was short and impressive, as such occa-

THE CASE OF THE PoTTERs OF WILL
LIsToN.-The case of State as. Charles III.
and Adelia s. Potter of Williston, now
ponding before the General Term of the
Supreme Court in session at Montpelier,
is thus spoken of by the Free Press. We
give that journals comments from the
fact that one or more of the defendants
have figured heretofore as principals or
padicepS criBtintS in leading criminal
cases, among which was theGriswold muir
der few years since:
"This case, in which the public has
manifested an interest," more eager than
intelligent, was an indictment for having
burglars tools in possession, with intent
TO use the same for purposes OF burglary.
The parties Were tried in Chittenden
County Court, at the September term,
1868, and convicted. The case was heard
upon exceptions in the Supreme Court, at
the January term, 1869, and was con-
tinued to this general term for re-argu-
ment. The principal questions involved

that it was the prime object Of this order
to raise the fallen, to strengthen and en-.

which was found to be at the shop of

PinChing Cucumber Vines.

HAD a narrow border, not more than
two and half feet wide, on the edge of q
paved yard, enclosed by high fence.
planted three cucumber hills in the Dor
der, and laid some brush (such as is used
for pea-vines,) between them and the
fence. AS soon as they crept up to the
top of the brush, pinched off the ends
OF the vine which thickened rapidly
around the roots, and in every direction,
throwing out the most vigorous tollage
and profusion of flowers, ,.ar
did not allow the cucumbers to grow,
but watched them, and such as l wished
to reserve for the table picked as soon
as they became of proper size; all the
rest were gathered every day for pickles ;
every day pinching off the bud at the end
OF each shoot. In this way the hill con-
tlnusd fresh and productive until they
were touched-by frost. Some judgment
can be formed of the value of this prac.
tice when l add that more than barrel
OF pickles were made from three hills,
besides allowing a supply for the table.
Whenever the leaf began to look rusty
or yeliowish, it was removed, and every
cucumber and the leaf were cut off with
large scissors, so as not to disturb or
wound the vine There is an advantage
IN having them run up on brush instead
OF trailing over the ground; because they
are much injured by being trodden on,
and by being kept low on the bushes they
can be easily and thoroughly examined
every day, which is essential, because If
cucumbers are overlooked, and grow
very large, it stops the yield of that vine.
