MORE TESTIMONY. "A stormy au
tumn, "the oldest inhabitant" says, may
be followed by a comparatively mild
winter. However this may be, we have
certainly had remarkably stormy au-
tumn-thc most destructive in its floods
and winds throughout the States, from
Maine to Texas, and from Connecticut
to California, of any on record. The
elements having thus expended their
wrath in September, October and No

theory that the winter months VIII be
comparatively mild. At ell events we

Does Deem PIowing Pay,

1t seems that there are intelligent practi-
cal agriculturists who still have their doubts.
A year or so ago, David Petit of New Jer-
sew. wrote letter to the American Institute
Farmers Club. New York, the professed
object of which was "to demonstrate thet
deep plowing and sub soiling are of doubt
ful utility In the discussion which fol-
lowed the reading of this letter, stories were
told of Southern farmers who had ruined
their lands by deep plowing. One of these
cases, or similar one, is thus narrated by
correspondent of the Southern Cultigat0r
"Mr. Furse, ofBarnwell County, S. c., had
field of good sandy land on which his
overseer undertook to make crop. He put
his plows in, breaking as deep as possible
A splendid crop was the result. but it is
sud that Furse's land was entirely ruined
The overseer had killed the hen that laid
the golden egg, and bartered his land for
single crop. That man could not again get
employment anywhere in that neighbor-
hood. r...
The same witer presents another case
of ruinous deep plowing as follows:
Mr.. A. S. Jones had field of fine oak
and hickory land. close soil. with clay sub
soil, near Herschman's Lake. on the Savan
nah River. He, being gentleman of extern
sive information and ample fortune, resolv-
ed to introduce the innovation of deep
plowing with subsoiling. He broke up
his land, with the most improved sub-soiler,
to the depth of, perhaps, ten or twelve inch
es There came on wet spell of long du-
ration; the ground was level; the rain
beat, and the waters saturated it. Planting
time came on, his neighbors were laying off
and planting all around him, but never
could that field be traversed again, during
that spring, by horse or OK. 1t begged out
OF sight! 1t was not planted at all, and tall
saplings now sing their old-feld symphonies
above the luckless spot '- F.

An Old Mormon City in Missouri.

Last week we visited the ruins of the ar
cient city of the Latter Day Saints. About
thirty years ago the Mormons took forcihle
possession of tract of land about two miles
square, situated in the bluffs of Grand river,
in Davies county Missouri, intending to
erect temples of worship, etc. They laid
out the city of Diamond, and in short
time had congregatcd several hundred devo-
tees. They subsistcd l'y depredations COM
mitted upon the people Of the adjacent
country. From the settlers who were cock
istent with them We learn that the Mormons
took possession of the dwellings located
within their chosen spot of earth, and burn
ed the dwellings of those in immediate
proximity to them. They pretended that
through revelations made to them, they
knew that to be the veritabe Garden of
Eden. That here reposed the remains of
Adam. There are indeed some striking pc.
culiarities in this spot of ground, one of
the chief products of which is an endless
amount of crab apples, which to them, per-
haps, answer to the I" forbidden fruit" But
of the city nothing but ruins remain. Their
cemetery is now cornfeld.

Forest Trees.

Now is the time to save seed and nuts to
plant next spring. The black walnut is
one of the most valuable trees to plant
Gather the nuts and lay them in pile,
covered with leaves, corn-buts, or any such
thing, and let them freeze and thaw till
spring, and plant. Chestnuts should be
saved in clean sand, little moist, in box,
and buried in the surface of the ground,
where they will freeze.
We at the West do not like the yellow
locust; the borers or worms cat the trees
and destroy them. But the best of all for
est trees to plant is the European larch 1t
is the principal tree planted in Europe for
timber; it is the most lasting for posts it
is used for ship timber, wagons and carts,
hay racks ladders, and the many such uses
constantly wantefon the farm, besides rail-
road ties, telegraph poles, &C.
Timber should be planted thickly togeth-
er, that it may grow tall and straight; then
thin out for poles as the trees grow. Our
Western farmers are beginning to set the
European larch. They are mostly impor-
ted from the old country when one and two
years old. But We should be very careful
who imports them; it is simply matter of
life and death with them. My neighbor
got them through the wrong importers, and
none of them grew. l set $4,000 obtained
through the right importers, and they all
grew. Persons accustomed to handling
nursery stock are the right ones to apply to.
The wood and root of the larch, like the
evergreens. contains a resiny substance,
which, if once dried in the least, is fatal to
the root. Apply to some good nursery
man who deals in cvergrcens, and apply now
this fall, and you will be likely to get them
in the spring. The larch starts its growth
very early in the spring, and it must be set
out -Germdnt0rn Telegraph.

Green House and window Plants.

Give air whenever the temperature will
allow. and in greenhouses use fire heat when
absolutely necessary. Plants that are only
to be kept from frost. without regard to
bloom, may have the house as cool as 40, or
35 degrees, but Towering plants require
temperature of go degrees. ..
Bul5s--Bring those potted early into
warm place, provided the pots are well filled
with roots.
CamelLias.-Syringe frequently. Ii the
red spider attacks them, remove the infested
ones, and use redoubled care in showering.
Ctimbers.-Tropeolums Lophospermums,
Maurandias, and other soft wooded climbers,
grow rapidly from cuttings, and may be
useful in decorating the green house. #
Hanging Baskets.-Those IN dwellings are
apt to suffer for want of proper watering.
If the basket is of wire or other open work,
the best way to water it is to set it in pail

Desperate Wicked Act-Three Boys,

We have heard of an act perpctrated on
the 29th instant, near this borough, which

anything that ever took place in this county.
1t seems that on that day, three boys. Belong
ing to this borough or Mt. Carbon, it is not
yet definitely known, went out on the road
between this borough and Cressona, until
they had reached point about mile above
Hillside. About a quarter of a mile from
the house of laborer, named Hornickel,
several children were playing, among them
his son Frederick, between eleven and twelve
years of age, The boys when they reached
this spot built u fire, seized and dragged
Frederick to it and, most horribly, to state

found the injured boy was in a. terrible CON

been able to talk since the occurrence, and
is in a critical condition We understand
that the motive for the inhuman act is sup
