two feet Of the ground, or the bearing
wood will get too high. The next, is to
pinch In the ends of the bearing branches,
two or three joints beyond the last bunch
OF grapes, soon after the bloom is over
and the berries well formed. Leave two
oi the strongest branches untouched, to
make bearing wood for the next year.
~ the vines now grow rapidly, tho
trahches OF the young wood should be
lied up 10 the stake or trelis with rye
straw or other ties, or they will be brok-
en OIL by the wind. Take three rye straws,
cut OF the heads, bind the young shoot
to the stake, and fasten by twisting the
ends under, as in binding sheaf of wheat
1t is very simple.
The lateral shoots, that spring from the
ends of the leaf, will have to be cut of
from the bearing canes intended for test
year, as high s the top of the stake, then
let them alone. The latcrals from the
fruit bearing branches, will in many in
st'sl1ees, have to bo removed, to give light
ana air to the fruit. AT the same time,
the fruit must have shade enough to pro-
tect 1t from the scorching sun.
1t the rotappears, stop cultivating and
pruning until 1t ceases; merely tie up the
vines.
Never break of the ends of the bearing
wool for the next year; it might cause the
premature starting of the fruit buds.
Never remove the leaves from the bearing
branches; they are the lungs Of the plant,
and necessary to mature the fruit Our
cultivators here, do not now favor close
summer pruning. These directions can
be applied 10 trellis training, as well as to
stake. X. BUCHANAN, Clifton, May 10Th,
1862.
The danger Of starting next years fruit
blls premasurely may be obyia,ed hy
stopping the lateral, at one leaf instead
Of cutting them off close to the cane, as
may be inferred from his directions. The
danger Of accidentally breaking off the
joints Of these canes, and the actual ne.
cassity Of }iRcl,ng them IN when growing
vigorously late in the season, make it ne
cessary the we guard in early summer
pruning, against the premature bursting
OF next years fruit buds.
As yet, believe that mildow or rot
are unknown among the vines in this sec
ton. A.

Next to the war the grape question
comes, in far more general interest just
now IN our neigFiborhood than any other
topic.
II is hard To find garden without It's
vine, and often we find them turned into
regular vineyards. And why should they
not be! When gentleman living near
the city has for two year cleared over S75
per annum on his grapes, raised on patch
of ground fifty feet square, and this year
they promise better than ever before.
What other crop will produce equal re-
suits
The people are awakening on this sub
ject, but like all new avocations, it is but
impertecly understood and must be un
til the experience Of tho pioneers can be-
come generally dliiused amongst the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Robert Buchanan of Cincinnati is
one of the pioneers in the wine grape
business in this country, and We have
clipped from an exchange his mode of
treating the vine during summer:
ROBERT BucHAxAN's MODE.
At your request, will give you brief
account of summer Pruning" in our
vineyards as practlced by myself and 9TH
ers. You are aware that vineyard cul-
ture Of the grape, for wine making, is a
system OF dwartiDg the vine; the object
being to obtain, in the most simple form,
and least cost, wine grape, rich in
saocharine matter. We therefore plant
close (generally three by six, or four by
seven or eight feet apart, and train OH
low trellises, or to a single stake--the lat
ter preferred.
In spring pruning. We leave cane or
branch Of the last years growth. of ten or
fourteen joints, to be bent round in the
form Of bow, and fastened to the stake
with willow tie. This is to bear the
crop, and will usually set from twenty to
thirty lunches, which the rot or other
casualties may reduce to fifteen or twenty,
and that will be enough. A spur of
two joints is also left to bear new wood
for the next years crop, and also few
lunches Of grapes. 1t will thus be seen,
that the whole strength Of the vine being
thrown into few punches, the fruit
must, Of necessity, be rich in sugar, the
great essential III making a good wine,
that will keep and improve by age,
by long pruning, | can produce double
the Quantity Of grapes ON the same vine,
but they will not be wine grapes, nor will
the vine be as lasting. Wide planting
will admit Of longer pruning, and heavier
crop to each vine: because the vine
which is selfish plant--will have more
nourishlnsnt, and light and air.
The irst process in summer pruning, is
to rub off the suckers that spring out
from the stalk, near the ground, It Is
well, however, to leave one to grow, if
the stalk is getting too high, that in two
or three years the old wood may be cut
down to this. The heads Of the stalks
should be kept down to within ono or

The Kansas Legislature voted to adjourn on
"Wednesday, the 18th inst, and the Senate,
having the impeachment casee before it, Is to
meet in June, US special court for the trial Of
Gov. Robinson, the Secretary Of State and the
Auditor. Gov. Robinson threatened to veto
the bill conycning the Senate In June, as also
the appropriation bill which included an item
to pay expenses Of the trial, but the State At
forney General told lin very sharply that he
dare not do it, and it was not expected he
would. The Senate has made good prepare
ton Tor The trial By ousting four OF its num-
Der who held military commissions under Gov.
Robinson, and by so much the more are the
chances improved that the impcachcd officers
will be removed. Senator Stevens, Of Law
renee, The accomplicc Of Robinson in the S50,-

may be difficult to make case ssainst him

A Rebel LIe4tenAnt General.

The Southern people have been c1amorous
for new war policy-a policy OF aggression
and fnyasion-and for new man to introduce
it. JEFF. Davis does not hare. the confidence
of his own confederates, as has been shown In
the denunciatory articles of the Richmond
Whi9.:~: We are the better prepared, therefore,
for the movement that has begun in the rebel
Congress to plaee Robert Toombs at the head

Later adyices from the South would indi-

that Hon. Robert Toombs of Gcorgia had been
named Lieutenant General under it. The reb-
els were building great faith in this. They
were even confident OF invading the Free
States! but where, or how, was not stated.
AS another step in the new programme,
Gen. Robert E. Lee, one Of the fiye senior Of

been passed in Congress enabling him to do so

heLfe0c0m60k III Public EKpenRe4s
The heavy burden Of taxatisn which the
people will hereafter for some years be
obliged to bear on account of the var, warns
them to greater economy In public rs well as
private expenses, and beginning with Con
gress, the work Of 'scutting down. salaries
and fees has now nearly run through the list
Of Federal, State aud Municipal fnnctionaries.
It will be interesting to gather some informa-
ton on this point-how much will be saved
to the people every gear. It is not expected
that enough will be saved to cqualize the new
Federal taxation, but If that is heavy, the say
ing elsewhere is also enormous. The Les1sla-
ture Of Kentucky has been devising how it
may save $22o0, 600 on salaries, jury fees, etc.
Cincinnati has reduced the salaries Of munich
pal officers $4,000. The State Of Ohio cuts
of twenty Per cent. eyerywhcrc-a saving of
several hundred thousand. Iowa makes 8. re-
dnction Of about $1,000 in only one or two
items. The Massachusetts and New York
Legislatures are hard ut work on the same
subject Of retrenchment. Lucrative civil off
Gee will not be the order of politics for some
years. We have not the figures at hand, but
believe the expenses Of our popular govern
ments-Fedcral, State and local-hay been
estimated at somo s200, o,00 annually.
Twenty Per cent. is an assistance Of fifty mil
lions towards the Federal tax, or equal to
about one-third Of it.
