ASSASSINATION OF THE PRINCE
OF SERVIA.

At 5 O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon
the reigning Prince Michael, while walk
ing in the promenade of the Topschidar
Park, was attacked by three individuals,
and shot down with revolvers.
Additional particulars concerning the
tragic event are telegraphed from Bel
grade Prince Michael, whilst walking
in the park of Toweschider, was sudden
ly assalled by three well-dressed men,
and shot dead with REVIEWERS. At the
moment, the Prince was at the side of
his cousin, Anka Constantinowich, Catha-
rina, daughter Of that Princess, Captain
Garraschlnln, the aid-de-camp in attend
ance. aud a servant were wounded. The
asSassins are said to be the three brothers
of Radovanowitch, one of whom was ar
rested, while the others escaped.
Prince Michael Ill, Of Servia, was born
on September 4, 1925. He was the son
Of the liherator of Servia, a shepherd Of
Dobrinza, who became Kniaz of Servia
under the name of MIlosch, and he sue
ceeded his father in 1860. The late
Prince married a Hungarian lady, daugh-
ter OF Count Huniady de Kethely, a cham
berIain of the Emperor of Austria. Mi
chael Ill. leaves no children-at least, so
it is believed. And even if he leaves an
heir the succession would not be unques-
toned, because The Porte has never re-
cognlzed hereditary power in the family
of Obrenovitch /; neither has the Skupt-
china or National Assembly. There ARE
rumours in Paris of a rising at Belgrade,
and of there being many killed and
wounded.

There is one measure that il would seem
was easily available in order to reduce our
heavy taxation. The greatest item of
expenditure is that for the military-force.
On this subject we might successfully
petition the King. Why should we main
tain a separate army? AS long as we are
under Danish sovereignty it is the duty
of the Danish Government TO protect us.
COuM not Il detachment Of the Danish army
be sent out ON Colonial service? Even ifthe
Colonies bore the expense of their trans
port and the difference in the rate of pay,
it would be a great relief to our finances,
and would make a reduction in our heavy
taxation possible, if this could not be eff
fected Immediately, the Home-Govern-
ment might certainly be induced to bear
at least a part of our military expenses.
If we petitioned for this amongst other
things, we would only be asking for what
is just and reasonable and the refusal of
it would give just cause for complaint.

THE "AVIS."
Stristiaastfa, 81. Srpix.
FRIDAY, 3RD JULY 1868.
From the "Fedrelamdet" of the 18Th June

ga petition, signed by 80 planters and
other inhabitants of st. Croix, has been
sent home, expressing a desire that the
Island of st. Croix should in all respects
be looked upon and treated as a part of
the Kingdom Of Denmark, in The same
manner as its provinces and northern pos
sessionss and that the produce of the
island, in consequence, be treated as
bome-produce.
This petition Messrs. M. G.. Melchior
and ]. H. Knight had the honor to pre-
sent 10 His Majesty at an audience gra-
ciously granted to them on The 18th IN
slant at the Palace of Amalienborg. His
Majesty, on the occasion, vas ~graciouSIy
pleased to express: that He, considering
The stage at which the question regard
ing the transfer of the Islands to the Uni
ted States of America then was, did not
wish to take steps that went in The direc-
ton alluded to in the Address but that
He was fully aware that a separation
from ST. Thomas and ST. Johns, would
be likely to exercise a dangerous infu-
ence on the future of ST. Croix, and that
it was His desire 10 connect the interests
of these islands to each Others
AT the same time His Majesty would
most seriously consider the petition of
the CoIonial-C Council in so far as regards
a lessening of duties, without, however,
at the present moment being DESTROYS to
saw how far the Government would he
able 70 entertain it. His Majesty seized
the opportunity to express his deep-feIt
sorrow at the disastrous natural pheno-
mena which during the last year had vi
sited the westindia Islands"
This then is what came from that cele-
brated and "Eddyfying" address. We
congratulate the parties who got it up.
They must have derived some wisdom,
if not much profit, from their political
escapade. Their guardian-angel, the pa
triotic lawyer, is, alas, no longer here to
comfort them, and divert their thoughts
from their defeat. We would most re-
spectfully suggest TO them calmly TO re-
consider their views. We think that, by
doing SO, they will discover that they
were wrong ; that it is folly to expect that
we ever could become an integral part of
the Kingdom, that it is folly to expect the
Home-Government to return to the ex-
ploded policy of protective duties in our
favor. On the other hand we would point
out to them that a great deal to their W
good and that Of the community at large,
might be done by a judicious appeal to
the Home Government, or even the local
Government. No one has ever doubted
that His Excellency Governor Birch has
the welfare of these islands most sim
cerely at heart !; and is most ready and
willing to do every thing 10 his power TO
further their interests; but, he is but hui
man, and canno: do everything, or even
see everything. Why do not The planters
and the Colonial Council assist him? Why
not explain their grievances to him ; show
him where they think the evil lies, and
what remedies should be applied to cure
it. IF they did so, not Individually,
but as a body, he would then have that
local support which it is SO necessary for
q Governor to have, if he is to be able TO
carry q measure with the Home-Govern-
m0nH.

