LpiToRs COURIER Having already
opened your columns to members Of
our City Council for the purpose Of
circulating what purports to be . true
statement of our resources, and believ-
ing the said statement to be quite inju.
rious, uniustidable and calculated to
lead some of our citizens and others

to inform themselves of their erron cons
aat -fsfsc statcmsHlS,1 nads only In The
interest Of those Councilmen, who are
trying to justify themselves before
their constituents, where they have
been SO severely rebuked as in the
Second aud Fourth Wards, where
large and almost unanimous petitions
have been received praying that the
city would continue to light the streets
as In the past. Now, - to these petit
tions, they are not from the rabble, but
from our mort influential, prominent
and best informed citizsus and tax
payers, who, I believe, know just what
they want and how they want ii, with
out being informed of the fact by coun.
cilmen who do not believe In the right

Indebtedness to the votes Of the PEG.
pie, but for the purpose Of carrying
their ends, get up statements like that
appearing in your paper August End.
Now, with regard to that statement,
the authors do not say for what year
they are computing or calculating the
taxes. If for the year 1873, no levy
has as yet been made, and they are
working In the dark. If for 1872,
which Is the tax we are using, aud
from which the current expenses must
be paid. they are certainly far from the
mark. In the first place we did not
levy lax mills as they say. Secondly,
instead of our resources being little
over 900, they are over $24,OOO;
at least so says the Mayors report,
with none, or very little Indebtedness
against as, but on the contrary, some
judgments in our favor. But as the
gentlemen have figured It up we viii
only have little over four hundred
dollars for permanent improvements.
That will not do much; scarcely build
q gutter across ono block. But If
their statements were true, there 10
only one eensiatant man Of the four !;
that is Patrick Brady, who, on the
ground ofeoouomy, votes against the
gas a. we'll as the lot fraud. Now, a.
remarked in your paper . few days
ago, the other members Of that won-
derfnl statement are saving At the
spigot and pouring 1t the bung, or, in
other words, are saving few hundred

The question has often been asked by
those interested, ''Can have my gray hair
restored to its natural color, without color
ing the skina and can my thin locks be
thickened upi" We answer, at can; and
would advise yon to to read treatise on the

cation. They are the proprietors Of Halls

from II, the hair, in ferfect state Of health,
is constantly falling out, and new hairs grow
from the Same Tubes, but in case Of any
disease Of thescalp, or By the use Of alcoho-
lie preparations, the hair-tube becomes con-

10 GRAPE GROWERS


There is habit which prevails
among many in this vicinity, who are
SO fortunate as to possess few grape
vines, which is simply a bad case of
malpractice, and needs to be checked.
refer to the practice of cutting off the
leaves and eads of the vines, thereby
exposing the fruit to the direct rays
of the hot sun. This is no doubt done
under the impression that the fruit
will ripen better In the sun than If
shaded; fatal mistake, however, as
some will learn to their sorrow. In
view of the Importance of this subject
and the amount Of attention given to
grape raising, propose to offer few
hints in hopes that they may be Of
some benefit to those who may choose
to give them heed. In the first place,
grapes, like all other kinds of fruit,
ripen and thrive best in the shade. but
the leaves need a broad and free ex-
posure to the sun aud circulating at
mosphere. The leaves Of the vine act
as lungs through which the plant
breathes, and through which the moist
ure of the earth is evaporated, said
moisture furnishing nutriment and
growing properties. to the plant.
Hence, If we remove the leaves we
check the vital force ofthe plant, there-
by stunting and permanently injuring
the vine. Again, the fruit thus ex.
posed will blister or sun scald, and 10
a great extent become worthless. Last
year had an acre of Clintons, the
leaves OF which was attacked. By In.
sects 80 that they. nearly all dropped
Of, leaving the vines looking % though
they had passed through . hard frost,
while the fruit refused to ripsn and
was hardly worth gathering.
About pruning long chapter might
be written, but space forbids. There
are two kinds of pruning, however,
which are called SUMMER ana winter
pruning. Thelobject of summer prun.
ing Is to thin out both fruit and vine
where they are, as Is usual, too thick.
This should be done in June when the
new growth at vine 10 but few inches
long and the fruit Is yet In blossom,
but never cut of q growing vine unless
at least four feet long. A healthy vine
will usually set twice a. much fruit a.
thought to bear, and as much a. we
dislike to to do it, the weakest branches
should be broken off by hand, distrib-
uting tho others a. evenly as possible.
After this no more pruning is needed
unless the vines become so long as to
be in the way, when tho ends may be
cut off late in the season. Winter
pruning Is best done in the warm days
in February, and consists in removing
g large portion of the past seasons
growth, leaving but two or three joints
Of each cane or removing some Alto
gether that may be too much crowded.
Respectfully, O. MorrET.

We are informed by Mr.. Garner and
other merchants who have visited New
Work this summer that goods generally
are cheaper than st any time since
1861.
This together with our immense
prospective and secured crop ought to
insure . satisfactory degree Of pros
psrity for all classes Of our people dur
ing the ensuing year.
H. P. Graves, Esq, Of this city. has
recently returned from visit to his
relatives away down East In New
England. He was nalrating to US to-
day, how he saw corn raised there
A farmer has about an acre and half
of corn. He first ploughed and har-
rowsd the ground carefully and then
manured each hill. After the corn
had got up about four inches his boys
went through the. field with basket
Of Plaster Paris, and they put upon
each hill about spoonful. The father
followed the boys and deposited on
each hill small handful of we'll
powdered hen manure that he had
carefully gathered In his hon roost.--
Each hill was hoed with as much or
more care than people In this country
tend their gardens. What do Iowa
tarlnsrs think Of this method Of rails
