Orchards.

Every Farmer should raise an abund-
ance of fruit for his own use, and it will
be found profitable for market. Fall
planting is decidedly the best for APP
pies, and now is the time to prepare
the ground for setting. Decide upon
your location and the number of acres
desired and where the rows of trees are
to be plow a land of eight or ten fur
rows, and borrow, WELL This will
facilitate planting very much. We
prefer thirty feet apart each way, which
will give about forty trees to the acres.
Having prepared your ground stake it
off each way, placing stake four feet
high at each place, and when done
planting drive the stake firmly in the
ground and secure the tree to it. it
will pay. Get your trees from your
nearest reliable nursery and plant as
soon AS possible after taking from the
ground. Two year old trees are the
best. They can be bought for ten or
fifteen cents each, according to number
wanted. From the middle of October
to the middle Of November is the time
to plant. Strawberries do we'll set at
the same time.

The Federal Election Law Decided in Part
Unconstitutional.

Judge Cadwalader, of PHILADELPHIA.
in the United' States District Court.
was on Friday engaged with the trial
of Patrick McFadden, charged with
illegal voting at the last election, in
violation of the act of Congress of Nav
2lst, 1870. The Philadelphia North
American says: aht+iis iol Hs.-.
"The facts as proved by the Govern
ment were, that at the last election a
member Of Congress was voted for at
the twelfth division Of the, Second
Ward, and that in that division the
prisoner voted under the name Of Fred
erick Ramsden. There was no proof,
however, that he did or did not vote
for Congressman, and upon this point
arose very warm argument.
The section of the act under which
this case was tried, says that where a
member Of Congress is to be voted for
and a man votes at that election, the
fact of his having voted at all shall be
2''in,0 .tacie evidence that he voted for
Congressman. This, Of course, throws
upon accused the burden of proving the
llegative-that he did not vote for that
ottice-before any evidence has been
offered by the prosecution to prove the
atarmative-that he did not vote.
Counsel for the prisoner argued that
this was an invasion Of the rights of
the citizen, and against the maxim of
the law that says man shall be pre-
stunned to be innocent of crime until
that presumption is rebutted by evil
dence, and that therefore this section
was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Valentine argued against the
position, and in favor of the cOnstitu-
tiOnality of the law.
Judge Cadwalader held the section to
be unconstitutional, and said before
conviction could be sustained, the Jury
would have to say that the prisoner
had been proved to- have voted for Con-
gresham.
There are several other points in the
law equally unconstitutional.

Prevent the Decay of Wood.

An English Journal gives the follow
ing: GA process has been discovered
for the prevention of the decay of wood.
AS the result of IA five years experience,
a paint is recommended, which at the
same time possesses the advantages of
being impervious to water. 1t is COM
posed of fifty parts of tar, five hundred
parts of fine white sand, four parts of
linseed oil, one part of the red oxide of
copper in its native state, and finally,
one part of sulphuric acid. In order
to manufacture the paint from this
multiplicity of materials, the tar, chalk,
sand and oil, are first heated in an iron
kettle; the oxide and acid are then adj
ded with great deal of caution. The
mass is very carefully mixed and applied
while hot. When thoroughly dry, this
paint is as hard as stone"

They hope to obtain all the CHRISTMAS
TRADE they are able to supply, and solicit
that orders for special articles, or fruits,
fancy goods, etc., in quantities, be handed

Everything that the country and city
