains
mingled with the dust of the road. Rules was
native Of England, and leaves wife in
Springfield, to whom he was lately welded.

METEOR SEEN IN DAYLIGnT--A letter to the
New York Tribune, dated Glenmary, Tioga
county, N. Y, August 9th, mentions that a
brilliant meteor was seen on that day, near
the village of 0wego. 1t passed from north
west to northeast, horizontally, with great We
locity, the light emitted being of exceeding
whteness, about the volume of a rocket, and
apparently at the hight of two hundred feet.
though no doubt the elevation was very great,
as it was accompanied by no sound. After
passing through nearly third of the visible
arc Of the sky in four or five seconds, il parted
into three pieces. These latter followed each
other in direct line for an instant, and then
all disappeared in mid heavens.
