OUR REVISED FRUIT-LIST.

Since the last publication of our fruit
list, we have for satisfactory reasons
changed our opinion with respect to a
few of the fruits which it contained
Bnt in regard to the list as whole we
can see no just grounds for disturbing
it. Indeed we do not see how it can
be improved for this section of country,
or as a general list for all the middle
states. Some of each of the separate
selections may not do well upon one
premises that will succeed admirably
on another Each one must find out
for himself the particular apples and
pears especially adapted to his soil and
location.
According to our present preference,
we should select the following for our
own planting:

go wrong by adopting it.

CARE OF SHEEP-A fock-master of

TELEGRAPH gives these hints on the
management of sheep in Winter:
al send you the following seasonable
hints in regard to the care of Sheep
During the Winter and early Spring
sheep are often affected with colds !:
these, if neglected, frequently become
so deeply seated as to be incurable, and
end in phthisic or consumption. The
best remedy for a cold is, first, place
your sheep in well-ventilated, dry sta
BILE, comfortably Uttered; and second,
give it any slightly purging medicine,
with moderate allowance of hay, and
a bran mash, one-ffth of which should
be oil-meal Colds and catarrhs are
not only epidemic, but endemic; be
careful, therefore, where you Winter
your sheep, that there be no predispos-
ing cause in their locality; and when
they are attacked, remove them instant
ly from the flock. BY following these
precautions, and keeping them vel! fed,
sheltered, aired, watered, and sailed,
one may bid defiance to disease among
his Hock.n

The liberal leaders feel quite jubilant tonight,
as they ave assurances from the democratic
leaders assembled here that Church Will be NOM
mated at Syracuse next week, and they can in
dorse him. 1t is said also that the democratic
platform will be liberal enough to suit the most
outspoken liberals. Even going so far probably, as
TO the use of the words liberal democrats on the
caption OF the democratic ticket next fall The
democratic leaders here from the central SOUTH
ern and western parts OF the State assert that
Judge Church's quasi consent to accept the demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, If rendered him,
will certainly lorce Tilden and his supporters to
cease their efforts to secure T1lden's nomination.

General Cochrane, meets the hearty approval or

determined to nominate Church to-day, which
would, 1t is said, have obliged the democrats to
throw him overheard and go for Iilden, as they
could not follow the liberals During the recess

JOSEPH vANDREssA'S DEATH.

In an editorial article yesterday on the discharge
of Charles F. Barnard who had been charged be-
fore the COroner's inquest and the Grand Jury
with causing the death OF the little Italian boy,
by q cruel whipping for an involuntary offence at
the Five Points House Of Industry, the Epening
Post. says
Barnard was not o flt person for the position
which he occupied man with more experience
would have inquired more thoroughly into the
facts, ana would not have punished the boy un Til
he had satisfied himself that there was no justi-
fcation for the act committed by him. In an
sttution like the Five Points House OF Industry
there ought not to be any doubt concerning the
health OF any OF the inmates, or their fitness 10
undergo punishment least OF all IN case where
lie or death Is involved. II Is satisfactory TO
know that the history OF the Institution con-
tains very few, If any, instances oil similar
neglect and tt is only air 10 assume that the
punishment OF Vandressa must be ascribed solely
TO an error OF judgments on the part OF q man who
was only temporarily appointed TO q position OF
trust. 1t Is most unfortunate that the noble his
tory Of this charity should be stained by the iaint
est bot but 1t would be maniiesty unjust to argue
that the usefulness of the institution can be im
paired by a single error. Good very often comes
out OF evil, and the death OF little vandressa will,
we believe incte the managers to still greater
watchlulness and care. IL was uulucky that
Charles +. Barnard should have been selected TO
III the temporary vacancy caused by the absence
OF MIR. smith.
