EXPENSIVE PLEASURE party
was given in Boston recently by a
wealthy lady in honor of her son just
come of age, heir to a large fortune
left him by his father who was one
OF the mathematics of Boston. No
pains or expense was spared upon
the party, which took place at Horti-
cultural Hall, and some idea of its
magnifcence may be gained from the
fact that no less than 5000 camelias
were used in the decorations, not to
mention Vulnerable roses, Gala, Ills
lies, and other choice flowers, rare
plant ect., the floral display alone
costing $4,000 Over a thousand in.
vitations were issued, and those
present were attired in the height of
fashion. The total cost of the affair
is said TO have been about $40, 1000.

CHERRIEs.-'The only cherry kinds
that can bear recommendation, after
twenty years of trial in Grant Coun-
ty, are the early Richmond, the May
duke and the Bel de Chorsey-the
latter French cherry, and luscious
fruit, but the tree not always hardy,
unless in charge of experienced
hands. The Mayduke is hardy and
tolerable bearer, the fruit very good
for pies. The early Richmond is cer-
tainly the most successful of any, as
a tree being wonderful grower and
hardy. and never failing as bearer
The fruit repens early, hangs on the
tree month and when full ripe is
black and sweet.
The common cherries we see about
the country, throwing up shoots SO
profusely, are all morelio seedlings,
in these parts almost worthless as
bearers, in the east and south often
very good bearers. They are useful
as grating ond budding stock for the
kinds above named.
The cherry kinds are always injur-
ed by the gum running from them at
wounded places-a wound often thus
diseasing the tree and causing its
death. Never prune cherry tree,
except about the time the new terms
inal shoots close their annual growth,
which time if we remember right is
about the middle of June or may be
the tenth to the fifteenth.
la these parts the birds arc great
robberssof cherry trees OF their fruits,
and body must either have so many
trees that the birds cannot devour all
the fruit, or else set by them with
shot guns and pop them over, especi-
ally the Jays and Robbins. At Du-
buque the fruit men are making for-
tunes out of the Early Richmond cher.
ries, but for each cherry orchard q
boy must stand sentinel armed with
a gun, of which the birds soon get 30
shy that they keep mile away.

Decision Against False Naturalization
Papers.
PHILADELPHIA, October l0.--In the Su-
preme Court to-day Judge Sharswood dis
missed the motion for rule on the prothonc-
tary court to show cause why an attachment
should not issue against him for contempt.
The Judge defends the prothonotary at
great length, and in the course of his de-
cision says he believes the seal of the court
has been counterfeited, and that false nat
uralizAtion papers are being issued with it.
The effect of this will probably be that
at the coming election inspectors will re-
fuse 10 receive votes of persons offering on
naturalization papers dated in September
which will throw out some ten thousand
votes.

Tribute in Memory of Lula LeConte.

That she is safe with Him, who hath the
power
Ger pain, and sin, and DEATH
This estimahle young lady, the only
daughter of John and Josephine LeConte,
departed this life, at the residence of her
father, at Columbia, S. c., on the 21st day
OF March, 1868, after a long and painful ILL.,
ness Of many months.
OH how hard it is to part with those we
lo'e! 1t is truly in that sad hour that the
heart feels the heaviness of it's sorrow,
and ycarus to hold the object Of it's deep
affection to it's fond embrace. 1t is then
that it gives up its treasure with the
agony of despairiug grief But whent lat
dear object is the child of our early and
tender love, the companion OF our ripper
years, and the light aud life Of our hearth
and home--O! il is then that we feel the
force of the crushing sorrow that settles
deep and often ted';ess on the soul! WHO
can tell the pang Of such parting? In
life, this highly accomplished young per-
son drew towards her the respect and love
OF all who knew her. Frank, open and
Ingenious in her manners, truthful and
affcctlonate in her nature, cultivated and
refined in her tastes, the purity of her
sentiments lent charm to her perso al
attractions, and added grace and beauty
to her bright and cheerful conversation.
Her qualities Of head and heart fitted her
for the companionship Of those who were
far beyond her in years and OF moro ma
tured experience. Always animated and
cheerful, she was free from the least touch
of frivolity, and yet she seemed literally
to rejoice III the sunlight OF her own ma
ture. To her, it Was all morning; the good
Father permitted her to see no noon-day
and no evening. Tho early dew had
scarcely dropped from the delicate flower,
when the Reaper transplanted it into tho
eternal gardens, to grow forever upon the
brink
-"Of Siloa's brook that flows
Fast by the oracle of God"
Herfaith in the hour of death gave strength
to the tender spirit, and planted her feet
safely upon the other shore. Retaining
her intellect to the last, the hope of the
Christian beamed in hnr eve :aa gave
color 10 ner every thought. Turning TO a
near relative, on one occasion, she said to
her: ''The wing of limo does not fly half
so fast as am willing to GO And, alas
she has gone! The garlands of parental
love will long be scattered upon her early
grave. She sleeps in the shadow of tie
gray towers of Trinity, under the protect
ing branches of the sentinel oak, and upon
the very spot of her own choice. She has

The LAST RAILROAD HoRRoR. One
of the most terrible disasters on re-
cord occurred early on the m orning
of the l4th instant, sixteen miles
West of Port Jerv;s, G.; .ho, .h New
York and Erie Railroad. a train, OF
passenger, cars was thrown. Of the
track by the breaking of rail, and
precipitated down an embankment
seventy feet. Thirteen dead bodies
and ffty-two of the injured are at the
Port Jervis hotels. One of the cars,
the least broken of the train, was so
firmly imbedded in the debris of the
others, as to prevent the escape of the
inmates, aud several were burned to
death before relief could be afforded
them. The accident unfortunately
happened OF one Of the worst spots
on the road; and as at Angola, the
cars were preoipitated over preci-
pice from which few feet, one way
or the other, would have saved them,
so in the present case the exact place
where the, disaster occurred was the
most fearful and dangerous for many
miles East or West, and the rough
character of the rocky ground rem
dered the injuries of fearful de-
scription. The most heart-rending
features Of the calamity were the
burning of the sleeping car and the
horrible fate of those poor creatures
who, probably only wounded blythe
fall, perished in the flames. The
cars, in going over .the embankment,
turned several times before the bot
tom was reached, and were nearly de-
molished.
