in America.
From he Hartford o6rdRt, June o.
The fickleness OF fortune Is well L.
Illustrated inthe experience Of worthy
family in this city, who have suddenly
found themselves raised from that con-
dition in society where people are said
to live in moderate circumstances" to
the highest pinnacle Of wealth. The
facts are these: Mrs. Ell Walker, re-
siding at No. 100 Maple avenue, Is a
woman Of English birth. Her huband
(who is machinlst by trade) and her
self have resided here for u number Of
years, and have several children. It
was reported some months ago that a
large property, valued ut thirty.tlve
millions of dollars, had fallen to Mrs.
Walkers father, as direct heir, and he
being dead, the whole amount belonged
10 her as his only child. Steps were Rt
once taken to ascertain the truth Of this
report, and Ex-Governor 7. II. Seymour
was employed to investigate. The re-
suit of his Investigation Is entirely fa-
vorable TO Mrs. Walker, documents
having been received which show be-
yond question that she will come in
HOhoG65AbA Vi buAn ALAAhGlloO PAORGAkyl
and she, together with her husband and
children, will start for England next
week to receive the golden egg.
It is said that upon full settlement
of all matters connected with this most
extraordinary "streak of luck" Mrs.
Walker will return to Hartford and
make her permanent residence here.
Rumor hath 1t that she will erect upon
some eligible site n magnificent man
sion, following the style Of the grand
Wins and castles of Merry England,
which shall excel in grandeur the most
costly of American palaces.
But the lady has not probably given
any one permission to make such n
statement. 1t is more reasonable to
suppose that some gossipper, thrilled
by tho intelligence OF the "windIall,"
has allowed his Indignation TO picture,
as MelnOtte piCturedto Pauline, u fairy
palace with marble halls by the Lake
of Como. Yet It would not be surpris-
ing If the fortunate possessor of thirty
five millions in solid gold should desire
to erect here-where years OF toll have
been expended to furnish II daily sup
pOrt-n mansion suitable TO life of
luxury and ease, and credituhle TO the
city which she adopted as home.
We congratulate Mrs. Walker and
her family upon their good fortune.
She will be, when in full possession
Of her property, the richest woman in
the United States. But she Is said TO
be woman of good sense, and will
not place herself beyond the reach of
those who have been her friends during
the years sac has lived here; already
we learn that II is her purpose to make
one family ut least, in whom she is in
terested, Independent of want; and we
shall probably be called upon hereaf-
ter 10 chronicle other charitable deeds
which her generosity will prompt.

Old Fruit Trees Renovated.

There were old apple trees in profusion,
with nearly hundred pear trees of vigorous
growth, but utterly neglected, and reported
as yielding small crops of Indifferent fruit.
The outgoing seller of the farm had intend
ed TO cut them down. He knew the market
value OF pickles, but the pear culture was a
sealed book. The buyer, educated in diff
ierent school, believed that there was yet n
nigh money value in those trees, and that
they could be resuscitated. We stood among
them and debated the question. He thought
that here was foundation to begin upon
and that an Investment of money in revivin0
them would yield a far quicker return than
in waiting for the product of newly plant
ed orchard Among other facts and expert
ence, reference was made to the memorable
account recorded in this journal nearly 20
years ago, of the complete renovation of
two out-cast pear trees. Like all these, they
had once borne excellent crops of fruit, but
for several years had produced only worth
less specimens The owner was told that
the trees--for there were several in like con-
dition-had exhausted the proper element in
the soil, and that it must be re-introduced
by artificial means. That autumn he car
ried 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 the poorest branches, and short
ened the head of the tree one-third by cut
ting back the principal limbs, pairing the
wounds and covering them with shellac So
luton.
The preparation being made, "A trench was
dug around each tree, three feet from the
same four feet wide and twenty inches deep,
the soil being cartcd away. In making this
trench, about a third of the roots were cut
away. The trench was then filled with soil
from good pasture field, there being added
at the time of filling, two bushels of refuse
scoriG from a blacksmiths forge two of
well broken charcoal and two pounds of pot
ash. All these were thoroughly intermin-
gled after the trench had been filled, by fire.
quent overturnings with the spade
The result of this cheap and simple opcr-
alton was manifest the following summer.
The luXuriance and vigor of the foliage were
surprising, for the newly formed roots were
wandering into fresh and wholesome pasture.
The next year there there was moderate
bloom, but every blossom produced fruit.
The third season there was fine crop, the
two trees producing six bushels of superb
fruit. 1t was convincing evidence that the
failure of old established pear trees to pro-
duce good crops is owing to want of prop
er nutriment in the soil, and that instead of
being cut down when they cease to bear,
they should be taken in hand and renovated

Scientific Method Of Curing HAY,

1t has been affirmed by eminent agricul-
turists that hay could be safely deposited in
the NOW in semi-green state, and come out
green, fragrant and exceedingly palatable to
stock, by sprinkling upon each load from
four to six quarts o. air-slacked lime. The
philosophy OF it lies in the chemical fact
that lime is powerful absorbent. The Rev.
E. Willis, of this city tested this process last
season. 1t will be remembered that the
weather was most unpropitious for making
hay. Finding it would be impossible to
save the hay by outdoor exposure, he cart
ed it into his barn in heavy, green condi-
ton. He sfted the lime upon it, and it
cured handsomely and came out this spring
as inviting as flowers pressed in an herbarl-
um. His horses and stock devoured it
greedily, and preferred it to the best sun
cured hay.
This is a valuable chip of knowledge for
farmers. Necessity often compels haymakers
to choose between the alternative of leaving
out in drenching rain few loads of half
cured hay, thereby spelling it, or hurrying
it into the barn with a right smart chance
of its heating and moulding. Lime will abb
sorb all the vegetable moisture and save the
hay while salt gathers moisture and fails
in many cases to preserve it. Persons de-
string to inspect this hay can do so by call
ing on Mr.. Willis and learning more fully
his Xperment.-ROckt0rd Ill., J Reqister

DRY GOODS IMPORTATGONs.-Itap appears
from an article in the New York CONNER
cial that during the past fiscal year the value
of the imports of foreign dry goods at that
port reached the enormous figures OF Sl37.-
100000, which is S30,0O0O00 in excess of
the heaviest year in the history of the past.
the receipts for 1860, the largest year, hav-
ing been Sl07,000,000, Tho average impor-
tations for the five years preceding that just
closed was S63,O0O,000, and for the ten
years ending with lS64-5, S77,000,000. The
imports for the last year are thus 81 l-2 per
cent, in excess Of the average of the len
preceding years or this immense amount
it is calculated that Sl00,O0O,0O0 went to the
South TO replenish the stocks exhausted du-
ring the war. 1t is also alleged that the
South has sold, during the past year, $500,
100000 worth of cotton, for which the dry
goods were a return in part.
