was fined fifteen hundred dollars
Can't he afford to pay that amount,
for the privilege of so large a steal?

The Neu England Farmer has these
suggestions on pruning:
There is less correct knowledge
among cultivators of the habits and
nature of growth of trees than in any
department of farming. With regard
to pruning there is one infallible guide,
namely: Never prune tree when the
cav you are using viii keep bright.
That proves that the pores of the wood
are full of thin sap. If they are then
GU. n.s. seq viii run ont. When shall
will gum up the saw. SO that It win
need washing once or twice in two or
three hours. The thin sap has then as
cended to swell the buds, and expand
the blossoms and leaves, and having
performd its required labor there,
what portion remains--but in thick
ened f3rm-returns down under the
outside bark, and increases the dame
ter. The sap vessels are now compar-
atiyely empty, and the tree can be
pruned, if judiciously done, without
much injury.
Shortening in trees is another matter.
Tha may be done in most trees at any
time without much harm, as none of
the large vessels are cut, and the leaves
below the place cut would be likely to
absorb the passing sap. The down.
ward motion of the sap takes place
about the middle of june. Then the
sap vessels are comparatively empty.
Alter leaves have fallen in the autumn
they are in similar condition.

aev . President il Elected.

The question is often asked us as to
how the President of the United
States is elected. We will answer:
Each State is entitled to as many
electors for President and Vice Presi-
dent as it has Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress.
In each State the electors are chosen
by q plurality vote. That is, if there
are three sets of electors voted for, the
highest number Of votes elects.
But candidate for President, in or
der to be successful, must have major
ity of all the electors.
If there be three candidates tor Pres
ident and none Of them receives q ma
jority of the electoral college, there is
no choice, and the election then goes
to the House Of Representatives.
The House must confine their choice
to the three highest candidates voted
for by the electors. The Represen-
tatives vote by States, and each State
has but one vote; SO that the power o.
Delaware is as great as that of New
York. A candidate, to be successful
must receive majority of all thu
States, or nineteen States. If the dele
CATION is divided, the vote of the STATE
cannot be cast, and therefore Is lost.

A Lady correspondent of Hearth
and Home says: 1--WE have just pre-
pared our winters supply of cucum-
Der salad, and this ID how we made it:
..There was about dozen White Spine
cucumbers lying on their vines, and
these we picked, washed, pared, cut
into strips, taking out the seeds, and
to each dozen cucumbers-which
warcut up into small pieces, like dice
Weput twelve large white onions,
chopped, six large green peppers also
chopped, one quarter pound each black
and white mustard seed, and gill OF
celery seed. These were all mixed to-
gether, a teacup of salt added, and they
were then hung up in cotton bag to
drain for twenty-four hours. Then
the salad with enough cold vinegar
added to cover it was put into stone
Jars and fastened nearly air tight. In
six weeks it will, be fit for use. 1t
looks as well as it tastes, SO white and
crisp, and makes an excellent salad for
joint of cold meat.

some eight years ago there lived in
this county family by the name of
King, who will be remembered by
most of our citizens. King was i'm the
habit of mistreating his family in a
brutal manner, especially his wife.
Ihls, Mrs. King would not and could
not submit to, and so determined to
free herself Of the burdensome life she
was leading. She accordingly started
to Corydon where she applied for a
divorce, and in company with gentle
man friend, started for the country.
where they intended to stay over night.
Shortly after they left the place, King
came along, enquired for them, and af-
ter learning the course they had taken.
started in hot pursuit. He is supposed
to have overtaken and murdered them.
but Of this there is only circumstsncial
evidence. He was however arrested
and taken to CenterviIle, for. his trial,
where he was cleared for lack Of d.
rect evidence. Last week he got into
another one of his atantrums" and dis
patched his daughter. He had been
shamefully mistreating and abusing
her, when she told him "she SUP.
posed he wanted to get chance to
kill her, the same as he had her moth
err. With that the villain struck her
on the head with q club, and killed
her: The people of Wayne county
could not bear to see man cleared bv
the law, that was stained by crime as
ne was. Some time during the night
some of Judge Lynch's men called on
him, and took him to the railroad,
stretched him up, and left him to dam
gle in the air. This should be taken
ls warning to "roughs" or they may
share the same fate.

: a 4
Mr.. J. F. Wilson made the follow
ing good points in his recent able
speech at Fairfield:
1Cincinnai and Baltimore keep up
separate organizations, each seeming
ready to apply Mr Greeley's fond and
favorite epithets of ''liar villain scoun-
drel," to the other. They are not ho-
mogeneous. They are distinct to each
other in past history, in present pur-
pose and hope, and in expectation of
future results. No high purpose of
kgreat national reform and public veal
acts for them as common cohesive
force. Their conventions are held in
doublets their committees are formed
in doublets their purposes are double.
Ii they arc actuated by the same mo-
tives, hold to the same principles, are
trying to compass great common
1 good, why do they not act as one or.
ganization? Why does each wing Of
this double headed concern claim that
the other has surrendered and is sub
ordinake2 Who at last is to be tn
| victim Of the palpable trick? Let tn
political tree which these two force
are now 10 diligently cultivating com
to maturity and bears fruit what vii
its products be2 Simply the apple Q
discord. The victors would At ono
be about each others ears, n a criminal
ing and recriminating scramble for th
spoils Of Office. The whole case is nj
natural and repulsive. 1t Isl polite,

CLOVER FOR HoGs!-An Ohio hog
raiser advocates the system of pastur-
ing on clover during the summer. He
presents, q the advantage of this plan,
the statement that an acre of ground
in clover will pasture five hogs four
months, and that 1t viii take the corn
from half an acre to feed them the
same time. The cultivation OF the
corn he counts equa1to the rest Of the
other half acre. He further claims
that hogs pastured on clover are in far
better condition than If fed on corn,
as they are better framed, healthier,
and eat better and also states that the
land is enriched by the clover pastur-
| ing.

thing about it, and they have de1l
nounced the Jacobs ticket all through

anyrate the Republicans voted es anasse

certainly have not lost their votes.
However, as the arithmetic people In

The action of the Louisville Conven-
ton is of no sort Of consequence as to
the final result, as it is now foregone
conclusion that Grant will be elected
by larger majority than in 1865
Nevertheless it is no use to disguise
the fact that the Louisville movement
is rapidly growing in volume, and that
it promises now to be equal in NUM-
beers and vastly superior in character
and principle to the Baltimore Con-
vention.
1t is quito apparent that this move
ment is being greatly accelerated by
honest democrats all over the land,
who might have voted for Greeley,
had there been any prospect Of elect
ing him, but who, seeing the.callapse
of the Liberal " movement, as being
inevitable, refuse to throw their votes
away, on the Chow-chow fraud
They propose now to add their support
to the candidates of the Louisville Con.
vention, to the end that they may
maintain the semblance of an organiza
ton retaining the principle of ancient
democracy, sothat they may have.a nu
cleus to rally around for future con
tests.
