1'HE UGLY HoosIER.-A Hoosier, an
awful ugly man, relating his travels in
Missouri, said that he arrived in Chicken
Vile in the afternoon, and just few days
before there had been'a boat busted, and
a heap of people scslded and killed one
way and another. So at last | went into
a grocery a squad of people followed in,
and one bowed and said It's one of the
unfortunate sufferers by the Dustin" of
the franklin. Upon that he asked me to
drink with him, and as | put the tumbler
to my mouth, he stopped me Of sudden
with,
81 beg your pardon, stranger, but,
"But WHAT" says |.
"Jist fix yer mouth that way agin, sez
he
/ done it just as ! was gwine to drink,
aud III be hanged if | didn't think they
would all 90 into fits. They yelled and
whooped like gang Of wolves. Finally
one of them sez:
Don't make fun of a poor unfortu-
nate: he's hardly got over bein' blowed
up yet. Lets us make up puss." =
They all throwed in and made up five
dollars. As the spokesman handed me
the change, he axed me:
"Where did you find yourself after the
'splosion:'
"In fiat boat sez I.
" How fur from the Franklin ?" he in
quired.
" Why sez I, "I never seed, but as
nigh as can guess, about three hundred
and seventy five miles" You'd oughtcr
seen that gang scatter.

Shall Apple Orchards be Cultivated9

This question has been raised by
an experienced horticulturist, who
contends that they should not, while
the mass of opinion is decidedly the
other way. The Philadelphia Ctpl-
tppist has the following remarks on
the subject:
"We have known orchards to bear
fruit well, which for many years were
permitted to lie in grass, but evcntu-
ally they gave out, and ceased to be
productive. On the other hand, we
know of orchards which for thirty
years have been cultivated as regu-
larly as other portions of the farm,
and the results have been the contin-
ued health of the trees, and unless
destroyed by frost, regular average
annual yield. The stirring of the
soil appeared to impart new energy
to the trees. They not only presen-
ted a healthy and vigorous appear
ance, but yielded handsome returns
yearly The crops, it is true, may
not have been as luxuriant as on those
parts of the farm not SO much sha-
ded, but every bushel of oats, corn,
potatoes or turnips might properly be
set down as so much clear gain. 1t
is well to remember that deep plow-
ing in an orchards not advisable. A
good evidence of the value of cultiva-
tion is shown by the fact that when
trees run to wood, and yield little or
no fruit, the luxuriant growth OF the
wood can be readily checked, and
fruitfulness promoted by putting the
orchard in grass for a couple of years.
If, at the end of that period, shallow
plowing is resorted to, the beneficial
effects will be apparent to the most
casual observer" +"

New YORK, August "a. private
dispatch from Washington to-day says
our news through rebel sources is all en-
couraging. The capture of Mobile is
confidently expected, and we learn from
the front that great excitement exists
among the rebels both at Richmond and
Atlanta Military men here say that
Sherman will undoubtedly take advantage
of the confusion Of the rebels and we
look for some accounts Of battle at any
moment.
Averill's victory in the Valley is con
frmod. His loss was very slight, and he
captured from five hundred to six humid
red prisoners, and all the rebel artillery.
This and the report from Mobile have
made our Washington officials very happy
to-day.

and of better quality. 1t will com
