Effect of Root Grating.

Most nurserymen dig up roots of apple
trees, cut them in pieces few inches
long, graft each piece, plant the pieces
in rows and cultivate them for trees. A
Western writer in denunciation of this
practice says: ''After four dry seasons
and four successive failures in making
young trees grow, and after the disasters
of the frosts following three of those
years, | am prepared to state my opinion
that unless our nurserymen change their
methods of propagating and handling
apple and other nursery stock, fruit-tree
growing will have to be ranked among
the lost arts. The average tree from the
average nurseryman, as we now get it,
is watery-looking sprout with little top
and less roots, said roots having the ap-
pearance of forked radish. 1t was pro-
pagated on root or piece of one, the
graft having been water sprout origin
ally, and is probably ten or twenty moves
and years remote from it's original fruit
bearing ancestors. If the season is in
every way cool, moist and favorable, and
the soil in which it is put is at once rich
and humid, the young tree will start off
the first year and grow vigorously. But
it will be a water sprout still-still con-
tinue to make abundant wood; refuses to
blossom and fruit till frost and droughts
come together, whenit goes under."-

tary Of State and the State Treasurer the

ures are compiled:
STATISTICS OF INDEBTEDNESS.
By chapter no, general laws of 1862, it
is made the duty of each county, town,
city and village clerk in the State, when
ever requested to do so by the Secretary
of State, to make a full and complete
statement of the financial condition of
such town, city or village, showing the
bonded Indebtedness thereof, and the
purposes for which the same was in

est thereon remaining unpaid, and all
other forms Of Indebtedness. Reports

CAN IT BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months considerable number of per-
sons have called upon DR.. Walker, the
proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured
him that, in their belief, his preparation
is an infallible antidote for rum and to-
bacco. The minute details which have
been furnished him forbid him to doubt
the accuracy of the statements. This
new claim of great remedy to the con-
fidence of the public will give a vast
and well-deserved impulse to it's popu-
larity. Heretofore the BrrTERs have
been recognized as a pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol,
and thoroughly adapted to the cure of
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular
diseases, and indeed majority of the
ailments within the reach of medicine
but if it will also cure the cravings for
liquor and tobacco, philosophers, states
men and theologians ought to unite their
voices in it's praise. Can the good news
be true? 1t is easy to test the question.

Westons recent exploit at the Third Avenue

start a record OF their own. The pedestrian lever

ing match which took place there ON Friday last.
The contestants were MIR. J. W. Hawley, well
known under the sobriqust of Captain Ginger"
and MIR. H. NJ. vreeand, well known In insurance
circles IN New York city. Hawley stands six leet
three and half inches in his stocking feet, and
weighs l3l pounds and his foot Is said to be the
extraordinary length OF thirteen inches This is
not his first attempt at notoriety i'll this line, he
having beaten Anthony Bancroft, a former cham-
pion OF Union county, at the Somervilie race
course last fall. Vreeand Is shorter by three
inches than his opponent. and weighs about the
same this IS his first appearance IN public and he
was only induced to accept the challenge or the
sake of amusement although he afterwards pri-
vately wagered basket Of champagne that ne

course waS carefully measured by MIR. J. l.. Derby,
newly elected Justice OF the Peace IN Union

WHOSE FAULT WAS IT7
new HAVEN, July 2S, 1874.


TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
SIR-The Harvard-Yale imbroelio has, no doubt
lost its interest for many o! your readers; but a
few words apropos OF Yale's conduct may not be
out o. place. point which all the New York
papers seem to have ignored Is that the party
cheated naturally loses temper, while the de-
irauding party has nothing 10 lament. Grant that
Harvard meant to run down Yale, and the conduct
OF the respective crews is clear. Yale, surprised
and indignant, used very vigorous language. at
which Harvard who has accomplished her lnten-
tion, is greatly shocked. That Mr. Cook swore at
Harvard is not to be denied: but that Harvard
maintained meek and touching silence is untrue.
The crew did not see but IRON Freshman I'D to
senior every Harvardlan overheard was engaged
IN damning Yale. This in public. what they said
IN private may be inferred from q little incident
which happened TO friend OF mlne Coming sud
denly round corner, he passed behind two burly
wearers 'oI the magenta, one OF whom. not
seeing him, remarked, 'Wouldn't the Yales have
beaten us like he'll if we hadn't fouled 'em this
atternOOnN' AS Tor the decision OF the referee
the press has already abundantly shown its alb
surdtty. To decide, as he did, that no iOul had
taken place, was TO decide that there can be no
such thing as a foul; for II ever foul has taken
place in the whole history OF boating one occur
and rudder are unanswerable witnesses to this.
Either Y ale or Harvard fouled Nnd either Yale or
Harvard shOuG have been judged guilty. As 10 is.
what Is the result? Columbia has the colors: but
race was the best no one knows or can know
The boat that led at the two miles was crippled;
the boat that came in second was washed and
otherwise iockeyed. What should have been the

The New Dog Pound.

The new Dog Pound, at the foot of East Sixteenth
aud Seventeenth streets, was fully described IN
these columns yesterday. Alderman Morris stated
on Thursday that the new pound would not be
opened for a week, but yesterday he declared that
the old pound, on the west side, would be
closed to-day Saturday, and that dogs would
be received in the new pound on Monday. Work
men will busy to-day to making the necessary
alterations in the Old market and putting the
drowning apparatus in its proper place. The ohi-
cials round the City Han think that the new pound
will be q great Improvement on the Old one. and
that drowning will be an easier mode OF death than
asphy xiaton. Mayor Havemeyer was questioned
yesterday abOnt the dog campaign, but declined to
that likely TO affect his chances OF re eiec
ton for third term.
