THE WASHINGTON POLICEMEN PICK
UP A MAN WITH 100000 IN BoNDs.-On
Saturday, Mr.. 8. NJ. Ferrara, a prominent
merchant from New York, was removed to
the Providence Hospital, suffering from a
fit of temporary insanity. Mr.. Ferrara ar
rived in this city on Wednesday and took
fooi1s at Boyle,s Hotel On Friday be was
at the Owen House, and from thence taken
to the, Central Guard-house, it being dis
covered that he was suffering from a tenn
porary attack of insanity. On arriving at
the Guard-house, he sent for the Spanish
Minister and his secretary, to whom he
had letters of introduction from the Span
ish. Consul at New York, and they had
him removed to the hospital for medical
attendance. The strangest part of the mat
ter is, that when Ferrara was examined at
the Central Station, soc, 600 was found
upon his person in bonds. Although sew
eral reporters called at the station, Lieu
tenant Skippon, with his usual churlish-
ness, refused any Information, and issued
an order forbidding any officer to inform a
reporter of the fact. What did this mean?

Pruning Fruit and Ornamental Trees.

We read great deal about the propel
time of pruning trees, and especially the
apple tree. Some prefer fall. Some mid
winter. Some spring, but scarcely one
recommends the very best time--in oul
humble opinion midsummer. Doubt
less some old fogies will open their eyes
and hold up their hands at such an invo-
cation, and denounce it as an absurdity
but we will be sustained by majority OF
the 'livev men of the day.
If we desire to improve the form of a
fruit tree and get rid of some of the SUI
perfuous wood, we should prune in win
ter; but, If we desire fruit and perfectly
healed stump, We should prune from the
18th of June to the Goth of July. We have
done this with the happiest results. The
fruit buds form after this, ana the opera
ton suddenly cutting off its growth, pro-
duces buds, while the winter, or early spring
pruning, will produce only wood.
In pruning ornamental trees in mid
summer, the bark, instead of preceding from
the stump, grows, over it and in few
years will completely cover it and make a
perfect amputation.
We have noticed this upon eur own pre-
misses as well as upon those ofothers many
times. This pruning is done when the
tree is taking its midsummer sleets, and
then wake up, refreshing for another start,
and the bark gradually seals over the
stump as if ashamed of the shabby looking
exposure.
When the tree is in full leaf, and pre-
sents its full form to us, we can see ex-
actly where the pruning should be done,
in order that while the overgrowth may
be removed the symmetry of the tree may
be preserved. Especially is midsummer
pruning to be preserved, first to produce
buds on fruit-bearing trees as before stated;
and second, when large limbs are to be re-
moved. Germantown Telegraph.

ance with the programme, favored by
splendid weather. The Eleventh corps
numbering $4,000 men, with ninety-six
pieces of field artillery and the usual pro
portion of cavalry, under command of Gen.
| Won Boce, advanced in two columns, one
at Pont Neuiily and the other at Piont de
Jour. The. former advanced at pretty

troops vacating the streets as the Germans
approached. - ssfs

along the quay on the south side of the
Seine, direct for the Place de la Concorde,

is fixed. The zone surrendered to the Ger
mans was almost entirely free Of French.
This commenced at the extreme southwest
tern corner of the enciente, which forms a
point and runs in the shape of an irregular
triangle, of which the Seine forms the east
side the enciente from Point du Jour to

cautionary measure. Nothing could ex-
ceed the splendid appearance of the troops,
despite the hard service they had seen.
The rest afforded them during the armis-
tice seems to have obliterated most of the
traces of the campaign. They turned out
in as perfect order as if on a battle-ground
at home. There was no music, but drum
was beat and trumpet sounded. A splen-
did body of men, whose marching was
equal to the household troops, halted oppo-
tite Palais Industrie, which was at once
taken possession of by hussars. A few
Uhlans ride down the Place de la COncorde,
where they view with derision the faces of
the statues covered with Grape. The Ger
mans are astonished at the mournful as
pect of the city and the desertion of the
streets. The only incident observed was
when Frenehman, respectfully dressed,
went up to hussar sentinel and spoke to
the soldier, who replied civilly, when
workmen near beat and kicked the former
severely and uttered cries of Assassin! -
The German officers only laughed.

ROTATION OF CRoPs.-"The rotation of
crops on the Worth farm is corn, oats,
wheat, and clover, but the latter is soon
crowded out by the natural grasses, which
not only take but hold possession. We saw
fields of green grass that have not been
ploughed fer thirty years. Such sod is a
mass of grass roots, and being turned un-
der but a few inches, decays in time to fer
tilize the growing corn; and as the chief
part of the feeding roots of that crop are
near the surface, corn planted upon such a
sod, so plowed, finds the right food in the
right place-and 10 shelled bushels to the
acre says so.'' f1a
