rc,ources for defence Hal the rebels in

half the audacity they did in Mary land,
slo man who has any knowledge Of the
country along the line, can doubt that both
the Pennsylvania and North Central rail
roads could have been seriously injured,
sWhere these points are it is unnecessary
to state, but the fact that rebel cavalry were
within four hours gallop of the North Cen
;ral, and within days ride of an impor-
tant point on The Pennsylvania, with no
troops tchateUer at one and but few scat
tered guards at the other, ought to impress
upon our rulers that the Potomac ought
never to be suffered to be crossed by the
In the country we would recommend th'
formation of cavalry companies, as in cas-
Of an invasion Of Pennsylvania that class
Of troops would be most effective, and cal
most readily meet for drill. Every town
ship ought to have its company, the mem
'bers of which could learn to ride in squads
Or larger bodies, and thus make themselve:
useful in case of need. Let as prepare foi

4 GRIT YURAI,
Cuttings.

Currant, gooseberry, grape and auinco
cuttings should be made says the Ohio
Farmer, 'atter the wood is ripe, and before
the hard frosts, and should be eight inches
long. The cut should begin opposite the
base OF bud and end opposite the ton.
1hIs leaving bud at the bottom is to in
sure the rapid formation of roots Cur
rants grow SO readily as not to require the
cut to be at the bottom of bud. They
should be tied in bundles, with willow
bands, and buried out of doors, or in moss
or sand in a cool cellar In the spring they
will be beautifully calloused, and should be
planted as soon as the frost is out, in rich
sandy soil, (good garden soil - ten inches
apart, IN rows three and half feet apart
The object of this width, is to mellow the
soil, with a cultivator and double shovel
plow. To plant, walk on the line, pushing
hoe laid fat before you to mark; then re
move the line and insert in the mark O.
spade with its back towards you, about eight
inches deep, and move the handle backward
and forward then move the spade along,
its own width, and open again; this will
leave an opening about one inch wide and
about six inches deep. Insert the cuttings
and slant the long ones so as never to have
the lower end over six inches deep this
will secure warmth to the end Then tread
along the mark with foot on each side to
tasten the bottoms firmly; then haul in the
soil with hoe even with the top bud A
slight top-dressing of manure is beneficial
For currants the ground cannot be too rich,
but avoid fresh manures save for top dres
sing. The object in making cuttings early
in the winter is to avoid the severe frosts
and to insure the callousing during the
winter, thus giving an early start aud insu-
ring a good growth before the hot weather
Ounce cuttings should never be less than
eight inches to give room to bud them the
first year after transplanting. Sometimes
they are budded the currant season in the
rows; but the growth of the buds is so doubt
ful, and as they will be too thick in rows,
and cannot be transplanted without injury,
it is better to transplant at one year, trim
the roots, and then the bud. The August
ounce should be used for dwarfng pears
