We alluded the other day to the departure of
Mr.. Love for Geneva, With pack train, juSt be-
fore a snow commenced, and predicted that he
would have rough time. He assures MS that il
is just what he had-being three days making a
trip that he could make in the summer in eight
hours.
The first night he had to camp about eight
miles from town, with the snow sixteen inches
deep; bat be selected a sheltered place, shoveled
off the snow, and managed tn get through the
night very we'll. In the morning several of the
animals were gone, and were afterwards found
on the Range, fast in the snow; they had start
ed ahead along the trail their hook
This delayed the party awhile, bnt finally they
got of, and, by picking path, crossed the Range
without further trouble, and camped the second
night in the shelter of the timber.
The third day they had TO founder alsng at a
slow pace, sometimes being compelled to dig n
path through drifts for the animals. When
nearing the mine, one man was sent forward to
order dinner prepared, and to send down recruits
to the party with shovels aud just three days af-
ter leaving Georgetown the train reached the
Revenue mine with cargo all in god condition.

PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT.-wr have taken pains
to inquire Of several fruit growers in the vicinity
concerning the prospects, fr fruit the coming
season, aud rejoice to hear that prospects couId
not well be better. Peaches are pretty sure TO
be abundant. The intense Geld of the winter Of
1872 and 1873 injured only trees over three years
old. and they have made growth of new wood
and are filed with thrifty buds. YOung trees
just coming into bearing never looked mure
promising, aud the eoldness of March has been
favorable, retardiBg the development Of the buds
aud insuring sn abundance Of fruit. Apple trees
are loaded with bnds, and there will undoubtedly
be large and excellent crDp. Pear, cherry and
plum trees are very full VI buds, and promise
abu"dant crops. The apricot buds are the Host
forward Of all fruit buds, and cold April would
DO them damage; bat q cold March is scarcely
evsr followed BY cold April. therefore we may
foel pretty secare Of abundant fruits Of all kinds
next fall. lt may not be amss to remark In this
connection that now Is good time 20 make
raid npon the vermin that infest fruit snd shade
troes. Look for the tent cat .rpilar and the leaf
trumpeter. They will be found With ease now,
and they and the eggs and larvae of undeveloP.

locnsts VIII also be found the troublesome hog
worms, that SO fatally defnliaie the shade trees Of

RUNoRED Row.-There is 4 report Of bitter
row between Senator Harvey aud Representative
Phillips, over the appointment of State Senator
to be q Land Ofic'r somewhere up Northwest
The matter is hardly worth quarrel. OF conrsc
there some excellent good men in our Kansas
State Senate, but as rule, they are hardly worth
rowing about. The Kansas Senate has several
things TO settle with their constituency befure
they will be immensely popular with their con-
s.ituents. We can imagine valid excuse for
the defeat Of the temperance bill the defeat of
the bill reducing fees and salaries. the defeat Of
the free pass bill, the passage of the Railroad
preferred stock bill, &c. For these and sundry
and divers other good and sufficient reasons, and
for the further reason, that they are dead coeks
in the pit aayhow-'hcy have no further votes
for United States Senator and in behalf Railroads.
Nothing. excepta vote on the Impeachment Of
poor cripple,l soldinr-for all thess reasons, we
suggest TO our friends. Senator Harvey, and

Washington intelligence says that "a portion

tai car and free delivery system" We hope this
is not true. We should regret to See these sys-
TEN abolished. Tyis postal ear system bus been
n powerful agency in Improving the mail service.
1t has been especially popular with the people.
BY this method-nOw much nearer perfection

With the introduction Of this system the old

anew at distributing Offices was done away WITH
much to the benefit of the patruns of the mails.
We believe that full hearing of the advantages
of the posta car service will lead the committee
to pause before abslishins it. We most heartily

TEE NEW PENNsYLvANIA CoNsTfTU'
TUITION.
A Summary .ris. ChIef Prsvisis.s.

The leading points of the new constitution OF
Penneylvhnia are represented in the following
summary:
The limitations imposed on special legislation
are snch ss TO remove of the most prolihe
sources OF corruption. The legislator can no
longer DO exposed TO the tempt alton of putting
up the rights of his constituents for sale to the
highest bidder. Municipalities and corporations
will no longer find themselves the subjects Of un-
restricted plumber, nor can they purchase ex-mp-
tion or undue privileges by thnly lyveiled bribery.
Restricted to { he consideration of general laws,
the Assembly will become place of honor, to o
seat in which the best citizens may be expected
to aspire, while the wise provisions against lob
bying aud hasty legislation, the increase in the
number Of members, and the holding of biennial
sessions, Will secare more thought full consider
atiUn of sll subjects presented for action While
there has been an honest difference of opinion on
the subject of elective Judiciary, all men have
united In the wish tn keep the bench beyond the
influence of politics The desirable result has
been accomplished to q great extent by prolong-
ing the terms of Justices of the Supreme Court,
and rendering them ineligible for reelection.
All extra judicial functions have also been re-
moved from the lower courts
The fee system which, in our large cities, has
been so prolific a source of oppression on the
people and of corruption in elections, is abolish
ed, and fixed salaries are substituted therefor.
Election laws ara to he uniform throughout
the Commonwealth, and no citizen is to be dis
franchised through reason of his omission from
any register of voters. Election officers are
everywhere to be elected by the people. while
sueh regulations are framed as shall conduce to
the purity Of elections.
The libel law is so changed that while the pri-
yate citiZtn will, as heretofore, enjoy full pro-
lection against public slsnder. malfeassnce in Of
flee and matters proper for public information
can be exposed, If done without malice aud af
ter investigation.
