THREE HINTS FOR THE SEAsoN.-Be sure
and cover the bits of your brides with leather,
to prevent the frost from making the mouth of
your horse sore; it is downright cruelty to
put an iron bit into a horses mouth on a cold
morning. If you doubt it, bit yourself some
day when the mercury stands 10 to 20 de-
grees below zero.
When you cut india rubber, keep the blade
of your knife wet, and you can then cut it
without difficulty.
We have heard of and tested a great many
kinds of waterproof backing for winter
boots. Let us tell you what we have tried for
two winters, and found to be the best article
that we know of. When your boots are stiff,
and you think need oiling, wash them in
CASTLE soap suds-oil before the leather dries
(you may use black ball or any kind of grease);
have a saturated solution of gum sheliac in
alcohol (anybody can make it, as all there
is to be done is to put in pint or half-pint of
alcohol just as much shellac as the liquid will
take up, and apply this solution with a sponge
to the oiled boots. In two or three minutes
the shellac will dry and harden, and you will
have coating on your boot through which
the water cannot by any possibility penetrate.
Try it, reader.
On Friday last we prepared single upper
leather boot in this way, and, notwithstanding
we went about in the ''slOsh" during the day,
we had perfectly dry feet at night.-B, uas

FRUIT GROWERS MEETINGS. = Weekly
meetings are held each Thursday, at two
o'clock P. NJ, in the rooms of the American
Agriculturist, Al Park Row and 151 Nassau
street, which all interested are freely invited
to attend. The active participators are either
amateurs or those interested in growing fruits
or fruit trees for market, and the discussions
which are had over this or that variety, the
different modes of cultivation, the various
means of propagation, and especially the Sc
lection of kinds best adapted to family wants,
are very interesting and valuable.
A question of much importance to persons
who contemplate planting pear trees, has just
been decided after weeks OF discussion and
comparison of views. 1t is the adoption of a
list of twenty varieties of pears most suitable
to plant in the vicinity of New York, mainly
for family use, but with some regard to mar
ket, the whole to comprise one hundred trees,
ripening in succession, so as to prolong the
pear season for five or six months. The fol-
lowing is the list -

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-Army advices say
that the rebels still occupy Z fredericksburg
with small force to dispute the crossing of
the river. Some guns yester day eopened on
two ravines on the opposite side of the river,
through which the railroad passes. The re-
suit is, that no trains have run since. 1t rained
heavily yesterday afternoon, swelling the river
to an unusual height. No news from the en-
envy.
Philadelphia, Nov. PA Williamsport
letter to the Baltimore American says, that on
the 10Th Gen. SaXton sent a reconnaissance
from Harpers Ferry toward Charlestown,
which encountered four hundred rebels above
Haltown, driving them through Charlestown,
and shelhng them at every opportunity. Sew
eral houses in Charlestown were fired by the
shells. One or two were killed. The rebels
made a slight demonstration on our outpostS
near Falling Waters, on the Virginia side of
the river, and were driven back. Our men
retired nearer to the town for the night.

New YORK, Nov. 21.-The merchants of
this city made an urgent appeal to Gen. Banks
to-day to address them at the Merchants Ex-
change, but pressing public duties compelled
him to respectfully decline the honor. Gen.
Banks paid a visit to Gen. Scott to-day, in
company with Gen. Augur. The interview
is said to have been of highly interesting
character. He also paid visit with his staff
to Gen. Mcclellan.

From Fort Monroe,

across that river, by our forces.

The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th, reports
the arrival of one hundred ''abolitionists,"
captured at Smokers Ferry. Its editorial
speaks of the utter hopelessness of recognition
by foreign powers.
dispatch from Raleigh dated Nov. 18th,
says: ga gentleman from Albemarle county
says there are no Yankee gunboats on Abe
marie Sound, and that they have gone to
to James river. This is explicable by either
hypothesis, that the enemy are coming on us
from Fredericksburg, or are about to be trans
ported to the Suffolk line of advance. 1t in
dictates work on one side or the other. News
from the United States tells us that the Moni-
tor has steamed down the Potomac, perhaps
to take pert in the movement"
The Enquirer says, Gen. Gustavus w.
Smith is officiating as secretary of war, Gen.
Randolph having certainly resigned that po-
sition. Monday morning as the enemy was
marching on fredericksburg orders were
gwen to destroy all the cotton and tobacco IN
town, and were promptly executed. Several
pyramids of cotton were soon destroyed; and
auout 1000 boxes of tobacco belonging to
spectators, were tumbled into the Kappa
II nnock. In the afternoon the enemy APP
peared on the opposite side of the river in
grea. force, and with guns superior to ours.
The enemy are already in Falmouth. Our
loss in the recent engagement was one killed,
three wounded, and twelve or fifteen taken
prisoners.

New YoRR, Nov. PA Newbern letter
dated Nov. l4th, from headquarters, states
that Gen. Fosters expedition repulsed three

pushe,l on to Williamson and Hamilton,
where the rebels were entrenched behind
three miles of Notifications and breastworks.
The rebels were thanked, but escaped bagging
by Eight. No iron~clads were discovered, as
expected. Our total loss was six killed and
eight wounded.
Two additional companies of volunteers
have been raised on Hatteras banks. 1t is
stated that jeff Davis is seriously debating
the abandonment of North Carolina, as it is
dead weight to the confederacy, and serious
difference exists between Vance and himself.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 2O.-Col. Dis has routed

main body of the rebels escaped through

NASHVILLE, Nov. 2O.-Brownlow and May

latter declared that the rebels must submit

The Urbaniste is recommended with the re-
mark that it comes late into bearing, and the
De Tongres is a new French pear of good
promise. A person wishing to plant fifty trees
would, of course, set One-half the number of
each sort, and if less than twenty varieties
are enough, select mostly from those with the
highest numbers, keeping in view the success
sion. The period of ripening may be much
further extended by putting the Bartlett and
other early sorts in an ice-house for a month,
and keeping winter varieties in cool cellar
or building until wanted for use or for mar
ket, when few days exposure in warm
room will mellow and color them up finely.
