AT NAsIlvILLE.-We was in NASHVILLE
on Christmas Day And we was an in

would publish the "Christmas Greeting

IN abundance with which to relax the

WHERE WILL They SToP?-An adver-
tisement in the Nashville papers informs
as that the " Berger Family (Swiss Bell
Ringers.) will visit Winchester soon and
give an entertainment. This is pleasant
news, for a good entertainment of some
sort would draw q crowded house in u
quiet town. But where will these musi-
clans, who propose to entertain our good
people, find entertainment for themselves?
Our hotel departed its life several days
since. Its bell had sounded three times
each day during many years, and, in the
absence of a Town Clock, its tones were
right welcome to others than those who
were informed thereby that a meal was
ready. The Swiss Bell Ringers propose to
ring tor for olr entertainment bur what
bell shall ring for theirs? Where will
they stop? Who will feed them? They
propose to ring out a little pleasure for us,
but can they ring in a little food for them
selves? Where can they find some little
bed, or several little beds. for themselves?
Echo answers: Wherel Perhaps Dech-
erd will afford them hotel accommoda-
tons. Dccherd has a hotel, and Decherd
is a growing, go-ahead town. 1t hardly
needs d hotel as much as Winchester, but
ithqS one, and Winchester has none. Oh!
Stocking!

CultiVating Young Trees.

The most perfect tree can be raised from
planting the seed on level land, with soil
of equal fertility all around it, because
trees, like most other things, lean to the
source from whence they derive their nOur-
ishment. In exposed situations, trees lean
from the prevailing winds of the country,
and should have more nOurishment APP
piled to the root next to the prevailing
winds, to COunteract their influence.
The reason why a tree bends to pile of
manure on one side of it is that it makes
wood faster on that side, and the heart of
the tree is soon nearer one side than the
other. 1t is notorious fact that all tim
Der springs from the heart, as all hewers
know, and when one side gets thicker and
stronger than the other, it bends the tree
toward the thick side. Trees attain size
faster without trimming than with. And
| have never been able to discover any adj
vantage in pruning fruit trees, except
sometimes when forks occur low down
and if allowed to grow would split apart
and ruin the tree.
Persons wishing to set out orchards had
better set out trees at one year old than
wait for them to get slim in the nursery :;
they are checked less by removal, and will
become profitable sooner
1t has been thought that fruit trees ought
to be six or eight feet high without a limb;
but experience has satisfied me that it is
better to let young trees branch as low as
they will. A person can gather twice as
much fruit standing on the ground as he
can creeping about on a ladder twenty feet
long. y short body is able to sustain more
fruit than long one of the same size. Be
sides, low limbs prevent the formation of
a sod under the tree. All young trees
should be MANFRED and cultivated as care
tully as vegetables. READER.
