Baltimore, June 7.-On Saturday af.
ternoOn, near Odenton, at the junction
of the Baltimore and Potomac aud An
napolis Railroad, in Anne Arundel
county, daughter OF John Jackson, a
farmer, was shocking!y abused By an
unknown negro man. The young lady
is aged about eighteen years, most re-
spectacle connected, and highly respec>
ted aud beloved. Before beiug over,
come the lady fought desperately, her
clothes being torn in shreds, and her
face and neck being terribly cut and
bruised. The negro made his escape,
but was captured this morning about
daylight by the party which had con-
tinued the search since Saturday in the
woods and swamps On being taken to
the residence Of Dir. jackson he was
identified by his victim, ard afterwards
confessed the crime lie gave his
name as John Simons. lie was put on
Il train and taken to Annapolis, and,
notwithstanding several attempts were
made to take him from his eaptors and
lynch him, was safely lodged in Jail.
The greatest possible excitement pre-
walls, and fears OF further attempts to
lynch him have not subsided.

Root Pruning Superseded.

Some. fifteen years ago / had u small
apple tree that leaned considerably. !
drove stake by 1t, tied a string TO a
limb, and fastened IL to the stake. The
next year the limb blossomed fully,
and not another blossom appeared on
the tree. Therefore, after thinking the
matter over, came to the conclusion
that the string was so tight that 1t pre-
vented the sap returning to the roots,
consequently fruit buds were formed.
Having a couple of pear trees that were
large enough to bear, but never bios
somed, took piece of coarse twine
and wound it several times around the
tree above the lower limbs, and tied II
us tightly rs could. The next spring
all the top above the cord blossomed as
white as a sheet, and there was not one
blossom below where the cord was tied.
A neighbor, seeing my trees loaded
with pears, used this method with the
same result. l have since tried the ex-
pertinent on several trees with almost
equal success. / think 1t is much
better plan than root pruning. In early
summer, say June and July, wind a
piece of strong Irvine several times
round the tree or single limb and tie 1t,
the tighter the better, and you will be
pleased with the result. Next winter
or spring the cord may be taken off,
