Improving Old Orchards.

Desirable as pears, cherries and
plums are, we can hardly count on very
large and constant supplies of such
fruit. Our climate, or soil, is unfav-
orable to their growth, or they are in
tested with so many insects and disca-
ses, and require SO much care, that
few farmers can devote sufficient at
tention to their culture. The apple
must be our main dependence; and it
is no mean dependence either. Yet
strange to say many orchards are treat
ed with neglect. The trunks and
limbs Of trees are suffered to become
messy, tho tops are allowed to grow
up dense mass of brush, and the fruit
to remain of an inferior quality.
Now, there arc few men who can
really afford to keep such orchards
Why not break up the ground, and if
it is not thought best to let it lie fallow
then give it coat of manure and raise
some kind Of hood crop upon it. If
possible, mulch the roots of the tree
with old straw or chips. Once a year
at least, scrub tho trunks with wet I've
or potash water, to remove the moss
androut the insects which harbor there.
Then as to pruning, there 10 enough
to do, but it must be done in the right
way. 1t will not answer to mount the
trees with rough nailed boots, and, axe
in hand, hack away like woodman fell
ling "a forest. Tread on the limbs care
fully, so as not to start the bark. Use
q fine. pruning saw; tain out the
branches so as to leave an open SYM
metrical head, and where large branch
es must be taken off, cover the wounds
with grafting-wax or solution of gum
shellac. If the fruit is of inferior
quality, graft in choicer sorts, begin
ming at the top, and grating only one
third of the tree each year. 1t costs
no more to raise good kinds of fruit than
poor; the satisfaction and the income
are ten-fold greater.-American Ag-
rscu!tuyist. aai si au ~

Signs Of tho Times.

The position of the Locofoco party
at the present time is precarious, uncer-
tain and unstable, and all the signs Of
the times indicateits disruption. Mr..
Buchanan's position is very like that
of Mr.. Van Buren, in 1887, and so arc
the circumstances which surround him
and his administration. Like Mr.. Van
Buren, he is personally not popular,
and like him, too he is actually aspir-
ing for are-nomination and re election.
Nothing but trouble and difficulty is
therefore in store for Loco Focosm.-
Even tho cohesive power of public
plumber "a principle hitherto strong
MS death, and far stronger than their
desire to faithfully and honestly adj,
minister the government constitution
ally, legitimately and without favor
or affection, must suceumb to the cir.
cumstances in which the Nullifers have
placed the country, in their hot haste
for office. 1t is not too much to say
then, if there is not total failure in
men, the marked prestagc of the par
ty will soon be gone; and all patriots
and Union loving conservatives should
rejoice at the downfall Of party SO e.
quivocal and go VIGOROUSLY insincere,
trucking and time serving.
The fight commenced by Walker,
Douglas, Forney & Co., though ostcn,
sibly on a principle, is in sober truth
only a fight for the Presidency. Buch-
anan is known to them as cand-
date for denomination and reelection,
and they have no idea of having him
forced upon the party for another
term. Hence the quarrel. Though
Walker, Douglas, Forney & Co., arc
right on the Kansas question, we can
have no more sympathy with them be-
You'd that question than We could have
with the Administration. We have no
confidence with either faction. Both
arc Loco Foco, in favor of Free Trade,
Alien Suffrage, and all the other mi
quitics of Loco Focoism, against which
we shall ever wage unceasing warfare.
As the fight now stands, it is like that
of the Kilkenny cats, and if there be
no interference on the part of the out
siders, will end in the same manner
Let then, neither the Americans nor
Republicans become parties to it. Let
the Loco Focos fight it out themselves
and they will be sure of so far destroy
ing each other, as to make it easy for
the combined forces of opposition to To-
co Focoism to gain victory over them

The Dangers of crinolins.

The Courier de iAin thus describes
the horrible death of the lovely and
accomplished Viscountess de Thezut:
"Madame dc Thezut carelcssly ap-
preached the fire, wearing a dress the
skirt Of which resembled balloon,
from the quantity Of crinoline it con -.
tanned, and in moment her apparel
was in light flame. There were three
persons in the room at the time Of the
accident, Wig the grandmother of
the ViScountess, an old lady of sixty
years of age; girl of twelve years,
and n domestic. They rushed forward
to cxtinguish the flames, but were un-
able to succeed in SO doing, and Mad
anne dc Theaut ran into the next room
where the flames famed by her move
ments, rose to such height, as to be
distinctly seen by the inhabitants of Gil
vey, who imagining that the chateau
was on fire, rushed thither in body.
"M. de Thczut hearing the cries of
his unhappy wife, ran to her assistance
and envelopca her in table cloth,
which CHANGED to be at hand, but this
served only to add fresh fuel to the
flames, which were extinguished only
when every particle of clothing had
been burned from the body Of the suf-
fcrcr. .r.. n..r..... ....
"The rapidity with which the fire
spread, and the impossibility of extin-
gushing it, can only be attributed to
the crinoline which Madame dc Thezut
wore. When one side of the skirt was
pressed down the other bulged out, and
lent additional activity to the flames.
The unhappy lady fingered for three
hours prey to the most agonizing tor.
lures, and then expired, amid the lam.
entations of her bcreoyed and dscon-
iolate family. M. de TheSut wcs also
severely burned in aiding his wife
Ills left hand will be useless the little
inger being entirely consumed"

Political Catholicism In Austria.

The correspondent Of the London
Times wiling from Venice furnishes
some information as TO tho doings of
Jesuitism in that vicinity. He says:

"Afier the elections are over the
priests buve to take their hocks back
to their respective villages, "and to sec
that they arc well entertained at the tx.
pense of tho clerical candidates." IL is
generally believed here that the Roman
Catholic hierarchy is so well content,
with its successful Crusade against the
press, that il is reposing on its laurels
but such is not the case. A protest is
about to be made By the Bishops
against the educational system which
the Minister of Public Instruction. two
or three years ago, introduced into the
Gymnas,ial school and Univor sitv.
"Tbe system was 10 be tried for
certain peliod, and as il is almost at an

quired his services the Jesuits were loud
in their praises of Count Leo Thup,

place, and consequently loudly decry
his measures. The lemon has been

"A Noble BOY.

himself into tree during the night,
for protection from the wild beasts.
Poor boy F! he had high commission
to fulfil before death released him from
his suffering. On the fifth day he was
discovered, and dragged by the brutal
Sepoys before one Of their leaders to
have the little life left him extinguish-

catcchist, formerly Mohammedan,
whom the Sepoys were ondeavorinp to
terrify and torment into q recantation.
The firmness of the native was giving
way as he knclt amid his prosecutors,
with no humane sympathy to support

watching him for short time, cried
out, ooh my friend come what may,

out some regret on his part for the adj
vice given: -.

would get the blues and endeavor to

Twice did the wife ascertain that he

twice did the doctor restore him. Up
on the second restoration, the doctor
addressed him as follows: "You good
forcnothing scoundrel, you don't want
to kill yourself, you merely want to
annoy your wife and me. 1fyou want
to kill yourself, why don't you cut your
throat and put an end to the matter ?''
Well, away went the doctor, and thought
no more of his patient until, some two
or three weeks after, he was awakened
from q sound nap by the tinkling of his
night bell. He put his head out of the
window and inquired, whats the mat
