Pruning and Training Fruit Trees.

Our most successful pomologists agree
that a standard tree. in an orchard. should
have five or six feet OF clean, straight
stem. Straightness can be perfectly OBJ
tanned by keeping the young tree tied 10
a stake until il has acquired strength and
firnness enough TO support itself IN a
straight position. All shoots proceeding
from the stem. below the first tier of
branches forming the head should be rub
bed OF with the hand while tender. as. if
allowed to grow. they retard the develop
ment of the head and impair the form and
habit of the tree. In forming the head of a
young standard vigorous upright root
should be secured for leader, and three
or four Others of the most vigorous to form
branches or boughs. A laxness or slen-
derncsS Of habit can be- corrected by pinch
ing of the ends of the branches, produc-
ing more horizontal growth. AT the
present time in the growing season young
trees will be- pushing vigorously. and. a a
general thing. will have made growth
enough To enable the orcharlist To per-
ceive what form they are about to assume
whether the young branches are pro-
ceeding from the right place. and in IT,
right direction TO reach the desired form.
II they are not they should be set right at
once by rubbing off shoots that are not
wanted. pinching the top of TO retard
such as are pushing too vigorously 10 the
detrimcnt of others. An equality of
growth among shoots intended for the
main branches. or framework of the tree.
should be maintained: and where a surplus
OF small branches in the interior are APP
pearing, giving the tree bushy or twiggy
look. sufficient number of them should
be removed To allow the others to acquire
a full and vigorous growth. The ordinary
mode of proceeding is to allow the trees to
grow as nature and circumstances may
direct during the summer. and in winter
or spring correct by pruning. etc, any de-
fects or deformities that may have arisen.

The Predatory Musketo.

On balmy wings of starry night. by
summer breczes blown, there comes a
voice no ear can slight: a feathery mono
tone. of awful portent. Whirring round
our poor devoted ears, the echoes OF that
goddess sound awaken all our fears. and
make us curse the summer night, with all
its shadows of delight. All useless fall
our vigorous blows 10 mash the sharp in
truder. for when we smite away he goes,
beyond our reach. Seclude ourselves as
best we may. or draw the netting close
about us. the fiend is sure To find flaw.
through which to bite and rout us from
dreams that might be passing sweet, but
for his guile and base deceit.
For in the silence of the room he Silly
sits i'm waiting. He peers athwart the
lonely gloom. his secret soul initiating.
with ghoulish dreams of human blood.
He waits 10 hear our snoring then goes
for his nocturnal food without delay.
Exploring our poor prone bodies DER and
DER he revels in prospective gore. Atlast,
with instinct sure as sin. he finds nice
blue vein. and rips his little dagger in and
pulls il out again. until he gets his baggy
paunch As full as il can be-. And then he
sits upon his haunch and chuckles. Gaily
he then squirts some poison i'm the wound.
the while his lullabys resound. The pang
goes shooting through our nerves. till,
Weakening with a sense of pain. we seize
the nearest thing that serves, and seek the
predator In vain , Upon the distant
chimney pot he sits. serenely whetting his
CORY bayonet red-hot for the next day 5
blood-letting. and gently croons an artful
chorus. 10 warn US that he means TO bore
us.-Brooklyn Rertetg.

A Thrilling Speech.

Says the Bowling Green (Ky.) Demo
crat: During the recent canvass I'm this
county for nominations by the primary
election" Dick Lucas. of this city. was a
candidate for the jailership. He Is an ora
tor Of his own peculiar sort. and deals in a
kind of eloquence which has scarcely a
parallel. At Bristow Station he delivered
himselfin singularly feeling and impress
sive manner, addressing the crowd of
eager listeners a follows:
FELLOW CIrfzENs-Wherc are my OPP
ponents! Why, gentlemen. they are no
where. feel myself as much above my
opponents as possum i'm a persimmon
tree does above the ground he crawls on.
call on you I'm the name of the shaggy
headed lion, which whipped the American
eagle; | call on you in the name Of the
peacock of liberty, which flewed over the
Rocky Mountains-to come TO my rescue.
Come on Monday next and promote Dick
to the office TO which he perspires. When
you shall have been dead, and the green
briers shall have entwined themselves
around your graves, then will your sons
come TO me and say, Dick, some years ago
our fathers voted for you for the office of
jailership of Warren county; then will
say, Roll on thou silver moon, will be
with thee till the last day in the evening"

rs As announced elsewhere,
the Shelbyvillc Congressional
Convention presented the name
Of Hon. John NJ. Bright, as the
Democratic candidate. Of
course, the selection receives Our
hearty endorsement. So far as
Mr.. Bright is concerned, we adj
mire him greatly. He is able,
honest and frank. His private
reputation needs no comment.
His bitterest antagonist has
never been able to refer to an
act dcrogatory to his character.
His qualifications are Of the
first order, and as he is the NOM
iuee Of one of the largest con-
ventiOnS that ever convened in
this district, we have the right
to conclude that he is the choice
of a large majority of the DEM
ocratic voters. If it were nee
essary, we could say much in
Mr.. Bright's favor, but as he is
we'll known, we will leave furth-
er remarks for some future time.
