Exciting Pursuit of Robbers.

Terre Hante, April 2O.-Sixteen thousand
dollars Of the money stolen from the Office Of
the treasurer of Vermillion county have been
recovered. A farmer saw two suspicious men
last evening, when be called to them to stop.
Thcy ran. The farmer gave chase, and large
gang Of railroad laborers joined in the pursuit.
The fugitives fed 10 the Wabash river and
swan towards the other shore. 0neof them
threw from his possession a package, which
sOms Of the pursuing party secured, and it
vas found to contain sixteen thousand dollars
Of the missing money.
When the thieves reached the shore man
tried to stop them, and succeeded in knocking
one down with rail, but the other drew re-
volver and drove their antagonist oil. The
two robbers then took to the bush with no
clothing except their shirts and drawers. The
whole country is stirred, aud in their present
condition they can hardly escape capture.

FEED THE FRUIT TREEs.-It must be ap-
parent to every rejecting person that the
material round about fruit tree, which rem
ders important aid in the production OF fine
fruit of any kind, must necessarily be more
or less exhausted after vine, bush, or tree
has produced abundant crops for several sue
cessive seasons. For example : large pear
or apple tree will frequently yield from ten
to sixteen thousand annually. Many trees
have produced more twice these quantities
at one crop.
After few seasons, the materials that the
roots must be supplied with, in order to de-
velope fruit, viii be more or less exhausted.
For this reason, fruit begins TO fail; and the
failure is often attributed to the east wind,
or some mysterious atmospheric influence,
when in reality the sole cause is starvation,
arising from an impoverished soil.
The remedy is to feed the roots of all kinds
of fruit trees, with lime, wood ashes, gyp-
sum, chip dirt, bones, fishes, and anything
that will renovate an impoverished soil. 1t
/. evident that fruit trees cannot produce
fine fruit out of such materials as may be
desirable for some other purposes.

White Daisy in Meadows.

The white daisy is getting to be the prin-
cipal pest of our dairy land. Unlike the
thistle (Canada) it thrives in grass land-and
deteriorates when much plowed. Hence, a
fallow is good for it. But the grass crop
may be made an advantage over the white
daisy. Get an early heavy crop Of the June
clover and cut early, and what daisies may
be in, will not only be comparatively OF
small amount, but afford good feed second
only to clover, and preferred even by some
to that plant. Plaster the clover-and II
ashes in large quantities are used all the
better-and there viii be another flne crop
of clover principally-the daisies affording
good feed as before.
Here is no loss, but, if anything, an ac-
tual gain. 1t is true, we would rather have
the daisies cut because they are a weed. But
in meadows they are cf no harm, particu-
larly if cut early. Two crops should be tax
en-, and the aftermath will find them harm
less,
Orchard grass may take the place of cio-
yer with success, as it is as early and grows
as rapidly as the clover. But be careful of
the second cuttings, and cut as soon as the
daisies appear. Cut (at each timel when all
is in 4 tender condition, before the grass is
in full blossom, when just getting INTO
blossom is the time.
In this way the daisy can be kept down
and harmless. In pasture it is different;
here the plow would do well to summer fall
low, the crop of weeds making good ma
nure bed. This is the best way to treat
pasture land overrun with daisies. Now is
the time to see to these things.-F g. IN

Hiying Bees.

There are few people who understand ex-
actly how to manage bees,-that is to keep
the worms from the hive, taking honey, hlY
ing them, &c. A great many bee owners,
In hiving bees, use great many different
articles to make the bees remain in the hive;
but I think there is no necessity for any
thing at all; if anything, some apple leaves,
with a little sugar on them, rubbed in the
hive, is about as good us anything else; and
when YOU 90 to hive the bees. put the hive
under the bees, with one side raised with
two stones so as to let the bees go in. If
they are settled on low tree, you can bend
the limb down and shake them off by the
hive, and they will go up into the hive i'm
mediately; if they fail to go in sprinkle a
little water on them; but if they are In
large tree, and high, go up the tree and saw
the limb off, bring them down and shake
them by the hive | don't think it necessa-
ry to put them in the hive; put them down
by it, for if they will not go in from the
ground, they would not stay in when you
put them in.
have my hives sixteen inches high by
twelve square. put four inch auaur holes
in the top of the hive, and put box on it,
with glass in one side, so you can see when
it is full 1 put over this box, one large
enough to go over the smaller, to keep it
from being exposed to the weather. When
/ take the cap or box off, it is full of nice,
white honey, and by using caps on my hives,
I get better honey, never kill any bees, for
there are but few in the cap, and these |
drive out.-Gor. RuraL Nelo Yorker.

Deep plowing ha. ITS earnest advocates,
yet they have not as yet convinced the great
mass of farmers of its utility. 1t would ap-
pear the better way to upturn no deeper than
we are able to enrich. If the subsoil can
be stirred without being thrown too much
to the surface, and at moderate cost, it is
good policy to do so.

More tools rust and rot than wear out
Never allow farming utensils to lie out OF
doors when not in use. The sun, rain and
dew will injure them as much as constant
use. Never use all out doors for carriage

One pound of Copperas dissolved in six
gallons of water and sprinkled on the leaves
is sure death to the currant worm, which
lnfiicts such ravages on the currant bush.
1t kills not by contact with the worm but by
poisoning the food, so they die in a few hours.

