ROOT PRUNING.

Will you OF some of your correspon
dents tell your readers how and when TO
root prune have in my orchard five
Bellefeur apple trees, set thirteen years
ago, which have never borne five bushels
Of apples They have grown very fast,
blossom well, but do not bear. Rambo.
White Winter, Pippin, Pearmain and
some others, same age, have borne well
for three years. H.R.
CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,
Within the past year we have several
times described the process of root prun-
ing We will therefore reply briefly
Your Belletieurs, thirteen years old, prob
ably have a vast amount of branches
which could be spared; cut out this
growth so as to leave no more than is ac
tually required for fruit and leaves. Thos'
you leave should be we'll supplied from
base to top, with young shoots or spurs
Trees the age Of yours ought to be lively,
inches through the trunk. Go out thet
four feet, mark circle around the trunk
next open trench one foot wide an'
eighteen inches deep and cut all latera
roots. then fill up the trench.
Our own preference would be to do til,
work in the fall, winter or spring, whil'
the subsoil is soft. Theoretically, howev
er, the summer ought to be the best tim,
to shorten the roots One fact should b.
impressed upon the mind, that the opera
ton must always be followed by stirrins
the soil to the end of the season, or TIL
trees must mulched, heavily, from til,
trunks out a foot or two beyond wher,
the roots were cut Otherwise the leave
would lack moisture, and the buds a
their axles would not receive the neces
sary growth 70 change them to fruit buds

The investment Of Paris may be said to
have commenced. Foas hundred thousand
armed men will, IL a DAY OF two, surround
the city. and. as,ess some exterior force can
be brought e. asperse them, they viii re
main there 90 compel its surrender by the
SLOW b=t ssre process Of starvation.
The population Of Paris is about two nib
hoas: and if the Prussians cut of the sup
plies from the country. as they undoubtedly
will unless an armistice or a treaty Of peace
prevents it, nothing but 2 force sufficient to
raise the seige can save the city from it's
doom. Let them take possession Of the chief
lines Of approach and hold them, even with
out actually surrounding the whole city,
and the question Of surrender is simply one
Of time. Or let them get near enough to
shell the city from enc or two favorable posi-
tions, and the Parisians must submit. or have
their beautiful city destroyed. We see no
escape for them unless they can meet the
Prussian army in the open field, and defeat
it before the siege commences. of which
there is no hope. 1t is not the first time that
Paris has been threatened. but il has seldom
before been in such extreme peril. Yet the Re-
public has probably not much more to fear
from Prussia than from the Intervention of

Perhaps it is lucky for the provisional
government Of France that the Revolution
has not such a circulation in Paris as to give

thousand Of them, II thinks, would awe the

they might. and it would not be the first time

We are glad to be able to give to our
readers the opinion on this point. OF DIS
tinruished citizen of Vermont, who has re-
sided for several wears in France, leaving
that country Just before the recent declara-
ton of war: one, too, who To the adVan-
tages of an important official position added
the powers Of a clear thinker, and SOUND
and able Judge Of men and measures lie
told US in a recent conversation that whHe
his svmpathies were with the Prussians TIL
the surrender of Louis Napoleon ana Inc
proc!amation Of the French Republic they
were now wholly and heartily given to
France: that in his opinion France was ready
for republic and able, if unmolested, to
maintain one: that in spite of the corrupt
ing influences of the Napoleonic dynasty
which he had seen very strongly ILLUSTRATED
he believed there were enough Of intelligent
and patriotic citizens to lead and control the
ignorant masses. in the establishment OF
permanent republican government lie
avowed his very high opinion of most OF the
members OF the new provisional government
With the exception of Rochefort, in whom
be had had little confidence, but who he
thought was behaving exceedingly we'll
when placed under the burden of actual re-
spousibility, they are in his opinion equal TO
the posts they have undertaken to fill and
represent fairly the intelligence, PATRIOTISM
and integrity Of the best portion Of the
French people and he believed that they
could and would sustain themselves before
their countrymcn and before the world, If
allowed fair chance.
We were glad to hear this, for we had
feared twas otherwise-that with clergy
hating republican institutions; with an ig-
norant and oxcitable pcasantry, and with
horde of minions of the Napoleonic dynasty
and numbers of legi,imists, opposed TO
democratic government, there was little nope
for a permanent French republic in any ease.
But, added our informant saulE' 'uey
viii never be allowed To establish tie re-
public. All the other governments Of Eu-
rope will oppose it" Prussia, Eng
land, Austria. Russia all will agree
that it is not for their interest to see a re
public in France. There is little hope that
France can long maintain the war; and at
its close the monarchie- around her will
crush the new government, and permit no
government Of the people.
Such. in substance. is the belief of one
whose name, if we were ct liberty to give It,
would add weight TO bis opinion, and It

CLERK or THE HoUsE.-Appearsnce now in
dictate there will be quite active contest for
the Clerkship of the House at it's coming ses-
sion. The contestants are D. NJ. Camp, Esq,
Of Newport. the Clerk elect Of last year and
Henry Y. Newell, ESQ.,, of Shelburne, the first
Assistant Clerk of last year. We regret much
that any such contest should arise. Both the
gentleman named are competent for the place,
and each will doubtless be Clerk, if one can wait
for the Montpelier Freeman.
The Freeman will be glad to learn that the
expected contest over the Clerkship will not take
place. Messrs Camp and Newell met in this
city last week, and compromised their differen-
ces ; and Mr.. Newell has withdrawn as candi-
date for the Office, with the understanding that
in the event of Mr.. Camps election, he will re-
ceive re-sppointment as First Assistant. This
arrangement is honorable to both parties, and
will, we venture to cay, be exceedingly accepta-
bic to the Legislature.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Camp was
elected Clerk last year, and served the House
faithfully and acceptably till severe sickness,
contracted in the discharge Of his duties, CON-
PEELED him to give up work. Mr.. Newell then
performed the duties of the Clerkship, with
much credit to himself and to the entire accep-
lance Of the House. Both are thus fully quail
fed. by capacity and experience. We take
it that there will now be no opposition to Mr.
Camp; and with him and Mr.. Newell in the
important places Of Gle rk and First Assistant.
the legislature and the State cannot but be
well served.

notes, and fractional currency, amount to

balance with which the year began, and we
have total Of S56S poo, o32 30 FOR the fiscal
year ending June 20, 1870.

The amount expended IN the purchase of

These figures, which represent the great
transactions Of the government Cor the year
ending June 20, $50, are compiled from
official statements from the United States
Treasury. They tell their own story. The
Admins ration Of President Grant is fnan-
cial sue ,ess. He pledged himself to do his
utmost to retrench expenses and faithfully
collect the revenues of the government and
he has kept his word. The total decree Sc Of
the public debt since he came into Office. up

mont rs. amounts to 2le9, j43 ,409IO. This
is eq' lai to a monthly average Of S9,419,O6l.-
81 fo.' the entire period.
We believe that the majority of the Amer
lcan people will regard these figures as fur
nisning one very good reason why the party
now in power should be continued in power.
The next Congress, we have no doubs, will
be republican aad the next President will he
