SHOOTING SCRAPg AT HAMILToN.-The
Inland Empire of the 10th relates the fol-
lowing:
A shooting affray took place in this city

of Davis & Howard, auctiOneers. and Oliver
Seer. The shooting occurred in or about
Towards sample room, north of TIE Silver
Brick Saloon Seer fred a shot from der
niger pistol at his antagonist, fortunately
without effect, however, after which the par
ties clinched and pummeled each other over
the head pretty severely with pistols. How
ard sustained two or three painful, though
not serious cuts and bruises about the face
and head, while Seer escaped almost without
injury. Too much whisky is assigned as
and man by the name of Thomas Graham
had been quarreling for several days, but had
finally arrived at a satisfactory understand
ing. Seer, through friendship for Graham
and the too frequent use of the ardent, re-
vived the quarrel. Some angry words passed
between him and Howard, when the latter
exhibited six-shooter, whereupon the for
mer drew his deringer and fired, the ball,
already stated, passing over the head of
its intended victim. Both were soon ares
ted, when Howard was released on his own
recognizance, and Seer held to bail in the
sum of $1,000, which he promptly gave.
Those who witnessed the affair pronounce it
a drunken row, in which both were about
equally to blame. The matter will probably
undergo judicial investigation to-day

Work iD the Vineyard


The vinegar should now be in the best
possible condition-everythlng neat,
clean and in order. 1t is often asked,
how long shall we cultivate the soil in
the vineyard 7 THIS will much depend
on the age of the vines and the eharac-
ter of the soil and season.
In the vineyard, the first year we
doubt if it is possible to stir the soil
to frequently or too long in the season,
provided the vines have been kept in a
continuously growing condition. We
have had vines kept constantly growing
and constantly cultivated till frost ter.
minated the action of the leaves, and
had we'll ripened wood, sound, well de-
veloped buds, that made gorgeous
growth that season, and one equally
good the next. .
As to whether it is better to keep the
vines tied up to the stake the first year
or not is, perhaps, more a matter of
convenience and opinion than one of
fact. In order to keep the ground in a
state of perfect cultivation, we prefer
having them tied up. The moving of
the shoots out of the way of the hoe,
and the sprinklipg of the soil over the
leaves in wet weather, impairs the tunc-
tions of the leaf surface and retards the
perfect development of the vine. Ly
ing loose, may make short joints and
compact wood; but order, cleanliness
and convenience, are best maintained by
tying up.
As to summer layers, where it is at
all admissible, it can yet be done, bnt
must be done at once; and the charac-
ter of the plants will depend very much
on the question of late or early frosts.
In the bearing vineyard but little
stirring of the soil would now be need
ed. Have the soil in good order, and
after the beginning of August but little
more is needed, and that merely keep
ing down the weeds. This can be done
by merely scraping the surface or
frequent cutting off with the scythe.
This season there will be but little
danger of starting the eyes on the next
seasons bearing canes by long eontin'
ued cultivation; but, where long con-
tinued dry spell had repressed the wood
growth, and particularly where aggra-
waited by cutting off the ends of the
shoots at tho top of the trellls-the
most disastrous results have followed to
the next years crop, by the "breaklng"
Of the buds on the cane. Steady, uni
form, regular, culture and growth, pro-
duces the best results. Impetuous, fit
ful culture, is, in many cases, more det-
rimental 70 vineyard than neglect.
To do every thing in the right time is
half the work accomplished.-Rnrdl
