1t appears from the opening of Mr. Prllsbury that
the defendant is the plaintiffs son, aud that she
entrusted the bonds to him for safe keeping. AT
forwards when she became feeble in mind and
body aud needed means for her support she de
handed the bonds, aud the defendant refused to
give them up. The excuse the defendant gave
was that he would not allow " old Msrston," the

but wa, Wiling hi, N other should have them. 1t

press the earth around them with

In Sicily where land Is dear and
labor 50 cheap that all the working
is done with the hoe, the scIons are
set from eighteen 10 twenty inches
apart each way but where these
conditions are reversed it IS deemed
better to allow greater distances
both for facility Of cultivation with
the plough, and for free ADMISSION
Of air and sun.
CULTIVATION.
IN cultivating sumac the ann Is
to keep the soil light, p~ermeable,
and free from grass and weeds, and
the surface so disposed as to prevent
any standing Of water near tie
plants. The frequency of the work
ings then, will depend upon the
nature of the soil, and its readiness
to put up weeds and grass. In
Sicily six hoeings are given the 1lrst
! wear. IN addition to that of Decem-
Der, or january, when the plants
are set. The first of these SIX oc-
curs usually in February, and the
second in April. Both are deep
and thorough. The third, which
takes place in May, is moderately
deep land the three others, occur
ring from June to September, arc
superficial, being intended only tc
kill grass. Thus is completed the
first year. For the second, and
subsequent years, the first working
is given in December in January;
the second in March, and the third
and last IN May. BY this time III
the grass seed in the soil will have

veoctated and been killed, and the
hoe.ngs hitherto given for its des-
struction will no longer be neces-
sary.
During the winter, or rainy
months, the surface is kept in
ridges. In summer it is kept level
or even. At the first working Of
the second yea al missing places
are replanted. Care must now be
taken, as 1T first, to set only the
best scions. If after they have been
selected with care, and only those
of known good quality planted,
there should, nevertheless, be found
much need of replanting, it would
be well to examine the subsoil.
which would likely be found hard
and impermeable, or clayey so as to
prevent the ready escape OF water
from the roots. In this case it
would be best to move the planta-
ton and to prevent the disap-
polntment consequent upon such a
failure, thorough examination of
the snbsoll should be made before
