he attempted 70 carry It out, notwith-
standing the remonstrances Of his friends.
A small balloon was purchased and inn
mediately after noon yesterday taken to
the fair ground and the work Of initiating
commenced. After all being in readiness
his recklessness was further shown in
his attempting the ascension without
basket or bar, but shortly before four
o'clock he tied the guy ropes and the net
twines together, seated himself on the
same, and shouted, Let her went" As
before stated the balloon was entirely
too small for Pearce's weight, and the
consequence was that he rose to height
of about sixty feet, and commenced
dangling around the buildings in the
neighborhood, chimneys and tree tops. At
this point the excitement became in
tense among the large crowd gathered
together to witness the ascension; men
shouted, women screamed and tainted,
and children ran in all directions. Sew
eral chimneys were knocked down by the
now confused aeronaut, who still
clutched the ropes, the bricks of
which, falling on several of the multitude,
injured some severely and, it is sup.
posed, others fatally. After dangling
around for some time he completely
lost all control of both himself and the
balloon, and leaving his hold he fell
headforemost to the earth. Several OF

ago we treated an old hollow pippin ap.

borne nothing of any account for some

followed. For seventeen years after the
filling that old pippin tree continued to
flourish and bear well.
Let Us call attention to still another
point of importance in fruit-raising. This
is the bearing year for apples and fruit
in general in New England; probably it
is also in some other parts. Now when
such years come the farmers rejoice too
much at their prosperity and abuse it, as
nearly all people do the gifts of fortune.

be reduced to but little more than half a

will more than balance the loss. Next

latitude, let the tree-trimmer stimulate
and nourish his trees or vines with fair
supply of ashes, and in nearly every case
he will have good crop of fruit in the

A Brave Boy.

LET the papers of the day pass around
the name Of Lewis Smodell, the boy-hero
of thirteen years of age. One week ago
the Times published an account of the
lads rescue of his sisters from drowning
at the hazard of his life. To-day it is ours
to chronicle a still greater feat performed
by this young champion of brave and
noble deeds. On Saturday two of the
boys little sisters, aged four and six
years, rolled down the bank into the
river, in about five feet of water, and but
few rods above the verge of the
dreaded Saltwater Rapids The hero of
a few days ago was engaged at the OPP
perfume moment in a shop which projects
out over the swift-rushing waters, and,
fancying that he heard peculiar noise
emanating from that quarter, he stepped
to the door and saw his two little sisters
strangling and struggling and being
hurled mercilessly toward their doom.
Lewis quickly saw that if the children
were to be saved his arm must do it, He
was standing on platform twenty feet
above the surface of the water; but he
took the leap, went under, and soon ap-
peared directly between the children.
Then commenced struggle for life His
cries for help were unheard, and the
water was above the boys head We
cannot give better sequel to the termi-
nation of this affair than to use the lads
own words to the writer, which were: II
do not know how I did manage.
They was almost gone when l reached
them, and this time had no help, but
had to get them ashore, and l did just in
time. Stillrater Cor. Troy IN. ~ Times.

How to Treat Fruit Trees.

In considering the growth of organism
the action of the alkalies is to be looked
upon as scarcely less important than
that of air and water. Lime is the great
animal alkali, and potash the vegetable
one; its old name of vegetable kali ex-
pressed that fact, and all the potash of
commerce is known to be derived from
wood ashes. The Importance of potash
as manure has been frequently over
looked by farmers, who rarely know the
large amount Of this material found in
grass, grain, crops, leaves, barn-yard
manure, roots and fruits. How potash
acts in plants, in CONJUNCTION with carbon
and slick, to form woody fiber, starch,
sugar and oil, is yet unknown to chemical
observers, but the fact of its action is be-
yond doubt. Liebig long since pointed
out that the chief cause of barrenness is
the waste of potash carried of by rich
crops, especially tobacco, with no re-
placement by proper manure. How
many millions Of pounds of potash have
been sent to Europe from the forests of
America, and in the grain, tobacco and
hemp? Luckily one alkali may be re-
placed by another, and we have received
a considerable quantity of soda from
European sea-weed and in the shape of
salt. Latterly, nitrate of soda from
natural deposits in South America is
brought to US at cheap price.
The point to which we now call atten-
ton is that our farmers and fruit-growers
have ignored, or rather have been ieno-
rant of, the importance of wood ashes as
q vegetable stimulant and as the leading
of plants. Even coal ashes,
now thrown away a. useless, have been
shown, both by experiment and analysis
to possess fair share Of alkaline value.
According to our observation, If the
practice Of putting . mixture Of wood
and coal ashes around the stems Of fruit
trees and vines, particularly early in the
spring, were followed - general rule,
our crops Of apples, grapes, peaches, ETC.,
would Be greatly bensAted in both quail.

