NEW METHOD OF GRATING Mr.. Sui
Ivan Hutchinson, of Bristol, in this State,
has recently patented a process for ma
king fruit trees from limbs. Mr. Hutch
inson claims that by this method such
fruit bearing limbs as may conveniently
be spared can DE transformed into indie
pendent trees, that will continue bearing
from the first year regularly, as before
The process is as follows Into the
limb which is intended for the future
tree, small roots are grated, or in some
way inserted under the bark, inst above
where the limb is to be severed. Such
limbs are required to be from one to two
inches in diameter. Below. these roots
the branch is girdled A small box filled
with earth is enclosed about the limb in
position toembrace these roots During
the summer the roots grow, and the con
nection is formed with the limb above.
The following fall the box will be filled
with roots when the limb may be cut
from the parent stock and set in the
ground 1t is claimed that the next year
this new tree will bear fruit, just RS
though it had not been severed from the
original tree.-Neac Hampshire Mirror and

The Irish Decalogue.

The Coercion bill has muzzied the Irish
press. Men dare not speak above a whisper
Their grievances must not be discussed, MOI
even plainly expressed. Instead of befriend-
ing the oppressed peasantry of that island,
Gladstone has proved their worst enemy. He
has ont-Toried the Tories. The pent up fire
of righteous indignation has found vent in
the following parody on the Ten Command
ments, which congresses in few words a

Editors Union Thursday the 18th of Sep
temher was an interesting day in the history Of
White Hall. Mr. E. X. Wright, organized
Sabbath School in the neighborhooda few weeks
since. Mr. Wright with other friends of the
school gave the children pleasant enter
tainment in a grove near by on the above date
A platform for the speakers and seats for the au-
dience were arranged. The stand was set,off
with an arch beautifully ornamented with choice
flowers and evergeens and with the inscription
"Feed My Lambs enameled in white letters.
The committee deserve great praise for the taste
full manner in which they decorated the stand
and arch.
The day. though somewhat unfavorable in the
morning, turned out to be enc ofthose beautiful
autumnal days "the Indians loved so WE'LL" ge-
NAL and bright in its every feature. At 8
a. m, the children formed in a procession, bear
ing the ''Slars and Stripes" and beautiful ban
ner, having upon one side the motto ain God We
Trust" and upon the other "White Hall Sab
bath School," They marched to the grove,
where the exercises were commenced by singing
by the school and prayer by the Rev. G. Cleaver.
A very interesting address was then delivered by
Rev. DR.. Ryan upon the objects of Sabbath
Schools The school was then dismissed until
o clock p. m, when the exercises were resumed.
A dialogue entitled 'Eloquence," comic dia-
logue and poem were recited by the scholars,
| which were well performed. Addresses were de-
livered by Rev. A. w. Rudisill, Rev. DR.. Ryan
and Rev. G. Ceaver, all of which were listened
to with much satisfaction and appreciation, by
both children and parents. After the conclusion
| of the exercises the children were presented with
packages of candies, cakes, and knick-knacks, &c.
The day was one of enjoyment by all who par
ticipated in its exercises and children and grown
folks returned to their homes much gratfed
with the pleasures of the occasion.
The school though lately organized numbers
about one hundred scholars. Ii. L. S.
