tary Stewards house was entered on the same
night and he was repeatedly stabbed and is
probably MORALLY wounded.
The witness said that after reading this mes
sage to the crowd. Davis said, If it is to be
done it were better it was well DONE" Ga the
ject of the assassination, Breckenridge re-
marked to Davis, that he regretted it very
much. 1t was unfortunate for the people of
the South" At the time the regret seemed to
be the cause of sympathy for the South, and
not because of the c0mmittal of the act.
Davis responded, "Well, General, don't
know. If it were to be done at oil, it were
better it were we'll done, and # the same were
done to Andy johnson and Secretary Stanton,
the job would De complete"
j. o. Courtney, telegraph operator, testi-
fed that the telegram in question passed over
the wires.
Jacob Rietterspaugh testified hat he was EN-
ployed in FOrds Theatre when The President
was shot He says the assassin ran across the
STAGE and followed him. He found the door
hard to open. When witness returned Spang-
Ter struck him, saying. For Gods sake don't
say which way Booth went"
Witness was called for Harold, and said he
had always been regarded as light and trting
boy, and easily Influenced.
Joe Dyer was called for the defence and tes-
tilted that he intended to say he had not cross
ed the Potomac since 1851, but did go to Rich
mond at that time with the party who had

Our Domestic Wolves.

The wild wolf was never such de-
stroyer of sheep in Ohio as the domestic
dog, though in the early days of the
State bounty was paid for the scalp of
the former. We now have anti-dog laws,
but dogs still flourish and destroy. 1t
appears by the State Auditors report
that there were in April, 1864. 185,O34
dogs in Ohio, of which 98,593, val ,ed at
1884 ,935, were listed for taxation, leaving
86,441 not listed or taxed at ALL The
dogs would produce at the utmost rev.
enue of $5,000A
Italso appears by the Auditor s report,
that during the year 1863, there were killed
32,175 sheep, valued at S1O6,607, and %,
557 other sheep injured, to the amount
of $39,419, making an aggregate of $40.
026 of injury of sheep by dogs.
This is a decidedly bad showing for the
''worthles curs''-and yet nearly 100000
of the sheep worriers are permitted to
prowl over Ohio as freely as the wolves
did through the wilderness of half cen
tury ago. Stranger still-farmers own
large majority of the dogs and all the
sheep ....~.....

Gardens for Children.


A Michigan lady thus sensibly pleads
the cause of the young people:
"A great deal can be done to encour-
age horticultural tastes and industrious
habits in children. Why don't farmers
fence off little gardens for their large
boys and girls, and allow them to have all
they can raise from them? Put agricul-
tural papers in their hands, and encour-
age them to try. experiments in wheat
raising, cultivating Seeding fruits, ETC.
Put good magnifying glass into their
hands, that they may become acquainted
with their insect friends and enemies
To those old enough to appreciate and
take care of them, give choice plants
to cultivate, or what would perhaps
sometimes be better, let them earn mon
ey In some way and purchase them for
themselves. Don't turn them off with
an Isabella grape when it will not ripen
for you; let them have a Delaware or a
Concord, that they may be more sure of
a return for their labors. So of Straw
berries and other things. Excite in
them desire of excelling in raising fine
fruits and vegetables. Let them get up
childrens agricultural fairs and horticul-
tural societies for dicussion, etc. Don't
you think the Agricultural papers will be
studied if you do this, and don't you
think you will raise a family of intelli-
gent and well informed men and women ?
So Of domestic animals IF you have a
boy dozen years old, give him yoke of
calves to train; give the girls lambs,
and let them have the feeces as a reward
for good care, or allow them to raise
some fine COWS for themselves. Children
need objects to love, and Incentives to
faithful labor, and they will love home
all the more if you attach them to it by
pleasant memories and good kind instruc-
tiens.' Well said.

Fruit Trees.

Never prop up tree loaded with fruit,
to prevent the branches from breaking
down. Any branch or tree which re-
quires. proping, has more fruit than it
ought to carry, either for the good of the
tree, or the good of the fruit The first
thing to do is to remove the smaller, poor,
or knotty specimens. If this be done be-
fore growth has ceased, and sometimes
afterripeningha commenced, the improve
ment of the remaining portion will more
than compensate for the reduction in
number. In those regions where the
peach bears only occasionally, the owners
often attempt to get all they can by al
lowing an over-abundant crop to remain.
They will get quite as many bushels by
removing one-haf or wo-thirds, and OBJ
tain an immense superiority in flavor
Many cultivators have observed that the
last ripeping peaches on tree are incom-
parabIy better than the frst-mereIy be-
cause they are not crowded. How much
better would they be by removing the
crowded portion before ripening. If you
wish to have good, healthy, uniformly
growing trees, not destroyed by prema-
ture age, do not let them over-bear

keep stock off Meadows.

Many meadows are seriously injured
by stock in the spring months. They
are permitted to run upon them when
the frost is leaving the ground, which is
soft and easily cut by the hoofs of horses
and cattle. The scanty picking they get
will not begin to compensate for the dam
age they cause the meadows. When the
ground is soft, as it always is in the spring,
stock should be carefully excluded. It
is also very bad policy to pasture mead
ows in the fall Every spring it is gener-
ally eaton off, and the-ground and roots
are left cold and naked If the growth,
after cutting the grass, has been left, it
would have acted as mulehin, keeping the
roots warm and uninjured by the severe
marth laying upon the ground all winter
is equivalent to a covering of snow, which
all know to be beneficial to land.-rVal-
