OLD FRUIT TREES RENovArED.-There
were old apple trees in profusion, with near
ly hundred pear trees of superior vigorous
growth, but utterly neglected. and reported
as yielding small crops of Indifferent fruit
The out growing seller of the farm had in
tended to cut them down. He knew the
market value of pickles, but the pear culture
was sealed book. The buyer, educated in
different school, believed that there was
yet high money value in these trees, and
that they could be resuscitated. We stood
among them and debated the question. He
thought that here was a foundation to begin
upon, and that an Investment of money in
reviving them would yield a far quicker re.
turn than in waiting for the product of q
newly planted orchard. Among other facts
and experience, reference was made to the
memorable account recorded in this Journal,
nearly twenty years ago, of the complete re
novatien of two outcast pear trees. Like all
these they had once borne excellent crops of
fruit, but for several years had only pro-
duced worthless specimens. The owner was
told that the trees-for there were several in
like conditIon-had exhausted the proper
element in the soil. and that it must be re.
introduced by artificial means. That au-
tamn he carried out the suggestion, and
scraped off all the rough outer bark from
two trees, then coated them with soft soap,
cut out about one-third of all the poorest
branches, and shortened the head of the
trees one third by cutting back the princi-
pal limbs, pairing the wounds and covering
them with the shellic solution.
The preparation being made, trench was
dug around each tree, three feet from the
same, four feet wide and twenty inches deep,
the soil being carted away. The trench was
then fill d with soil from good pasture
field, there being at the time of filling two
bushels of refuse scorie from blacksmith s
forge, two of well broken charcoal, and two
pound of pulverised potash. All these we
thoroughly intermingled after the trench
had been filled, by frequent overturnings
with the spade.
| The result of this cheap and simple opera
tion was manifested the following summer
The luxuriance and vigor of the foliage were
surprising, for the newly formed roots were
wandering into fresh and wholesome pas
ture. The next year there was moderate
bloom, but every blossom produced fruit
The third year there was fine crop, the
two trees producing six bushels of suberb
fruit. 1t was convincing evidence that the
failure of old established pear trees to pro-
duce good crops is owing to want of proper
nutriment in the soil, and that instead Of
being cut down when they cease to bear,
they should be taken in hand and renovated

Death from Hydrophobia.

Every one has heard of hydrophobia; but
fects on the human system. A case of death
from this cause recently occurred at Spring
Hill, Kansas, which is thus described by the
Free Press of that town. The name of the
victim was Samuel Rose:
Four days previous to his death he had
some fever, with chilly sensations, and was
soon unable to swallow water, or any kind of
liquids whatever. DIR. Fitzgerald was then
called, and Immediately upon examination
pronounced it an unmistakable case of by
drophobia. The least breath of fresh air,
the appearance of water or liquid of any kind,
any object with a bright surface, the pouring
of liquids from one We, sci into another, or to
even think of water, would create a shudder
and Involuntary spasm of the muscles OF the
throat, and temporarily suspend breathing; ;
and, as is usual in such cases. at each occur
renee of the spasm thick. tough mucus
would rise in his throat. He remained in
this deplorable condition until the second day
of his illness, without material change, chill
ing, shuddering and running to the opposite
side of the room gasping. struggling for
breath whenever the door was opened and he
air or light admitted. His mental was more
unendurable, if possible, than his physical
suffering although, in addition to the symp-
toms already enumerated, he experienced
acute lancinating pains. commencing on the
left side of the face and extending down into
his chest. Upon inquiry he stated, on the
Doctors first visit that he had been bitten by
dog several years ago. at the exact place
where the pain was located, and that within
sixteen years be had been frequently bitten
in other parts of the body. but that he could
not recollect of anv recent bite. Some twenty
hours previous to his death he told his medi-
cal attendant and others that he felt " Mad,
mad, mad' and was fearful he could not
control himself much longer, and shortly
afterwards made his escape bareheaded into
the street, tearing the phlegm from his
mouth and throat, and threatening all whom
he saw. He was now, indeed, mad in ear
nest. On his return home he had his first
general convulsion, and as soon as he recov
cred be again escaped into the corn field,
was finally caught overpowered and secured
by cords. he resisting with all his power
Calling for water, he no sooner saw it than
he took another convulsion, which came near
releasing him from his suferings. He, how
ever, lived until the following morning, hav
ing several convulsions of lesser degree
through the night, when he died sitting in
the chair The most energetic medical treat
ment was applied, without any perceptible
benefit.

A "BANTING' WRESTLING MATcH.-At
Carson, on Wednesday last, wrestling
match for one hundred dollars a side was
made up by the friends of George Tully, of
the St. Charles Hotel, who weighs three
hundred and fifty pounds, and James Craw
ford, Assemblyman from Lyon county. and
late candidate for Speaker of the House,
who weighs two hundred and seventy eight
pounds. The friends of the parties made
the match. the conditions of which were,
that they should wrestle back holds, and the
first man thrown should lose the money A
large number of persons assembled at the
place selected to see the match The prin-
cipals were brought out in regular race.

their drawers. Harry Mighels was selected
as umpire. The word was given and the
parties approached each other, and attempt
ed to comply with the agreement, which was
to wrestle back holds, but it was no CO.
Their abdominal regions stuck out so far
that when they touched, it was impossible
for them to take hold in any way The
principals never realized this fact until thev
attempted to clinch, when the crowd present
commenced to laugh. and the Stockholders
made tracks for the nearest saloon, where
they were soon met by the principals, and
all Joined in drinking up the stakes.

