New STREET.--This street seems to
have been overlooked. 1t requires
ditching and grading, besides portion
of it is in state of nuisance, caused by
the quantity of offal deposited on it
from the bordering lots. 1t is is pop
ular thoroughfare, and is worthy the at
tention of the authorities.

AooIDENT.~-At the upper Depot of the
Seaboard and Roanoke railroad, six
workmen, were hurt. Yesterday morn
ing the people of down town were
thrown into an undue excitement oc.
casioned by report that six persons
had been suddenly killed by the falling
of a building. At once hurrying to the
scene, we found that the centre stave
had given way causing a rafter of the
Mechanics shop that is now under con-
struction to fall while the workmen
were placing truss rods, and before the
rods were in position the centre stave
gave way. The following named per.
sons were injured, they falling distance
of eighteen feet;
Hilary Williams, hurt slightly in thu
feet James FINLEY, hurt badly if no
seriously, receiving severe cut in tn,
head and back \; Judson HooAer hurt il
the back ; Thomas Vernelson, hurt il
right leg John Caskin, hurt in The
leg. We are glad that no bones wers
broken, and from what we could learr
from the doctors who were sent fol
with dispatch, all save FINLEY, would
be soon out.

A sERlo-CoMlc SIGHT. In the upper
part of the city was witnessed on
Thursday afternoon a sight at once
laughable and commissioning. A
young man, once intelligent and possess
ed of fortune-but who has long since
descended into the slough of poverty
and degradation---was seen Keeling with
intoxication, with his hands tied behind
him, and the words, Don't give this
man any more liquor" written in red
chalk upon his back.
Such sight was truly sad to con-
template, and formed but another Illus
tration of poor weak human nature.
Obi that men should put an enemy in
their mouths to steal away their br aims,
and to consign them to degradation here
and perdition hereafter.

The New Crab APPLES.

L. /. FAIRcHILD, Of Rolling Prai-
RE, Wisconsin, says: GO for the
Transcendant and HislOp Crabs. They
are hardy as oaks, and productive.
Common sized trees commence bear
ing in a year OF two after setting. Any
one can cultivate and care for them
who has brains enough to raise a hill
OF corn. They are ornamental and
highly productive. Their size being
over an inch and O~ne-fourth in diam
eter renders them more desirable than
the small SiberiaBs. They are good
for sauce, or jell, and are nice to can.
A can on exhibition at our County
Fair was universally admitted to
make the best show Of anything
among twenty varieties. The Trans
cendent is fine to dry. It needs no
pairing, the skins all disappearing
when stewed. In the far North where
other apples prove tender, it is not to
be despised as an eating apple. The
Transcendent is a month earlier than
the RislOp.

The Agriculture Department Of the
AdUertiser is receiving many cOmpIi-
ments from leading AgricuIturists
and HorticuItuFists in various parts Of
the country. The following is an ex-
tract from a letter received from a
prominent fruit grower, AgricuItur-
ist and Horticulturist in the State Of
Iowa:
II have been much interested with
your paper, especially the H~orticuI-
tural Department. / take q large
number OF papers; but yours surpass-
e. them all in this department. OF
course, / do not compare yours with
strictly Horticultural Journals, but
the usual State and county papers.
The course you have marked out, pur-
sued, az you eem to be pursuing, will
be Of great advantage to most settlers
in your rapidly growing State. j
wish we had in this State, = Journal,
whether purely Agricultural, or local,
that would exhibit One-half the inter
est in Horticulture your paper does.
IL would give a wonderful impetus to
fruit growing. We have been hard
at work for fifteen years, demOnstra-
ting that with proper selections Of va
Tieties Iowa may become a great fruit
growing State. We have a large eX-
detrimental orchard Of 5000 trees and
$50 varieties. Permit me to say that
we have discarded lbs varieties, and
now recommend only about j, and
for real profit, only s. But Of
this experience some future time when
I have more leisure, and you feel dis
posed to receive It,"
We hope to hear more from the
writer Of the foregoing, on the subject
OF varieties OF fruits and his expert
ence.-ED.

III 81 nc True MefaI.5,


For fourteen years past we have
heard the eternal ''ding-dOng " cant
raise fruit hereg No, you ~canftraise
fruit unless you plant fruit trees
eOId Settlers" tell Us that this song Of
seams raise fruit,D was sung in Hi
nOis, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota
years aeO; and yet, men Of energy
Of mind; Of uneonquerable penever-
ane and pluck, have fought down
the obstacles and proved that fruit
could be raised Men Of the same
character, have proved thesame truths
in Nebraska. d. W. ADAMS, Of Wau-
kon, Iowa, writing for the WestSH
Farmer, says:
Fifteen years ago, / come to Iowa
and located near the Minnesota line
on q high ridge Of prairie go feet
above the level Ofthe Mississippi river
Il was called a good country but I'VE
can't raise fruit" Ny answer was .

ductive as I can reasonably ask The

there Is no trouble in Horticulture
But what I do mean is this-that a
piece Of suitable ground in Northern
Iowa, Minnesota or Wisconsin, plan

munerative for a term Of years as the

ask for that for il i what no farmer
expects Of his crops, but we cam In
the light Of our present knowledge,
plant orchards Of the apple (PyrUa
.N0FUsl with a reasonable expectation
Of reaping an ample reward
The growth Of the Siberian crabs
lPgv71 BGctutal or even tPJyIB COrO-
HGTidl, should not be discouraged and
future generations may inherit some
thing valuable from the improve
ments Of these species. But We want
apples, those Of = ; whOare now living
and fighting the battle Of life, we want
apples, and we want something be-
sides crabs, and we are going to have
IL. Some Of US already have apples by
the hundreds Of bushels, and we are
going to have more. We have enlis-
ted for the war.
Crab apples are good in their place.
A certain nook in our domestic econ
Omy is well filled by them. Under
repeated reproduction from seed, va
rieties are being originated Of larger
size and better flavor than the present.
II is an improved fruit. The tree is
very hardy and productive, and this
is I'm It's favor. But while the crabs
are being developed, 1 will have a few
St. Lawrence, Blue Pearmain, &c,
for myself and friends If you please.
