English Rules for Preserving Fruit,

THE London Garden gives the following
as the rules of the Royal Horticulture
Society for the preservation OF choice
fruit oil lEoB @
1. AS the flavor of fruit is 50 easily af
fected by heterogeneous odors, it is high
ly desirable that apple and pear rooms
should be distinct.
2. The walls and the floor should be
annually washed with solution of quick
lime.
8. The room should be perfectly dry
with as uniform temperature as prac'
ticable, and be well ventilated but there
should not be a through draft.
4. Use the utmost care in gathering
fruit, handling as little as possible.
5. For present use fruit should be well
ripened but if for long keeping, it is
better, especially with pears, that it
should not have arrived at complete
maturity. This point, however, requires
considerable judgment.
g. No imperfect fruit should be stored
with that which is sound, and all more or
less decayed specimens should be imme-
diately removed. s
7. If placed on shelves the fruit should
not lie more than two days, and no straw
should be used.
s. Where especially clear and beauti-
full specimens are wanted they may be
packed carefully in dry bran, or in layers
of perfectly dry cotton wool, either in
closed boxes or in large garden pots.
Scentless sawdust will answer the same
purpose, but pine sawdust is apt to COM
municate an unpleasant taste. ~-a
8. With care, early apples may be kept
until Christmas while many kinds may
be preserved in perfection to second
year.
The rules given by American fruitgrow-
ers agree very we'll with the above, but
make especial mention that fruit rooms
for slow ripening should be nearly dark,
and the temperature low. Light and heat
hasten maturity, and next, OF course, de-
composition.

in regard to the actual cost in money
of the negligence exhibited in the proven
ton of typhoid fever in Great Britain, the
London Times makes the following curious
calculations: elf we suppose" it says,
"that its victims, during ten years, were
persons earning on the average only one
pound weekly five dollars), that six weeks
was the average duration that each patient
was maintained by others at the expense
of a pound week until death or recoV-
cry, and that each life lost was worth one
hundred pounds to the community ($500),
we arrive, by simple calculation, at the
sum of thirty-four millions four hundred
thousand pounds sterling ($172, 600, 000) as
the bare cost in money of typhoid fever,
for that brief period in our history. Sci

Secure Your Seed Corn.

TT is something in the kind of corn to

for that locality, and needs but superior
cultivation to make it superior crop.
There is something in selecting the best

A CURIOUS freak of nature is reported
near Cayuga Lake, N. Y. 1t is an oak
and pine tree growing together, so closely
one tree, and, in fact, they might be so
called, for they aze so nearly grown to-
gether at the root that no division line
can be seen, and the bark has nearly the
appearance of that of the pine.

ly looked for, or at least this is the prac-
! tice to some extent. But it is doubtful
whether there is much in this, as good
| cultivation, good land, and the corn well
apart, so as to admit sun and air we'll, are
| the main things, and will produce large
ears and two to the stalk; and this is the
case where small ear is planted, so that
| it is the cultivation and the nature of the
| soil that are to be depended upon. This
| is the experience.
Some facts are evident: That late
corn, or corn from the South, will not do
| fora Northern climate-there is usually too
great growth, too coarse, too much straw
and toolateripening. From the NORTH, corn
will be sure to be early enough, the straw
less in amount and better calculated Tor
| feed, so that it is safe to get them. Yet
such corn may not be the advisable
corn to get. There may not be, the
amount of corn or forage wanted, that IS,
it may be too small.
A medium-sIzed stalk, with large ears,
small cob, and early maturity, is what is
wanted in our latitude, say about forty
four degrees. Test it and see whether
it will do for the locality, or take
a similar corn that has done well,
and then rely upon cultivation and soil
for success. 1t is this that gives success
to corn. without it the best sorts are OF
little avail.
AS there is something in selecting good
seed corn, the farmer should see to it and
secure the earliest and handsomest ears,
such as he wishes to raise. 1t is prefer
able to cut up the corn when well glazed
and put in stocks to cure, not to dry, or
but slowly. 1t wants to mature or ripen
slowly, and on the stalks, and stalks
green while this operation is performing
After that it may dry more rapidly; but
| it needs the first few weeks to mature
(not dry it. Such corn, including the
grains, however contradictory it may ap.
pear, will make better corn seed than If
| left to ripen on the stalk.
But never hang your corn (for seed
over the corn in the crib. The stream OF
moisture which ascends, though invisible,
will hurt it-often will spoil it entirely.
Hang in the loft of some buildings where

