 Mir. Stoughton said, "I can never, un- der any circumstances, vote for that can didate for that office" We do not believe | that the new board can be more subser- vient to the railroads than the old one 1. but they have none of the special qualifi- cations the position demands, as would have been the case had the governor been allowed to make the appointments.
 The New Haven Palladium publishes an account of most disgraceful affair which occurred near that place recently. Alfred D. Goodyear, money lender, who owns cottage on the West Haven shore. had repaired to it with his little son and a woman of bad reputation. His wife ! went to the cottage on the 4th to remove her chlld and was most brutally used by her husband, who kicked and beat her until she was almost insensible. The unfortu- nate woman was cared for by strangers and at length reached her home. We have looked over the court reports carefully since, and find that no prosecution has commenced against Goodyear. Nor did We expect any. Wives who are abused in this shameful manner are almost always advised by friends to "let the matter be hushed up." Perhaps she may get di- vorce but the brutal husband need have no fear of the police court. ts 4aoi. .5

 The New Milford Journal states that J W.Milner, Dep. U. s. Fish Commissions has been putting shad into the Housatonic He speaks as follows of the pretendet fishway at the Derby dam:
 Mir. Milner said he was ordered to pu the shad here, but didn't see what use il could be as they could never get up that fishway at Birmingham after once going to the sea. He also said that salmon could get up almost any fishway. but that it was impossible for any fish to get up the one which is constructed in the Der. by dam"

She was a music teacher. He played

door. 1t was one of those wooden cities
so common in this country, where each
house stands alone in its little garden.
1t was summer time and evening. All
the windows were open, and from every
side came scraps and bits of music from
sundry pianos, voices and instruments.
A flute walled over the way, where the
engaged man" lived. A voice and a
piano dueted where the young married
folks lived, and the young thing who was
paying attentions to the First Bap-
tist Soprano was trying the bass OF GER
tain touching psalms.
In the midst of it all, she, the music
teacher, began a slumber song. Then
the others paused to listen. When she
stopped there was little pause, and
then he played Kinder Lied. Silence

waltz. She felt better. Then he galoped,

It was becoming interesting. Every
note could be heard. The moonlight
fell through the trees, and it was very
calm and still. The freay roamed
through the garden, and the doorbugs

SCIENTIFIC AND SENSIBLE CULTIVATION OF
FRUIT TREES.
A correspondent of the Troy Times "writ $
up'' profitable apple orchard in the follow
ing interesting way
Mr.. Pel's father, who was noted for his
good Judgment in agricultural matters, stop
ping many years ago in the little village OF
Newtown (Long Island) observed two pippin
trees of English origin whose fruit was much
sought for. The one produced an apple
tinted with yellow and red and the other OF \
green hue, the difference in color being solely
caused by the difference in sill He was so
much pleased with the fruit that be deter
mined to create an extensive orchard of a
similar kind. The cuttings were obtained
from time to time; trees were planted and
grated, and after many years of persever-
apce and labor the grand orchard was in ex-
stence. Mr.. Pell then could show 200 acres
planted with the NewtowA pippin alone and
containing 21,000 trees. He then remarked
that ''lf each tree should yield his son one
dollar year it would be a handsome in
come" His plan, however, was eatly ex
ceeded, for some of these very trees have
yielded eighteen bushels at picking.
While 50 many rich sons tall victims to
prosperty. Robert L. Pell found his tastes
better satisfied with his country seat aud its
enormous crcps He studied the art OF pc
molocy and learned how TO assist nature in
Der efforts to support mankind. Commonly
speaking the apple tree bears every alternate
wear. Mr.. Pell determined to have an an
nual harvest, and to give his orchard hand
some start he sacrificed the crop Of bearing
year. All the apples were picked while green.
He had discovered that the germ of the next
wears fruit was in existence at the time of
the apple harvest, but that the tree would be
so exhausted that this germ would fail of de-
veopmeDt, and a year of rest would follow
be ore another crop could be produced. Hav-
ing stopped bis trees from truiting in the
manner have mentioned, he was sure of a
crop on what was generally the off year, and
ment which should abolish the off year sys-
TEN. He learned that trees require variety
of food, the chief of which is found in potash,
lime and soda, and his orchard has been thus
fed with all the success that could have been
anticipated. The potash is found in wood
ashes, lime is obtained from oyster shells at
low cost, (stone lime being undesilable)
while soda is supplied by common salt. An
orchard thus fed and judiciously pruned can.
not fail of success, and although this season
is generally short of apples, Nc. Pell cr D is
o: usual abundance. His plan is TO fill his
barn yard with swamp muck in the tall.
This absorbs the drainage, and it IS al the
same time supplied with the above men,io.n.o
