TIME FOR PRUNISG.-In 1896
had young orchard that 1 began
to prune in FEBRUARY, and contin-
ued at intervals till August; and
those pruned in June did better and
healed over sooner than any pIuned
either before or after that period.
In 1871 l began TO renovatc an Or
chard ten years old, that had been
trained according to the sburdf fash
ion of low heads which prevailed at
that time. II took q great deal of cut
ting and trimming; but was deter
mined and persevered. The result
was that every wound made in
June-the time the work was done
-began at once to heal over, and
by the time the growth stopped In
the fall every place where q branch
had been cutoff had beautiful ring
of new bark and wood of from one
third to one-half inch width all
around 1t, and still they are doing
well.-Cor. Gardeners Monthly.

DelinQuent TaxpaYers.

Taxpayers OF the city Of New Orleans
who have not yet settled their accounts
with the Administrator of Finance will
find their;names and the amounts they owe
published in the REPUBLICAN of Tuesday
morning. They are. at the same time, in
formed by the acting Administrator Of Fl
nance that after the expiration Of thirty
days from the date of publication suit will
be instituted against each and every one Of
them in the Superior District Court for the
parish OF Orleans. and the publication of
the delinquent list and his monitIon will
constitute citation.
In the REPUBLICAN Of Tuesday morning
the twelfth. will appear the list of tax
payers delinquent to the State. Non-pay-
ment in their cases will prove. if possible, a
more serious matter; for, under the pro-
visions of Act No. A, of 1873. thirty days
after publication. in case of non-payment,
the delnquen: loses his right to appear in
any court of equity in the city, parish or
State, either as suitOr or as witness in his
own behalf. He has no longer standing
in court, and the law ceases to protect him
OF afford him redress. This is certainly an
unpleasant predicament the tax-resster has
placed himself in, but it is the resul: Of his
own w;llful stupidity and folly.

State Securities.

The determination of Governor Kellogg
to have an honest, economical and fair ad-
ministration Of State affairs is already be-
the politeness of H. Conquest Clarke.
ESQ, the very efficient private secretary of
Governor Kellogg, we were permitted to
read letter addressed to the Governor by
Augustus Belknap, prominent London
banker. which must be regarded as
favorable to such of our State securi-
ties as are held to be legal. The letter
is dated July 10, 1873. 1t expresses the
wish of Mr.. Belknap to become interested
as holder of Louisiana State bonds. but
az tha: gentleman had been advised that
there are certain issues that are called in
question by part of our people, he de.
sires the Governor to inform HIM (which
particular issues are recognized and in
every way valid and regular by al!
parties" We take it that Mr.. Belknap
want, to know which of our State bonds
are held valid by proper authority, and for
that purpose has written to the Governor
of the State, who will doubtless furnish
him with the desired information. The fact
that prominent London banker desires to
become interested in the valid bonds Of our
State, and has written to Governor Kellogg
for information upon the subject, must be
taken as good evidence that our State
credit is locking up abroad as it ought to
be at homo. With a proper outstanding of
the States resources, and strict honesty to-
ward bona tide creditors, our State secu1i-
ties would soon be in demand.

Death Of Martin Flood.

A private note to General jeff Thomp-
son, from George w. Rollins, brings US the
information that General Martin Flood, for
merly president of the Board of Public
Works, died on the twenty of July
at Keokuk, Iowa. 1t transpires that Mr..
Flood met with an accident about the first
of June, by wine cask falling on his leg
and mashins hi. ankle, from the effects of
which he never recovered. His sufferings
are said to have been intense.
Mr.. Flood belonged to a class of politi-
clans who were better known here in 1869
than they arc at the present day. He occu-
pied at one time a very important position,
which led many to suppose that he made
great deal of money, but we suspect that
thOss by whom he was then surrounded
helped themselves to a great extent on his
credit. He was genial, companionable
man. and very popular with the small circle
who formed his acquaintances.
