Naturally HARD to Tell the Truth,

"TimotLy Titcomb" has a keen scalp
ell, and he thus dessects men on the sub
iect of truth-telling: 81 have known en-
inent men who had not the power to state
a fact, in its whole volume and outline,
because, first, they could not comprehend
it perfectly, and. second, because, their
power of expression was limited. The
lenses by which they apprehended their
facts were not adjusted properly, so they
saw everything with blur. Definite out
line, clearly cut edges, exact apprehen-
sion of volume and weight, nice measure
ment of relations, were matters outside
of their observation and experience
They had broad minds, but bungling; and
their language was no better than their
apprehensions- usually it was worse, be-
cause language is rarely as definite as
apprehension. Men rarely do their work
to suit them, because their tools are i'm
perfect There are men in all Commu-
mites who are believed to be honest, yet
whose word is never authority upon any
subject. There is a flaw or a warp some
where in their perceptions, which prevents
them from receiving truthful impressions.
Everything comes 10 them distorted, as
natural objects are distorted by reaching
the eye through wrinkled window-glass.
Some are able to apprehepd fact and
state it correctly, if it have no direct re-
lation to themselves; but the moment
their personality, or their personal inte-
rest, Is involved, the fact assumes false
proportions and false colors. | know a
physician whose patients are always al
armingly sick when he is first called 10
them. As they usually get well, am
bound to believe that he is good ply
sician; but l am not bound TO believe
that they are all as sick at the beginning
as he supposses them to be. The first
violent symptoms operate upon his i'm
agination and excite his fears, and his
opinion as to he degree of danger at
taching to the diseases of his patients is
not worth half so much as that of any
sensible old nurse. In fact, nobody yIhinks
of taking il at all; and those who know
him, and who hear his sad Representations
of the condition of his patients, show
equal distrust of his word and faith IN
his skill, by taking it for granted thai
they are in fair way TO get well"

the ground being pulveTlZed by the win
ter frosts, and setlled around the roots
he is not prepared to say, but the effec
he has observed.
Light or shoal blowing and cullivatiny
down, following the previous fall blowing
is very beneficial 10 trees. Fall plowinl
seems TO delay or backen the buds i
spring, and thus the early frosts ar
avoided in some measure.
Mr.. James Shuster, engaged twenty
six years in orchards, thought the Tree
should be plowed as early as possible il
the spring, if not practicable postpon,
till June-plow shoal. Plow in autumn
while vegetation is green. Has made th,
experiment of sailing trees; to youn.
trees half pint; if three years old
pint, &c. After early blowing the tree
should be kept we'll trimmed until three
years old after that time but little, ex
cept thinning out the branches where
fruit cannot grow, but never trim excep
when the tree is in leaf.
Mr.. Richard Semans has an orchard
rising three years old-has kept vel
trimmed and is of rapid growth. II wa:
materially affected by the frost in May
and the manner is unacccuntable. In tie
middle of the orchard two rows o. trees
were unaffected by the frost-the residue
materially injured-leaves had the ap.
pearance of being parched, and fell of,
Examined the trees through a microscope
and ascertained that it was the frost and
not an insect that had done the injury.
Mr.. Daniel Corbltt--Does not trim till
two years old; after that thin them con.
siderable; thinks the side shoots sustain
the body.
Mr.. Semans--Trimming before the
sap starts causes the tree to decay; the
wounds do not heal soon. If trimmed in
May or June they heal Immediately.
A majority of the meeting thought the
trees should be trimmed while growing.
Mr.. Fennimore thinks "worming''
necessary, and "worms" twice, in May
and September.
Il. Mr.. Griffith thinks gas tar applied 70
the body near the soil is a preventative
10 borers. Applied 70 old trees, affected
with many worms, four years ago has
discovered 10 worms Stree.
Mr.. Semans worms the trees by taking
the dirt from them The first of May ex-
amines for the worm with knife where
the gum oozes. When trees were four
years old, after removing soil, applied
quick lime and strong pickle mixed; put
it on with a mop; first scraped the rough
bark of. Quite successful, only small
number of worms afterwards found.
Mr.. D. B. Stewart has applied coal
ashes successfully against the borer.
r. Fl. Cummins applied air-slacked
lime around the collar Of the tree, half
q peck TO each, and found it beneficial.
Mr. Semans has found (wood ashes
the best fertilizer for young trees; re-
moves the earth from around the collar Of
the tree and applies a shovel full.
Mr.. Fennimore thinks there IS nothing
better than ashes as q fertilizer, half a
gallon to a tree. he thinks the best kinds
for cultivation and market are Froth's

