Last week, at Petroleum Centre,
Samuel Stevenson was held in 5000
bail To answer a charge Of threaten.
ing to break Susan Stevenson's logs,
arms, jaws, neck and'other parts of h, I
body and with menacing her with a
pitchfork. w. b. Stevenson was also
charged with being Samuel's partner
in the smashing business, but he was
acquitted. All the parties are from
Cherrytree village.
On Monday last little girl named
Montgomery,livin in the Third Ward,
was so severely burned that she died
the next day. She WAS alone in the
room at the time of the accident, aud
II is supposed her clothes caught fire
while she was standing with her back
TO the stove. She ran out of the house
and was caught by passer by who ex.
tinguished the flames, but not in time
to prevent fatal results.
On wednesday morning last as
Amos Mckinley. aged about Is, son of
s. A. Mckinley, was on his way fiom
home, near Waterloo, to schooI, he
was met by a man named Pat. Tracy
who attacked him aud commenced
abusing him in a shameful manner.
Young Mckinley fought for few mo.
ments but was finally knocked down
with club which Tracy had with
him. Mckinley was rendered insensi-
bic by the blow, and while he was in
this condition Tracy took out knife
and performed horrible and unmen.
tionable outrage upon him. From
what we can learn of the affair it
seems that Tracy ami young McKin-
ley were rivals for the favor of the
same woman and that they had q Sc
rious quarrel once before. Up to our
latest advices Tracy had not been ar.
rested, although large force of mn
was in pursuit Of him. Young Nc.
Kinley is in precarious condition,
but it is thought he will recover from
the horrible revenge of Tracy. Tracy
used to be employed as workman at
the County Poor House.

The Opposition to Grant.


1t is a noteworthy fact, in the pend
ing canvass for the Republican Presi
Dental nomination, that, notwithstand
inr the New York Tribune, Springfield
Republican, Chicago Tribune, Cincin.
natl Commercial, and other influential
papers with large circulations, have
long and persistently opposed the re.
nomination Of Grant, they have not as
yet reached the great heart Of the pub.
lie, nor have they any tangible saccess
to point to, in any quarter, as the re.
suit of their opposition, The great
stream still flows placidly on, undis.
turbed by single ripple. The mass.
es of the people, everywhere. are for
Grant, as unitedly as if this opposition
had never shown itself. These news.
papers, it is true, can point to Sumner,
and Trumbull, and Fenton, as Sena.
torial Embodiment of their opposi.
tion; but neither the papers nor the
Senators can boast of any popular
backing.
The reasons are plain. The opposi-
tion to Grant is not based on principle,
nor on any shortcoming in his admin
istration, but is merely personal. The
utmost the Tribune can say is that the
administration might have been more
brilliant, and that patronage has not
been divided fairly among rival fac
tions. As to the first, the question of
brilliancy is mere matter Of taste.
We do not elect Presidents for the
sake of the splendor they may throw
arouEd their office, but for the useful.
ness with which they shall discharge
their duties. If Grants las not been
a brilliant administration, it has been
useful, and in all respects q success.
full one, and the people, we fancy, look
more to these points than to the more
dazzling qualities. As to the second
point, it is the mere outcry of bafiied
or disappointed factions. If men will
persist in building up factions in the
party, they must expect these disap
pointments. It's well settled prnci-
pie and has been since the days of
Sancho Panza, that where two ride
one horse one must ride behind. 1t is
impossible to satisfy both, when both
want to ride in front.
No CO nbination of disappointed
men ever yet made hesdway, on mere
ly personal grounds. in enlsting the
people on their side. The spirit now
actuating the opposition to Grant, ex.
listed in days Of Washington, and at
tackled him as bitterly, persistently. |
and as vainly, as Grant is now at
tackled. 1t existed, also, in the days
of Lincoln, and compassed heaven
and earth to defeat his denomination.
But the people gave no heed to it.
They were satisfied with Washington,
and with Lincoln. as they are with
Grant; and they will in like manner
securehis denomination and reelection.
Principles for all time, but mems lit
tie personal grievances, no matter how
much noise may persislently be made
over them, BOON vanish into the air
and are forgotten.-Er.

