When to Cut CiOns.

1t is usually understood that cions
may be cut after cold weather sets in
at any time up to spring; but there is
certainly some philosophy in the fol-
lowing letter to the Prdrie Farmer:
For many years have practiced cut
ting off cions for grating in the spring
of the year and inserting them the
same day, and thought it was the safest
method to insure success in grating
Uusually about three-fourths OF the
scions amputated and inserted in the
spring lived and thrived well. But
find the old adsge that we are "never
too old to learn" is true. Last fall
received a request from Mr.. P. M. Gid
con, a hOrticulturist in Minnesota, to
send him few scions of the best apples
originated in Maine, and to cut them
off as soon as the trees had shed their
ieaves-which request complied with,
at the same time informing him that
thought the spring was the best season
of the year for cutting gratis to insure
success. In few days / received in
return & package of cions of the
Wealthy apple, favorite in that Sec
tion. These ciOns were covered with
damp sand in my cellar during the
winter and grated on to native trees
in May. Of fOrty-twO cions inserted,
lived and are growing
finely-and ] now think the season
named by Mr.. G. the best for cutting
ciOns. Probably many gratis amputa.
ted in the spring are winter-kilIed or
their vitality injured by extreme cold
the previous winter, and are nearly
dead when inserted. When inserting
CRAFTS l usually examine the pith, and
Ii found of brown color they are re-
ected as dead, but if the pith is of a
light color, they were not injured by
frost the previous winter.

are in the Pittsburgh seam, which here
dipping toward the basin gets below
the bed of the Ohio river.
At Pomeroy it rises above the river,
and drifting is practiced in getting the
coal. AT none of these points, howev-
er, is the Pittsburgh coal SO admirable
the MonOngahela river, but il is every
where superior coal. The Goals OF
the Massillon Region are identical with
the Mahoning Valley seam, being the
lower bed of the coal rocks of the State;
but it deteriorstes somewhat in quail
ty, although still splendid coal. 1t is
not so well adapted for furnace use in a
raw state, and is shorter in the grain,
which CAUSES it to break up in hand
ling and shipping. In jackson county,
the coal is nearly equal to that of
Youngstown, as furnace and shipping
coal.
There are upward of 800 coal mines
in the State whose aggregate annual
production is over 5000, 600 tons, tho
it will fall far short of that amount
this year, every mine suffering from
the panic. Only two-thirds of the mi
ners are working at all at present, and
they do not average three days a week
There are about $4,000 men and boys
employed in the mines, and about 1900
above ground.
The output of the various localities
may be stated as follows:
Mahoning Valley 1000, 900
Hooking Valley 1,OOO,OOO

POETRY.
Written for the Chronicle.l
THUNDER STORM.
By RAs w1NcHKIL.

Oncewhen the sky was dark with cloud
And the moon from man was lost,
The twinkling stars had sought their
shrouds,
Andthe Heavens above were tossed
Back in the distant horizon
Hang clouds of nightly scope,
And now between earth and sun,
Rolled on their downward slope.
In that ethereal mountain range,
A rumbling noise was heard;
Twas like host of friends in chains,
Obeying their captive's word.
The clamor rode the winds in speed,
And filed our hearts with woe;
The vapor, like warriors steed,
As rapidly did go.
The western sky, like Afric's sons,
Was Hack and fearful too;
Peal on peal like deadly guns,
In space they hurried through.
One-half the sky was robed in black,
The other in brilliant blue;
But soon the wind made an attack,
And drove the mist on through.
In darkness now the storm began
The Indian sign proved true;
The wind led forth the cloudy van,
And the lightning pierced it through
All silent now beneath the roof,
The rain in toIents came;
And through the window pane aloof,
Did see brilliant flame.
All that night the storm did roar,
I'm fp7ssapS all ar0upd
Atearly dawn it was no more - 49,
Buta neighbor's house was gone!
To him We lent a helping hand 49,
And babe him grieve no more;
And wslk ed upon the silver sand,
That covered the wide plain DER.
Jnstiup the hill we saw great ruts,
Like q railroad cut fresh made;
And on our right and thereabout
The timber low was laid.
And down along the winding brook
The water fercely ran j.
And here we foundin every nook,
The handy works of man = =
The storm now ceased and the sky wa
clear,
The earth, in his orb, moved on;
The suns warm rays come up in tht
rear,
And nourished the grass in the lawn
All nature around was changed to view
And we disappointed in vain
Soon Autum closed with heavy dew
And the prayer of man, was vain.

life to restore natural and healthy action to the
pary vessels of the body, and equalze the circula
ton Of the blood. By this means controlling power
is gained over the most malignant forms OF disease
which cannot be obtained from any other remedy
Such Is the Po wer Of this combination, !,
that it penetrates to every portion Of the human
ment is searched out and made sensible of its purify
ing and healing influence. Hence it copes readily
with internal as external disease.
Numerous instances are on record where
this remedy has restored health 30 patients near
the grave that the most powerful internal remedies
failed to produce any effect Such has frequently bean
the case in Enfamma ton Of the Bowels.
No patient ever need die with this disease
where the Magnetic Ointment can be obtained.
For Infla mmafory Rheun atism this
Ointment is the most complete remedy ever prepared.
For Diphthera Purid Sore Throat II is unrivaed-
it will afford entire relief the worst Of Nervous

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Oct. Is, 1874
Some weeks since one George w. smith was kid
mapped from Massac county, Illinois, and taken to
Tennessee where, 1T is alleged, he IL under indict
ment Tor murder. The attention OF Governor
Beveridge was called to the matter, and he de-
manded from Governor Brown, OF Tennessee, the
return oil smith ana the delivery to the Illinois
authorities OF the Kidnappers, b. X. Ward and M.
l.. iams Governor Brown has at last replied
to the demand He reviews the facts In the case;
admits that the action OF the Tennessee officials
was without the warrant OF law, but hopes tnat,
inasmuch as smith Is
VIGOROUSLY GUILTY OF MURDER
ana that as there was no intentional disrepect
shown 10 the authorities OF this state Governor
Beverldge may find IL compatible with HIS sense
o; duty TO let the matter rest as II now stands
This Governor Beverage Is not willing TO do; but,
on the contrary, renews his demand for the return
OF Smith and for the arrest and delivery TO the
state authorities OF the ki0nappers. he says that
the quit or innocence OF the accused Is not in
question; that the laws or Illinois provide Tor the
detention Tor reasonable time OF any person
against whom there IS evidence Of liability for
crime In another state, and that the ahductors had
no authority or legal pretence for their act.
1t Is SAID that the murder with which the prt-
soner Smith Is charged is the killing OF man
who attempted to prevent his desertion IRON the
Confederate army.
