commencement Of Hostilities


Toaoxro, ONTARIO, March 5.-A spe.
,cid despatch from St. Paul, Min, to the
Daily Telegraph says:
A letter dated at Pembina, February
81, gives startling news. Major Baulton
and DR.. Schultz, after occupying the
lower Stone Fort, moved on Fort Garry,
with force of 200 Canadians, English
and halfbreeds. Not being strong
enough to attack Ft. Garryy the encamp.
ed near by. Riel collected 500 men and
attacked them. Baulton, finding tha,
hut little assistance was TO be expected
from the settlers, surrendered, with fifty.
seven of his men, who were marched tc
Fort Garry, while the others, under
Schultz, retreated to the Stone Fort.
On the 10th Riel despatched 100 arm
ed men to attack Schultz William Gan
ley, one of Schultz's scouts, was captur.
ed and shot.
Later reports say that Schultz had left
the Stone Fort and was making his es
cape in the direction of the Rainy Lakes
Another letter of the same date says
Major Baulton, finding that the settler:
would not rise. became disgustcd, left
Schultz and started back NTH fifty-sev
en- men for Prairie La Portage, ant
before reaching Assinaboline they were
met by a party of Riels men to whom
Bauiton surrendered on demand without
firing shot.
"A few hours later news from For
Garry is to the effect that Captain Baul
top was court-martialed and sentenced
to be shot on the 20th.
+ CHICAGO, March 3.-The famous di
vorce case of the Baroness Mathilds
Won Claim VS.. Baron Hilderbrand Au

the Chicago courts for the past two O.
three years, was brought to close TO-
day. Tue jury, after being out forty
hours, returned verdict for the Baro

repeated cruelty, nor had she entered in

measure. The Republican nominations are
thus doubly unfortunate, and the result next
week can scarcely be considered fair test of
public sentiment in the Empire State. II Hoff-
man is triumphant, however, his party will be
SO badly damaged by the tactics now adopted
by the Republicans, that the hour for re-
deeming New York is near at hand. If one
more effort like that now being made is
strengthened by popular nominations, the
downfall Of Tammany rule is inevitable. The
rascalities of the Democratic leaders are SO
plainly exposed, and the disastrous effects of
their dominance are so clearly depicted, that
it is impossible for an intelligent people
to tolerate them much longer. Besides,
more determined efforts are being made now
than at any former period to prevent Demo-
cratic frauds in the city of New York. 1t is
estimated that her overwhelming maiorities
are usually swelled by fraudulent votes or
false counting to the extent of $4,000, and
the Republicans are undertaking with won
derful earnestness, and with the best assist
ance that the national courts and the
national army can give, to redress this gi-
gantic wrong. 1t is idle to hope that they
will be fully successful, but they will gain
such insight into the mysteries of Democra-
tic manipulation that the boldest braves of
Tammany will find it extremely difficult here
after to vote more than once.

WE REGRET that some of our contempora-
ries who distinguished themselves for their
opposition to the Penn Square site for the
public buildings are apparently not satisfied
with the overwhelming popular verdict on
the subject, and now vent their disappoint-
ment in unjustly finding fault with the move
ments of the commissioners. The commits
sion appointed by the Legislature to super
intend the erection of the public buildings is
composed of some of the best men in Phila-
delphia, and our citizens may rest assured
that they will do nothing whatever but that
which is right and proper. The assertion
that has been made with regard to the erec-
tion of the public buildings being big job,
out of which contractors will
make great deal of money,
is scarcely worthy of serious consideration.
The architect, the builder, and all others who
who will be employed to work upon this great
municipal enterprise expect to make money
by it, as a matter of course, or they will not
undertake it, 1t is the duty of the commits
sioners to see that the work is done in a
proper manner and that the contractors fulfil
their bargains to the letter, and we believe
that they will do SO. The contractors,
for their part, have a right to legiti-
mate profits, and if they grow rich
out of the job no one will have a right to
complain, provided the work is done properly
and its cost is kept within reasonable limits.
The opposition that is now being manifested
to the Penn Square site is not creditable to
those who are making it, especially as there
is not the slightest probability that the choice
made by the people of Philadelphia a few
weeks ago will ever be set aside under any
pretext.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

DESPITE the tremendous exertions made to
secure a fair election in New York city, the
Democrats appear to be confident of their
ability to carry the State by large majority.
The Republican nominee for Governor,
Woodford, is not the strongest candidate that
could have been chosen, while the Demo
cratic nominee, Hoffman, is the most avail
able man that his party could have put in
the field. The most damaging personal
charge made against him is that he is under
the influence of Tweed and Fisk,
but as the main specification by
which this charge is supported consists of
his approval of railroad bill prolonging the
power of the directors of the Erie Road, itfs
tOlerably we'll answered by the counter allie
cation that the Republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor voted for the obnoxious

Stirring Soil Around Trees.

Opening or tightening the soil around
the roots OF trees, either in the spring or
fall, for the purpose Of letting in warmth,
and affOrding . ffeer medium for the ex.
pansion and development of the roots, is
Of great value in promoting the health and
vigOr Of the tree. All trees, whether
fruit or ornamental, young or old, indigo.
nous or exotic, are vastly benefited by this
process. In old orchards, the soil about
the trunks Of trees, and to Q considerable
distance from them, In every direction,
should be carefully broken, and the upper
surface, to the depth of three or four
inches, removed in the spring, every four
or i've yearA Tho eggs of the curculio
and other insects are deposited in this
stratum, and, if not removed or destroyed
will produce insects, the Eavages of which
the succeeding year will be productive of
tar greater loss than the expense of re.
moving the soil, and replacing it with COM
post or IOam. It is an utterly hopeless
undertaking to attempt the cultivation of
good fruit, when no measures are resorted
to to obviate the fatal ravages of this detest-
able and insidiOus toe, and the remedy
now suggested is by no means expensive,
If we take into consideration the advan.
tages otherwise resulting to the trees from
its application. 4.Ha@ eat
ANY good soil, taken from the open
fields Or cultivated lands, may be used as
substitute for compost, and q very small
quantity will suffice. Even if no fresh
matter Is applied, l would recommend the
removal of the surface soil, and would
replace it when convenient. Chip manure,
or old dung covered with straw, answers
well for that purpose. = Germantown zale-