A UNIVERSE All. ARTICLE OF FAITH.--In these days
Of religious contention it has been thought mpos-
sible to indicate an article of faith upon which all
sects and classes were united. There is one, how
ever and very notable one too, viz: belief
which is implicit and universal in the paramount
efficacy of that 1natchless HOUSEHOLD Tonic AND
REcUPERANT, PLANTATION BTTTERs The constantly
increasing patronage which it receives has, it is true,
exalted the petty envy of certain sp enetc adTer-
Users of pinchbeck panaceas, who hope to make q
market for their own stagnant, watery wares by de-
CRYING all spirtuous medicinal preparations But the
public can stomach neither their arguments nor their
potatons, and consequently reject these very weak
limitations of the enemy as entirely too thin!

At the same time the members Of the majority

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
LEEsBURG, Va, July l.-About l0o app!i-
cations for reduction ofassessments will be made

result, deduction from the large farmers, who
do not wish to sell, of twenty per ct. aud con-
seauent increase in taxation Of probably five to
ten per Ct upon the smaller farmers, owners Of
lots and owners Of town property Now a grave
question arises just here: When does this re-
duction take effect? believe it is we'll settled
that an act cannot be repealed by a subsequent
act on different subject; and also that no ex
post facto act can be passed at all. Chap. l59,

may hereafter be entered and assessed shall he

The act in force February /, 1872 is not in

fall back upon the act of the oath Of January

this last act for the relief Of the large land
owners of the State, and for the oppression of
small land owners, holders of town and city
property, and personal estate, cannot 90 into

lists of Virginia can get relief for only two. out

One of the Signs OF the times we think,
10 favor of Mr. Greeley, is the apparent absence
of enthusiasm in the ranks of the friends Of
Gen. Grant. The power and patronage of the
government are all thrown on the side of the
incumbent and are used, we fear, not only Wig
orously but unscrupuously. But there is a want
of rim on the part of those even who advo-
cate Grants re- election perceptibe. notwith
standing the spur of office and official emolu-
mcnts. The truth is, that apart from the ecat
of being successful General at the close of the
late war, and Of holding the position of Presi-
dent there is nothing about Gen. Grant, in his
character, bearing intellect, manners or any
thing else, to make him popular, or to excite
towards him esteem, respect or admiration.

BALTIMORE AND PoToMAC RAILRoAD.-A
party in Baltimore joined yesterday in the trial
trip on the first train running through from
Baltimore to Washington, on the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad, which is to-day opened
for public travel The new railway connects at
Baltimore with the Northern Central and
Western Maryland Roads, and through these
with the vast network of lines leading to the
North and West, among which are the Han
over Branch and Gettysburg Road the York
Branch Of the" Pennsylvania Railway, and
thence to Philadelphia and New York, the Co.
h,mbia and Reading Road, the Cumberland
Valley Road to IIagcrstown, the Lebanon Val
ley Road to Eastern Pennsylvania and New
York, the Pennsylvania Central, the Philadel-
pha and Erie, etc, etc. At Washington the
Southern lines are those which extend from
Alexandria to Fredericksburg, Richmond and
various other points Of connection with the
seaboard and interior, through lines of the
Southern States. From Bowie the southern
branch runs to Pope's Creek, near Port Tobac
co. On the western bank of the Potomac a
line connects at Quantico, ten miles above
Aqua Creek, with the Richmond, Fredericks'
burg and Potomac Railroad.
