D,cdrfs Changed to Stondards.-A cor

recommends bending down the lower
branches Of dwarf pear trees and wind

then covering their ends as in layering.
These take root and convert the tree in

it is recommended to plant it against n

seasons. Its time Of ripening is during
the first half OF October. The tree is
very healthy and profuse bearer, and
the fruit is sweet, juicy and excellent at

The Utica papers take no stock in the
reported $500, 900 embezzlement by Bab-
bitt' confidential clerk, Beckwith, and
seem to think that the great soap man,
who is said to be a monomaniac on the
subject of frauds by his employees, has
been imposed upon by some one in the
hope of reward. They give Beckwith
a high character, and argue against the
possibility of so large a fraud having
been committed on the sly and without
suspicion.
Joseph Smith, son of the Mormon
Prophet and President of the organiza-

and speeches made. The gathering was

BosToN, April 6 The Springfield Re-
publican of to-day says that in settling
the affairs of Patrick Donshue, proprie'
tor of the Boston Pilot, a Catholic news
paper in this city, who recently went into
bankruptcy, facts of the most disgrace
full character came to light. 1t seems
that for many years Donahue has been
in the habit of receiving funds from per-
sons who wishe1 to place them in safe
hands. He had the unlimited confidence
Of the public and especially the Irish
Catholics, Who regarded him one oftheir
best friends. During the past few years
be has received thousands of dollars
from this class of people. Donahue, as
President of the Emigrant Saw
ings Bank, also suggested to the igno-
rant ~depositors that he would receive
their money the same as the bank did,
would invest also for them, and pay
them seven per cent. interest. In this
way thousands of dollars we're taken. II
is found that the trust funds confded &c
his care and the money received on de
post have been put into his business
aud lost. The suffering which will fol
low this breach of trust cannot fail to be
very great.
