Tom Wilson came to me with his throat cut

HORACE GREELEY A SECES
SIONIST.

In a letter to Fl. McChesney, Of
Troy, New York, dated September
%, 1862, and published in the New
York Tribune of the 26th of the
same month, Horace Greeley, speak
ing Of the rights of secession, thus
declares himself:
''But [ shall insist that, if it had
been proved that the people of the
slave states-or even of the Gotten
states alone-had really desired to
desolye the Union, and had peace
fully deliberately and authoritively
Expressed that wish, ne should have
assented to it. At all events 1
should"
No wonder that old Horace was
eager to bail Jeff DAVIS, the lead-
.er of the secessionists, out of Jail; no
wonder that he is now in favor of
assuming free pardon to Jeff, and
all the other leaders of the great
treason and do wonder that, at the
Cincinnati convention, the delegates
from all the southern states, sup
ported him for the nomination which
he finally secured. The gray Goats
ought to, and ma doubt will, give
old White Coat very hearty sup
port for the Presidency. He is just
their man.

THINNING FRUIT.

Hon. Marshall Wilder, in his address before
the American Pathological Convention at Rich
mond Va, stated:
This is lesson which we have learned and the
necessity of which we have Oftened endeavored ia
impress upon cultivatOrs, and which every success
siye season teaches with stronger emphasis. It is
absolutely necessary for all who send fruit TO mar
ket to send large fruit, and the markets are con-
stant1y and progressively requiring large and fine
fruit Even the Seckel pear, which once COM
manded in Boston market the highest price, will
not now unless of extra size, sell for any more II
as much as common varieties of larger size. A
medium sized fruit, or even one of smaller size
may be more economical for use, but until some
decided change III the preferences of the majority
of purchasers shall take place, large fruit will sell
better than small.
To produce this, the fruit must not only have
good cultivation but must be Timed, and we agree
with Mr.. Meehan that lone half the trees which
bear fruit every year would be benefited by having
onehaf of the fruit taken off as soon as 1t is we'll
set, and that the overbearing of tree will in a
few years destroy it.'' We may lay il down as a
certain rule that excessive production is always n
the expense of both quantity and quality; If not
in the same season then in succeeding ones, for
when branch, leaf with leaf, and fruit with fruit,
for it's supply of light and food, it would be in
deed an anomaly IN nature ii this should not re-
suit in permanent injury to the trees as we'll as to
the annual crop.

WHAT EQUIvALENT.-AB Boston paper
tells an anecdote with a moral ga
young lady friend of ours met in com
pany young gentleman who evidently
had an excellent opinion of himself.
During conversation he introduced the
subject of matrimony. and expiated at
length upon the kind of wife he intended
to marry that is, if ever he should take
the decisive step. The honored lady
must be wealthy, beautiful, accomplished.
&c. His listener quietly waited until he
ended, and then completely COMPOUNDED
him by asking, in the coolest possible
manner, And pray, sir, what have You in
return for all this?' The young man
stammered, Redeemed little, AND walked
away"

PIANO PLAYING. = A German
mathematician recently being present
at concert given by Rubenstein,
counted the notes which that famous
pianist had struck in playing single
piece, and found that they amounted
to 62,99O. The mathematician.
however, was not satisfied with this
enumeration, and, making use of the
kreutzer coin as a dynamometer,
tested the pressure requisite to strike
a key on Rubenstein's piano-forte,
and found it to be equivalent to the
weight of twenty-four kreutzers, or
two and one-ffth ounces. The pres
sure just necessary to strike the g.
$50 notes therefore amounted to
1861 pounds; but as some passages
were played fortissimo, it was calcu-

Experiments were also made upon a
piano of a harder touch, and it was
calculated that on this instrument
the pressure to perform the piece
would have amounted to 1926
pounds.
