THE APPLE AMI THE CURcULIo.- Mr.
Brown. Of the New England Farmer reports
a small Drop of fruit in New Hampshire this
year, Of apples, even less than last year ard
thus explains a principal cause Of the Ca
lamty'ss .a...
I" have recently spent some fifteen days
in the tops of apple trees in pruning and
shaping, end have carefully examined the
young fruit and in going over some four or
five hundred trees I did not find one dozen
apples left untouched by the curculio There
was the unmistakable evidence of his visit in
the crescent-snaped puncturo, and the egg
nicely sealed over with gum, while the ground
beneath the trees was strewed with unnum-
bcrcd scores of the fallen and slain. 1t is
impossibleto gather all the fruit that falls
as thousands of trees are in grass ground and
in other places where collecting would be
impraoticable."

TIE GRAPE CULTURE. Since the failure of

TIE GRAPE CULTURE. Since the failure of
all attempts in this county to iegiSidte tenn
perancc reform. or course by law the disuse
Of intoxicating liquors, the next movement,
and 1t seems to us very salutary one, is to
extend the cultivation of the grape and the
manufacture Of wine; SO as, if possible. to
make native wine take the place of native
whSkey as the common drink of the people.
In various quarters We hear Of the planting
of vineyards and renewed attention to grape
culture. Every friend to Temperance must
wish success to these efforts. 1t is very GER
tain tina, If wine drinking could be substitu
ted for brandy or whisky drinking there
would be less drunkenness than there is
throughout the land, because experience has
proved the fact in other countries. There is
now salutary dread of drugged indicated,
and manufactured alcoholic liquors. Pure
wine would have better chance now that
pure other drinks are hard to obtain.

has been increased within the last quarter ola
century, from about 7 bushels to the acre. to
above | 3 bushels per acre-an increase ofnear-

THE SUICIDE OF GEN. RUsK An extract of

death of Senator Risk. 1t says
General Rus.i has, ever since the death of
his lady, suffered under mental depression
which at times bore him down beneath its

himself from society, AMI lately that deSpon.

those familiar with him. A severe illness
from which he was recovering, had Frustrated
him fol- weeks. and he was suffering greatly
from rising on the back OF his neck.

the fall. of body, ran to the spot, and found
him lying dead upon the ground, b.hind the
gallery at the back Of the house, with Il rifle
under him. \ coroncr's jury was summon

NO further clue can he given to this mys-

LOUISIANA SUGAR Crop A correspondent,
planter. wr!ling to the New Orleans Delta
says IN reference To the Louisiana sugar crop:
The truth is this, the Louisiana sugar plan
ter has another short crop before him. 1t
will be a short crop at best, now. The most
favorable future cannot prevent this, and an
cal y fall or unfavorable weather may reduce
the product of the growing crop to the iigurcs
of last year, or even less. These are the facts.
My own crop, am persuaded, is fully two
weeks behind last year IA very late season.
and while the sand is better, my only hope
is in late fall, and this from the very back
ward spring, we may reasonably expect. am
persuaded that my crop Is in no way the in
trrlor of the crops Of my nci9hborS, and the
universal statement that hear upon the whole
coast is My stand is good, but the canes are
very small" Believe my prediction it will
take II most favorable season to give Us 200.
900 hogShcadS: and with bad weather. droulh
or an early fall. there is no estimating with
any degree of certainty, how ltllc we may
make.