EvBRGRBENs.-1 am often asked tho
question: Can evergreens be trimmed,
and If 80, when is the best time After
quite number Of years experience, l
have found tho best time ? for trimming
.pines is after they have made most Of
tEeir growth, that is the white pine, Aus
train, Scotch and Corslcan.
S 1yergreens grow in the first part Of the
season, and after they are nearly done
growing, before the wood becomes hard,
pinch the new wood off with the thumb
and finger, or cut it with knife. This
= think, is the best way to trim pines.
Ri For Norway spruce and basam fir it is
best to trim carly in the season, before
they commence growing, say from the
drst Of March to the last of April, The
balsam does not require much trimming
unless it is cut off the side limbs, so as to
keep the tree in good shape. If the top

In little village in Vermont
there lived a farmer named Ransom.
They were not pious people-rather on
the reprobate order in tact-and they
never went to church. Once, however.
during a revival, the family were Pre-
vailed upon to attend preachiug.--
When they made their reluctant and
tardy appearance the services had be-
gun, and they had scarcely taken their
seats when the preacher gave out the
first hymn, reading it somewhat thus :
"Retorn, ye ransom sinners home" p
Cali right !" cried tho head of the
Ransoms, getting up in A rage and
clap?iog his hat on his head. "Come
along ole woman and gals, we'll go
home fist enough, and everybody in
this ole church knows We didn't want
to come.-HearM and Home.

GARDEN TOOLS.

Farmers who have gardens to cult
yate, will find it much easier to put
and keep them in good order by having
!. good tools aud appliance. A perfect
implement may cost dollar more thar
!. poor one, and enable the gardener to
I pay for his difference three times c
! week by the moro rapid work it will
do for the twenty weeks CT the season,
or sixty times over in a year. 1t is
therefore well to examine tho tools on
hand, put those 10 perfect order that
require it, and procure new ones where
desirable. In making garden beds
and planting seed, We citeu see nue.
needless labor expended in drawing
single drills in slow tedious manner.
A course rake, made specially for
making d,ills, will greatly expedite
the work. A simple and very useful
one for this purpose, consists Of
stout wooden head and handle and
half 4 do1en thick wooden teeth. The
head may be five feet long, aid have
ok teeth abont 10 inches apart. For
crops requiring wider rows, a larger
rake may be made, placing the teeth
foot or fifteen inches apart. Or the
teeth may be seven inches apart for
smaller Plants, and for large ones only
every alternate drill planted. Make
the first set Of rows straight, by ruD-
ming the outside tooth along the
stretched cord, and afterwards let the
same tooth successfully follow 10 tbs
last previous drill Two or three such
rakes, of different size would often be
OF great use.
In some gardens, in the absence Of
drilling machines, such small seed a.
turnips, &c., may be dropped rapidly
along the drills without stopping, by
mailing or sorewing small tin cup to
the lower end Of stick about the size
Off walking cane, and making a hole
in the bottom just large enough to III.
low the seed to escape. Walk along
the side of the drill, shaking the tin
cup over it by means Of stick haudle,
and it will drop fast aud we'll. With a
proper sized hole, peas may be drop
ped fast and uniformly. 1t is we'll to
mako several holes, Of dittercn: sizes,
and plug up all but the one in use.-|

MAKING ASPARAGUS BEDS.

!. In the garden Tor family purposes
new asparagus beds should be made
now without delay, though any time
this month will answer. The best plan
in making these beds is to cxcavate the
earth, whether it is soil or not, to the
depth of from twenty to twenty-four
inches, remove all the dirt except the
soil, and commence to fill up with Il
good layer Of horse manure, press it
we'll down, then layer OF soil, and then
manure again, leaving the richest ma
nure for the last eight or ten inches.
Plant tVc.year.old roots Of the Colos-
sal variety, three feet apart each way,
with the crown of the roots from six to
eight inches beneath the surface.
Keep the beds clear of all weeds,
grass, etc. The plants will make con-
siderable growth the first season, and
the third season there will be some
more spires 6t to cut. The fourth
season, three years after planting, the
bed may be considered in its full matu.
rity. No salt should applied until the
bed is fully established. While there
is no better fertilizer than sal. for a
BED once fully produced crop-to be
applied carly in April and as soon az
ter the fall dressing Of manure is fork.
ed In as may be conveniently is
death to the young plants Salt de.
stroyes the weeds and grass, and must
be kept from box edging and young
trees, or it will destroy them too.
