Strange Phenomenon.

The Scottish papers mention a Pc
culiar aud striking phenomenon OBJ,
served at Braemar, Scotland, recently,
between tho hours of 3 and 10 P. N.
The SKY at the time was clear aud
starry, and the night slightly frosty,
while n dense belt Of dark clouds
hung like fringe along the northern
horizon. Suddenly a belt apparent
ly fifty yards 10 length aud six 10
breadth at the middle, tapering to .
sharp angle at both ends, was sesu in
tho southern heavens. Its position
was directly athwart the meridian, aud
about thirty five degrees above the
horizon. 1t continued visible for up
ards of half an hour, at intervals
growing faint, almost a mere speek,
bat speedily recovering its reGulgent
character without preeeptibly Altering
its position or shape. Its appearance
was Of filmy luminous white color,
at times slightly resembling the au
rorA borenlis, but its situation and
general aspect Of the heavens before
aud after It was seen we're such as to
preclude the prol ability Of it having
originated from the northern light
Of which no indications we're visible.

seasons crop of fruit arc trained to u
second stake, set in the row about
two feet from The vine. Should the
vine be a strong one, then third
stake is to be set on the opposite side
of the vine, to which one or two
more young canes are to be trained.
In pruning the vine cut away the
cano that produced the last crop Of
fruit select the best young cane for

to strength twist and bind to tho
central stake as before described
Also cut the remaining canes back to
one or two buds each, and the young
canes from these are to be tied to tho
outside stakes, as before described.
The treatment will be the same each
succeeding year.

with port holed windows along the
