Planting Trees in the Fall

The question whether spring
or fall is the better season for
planting has been much discuss
ed, and the conclusion has gen
orally been, that in Western
New York and similar climates,
one is about as good as the 9TH
er. My experience with hardy
fruit and deciduous and orna-
mental trees is in favor of the
fall. 1t is true that we have an
occasional severe winter, when
fall planted trees suffer, but
these are of rare occurrence.
Last fall, quite late, after the
hurry of the season was all over,
[ planted several hundred dwarf
pear trees. After planting, the
earth was drawn up around the
base, say six or seven inches a
boye the level of the ground, to
give protection to the roots and
stiffen the tree against the force
of the wind. May 22d 1 had
the earth around the trees re-
moved to the ground level and
found vigorous new roots, three
to fiveincbes in length, spreading
in all directions from the ounce
stock. The tops are also push
ing rapidly, and in the whole
planting Of 500 trees there is
not a failure. Itis easy to see
what an advantage these trees
have over those planted this
spring, even under the most IA
vorable circumstances for the
latter. In spring planting it
often happens that long period
of cold weather and drying
winds follows the planting, and
the trees get seriously dried be-
fore the growing season opens,
or a dry period comes before
the roots have acquired yigor e.
nough to sustain the tree under
such adverse influence; they Ell
ther die or finger along teebly all
summer.
We must take some risk in
planting at any season, but on
the whole | think the chances are
in favor Of the fall for hardy de-
ciduous trees.--BT1sn Recorder.

Cincinnati Commercial: The moral
sentiment of the country is with Hayes.
There is no doubt about dishonesty and
incorrubtibility. There is no doubt
whatever that he will redeem the pied
ges of his letter of acceptance, so far as
it is in the power of tho executive to re-
deem them. The country feels that he
is safe man, and it is coming to be I'M
derstOod that he is n strong one, with a
will of his own. There is not the same
feeling in regard to Tilden. A man
educated in all the wiics of New York
politics; IN old associate and manager of
political campaigns with Tweed and his
gang; railroad lawyer who has accum-
ulated Il colossal fortune as the attorney
of Railroad Rings, like that of the Cred
it Mobilier, and who has temporized
ever since his nomination, to patch up
q compromise with the homogeneous ele-
ments of his party; Il candidate who
starts out in the canvass upon the basis
of Il solid South, and is manipulating to
carry enough Northern States to give
him, with the assistance of this solid
sectional vote, majority in the Elector-
al College, these, and other conSidera-
tons, make men suspicious of him, Who
would otherwise rally to his support.

T1LDEN's letter took effect very speed
lily. In the House, on Saturday, a bill
was introduced and passed to repeal the
date clause of the resumption act. 1t
was almost q strict party vote, though
a few hard-money Democrats like Nor
rison and Lamar voted in the negative
and few soft-money Republicans, like
Fort, voted in the affirmative. Cate and
Lynde voted for the bill, and Caswell,
Kimghalll and Rusk against it. Burch-

that the Senate will act on it; and if it
should pass both houses. of course the
President would veto it.-iSentc,le1.

Objects to Paying Debts.

For some months past One-armed
man, named John A. Cosier, has been Os-
tensibly living upon soldiers homestead,
but he has spent great share OF his time
loafing around town. A short tune ago
he got together horse, harness and
sleigh. Just where he got the horse. our
informant does not state, but the harness
and sleigh belonged to Alex. Hudson,
but we believe he got the property by
promising to pay for it when his pension
came. He also borrowed some money Of
John F. Mcdonald, on the same kind of
promises. Last week, Friday morning,
he left town, as he said, after some hay,
but not coming back, it was suspected by
his creditors that he had departed hence,
with designs of swindling them. In the
evening, Sheriff Paquette started after
him, finding him at Little Traverse,
where he had put up at a hotel, promis-
ing his rig for his bill. He was brought
back, and promising to fix up all of his
debts. when his pension came, he was al
lowed the liberty of the town. >. The old
man who had 'sfat-iron" foot, and by
some, said to be Cosier's father, was with
him. but he was not brought back. 1t is
probable that Cosier will think twice be-
fore he tries to evade the payment of his
debts in this way again.

