PRusIxe TRkss WHEN Frozen.

PRUNING TRKEs WHEN FRozEN.-
For the renewal of small limbs from
young trees, hardly. any time can
GENE amiss. 'rwere better to do il
out of season than to neglect it; and
it is good rule to have a sharp
pruning knife always on hand when
passing among our yeung orchard
trees. There is but one time when
pruning should be absolutely inter-
dicted, and that is all the time that
the wood is frozen. When SO cir
cumstsnced it should never, on any
account, be cut or disturbed or hand
led in any manner, not even to graft
fy your best friend by helping him
to q few gratis from your tested
tree sf.iseme coveted variety. Let
bia wait for thaw, or go away
withsat them. rather than commit
such an outrage upon your tree as to
approach it when frozen.--Dr. j. Il.

PAsTURrNG HoRsBs IN WINTER
Every horse turned out for winter
grazing, should have shed well
protected from the north, west and
east, and well Uttered with straw, to
which he can resort whenever he de-
sires rest or protection from the cold
and wet. IL no shed be provided,
then tha horse should be taken into
the stable every night. All horses
are not benefited by run at winter
pasture; some, on account of their
skin and delicate constitutions
rendering exposure to cold produc
tive of coughs and other complaints
while sthers are provided with q
long snd thick coat OF hair, that pro-
tects them against eeld but not vet,
and therefore are not so readily af-
fected by extreme changes of the
weather. Winter pasture is best for
horses where the legs are to be i'm
proved, while spring and summer
pasture is best for the renovation of
general health The barrenness of
pasture in winter keeps the carcass
fight. and eoolness Of the atmos-
phere fines and improves the legs
Horses that have become "gaunted"
up, as the phrase is, or that have
appetite, are really benefited by win
ter pasture, as the grass at that
season, although capable of support
ing life, has 10 laxative or medica
tive qualities to change the action of
the system. Such horses should be
kept in warm stables. and fed with
roets and cut feed Others, again,
that have become stiffened in their
joints, or subject to swollen legs are
oftentimes almost recovered by a

Two Men Eaten by Sharks.

On Monday might the Americanrship Jo-
sephine, Captain Mitchell, arrived in Cork
harbors from Rumados, Cuba, for orders.
The captain reports the fearful death of
two of his crew, by being devoured by
sharks while the d vessel was d lying
at Rumados. 1t appears Captain Mitch
ell had been. on shore, on the the 25th
OF June, with two of his crew, purchasing
some stores, Having transacted mis- busi-
ness, Capt. Mitchell took his boat, and
fair wind blowing he rigged SAIL. Having
accomplished half a journey, accompanied
by two seaman. a sqnan. struck the boat,
and it was so severe that she was complete
" turned oyer. The captain, and his men
were, ,precipitated into the water, the boat
sinking under them in about two fathoms
of water. Two barrels which had been in
the boat were floating about, and Captain
Mitchell directed his men to hold on to
them till assistance came, while he him
self seized the mast, about q foot of which
projected over the water. The captain be-
iieYes the men did as he told them, but in
few minutes after he heard their cries.
On looking around he found the two men
had disappeared from the surface of the
water, and in a lew. minutes he saw the
water about where the men were become
red. which lett no doubt in his mind that
the unfortunate men had been taken by
sharks. The captain then prepared for the
worst. and at the time he gave up all chance
| of escape, as the water in this place is act
ually infested with sharks. He lashed him-
self fast to the mast OF the boat, and for
thirteen hours he remained in state of
fearful suspense. The accident to the boat
occurred at o'clock in the afternoon, and
about O'Clock on the morning of the 9th
he found that his fears during the preced-
ing ten hours, were well grounded, for
when the day began to dawn, Captain
4 Mitchelrs alarm may be imagined, when
he saw two immense sharks swimming
about him, at an oars length, evidently
watching an opportunity to plunge
at him. With these two monsters
il Captain Mitchell remained in this very
| perilous position for three hours longer
4 Fhe-eaptain, from mingled fear and ex-
N haustion, was getting insensible, when for
4 tunately, about O'Clock, a lighter, which
4 was passing, came to his assistance. The
Il approach of the lighter frightened off the
sharksand Capt. Mitchell was rescued from
| his awful position in a halfinsensible state
il He accounts for his preservation by the
4 fact that small portion OF the sail was
4 above water and the wind kept it centin
ually waving and splashing the water.
which, he says, kept the sharks from COM
ing nearer to him than they did. .-
