Grating and Pruning Fruit
Trees,

An experienced cultivator of Fruit trees
in Duchess CO., N. Y, says:
"Scions for grating should be IN tebru-
ary which is the right season TO insure
their living and doing well; they should
then be housed in the cellar until the time
for inserting them arrives, which, in some
parts might be by the last week in April
o. or the first of May, and during the latter
month. They should be put only into
healthy, vigorous branches, such as you
would not care to remove from the tree,
and thus, you will have an artificial tree,
that will be ready for bearing in about
three years.
By removing too many branches from a
tree, injury may be done. Careful at
tention should be given to this point by
looping the branches preparatory TO graft
ing, in order that the sap may pass into
the remaining branches, and keep the tree
healthy and growing. l give you these
ideas, knowing that fruit trees are often IN
jured by those who go about the country,
making it their business to set gratis in
April and May setting as many scions as
they can, and getting pay for those that
live, thus doing great damage to the fruit
trees.
"Many farmers in our country have, |
think, wrong idea as 10 the time of pru-
ming their apple trees, saying it is of little
consequence when the tree is pruned if it
only needs pruning. This is mistake, /
say, for at all seasons when the sap is down
it is entirely wrong. The first or second
week in June is the ouly fit season for pru-
ming the apple tree. Then the sap is in
full flow, and the wound made by cutting
ting off bough begins to heal and grow
over Immediately"

Ague Cure,
ror THE SPEEDY CURE OF

ia w & O9
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Asue,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases orisi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it viii eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prerention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run In violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CuRE" cxpels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints. but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
ain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Aguei is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis and Derangement of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Inter1nittents, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-

observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the

on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-

The Accident to the Quaker City.

AN INFANT 0vRRBoARD.-While tho passen-
gers of the disabled steamer Quaker City
were, on the 7th instant, fifty miles south Of
Cape Hatteras, being handed up the side Of
the bark Dumbarton, q heavy sea was run
ming, and it was with the utmost difficulty
that the ladies could be gotten on board.
This was finally effected, and then an inno-
cent little nursing, whose mother had en-
trusted it to the rough hands of the honest
tars, was handed up. The little thing was too
light and tender for their hard palma and
they sung out from the boat to those above 10
catch the "little one," and the next moment
score of arms was outstretched, as il was
lifted growing and kicking towards the gun
vale. Alas all hands missed it, and It fell
back into the sea among the sharks-every
eye was strained, the pulsations Of the heart
were stopped, and for moment all seemed
paralyzed; but this lasted only for an instant,
the sturdy arm of one of the gallant boats
crew had grasped the dear little one by the
leg, and as he lifted it aloft q cheer saluted
its appearance. The mother of the child now
went into strong convulsions, and the infant
was passed into the arms of Mrs. Davidson,
and while resting there beautiful land bird
hovered for moment over its little form, and
then, as if to assure itself that it lived perched
upon its dress, and hoped and chfrped in
concert with the Growing of the babe. The
bird then jumped TO the shoulder OF Mrs.
Davidson, thence to the shoulder of Mr.. Da-
wilson, who was near, and then took o final
farewell of the bark and her rescued passen-
gers.-Noyolk Day Book.

he grew thin and pale, so much as to give US
increased anxiety in regard to the nature of
his disease. He often, while at play, would
suddenly drop his toys and scream out. Also
in the night he would wake up crying, thereby

The tooth encompasses species of worm,
which, when elongated by crawling, was full
half inch in length; the head was Jet black,
and hard as slate stone, while the body was
white and flexible.
The tooth was deeply inserted; the inner
end was largely perforated, and also suta-

Harp, roaming about the barrens of Kentucky.
whose occupation seemed TO be to commit afro.
cious murders, and in many instances, appar-
emily without any object, except, as the older
acknowledged, hatred Of the human species.
In consequence Of these atrocities, tho Gov.

their capture. To aveuge the murder of a Mrs.
Stegal, man Of the name of Leiper raised A

Manufacture of Steel Pens,

Every school-boy recollects having seen the
name of Joseph aillot on steel pens. A letter
from Birmingham, England, describes the
manufactory in which they are made. They
now sell at sixty cents gross, whereas, when
Observation-Disclosures commences, they brought
$25 for that quantity. The letter says:
The steel comes mainly from Sheffield, in
thin strips Of about three inches in width, and
is first submitted to rolling process to reduce
1t to the required thickness for pens. This ia
done by boys and men in sort of basement,
where dust and grease seem to be abundant,
The other rooms are generally airy and spa-
cious, and girls and young women the emplores.

splits the point, and scores Of small, bu7zine
grindstones, from which, by contact with tho
pen, streams Of sparks are emitted, and grind
ing the pens at the point and along the back,
to give them the spring which is necessary.
This is considered the most important ope-
ration, the one on which the value of the pen
to most dependent. The tempering process
comes next. The pens are placed in small me-
tallic boxes, and submitted to IN intense heat
in great oven, a glimpse through whose
open door reminds one of the sweat to which
Shadrach and his comrades were subjected.
They come out as mallable almost as putty.
Another application of heat reverses this
state, and makes them too brittle for use,
while third, applied in different form, gives
them the temper which the buyer finds them
to possess. The process of vanishing is the
only one to which they are subjected after
being tempered.
