KANSAS FRUIT.

We have been shown by Mr.. Mckinley, of
Kenton, a specimen Of wild plum, which lie
calls the Chickasaw Il is of dark orange
color, slightly tinged with red, and of larger
size than any wild plum we ever saw. 1t is
very sweet AMI we'll favored, leaving none of
that puckery taste which is generally the
characteristic of the wild plums. The trees
from which these were taken have never been
trans planted, but have simply been trimmed,
which Is all the pains that have been taken with
them If this wild plum can be so improved
from the original by the slight care which MIR
Mckinley has taken of it, thorough cultivation
would give us fruit, indigenous to the coun'
try, equal to the Damson. Mr.. Mcfarland. OF
Junction, also has some of these plums. If the
people would but give the fruits natural to our
soil and climate that attention which they de-
serve, we should be most beautifully supplied.
In this connection we would most earnestly
enjoin upon all who possibly can to set out
orchards. There can be no dout in any man s
mind that this is ruit country. Everything
tends to show it. There are peach orchards in
our immediate vicinity so loaded down with
fruit that the trees have to be propped up.
They are but few, it is true, but they might
Just as well have been many. Procrastination
is all that is depriving US of an abundance Of
this fruit People are too apt to defer from
time to time the setting out of fruit trees, one OF
the most impo. tant attachments OF good
farm. Nothing but negligence or lack of
energy will keep us from having an abundance
of fruit hereafter The fact that it can be
raised must be apparent to every mind-peach

Set out the trees then. Do it this fall. Do
not wait until next spring; now is the accepted
time A years growth will be gained by set

been proved by actual experience.

"GoNE TO WAR"-Such was the inscription
we received upon a newspaper wrapper from our
Philadelphia correspondent, WILLIAM H. LEES,
whose interesting and graphically-written letters
over the non de plume of " PHLos. have become
the admiration of our readers. Amid the activity
of soldiers life in the Army of the Potomac, at
present, we fear he will find but little time to
continue his excellent epistles. Our mind runs
back to the time when we stood side by side
his rapid, unceasng click" beat upon our ears.
Il follows him. Now the click of his "shoot-
ing stick" is telling on the rebel columns, {"
giving Peace and Freedom to the country-then,
defending tie orthodoxy of Westminster. We
have no idea that there will be any difference in
his andling of the two "sticks." His correct
ness, neatness, and rapidity, in the one, will be
carried out in his new vocation, by his patriot
ism, intelligence, and pure and upright char
acter.
But levty aside, our heart ached when we
read the words, "Gone to War;" for they carried
our mind to the bloody banks of the Potomac.
whereon he may be risking that life to which
we have good reason to be strongly attached.
What typo, with typos heart, can weigh his
obligations to him who gives his last red" to
strapped brother! Such was our predicament;
and Time can never efface from our memory he
who so generously aided US. His pleasant dis
position, good character and fine mind, will
deeply impress all with whom he may meet de
has been kept from serving has Country, as he
would, thus long, by physical defect, but his
convictions of duty have overcome that May
the Almighty protect him amid the havoc of
War, and may he return home, there to enjoy
himself to a ripe old age.

the robbers went to the Cherokee Country. The
