CULTIVATE H SOIL AROUND FRuIr TpyEs.
In the year 1854, the year Of the great drontb
here. had some apple trees STANDING IN a
piece OF clover, and some in a part of the EAR
oen those IN the clover were worked around
once or twice in the early part of the season.
and those in the garden were cultivate ali
the summer. The trees that stood IN the
clover were so injured by drouth that I had
to mulch them, and water them twice a week.
and could hardly save them while those
that were kept clean, and the surface stirred
through the season, grew luxuriantIy and
appeared to be affected but little by the
drouth. These trees had been planted sew
eral years. / had a few trees standing in the
nursery, two years old from the graf. kept
well cultivated through the summer: they
grew seven feet high, and were the admira-
ton of all who saw them. So much for keep
ing the land well plowed, and the surface con-
tinually stirred and kept light, during a
drouth. A. G. MULLINS, Chester's Store, XIV.

DEAR SIR: Your n reminded me of my
duty. | herein inclose 81, one for the Spirit
of the Age, and the other for the Agricultur-
al paper. of which you are the Editor. My
hand is too stiff to write much, but consider
me a subscriber pro UitG.
Respectfully yours, "
The above is from a subscriber whose name
has been on our books since the establish
ment of the Spirit of the Age. The frosts OF
fourscore years are upon his head, but the
blood beats strongly yet, for the good OF his
race. We have enjoyed his society, and fell
sation on our hearts. He is in the enioymen
OF a green old age, and is actively engaged
III the promotion of every good word an
work. His chirography is a curiosity 70
smoothness and regularity-evincing that tn
f%ire-water has never burnt up his nervou
system. A few more days, and he will b
gathered home, and his name and exampl
be left as a sweet SAVIOR among a people whor
he has spent a long and useful life. His re
firing modesty will not allow US the pleasur
of giving his NAME, as we would like to d.
in order to hold him up to the young men @
this generation, as an example worthy to b
followed.

The Editors of the Fayetteville Observer,
a paper, by the way, which always has q
word to say in rebuke of intemperance and
immortality of every kind, have been examin-
ing the official report of the authorities of
New York, just published, which shows that
during the year 1867, 27.s45 persons were
committed to prison in that city. This is
about l to every % persons in the city
What, says the Observer, wouldo our Fayette-
vile folks think of a like proportion-200
commitments in one year? Of the whole
number, 6,567 were natives, and 21,27s for
eigners. The Express says
g 1921 were temporary commitments for
intoxication; 1855 for assault and battery,
lprobably the result of free drinking 1000
for disorderly conduct, doubtless in some way
connected with rum, in all 1886 commit
ments caused in a greater or less degree by
liquo.:; which, considering that there are over
twelve thousand places in New York wher,
liquor is sold, is not much-only a little owe
one commitment for each grog shop. Fo
vagrancy there were s, 306 commitments, an
for petit larceny 2,27S persons were incarcel
ated. For murder 50 rogues were locked u

SIR As things are, I viii once more ash
you, or pay you, 70 publish some remarks in
your paper, in reply to some 1 saw in it Of the
22d Of June last, from some one in Charlotte,
and many others like them from others, about
the North Western Railroad, which are very
different from what have said and written
with my name to them.
And, it is said that am trying to break
down the railroads as such, my reputation as
a man of truth and business, is at stake.
And the county court has fled bill against
said road. and appointed me and others 70 eLa-
mine It and the other three roads in Whlcn the
county has stock, and to report what has Deen
done on each road what they have on hand /;
what they are paying their officers, and when
tl..,, ov,e.t 10 nav the interest on the county
bonds.
AL want to leave the State in a short time,
on business of Importance, / will thank all
nqrties 10 get ready as quick as they can, and
LET us do what we intend TO do, as quick as we
can.
And if find 1 have been mistaken, 1 will
try to correct It, and myself and the court VIII
nav the damages; and as they are Tieh and bet
Ter educated, 1 suppose they viii act more like
liberal gentlemen, who will forgive and correct.
For. bv the will Of God, I VIII try so to act,
that men of sense viii think and speak of me
as man e truth and business, and friend
10 INV country, railroads, and other good i'm
provcments and viii lend my help to those
who do the work to get their pay.
Mr.. Editor: / am opposed to selling county
bonds at discount OF thirty per cent. to pay
officers $1,000 or $4,000 per year, for doing
little or no thing, aud seeing the poor work
hands leaving the work without their pay
I will try to have a law TO secure their pay as
far as the work. materials and provisions, are
worth it. And respectfully invite all parties,
as men of business, TO come up to the line Of
truth. reason, and justice and if they win
rive us names and facts thatwiIl stand the test,
and build and support their iron tracks-then
if / am not found TO be their friend they may
bIacken me from end to end.
Please to let me know what you all viii do,
