Upon examining the papers connected with the
collection of these sums last mentioned it became
apparent that the SUM paid in on account of the
deiinquencies Of 1864 should have been appor-
toned and paid in under the separate heads Of
state and County Taxes and Of additional 10
per cent for delinquency" and that those for tie
years 1865 and 1866 should. in each case, have
been pail in as accounts separately derived from

The Auditor might have been justified by the
face Of the receipts in following the same course.
but having official knowledge, that portions Of

three separate sources of revenue, and which
were to be apportioned on different principles

Pruning Trees.

Qulre years to heal, and which, if NOT
carefully protected from the weather, will
cause such decay as to destroy the tree.
The method commonly recommended 10
prevent such injury is to begin at the bot
tom, and cut half way through, and then
finish from the top, or with very large
limbs, TO have them supported by a
crotched pole, or pitch-fOrk, held by an
assistant below; but we have found a
better plan, and quite as easy, to be 20
make two cuts, the first at convenient
distance, say foot, from the point where
we wish the limb removed. This short
stump can, except in the case of very
large limbs, be easily held in one hand,
while the final cut is made with the other.
After large limb is sawed off, the sur
face sheuld be pared smooth; and for
this purpose, We have often found a com
mon carpenters chisel, about two inches
wide, much more convenient than prun-
ing knife. To prevent decay, there is
nothing better than one or two coats oi
good Oil-paint; and it should be as near
the color of the bark as possible, so as
not to disfgure the tree. All tools used
In pruning, should be of the best quality
and kept as sharp as possible 1t is poor
economy to use any others.
Limbs are sometimes cut too close, but
for every such one, there are hundred
not cut close enough. Every cut, large or
small, should be made in a smooth, clean,
workman-like manner; a poor workman
is soon known by hacking off a limb with
dull knife, leaving as many facets as on
a multiplying glass.-ItLtOn's Journal Of

The Assassination COnspiracy.-A State.
ment by Spaugler.

Edward Spangler, one of the alleged
conspirator' in the plot to assassinate
President Lincoln, who was sentenced by
Military Commission, in 1865, to six years,
imprisonment at the Dry TOrtugas, and
pardOned by President Johnson in March
last, has made full statement, under
oath, of his trial and imprisonment, in
which he asserts his entire innocence.
This will be published here morrow.
Spangler, it will be remembered, was
carpenter or scene shifter at Ford's Thea
tre, and was on the stage when Booth
jumped from the box after shooting the
President. He also took care of his horse
and brought the letter to the theatre in
the afternoon few hours preceding the
assassination. The evidence was circum-
stantial against Spangler, one witness in
timating that he attempted to obstruct the
pursuit of Booth across the stage. The
Military Commission seemed to have some
doubt of Spangler's guilt, as he was sem
fenced to six years Imprisonment, while
Mudd, OLaughlin and Arnold were sem
fenced for life. In the opening of his
statement Spangler says that he
heard Payne, Harold and Atzerodt,
who were executed, implicate that
famous witness, Weichman, in that part
OF the plot 10 abduct the President.
Weichman's evidence caused the convic-
ton OF Mrs. Surratt. Spangler opens his
statement as follows. He says: l have
deemed it due to truth to prepare for pub
lication the following statement at time

and depositing an egg in each incision.
When the young slugs are produced
from the eggs, they eat the upper surface
OF the leaf in irregular patches, leaving
the vein and the skin skeletonized They
cast their skins several times, and finally
drop to the ground, and burrow into the
soil the depth of an inch or mere,

little gummy silk. Having performed
their transformation and become flies
they emerge from the ground early
In August and lay their eggs

After numerous experiments with va
ious mixtures, a solution of whaIe-oil SOAP
in the proportion OF two pounds of SOAP
to fifteen gallons of water, has been found
the most certain remedy, not only for the
rose slug, but also for plant lice, red
spiders, cankerworms, vine fretters, and
other pests of the garden.
A common sprinkler will answer for ap
plying this mixture to the upper side o.
the leaf, but in order to reach the under
side, garden syringe will be necessary
This mixture does no damage to the leaves
and on this account is preferable to al
others that are recommended for similsl
purpose. .-EIchaaqs.

How Eggs Hatch.

PEOPLE have an idea that the hen sits
on the egg for Il certain time, and that
when the time comes for Matching the
chick bursts forth. There never was q
greater mistake. The chick, until liber.
ated from the shell "by outside aid" is as
incapable of motion as if formed a solid
with the egg, which it nearly does. You
might as well enclose a man in an iron
boiler, and tell him 10 get out without
tools, as expect chick to get out of
the shell without help. The chick
grows and swells In the inside of the
shell, until at last the excrescence
on the point of the beak of the bird
presses against the inside of the shell, and
bursts up small scale; of course when
1t does this, 1t at the time breaks in that
spot the inside skin of the egg. This
admits the air; in short time it breathes
and gets strength to cry loudly. The hen
then sets to work to liberateit; ); she brings
1t forward under the feathers of the crop,
and supPOrtin.s it between the breastbone
and the nest begins the work of setting
her progeny free. She bitches the point
Of her beak into the hole formed by the
raising of the scale by the chicks beak,
and breaks away the egg skin or shell all
round the greatest diameter Of the egg.
The joint Efforts of the hen without and
the chick within then lIberate the prisoner,
and he struggles into existence, and gets
dry under the feathers, and with the natural
heat of the hen.
All female birds, which set on their
eggs to hatch them have the hook in the
beak strongly developed. Even the broad
billed duck and the goose have these hooks
specially developed, and with them they
llberate their young. La Australia, where
everything seems to be by contrarits, it is
the cock of the brush turkey that hatches
the eggs and not the hen. 1t would be
interesting to know whether the hook of
the beak is better adapted for this service
in the male of that bird than in the female,
the hook on the beak of the ordinary
cock of the common fowl is quite differ
ent from that of the hen-it is adapted for
wounding in fight, but not for the Matching
of eggs.-Erchdnge.

The Sensation OF Dying OF Starvation.

young colored man, who had been acci-
dentally shut in the hold of an Aspinwall
steamer, and had existed nine days on
board without food until his arrival In this
city He was sent to the ColOred Home
in Sixty-fifth street, and having regained
his strength, lately returned to Aspinwall
On reaching the home he was unable
either to stand or sit unsupported, or even
TO speak. His pulse was 1uttering, his
eyes were dull, and his feet and hands
were cold. His tongue was slightly coated,
his frame tremulous, and he vOmited
water OF syrupy consistence. A loud
systolic murmur was also heard at the
base of his heart.
An ounce was given him every fifteen
minutes of mixture consisting of two
ounces of whisky, pint of water, aud
four ounces of milk, until he became com
posed and was able to sleep. In half an
hour his pulse strengthened, and his geu-
eral aspect improved. Before dark he was
able to speak and sleep soundly. The
next day one ounce of milk and one ounce
of beef tea were given him. On the fol
lowing day he was much better, and was
allowed moderate amount of meat, vege.
tables, and bread. This treatment was
continued until his full restoration to
strength, care being taken to keep him al
ways slightly hungry.
On recovering his speech, he rctailed

with any severe sickness. He fell asleep
