FRUIT WITHOUT SToNEs.-At the last
meeting of the Agricultural Society in In
dia, the Rev. Mr.. Firminger communicated
a plan by which the stones offruit may be
reduced or made to disappear, and the
pulp increased in size and flavor. At any
time during the cold season select branch
that is to be used afterward for marching.
Split it up carefully somewhat less than a
span long. From both halves of the branch
thus split scoop out clearly all the pith
then bring the split halves together again,
and keep them bandaged till they have
become thoroughly united. At the usual
time, the beginning of the rains, march the
branch thus treated upon suitable stock ;
taking for the place of union the portion
of the branch just below where the split
was made. Upon a branch of the tree
thus produced similar operation is per-
formed, and so on for successive seasons
the result being that the stone'of the fruit
becomes less and less after each successive
operation. This process has been applied
likewise to the grape vine at Malaga; and
plants thereby have been produced which
bear the finest fruit without the slightest
vestige of stone within them.

A RED BooT SMITH CAsE.-Dr. William
Boyd, who has figured conspicuously as
one of the prominent Radicals Of Wash
ington city, and who was one of the origi-
nal Republicans, offered to register, but
was refused on the ground that he had
been convicted of an infamous crime, and
had "been sentenced to Imprisonment in
the penitentiary." The crime was running
slaves from the District of Columbia, un-
der the old laws, prior to emancipation.
DR.. Boyd intends to appeal from the deci-
sion of the registers to the Supreme Court
of the District.

CHEAPER LEATHER.-Before the Ameri-

read an interesting paper descriptive of
his new method of precipitating tanning, by
which he gives tanners the concentrated
extract Of hemlock bark at little cost and
in the smallest compass, and enables them
to tan their hides near or in New York in
stead of sending them hundred miles in
land. He proposes thus to save transporta-
tion-a very considerable item in the cost
of leather.-Neu York Tribune.
