Saved from the Gallo,y..

1t has already been announced that
John Phair, who was to have been hung
at Windsor, Vt, on Friday last for the
murder of Mrs. Annie Frieze, had been
granted a reprieve by the Governor to
the 4th of May. 1t seems the reprieve
was granted under singular circumstanS
ces and just in the nick of time. Mr..
Marshall ID. Downing, a Boston mer-
chant, whilst in his Office at 9 o'clock on
Friday morning had his attention called
to published statement of Phair, declar-
ing his innocence, and read it through in
detail. When Downing came to clause
in which Phair said that he was not able
to prove to the satisfaction of the
Jury where he was at the time
the murder was committed, and
especially to that portion where he posi-
lively asserted that ne was in Piovidencea
X. l., seeking employment of the Ameri-
can Screw Company, but was unsuccesss
full in so doing, it flashed across Down.
iGg's mind that some time in June, 1874,
he visited Providence on some business.
and on the train returning from that city
had conversation with man who told
him that he was just returning from
Providence, where he had been to seek
employment; that he was machinest by
trade, and had applied to the American
Screw company for situation, but was
not successf ul in obtaining one. So
strongly was Downing impressed with
the recollection'that he referred to a little
memorandum book which he was in the
habit OF keeping while travelling, and as
| certained that the day he was in Provi,
dence was on the 10th of June, 1874, tho
same day on which Phair said that he
was there. Mr.. Downing says that in the
course of the conversation the man said
he came from Vermont. Downing being
native of that State asked from what
part, and was informed that the traveller
had come from Rutland, where he be
longed, the eprevious day. Downing then
said that said that he was convinced that
the man whom he met on the train on
the day above mentioned and the man
whose statement he had just read were
one and the same person, and at once
telegraphed the facts to Governor Fairs
banks, of Vermont, who happening to
be in the telegraph office sent an immedi<
ate reprievewhichr reached the condmned
manIonly twenty five minutes before the
time appointed for his execution.

PRUNING GRAPES

1t would Seem that sufficient has been
written on this subject, but from the
many inquiries l receive, and badly man
aged vineyards, and the great import
ance place on proper pruning, think
still more may profitably be said. 1t is
very easy matter to keep a vine in
proper shape if taken at time of plant.
ing; but not so with an old vine that has
been allowed to fruit out at the extreme
and every year as it is its nature to do,
and has no new wood within ten or fif-
teen feet of the root. | have a vineyard
OF i've hundreds vines, planted ten wears
ago on sandy soil, some of it SO poor it
would not produce fair crop of white
beans: bSt have had good crop Of grapes
every year since old enough to bear, and
OF a quality l have never seen excelled.
They have been pruned in the following
manner: First year after planting, wood
all cut back to two or three buds in the
fall, the following spring only two or
three of these were allowed to grow ac-
cording to strength of vine; the next
spring cut these back to two or three
feet from the ground. The next or third
year, allow two or three canes to grow as
soon as they start out. In the fall cut
off the old wood Tor :that pro luce the
year before. and head back the new
canes to five or six feet. At this age the
vine is old enough to produce full crop,
and from three to five canes may be al.
lowed to grow each year, always encour-
aging their growth from near the ground
and each year pruning off in the fall or
winter the wood that is two years old
and has borne fruit that year. Ny vines
that are ten years old have not more
than from one to two feet Of old God
on. L am fully convinced that this CO.
called renewal system is the best TO Get
grapes of extra quality, and to have
them ripen early and evenly l would
advise bringing old vines back to this
system. Although it may occasion the
loss OF one or two crops, the quality will
richly repay the loss. Some that thought
this system OF pruning not practicable
years ago now wish instruction how tc
get their vines in shape to produce
grapes OF good quality. N. Stearns, IN

A FIGHT WITHA WOLF.

Three young girls were minding a
flock of sheep few days ago at Vergt
(Dordogne), when large wolf sud-
denly appeared, and, separating some
of the sheep, drove them before it.
The cries of the girls irritated it, and
passing near one of them, Marie s., it
flew at her, knocked her Down and
tore her savagely. Her cheek and up
per lip were sadly injured. However
the dogs attackrd the animal and re-
leased the girl. The cries and bark
ing attracted the attention of a man
named Moreau, aged 55, who had for
merly been a soldier, and who, with
his daughter, girl of Is, was engaged
in cutting wood: He came out Of the
thicket to see what was the matter, and
found himself face to face with the
wolf, which Immediately sprang at his
throat. He had no weapon, SO he
clasped the animal round the body aud
they both fell together, rolling oyer
each other. After a protracted strug-
gle Moreau managed to get the beast
beneath him and hold it firmly by the
throat. He then shouted to his daugh-
ter. who came and despatchee the wolf
with blows from pickaxe. Moreau
was much exhausted by the fight, but
fortunately escaped with only wound
on the left hand. The animal was
found to measure metre and a hall
from the nose to the end of the tail.

The AnRora Goat.
ITS COMMERCIAL vALUE-FACTS FRoB
AN EXPERIENCED SOURCE.

