=, ANOTHER MAN Dno wNED.-It IS our pain.
full duty to record another death by drown
ing in the river opposite this place. Tues-
day evening, little after dark, = young
German, who has been cook at Huffs Ho-
tel, went into the river with I comrade,
bathing, and no. being able to swim. acci:
IDENTIFY went into deep water and was drown:
led before assistance could roach him. He
was a steady, industrious young mar. and
had but recently come to this country. He
has Sister living at the hotel. the only rel
|ative in this State. The body had not been
recovered at noon to. day. This makes the
fifth person who has been drowned within
the past two weeks. Great care should be
taken by those who go in bathing, as in the
usual place where people 60 in, the water is
deep, runs very, swift, and there is number
Of eddies which would endanger the lives Of
persons who are good swimmers.-N.
APPLEs.-We have heretofore freq uent:y
put on record the evidences that this region
can successfully raise apples. Mr. Batch
elder Of our neighboring town Of Trempea
leau. across tie river: has just placed upon
our table some fine specimens from his or.
chard. Some 0! the citizens of that place
early gave their attention to fruit culture,
and are now richly rewarded for their labors.
Mr. B. tells US that he has raised all. his
trees could safely carry for the past four
years. Another gentleman Of : that, place
raised last year twenty four varieties. The
trees that have been properly attended to
present the most healthy and thrifty ap:
pearnce, and the greatest difficulty with
them is, their burdens Of fruit are apt to be
greater than the strength OF the trees will
bear. Some Of Mr.. BIS apples last year
measured over twelve inches in circumfer
ance. Pears, plums, of different varieties,
and other fruits there are showing similar
results. We shall hereafter claim that We
can not only successfully grow these finits,
but can do so more successfully than in
other latitudes noted for fruit culture. III.
AN lMPosrEn.-A person dressed in mil
itary clothes, with one arm and leg, and a
wound in the face, is going about the city,
getting contributions under prstense of being
member ofvur First Regiment, wounded
at Fair Oaks. W. learn. on good authority
that he is an imposter-a person who never
was in the army, but got hurt in some way,
and is now getting sympathy on false s.o
ry. lie is, Of course, entitled to aid as
cripple, but should not seek to gain that re
spect and sympathy which one of our brave
wounded volunteers always commands

THE trade ofhorse-stealing continues good
