The Fruit Crop Prospeet.

From the CincinnAti Gazette.
Notwithstanding the two alarms we
have had the prospect is we shall have a
very good supply OF fruit. The early
freeze which came upon the well.develop-
cd buds Of apples and pears seemed at first
to be most sweeping destruction. Many
examinations were made OF fruit buds,
aud the black dead germ seemed TO
reveal itself almost universally. But
whether 1t was owing to the uncommon
vitality which these buds possessed
from1he rest and fine growth Of the trees
lastyear, or whether We are not always
likely to be too premature in our croak-
Ing yerdicts, the fact remains that in
spI,e Of that early freeze there was
d grand promise Of an overwhelming
sron OF our standard fruits up to
the recent black frost Of a week ago.
This frost destroyed many buds, and yet
as a general thing, an abundance re-
mains. Indeed, ills quite possible that
this late frost was q real blessing. Our
ample orchards were blooming so pro-
fasely that there was danger Of their be-
inc overloaded with fruit And as our
cultivators never get any time to do any
needed thinning out, the frost may have
done this efIectually, and yet scarcely any
too muchs ~ I.Et $50. - ;s.r

rne rfurderer Of Mabel Young.

lBosros, May SIT is reported that
Piper has confessed TO the murder OF Ma.
bel Young, and also Of the Landegran
girl, Of which he was suspected ut the
time, two years ago. .... .,... .t
Piper's confession has not yet been
made public. His counsel in the Su.
preme Court this morning said he would
not press the motion for new trial in
view OF the conversation he had with Pi-
per, Judge Cott thereupon overruled the
motion. The announcement that Piper
had confessed himself tiie murderer OF
the child and OF the young woman, oauOOd
great excitement this morning.
A petition for the communication OF his
death sentence in consequence Of doubts
OF his guilt, has been numerously signed.
1t is quite certain that Piper was the as
sailant Of Mary lyman, mysteriously
beaten July 1st, 1874, and now an inmate
of lunatic asylum. He says the muir
der of Mabel Young and Bridget Lande'
gran were prompted by stimulants, under
the influence Of which he had an insane
desire to shed blood,

Tie success Of many business men is

The success Of many business men is
largely owing to the introduction Of the
drummer system. II enables the smaller
cities, like Wheeling, to do business in
competition with larger cities. The aver.
age country merchant can buy goods as
cheap in Wheeling as in Baltimore. A
wholesaler here, Of moderate capital,
aided by experienced travellers, can culti-
yate the trade within radius OF fifty
miles in away that no casual visitor can
cultivate it. He can accommodate every
mans wants in a shorter time, and can af-
ford TO trust him as far as he should
be trusted, having his eye constant,
ly upon him, as it were. lie
knows just what to buy for this Market
and he can buy it in.quantilies large
enough to command all the discounts
given to the iobbiug trade. This fact, to.
gether with his cheaper rents here, and
ability to guard against bad debts, enable
him to sell on advantageous terms.
Not alone to the wholesaler is
the drummer an advantage. He is
likewise an advantage to the sre.
taller. The latter is kept constant.
ly posted as to the changes in the price
list OF every article he sells. He receiy-
es such number OF offers throughout
the course OF a year that he becomes nc.
curateIy posted. He saves the expense
and loss of time OF leaving his business
to come on and buy. Moreover he buys
the goods at home, carries smaller stock,
has fewer dead goods left over, and is en-
abled to do business more economically
than under tho old style. He buys, as a
rule, if lie is desirable customer, just
as cheapIy ms he could buy away from
home, at the headquarters Of trade.
These are not all the views that might
be taken of the Drummer question. No
doubt there are others that will readily
suggest themselves TO business men. But
they are enough to show that not little
can be said on both sides.