Fire Matters.

The citizens meeting called at Wer-
theimer's store last Saturday evening
was not as largely attended as it should
have been, and, as a consequence. moth
ing was done, further than to talk over
matters, and appoint committee, con-
sisting of John McGinn and VIM. Bar
tholomew, to call a meeting OH Wednes-
day evening, for the purpose of organic
ing fire company. This meeting re-
suited in many more being present, but
not as many rs there should have been.
The necessities of some prompt action in
regard TO some organization was talked
over, there being but one expression of
feeling, and that was in its favor. The
following preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
| WHEREAS. At a meeting Of the clti-
zens OF the village of ChebOygan, held
December 18th. 1876, at J. j. Cueny's
hall, it was considered highly imports mt
| that a fire company should be organized,
| and,
WHEREAS, AS there is no suitable
place at present for the meeting of the
members of company so organized, there
fore be it
ReSolUed, That the common council of
this village be requested to furnish a
building, temporarily for said purpose, to
be used as tireman's hall. and, also, if
found necessary, suitable place for
keeping the engine.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolu-
tons be transmitted to the common
council at its next meeting, Monday
night.
Nearly all those present signed an
agreement to become members of fire
company. Mr.. Ell. A. Blake was select
ed to circulate the papers for further sig
natures, which Will be submitted to the
council on Monday night. The meeting
then adjourned until last night.
The meeting last night resulted in the
appointment of Alex Mcdonald, C. S.
Ramsay and VIM. Mulvaugh committee
to ascertain if suitable hall could be
had for the cOmpany's headquarters; and,
also a place to keep the engine. The
committee is to report to the council on
Monday night. About seventy names
have already signed the pledge to be-
come members of the organization.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. DECEMBER l6, 1876.
A Good Showing.

The annual meeting of the Congrega-
tional church and society took place on
Wednesday evening. There was fair
attendance. but hardly as large as might
have seemed desirable. The Trustees
and Treasurer made somewhat of de-
tailed report of their work during the
year, which showed that the church was
in a good financial condition. The Treas
urer's report showed that the receipts
from all sources during the year, had
been 81 800 IL, while the disbursements
had been the same amount. The report
also showed that at the commencement
of the fiscal year of 1876, the indebted
ness of the church was $447 az, while
the debt at the end of the year, less avail
able assets, was $123 SO, decrease dur
ing the year of 1928 73, very gratifying
showing indeed. The report of the
Board of Trustees, shows that the future
prospects of the church are also very en-
couraging. The affairs of the church have
been managed in as economical a man.
ncr as possible. A few necessary improve
ments and repairs have been put upon
the church property, and an insurance
of $4,000 has been kept upon the proper
ty. The estimated expenses of the
church for the coming year, including
pastors salary and the Indebtedness of
the church, are $1,44S SO, towards the
payment of which amount the Trustees
have available assets and pledges to the
amount of $1,000 Is. The Trustees ex-
pressed the belief that the apparent de-
ficit for the year, would be fully arranged
for before the first of January. With the
same interest which has been manifested
during the past year, the church will be
reported free from debt at the end of the
incoming fiscal year.
In estimating the resources of the
church tor the coming year, the Trustees
made 10 mention CT amounts which
might be raised by the ladies by means
OF entertainments, sc. During the past
year quite large amount was raised in
this mauner, and. ut the same time, fur
nished much qualification TO OR citizens
in the way OF amrlscmcnts. We under
stand the ladies' OF the church will ar
range series OF entertainments for this
purpose during the year. Should they
be able to raise i'm this manner the same
amount us last year, there would be only
about 5000 yet to be provided for. A
of the ladies express the opin-
ion that they can do as much this
year as last.
After listening to the reports, the soci-
ETY. proceeded 20 the election OF officers,
which resulted i'm the reelection Of all the |
retiring officers, rs follows:
Trustee.-G. ID. V. RollO.
Clerk.-C. s. Ramsay.
Treasurer.-G. ID. V. ROllo.
The meeting then adjourned.