LIQUOR SpILLED.-About the best thing
we have heard of lately, occurred in AL
bany on Wednesday last. 1t appears
that one John Martin has been in the
habit of selling liquor to those who have
no more respect for themselves than to
drink his vile stuff, and which greatly
disguised the ladies in his vicinity, and
they determined to put an end to the traf-
fc for short time at least. Five of them
accordingly made visit to the said Mar
tin birds house, when he was absent, got
the key to his hole, entered it, took four
barrels of his rot-gut, turned the faucets,
and set it drizzling upon his dirty floor.
They then looked around for further prey,
when they found several bottles of the
contraband, which they smashed to fin
ders all of which said Martin values at
500, and those who have apprized it, at
$50. Good for the women of Albany
They know their duty, and are not afraid
to perform it.-Standard.

GREAT MoRTALITY.-We don't believe
that the record Of the Asiatic cholera in
our large cities will show greater per
cent Of mortality than has the diptheria
in Caledonia county. And certainly tho
latter is more to be dreaded on one ac-
count as cholera will rage only at a GER
tain season, while diptheria, like the po-
cts Death, has "all seasons for its own"
In last weeks Caledonian, were recorded
twelve deaths by this disease, eight of
them in two families, and four in one
family in the space Of II days! Is there
no successful remedy--no checking the
monstrous strike of this fell destroyer p
Caledoaaian.

Horrible Tragedy.

4. terrible affair-the horrible work of
the demon of rum-occurrel in SINNERS
Lane, last night One of the old wooden
buildings which compose that notorious
locality, has been occupied of late by
VIM. Barnet and his wife, living alone in
the house. He is an Englishman, sort
of cattle doctor or farrier, also gaining
his livelihood in part by such jobs as the
cleaning of sink holes and privies. His
wife was an Irishwoman, whom, it is said,
he married in Quebec. The testimony be.
fore the coroner's inquest, shows that
both were VIGOROUSLY Incorporate, and
when drunk were very quarrelsome.
About | o'clock this morning, some of
the ncighbors were aroused by Barnet,
who told them tn his wife had cut her
throat. Sheriff Flanagan and DR.. Thayer
were summoned, and revolving scene was
soon disclosed. On the bed, in small
bedroom up stairs, lay the dead body of
a woman in her customary apparel, her
throat cut from ear to ear, her right arm
extended above her head and holding
bloody knife-a coarse, dull bread-knife
or butcher-knife with wooden handle
the bed clothing and pillow soaked with
blood, and the wall spattered and stained
with the same terrible witness of crime
The evidence would seem to leave no
room for doubt, that it was murder, and
that she died by the hand of her drunken
partner.-Bwltmgtom Free Press.

SAD ACcIDENT.-There was terrible
accident near the McLeran depot, one day
last week, is briefly alluded to elsewhere
by correspondent. We have learned
more particulars in regard to this sad af-
fair. 1t appears that young Fay had just
received present of new rife from his
father, and at this time was out trying it,
Col. Fay was in conversation with Mr..
Samuel Bailey, near the latter's house,
when he was struck by the ball. He i'm
mediately asked what that noise was, and
was answered that it sounded like the
whizzing of ball. He then said he was
shot; and stepping forward eight or ten
feet sat down upon the ground, and lying
over upon his back brcathed his last in
about five minutes. 1t seems young Fay
was firing at bird some 35 or 40 rods
distant, and most unfortunately his father
stood in direct range, receiving the ball
in his heart. This is a terrible warning
to all who handle firearms. 1t is only a
year since we recorded the death of a
young man in this same town who came
to an untimely end through his careless
ness with gun, and now we have to
chronicle another equally as sad case
