WINTER APPLES,

II is quite an art 10 keep winter ap-
pies well. But w,know how to do it.
They will rot in spite Of the best in
tended efforts. The art of keeping
them well begins with the gathering,
They should be picked, by, hand mot
shaken off the tree. They are thus
kept from bruises Some argue they
should bapgon the tree as long as spos-
sibIe and be safe from the FROST, They
contend the fruit should be allowed to
rircn on the tree This is the general
opinion. Bat we think it an erroneous
one. We know of several Of our most
successful orchardists who believe in
gathering winter fruit early in the fall.
4 heighbor Of ours having an. orchard
on the road near the city, is comhelled
10 pick his fruit very early. to save it
from being stolen; and his apples keep
sound and. in fine condition long after
ter their season. He stores them in
out houses at first, and let them remaiii
there till thero, is danger Of frost.
when they are taken to the cellar In
the North the season is much shorter
than here; and ffuit growers are CONF
pelled 10 picl, earlier than wo are ;and
vet their fruit keeps as ours or bgtter.
As soon as the leaves lose their vitali-
ty and begin to fall, picking can bH
commenced. They can be put in heaps
in the orchard, and kept there as long
astho weather will permitw57aId until
they have nndefgphe the sweatingo op.
Grafton, whentNey can be safely pack
cd in barrels, or put in bins in the Gel
lar. II put in heaps III. tho orchard, it
would be we'll to cover them with straw
a foot or so in depth. This will keep
ont the rains and frost, and allow Of
the escape Of the moisture. The cellar
in which tho apples are stored should
Be as cool as possible, and of an even
temperature. In warm cellars, or
Where tko temperature is part Of the
time Hartn and part of the time cool,
fappiSs will not Keep we'll The cellar
must be kept closed. In cool weather
the doors and windows should bo
opened to obtain astppiy Of fresh air.
Winter apples should not ripeh on the
trae. Each variety has its season of
ripening-and will ripen in a cellar CT
proper temperature in its season. If
The cellar is kept warm il will ripen
too soon, and decay will ensue.-- Ru4

CAUTION TO SOLDIERS AND TIE
PUBLIC,


During the last few monthswe have
daily received large numbers oflettcrs
from, and have been applied to in per.
son, by hundreds Of soldiers, regard
Ing the selling Of discharges. We
have been unablcto give any satisfac-
tion regarding them, for though there
have been many reports Respecting
them, and rumors Of sales at large
prices, we were unable, even after Of
fering reward for information, to
trace them to a responsible so6rce or
get proof positive Of a single sale. We
are now, however, in receipt Of in
formation from 4 sourco that entities
us to believe that they Lave been,
and are yet being purchased for the
purpose ofpalming Off 6pon the pub
lie, class Of mon whofave opposed,
directly and indirectly, the original
and true owners ofthe Discharges
In plain English, Rebel Soldiers
Rebels who lacked the courage Of the
soldier, and their agents, have been
and are yet buying tho discharges OF
Union Soldiers, FOR the Purpose Of using
them. as evidence Of their loyalty, pass.
ing themselves as Union men, and
claiming on the strength Of such dis
charge, all the rights Of true, loyal,
Union serving soldiers, in the exer-
else Of the civil functions of which
they haveso rigidly been deprived
Others, and parties innocent Of wrong
intention regarding them may be pur-
chasing soldiers discharges, bit We
can cohteivcof no. way in which they
can be benefited by SO doing, and very
much fear that the most, if not all Of
the discharges sold eventually reach
the hands of persons who have been
traitors to the Government, and who
wish them to cover their disloyal acts,
We therefore take this method of
bringing this fraud upon the public
and the soldiers TO general rotice, well
knowing that the soldiers would much
rather never realize q gent from his
discharge than to sell it for such a
base purpose at any price.