Knowing that you are subject to great
amount of suffering that delicacy on your
part has strong tendency to prOlong, and
the longer tits neglected the more you have
to endure and the more difficult of cure your
case becomes, l, as a physician, who is daily
consulted by SCORES of your sex, desire to say
to you that am constantly meeting with
those who have been treated for their ailments
for months without being benefited in the
least, until they have become perfectly dis.
cOuraged and have almost made up their
minds never to take another dose Of medicine
nor be tortured by any further treatment
They had rather die and have their sufferings
ended than to live and suffer as they have.
They say they are worn out by suffering and
are only made worse by treatment OF any
thing more discouraging we certainly cannot
conceive, and were there no more successful
mode of treating such difficulties than that
the principles of which teach the reducing
aud depicting of the vital forces of the system,
when the indications dictate a treatment d.
rectly the reverse of the one adopted for
them, their cases would be deplorable indeed.
But, lady sufferers, there is Il better and far
more successful plan of treatment for
you; more in harmony with the
laws and requirements OF your sys-
tenn. "A narsn, Irritating, cduStIS ucat-
ment and strong medicines will never cure

telligent lady, take such medicines rs embody
the very best invigorating tones and neryines,
compounded with special reference to your
delicate system. Such happy combination
you will find in my Favorite Prescription,
which has received the loudest praise from
thousands of your sex. Those languid, tire
some sensations, causing you to feel scarcely
able to be on your feet or ascend flight OF
stairs, that continual drain that is sapping
from your systems all your former elasticity
and driving the bloom from your checks; that
continual strain upon your vital forces that
renders you irritable and fretful, may all be
overcome and subdued by persevering use
of that marvellous remedy Irregularities and
Instructions to the proper workings OF your
systems are relieved by this mild and safe
means, while periodical pains, the existence
of which is sure indication of serious dis
ease that should not be neglected, readily
yield to it, and If its use is kept up for rea-
sonable length of time the special cause of
these pains is permanently removed. Further
light ON these subjects may be obtained from

Two Cherry Trees Sunstruck and De-
stroyed.

THE present heated term has produced
at least one phenomenon in this vicinity
which will astonish the natives" who
may hear of it, and perhaps open up a
new field of investigation for scientists
and men of inquiring dispositions.
Instances of persons being sun
struck, with serious and sometimes
fatal results, have occurred quite
frequently of late, as is generally the
case during severe hot spell; but never
until last Sunday has there been, we be-
lieve, such thing reported as case of
suastroks upon trees. Such phenomenon
actually occurred on the day above men
toned, under the following circum-
stances
Mr.. Adolph Vieser, who resides in the
town of Lake View, just north of the
city limits and near the lake shore, has
on his premises several fine large cherry
trees. Two of the largest and best OF
these trees stood at one end of the gar.
den very near to high board fence
Both of them were very thrifty, were
covered with green leaves and bore a
bountiful crop of cherries. which were
nearly ripe. About three O'Clock last
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Vieser was stand.
ing for moment near those trees, when
suddenly he heard a strange noise, as il
caused by the splitting of wood or bark
above his head. Looking upward, he
witnessed the most astounding freak OF
nature he had ever met with The bark
covering those trees began to peel off al
the top, curling downward along the trunk
and limbs until it reached the ground,
and leaving the trees as naked and bar
rem as though they had been riven by
the lightning's bolt Banks, leaves and
cherries were all stripped off, and laid q
promiscuous mass of ruins upon the
parchcd earth surrounding the desolate
trunks. The process occupied but three
or four seconds, and as soon as he coulG
recover from his establishment Mr.
Vieser made thorough examination OF
the trees. The ruin was complete. HI
found the trunks, limbs, twigs, leaves and
fruit perfectly dead. They had literally
died Of sunstroke.
1t will be remembered that last Sun
day was one of the hottest days of the
season thus far in this vicinity. There
was lively breeze all day, but the rays
of the sun were unusually severe. OF
course the fact that the unfortunate trees
were standing SO near a high. tight fence
from which the suns rays reflected di
rectly upon them, added several degree:
to the severity of the heat; and yet, sucl
result as was witnessed by the owner
is certainly one of the most curious ant
interesting phenomena of the season.

The Coming Comet.

THE latest computations prove that
Coggias comet is the most extraordinary
body of the kind that has ever visited
the solar system, and that probably by
the goth OF July the earth will be passing
through its tail. Already the tail is
about 100000 miles long, but as, like
Donatis comet, the tail of this one is
curved Though from the position Of the
earth we cannot perceive the curvature)
the real is much greater than the appar-
ent length. Mr. Henry NJ. Parkhurst
who has been making calculations in re-
gard both to the orbit of the comet and
the gradual elongation of the tail, esti-
mates that the perihelion distance of the
comet from the sun lies just within the
orbit of Venus, and that the tail in
creases one-tenth each day. He further
makes number of predictions in regard
to this wonderful visitor which are of so
interesting character that we quote
them in full:
"On the 14th Of July the head Of the
comet will have reached the horizon in
the northwest at the end Of twilight, so
that it will not easily be visible after
that date; but the tail will extend nearly
to the pole-star.. Donati's comet had a
retrograde motion, and when the earth
met it, and the tail was most brilliant, it
was placed nearly at right angles with
the line of vision. On the other hand
this comet, whose perihelion distance is
very little greater, coming just within
the orbit of Venus, moves in the same
direction with the earth, and nearly with
the same velocity (reduced to the plane
o. the equator), in consequence of which
'ne TAN, which is now nearly at right
angles with the line of vision, will grad
uaily turn toward US, still apparently
pointing nearly in the same direction. It
VIII DC remembered that Donati's comet
was curved like soldiers plume; but

straight, because the curvature .,;,, y.
