Trim IN ing a,.d TIA mining frees.

A great variety OF opinions prevail a
mong farmers, 5 to the period Of The yea
most PROPER for trimming fruit trees
From the rationale of the process, and .
good deal Of experience, we are disposed
70 consider the time or season of the yea
Of very little Importance, so that it is mo-
performed during tie opening or entire ex
pansion Of the leaves, whereby there is 4
great expenditure of tree food and vitality
lost to the portion left.
The spring season, before and at the time
ef the first rising of the sap, is probably as
Ijudicious time as any for this operation
For small limbs and ordinary thinning, the
fall or winter months are perfectly safe.--
For cutting large limbs and branches, the
spring of the year is preferable. rs the
wounds do not season and crack--the. sau
keeps them moist, and they heal sooner and
bettef.al& 1I $50 sqb
Those trees that have been long neglect
ed and become very thick and bushy, it is
not advisable TO cut too much in any one
|year, as the sap and talenergv that sup
ported the excised limbs, is not as many
suppose, turned directly to the remaining
parts, for every twig on the tree has its set
of independent pores, extending to the
roots, and when cut of, the sap does not
directly find It's way to the parts left; but
by kind of eco snsosis, or by the lateral
viserea or circulation. it is slowly diverted
to the remaining vessels. A considerable
portion is expended in luxarent water
sprouts those long rods that start ont
about wounds where the lHbs were cut off.
Another Objection to excessive pruning,is
that it has a tendency to deter the trees
from bearing fruit freely, and frequently
for some years. When ii tree makes wood
it does not make fn,it buds -
this is well known fact. The fruit bud
in the apple is two years in forning,and in
the pear often four or five years, and when
pushed too fast OH its first year, it loses its
disposition to set---throws out leaves and
becomes twig, the incipient organs of a
limb.
The best process for regulating and
keeping the orchard in proper order for the
certain production Of fruit, and that of the
largest aud fairest kind, is never to let il
getin a condition reqnriug heavy pruning<,
but to carefully examine, then cut aud bal
ance the bearing wood every.year keeping
lhetree openin the centre ;toainlits, light and
air. for every one is aware that the central
fruit IN a bushy, close tree with dense foil
age, are small, pale, without flavor and of
very little use.
1t is not always safe IN grating old trees
to cat too many large limbs at once,for the
bark il 50 thick an; resisting, and the Vi
vality of the tree 50 spent, that 1t cannot
throw olt thexdorinan b.,.!s to carry on
the circulation, and cad sides or centers of
the trunk are apt tc be the result. The

DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Hon. c. L. WILLIAMS, Presiding.
MoNDAY, Nov. 80.

MONDAY, Nov 3O
Court met purGuant to adjournment
Decision on the motion Of defendant for
arrest of judgment in the Wallace case re-
served until Thursday.
the case Of the People vs.. Reiugio Escar-
ciga, indicted for murder, in the killing of
IL. W. Casey at Spanishtown on the Both
May last, was called.
The following persons were empannelled
as trial jury:
BENZ Culver, John Roseberry, Orrn
Washington, VIM. Nesbitt, r. W Cannon,
G. d. Fenner, VIM. Scaggs, 7. j. Dorland,
II. Hakes, Chas. Barker, c. B. White, and
J. Hardey.
The evidence elected on the part Of the
prosecution is substantially as follows;
The deceased and defendant were both in
the house Of a Spanish woman named Mari
quita, and Casey remarked to the woman
that defendant was one of band of horse
thieves that had been prowling around the
neighborhood Defendant asked the woman
what Casey said and she telling him, he
responded by telling Casey in Eoglish that
he lied. Defendant became noisey, and
Casey put him out the door and shut it.,
Soon after defendant returned, pursued Ca
sey with knife and stabbed him fatally.
after which Casey obtained n hatchet, and
while attempting to use it on the defendant,
fell and expired.
The principal question seemed to be.
whether the deceased was stabbed before or
after the attempt made by him with the
hatchet. The evidence on the part Of the
people was concluded last evening at 5
O'Clock, when the Court adjourned to meet
this morning et 10 o'clock

from Iowa Hill under date of Nov oath, says
that two men, named John .McClusl;ey and
Christopher Mowry, were killed in the
morning of that day BY the caying in of a
tunnel in which they were working. Says
the writer, "They left their cabin at 7
o'clock this morning and went to work, and
not returning as usual to their dinner, about
o'clock their partners went for them and
found them buried by large amount OF
gravel and earth. At what time the acci-
dent happened it is impossible to tell as
they had the appearance of being somo time
dead when taken out, about sunset Il was

One Of the most ingeniously contrived

was to come off at Sewel's between &um-

redoubtable Steve Ford tie Zum walt party

posed making the race Between the two nags,
he knowireS as also did Steve, that the mare
could beat the hind sights of Peg leg"
in square race; but no such foolishness
was contemplated on either sde-particu.
larly OF steves. The proposition made,
came either from one Jack Wilson or John
Ingram, and was az follows: Steve was to
enter Peg-leg" against " Sue," the race
to be quarter of a mile for 81 ,000-Steve
stalking half and Charley Parks the other
half. So far all looks straight as
string" but how is Peg-lc to beat Sue
" The idea is this, Steve says John Ingram,
",ce'H morphine the mar" Startling as
this proposition was, Steve received it favor
ably; and, impressed with the beautiful
prospect of a " dead thing" on Charley
Parkes, proceeded in good time to lay tEc
plans for carrying out the "pizenirh"
The evening before the race was to come
off, Steve accompanied by his confidential
friend Ingram, and Jack Wilson, made
little threehanded game Of "seven up"
merely to pass away the evening, and just
after midnight, Ingram and Steve were taken
with very great desire to 50 and look after
their horses.

ont they got at n break eek pace from the
back door, leaving Charley Parks, Steves

to " snake out" out the medicated fodder,

1t is merely necessary to add-painful as
the duty is-that the race was run next day,

beaten so bad that he never touched bot.
