Tribute 70 n vVertnv wan.

We are informed by some Of tho best citizens Of
Hancock county. Ill., that GKoRaE FELr, who was
recently killed near Palmyra, was young man Of
uncommon worth and excellent promise. He was
universally beloved for his good and manly traits
90 was amply testified by the attendance Of four
thousndspeople at his funeral on Monday last He
was the only son Of his parents, and in his death
they have offered up q sacrifice on their country's
altar beyond all price, Yet his untmely loss at
the hands Of Assassina, while lamented with deep
and nnfcigned sorrow by his parents and all his &C.
quAntanccs, serves also to intensity their devotion
to cause which they all feel is worthy Of any sacr
hce. II 1T 10 sweet to die for ones country" we
may be assured that one with 80 pure, noble and
manly character as young Felt has already reap
ed reward which infinitely outweighs all temporal
distinctions and properties
We take pleasure in transferring to our columns
the following noble and touching letter from Gen.
Hurlbus to the father Of young Felt.
HxAD-QuARrERs, Hupsos, Mo, Aug. IL, 81.
CYRus FELr, Eso.--DRAR srR: It is my duty to
return to you the body Of your gallant son-the
first man killed by the enemy since the regiment has
come under my command. He fell ~ brave man
and good soldier, in the bold discharge OF his u-
tty: unfortunately not by an open enemy in fair
battle, but by cowardly assassins, who presume on
the night and the ambush.
Let me assure you that his reputation as a good
soldier and good man Is held In vivid remem-
hrance by his company and his regiment
hope soon to take thorough steps to punish the
perpetrators of this outrage, and will then give the
comrades Of your the opportunity 70 show their
regard for his memory.
send you his body under escort, and beg to as
sure you Of my sympathy at the loss which your
family have sustained. Very truly,

Brig. Gen. u. S A.

Reports or IN Attack ON Ashens.
We publish letter from Z very reliable
source, giving information OF eontemplat-
Cd attack on Col. Moore 1t Athens. We
have similar reports from there or from 9TH
or sources 10 Missouri, and circumstances
make it plausible. There are the strongest
possible motives operating on tho minds Of
the secession forces to make the attempt to
wipe out Moore, and to do 90 soon.
We understand that Moore has sent ont .
call to various places in our State for REIN
forosments, but We fear that the persevering
efforts made to discredit him, will operate to
prevent any general cooperation even BY the
companies in tho border counties who have
been fursishsd arms for that very pnrposs.-
II 10 to be hoped that Col. Bussey and our
COMMITTEES Of Safety will take the matter
under advisement this morning and &C. with
promptitude and energy.
Should few hundred OF our citisens be
sacrificed, it 10 probable some Of the Volun.
teers now gathering 10 the Northern part Of
the State will be sent down here or up into
Minnesota.

WESLEY As 4 PRoFEssoR.-The venerable
Wesley was deeply sensible of the adyan-
tages which accrue to the ministry from
well conducted seminaries of Christian
learning. Time after time he sought to
provide one of these Summaries for the Ia
borers whom God was maryelously raising
up to cooperate with him in his great work.
He founded the school at Kingswood, in
which he not unfrequently placed young
preachers for season. He perused aud
abridged valuable works adapted. indeed, to
the use of all, but more directly intended 10
advance the improvement of his fellow-help-
ers in the Gospel. And he also took OPP
portuniLies to read select pieces with as
many of them as he could conveniently as
sembIe together, himself their tutor. So be
writes in his journal, under the date of Feb
ruary %, 1749:
'My desire was TO have SO many of our
preachers here during Lent as could posi-
big be spared, and to read lectures to them
every day, as did to my pupils in Oxford.
I had seventeen of them in all. These l
divided into Two classes, and read to one,
Bishop Pearson on the Greed, and to the
other, Aldrich's Logic; and to both, Rules
for Actions and Utterance.''
Amidst the manifold cares and tolls of
Mr.. Wesley's companions and successors,
the arrangement of a plan for more regular
Ministerial instruction was kept in view.
Its importance became more and yet more
apparent, and it was urged in discourses, in
pamphlets, in conversation, with increased
earnestness, till at length. in the year 1884,
as the fruito of united aud most careful de-
Liberation. the Theological Institution was
commenced at Hozton, and it now flourish
es in its two branches, the southern one at
Richmond, and the northern one at Dds
bury.-Dr Hannah.

Why Fruit TREES WINTER KILL
Fruit trees winter-kill" because their
wood is not sufficiently matured in the fall.
The mild weather through autumn contin-
ues the growth till period past the time of
hardening, as it is termed, so that the rigors
of winter are fatal. An oak does not winter
kill, because the texture of the wood is firm.
The same is true of Seeding fruit trees, to a
considerable extent. Our choice varieties
OF fruit have been produced, in many in
stances, by high, if not over-cultivation /;
and it is an old remark, that the hardihood
of a tree is sacrificed by that culture
which produces superior quality of fruit.
We need not expect to produce trees that
will bear fruit the first year of as hardy a
nature as those which produce an inferior
variety. Yet We may do much to increase
the power Of endurance in the tender varie-
ties. Whatever is attempted must be done
during the period Of growth. The point to
be aimed at is to check the growth of the
wood early in the season, in order that the
wood may be rendered hard and firm before
winter. A dry autumn presents this end.
When rains are abundant and the weather
is warm, vegetation goes on rsPidly-often
ill arrested by sudden snap. after which
there is time for the process. But we can
not trust to the weather.

MAKING VINEGAR.-Y;negar, according
to writer in the Genesee Farmer is cheap
ly made. We republish his recipe: Tc
eight gallons of clear rain-water, add three
quarts of molasses; put into good cask
shake we'll few times, then add two OIL
three spoonfuls of good yeast cakes. If in
summer, place the cask in the sun; if in the
winter, near the chimney, where it may
warm. In ten or fifteen days add to this
liquid sheet of brown paper, torn in strips
dipped in molasses, and good vinegar will be
produced. The paper will, in this way.
form what is called the mother" or life OF
vinegar.