ITS COMMERCIAL vALUE-FACTs FROM
AN ExPERIENcED SOURCE.
Mr. Richard Peters sends to an agricul-
tural exchange the following interesting
statement of the merits of the Angora
goat, which he has bred successfully for
some twenty-three years:
If not sooner sheared. the Angoras shed
their overcoat of "mohair" in March or
April of each year. Their winter coat
ing then grows slowly until about July,
when the "mohalr" starts and grows
rapidly until January, when it gains its
full length. The Angoras live to great
er age than Merino sheep and are more
prolific. / have three ewes in my flock,
numbered by the Randall system of
notches in the ears, so there can be no
mistake as to their identity.
Pure bred Angoras will yield from five
to eight pounds Of "mohair" per clip, with
one notable exception of ten pound
clip from celebrated no horned Costam-
boul buck, the property of Mr.. Landrum
of California, The general uniformity of
the yield is indicated by the fact that in
1854 sheared six and half pounds of
"mohair" from buck of the Davis i'm
portation, and in 1876 sheared exactly the
same quantity from one of his descend
ants.
The market value of mohair, like all
OGnOr COmm6TCldl COmluOuitlco, may Dc
expected to fluctuate in accordance in
with the laws of supply and demand.
But as the production is now, and for
many years must continue to be, unequal
to the demand, prices must remain at, or
approximate those now current. In the
meantime Improvement may reasonably
be expected in the yield, the quality and
its preparation for market, at an inap-
preciable increase Of cost. / have al
ready quoted it at from 80 cents to 81 per
pound, but the shrinkage in all values
within the last twelve months has affect
ed Ihohair also.
In California and other of the Pacific
States, large flocks of grade Angoras are
being bred for their skins. for which
there is an increasing demand at San
Jose, California, by the Angora robe,
glove and mat fattory. The carcass is
highly priced, wherever introduced as
food, while the milk is highly esteemed
for domestic use and the sick room.
Taken altogether, the Angora may be
regarded as avery valuable acquisition,
and an addition to the resources of our
usbandry-especially in the Middle,
South, Atlantic, Western and Pa ,ific
States. The great hardness and beauty
of the animal, its almost entire freedom
from disease, its self-sustaining qualities
and the repidity with which it multiplies
itself and grows, must make it univers-
al favorite.

PLANT GRAPE VINES.

1cannot too strongly urge farmers
and others to grow all the grapes that
their families can consume, at least,
and as many 10 sell as you please. What
is the use Of having, land and not
making use of it to the best advantage.
II every country family were TO have
all the grapes they could eat from
August to January, many OF the ply
sicians would be driven into the cities,
as it Is an admitted fact that grapes are
powerful curative of many diseases,
when eaten freely as long as they can
be kept fresh. If there be anything IN
this world to delight q family, as its
members walk in their garden, it is the
large. rich clusters of grapes that load
down an extensive arbor. A neglec-
Iedvine or two are of little value. What
you need is an an arbor from so to 100
feet long, over q walk with vines eight
feet apart on both sides or you can
have trellis eight or nine feet high
wherever you please. The posts
should be twelve feet loag and eight
feet apart. Then have stats 16 feet
long, about an inch and half wide.
nailed to the posts, beginning two feet
from the ground, and then placing
them eighteen inches apart to the tcp
Of the posts, or you can use wire in
stead of stats. One OF two years old
Concord vines can be bought for
twenty-five cents each, and from some
grape grow ers at II less price. If you
propose to wait till you can grow some
vines yourself from cuttings, go i'm
mediately to some neighbor who has
good grapes and get some cuttings, if
his vines were not closely pruned last
fall. They should be about foot long
and each should contain two or more
buds. Keep them in moist sand till
wanted to plant, then set them foot
apart, with the upper buds near the
surface of the ground. Set them at an
angle. SO that the earth can be pressed
veryhard around the lower buds. Place
smalls takes by the side OF each cut
ting to show where they are, and as
soon as the grass has grown high en-
ough to cut spread some lightly over
the cutting to protect the buds from
the sun when they begin to grow
freely. The next season these vines
may be transplanted where they are
TO grow. Cuttings clipped in Ncvem-
Der are best, but if cut now before the
sap flows | think they will grow.

Circular Letter Semitic the U. s. District
Attorneys Advising Economy.
By Telegraph to the GAZETTE.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April q.
The following important circular lette
has been sent to the U. S. District At
torneys, by the Attorney-General: :,
SIR As l enter upon my Official
duties find that the appropriation for
the expenses of the United States Courts
for this fiscal year is rapidly approaching
exhaustion. and that Congress has denied
all the applications that were made by my
predecessor for increased sum to bear
these expenses. The duty is thus forced
upon the officers of the departments to
retrench all possible expenses.
The circular further states that the at
torneys are in great degree responsible
for the expenses, and calls upon them to
stop all expenses that can be stopped
with propriety. Economy and caution
is urged upon them as full quarter of
the year still remains to be provided for,
during which time expenses must be kept
to minimum point.
1t still further urges that witnesses who
are important only be summoned,
and holding them as short time as posi-
BILE, and also dismiss the petit jurors at
early day as possible; and urging upon
the Grand Jury short session, selecting
from cases for the trial, those only the
best supported by evidence. The U. 8.
Commissioners must be watched, and
their expenses curtailed. Small cases
must he nostnoned and in every nossible
way economy must be forced upon the
officials. No money will be furnished to
marshals to conduct the business of the
Courts beyond the amounts of which
they were advised months ago.

Manacled Convicts In a Palace Car
From the Ne,u Orleans Democrat

Yesterday afternoon number of ladies
and gentlemen who had engaged passage
in Pullman car of the north bound
train of the Mobile road, were not a lit
tie surprised to find the car already part
ly occupied by nearly dozen persons
manaclsd and shackled, under the charge
of deputy United States Marshals, and
who, ,.they ascertained, after inquiry, were
convicts under sentence of the United
States Courts, and on their way to the
Moundville, Va, penitentiary, The train
was ON the point of starting, The con
ducter was sought and an explanation
asked. His reply was that there was no
remedy, inasmuch as the passage had
been engaged for the prisoner, and the
best that could be done was to put cur
tain between the convicts and the other
passengers.
After the detention for an hour another
Pullman car was coupled with the train,
and the convicts had the satisfaction of
avoiding the stare and other inconveni-
ences attending the presence of ordinary
passengers.
