Greasina Wagons.

But few people are aware tn at they do
wagons and carriages more injury by
greasing too plentiful than in any other
wav. A we'll made wheel will endure
common wear from ten to twenty five
years, if care is taken to use the right
kind and proper amount Of grease; but
if this matter is not attended to, they
will be used up in five or six years.
Lard should never be used on a wagon,
for it will penetrate the hub and work
it's way out around the lemons Of the
spokes, and spoil the wheel. Tallow is
the best lubricator for wood axle trees
and castor oil for iron. just grease
enough should be applied to the spindle
Of wagon to give it { light coating; this
is better than more, for the surplus put
on will work out at the ends, and be
forced BY the shoulder bands and nut
washers into the hub around the outside
of the boxes To oil an iron axle tree,
first wipe the spindle clean with cloth
wet with spirits Of turpentiue, and then
apply few drops of castor oil near the
shoulder and end One teaspoonful is
sufficient for the whole.

FRANKISG PRIv1LEeB- Of the
most cheering auguries of coming re-
form is the rapidity with which Con-
gressmen are getting ashamed of the
ranking privilege, and one, the most
hopeful of the new converts is M. P.
Van Trump. Representative from Ohio
This gentleman, having been called to
account for franking the prospectuses
of a Columbus newspaper, not only
confesses that he acted undera mistaken
estimate Of his rights and promises to
offend no more, but writes long letter
to show chow monsterously the franking
privilege has "been perverted for years
by Congressman generally, of whatever
party" Having examined the laws on
the subject. he fnds that the privilege
of congressman covers correspondence
TO and from them, and printed matter
issued by the authority of Congress. and
all speeches, proceedings, and debates
in Congress, and all printed matter sent
to them" Nothing else whatever can
they send free without swindling the
Post Office. The franking of cam
paign documents, liniment puffs, dirty
shirts, and circulars is, therefore, in
direct contravention Of the letter Of the
law as well as the spirit.-Madison

work it had done in the neighborhood of his

THE FRUIT PROSPECTS.
What Our Country Exchanges Say.

What Our Country Exchanges Say.
We Gull from our country exchanges re-
ceived last evening, the following items
relative to the damage to the fruit by the
late frosts;
Last Friday was a cold raw day, and
towards night much anxiety was felt for
the fruit, aud all other tender vegetation
that had made its appearance above the
ground. The peach crop has got to be
one of much importance in this county,
both ss luxury and a marketable pro-
duct, aud its known sensitiveness to cold
induced many to sympathize with it. In
spite of the sympathy, however, the frost
came and the peaches went to the ground.
As far as We have seen and heard, about
half the peaches are killed. But this may
not prove disastrous after all. Kind and
sagacious nature provides for accidents of
weather by furnishing larger number of
young fruit than is necessary, and the de-
struclion of half will give fnller develop
ment TO the remainder, in delicscy aud
proportion.-CO Columbia Herald.
The late heavy frosts and freezes for
several nights in succession have destroyed
nearly all The peaches, and retarded vege-
tation very much. 1t ia, however, thought
that the wheat is yet u0iniured.- Wiaches
ter Home Journal
The recent frOsts and cold weather, it is
feared, has injured the fruit, though net
TO any seriOns extent, it is to be hoped. 1t
is the opinion of those who are close OBJ
servers and judges, that it had not arrived
at that stage which rendered it suscept-
ible enough to frost TO be materially dam
aged. If their opinion is correct, aud
doubtless tits, we have sanguine hopes of
a good fruit crop. A great deal depends
upon the location. Fruit upon elevated
ground will escape the effects of frost,
when that upon lower ground is killed. A
knowledge of meteorOlogy in planting
orchards is very essential, as experience
and science has onstrated.-CtarkSUilIe
Patriot.
The fruit crop has been pretty generally
killed throughout the country; there may
yet be few apples left, but the peaches
have been royed.-MurfreesbOrO Nscs
There were heavy frosts in this section
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights,
which pretty well settled the question Of 8
peach crop for 1869. A few trees Of the
later varieties may have escaped, but Our
friends in different portions of the county
express the opinion that the fruit gener-
| ally is kiIled.-Athens Post.
The recent cold snap has very generally
if not universally, in this section, killed
the young peaches Huntington YES
| TenneSseGn.
The frost and ice of Friday, Saturday
aud Sunday nights, says the Cleveland
East Tennessee, Bonner, about closed on
the peach crop in this section. As far al
we can learn, says that paper, but yer,
little, if any, escaped. We will have nj
peaches this season.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-04-10

We CLEAN the following items from the
Gallatin Examiner of yesterday:
Up to Tuesday morning six consecutive
white frosts have fallen, with ice each
night. Ponds were frozen over Friday
night last.
The breadth of corn land in this county
will, We hear, be very large this year.
The farmers are backward 10 fnishing
sowing oats. We have heard of no ona
commencing corn planting,
We still hear of large numbers of hogs
diving in this county of the cholera. 1t is
especially disastrous in the western por-
ton.
Large numbers Of fine beef cattle have
been shipped north the past week or two.
We notice several of unusual weight and
| condition.
THE FRUIT.-We very much fear that
| the chances for even small yield OF
| peaches, plums etc, are very small. AT
this writing Monday morning. we have
had three hard, white frosts, and our in
duiries from citizens from every portion Of
I,our county but elicit the uniform reply,
that the fruit is nearly all if not wholly
killed Possibly, however, in a very few
localities, a few blossoms may have
escaped the general blight. On
the north side Of the ridge, which
often escapes the frost when fruit ii
the lowlands is killed, we hear the same
story of the disastrous effects OF Jacl
Frost. We may, however, have better
luck with the apples which are always be
hind the peaches in blooming. We car
hear of no damage to the wheat from thu
excessive cold.
Per contra, on the peach question, VI
hear from several Of our farmers that
good many peaches have escaped the lat
frost.
