care must be, taken to give the roots
well worked and loosened soil as fast as
they need it. Tres may be planted on
timber land that has never been plowed,
and grow right along if a space of two
feet or so around be carefully worked
with the spade at the time Of planting,
and soon after this space enlarged in the
same way, and then, in the succeeding
fall or spring the whole surface ploWed.
By little care in this way, one may gain

At noon to-day squad of twelve policemen,
under command of Sergeant Shields, of the Fif-
teenth district, with Detective Wood, visited
the gambling hell No. 126 s. Ninth street, to
serve a warrant on Rober Lear and "Squirley'
Robbins, the alleged proprietors of the place.
This house was visited some time since, but the
policemen were driven off by the inmates. The
raid to-day was very successful one as far as
booty was concerned The policemen met with
no obstacle. They entered the house expecting
to find the objects of their Search but were dis
appointed to find painters at work on the pre-
misses, and two colored women officiating as
housekeepers. A search of the premises re-
vealed the presence of articles denoting the
business carried on within. They found two
roulette tables minus the apparatus, faro
table, number of cards. cue boxes, and other
articles. The booty was at once placed in a
furniture car and removed to the New Court
House. On the former raids the property was
stored at the Central Police Station House, and
the same evening of the day of the raid the sta
tion was entered, and roulette piece, valued at
several hundred dollars, carried off 1t was
concluded upon this occasion to remove the
property to place of safety. -.---

ANXIOUS TAX-PAYERs.-This morning an anX-
ious crowd of would-be taxpayers assembled at
an early hour in front of the Office of the Re-
ceiver of Taxes. The first applicant for the
honor of being contributor to the powers that
be was an old lady wrapped in a thin woollen
early as half-past z. She had long and cold
wait. By o'clock the large steps of the Office
were crowded with people shivering in the Bit
ter cold wind and waiting. At 9 o'clock, when
the doors were first opened, the jam was some
thing terrible. The crowd was so great as to
seriously interfere with the passengers on Ches-
nut street. If all people were as anxious to
pay their private debts as these appear TO be to
pay their taxes, how pleasant it would be for
all of us! Perhaps some legislation to this end
might be desirable. If the Government is able
to produce such spirit of anxiety among its
debtors they can certainly do the same for
private individuals and firms holding or repre-
senting D US.
