For the Cass Co. Republican.
Fruits in their Season.
BY B. HATHAWAY.

The Belmont. nt.-This fruit, although
cultivated to some extent in this par,
of the State, is not known as well as il
should be.
For home consumption there is ne
apple of its season that should take
precedence of this. Its exceedingly
rich quincy texture, crisp, yet tender
flesh, suits every taste, while for pies.
or baking it is unsurpassed, if equaled.
Its size is medium to large. Form
somewhat irregular, varying from
roundish crate, to roundish conical.
Large specimens often ribbed. Skin.
thin, of glossy, and of an oily ap.
pearance. Color, light clear yellow
if exposed to the sun, vermillion red
cheek, and carmine spots. Calyr, small
and close, or open and refexed. b.
siaa, either shallow or deep, but always
more or less furrowed. Flesh, yellow,
or yellowish white, fine grained, very
crisp and tender, sprightly sub-acid.
Core, large, either less than that of the
Yellow Bell-fower, with which most
are acquainted. Seed, abundant, ,ovate,
painted brownish red.
The Tree is one of the most vigor-
our growers. Usually an early and
good bearer. Occasionally its freedom
of growth will retard its fruiting seve-
raj years. 1 have seen it however,
produce the third season from bud.
Except as root-graft, or on alluvial
soil, it is healthy, and does finely, form
ing a large and handsome tree.
Season-Nouem6er to Fe6ruary-
The only detriment to its extensive
planting is, the fruit will not keep well
until spring, for the spring market.
But in the neighborhood of villages or
cities, for winter sale, it is unsurpassed.

A Word IN THE RiGHT PLAcE.-
The Michigan Former, in alluding to
the difficulties which the press of this
State have to encounter, says" The
great difficulty of sustaining any press
or newspaper establishment in this
State arises chiefly from the apathy of
the people, and the fact that the State
cannot very well carry the double load
of sustaining the press of other States
and its own. We believe that Michi-
gan pays to-day more to sustain the
press of New York than she does to
maintain herown. This state of things
we should all try to change az much as
possible by elevating and rendering our
journals as useful as possible in the dis
semination of intelligence, and also by
,impressing on the people of our neigh.
borhoods that without local press il
well sustained, it cannot fully perform
its duties and sustain their interests"

long and is kind, which beareth all
things, hopeth all things, and that meyer
fdileth."
Resolced, That the thanks of this
Grand Lodge are due to those noble
men everywhere who, at the risk of
personal popularity and local aggrand-
izement, have thrown themselves into
the breach to sustain the Constitution
and the laws, and to restore those fra
ternal relations which seem now so
nearly destroyed, and the destruction
of which would, in its full, involve the
destinies of our country.
Resotoed, That copies of these Res
solutions, under the seal of this Grand
Lodge, be forthwith sent to Grand
Lodge and Grand Emcampment in
affiliation with us, and to the Grand
Lodge of the United States.

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-Away among
tie Allghanies, there is spring SO
small that a single OK. in summers
day could drain it dry. 1t steals its
unobstrusive way among the bills, till
it spreads out into the beautiful Ohio.
Thence it stretches out a thousand
miles, leaving on its banks more than a
hundred villages and cities, and many
a cultivated farm, and bearing on its
bosom more than half thousand steam
boats. Then joining the Mississippi,
it stretches away some twelve hundred
miles more, till it falls into the great
emblem of eternity. 1t is one Of the
great tributaries of the ocean, which
obedient only to God, shall roll and
roar till the angel, with one foot on sea
and the other on the land, shall lift up
his hrnds to heaven, and swear that
time shall be longer. So with moral
influence. 1t is a rill-a rivulet-an
ocean, boundless and fathomless as
eternity.

Sociabiitiy.

We all need sympathy, and he who
insolates himself from society will not
receive much.
If we desire friends, we must be 50.
ciable. 1t causes us to deal more hon
estly with our fellow beings, and to re-
gard mankind with kindness. It serves
to pass away our hours of pleasure in
a pleasant manner and causes the mind
to look with hope into the fsture i'm
stead Of brooding over the misfortunes
of the past. 1t awakens thought, ex-
ercises the mental powers, and brings
JOY to the heart an evening spent with
ones friends, in delightful conversation,
conduees more to his happiness than a
thousand solitary excitements which
might otherwise obtrude themselves
upon him.

Health Items.

