. Summer Pruning the Grape.

DR.. Warmer, of Cincinnati, now q
sort Of adjunct Professor Of the new To-
wa,Agriculturai College, advises doing
thiein very moderate sort Of way:
Our advice is to let summer pruning
severely and entirely alone, Let the
vine grow As it will. Save It's leaves, for
every leaf has corresponding root. We
made a bargain long ago, with our
vines, that If they would bear fruit as
we wished, they might grow as they
wished Never touch leaf, a shoot, or
a tendril. Let all go till the fall pruning
and then cut away all the old bearing
wood, and all the new wood, except
what you want, two or three canes, for
fruit bearing next year. Never touch
lateral. or anything else. Let everything
grow. Could you flourish with some
body continually cutting off . finger, or
a toe; bra buncli ofyour hair, or an eye
Let your grape vines alone,
good reader, and when grape time comes
eat, .drink and be merry, and thank God.

WHEN Aaron Burr returned to
New York city to practice law, after
his voluntary exile in Europe, he
found the late Rev. Jedediah Bur-
chard, then a celebrated revivalist,
holding a series ofprotracted meetings
in his family church. He attended
from habit, always went late, disturb
ed the services by attracting the atten-
ton OF the audience on account ofhis
notoriety as the man who shot Alex
ander Hamilton, and who had been
tried for treason. Mr.. Burchard re-
solved to rebuke him openly. The
next Sabbath when he came in and
got about half way up the aisle, tho
clergyman pause in his discourse, and
pointing to Col. Burr, said in the
most scathing manner. "You hoary-
headed old sinner, I'll appear against
you at the day ofjudgement" The
proud, defiant old man, standing erect
as ever, with that perfect composure
which never deserted him, and fixing
his fine gray eyes on the occupant Of
the pulpit replied: "Mr. Burchard I.
have observed through a long course Of
professional experience, that the very
meanest class of criminals are those
who turn States evidence |"

Mr.. EDITOR By the perusal o.
some ofyour recent articles on the i'm
provemont of our county seat, my
thoughts have been led in the same
direction, not only in reference to
Waynesburg, but, also, the rest of the
county. 1t is pleasure to know that
the spirit of improvement is abroad,
even if the blame must rest upon the
Radical Or progressive party for dis
turbing the placid waters Of indiffer-
ence and neglect which we have hith-
erto hoated on toour own disadvantage.
The time, we hope, has come when
many of our old fogyish notions are to
be thoroughly aired and ventilated.
Associations in every sphere oflife have
a tendency, largely, to mould and de-
velop character. Therefore, many
persons can readily grasp an idea with
the eye that to their ear is incompre-
hensible. We say that there is
much of. duty in the idea that our
county seat should be made the home

Brutal Murder of Negro at Hauptea-
The Murderer attacked BY . Mebsi

FORTRESS MONROE, Dec, 25, 1857 4
About one o'clock this afternoon;
Thomas Lattimer, Deputy Sheriff Of
Elizabeth City County, who resides in
Hampton, had some difficulty with
colored boy, some 10 or II years old,
and a colored man came along and
took the boys part. Lattimer was
considerably under the influence Of
liquor at the time, and, after abusing
the negro few minutes, deliberately
pulled out revolver and shot him
through the head. His wounds were
dressed by DR.. Mclaughlin, and, Al
though he still lives, but little hopes
are entertained for his recovery.
AS soon as Lattimer shot tho negro
he went into the house and locked
himself in. The news among the
freedmen spread rapidly, and soon a
crowd of them began to assemble about
Lattimers house. Some OF thecitizens
fearing riot endeavored to quell the
the excitement, but seemingly to no
purpose. The riot act was then read
but before it was finished stones were
hurled through the windows, and a
rush was made for ! tattimeps house
He endeavored to escape by jumping
through window, but was met by the
mob and beaten almost to death. He
was saved by the interference Of twoor
three colored men, who carried him
through the crowd to the Jail.
The riot lasted half an hour. Guns
pistols, and stones were used freely,
and several persons, non-combatants,
were injured. DR.. Hope is reported
to have been shot while dressing the
wounds of a colored man, but his
wound is not serious. As soon as the
riot commenced a messenger was dis
patched to the military post, about q
mile distant and la guard was at once
sent to quell the disturbance.

