A TNRRIBLE TRAGEGY.-Last night ter.
rible tragedy was enacted in my cattle-fOld
by two daring lions. The night was in
tensely dsrk. with occasional rain; aud
fearing lions might select such night 10
surprise their prey, sat up watching until
late hour. / had just lain down, remark
ing 10 my friend, that In case Of visit
from these brutes the oxen would give the
alarm, when on sudden there arose an
awful scream, followed by death-like
grOan, such as shall never fOrget; the We.
ry recollection of il chills my blood. Two
lions had entered the enclosure and sue.
cceded in carrying away poor fellow,
whom they tore to pieces and devoured
within a short distance Of our camp. We
neither could nor dared attempt rescue.
The unfortunate man was lying in his hut
With his wife, aud two children, when one
OF the monsters forced bis way through
from the back, and seized him, at the same
time inticting two wounds upon The wO.
man. The poor wretch in his hurried exit,
had evidently. 10 endeavoring 10 save
himself, laid hold Of the poles Of the hovel.

His party were forty DAYS from here to the Col

He did not 90 to the mines, but to the town OF
La Paz, from whence the mines are distant

Indians. on account OF the extreme heat. There
is no dispute of the richness Of the mines. Mr.

A NEW PACIFIC STATE.-The Portland,
(Oregon) Times thinks that the new gold fields
Of that portion OF Washington Territory lying
east Of the Cascades, will attract large emf
grafton to that region. and lead 10 its speedy
settlement. The arabic lands will be occupied
and cultivated, and the farmers will find profit
able markets in the dggings. The completion
of the Fort Benton road opens the country to
easy communication with the East, and the
Homestead law will lead many to settle in its
fine valleys. Hence the country east Of the
Cascade range ofmountains is destined at no
distant period, to assume such importance and
contain such a population as will cause it to be
set off as a new territory, and speedily grow TO
a stature emitting it to be received as State
into the Union.

one Of the staple products Of our State. There
Is now a favorable opening for the cultivation
Of this plant, and the farmers should avail them
selves OF its advantages. The seed is always

Interesting to Fruis Growers,

ANY person travelling through the coun-
try will observe general decay Of fruit
trees. Old orchards in particular, are in
many locations an entire failure. What is
to be done? Are we to recuperate and
prevent further decay? SO far as the vim
ters have influence, we probably need not
hope any change, unless the severity be
abated Extreme warm wether. followed
| Immediately BY extreme cold has been the
cause, think, of the general decline OF fruit
trees. Then the borers and mice have
made strange havoc among young trees
set row OF trees, some third of mile,
near the wall. some five years since. Now
there are very few remaining, aud several
of those were saved by inserting scions
across the wounds inflicted by mice-there-
by carrying the sap from top to the root.
have recently examined an invention called
a "Tree Protector" by Homer B. Record,
of Turner. consisting of shield and bon
net. The shield prevents the mice. borers
and other insects from access 70 the trunk of
the tree, while the bonnet prevents them
from ascending into the branches. The ma
terial used is wire cloth, light canvas or
what may be equivalent. The cloth is cut
SO as to go about one third around the tree
and to extend upward about one foot. 1t is
slightly enlarged at the bottom SO as to con
form 70 the tree. The top of the shield is
provided with an elastic band. somewhat
larger than the part of the shield to
which it is attached and expands with the
growth of the tree. The bonnet is compos-
ed of the "a ne material, in the form of
cane, and goes around the tree above the
shield with which il may be connected by
a small wire, or it may be detached. This
too is supplied with an elastic band, SO as to
expand with the growth of the tree. The
bands pass around the tree and fastened
with a hook or button. The under side of
the bonnet is smeared with tar, then a quaO
tity of cotton or its equivalent applied,
W hch adheres closely to the bonnet. Thus
it will be seen that all insects that attempt to
ascend the trunk Of the tree will become en-
tangled in the bonnet and there die together
with their Larvae. The expense for small
trees will be from ten to fifteen cents,
think.
Fruit growers should examine this appar.
atus and satisfy themselves of its utility
I see no reason why it should not produce
the desired result Maine Farmer.

To EIaise Giant Asparagus.

Mr.. Downing, in one of the early vol
umes of the Hoyt,cuAurist; tells how to grow
common asparagus. SO that it will always
rival any giant production. He says: Eve
ry one who has seen nv beds; has begged
me for the seed--thinking it q new sort
but have pointed TO the manure heap The
farmers best bank, and told them that the
secret all lay there. The seed was only
such as might be had in every garden.--
About the lst of November--as soon as the
frost has well blackened the asparagus tops
Il take a scvthe, and NOW all close down
to the surface Of the bed; let it lie day or
two. then set fire to the heap of stalks; burn
it to ashes, and spread the ashes over the sur
face of the bed. then go to my barnyard;
l take load Of clean, fresh stable manure,
and add thereto half bushel of hen dung:
turning over and mixing the whole togeth-
er throughout. This makes pretty pow
erful compost. | apply one such load to
every twenty feet in length of my asparagus
beds, which are six feet wide. With a
strong three -pronged spud. or fork, l dig
this dressing under. The whole is now lett
for the winter. In the spring, as early as
possible, turn the top of the bed over
lightly, once more. Now, as the asparagus
grows naturally on the side of the ocean
and loves salt water, l give it an annual
supply OF its favorte condiment. | cover
the surface of the bed about a quarter of an
inch with fine packing salt; it is not too
much. As the spring rains come down 1t
gradually dissolves. Not weed will ap-
pear during the whole season. Every thing
else-pig. weed, chicken weed, purslane-
all refuses 10 grow on the top of my briny
asparagus beds. But it would do your eyes
good to see the strong, stout, tender stalks
of the vegetable itself pushing through the
surface early in the season. l do not at all
stretch point, when l say that they are
o. ten as large round as my hoe-handle AMI
as tender and succulent as any ever tasted.
The same round of treatment Is given to my
bed every year.
