When to Prune.

THE NeD England Farmer has these
suggestions on pruning:
There is less correct knowledge among
cultivators of the habits and nature of
growth oftrees than in any other depart
ment of farming. With regard to pruning
there is one infallible guide, namely;
Never prune tree when the saw you are
using will keep bright. That proves that
the pores of the wood are full of thin sap
If they are then cut the sap will run out.
When shall we prune? When the sap is
thick and will gum up the saw, so that it
will 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 perform
cd its required labor there, what portion
remains-but in thickened form-re-
turns down under the outside bark, and
increases the diameter. The sap vessels
are now comparatively empty, and the
tree can be pruned, if judiciously done,
without much injury.
Shortening in trees is another matter,
That 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 downward motion
of the sap takes place about the middle of
June. Then the sap vessels arc compare
lively empty. After the leaves have fallen
In the autumn they are in q similar con-
dition.

Canning Fruits.

FRUITS are so abundant, and farmers
gardens are nowadays so rarely without
someone or more kinds to serve up for the
table, that there is no excuse for any home
to neglect attention topreserving andc
ming some for winter use. Better spend
five dollars on growing preserving and
eating fruits than half that sum for med
icines or doctors fees Fruits are our
healthiest and cheapest cures or preven-
tives for sickness and disease. The sim
plest general directions for canning are as
follows
A good rule is to use one pound of
sugar with four pounds of fruit, and
enough water, when heated, to keep the
fruit from burning. The cans should be
sOldered or sealed with sealing-waY, or
cement made of equal parts of resin,
beeswaX and tallow. Sealing-waX is best
for such cans as have groOved rims.
We give herewith statistical table OF
how long to boil fruit and how much
sugar 10 use:

Our Insane Asyiums.

A DECISION in the United States Dis.
trict Court in Vermont, says the New
York World, restored to liberty and to
the control of his own affairs citizen of
Philadelphia, who nad for throo yeors
been confined as lunatic in an asylum
in Vermont. The particulars of this case
have not yet been made public; but it
appears that the victim had made his
escape from the asylum, and we are left
to infer that had he not succeeded in do
ing so he might have fingered out all his
miserable days in the living death to
which he had been consigned either by
malice or by mistake.
Quiet people when they peruse Charles
Reade's ferocious letters to the press are
sometimes tempted to think that irritable
genius little 'olf his head But no
man has ever painted a more sane and
appalling picture of the miseries of q
rational man confined among madmen
than the author of "Hard Cash" II is
sickening to reflect upon the moral
tortures Of such position, and the
instincts of simple humanity apply
to it the ancient maxim of the
common law concerning the innocent
and the guilty. 1t is assuredly better
that nine madmen should go ounrestrained
than that one sane man should be dealt
with as mad. In addition to the case OF
which news just reached us from Yer
mont, rumor declares that certain able
lawyers in this city now have in hand the
wrongs of citizen of New York, who
but recently effected his escape from one
of our own local institutions.
1t is impossible, in short, to doubt that
our existing rules in regard to madnes:
and asylums for the mad, are quite made
quate either to prevent one of the wors
forms of wrong or to remedy it when un
dergone.
The regulation requiring the attesta
tions of two physicians to the fact that
they had examined the alleged lunatiC
and found him really insane is practically
of little consequence. It's value wholly
depends upon the character of the exam
liners. If they Oe men of learning anC
reputation in their profession, all is well
if they be the reverse, all is wrong.

A GOOD story is told of a Chicago dry
goods salesman who has the reputation Of
being somewhat of wag He recently
sold a bill of goods to country custom
er, who was expected to commit iustiha-
BILE insolvency as soon as he had disposed
of his stock. As it was the customers
intention to pay a small part of his ac.
count with notes, which might prove
worthless, the salesman-so the story
goes-added here little and there little
to the price of the goods, so that when
the purchase of some two thousand dol
lars worth had been made, of which all
but two or three hundred dollars were
paid in cash, there was no possibility of
the firm losing anything, even should the
notes 60 to protest The transaction
concluded, the customer besought the
salesman TO give him present OF some
sort, and the salesman accordingly pre-
sented him with q valuable red silk hand
kerchief. "That won't do" said the GUS
toner; "give me nice silk dress for my
wife, or something of that sort" "Can't
do it," responded the salesman "but I'll
tell you what I'll do-Pll give you back
your notes" "No," replied the custom
er, "hol! on I'll take the handker-
chief"

