A REMEDY FOR CrouP.-We
have been interested ii reading the
following statement made to us by
an intell gent mother. We give
our readers the benefit Of it, or at
least give them the opportunity to
test whether il has any hebetit:
A remedy for the Group was given
me BY a sister who heard it from
Prot. Bronson, a physiological lee
turer, since deceased.
"Iet a hea thy person fill his
lungs with pure air, then slowly
breathe upon the patients throat
and chest, comuienci e at the point
ofthe chin and moving slowly down
to the bottom Of the wind-pipe.
Repeat for d few minutes and it
will give relief i'll cases when all
Others fall"
My boy was always sbnject to
Group; came near dying with the
rattllng, uuisy, kind at about e'eyen
months old. | saved him with
water and ever after prevented an
attack by watchtullness and water
But when three yea old, let him
play III the brook one warm rainy
day, q d he took a severe cold and
had a still kind Of Group, the first
and last time he ever had it. In
spite Of all could do lie grew con-
stantly worse until he could only
gasp aid breathe with his head
thrown back We thought his last
mome,ts lad come, when thought
of, aud tried BrJuson's remedy for
. minute. When stopped he
looked up and said. "Do 50 again,
mother, do," though be could not
speak when ! began. You may be
assured did 50 again, and be-
lieye saved his liie.-Laacs of Life.
Coon MANAGEMENT OF THE
(iRApE-vISn. -. r. Nickerson,
the well known orchamist and vim
tager Of Lincoln, Placer county, has
hit upon a most excellent plan for
the management Of his vines to pre-
vent Injury from late fro.ts. Iiecom-
mences pruning in december, or any
time during the winter when con
venie.t; but instead Of completing
the operation, he orly cuts oft such
cafes Al he wishes to remove entire
ly from the vihe, leaving all those
upon which he proposes to produce
the next seasons crop untouched
and the fnll length. These he
allows to remain il this ,uudisturbed
condition tiutil all danger from frost
is past, when he again goes through
his vineyard, merely cutting these
canes back to the desired length.
The advantages Of this plan are
First-.Ihat by it a plenty ftimc
il had in which to do the first prun-
ing, BY far the largest bulk ot the
work. ssA
Secona--l'hat all the wounds
then male are dried over and healed
up without Bleeding the vine.
Third When the sap, starts ID

canes lett Oh the vines, and forces
out the buds at their extreme ends

proportion as their distance is the
least from such old wood. When
. late frost sIla happen these buds
eo,located and which are intended
u produce the seasons crop are but
little swollen, and consequently
but little exposed to danger from
such frost. Mr.. Nickerson's vino
yard was 10 treated the past winter,
and the socjnd pruning had not
been done at the time ot the severe
frost the first week of this month,
and his vines are, therefore, llllin-
jured 1t would be wei for AL the
yireyardists Of the State to make q,