THERE is one German paper - the
Stats ZjetIng in New York-which,
however enthusiastic it may be in the
cause of the Fatherland, knows how to
appreciate the pretended sympathies of
the Radical party in this country. ''Ger-
man Western Republicans, it says, "have
not the slightest reason to be thankful fo
sympathies that are of no sort
of use to them, while at the
same time their longing for relief
from the tariff-robbers under whom they
daily suffer is utterly neglected. In their
congressional nominations our Western
Germans, we are sure, will follow the ad-
vice rendered even by such Radical jour
nails as the New York EUenjlg Post
when the choice lies between a Radical
protectionist and Democratic free-trader
throw over the Radical Who would
trust his purse to notorious pickpocket
merely because he cried out hoch! and
hurrah for King William and Bismark ~
1t might also have added that the party
which refused to pass law, by which
German vessels could have found a pro-
lection, and German commerce progress,
during the war, have not sympathies
which are worth much.

The New York Times says that the
city "has more Southern visitors at this
moment, than at any other time since the
restoration of peace. Some of our larg-
est hotels are literally crowded with them.
They seem intent upon blending pleasure
with business, and not at all unwilling to
talk, and to act and enjoy themselves
generally, as though they had never
smarted under the process of reconstruc-
ton" The Philadelphia Age says the
same facts might be stated in regard to
that city, were it not for the mean. mis-
cradle, sectional policy of the Radical
press. The Age says they attack the
Southern people on all occasions, and spit
their petty venom upon those who wish
to benefit the trade of Philadelphia bv
bending the stream of Southern business
in that direction. There are some very
clever, large-hearted merchants in Phila-
delphia, and if is pity they have to suf-
fer for the Vindictiye spirit displayed by
the Radicals of that CITY.

A LARGE number of clerks are Just now
being sent adrift from the government de-
partments at Washington, and the Radical
papers assert that this is in accordance
with the economy programme adopted by
President Grants administration. That
will do very well to tell to those who
know no better. The New York Demo-
crat says: The truth is, most Of these
dismissals are of clerks who refuse to be
bled for Republican campaign purposes,
they having too much independence to be
made partisan tools of. Most of these
discharged clerks are from Massachusetts,
New York and Pennsylvania, and go home
swearing vengeance On the administration
and its party everywhere.

The chief feature of the address issued
by the Democratic State Central Commit
tee of Missouri, is the recommendation
that no State Convention be called this
fall, and no candidate for State officers
be nominated. This is done, as they say
because the prescription policy of the
Republicans has rendered an election
simply farce. The disfranchisement
of thousands upon thousands of the best
men in the State, because they were
known TO be Democrats, has destroyed
all courage and hope, and it has been
thought wise to abstain from making a
canvass until such time as it is rendered
at least possible for them to have fair
show at the ballot-box.

GEN. nROws N EAsr TENNEssEE

GEN. BROWN IN EAST TENNESSEE
= The last number of the GreeneviIe
National Union hoists the name of Gen.
Brown as its favorite for Governor. It
its editorial favoring the nomination of
Gen. Brown, the Union says of him:
Ae stands pledged to abide by the de-
cision of the convention. Instead of
being sthird party man we find that in
1868 he was chairman of the committee
on resolutions, which introduced resolu-
tons into the State Convention, from
which we extract the following:
"Whereas, the people of Tennessee ir-
respective of former party affiliations, or
differences of opinion arising out of the
recent civil war, in convention assem-
bled for the purpose of appointing
delegates to represent them IN THE
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION to
meet in the city of New York on the
4th of July next, etc.
Further along in this preamble the Con-
vention declare:
"They deem it proper to adopt the
name and designation borne By the only
political organization Nth sotSch they can
associate, and IN thus formally uraittn9
themselves aOith THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
as itnO1U EXISTS, they herewith declare
the principles they maintain, " etc.
Also a resolution was submitted declar'
ing Andrew johnson the choice of the
convention for President of the United
States.
| These resolutions were violently Op,
posed by many now claiming to be Dem.
Ocratic, and as earnestly defended by
Gen. Brown. To day he is the same thai
he was in 1868. He is neither the advo
cate of ancient Whiggery nor of ancient
Democracy, knowing, as do all sensible
men, that neither party now exists. But
he is the advocate of the living, present
Democracy, which is the only nationa
party that is fighting Radicalism. Ht
endorses the Democratic platform giver
by the Democracy of Ohio. He is moi
only in full accord with all the principles
of the great national Democratic party
but is in favor of adopting the name
| Democrat. I'D 8
Being ourselves Democrat, we unhes
itatingly advocate the election of Gen
Brown for the next Democratic Governor
of Tennessee, believing that if the helu
of State is placed in his hands he viii
never betray the trust confded to him
but will guard our State against corrup
ton in high places, and guide her in thu
ways of peace and prosperity.
AS Gen. Brown is now in East Tennes
see, and has recently visited Greeneville
it may be that the Union speaks by au
thority in giving the present position o.
Gen. Brown as beng "not only in full
accord with all the principles of the grea
National Democratic party, but in favo
of adopting the name Democrat.