SIMPLE CURE FOR CRoUP.-The fol
lowing is simple remedy for this dan
gerous disease. Those who have passed
nights of agony at the bedside of loved
children, will treasure it up as a valua
BILE piece of information if a child i.
taken with Group, apply cold water
ice water, if possible suddenly and
freely to the neck and chest with a
sponge. The breathing will instantly
be relieved. Soon as possible let the
sufferer drink as much as it can, then
wipe it dry, cover it up warm, and soon
quiet slumber will relieve the parents
anxiety, and lead the the heart in
thankfulness to the Power which ha.
given to the pure, gushing fountain
such medical qualities.
DIPTHERIA. = The Distinguishing
mark of this malady from other dis
eases of the throat, is the formation oi
membrane which increase gradually
until the patient is strangled to death.
1t is sometimes accompanied with al.
ceration and great bodily prostration.
IL SuC tudIlOH vi ILLS
brane is to arrest and cure the disease.
The Cincinnati Press gives the follow.
ing simple remedy - In the early
stages of the complaint, which is al
ways accompanied by a soreness and
swelling of the throat, let the patient
use simple solution of salt and water,
as a gargle, every fifteen minutes. AT
the same time moisten piece of fan
mel with solution of the same kind,
made as warm as the patient can bear
it, and bind it around his throat, re-
newing it as often as the gargle is ad-
ministered, and in the meantime sprin-
kle fine salt between the flannel and
the neck. Use inwardly some tonic or
stimulant, either separately, or if the
Prostration be great use both together.
The treatment, as may be seen, is ex-
tremely simple, and, if used in the earli-
er stage of the disease will effect COM
plete cure.

An Incident at Fort Sumptsr.

The Baltimore american of yester-
day has the following story.
"One of the Baltimoreans who re-
Gently returned from Fort Sumpter de-
tails an impressive incident that took
place there on Major Anderson taking
possession. 1t is known that the Amer
lean flag brought away from Fort Moul-
trie was raised at Fort Sumter precisely
at noon on the 9th ultimo, but the in
cidents of the flag raising have not
been related. 1t was a scene that will
be a memorable reminiscenee in the
lives of those who witnessed it. A
short time before noon Major Anderson
assembled the whole of his little force,
with the workmen employed on the
fort, around the foot of the flagstaff.
The national ensign was attached to
the cord, and Major Anderson, holding
the end of the lines in his hands, knelt
reverently down. The officers, soldiers
and men clustered around, many of
them on their knees, all deeply i'm
pressed with the solemnity of the scene.
The chaplain made an earnest prayer
such an appeal for support, encourage
ment and mercy as one would make
who felt that mans extremity is Gods
opportunity AS the earnest, solemn
words of the speaker ceased, and the
men responded Amen with a fervency
that perhaps they had never before ex-
perienced, Major Anderson drew the
:'Star Spangled Banner" up to the top
of the staff, the band broke out with
the national air of Hail Columbia, >
and loud and exultant cheers, repeated
again and again, were given by the off
GERS, soldiers and workmen. IT.,
said the narrator, South Carolina had
at that moment attacked the fort, there
would have been no hesitation upon the
part of any man within it about defend
ing that flag"

My Baby.bOy.

Perhaps there is mother among our reader
who will read the following lines, and the HON
picture by Mrs. Stephenson which follows, withor
being happier in the possession of baby-boy, br
we do not believe it.
Come to my arms, you bewildering elf;
Let me gather you body and soul to myself;
Bury your scintillant eyes and hair,
And all the glory and grace You wear,
From twinkling feet to golden crown,
Deep in the folds of my crimson gown;
Clasping you close to my bosom and heart,
A thing of my hottest being part;
Grooming song in the olden rhyme,
Tender and sweet as a vesper-chime.
Sleep, baby-boy;
The little birds rest,
Downy and soft,
In the mother-bird's nest;
The lambkins are safe
In the shepherds warm fold;
The dew-drops asleep
In the butter-cup's gold.
The violet mods
To the daisy dream;
The lily lies hushed
On the lap of the stream;
And holy and calm.
Like motherly eyes,
The stars look down,
From the silent skies.
Sleep, baby-boy,
My birding, my flower,
My lily, my lambkin,
My dew-drop, my dover!
While heart against heart
Beats softly in time
To the mulmuring flow
Of my tender old rhyme.

THE INAUGURAL.

We publish this week the inaugural ad.
dress of President Lincoln, entire. The
spirit and tone Of the inaugural it appears to
us must be satisfactory. The President
elect might have :omittcd two or three para
graphs to advantage, but as a whole except in
style, it is fitting and satisfactory address.
Ia regard to the impending revolution that
is threatening the country under the for,nl,
of peaceful secession, tending to sunder and
disrupt the republic he could not say less
or adopt more conciliatory and conscrya,
tive course than he did. 1t is theoretical
truth that this government is still intact and
irnbroken, but the Stubborn fac. exists new
ertheless that it is practically dissolved.
In view Of the circumstances the proba-
BILE policy ofthe President elect, as furnish
ed IN, his inaugural is eminently wise. The
government with all its mighty interests is
committed to their charge. He is 10 take
care rs an obligation enjoinel by the con-
stltn''on that the laws are faithfully exc
cnsed. We ask then could tbs presslen.

do less than he has done and we only fear
ho cannot perform his plain duty; yet it is
required Of him to try, and if the effort is
both honestly and periodically attempted.
he should have the support and approval Of
every loyal citizen.
1t is no time, now to disagree about
phrases but all should unite in accomplish.
ing matters Of vital National Importance.
We must save the Unioa il we can without
increased ani,nosity, and without bloodshcd,
but if conci'iatory measures are proposed
and contesHptuously rejected, is there true
American citizen in the North, who will
refuse to sustain the President in enforcing

maintaining the integrity Of the Union, by
