Our readers will remember that we
have frequently recommended the root
pruning of fruit trees, having some
favorable experience in. the practice
ourselves. We only tried it with dwarf
pear trees and generally with success,
but ouly in cases where the tree was
q rampant grower and shy bearer. The
following comments On this subject we
find in the Western RHral, of Chicago,
and we have no question of the value
of the hints given: --. {
When tree has produced nothing
but wood for several years, the tendency
may be checked by judicious root-pru-
ming. This is done by opening trench
around the tree, at a suitable distance
from the trunk. That distance must
depend on the size of the tree, for the
roots extend nearly as far as the branch
es. The trench should be from one foot
to two and half feet deep, according
to the size of the tree, in order TO admit
of an inspection of all the lateral roots.
Some persons cut the vertical or tap
roots, by striking spade uader the tree,
but 1t is not advisable to cut these
roots, as they are anchors which hold
the three firm in its place. In opening
a trench around a tree, care should be
taken not to hack the roots; they should
be cut clean with sharp knife, making
q draw-cnt, the same as when pruniIf9
the branches. Much damage is some,
times done to trees in root-pruning. by
hacking the roots with spade, or crit-
ting them too close to the trunk. :
The best time for this kind of prun-
ing is IN the fall, when vegetation il
suspended. 1t may be done in the
spring before vegetation Commences.
Some orchardists think that August ;s
the most appropriate month for this
work, but the greater number prefer to
operate in the fall or early in the
spring. Some persons dc not open a
trench, but merely cut q circle around

saturday Morning, November o..
The Pitisburg Explosion.

II has seldom been our lot to record q
more distressing casualty than that de-
scribed in our special dispatch from
pittsburg this morning. A number of
Wheeling men are at work in the va
roas iron mills in and near Pittsburg,
and when the rumor of the dreadful
pews was circulated upon the streets
last evening there was much anxiety
felt TO know whether any of our former
citizens were among the ill-fated suf-
ssrers. So far as we know, none of
those injured belong here, but it is
probable that many of the workmeu in
our own mills may be acquainted with
some of the killed or wounded. We

Legitimate purpose to keep public
school in the township open during
thtee months in year.
The result Of the radical policy in
West Virginia is to cripple and retard
the progress of the State in every con-
ceivable way. Immigration is pre-
vented by the odious and unjust dis
elimination which debars from citizen
ship any man who happened to be upon
the unsuccessful side in the late civil
war. Capital is prevented from seeking
investment here by the ill-advIsed
usury laws of the State, and by the
feeling of insecurity which BoREMAN's
messages and his frantic calls for troops
have caused in the minds of those ig-
norant of the facts, and by the onerous
taxes which are necessary to fill the
pockets of herd of "loyap Office
holders. The same causes are operating
with equal force, to drive from the State
q large portion OF the population
and nearly all the capital it already

this condition of affairs claim
to be par excellence the friends of the

of its formation was little irregular,
or that it is not now the freest, happi-
est, most enlightened and prosperous

comes populous or rich it will be whom
she has hurled the Radical party from
power and adopted more liberal and
statesmanlike policy than that which
has been pursued by her rulers ever
since her political organization began.

twice day to the part affected, care
fully, as wherever it comes in contact
with the skin, the hair is temporarily
removed. Keep the part we'll creased
If it becomes sore, and after few appli-
cations, drop off twice day to once in
two or three days, until the liniment is
