O'CONOR.
The Charges against Him In Con.
necti0n with the Forrest Will

case.
New York, April 2O.-The tribunal
appointed by the Committee OF the Bar
Association to investigate the charges
made against Charles o'Conor in counec-
ton with the Forrest case met to-day.
Ex-Governor Dix presided. Mr.. OConor
presented lettes, received last evening,
from Mrs. Sinclair. In It Mrs. Sinclair
states that she now, as well as before, en-.
tertains the same feeling Of gratitude, and
reatiirmed her assertion that the article
had been published without her consent,
against her wishes, and after the solemn
promise had been given thatitshould not
be. Mrs. Sinclair also says that she has
never made any charge against Mr..
0'Conor, and has no intention OF doing SO.
Mr.. Sedley, brother-in-law Of Mrs. Sin
clair, read protest against the compost
ton Of the committee, in whose organiza-
ton only one Of the parties to the contro-
yersy has voice. u
Mr. 0'Conor said he did not intend TO
notice Mr.. Sedlcy's protest, but had come
prepared to verify each and every state
ment contained in his memorial to the
Bar Association. In relation to the allie.
cation that he had charged Mrs. Sinclair
exorbitantly, he said this was not so; the
whole amount charged and obtained by
him during nineteen years from the lady
was about $4,000. Mr.. 0'Conor then
made a statement showing how all the
money had been disbursed, and said that
the charge that it was understood that he
was to conduct Mrs. Sinclair's case for
nothing, or that it had been attempted to
give her such an impression, was absolute
ly false.
After the introduction OF few witness
ses for Mr.. OConor, he handed to the
Chairman the papers connected with the
case, and left the matter in their hands, to
abide by their decision.

ches apart. A good rich sandy loan soil
Is required for onions, well incorporated
; with rotted manure. The crop can be
!. planted from year to year on the same
/ ground. In fact It is better TO plant the
| same ground several years in succession.
F.. The surer you are Of crop. The first
onions we get in the spring are the pota.
. to variety, set out in the fall and grown
all winter. They generally come on ct
for the table in April. They were extra
early thisyear There are, as everybody
should know, two classes Of onions, the
Annuals and Bicnnials. The latter are
so wn in thin soil, thick in the row, rows
about foot apart. The standard An
nuals are the "Red Wetherstield" and
the "Yellow Danvers." The Biennials
comprise the Common Red" and "Silyer
Skins" varieties. The early crop is
marketed at extra good paying prices,
viz at ten and five cents per small bunch
From three hundred TO FIVE hundred
bushels per acre can be raised, and the
cropwill generally average 50 per bushel,
They are however an expensive crop to
raise, requiring great deal Of work.
Cucumbsrs are always a feature Of
more or less promi ncnce In every market
gardeners grounds. Mr.. Hills method
of planting his early crop is to cut out
sods G inches square and to insert these
sods in "coId Frame" planting 10 to l2
seeds in sod. They arc generally up in
week, after which time the sash Of the
cold frOme should be frequently lifted to
give them the air and sun. About the
10th Of May ia the time 10 transplant, and
the way to4d0 this is to transfer the
sods to the garden and set them
in hills six feet each way. The first
crop should come on about the 18th
Of June, at which time cucumbers are
worth 25 cents per dozen. The late, or
regular crop, should be planted about
corn planting time, and for pickles about
the middle OF June. New land Is the best
for cucumbers, as II is for all'vines.
The reader can easily see from the
foregoing enumeration OF the principal
articles raised by Mr.. Hill in his garden,
that the business OF market gardening is
one that ought to pay good profits. And
1t does pay, as everybody knows who is
familiar with the history Of the business
around Wheeling.
We have often thought thstit,hose per-
sons who "go West" to make n fortune by
farming, would either lease or buy few
acres near TO marketin this region, they
would, in the cohrse Of time, have more
10 show for their work, and at less sac.
ritice too, to themselves and families, in
the way Of health and society. The same
hard work here, coupled with the same self
denial, would, in the majority Of in.
stances, yield larger returns. But then,
Of course, II this view was generally ia
ken, however correct it may be, the new
countries would never be settled up. And
hence it must needs be that the average
man will disregard our advice and take