About nine o'clock last night a fire
was discovered in the house No. 10 a. b.
Company Street. 1t apparently origi-
mated from the accidental ignition of a
bed through careleSsnesS in the use of o
light or lucifer matches. Prompt attend
ance of those around soon ~extinguished it,
even before the arrival of the engines.
The usual noise and hustle on this, as
on other occasions. was very observable
from want of order and discipline. Every
one gives commands, and, of course, is
sure TO be dispIeased when no one obeys,
and he finds it difficult TO carry his own
order into execution. We cannot omit
again to urge The necessity of the organi-
cation of a proper fire brigade and a small
body of special constab!es to assist the
Police at fires in maintaining order. Moth
ing can exceed the waste of force or la
hour expended on such occasions through
the want of proper direction. Every one,
it appears to us, is willing to do some
thing and yet no one does anything AS it
should he done. Could not the Colonial
Council move the appointment of a Com
mission to take this matter in hand and
carry it through in the course of a month
or SO2

Wheat Culture.

SoMa of the Western cultivators are be-
coming seriously alarmed at the steady de-
probation of the wheat crop in all the older
wheat growing States. The Prairie Farmer
Of the It'll Nov. has Il spirited article under
the caption - Where shall we get our bread?"
1t quotes the report of the Commissioner Of
Agriculture going 10 show that within ten
years the centre of wheat production will be
beyond the Mississippi. and that the yield in
California will, in a few years, be reduced
from the fifty or sixty bushels to the acre,
which it is now, 70 ten OF twelve bushels.
The editor states that Ohio within the past
three years has imported 10000, 600 bushels
Of wheat to supply her people with bread.
instead OF exporting from 6 to $1,000, 600
per year, which it formerly did.
This article was followed By another the
succeeding week, which was republished in
part in our last paper. We wish to call at
tention particularly TO the proposition of the
Pr1iris Farmer for a convention Of wheat
growers to discuss various questions connected
with the subject. This is an Important matter
and it concerns the bread consumers of the
whole country, as well as tho bread producers.
The fact that the average product OF ILLINOIS is
reduced TO ten or eleven bushels per acre is a
conclusive proof that the present system OF
wheat culture is perfectly ruinous, and that
an entirely different methed must be inaug-
urated. The great distance to which wheat
is now transported, adds enormously to iti
| cost to the consumer.
This is a matter that concerns the East a

Butter = very high. and i. is desirable 10
increase the supply Of an article in such gen
eral use.
There IS but ore way Of doing this. We
cannot increase the number Of cows 90 az to
meet the demand this fall and winter, bat we
can by liberal feeding enable the cows that
we have to give more milk, or ut least we
can get milk containing from enc third to
one-half more butter. That liberal feeding
will do this there can be 10 question. What
extra food To give depends on circumstances
Tn quality of the grass at this season Is apt
to deteriorate, and even when there is an
abundance Of it, 4 little richer food can be
given to the COWS with greet advantage.
When grass is short there is still greater ne
eessIty for, and the advantage in providing
extra food. In many sections there is much
corn imperfectly cared, and there can be no
better way Of disposIng Of it than to feed it
out, stalks and all. to mich cows. This viii
save husking. If well cured and put in small
stacks, or III Il barn, with layers Of straw be-
tween the corn. very few Of the soft ears
will mold. \ liberal supply of such fodder
will keep M the dow Of milk until Christ
mas, and If the cows are provided with warm
stables, butter may be made nearly all win
ter.
When there is 80 fodder of this kind on
the farm, feed ordinary cornstalks. or hav
and straw, with q liberal allowance Of some
kind of grain or of oil-cake. Probably corr
meal Is the cheapest f13d that can he used
and so far as the writer's experience extend.
he has never found any trouhle in using it.
Four quarts q day to each COW have been
used with great advantage. and az the present
price Of butter such feeding is quite profita-
BILE. Some dairymen prefer to feed half corn
meal and half bran. When peas can be OBJ
tanned at about the same price as corn, a
mixture of equal parts Of corn and ~pea-meal
is perhaps the very hest food tina. can be
given to a COW. If wheat bran was cheap
say but a little higher than hay, we would
feed that also.
But our object is not so much TO say which
is the best grain 70 feed mich cows, as K
urge farmers to feed grain OF some kind. II
does not 80 much matter what-only give
the cows n liberal supply of food and the,
will return a liberal supply of butter. The
kind of grain and the way Of feeding it il
left to the Judgment and good sense of th'
readers. When it is convenient it is better
70 .:slop" the COWS. but if not convenien
the fodder may be ehafed and moIstene'
with water, and 4 due proportion of mea
mixed with it, care being taken that tn,

