Two CHILDREN BURNED To DEATH Yes.
terday morning about I o'clock most dis
tressing calamity occurred at Schlicht's mill
on Shasta River. by the burning of his barn
in which two of his children perished. The
two boys, one aged years and one 3 years
and months, were undoubtedly playing with
matches at the opening on the upper side,
where the hogs came and there was no door.
over which was a large quantity of hay. The
wind was very high at the time, and the
probability is that the smoke blinded them
so that they were unable to find their way
out. and before assistance could be rendered
the whole barn was in fames Mr. Schilcht
who was on the hill side close by, tending
sheep. and Mr. Flock. just below the mill
both rushed as speedily as possible to the
scene, but were too late to render any aid as
the barn was nearly burned down before
they reached it. The body of one of the boys
was found at the door sill and the other a
short distance from it inside of the barn
site, and both had most of their arms and
legs burned off and their heads a d bodies

gloom. The external senses, as well as the
mental faculties, often manifest sym ptOms

SOIL.
The Rose is capable Of being grown
in a variety of garden soils, but that
is best which contains the greatest
proportion of loan; and deep, stiff
loan IS what Roses delight in. The
warmest of all is the black, porous
soil, and which contains a superabun-
dance of humid or decompOsed or
ganie matter. Here the Rose will
rarely thrive without liberal admlx-
ture of stiff loan, or even clay. In
such cases the better plan Is to
plant 10 beds, which should De pre-
pared as follows Remove the soil to
the depth of eighteen inches or two
feet. then, if the sub-soil be dry, first
put in layer six inches In depth Of
good stiff loan, and fill up to the sur
face with a compost containing
about one-third of the original soil,
and two-thirds of loan, with which a
small proportion, (say one part in
fve,) Of well-rOtted manure has been
previously mixed. But if the sub
soil is not thoroughly dry, instead of
the stiff loan, put in layer Of brick
bats, or any rough material, to act as
drainage, and fill up as before. Light,
sandy or DOGGY soils may be treated
in the same manner.
Low wet ground is also unfavora-
Bile for the growth of Roses. and if
planted in such soils, without the aid
of artificial drainage, they soon be-
come messy and die away. Where
your soil is of this character you must
proceed thus First Of all have the
whole of the ground well drained
then trench it over to the depth Of
eighteen inches or two feet. throwing
the mould up in ridges to allow the
frosts and winds to act upon it; when
thoroughly dry level it down, and
where the plants are to be placed take
out the soil two feet deep; put about
six inches Of brick bats in the bottom,
then mix some we'll rotted manure
with the soil, and fill up as before.
With deep, stiff loan and dry sub
soil, which is the natural soil of the
rose, little more than trenching and
manuring will be required, excepting
for the tea-scented and China tribe,
for which the addition Of sand and
leaf mould will be necessary.

PLANTING.

No plant suffers more from late
Spring planting than the Rose, ard /
should recommend that all with the
exception of those to be turned out
of pots in April or May be planted
by the middle of March at the latest,
otherwise many failures and much
weak growth will be the result. As
soon as the plants are received from
the nursery, let the roots be examined
and all injured portions be cut clean,
and shorten the long fbrous roots /;
by no means allow the roots to be-
come dry. but have them put into the
ground as soon as possible, and there
let them remain until required for
planting.

above, only a few Of each should be
pruned in March, leaving the greater

Pig manure is undoubtedly the best
for Roses. Let it lie in heap for
six months, by which time it will
have become pretty well rotted. a
small quantity of this applied to each
plant, and forked in during the Win

have a most beneficial effect Stable
