sumcd their places in the Union, and that
the government is established among them.
The Secretary Of State has issued his off

Constitution has been ratified, so that these
revoIled States are actually participating in
the alteration of the fundamental law of the
land.
These States arc recognized as being in

the radicals they are denied representation

peace, security and progress That year,
moreover, has been crowned with many
peculiar blessings. The civil war that

sion, intrusive pestilence has been bening
ly m!ti tigssed, domestic tranquility has inl.
proved, sentiments Of conciliaticn have
largely prevailed, and the affections OF
loyalty and patriotism have been wisely
renewed. Our fields have yielded quite
abundantly, our mining industry has been
rightly rewarded, and We have been allow
ed to extend our railroad system into the
interior recesses Of the country, while our
commerce has resumed its customary acti
witty in foreign seas. These great national
blessings demand national acknowled-
Cment.
Now, there, I, Andrew johnson, Presi-
dent Of the United States, do hereby re-
commend that Thursday, the 10Th day of
Noremter nert, be set apart to be abserv
ed every where in the several States and
Territories Of the United States by the
people thereof as a day of thank ssivina
and praise to Almighty God, with due
remembrance that in His Temple doth
every man speak Of His praise. recom-
mend, also, that on the same solemn oc-
casion, we do humbly and devoutly I'M
plore him to grant to our National coun-
ellis and to our whole people that divine
wisdom which alone can lead any nation
into the ways Of all good. In Offering
these national thanksgivings, praises and
.upplicstions we have the divine assurance
''that the L ord remaineth King forever;
those that are meek shall be guided in
judgment, and such as are gentle shall
He learn bis way; the Lord shall give
strength to His people, and the Lord shall
give to His people the blessings Of peace.

Renoyatins Old Orchards.

There are multitudes of old orchards
throughout the country, too good to cut
down, yet bearing fruit only fit for making
into cider, or feeding to swine. Their
owners frequently and earnestly ask
What shall we do with them? .... ..
First: if the fruit is poor, change it by
engrafting. 1t is often the case that pru-
ming should go along with grating. The
tops of the trees which have become thick
and matted together, should be thinned
out. But in pruning, let no one mount
the trees rough shod, and with axe and
saw hack away at the lower limbs and
those in the interior. Instead of this, thin
out the old, decayed limbs, cut out few
of the upper limbs as we'll as the lower,
and to preserve the symmetry of the tree.
In grating begin at the top and renew a.
bout one third of the tree each year.
The ground will need renovating, also,
by plowing and manuring. The work
should be done carefully, without barking
the trees or breaking their roots. But SO
much harm is often done to the roots, we
think it best ordinarily to merely scarify
the surface with harrow, and to give it
a good top-dressing of barn yard manure,
composted with muck, lime, and wood
ashes. When the trunks and limbs have
become messy, and SO rough as to harbor
insects or their eggs, scrape them and then
wash them with weak lye or strong soap
suds. A common whitewash brush will
answer for applying this mixture.

Origin Of Cast Iron Manufa ctures.

1t is related that about the year 100,
one. Abraham Darby, the proprietor of a
brass foundry at Bristol England, exper-
imented in trying to substitute cast iron
for brass, but without success until the
following incident occurred: A Welsh
shepherd boy named John Thomas, res
cued a flock of his masters sheep from a
snow drift, and later in the same spring,
during heavy rain and the melting ofthe
snow, he swsm river to drive home a
herd of mountain cattle. Having collected
them, on his return he found the stream
had increased to boiling torrent. He
nevertheless crossed it on the back of an OK
and brought home the whole herd in safe
ty. As reward for his courage, bis
master gave him four of the sheep which
he had saved. He sold the to buy better
clcthing, and with the money obtained for
the sheep, travelled to Bristol to seek his
fortune. To prevent being impressed as
soldier, he requested his master to recon-
mend him as an apprentice to a relative
who was one of the partners of Abraham
Darby, and he was accordingly sent into
the brass works, until he could find better
employment. As he was looking on while
the workmen were trying to cast iron, he
said to Darby, he thought he saw how they
had missed it, and begged to try method
ofhis own. He and Mr.. Darby remained
alone in the shop that night, and before
morning they had cast an iron pot. He
was at once engaged to remain and keep
the secret, which he did faithfully, al
though double wages were offered him by
other parties. For more than one hundred
years after that night, the process Of pro-
ducing iron castings in a mould of fine
sand with two wooden fraimes and air
holes, was practiced and kept secret at that
factory, with plugged key-holes and bar
red doors.