well a. the West. It il arrosting the atten-
ton of commercial men, and concerns us all.
The editor of the Farmer says, +" had there
been no virgin plains west of the Alleghanies,
there would be better crops of wheat grown
to day between the A~lleghanies and the
sea than there are. We have no doubt of
this.
There are many varieties Of wheat, among
which might be found those that are suited
to different climates and soils. Varieties
might be found that will ripen early enough
to escape the devastations of insects. This
subject requires study and careful attention.
The wheat grown in New England may not
De as white as that grown in a more Sonth-
ern latitude, but it is as sweet, and as nu-
%tritious, and with proper cultivation we get
more bushels to the acre than any but virgin
soils yield at the West. We have grown
fastidious about our bread, and sacrifice econ
omy to whiteness. There needs to be q great
reform in this respect.
Every farmer in New England should raise
the wheat consumed in his own family, at
least, and if he will select good seed and drill
it into well prepared soil, he can do it, and
thus obtain good, sweet, nutritious bread
much cheape than be now docs. The bring
ing Of bread ten or fifteen hundred miles by
land to feed farmers who are cultivating soil
upon which good bread stufI5 may be raised
must be an expensive mode of living. a
large part of our earnitgs must be paid for
transport. This should he saved at home.
The Inhabitants of the city, the mechanic
and the manufacturer, must purchase their
bread, and they will Of course obtain it at
the market, but the farmer should find his
own bread in his own granary.
Western men arc coPing back to the East
to learn more scientific methods of culture,
and are learning that thew have no right to
expect n continuation of large crops, with
out returning to the soil the elements which
the crops have taken from it. When this
lesson 10 learned, instead of the bread
centre" being at the foot of Rocky Noun
tains, or beyond, we shall raise a larger
portion of our breadstuffs in the older States
than we do now. E. Farmer.

MoRz SMALL FguI1s.-We are convinced
that farmers generally do not pay enough at
tention to the cultivation of email fruits.
We DO not advise any one to abandon the
cultivation of the large fruits. as they are
called but then. IN many parts of the coun-
try. apples. pears. plums and peaches have
become such uncertain crops that it will not
DO for the farmer to depend upon them alone
for his fruit. Every farmer should have his
table continually supplied with small fruits
and fresh berries, from the time currants be-
come fit for use to the end Of the season for
blackberries-a period of at last three
months-with enough besides to preserve to
supply his family the balance of the year.
Currants come first and they are followed by
googcberries. strawberries, and raspberries
and blackberries. The inducements to the
cultivation of these are, that they can be
successfully cultivated in nearly every section
Of the country, they are hardy, and they sell

ASHES FOR WHEAr.-A correspondent OF
the Rural Gentleman in Delaware, writes
strongly in favor of ashes to prevent rust 10
wheat, and from experience has found them
of great value. AS to the effect of ashes, he
ga y they have, like Sh~akespeare's sherry
sack, a +" threefold operation
/. The ashes operate as a manure uPon the
wheat, even in the limited quantity OF eight
bushels per acre. 2. They. push the wheat
forward several days, and in time to escape
the time of the " heading out Of the wheat.
And 8. They strengthen the stem. giving 1t
substance and solidity.
l may add one or two more properties OF
the ashes they afford just that kind of pab-
ulum or food, which is best for the devel
opment and perfection of the grain, and will
in nv opinion, also prevent the ravages OF
the fy in wheat. would here venture the
remark. that whoever once tries this expert
,nent will thereafter spread his wood ashes
unon his wheat. as above indicated and IL
40 doing, he will ettectually guard agains:
and prevent q the rust in his wheat.
