HoM1cIDE.-We learn that homicide
occurred in the eastern portion Of this Dis
trict, the latter part of last week, under the
following circumstances. 1t seems that two
brothers, Sexton, under the influence of
spirituous liquor, and it is said having some
ill-feeling toward one Kitchens, came into
the field where the latter was at work and
there commenced a difficulty with him.
Kitchens it is reported fed to his house af-
ter being pretty severely beaten by the Sex
tons who still pursued him. The latter sell
zed a double-barrelled gun which was al
ready loaded in the house, and forbade his
assailants to approach him upon pain Of
death-the Sextons renewed their attack
upon him when one of them was instantly
shot down by Kitchens-and the other still
continuing the assault was also shot and dan
gerously wounded. The first died in few
hours and the latter still fingers in critical
condition. Kitchens, we are informed, en-
tered a recognizance before A. B. Brown,
Esq, Magistrate, for his appearance at the
nezt term of the Court of Sessions for this
District. Chester Standard.

"SHoULD THE SUCKERS BE REMOVE

"SHoULD THE SUCKERS BE REMOVED
FROM Corn ?"--Not unless you have plenty
of boys, with nothing else for them to do
The argument in favor of removing the suck
ers from corn, I suppose to be this: The
suckers rob the corn of nourishment neces-
sary to their growth and perfect develop
ment, and appropriate it to their own use.
They never have but little if any corn upon
them, consequently are of no value except
for fodder.
I think it will not pay to remove them,
unless, as I said before, there is no other
work for the boys; and perhaps not then,
unless it is to keep them out Of mischief
Suckers are not often thrown out from corn
on poor hungry soil and when they are, it
is conclusive evidence To me that everything
is as favorable as it can be to the growth
and perfection of the crop; thatit is growing
as fast as it can that the roots are taking up
the necessary food for the plant as fast as it
can be manufactured ESQ to speak, into corn,
and perhaps faster; and that, as natural
consequence, these new shoots or suckers
are thrown out because the sap or food for
the plant can go in no other direction

IMPORTANT BIBLICAL DIsCovERY.-The
London Athenaum says that Prof. Tischen-
dorf, who had been sent by the Russian
Government on journey of scientific ex-
ploration, in letter from Cairo, dated the
18th of March, states to the Minister of
Saxony, Herr Won Falkstein, that he has
succeeded in making some valuable discove-
ries relative to the Bible. The most impor-
tant of these discoveries is manuscript of
the Holy Scriptures, from the fourth centu-
ry, consequently as old as the famous manu-
script of the Vatican, which hitherto, in all
commentaries, maintained the first rank
This it will have to share in future with the
newly discovered manuscript, if Herr Tisch-
endorf be not mistaken. In 346 beautifully
fine parchment leaves of such size that only
two could have been cut of one skin, it con-
tains the greatest part of the Prophets, the
Psalms, the Book Of Job, the Book of Jesus
Sirach, the Proverbs, the Song Of Solomon,
and several of the Apochryphal Books of
the Old Testament; but the whole of the
New Testament is complete. Another val
liable discovery Of Professor Tischendorfs
is described as an undoubted and complete
discovery Of the Epistle of Barnabas, and of
the Shepherd of Hermas, both belonging to
the second century of the christian era, and
originally standing in the esteem of the
Scripture Epistles. Herr Tischendorf hopes,
from the munifcence of the Russian govern
ment, that he will be enabled to give imme-
diate publication 10 these three manuscripts.

Plant an orchard. If children cannot obtain

and when they have learned to steal fruit,

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

In the present state of horticultural
knowledge, it is about as important to tell
the owner of an orchard, seasonably, what
he should not do, as whaG he should. Much
skill as it requires to plant tree, it requires
still more to prune it soas to help its growth
and fruit bearing. Fortunately for the nur-
sery-men there is so little skill in planting,
that majoriay of the trees removed from
the nursery never call for pruning. The
sunbeams of their first season remove every
redundant twig with a thoroughnessth that the
most rabid rruner might envy. A small
sample of undersized been poles is the Au-
tumn inventory of what went upon his plan
tation in the Spring as splendid lot of the
choicest fruit.trees, purchased at one dollar
each, and richly worth two. These, Of
course, will not want further pruning. But
you have an old orchard, with some dead
limbs and thick, heavy growth of sprouts,
and 80 much top that there is no chance for
tie sun to get in to ripen the fruit; what is
to be done with it? Do not infer that be-
cause you have keen.edged knife and a
sharp saw, that the best use you can make
Of them is to go into the apple-tree tops with
them in April. The truth is, February, March
and April, are the worst three months in the
year for this purpose. Lay your pruning
tools upon the shelf for the present, and
walk with us to your neighbor's orchard
This was pruned last April. You see that
many large limbs were removed, and that the
old wood is now nearly as black as if it had
been painted, and that a long, black stain
extends far down the amputated limb, great
ly ipjuring as we'll as dis6guring the bark.
Examine the wood closely, and you will find
it has already begun to decay. The whole
tree has received shock by this untimely
pruning, and years will not repair the injury.
The best time for general pruning is at
the close of the first growth Of Summer,
which IS from the 18th of June to the 18th
of July. Then the leaves will take care OF
the flowing sap, and all small wounds may
be rapidly healed over. The large wounds
may be closed bya coating of tar, thickened
with brick-dust, applied warm. Gum She.
lac is good, but is more liable to peel of
than the tar mixture.
Never cut a limb, for the sake of using
your tools. The tops of apple-trees do not
require severe trimming in our hot Summers.
Nature understands the wants of the tree
often much better than the gardner who has
had his training under the dripping skies of
England. The thick limbs and foliage are
needed to protect the trunk, the larger
branches and the fruit. You will find your
