PoTAsH FOR PEACH TREEs.-A practical fruit
grower recently informed us that on The place he
formerly occupied, having stiff clay SOIL near
Philadelphia, were dozen or moro peach trees,
apparently six seven years DID, badly affected
with the yelows aud rapidly going 10 decay.
They finally died. There was one EXCEPTIONS
tree the house, but on the same kind Of soil,
which was vigorous and thrifty. This bore fruit
of fine quality, and finally attained the size Of q
good apple tree. The owner attributed its con-
cition to a lot of brush and decsyed wood which
bad been burned on the spot before IL was plan
ted The potash in this case, as In many others,
had proved special fertilizer, inducing healthy
and vigorous growth. A gentleman near by,
when this was being told US, remarked that
neighbor Of his in peach-growing district, had
exceeded all the orchards around him In vigor
and productiveness, by the habit which he had
pursued for several years, of applying ashes
around each tree every season. The effect was
very marked in vigor Of growth and quantity
and quality OF fruit.
We have heard OF :he same beneficial results
from the application Of ashes to apple and pear
trees, but especially the latter. We think 10

Remarkable Discovery.

Two small children OF Mr.. John Is. Hicks
were PLAYING on the banks Of S,aunton riv-
er on the franklin side, on Wednesday of
last week, when one OF them in running
about, with "a cry suddenly disappeared
from view Her brother rushed to her as
sistance and found her standing at a depth
Of or 9 fee, from The surface Of The earth.
The girl had broken 4 crust of earth. aud
had fallen into a sort Of chamber or cave.
Her brother went off to procure a stick in
order Ia assist her ou', ADD in the mean
while she proceeded TO look around the
strange abode into which che had so un-
ceremoniously descended. She found her
self in chamber SOME Is feet in length
by IL feet in breadth and 6 feet 10 height.
What was her surprise to find, by the aid
of the light shining from the opening made
by her descent, what appeared to her the
form OF a man stretched along one side Of
the cave. In great alarm she FASTENED
with the assistance of her brother, to scram-
bic out of the hole, and the two children
ran to Mr.. Hicks who was iu a field near
by, and told him what bad happened. He
went at once to the spot with n neigbbor
who happened to be present, and proceeded
to explore the cave. Their surprise may
be better imagined than described. finding
lying on raised surface at one side of the
cave, the naked body of an Irdian. He
was full six feet high, and was lying on his
back with his arms crossed on his bosom,
remains Of coronet Of feathers still encir-
cling his head, and his face hideously paint
ed BY bis side lay bow and arrows, Sc
veral pieces of pottery, and several enrs Of
corn. The body was apparently in a per-
feet state of preservation, the dark red skin
not ataIl shrivelled, and the features though
pinched, as is generally the case in death
still not marred. After gazing at the dead
warrior for a few moments, Mr.. Hicks com
panion stopped down and took hold of the
body, when to his surprise it crumbed to
dust.
The vases and bow and arrows were found
to De sound, aud were taken away by Mr.,
Hicks, in whose possession they still are
The pottery was very similar TO that found
by Captain Minter near the same river last
year; the discovery OF which was noticed
IN the NelCs, and which was on exhibition
for somo time at the Liberty Savings Bank
in this place. The two gentlemen then
examined the cave and found it to be ap.
pareutly artificial, perfectly dry, with the
upper side crusted or powdered with some
white substance thought to be lime. On
the side next to the river a large square
stone was seen which blocked up what was
evidently the original entrance to the vault
Thus by strange chance were exposed to
view, the mortal remains of al Indian war
rior who from the manner in which be was
inferred, was evidently a chieftain OF pow
err AID renown, perchance a contemporary
and equal of the great Powhatau.
These facts are well authenticated and
the arrows and pottery can be seen at the
residence of Mr.. Hicks Liberty Cla. )

the whole hog may be eaten by the followers of

per time for pruning, cover nearly, or Quite ell
the year, aud from this II would seem that the
old Scotch gardeners advice to his SON to pruns
whenever his knife was sharp was after all not
far wrong. The truth Is, that IL pruning has
been properly attended to 10 past seasons, there
will be so little left to do that II may be done at
any time when its need may happen to be no.
ticed.
As rule, we think our best horticulturists do
not prune as heavily rs they did Ave or even ten
years ago. and now only remove limbs which
interfere with each other or deform the tree al
lowing nature 20 hate much more 20 do thar
was formerly the case. It is very often the case,
that the future beauty of tree Is spoiled BY the
trimming which il often receives at the nursery
before 1t is sent to the customer, and oftener by
the one which il so often gets on its arrival id
the future orchard.
No limb or twig should be removed without
some good aud definite reason, and we would as
soon let a cord wood chopper into our orchard
as professional tree trimmer.-5.
