Butler cXerted himself TO the utmost, in his
recently assumed capacity of leader of the

but he suffered an inglorious defeat, hay

his bill a. Instructions, while ls} votes
were given against it. During the final
vote. zen. Butler was - prominent and
otliriouS in his attempt to secure some
favorable action upon the bill, that he
seemed DESTROYS to assist the tally clerk in
his count. and did not desist until with
others he was called to order, by the speak
or. ut the instance of Mr.. Cox, Who sug-
gestcd that there were too many members
about the tally clerk The Speaker ruled
that Mr. CoN's point was quite in order,

Terrible Accident.


BCCkSPOIt1. March 10.
Foster L. -Ames. 4 lad of 16 years. son of
Capt. Rufus Ames Of Orland. was found in the
woods, last Saturday night, terribly shot by
the accidental discharge of his gun, and dead.
He went out soon after dinner. and it is sup
posed that the accident happened soon after
one O'clock. as the report of a gun was heard
about that time i'll the direction in which the
body was found. There are two theories in re-
gard to the cause of the accident One is that
he rested his gun on a log and in is sliding Oft
caught the hammer in its fall Another is that
in s.ooping down over the log where he was
found. the hammer was caught by Il branch of
the tree near by. The charge entered the head
lust back of the ear. carrying away about one
third Of the skull. His clothing also took fire
burning his body on one side down to his hip.
A box of caps in his pocket also his powder
horn We're exploded.
He was 4 very promising boy, and the Young
est of quite a large family who are greatly dis
tresSed at this terrible calamity.
We are cutting more ice here this season than
ever before. 1t now measures % to - inches
thick. of fine quality.
One hundred and sixty passengers Went on
board the katahdin at this landing on Tuesday.
They are mostly sea tarng men. going away to

many of the opposite kind before he

what state the work may be in, at pre-
cisely the instant-who calculate the
extra amount they can slight their
work, and yet not get reproved-who
are lavish of their employers goods
will always be the first to receive no
tice, when times are dull, that their
services are no longer required.

Orchard Management.

To realize the best results from an
orchard, we should be careful in the Sc
lection of varieties; and aHwell-draiued
location should be chosen on which to
plant the trees. The distance between
the rows should not be so small as to
preclude the trees from obtaining their
full bearing capacity, and to make it
difficult to gather the fruit. Neither
should there be too much space. Twen-
ty-four feet each way has been our
practice of setting trees, and we find it
a suitable distance. If the lund is low
and fiat, the land between the row s
should be plowed toward the tree, so
as to have the dead furrow in the cen=
ter, to allow the water to pass offfreely.
All the sprouts should be kept from the
base of the trees, but we have not found
it advisable to prune out the heads, as
it lessons the capaci ) fl frIitfulness
and induces the grOa tn OF water
sprouts.
All of the fallen fruit should be gath
cred and made into vinegar, as the
profits of the orchard are considerably
increased from-this source. All fruit
should be carefully hand-picked, and
that intended for market should be as
sorted and put in clean packages. The
commission men of Chicago assure US
that apples in new barrels bring enough
more to pay for the barrels, even if old
ones could be had free of cost. Varie-
ties that drop from trees, such as Rome
Beauty, Standard and Domino, should
be picked early. Winter fruit should
be kept in cool place, at temperature
of As degrees, as near as possible.
The demand for winter apples has
not yet been supplied, and if we wish
TO obtain the best results and find a
reauy marketfor our apples, we should
plant at least three-fourths of our Or
chardS in winter varieties.
The orchard should be sheltered on
the west and north by belts of rapid
growing trees. We advise the plant
ing of white ash, American elm, syca-
more and ashleaf maple. Varieties OF
the willow are rapid growers, but the
timber is Of little value.
