A Shooting ARRAY.

About six O'Clock on last Sunday
evening, during the temporary absence
OF Mr.. Dunkin, the landlord, an affray
occurred at the Cowling House, in this
place, which came near resulting seri-
ously to one of the parties. The clerk
OF the house, John d. johnson, while
sitting at his desk. was approached by
the negro porter, named Hammers, hav-
ing in his hand a heavy iron poker, the
porter remarking to the clerk. 81 un
derstand you called me dau7s-ny
b-h,' to- which the replied that
he a4 did, Thereupon the, negro
struck at the clerk, the latter warding
the blow with his hand. The porter
was in the act. of repeating the blow,
when the poker was wrested from him,
by a bystander Hammers then threw
his arm around Johnson's, neck, when
the clerk fired a revolver which he had
previously taken from his desk. The
ball took effect in the negro's neck, and
he released his hold and sat down on a
chair, bleeding quite profusely. DR..
Toland Jones was called and dressed
the wound, which was thought
to, be mortal, but has since
proved to. be less serious
johnson gave himself up and was con
Quoted to Jail. On Tuesday, afternoon
the prisoner was taken before Mayor

INSECTS on PARLoR PLANTS.

There is a variety Of insects which infest
parlor plants, and, unless looked after very
closely, will destroy their beauty. The green
fly is a great pest to parlor and greenhouse
plants; but is easily killed in the greenhouse,
by filing the house thoroughly with tobacco
smoke at the close Of the day, and then shut
ting it up tight for the night. For parlor
plants, it viii be necessary to put them in
large boxes or barrels, and fill them with
smoke, and cover up tight. This viii efee-
tually destroy this destructive and disgusting
insect. By immersing the plants in tub Of
soapsuds, they may be freed from the fly. To
do this, a piece Of pasteboard should be made
to cover the pot, cutting a side slit for the
stem; then holding the hand over the paste
board, the pot may be inverted without dis
turbing the mould, and, by the immersion,
the foliage will be effectually freed from the
insect.
The red spider may be detected by exam
lining the leaves, which look yellow and sickly;
but they are so small it will require good eyes
to see them. This minute, ugly customer, is
not so easily got rid of as the green fly.
Plants from neglected greenhouses are infes-
ted with it. The most efectual way of de-
stroying this insect is to give the plants repea-
ted Swinging with sulphur and water, or a
solution of whale oil soap water. The plants
can be taken out of doors on mild day, and
the operation performed upon them, remem-
bering that it is important to syringe the un-
der side of the leaf as well as the upper side,
as the red spider viii be found in greater
abundance there.
There is another insect more difficult to get
rid of than either Of those named. tits the
mealy bug, which may be found in the axis
Of the leaves, and on the stems of oranges,
camelias, heaths, etc. It looks Ike little
specks of cotton; but, upon picking it of, a
disagreeable, ugly-looking insect will be
found impedded in this glutinous, cottony
substance. It's sometimes very troublesome
in graperies, and requires much care to get
nd fit. It's only to be destroyed by in
dustriously picking it of-EFom Breck

HUETIyG FOR THE Cows.-Many Of cur
farmers have wasted years of valuable time
just because they did not teach their COWS to
come home at night. Any one who has ever
lived or travelled in the country will remem.
Der the familiar Co-bos, Co-bos, of the far
mer's son, or hired man, as they endeavor to
coax the cows from the woods or the tall grass
in the great pastures. We have had little
experience in these matters, aud well remem.
Der how many times we have waded through
the brush and bog looking for the COWS, and,
boy-like, we thought them dreadful contrary
animals. But we have lived long enough to
learn better, and now think that the biped
was the more contrary animal Of the two.
Boys, we will tell you secret that will save
you great deal of trouble, and It is this:
just SOW a few rons Of corn in drills, where II
will be handy to the milking place, and every
time the cows are driven upat night, or in the
morning, give each one good armeful of the
fresh cornstalks, and our word for it, the COWS
viii always be on hand at milking time. Be
sides this, they will give more milk, and for.

HOW THE CHINESE MAKE DWARF
TREES.

We have all known from childhood how
the Chinese eramp their women's feet, and
so manage to make them ''keepers at home, y
but how they eontrive to grow miniature
pines and oaks in flower pots for half CEN
turys has always been much of secret. They
aim first and last at the seat Of vigorous
growth, endeayoring to weaken it as far as
may consist with the preservation of life.
They begin at the beginning. Take young
plant (say seeding or cutting Of a CEDAR
when only two or three inches high they
cut off its tap.root as soon as it has other
rootlets enough TO live upon, and replant 1t
in shallow earthen pot or pan. The end OF
the tap.root is generally made to rest on
Fat stone within it. Alluvial clay is then
put into the pot, much oft in bits the size
of beans. and Just enough in kind and guam
tity to furnish scanty nourishment to the
plant. Water enough is given to keep it in
growth. but not enough to excite vigorous
habit. So, likewise, in the application OF
light and heat. As the Chinese pride them
selves on the shape Of their miniature trees,
they use strings; wires anu pegs alu va AASN
other mechanical contrivances to promote
symmetry of habit, or to fashion their pets
nto odd fancy figures. Thus, By the use of
very shallow pots, the growth Of the tap
roots is out of the question; by the use of
poor soil and little of it, and little water,
any strong growth is prevented. Then, too,
the top and side roots being within easy
reach of the gardener, are shortened by his
pruning knife or scared with his hot iron.
So the little tree, finding itself headed on
every side, gives up the idea of strong
growth, asking only for life, and just growth
enough to live and look well. Accordingly,
each new set Of leaves become more and
more stunted, the buds and rootlets are di-
minished in proportion, and at length bal
ance is established between every part of
the tree, making it drawf in all respects.
In some kinds Of trees this end is reached in
three or four years; in others ten or fifteen
years are necessary. Such is fancy hOrti-
culture among the Celestials.-The Teehnolo-
gist.

village or city life, aad yet nothing is more
easy of accomplishment on the farm. Be

should young men hesitate to become farm

is the nearest approximation to independence
that man, as a member of society, can make.
