This is S25S7 20 more than the expenses
of last year. The increase was caused by
building the new Hospital, making an ad.
dition and repairs to the building occupied
by the Steward, for the accommodation of
INDECENT sick females, and large increase
IN the aggregate number of patients.
During the past Winter the male patients
have suffered for want of sufficient room,
they have been to much crowded for health
or comfort. This has been source of much
annoyance to the Steward and in some in
stances it has made it impossible for him to
perform his duties in satisfactory manner.
recommend that house "a feet by 20
be built for the accommodation of such
male patients as do not require the special
attention of the Steward, or are able to help
themselves.
The subjoined statement furnished by Sam
uel Cooper, Co. Treasurer. shows the amount
OF revenue received by him for the support
OF the Hospital for the last two years.

GRAFTING OF FRUIT TREEs.--As the
time has arrived when grating is in order
We repeat our former advice that every far.
mcr should do his own grating. 1t is a
very easy operation when once understood,
aud this is readily done by seeing it done.
\ sharp pen-knile and good tine saw are
Indispensable. Splitting the stalk 50 that
the bark shall not be bruised, and shaping
the scion wedge-fashion both ways, pre-
serving also the bark uniniured, ana plac-
ing the rim Of the lc0Od OF both stock and
scion exactly together, so that the sap can
interminglc--the is no danger Of failure
if properly waXed. We make shoulder
to the graft aud think it adds to the GER
tainty of success, though probably it wea-
kens 1t. We prefer also two eyes or buds
TO graft, and would rather have only one
than more than two One years wood
should always be used when it can bc OBJ
tanned, as II is more certain To take and
grows more vigorously, and the graft
should be cut ifon bearing branches.
We wish 10 remind those preparing
graltiug wax, that we have found foEr
parts OF rosin, one uar; Of beeswsN, and Ont
part beef tallow, to be the best proportions
Melt them together in Il skillet, (Which is
best, or lineup, and mix well. 1t should
remain in the vessel and uscd as needed
Twenty or thirty scions eau he wsXed with
one heating mp. When much grating is tC
he done, little fire or heating the NAN
should be made ON the spot, bctwseu TAG
bricks or stones.
We have seen various preparations foI
making grating wax and we believe VI
have tried them all, but prefer oul
own. Applying it warm or hot does no in
jury to the graft. The object to attain in
the proportion is that the wax will moi
crack in cool, dry weather, or run in warn
weather. II, however, upon trial, diiler
cnt proportions be required, the foregoing
can be altered, though after using them il
several ways We have come back to these

MELON CULTURE.-The best soil is that
which admits of ready drainage, Watery
as the fruit is, it does not require much
rain TO produce it. ln fact, the vines fou-
rish and bear even on bank of sand. Se-
lect the highest piece of ground available
gray and sandy-and put it in good order,
using plenty of well-rotted manure to each
hill. Digging holes of sufficient size and
depositiug the manure in them during the
winter is doubtless the method to be pre-
ierred but if this has not already been
done we must resort to some other plan.
Make an excavation and manure liberally,
with view of retaining moisture in the
time of drought Much depends on giving
the plants a vigorous start Force their
early growth with a free application OF
bone phosphate to the hill. Keep the
ground clear of grass and well stirred until
the vines begip to cover it 4; but as soon MS
the roots run to the full length of the vines,
and grow as fast, the work should not be
more than Two or three Inches deep,

y SAD CAsE.-Our city has not known
for many years saGder case of desertion,
destitutiUn and suffering than that of Mrs.
Raymond, who died at a home furnished
her hy the charity Of "A number Of ladies.
III the upper part OF the city, last evening.
In the winter she accompanied her husband
from BroOme county, n. Y, to the forests
Of Clinton county, where lie deserted her,
leaving nothing for her support. She
made her way to this city, where four
weeks ago she gave birth to a child. Her
condition became known in good season
to several ladies, and she was properly
cared for. \ home with all necessary
comforts was furnished, and with the help
of a young female cousin who stood faith
fully by her, she SO far recovered from her
confinement tina. last week she undertook
a large washing. Puerperal peritonitis fol-
lowed and she sank rapidly, weighed down
with Il load OF discouragement and sadness
such as few women have to bear. Another
cause contributed without doubt to the
! final result. From the moment Of her
coming to this city the tongue of calumny
/ was busy, aud the ladies who helped her
were unteelingly sneered at by others who
cast doubts upon her integrity, and the sto-
/ ry Of her marriage. These susplciOns fell
! with crushing weight upon the poor wo-
man, and furnished the last bitter drop 20
/ the cup of her sorrow. She died hopeless,
| bruken-hearted, but not fricndless, for those
who stood around her bedside during all
her suileIings saw in her the germ of a true
! Christian character, that under better cir
circumstances might have done honor aud
noble service to society. May heT sad fate
serve rs n warning to those who have
judged her SO harshly, perhaps in thought
lcssness. or ut least teach them to look into
their hearts and see that no sin is there, be-
| fore they again cast the cruel stone of slau-
der at an unfortunate sister. HdreO