glad to know that since the war this
country is being settled by Pennsyl-
vania farmers. Under their honest,
industrious hands, the once Slavery
cursed valley will soon become para
disc of freedom.
In the meantime the circle of three
was faring sumptuously on the
products of the land. We now began
to speculate about the campaign. 1t
was seen that we were moving up the
valley in order to threaten Lynchburg
and the railroad, and thus draw away
part of Lees forces from Richmond.
An army under Gen. Crook was NOV
ing up the Kanawha valley for the
samepurpose. But it was dangerous
position for us. Lee could at any
time send a force through the gaps in
the mountain behind us, and force us
to retreat down the Kanawha, leaving
Baltimore and Washington uncover
ed. And nearly this same result oc-
cured when Hunter made his raid on
Lynchburg. But the utmost conf
dence was placed in Grant. We felt
sure, too, that our beloved Lincoln
would be reelected by an overwhelln-
ing majority. One thing was certain,
the soldiers would vote for him. In
our company but one man was tor

the rebel soldiers were unit in favor
of "the great commander"
Early Oh the morning of the 18th,

with them some idea of refined taste
and good breeding rather than load
of bad whiskey, bad manners and worse
morals. Much good might be done
in this way at our county seat but is
it necessary for all other parts Of the
county to await the sluggish motions of
the county seat to set an example ? BY

wealth at this age of the world should
not be so parsimonious as to begrudge
the small pittance of few hundred
dollars for some public benefit, say a

in Carmichals. But if there is not
enough ofpublic spirit in usto use our
money at home for a small and sure
interest, instead of sendingit West, and
losing both principal and interest, let
us at least have some Of the necessities
attended to. Now, Carmichels is
situated in one of the fairest portions

For the REPUBLICAN,
PxiSON LIFE.
BY A PRISONER.

There are three days most noted in
a Soldiers lile, the day Of battle, pay
, day, and the day on which he musters
for pay. The day after our arrival at
Bunker Hill being the last Of the
month, the troops were mustered. No
advance was made. May LIST, in ac-
cordance with a time honored custom,
people everywhere move on this day.
We therefore moved. On our way
, we passed the battle ground of June
10th, 1868. Gen. Milroy's forces,
when retreating after two days fight
ing with Buell's corps, were here at
tackled at daylight by body of rebels
= concealed and fortified in a wood, and
!, were scattered in every direction. As
we passed along we thought, our time
will come next.
We marched through Winchester
with flags streaming and drums beat
ing, but the whites only looked down
from their windows upon us with
seswling faces, forgetfal Of the time
when we drove the rebels out of the
town, and they came and begged for
even crackers to eat In pleasing con-
trsst to these were the smiling faces of
the negroes, who, as it was Sunday,
were dressed in their gayest clothing,
and as we passed them, showered
lown blessings on our heads. 1t is
strange, that with all their ignorance,
they knew enough to welcome Union
soldiers. We halted two miles south
Of town on the ground where the bat
tie between Milroy and Buell. began,
and where l first heard the ping of a
rebel bullet. Here we remained eight
days, which time was spent in drill
ing and picquet duty. l went over
the old battle ground, and helped to
bury some of our regiment who were
d, killed and hastily inferred. The
groves of many rebel soldiers proved
our men had fought well. But L sup
pose all traces of those groves are now
obliterated. No doubt the spirit OF
= avarioe has desecrated the resting
places of those brave men, and the
piough-share turned up the soil above
them. But they will all awake to-
gether. Let us revere their memories.
