Jealousy and Blood in Pennsyl-'

.ba Dcsn


The Pittsburgh Despatch ~gives~the
following as occurring in Venango, Co.,
Pa:
A shooting ARRAY occurred in the vii
feud occurred between Mr.. Shrieves, and
the brother of his wife and also some
difficulties had occurred between Shrieves
and his wife, growing out of jealousy on
the part of the latter. Shrieves accused
the relations of his wife (the Hi!ands)
with being the instigators ofthis jealousy
aud IN the day in question took his rifle
and started out, determined, as he said,
to kill the first Hilands he met. He
found one ofthe men in the street, and
when Inland discovered his purpose, he
retreatcd, Shrieves still pursuing. Hi
lands entered a tavern, and while in the
act of closing the door, Shrleves discharg-
ed his rifle, the ball passing through the
door and cutting the clothes of Hilands.
Hilands her seized a double barrelled
shot gun and fired, one of the balls or
slags, with which the gun was loaded,
struck .hrieves and entered his thigh
Shrieves Immediately ran, when Hilands
discharged the other barrel, which took
effect on the hand of Shrievcs and shat.
tered it So as to render amputation nee
esssary. Shrieves jumped down a bank,
a physician, and others seeing he was
hurt, followed. They found him in the
act of drawing a large knife, and when
they approached, he warned them to keep
of, as he intended to kill Hilands, and
if they came near he would use the knife
on them. On being made aware of his
danger from the wounds received, he sub
mitted to nave them dressed. Hi:
wounds are not considered mortal.

&c Don't Forget Me"

Don't forget me; oh when life
And its cherished joys have fled;
When my spirit breaks it's letters,
And my form sleeps with the dead;
Keep, oh, keep my memory sacred,
In your hearts most inner shrine;
And think not because I'm absent,
That 1 am no longer thine.
1 ask no monument sublime,
Of sculptured marble towering high,
To rest above my lifcless form,
And fix the gaze of passers by.
1 ask not that my name should sound
From the silver trump ocfamc;
But when IN death you lay me low,
Raise a stone and carve my name.
Plant one flower above my grave,
Moisten with thy toars, the sod;
And my soul shall thrill with rapture,
In its nome on high, with God.
1 will leave my spirit mansions,
When 1 see you kncel in prayer
And with folded wings will listen,
Then to Christ the message bear.
1 will strike my harp at sunset,
When you watch the glowing west;
And you'll heal a faint murmur,
And will think that I'm at rest.
Oh, to die and be forgotten,
Filings a dead around the graves;
Makes me shun the thought of dying,
And my heart this boon will crave.
Friends, kind friends, oh don't forget me;
Love then as now, the same;
And above my lifeless form
Raise a stone and carve my name.

What a Blow

The last Rochester Union has the
following:
THE SToRM.--From what we can hear
of the storm yesterday, we infer that its
ravages we're confined to q small extent
of country, Including the city, and a part
of the towns adjoining, In the eastern
part of Henrietta, there was no rain or
hail. The storm appears to have been
most severe in Irondequoit, where the
hail lay in piles upon the ground this
morning! The corn, cabbages. young
plants and fruit were considerably in
jured, and in some instances wholly de-
stroyed,
We have conversed with several far
mers from Irondequoit, who assure us
that fine fields of wheat, barley and oats
are cut to pieces, and are not worth har-
vesting. They also assure US that the
hail fell in drifts to the depth of a foot
or more, and that when they came to
tho city this morning, they saw piles at
least eight inches deep. which had laid
on the ground through the night.
Most ~extravagant stories are told of
the storm by those who were out. One
gentleman says he saw a woman in the
north part of the city go out in the
storm to bring in a child, when a hail
stone struck her uncovered arm and
caused the blood to fow freely.

Last year of all the thousands of bar

Atlantic markets, it is stated that it
would have been difficult, if not impos-
sible, to find a single barrel of fair,
smooth, sound fruit. And as to peach
es, the inhabitants of the Atlantic coast
have given up the expectation of ever
seeing again a basket full of fruit such
as was common in years past, before the
trees were afflicted by diseases which
render it impossible to keep a peach or
chard 10 bearing more than two or three
years.
As yet we have not begun to realize
the great loss wo shall suffer if the tree
disease shall become as universal as the

ARE WE TO LOSE OUR FRUIT
TREES =? 1i.a 4

The question that heads this article
is a very serious one. We published
last year the saddeuipg information of
the loss of whole orchards of old apple
trees in Massachusetts,, and this year
the news comes in from every part Of
the United States of dying, dead, or
badly diseased fruit trees of all kinds
not the e%xotics, but the most hardy ma
tive varieties. A correspondent in the
last number of The Homestead, writing
from Cranky, Conn, says:
"The hardest fruit trees wear a
blighted appearance. English cherries
aud apples are dying out, while apricots,
pears, and even peaches, in the same
exposed situations, endured the Winter
we'll. l hear it said that the trees are
killed by the hard Winter, and it seems
probable, as the last Winter is written
8 the cold Winter But why have not
the least hardy trees suffered the most?
Is it caused by some insect unseen asd
unknown? Or is the whole thing plain
to the scientific? There was something
similar last year. Hardy wild grapes
died very generally in this region, while
the Isabella lived aud did well in equal
ly exposed places"
H. S. Beebe, who writes under date
of La Sale Co, Ill, July 7, for informa-
ton how to kill the borers that are de-
stroying the apple trees of that vicinity,
says that unless a remedy is soon disco
vered, the raising Of apples must be
given up, as the trees will all be destroy
cd, except the few that may be saved
by the eternal vigilance of those who
watch constantly and probe out the lit
tit destroyer. Mr.. Beebe has tried ash
es, soft soap, whitewashing, etc with
out any advantages any reader of the
ASHLAND Union who can tell how to get
rid of these worms will confer a favor
upon his fellow-suferers.
In New York aud neighborhood, not
only the fruit but other trees are deuu-
ded year after year of their foliage, and
if they do not die, they will not bear
