If they are goin' to 'bolish lickin'

to be spanked, and I'm in favor of

Education is all very well, but wall

1t don't do to let boys off without

The announcement of the demise of
this gentleman at his residence in Ralti-
mere, will awaken deep sensibilities in
the hearts of u large circle of friends
and personal acquaintanees in this COM
munity, and throughout the State.
A brief memorial is due to one, who
% recently held worthy and di.tin-
guished position in our midst.
Coming to this city, an unknown
youth from his native county of Tyler,
about the year 1887, he commenced aud
prosecuted the study of law in the Office
of z. Jacob, Esq, and for him, his now
venerable, legal preceptor, he always
expressed the kindest regard: he had
previously graduated ut Jefferson Col
lege in Western Pennsylvania. After
two or three years Of previous study and
application, Mr.. Russell commenced the
prastice of law in Wheeling, and in q
comparatively short time rose to high

Killing Hogs.

Killing hogs is a business in which
the whole community is interested,
and perhaps small proportion acquaint-
ed with it. 1t is termed "butchering,"
and often carried on in "butchering"
style, while it is business worthy of
being conducted in decent and scien-
tific way. do not purpose going into
long programme Of telling how to
catch hog, and how to hold him, &C..
but to throw cut few hints.
Do not suffer the hog to be run and
worried by men, boys and dogs, getting
his blood and flesh heated, just before
killing. Ibelieve this is one cause of meat
spelling. Sometimes we drive hog or
two to q neighbors so as to "kill to-
gether," as it is termed, making use of
the same force, same fire and other fix-
ings; and we have known the hams and
shoulders Of hogs thus driven to come
out little short before the next sum
mer was over.
Let the hogs be killed with as little
noise, and worriment aud excitement IS
possible. A Jers.yman has enc to 20 into
the pen, select hia victim, and shoot
him, or with q broad faced hammer
(like q shoemaker's hammer) knock
down the hog, when other men come i'm
mediately and stick, and others drag out,
and 60 to scalding, and so on, with q
large number of hegs.
Scalding machines have become very
commsn and are good institution; but
everybody has not got one and still use
tubs. / like the tub, and want nothing
better for ordinary times but / want Q
rope and tackle, and one OF two hands

or two lest his hair "sets, hoist him and

almost unrivalled, while as q speaker
he was earnest, persuasive and eloquent.
By his diligent research he laid all de-
partments of learning under contribu-
tion, but he was especially familiar
with the pages of historic aud classical
literature; frequent and apposite al
lusions and quotations richly illustra-
ted his subjects, and adorned his for
ensic addresses. His habits were un-
exceptiOnable, and it is needless to add,
that the most entire prop,iety distin-
guished his professional intercourse
with the bar and the bench.
As a citizen lie always manifested o
becoming degree of public spirit in
everything appertaining to the welfare
and prosperity of the community in
which he had cast his let, while the
value of his councils was duly appre-
ciated in the constancy with which
they were sought in the management
Of our public affairs. Again and again
was Mr. Russell called upon by the pub
lie voice to represent this city and
county i'll the General Assembly ut
Richmond, and the ability and faithful
ness with which he discharged his du-
ties are known and acknowledged by
all.
Bat, while Mr.. Russell was held in
high esteem as lawyer and citizen, he
was especially appreciated by those who
knew him in the intimacies of private
life. His genial nature, his courteous
manners, his lively flashes of wit and
humor, his happy repartees, all united
with a highly poetic and philosophic
cast of mind, gave charm and pleasure
to his conversation and intercourse
rarely eqHalled. He was faithful in his
friendships, and in all the relations, pub
lie and private, which he sustained in
life. His bereaved wife and children, in
the bitterness of their grief, can testify
to his virtues as husband and father.
The great secession movement of 1861,
in which he united, led to his separa-
tion from oar midst: this was the great
political error of his life; the move
ment was overthrown, and he expressed
himself content with the result, and
INDUCED the earnest hope that all parts
of the country, under wiser couhcils,
might again be united, prosperous and
happy.
His life has gone out; the light of his
beaming eye is extinguished; his genial
heart has ceased to beat; the grave
covers all that remains of Charles w.
Russell. Let all partisan and sectional
feelings and animosities be buried in
his tomb, and the memory of his public
and private worth, as one of our former
citizens, alone survive in this communi-
ty, where he spent nearly quarter of a
century of useful and honored life.

WhiiewashinE Fruit Trees.

We have frequently commended the
practice of whitewashing fruit trees
in the fall.
There is o two fold benefit in this, as
it destroys the eggs of insects in the
bark and by its reflection of the suns
rays on bright days in winter, protects
the tree from sun-scald while the sap is
frozen. Then the whltewash will have
become so weather-beaten that it will
not be offensive to the eye, after the tree
puts out is leaves. On this subject q
very noted orchardist writes:
"We are quite sure that no enc who
ever used limewash to tree ever found
any ill effects result therefrom, while
hundreds can attest to its virtues. The
mistake arises from supposing that old
bark like the leaves, have perspiratOry
organs. A leaf has, and to dip leaf in
to whitewash would smother and kill
it; but the outside bark of tree is dead,
and serves no useful purpose, but to aid
in preserving the internal heat of the
tree. 1t is the analogue of hair to an
animal. Whitewash cannot hurt it, but
it does hurt the insects which harbor in
the crevices of the rough bark, by closing
up their breathing pores and perspira-
tory organs. Use whitewash, friends, if
you like. The white color is disagree
able, but you can mix something with
it to odestroy the glare"
