Ep!Ton APrEA,: The article in Thurs
days Appeal signed "sinGod jake"
(vho is evidently a member Of the War
rcnsJ would not call for 4 reply if it dill
not reject unjusNy upon tie committee
appointed TO sell the Warren engine.
That committee was appointed, only one
meeting previous TO the last when the
resolution to rescind was passed. The
duty they were called on 20 perform was
q very difficult one as hand engines are
now q drug in the market, there being
several for sale in Virginia and Gold
HILL; still they had entered into CORES
pondeace with parties in the eastern
part Of the State and had offered the
engine for sale at stated sum as they
considered thcmselye authorized to do.
TO the complete surprise Of the commit
tee, at the last regular meeting Of the
Warren Engine Company, the resolution
to sell was rescinded upon the ground
that the committee were making no
effort to sell and had made no report.
Jake accusation, that the committee
in charge Of the new steamer were OPP
posed to the Warrens getting possession
of it, and were endeavCring to organize
new company to run II, is entirely
without foundation. None Of that COM
mittee were untavorahly disposed to the
WarIens, and one member Of it, on ac-
count of his long association with The
"Old Warren" was very DESTROYS that
that company should run the Little
Giant. As to Jakie's - arsumen:
against the organization Of Fire De
partment, | would simply state, that in
nearly every town in the country where
there are two or more fire companies in
service, such an organization is consid-
cred indispensable. Old firemen believe
that more effective service can be done
at fire, when capable officer has en-
tire charge, than when each company is
working on its own hook. l hope soon
to see the Little Giant properly housed,
with well organized company, and be- |
lieving that she will. on the first occa-
sion when her services are required, ex-
coed the expectations Of those who have
SO literally subscribed for her purchase; |
and think it will be safe to predict from !
the character of the men who are inter- |
esting themselves in the organization of |
a company to run her, that they will not
follow the example Of the Warrens and
pass a resolution not to run outside the |
,ity limits when their neighbors' prop
arty is in danger. An OLD fireman.

A Little Fellow Who Was There.

A little brother is sometimes more agreea-
bic when he becomes an angel over yonder.
Parker knows little brother whom he would
gladly wait at once over to the thither shore,
if society had not such an absurd prejudice
against premeditated murder. Young Par
ker loved Miss Clamm, the sister of the said
babe, and few evenings ago he called upon
the lady for the purpose OF proposing to her.
They sat upon the sofa in the parlor alone,
As the evening wore on Parker plucked up
courage, nudged up to Miss Clamm's side Of
the sofa, and began some preliminary remarks
about his "eternal happiness" his ''heart's
longings," his "souPs idol, his cloves young
DREAM" &C., &c. Just as he had taken
Miss Clamm's little hand in his, and was
about to explain himself terrific sneeze
was heard from beneath the sofa. Parker
and Clamm both sprang to their feet.
Parker dragged the sofa away from the wall,
and there lay young Clamm, snickering and
chuckling as if he had rich things stored
away in his memory. And when Miss Clamm
flew at him and boxed his ears, he remained
silent; but, escaping, he ran to the door, and
standing there with his hand on the knob, he
exclaimed, "Never you mind! I'm a-going
| right up stairs to tell ma that you and old
Parker have been a-sittin' down yer, kissin'
| each other and squeezin' one another's
hands, and huggin' like mad; a carryin' on

How Parent Plays Indian and gets the
Worst Of It,

A New Yorker is very much annoyed be
cause his two boys have read so many Indian
stories that they have gone wild with anxiety
to play Indian, to go out on the prairies
hunting for the real noble red men. The
man was taking nap after dinner in his easy
chair, when he was awakene by an alarming
noise and strange sensation in his head.
He jumped up suddenly and found that one
of his boys, dressed in a red table-cloth, and
his face decorated with blue paint, was trying
to scalp his father with carving knife, while
the other boy, attired in blanket shawl and
rooster feather, hourished hatchet and
emitted war-whoops from behind thicket
composed of two chairs and a card table.
Inc man decided to put stop to this kind OF
So next day while the bows were playing
win BOWS and arrows in the garden he dress
ed himself In an Indian costume, and jump
ed over the fence With a wild, unearthly veil,
for the purpose OF frightening those children
The oldest boy. however, stood his ground,
and drawing an arrow to the head, in which
was inserted a tenpenny nail, he buried it in
the chieftain's leg before he took to flight.
That night the father walked up stairs on a
crutch and fogged the family al around be-
fore he sent them to bed. He is thinking now
of some other way to effect cure of the san
culinary disposition of his offspring.

Winter Pruning Of Fruit Trees.

In theory, theorists may differ very widely
In their ideas touching the winter pruning OF
fruit trees and shrubs; but practical men
usually begin this work as soon as convenient
after the holidays. There is no use of borrow
ing trouble about the frost injuring the ex-
posed wood where branch has been cut of,
because, if you have any fears on this score
just cover the wounds with little gum shell
lac, dissolved in alcohol, or with common
paint; grating wax will also answer the pur-
pose as WELL
But never prune plant just for the sake of
pruning, or because somebody has said that
trees require pruning annually. The size
and form OF trees may be controlled at will
by pruning, and fruitfulness may be fastened
or retarded by the same process. Vigorous
growing trees should be preserved with care
and judgment, tn operator remembering that
the more wood that is cut away the more
rapid will be the growth the following season;
and if tree is already making too much
wood, no more should be allowed than is
actually necessary to bring that which re-
mains into proper shape.
This principle as our guide,l we prune
stunted trees severely; or even sickly br nch-
es, on an otherwise healthy tree, may often
be restored to health by the use Of the prun-
ing knife alone. II the trees are large and
branches so numerous as not to permit the
light to reach the centre of the tree, cut out
portion, and gave all parts an equal chance
fer development and health. In all large,
old trees there must naturally occur many
exhausted branches; and in cutting these
away we give the others an opportunity to
grow; and if few fruit spurs are destroyed,
those remaining will be trengthened, and
the fruit produced larger and of better quail
ity. Most fuit cultivators viii own to a
weakness in leaving too much bearing wood
upon their trees, and poor, small fruit is the
result. --.s. .e f.ni
No better tine can be selected for pruning
understandingly than in winter, for at this
season one can readily determine the char
acter of each bud, spur or branch, and short
en-, remove entire, or allow any portion to re-
main intact, as the condition may indicate.
Apple, pear and plum trees may be pruned
far more freely than the cherry; for this last
named tree is rather impatient under the
knife, although it may often be pruned TO
advantage. We all take far too much delight
in showing our fruit trees loaded down with q
greater burden than they can in safety carry
through to maturity; hence the necessity OF
severe pruning to restore vigor to exhausted
specimens. 81. .r.--...-..
