HOW ARE TIE MIGHTY FALLEN.

Charged with Benstly Habits.
On Friday night as officer Henderson, OF the
Eighth precinct, was patrOlling his post In West
Houston street. he discovered man dressed in the
garb Of minister approach several little boys and
girls who were playing on the Sidewalk and en-
deavOred to fonde them, at the same time entering
into a conversation with them. Inrerrogaung the
children the officer ascertained the strange ndlvid-
ual had endeavored to induce them to enter an
alleyWay with him Tor immoral purposes.
Upon receiving the above information the officer

tiOn house, corner OF Prince and Wooster streets,

orderly conduct. He gave his name John Saun-

Ing coat buttOned closely up in the neck, with
large flowing sandy beard, was arraigned before
Justice Shandey at Jefferson Market yesterday, and
committed to the Island for six months but Will not

wealthy friends in this city who are already inter-
esting themselves in his behalf.

TIE CENSUS.

Census Manufactured in Newspaper
OHice-Its Accuracy Denied by Marshal
Sharpe.
New York was yesterday morning startled by the
appearance, in Of the papers in this CITY, OF the
figures supposed to represent the population of the
twenty-five wards complete. No seemed To
know exactly whether 1t was joke or intended az
practical representation Of the people, but it was
evidently unsatisfactory, ana proved, before the day
was out, to be all fg,1tS JdtLuS.
The census, as it has been published Is not only .
incomplete, but Is nOtorousy Incorrect and thes
returns were not obtained at the Marshaps Office.
General Sharpe says he has from the first been anx-
1Ous to produce an accurate census OF the city. The
fact that any other return would be most injurious 10
him as public man will naturally follow; any SUD-
serviency to party on his part shows this Inc De
pew census drew down on the author tnereOi SO
great an amount Of odlum that 1t Is scarcely
possible to conceive that any public ot1cer ut
the present day, no matter how great a
partisan he might be, would invoke on him
self the reprObatiOn OF the whole community by
any such attempt deprivIng the cltzens ol tneir
just representation. Marshal Sharpe deDounces the
report OF the return as 1t Is supposed 10 be

in most important particulars. The returns or about

StimuIants in Milk Fever.

The publication of the alcoholic cure Of
COWS suffering under this terrible and hith-
erto fatal complaint, has brought forth
great deal of discussion in the English ag-
ricultural papers. The veterinarians feel
aggrieved that the old treatment is found
fault with, and the COW feeders come out
strong with the actual results Of their alco-
holic treatment. Several London COW
keepers have appeared in print, and state
that their universal practice in such cases
Is to administer large and continuous doses
Of spirit, and with good success. Indeed
some 60 further, and declare that spirit is
a nalmost ceatain cure for pleuro pneumonia
as well as milk fever Now, the best phase
Of the cure seems to be that it can be tried
at any time while life continues in the an
imal. This being the case, it will, no
doubt, be extensively adopted. There is
no difficulty, unfortunately, in getting any
amount of whisky in any part of the Prov
ince. and it certainly is much better use
for it to apply to sick animals, than to bru-
taiize the animals master or owner Can.

About Bone Dust.

I. B. Smyth asks for our opinion on the
following:
l. The value of bone dust compared with
good stable manure, at $3.50 per load, and
the bone at market price
2. Does bone lose any of its properties
by exposure to the air?
ANSWER. The comparative value of
bone dust and stable manure will denend
somewhat upon the kind of soil to which
they are to be applied. If we could obtain
all the stable manure needed for the price
named, we should have very little use for
bone, except when planting grape vines or
growing cabbages and turnips.. For these
plants we always use bone, in addition to
other manure. Judging from our expert
ence with these fertilizers, we think that
when stable manure can be had for 81. 80
per two-horse wagon load, it is cheaper
than bone at $50 per ton, for any field crop,
or for top-dressing meadows or lawns.
2. Bone dust will lose much of its value
if exposed to the air and water; but to air
alone, very little,-Hearth and Home.

Cutting and Preserving Cions

From early in autumn until late in the
spring, we are asked almost daily this
question: "When is the best time to cut
clons from fruit trees ~ Our answer is
almost always the same, being simply. Now
to-day, or this week. If there is really
any best time, it is in late autumn before
very cold weather, but, whenever 4 sharp
knife is in hand, and an occasion presents,
from the best tine until the leaves unfold
in spring, take off the cions, and put them
where they will neither dry up nor become
soaked with water, as either extreme is in
furious. How long will cions keep is an
other question often asked, but very diff
fcult one to answer as it depends upon
circumstances We lately saw in an Irish
paper an account of cions being sent to
Australia, and after being tossed about on
sea and land for nine months, large por-
ton were made to grow. Cions may also
be taken from one tree and inserted into
another on the same day if circumstances
permit If there are any cions to be cut,
it is time it was done, even in the extreme
Northern States. At the South, and in
some of the Middle States, the time for
grating of most kinds of trees is already
past.-Hcarth and Home.

A Plum Enemy DESTROYER.

have three plum trees which seemed
healthy, bloomed well and promised good
yield every year, but when the fruit was
about half grown it commenced to drop off,
the result, of course, no crop.
In the month of February 1868, | trim
med them close, to try if that would be any
benefit. After | had trimmed them, /
thought of cure of Aliens patent Anti
Lamina-which had on hand for another
purpose, and concluded to try an expert
ment. l procured small whitewash brush
and long handle, gave two of the trees a
good coating of it, the other tree l left as ii
was. The result proved, the two trees
coated with the material, yielded splen-
did crop, the limbs had to be propped up
to keep them from breaking off The third
tree, which did not treat as above, had
its usual luck, no fruit. In February 1869
| gave this tree good coating of the same
material, with like good result-the three
trees bearing full crops in 1869. You can
make what use OF this you see proper, the
idea suggests ITSELF If it will keep away

Charcoal for Horses Wind.

Many years ago, l recollect horse be-
ing brought into the yards of Joseph Big
nal, a celebrated man for keeping hunters,
at Croydon. The horse was very much eff
fected in the wind, and could hardly move
from distress. In very few days this an
imal did its regular work as hunter, with
perfect ease and comfort to itself. Tar wa
ter was the cure. Tar is carbon. and char
coal is also carbon; charcoal in the pow
der is more easily given than tar water.
have tried it with most beneficial effect
and | think it stands to reason that the re-
moyal obnoxious gasses and fatulence from
the stomach of the horse must improve his
wind and condition.
Tar is frequently given with benefit in
cases Of chronic disease of the respiratory
organs but its effects are totally different
from those produced by charcoal carbon.