MEDICAL GUEsswoRK. The profes.
sional treatment of disease is in great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes this
hitor-miss practice is pursued until the
resources of the faculty is exhausted
This, in the truest sense of the word, is
emDiricism. But when the physician has
made valuable discovery, he is called
by his professional brethren are EDpirIc,
because he advertises the result of his
labor and research. When DR.. Walker
OF California introduced his celebrated
VINEGAR BITTERs as remedy for all
blood diseases, he struck tremendous
blow at the empirical system, as applied in
our hospitals, and in private practice.
1t was soon apparent that his
medicine was not a mere palliative or
alleviative that only modified the symp.
toms of disorder; but that 1t reached the
very source of the n1dlddy in the blood and
the secretions, and literally rooted IL out.
The process of renovation and disinfec-
ton went on together, vigor was impaired
to the organs from which the virus of
disease had been expelled. That such is
the effect of this popular vegetable
remedy, no one who has had opportuni.
ties of observing its operation in cases of
liver complaint, indigestion, affections OF
the bowels, gout, rheumatism, and
pulmonary disorders, can possibly doubt.

IMPORTANT LAW SUIT IN THE FEEDER
AL COURT.
SI,5OO'O0O Involved.

NIessrs Shackleford and Helms attor-
,neys, have entered in the Federal Court
here two of the most important law suits
in point of amounts involved and ques-
tions to be adjudicated, of any cases that
have ever claimed the attention of either
State or Federal Court.
In April, 1861, the General Assembly of
this State, with view of arming the
State, appointed committee to wait on
the Union and Planters Banks to know
how much money they would each loan to
the State of Tennessee, and the sum of
100000 was agreed to be loaned by each
bank. In September, 1861, an additional
loan of $3.50, 900 by each bank was made to
the State to be paid in war bonds of Ten
nessee to be issued by the State, or in Con-
federate bonds These facts appear from
the charges of the bills. The Northern
stockholders owning stock amounting to
$500, 900 in the Union Bank and owning
stock amounting to $3.50, 900 in the Plant
ers' Bank have sued the parties who We're
directors of those two banks at the time
the money was loaned, seeking to hold
them liable as trustees for misapplication
of the funds. The questions presented are
grave ones, but We suppose will undergo
the proper Investigation of this court, and
as the amount involved is quite large, we
suppose will go by appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States Union and
american. ....-..

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE CONTEST,
How the Vote VIII stand.

The election in New Hampshire comes
off next Tuesday. Last year James A.
Western was elected Governor, as Demo-
crat, by q majority of sO7 over Pike, Re-
publican. The Democratic majority in the
Legislature was 8.
This year the Republicans hope TO re-
deem the State and the Legislature and
choose Republican United States Sena-
tor. They have. a way in New Hamp-
well how it will go. ..
The New York Times explains it thus !:
The careful canvass made by the Repub-
lcan Committee shows conclusively that
the Democratic majority will be overcome,
and that on the general ticket the Repub-
ncans will have a clear majority of from
800 to 900. This canvassing of the popu-
lar vote prior to an election is something
unknown, and perhaps fmpracticable in
the politics of New York city, but here it
is an old established custom, and easy of
accomplishment. There are few changes
of residence, and the increase of thevoting
population being chiefly from young men
reaching maturity, the thorough organiZa-
ton of the party permits it, through its APP
pointed agent in each town and neighbor-
hood, to make up lists at heaC quarters of
the names of all voters in each locality
both for and against it, These lists have
already been made up this spring. and give
the State to the Republicans by about / 200
majority; but competent judges admit
the preponderance will be less than this,
probably owing to the fact that since
the canvass was made, there has
been slight increase in the temperance
vote, which will be drawn exclusively
from the Republicans. There are, it is
well known -four general tickets before the
people, being the Republican, Democratic,
Temperance and Labor Reform but the
two latter are scarcely disturbing the ele-
ments, as the first of them is credited with
only about one thousand, and the other
with half that number.
ESTIMATES OF THE VOTE.
The estimates put the total vote of the
state on Tuesday week at $4,000, being an
increase of about 4 900 over last year, which
leaves 1880 to be divided between the
Democrats and Republicans. Unless all
present signs prove to be false, the Repub-
Leans will gel ut least $4,000, but probably
q little over 81 600. In that case, although
the contest will be sufficiently close to
make the counting of the ballots an in
teresting operation, there will be suffi-
cient indication of popular feeling to make
the State sure in November for the Rep ut
lican nominee for the Presidency.
