OK GUARD FOUR YEARs.-A curious
story Of the war. The Winchester IVA
Times is responsible for the following:
During the year 1854, when the hos
tile forces were struggling for the su-
premacy in and around Winchester,
Mr.. - went to Major Parsons, United
States Provost Marshal, and applied for
a safeguard. General Fessenden was
called on to fill the demand, which he
did by detailing for this duty Mr..
John - of the Second New York Cav
airy, to whom he issued imperative orders
to remain until he was relieved by proper
authority. w. stood manfully by his
post. The tide of battle surged about
him, but his was charmed life, for he
had that authority, which saved him
from molestation by the "rebs." The
war closed, but with it came no order t.
the sentinel, and faithful to the trus
confded to him, he is still at his post o
duty. The case has been reported to tn
proper authorities, and Mr.. w. will doubt
less soon be excused from further safe
guard duty. That he will be able t
draw full pay up to the present time, has
we learn, been conceded by competen
military authority"

We nominate SCHUYLER CoLFAx for
Vice President. We are aware that his
geographical location may be objected
to by some as being too far west, consid-
ering that Gen. GRANT, the union candi-
date for President, is also western man,
but the country got enough of geography
in 1864, when they went south for can
didate to avoid being sectional" We
are therefore in faver of the nomination
of Mr.. CoLFAx who is eminently quail
fed for the place as an able parliament
arian, and because, and most important
of all perhaps, he possesses the confidence
of the American people. He is qualified,
too, for the first place on the ticket, and
it is Just such man that is wanted now
for thesecond place on the ticket. Don't
let us hear anything about geography
not this year.

CONFESSION OF A MURDERER.-The
Calais (Me.) Advertiser, referring to an
account given some three or four years
since of man named Seely and his two
sons being burnt up in lumber camp,
near Magaguadavic, says it now turns
out that they had had dispute with a
man by the name of Carson about some
land, and that this Carson, considering
himself wronged, out Of revenge stole
their camp while they were absent about
their business and put laudnum into
their tea-kettle, and while they were
asleep .set fire to the camp in several
places in such manner as to prevent
escape, and they were all destroyed. Af
ter the deed was accomplished Carson
went to California, where he died short
time ago, and on his death bed confessed
to having perpetrated the above horrible
crime.

Ashes for Fruit Trees.

We find the following in the last num-
her of the Watchman and Reflector;
ain your paper of Jan. 3Oth saw an
article from this Maine Farmer, from a
subscriber, asking how he may remedy
the bitter rot in his apples, and what
course he should pursue to get good,
sound fruit.
Some ten years ago ] came in posses
sion of large farm on which stood a
large apple tree, which was at that time
about sixty years old, according to the
tradition of the fathers, which bore a
few bushels of small, scurvy, bitter rot
apples every other year. Having read
that ashes was good for fruit trees, |
spread some five or six bushels of strong
house ashes under the tree in the spring.
That season the fruit was nearly double
that of the previous year; and the Sec
ond year l gathered fifteen bushels OF
smooth, sound apples from said tree. II
bears less fruit every other year; but
have not gathered less than fifteen bush
els every alternate year since | spread
the ashes under the tree. l have used
ashes as top dressing for fruit trees
every year since, with very nearly the
same results.

Observation-Disclosures from New
Hampshire represent the democracy ter
ribly demoralized by their recent defeat
at the polls. They are not only astound-
ed at their defeat, but many of their
most earnest, active men are intensely
enraged at their leaders for deceiving
them in the way they did. These leaders,
at a very late hour before the election,
sent out their statements that "new
canvass of the state gave it to the demo-
Gratis by 3000," and on the strength of
this many New Hampshire democrats
staked large sums Of money, and lost.
They now feel that they were deceived,
and deceived by parties who knew that
they were doing SO, and they now openly
declare that having been thus cheated
they will never cast another democratic
vote in New Hampshire as long as they
live. A more down-hearted, dispirited
demoralized host than the democratic
party in New Hampshire is to-day il
would be difficult to imagine. 1t i:
doubtful if it can be rallied sufficient,
to make a decent fight in the presidential
campaign.
