The united press of Nebrasky City,
and the enterprising people Of that
place, seem to appreciate the fact that
upon their efforts, 70 a very great ex-
tent, depends the success Of the COM
ing State Fair. They are leaving
nothing undOne 70 make il the grand
eat Agricultural and Mechanical DEM
o~nstration ever convened in the west.
Our own people throughout the State
are fully aroused. Not only IN our
State, but in those adjoining, and even
those still more distant The season
has, in most respects been prOpitious.
Let Nebraska show off in her bright
est colors. People from q distance can
rest assured that every accommoda-
ton, both for "man and beast" win
be provided. Nebraska City is deter
mined that none shall go away dissat-
fshed.
One suggestion we make to the local
managers. You must have all the
ladies Of your place and vicinity
interested. To this end, give them
q separate building Floral Hall.
In this let your Fruits and Flowers be
exhibited. W. viii vouch for a grand
exhibition in this respect, if you will
give the ladies a chance to aid you.

1900 grape vines growing rapidly, and
all that have been planted two years

perhaps, California and Utah. My

have planted black walnuts, with
the hull on, for several falls, in fur
rows, covering them about the usual
depth for corn, and about eight out of
every ten have come up the succeed
ing spring and summer, and grow
from six to twelve inches high during
the first season. They should be
planted from six to eight feet apart
each way. I now have about $500
trees, and many Of them are begin
ming to bear.
The white walnut or butternutt tree,
1 believe is not a native of Nebraska,
but I procured four bushels Of the
nuts at Des MOines, and planted them
as I did the black walnuts, and the
result is highly satisfactory. Some of
them failed to terminate, and the
ground squirrels destroyed some, but
I have enough left to bring my sue
cessOrs several thousand dollars when
the trees become large enoughto make
sash, doors and furniture. Finish it
without paint, so as to show the nat
ural color and grain of the wood, and
it is as handsomea as mahogany, cherry
OF black walnut, and it is as soft and
and easily worked as white pine; and
an extract Of the bark is as good for
medicinal purposes as jalap, scammO-
ny or gamboge.
That terrible and destructive little
saw mill, the borer, is Soraging so raw
enously on the black locust and cotton
wood az to discourage the further
planting Of those kinds of trees, and
enhance the value of the black and
white walnuts, as worm wiz not bore
nor win animals bark them.

ton as to t1e action of the State Board
Of Agriculture, as to premiums for

Board were unanimous in declining to
offer premiums on fast horses, Or in
other words on speed, it was equally
unanimous In agreeing to aford every
possible accommodation to honorable
ROrsemeu who desire to exhibit, and
test horses as to speed. I therefore
announce that all such viii be well
come, and that all desired accommO-
CATIONS and conveniences viii be af-
fOrded, to their entire satisfaction.
The track will be free when not in use

reasons which seem sufficient First, I know the
W0ltsr Grape viii meet the preiudices widespread
throughout the country, caused by the WorthleSsneSS
in most localities Of many Of Its predecessors. Sec
ond, because 4 can say nom personal ooServauon
that the Hduer Is the best variety have had any
knowledge Of and I think I have cultivated nearly
an that have been recommended, diScarding them
all and falling back upon the Concord and Hartford
Prolific as vineyard varieties. I am interested In
knowing that the fruit Of the Waiter grows larger
fully Onethird larger than It was two years ago. It
grows well, sets fruit well Ihave seen II ripe sew
erai times before Hartford, and i have never seen
any miideW on its fruit or on its large and thick, but
Delaware shaped foliage. The flavor Of the fruit I
think superior 70 any other variety. You say in
your circular II is q seeding Of the Delaware and
Diana: i think the character of each Of these yarie-
ties IS quite distinguishable IN the Waller, particu-
make q wine Of high character. i have visited it
annually since II first bore, six years ago, three times
In Ulster Co, N. Y, in a low valley, where the 1Sa-
bella seldom rlpenS, and each time il was fully ripe
in August. I have seen il each Ofthe three past sea-
sons In POughkeepsie, ripening at the same time,
vented all varieties from maturing at their usual
time, but it perfected its fruit by the middle Of Sep
tember. The raisins of the last mentioned crOpl
have seen and eaten, which were good: From its
1Iodena, and also in the dry slatey position in
POughkeepsie, I think it VIII be well adapted to the
varied sections OF our country. You may make
whatever use Cfthese opinions you deem proper.

In making up 3 report for the Amer-

IN way Of correspondence, which we

Hon. r. ". Fura0s:
DEAR SIR-I have made a personal
examination Of a number Of the
gardens and orchards in this vicinity,
and find the following fruits bearing
and doing well.
The enclosed letter from DR.. Lowe,
I think, may be Of use to you, and
contains some timely par
ticularly on forest tree planting.
have found in all the orchards the
trees growing very rapidly. Many
quite large, but without sign Of fruit.
Perhaps we will have to plant our
orchards on the poorest land we can
find, or resort 10 root pruning. I
think the latter.

Pears, mostly dwarf, have been very
extensively planted, and in many
places are bearing very heavy crops Of
fine fruit. No doubt but any variety
will do well in this soil. Bartlett,
Buffum Seckel, White Doyenne,
Duchess, Angomleue and Vicar of
Wakefield, are doing well-lcaded to
the ground.
But few Plum trees have been plant
ed, but in several gardens there are
good crops on young trees.
Have found a few Peach trees in
bearing, but do not know varieties.
CRABS.
Yellow and Red Siberian, Hyslop

A Lima, Peru, letter of the 14th ult. states
that the commanders of the United States
steamers Kearsarge and Nyack, while those
vessels were lying at Callao on the night of
the Sd inst, called their crews to quarters and
commenced lively gun practice to show their
state of discipline. The firing alarmed the
whole town of Callao. The troops were put
under arms and the President in Lima was
telegraphed to, as it was thought at first that
a mutiny had occurred in the Peruvian fleet
When the truth was discovered the Prefect of
Callao received an apology from the command
ers for not notifying him, but the President
demanded an explanation from the American
charge d'afaires and used very sharp terms in
regard to the matter The charge made what
explanation he could and sent a report of the
facts to Washington. The next day another
alarm Of similar nature occurred at Lima,
and a serious conspiracy was discovered and

The WAR Is CtDA Private letters, by the
Havana steamer, Thursday evening. announce
serious fears of a negro rising in the island.-
Dreadful cruelties were being practiced, and
the garrison at Mogate was still held by the in
surgents.
A German gentleman from Santiago de Cuba
declares that the cruelties practiced upon both
sldes would hardly be believed. line lnsur-
gents who had been condemned were shot by
volunteers, cut to pieces with knives, the vol
unteers penetrating the most horned and in
decent cruelties upon the unhappy victims
while they were still alive.
He confirms the reports of suffering among
the insurgents for want of clothing, and saws
that young women are compelled to 90 abon
in state of nudity. The writer believes the
Cubahs are weary of the instruction, and if an
amnesty was offered by the government, and
they c0uid De assured that its terms would be
carried OUT peace would be restored at once
AT the recent outrages on negroes at Sagua all
tae males and females and children concerned
were called together in body when trial was
ordered, and the condemned were compelled to
pend on their knees amid lamentations. Wives,
chiiafen and relatives were first shot through
the mead and then Immediately bayoneted.-

He mentions the trial in cabin of two cap-
tured volunteers, who, upon being condemned,
the chief pushed out of the door, calling to his
negro soldier boys to amuse themselves, and in
moment they were set upon with knives and
cut to atoms.