GREELY ON THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.-The
New York Tribune is ferocious against Il e
people of Washington City for their conduc'
in opposing negro suffrage. We copy por
ton of the article, rs follows:
There is nothing like impudence. Con.
gress, for the poor privilege of occupying
little land in the District of Columbia, pay,
to speak roughly, an annual rent of about
one hundred thousand dollars per square
inch. There is not village in Ireland so
utterly pauperized as Washington would be
to morrow if the Government should be
transferred to another locality. Hotel and
lodging house keepers, grog venders, pro
prietors of brothels and of hells, and great
many others in the Capitol of more respecta
BILE callings, would all find their occupation
gone in an instant, and Washington would
become broken down Virginia village,
haunted by loafers, and dedicated to laziness.
The citizens of this delightful metropolis
are divided into whites and blacks; and, so
far as our observation has served us, we are
quite sure that the blacks are not less re-
spectacle, thrifty, and intelligent than their
light colored neighbors. They have acquir
ed property, personal and real and, con-
sidering the example which too many men,
bers Of Congress have set them, they deserve
high praise for being no worse than they are
But no sooner is it proposed to allow these
blacks to vote for mayor and councilmen Of
the city than u special town meeting of white
folks is called to show how repugnant the
passage of the negro suffrage act is to the peo-
ple.' We are almost tempted to laugh at
this faint little spasmodic kick of the dying
monster. Perhaps it would be pleas
ing to these fastidious creatures to have
the slave. shambles and the barracoons re-
stored under the shadow of the Capitol
they would like to have their dear District
exempted from the blights of the general
emancipation. Perhaps they would have
the ten miles square reserved as sort OF
Goshen, to which the patriarchs might flee
with their human herd, so that, above our
loud cries of Liberty Forever = might arise
the screams of the f"gged and the chatter of
the man auction. If so, let them hold a
general election, and signify their most mod
crate desires!

The following extracts from an editorial
from the Sunny South, a Mississippi journal
needs no comments. as thoy belong to that
emphatic class of articles which are said tc
speak for themselves: The negro here, when
we come to sift the generous impulses of the
human heart, is thought of with affection
the Southern man was always more kind to
his slave than the goddess. soulless, unholy
and despicable Yankee. The negro has seen
enough of that brutal and treacherous race,
and thev are brutal and treacaerous to a
man. The history of the Yankee race, is
the history of crime when not infamed by
the merciless concomitants of their system of
war, there turks within them dark and
demoniac spirit, which coverts blood. The
red blood flows alone south of Mason and
Dixon's line.
We spent number of years in the North
in fact, were educated there. and we will tell
to the people. that the secret of the whole
thing land we have watched it closely was
envy. 1t CALLED degenerate set of mono
manacs, vino are as much deformed in fea-
lures as brain. to see the Southern student
strut in fine clothes. But they missed it !;

How A ROMAN GENERAL SETTLED A LOVE
AFFAIR.-Some of his officers informed him
that one of his soldiers, native of Lucania,
often quilted his post and rambled out of the
camp. Upon this report, he asked what kind
of a man he was in other respects; and they
all declared it was not easy to find so good a
soldier, doing him the justice to mention sew
eral extraordinary instances of his valor. On
inquiring into the cause of this irregularity,
he found that the man was passionately in
love, and that, for the sake of seeing a young
woman, he ventured out of the camp, and
took long and dangerous journey every
night. Hereupon Fabius gave orders to some
of his men to find out the woman. and convey
her into his own tent. but took care that the
Lucanian should not know it, Then he sent
for him, and taking him aside, spoke to him
as follows: g | very well know that you have
lain many nights out of the camp, in breach
of the Roman discipline and laws at the
same time. | am not ignorant of your past
services. In consideration of them, | forgive
your present crime but, for the future,
will give you in charge to person who shall
be answerable for you' While the soldier
stood much amazed, Fabius produced the
woman, and putting her in his hands, thus
expressed himself: This is the person whr
engages, for you, that you will remain in
camp; and now we shall see whether there
was not some traitorous design which drew
you out, and which you made the love q
this woman a cloak for''

interesting:
Bird Ii. Young. Of Tallapoosa county,
died last month at his residence in the coun-
ty. He lived to be nearly seventy years OF
age. He was man of generous good heart
and many weaknesses in moral point OF
view. He was most respectfully connected,
and at one tine possessed of great wealth,
which he recklessly wasted. He was the
original of the portrait familiar to many
thousand readers in the United States under
the name of Simon Suggs. whose "Adven-
