OBITUARY Curious combinations are often
times found in the advertising columns of our
newspapers. The following, which we may under
the circumstances, venture to style the uile cum
dulce, is the announcement made by lately be-
reaved wife:
Died. on the llth instant, at his shop, No. 20
Greenwich street, Edward Jones, much respected
by all who knew him and dealt with him. As a
man, he was amiable--as a halter, upright and
moderate. His virtues were beyond all price, and
his beaver hats only three dollars each. He has
left a widow to deplore his loss, and large stock
to be sold cheap for the benefit of his family. He
was snatched to the other world in the prime of
life, just as he had concluded an extensive pui.
chase of felt, which he got so cheap that his
widow can supply hats at more reasonable rate
than any house in the city. His disconsolate family
will carry on business with punctuality.

HOTEL OF SANTA 1sABEL.-We see with pleasure
that Messrs. Lay, Hancock and Taylor, gentlemen
who understand the business, have opened fine
hotel for the accommodation of those of our cit.
liens going to Havana under the above name.
This establishment is kept entirely in the American
style, which is vastly superior to that of Spanish
public houses, and is situated No. 1876 "calle de
Habana." We consider it as quite an improyc
meut to Havana.

CALL AND ExAMINE.-The fact is, this is the only
true way of doing business or anything else. 1t
seems pleonastic to speak of Moodys shirts, that
have acquired snch continental celebrity, their
fame being spread all over the land by judicious
abuse of telegraph posts Joined to the excellence
of the article. But good piece of information
cannot be too widely promulgated. By reference
to Moody's advertisement it will be seen that in
order to suit all characters and to pander to the
tastes of the amateurs of foreign manufactures, he
has imported lately from Paris large assortment
of French linen shirts which he offers for sale at
the lowest prices at his old stand corner of Royal
and Canal streets "Get your shirts, etc.,

AFFECTING INC1DENT.-During the ceremonies
attending the Inauguration on Wednesday last,
after the conclusion of Gov. Maryin's address, the
band of the 7th Regulars, which was in attend
ance, played Hail Columbia" in admirable style,
and when Gov. Walker had completed his inau-
gural, they struck up Dixie" which electrified
the audience and called forth repeated cheers.
All felt its inspiring strains. Many, among those
who had imperied their lives in defense of cause
now gone forever, wept, as they remembered the
tolls the suferings they had endured in vain, and
the hopes, forever blasted, which once animated

Thus it is seen that the total of every character
Of expense to the government arising from the
disbursement of the pay to the armies during the
period stated is less than seUententts Of one per

Surely this is a cost most wonderfully cheap for
the execution of duties so important and re-
sponsbe 1t is much questioned if there is another
instance on cord of public disbursement so
cheaply performed.

FEW HINTS.

Tomatoes, unless already done, can now be
set out with tolerable safety. Should cool
nights, likely to bring Frost come, the plants
should be covered with old paper, boxes or
flower pots. Little is gained by early trans
planting. A single night may retard the
grown for two weeks, and put them behind
those set out a week or ten days later
Egg plaEts do generally better by not be-
ing set out before the first of june If the
season is very favorable the last week in May
can be venturel on. There is no plant so
sensitive of cool nights as this As soon as
the weather becomes hot, both the Egg and
the Tomato plants should be mulched.
The yellow Radish for summer use can
now be planted. This variety seems to do
better than any other for the very warm
weather
Now is the time to destroy the steel colored
bug on the young grape buds. The surest
way is to 60 over the vines every morning for
week or ten days and pinch them to death
They can noE be easily seen. One must be
expert in catching them, as sometimes they
fly, but generally leap away if the branch is
shaken. They eat, in their present form, the
fruit buds, destroying them sometimes entire
ly; while their progeny, in the shape of a
small dark worm, feed upon the leaves, and
if let alone will in some seasons seriously
damage the crop. They select the older
vines. We have never seen any upon vines
under FIVE years old.
Radishes sown around canteIope hills will
protect the young plant from the depredations
Of the striped bug. The insect prefers the
radish leaf to the cantelope.
A good dose of salt helps the product of
the Asparagus bed, and at the some time des-
troys all grass and weeds, otherwise SO very
troublesome.
Violets should be transplanted in shady
places as soon as summer weather sets in.
Flower seeds should now be in the ground.
The spring has been so cool up to within a
few days that seed was better out of than in
the ground.
Evergreen trees, hedges and yoang fruit
trees should be carefully forked around and
all grass removed. Trees set out this spring
should be well mulched.
Curled Lettuce heads and stands summer
weather much better than the Cabbage Let
tuce, which is the best for hotbeds and early
outd door planting.
okra may be planted from now 10 the end
of the month. Plant in drills, and thin out
to about foot apart. Drills about two and
halffeet.

FLAVOR OF FRUIT IMPROVED BIZ


An article in the Journal Of Horticulture,
has the following very judicious remarks on
the propriety of thiuning fruit:
The favor Of fruit. barring. extreme sunless
seasons i entirely under the control of the
gardener. a clever nancan command flavor;
dull man, when he finds his fruit aavorless,
makes idle excuses, which slloald never be
listened to. ia tree trained to waIl be al
iowea 10 ripen, say ten dozen of fruit, when
five or six dozen only should have been left,
they, although they may be Of fair size aud
Color, suffer IN asror 10 an exient scarcely
credible.
How often has the gardener had occasion
to complaia Of his pears not being good, al
though produced on tne trees trained against
walls. He complains Of the srasor; but it is
in most cases owing to the trees being allow
ed to bear just double the number they ought
to have done.
The following ought to be inscribed en- ev-
cry wall. and in every fruitan orchard house.
b thinning you make indifferent fruit
good. By eroNding you make good fruit bad
livery fne and high-favored fruit be wished
for a tree capable of bearing three dozen Of
medium sized peaches should be allowed 20
bear only twelve or fifteen. This thinning is
terrible work for the amateur. 1t is like
drawing tooth, and every fruit that falls
to the ground creates a pang; but it must be
done A small, sharp pen-knife is the best
instrument to employ, and is much better
than tearing off the fruit with the finger and
thumb. a well formed peach or uectarine
tree, be 1t bush or pyramid, with its fruit
properly thinued and nearly ripe, is one of
the most beautiful articles the skill of the cul-
tiyator can produce.
Let any one VINO IS raising fruit try the ex-
pertinent this season, by thinning the fruit
on a single tree of apple, peaches, pears,
plums, &c, where the fruit is too abundant,
and he viii next year treat all his trees in the
same way.

country near Dresden, he says: 'sEvery foot

testimony that they make good wine in which
the alcoholic element was amply developed,