"PRoCEED WITH THY ELEPHANT. ,,
In Columbiana County resides an old
fellow reGowped for his belIigerentdis.
position, who is generally known as
friend Shavey. Born and bred Qua.
ker, be was long since read out OF
meeting on account of his quarrel
some propensitics, but still perlina-
bciously elings to the plain clothes and
plain language Of his early days, posi-
bbly as a protection against lbe wrath
which he is continually progoking by
his ovcr-bearing and irritating de-
peanor. He is always the owner Of
the crossest dog in. tho heighborhood,
the most troublesome, breccby steers,
&C., and is continually, in hot water
with some of his noighbors in consc-
quence Of the depredaiions committed
by his unrully live stock. A few weeks
since, Van Amburgh's Menagcrie, ira
ngthrongh CoIpmbiana, was obIig-
ed to p9ss his residence. A little be-
fore daylight, Nash, the keeper Of the
elephant Tippoo Saib, as he was pass
ing over the road with bis elephant,
discovered this pseudo Quaker seated
upon q fence upon the road side, watch
ing bull which be had tlfhed OFT
upon the road, and which was paa-
ing believing and throwing, up a ire
mcndous dust generally In fact, from
the animal s Unconstitutional would
readily have taken him for one Of the
identical breed that butted the lccomo-
tite off bridge.
Take that bull out Of the way"
shouted Nash, as be approached.
Proceed with thy elephant" was
the reply. ....,,....
"lfyou dent take that balI away he
will &c. hurt" continued Nash, ap-
preaching, While the bul redoubled
his belIigerent demonstrations. 49,
don't troubIet thyself aboutthc bull,
but proceed. thy elephant, retort-
cd Friend Shavcy, rubbing his hands
with delight at the prospect of an ap-
preaching scriinmage, the Old fellow
having great confidence in tho irwin
cibiity of his bull, which was really
the terror of the whole country Hrnund,
Tippoo Saib came On with his un-
couth, shambling gait; the bull lower
cd his head and made charge direct
ly upon the elephant. Old Tippoo,
without even pausing in his march,
gave his cow catcher sweep catching
the bull on the side, crushing in his
ribs with his enormous tusk9, and then
raised him almost thirty feet in the
air, the bull striking upon his head as
he came down, breaking his neck and
killing him instantly,
I'm afraid your bull has bent his
neck a little" shouted Nash as he pass
cd on. ..
Bent lie devil" cried old Shavey
with a troubled look at his dcfunct
bull, "thy elephant is too hefty for my
beast, but thee will not make so much
out OF the operation as thee supposes.
| was going to take my family to thy
show, but I'll see thee md thy show
blowed to blazcs before go one step,
and thee may proceed with thy cle-
phant and be d-d,-pleaee," the
please" being added as Shavey took
a second look at the proportion of the
stalwart elephant keeper.

CHOLERA KEMEpIEs.
Indian remedies are thus described

Indian remedies are thus described
in letter published in England:
Three years ago, while in Calcutta,
Lwas an eyewitness to an eXtraordi-
nary case A native Lascar, on board
tho vessel was in, was evidently
sinking last from cholera; in fact, by
all appearances, he had not an hour to
live, A gentleman, seeing the man
sink so rapinly, made an incision into
his arm, and having rubbed some liq-
uid into it, bound it up with cloth.
Next day the man was well, and again
at work. p. ......
On inquiry, I learned that it was the
same remedy as DR.. Uoningberg's, of
Calcutta, viz: lnocUIate the patient
with quassia.. e.
My attention having been thus
called to this treatment, | was induced
in several cases, whero no medical
man. was to be had, to try it myself
and the effects were wonderful.
In tho first stage, when no collapse
is Yet threatened, l have found no
remedy more, eflicacious than DR.. G.
B.owns choIorydine, now so exten'
sively used abroad, especially in In dia.
A few persons provided with these
two simple remedies, and willingness
to see them administered, might do
incalculable service in Constantnople
during this frightfui epidemic, and |
am sure there are persons to be found,
willing to undertake the charge.
