Oil for Pear BLIGHT,

Mr.. d. P. Wescott, Rochester, N. Y, is re-
trees affected with blight, and with such uni
form success that he is thoroughly convinced
that it is remedy. But he does not simply
pour on the oil or wash the trees with it, but
takes paint brush and thoroughly works
the oil into the pores of the bark, believing
that it is the closing of the pores, arresting
the circulation, that causes the blight. He
had but one tree attacked last year, and the
prompt and vigorous applications of the oil
cured It.

the Yates horseshoe, constructed Of cowhide.
It is composed of three thicknesses OF cowhlde
compressed into steel mould and then SUBJ
jected to chemical preparation. Its claimed
for it that it lasts longer and weighs only one.
fourth as much as the common iron shoe; that
it will never cause the hoof to split nor have
the least Injurious influence on the foot. 1t
requires no calks; even on asphalt the horse
never clips. The shoe is 80 elastic that the
horses step is lighter and surer. 1t adheres so
closely to the foot that neither dust nor water
can penetrate between the shoe and hoot., II
all that is claimed for it be true. the new hide
shoe will prove great improvement upon the
old. The idea, however, is by no means new
one. At the time of the Roman and Cartha'
giuiau wars it was a frequent. practice among
the cavalry officers to bind the feet OF their
horses with raw oowhide to protect them from
injury during an engagement. The inventor
OF the new shoe. Mr.. Yates, of Manchester,

A Stolen Boat.

Says the Milford Nelrs:
On Monday last very pretty clipper
built, sloop yacht arrived at this port in
charge of two men, who seemed to be
pretty hard up for money, and were very
anxious to sell the yacht
Later in the day, however, a letter
came to the police Of Milford, announcing
the fact that such a boat had been stolen
from Booth Bay, way down in Maine,
and asking the police to look out for
such vessel. As the description in the
letter was not sufficiently satisfactory on
some points, telegram was sent to the
party in Maine who had written the let
ter, but before the answer came it was
Tuesday, and the thieves becoming un-
easy, had sailed off down the river with
the view of escaping. Constable Hallet,
Bailiff Moore and posse started after
them and they succeeded in heading
them off, but on the approach of the Off
GERS the thieves abandoned the vessel
and fed. The officers secured the vessel
and brought up to the town.
On Thursday G. B. Kenniston,a a magis-
trate from Maine, arrived here and
stated that the yacht belonged to two
young men of his town, and that she had
been stolen on the 8th of April, by two
notorious Jail birds, who had broke jail
and seized the boat to aid them in max
ing their escape. Their names are James
NJ. Corbit and Charles +. Taylor. The
Sheriff of the county from which they
escaped In Maine, is in our State, and
will ask a requisition from the Governor
to return them to Maine provided they
are captured. A reward of $4,000 has
been offered for their capture.

The Test Of Plugs.
THE TRIPLE PLUGS A UCCEss-THREE
ATTACHMENTS AND FOUR STREAMS.

THE TRIPLE PLUGS A UCCEss-THREE
ATTACHMENTS AND FOUR STREAMS.
The test of the triple outlet plugs under
direction of the Chief Engineer of the
Fire Department took place Saturday
afternoon shortly after 6 o'clock. The
plug selected was the one at the corner
of Fifth and Church streets, and the
engines engaged in the test were the
Water Witch, Delaware and Washing
ton. The trial was success in every
particular, and fully demonstrated that
the plugs would afford sufficient water at
a fire TO supply three engines.
The Delaware attached to the main
outlet, and the other two steamers took
the sides. The Water Witch and Wash
ington used Ii inch noZZles and the Della
ware 4 inch. In five minutes after the
fires had been lighted the steamers blew
their whistles, and in minutes the Water
Witch and Delaware started up, and was
followed by the Washington in 2 minu.
tes afterward. The Chief Engineer then
turned on the water, and the engines
commenced pumping. In starting, the
Water Witch had 60 pounds ofsteam and
80 pounds of water pressure, the Della
ware IS pounds of steam, and 140 pounds
of water pressure, the Washington, &c
pounds of steam and 125 pounds of water
pressure.
There was no difficulty in obtain
ing water and the streams thrown by
each of the engines were q solid body OF
water, and in height would have reached
the top of the Clayton House, especially
the one by the Water Witch. After run.
ming short time the Chief ordered them
to shut down, and the Water Witch put
on another stream making two. There
were now four streams, and the volume
of water was not decreased from any OF
the engines. When the streams shut
down the Water Witch had 120 pound.
of steam, and 265 pounds of water pres
sure the Delaware 100 pounds of steam
and 40 pounds pressure; the Washing
ton 100 pounds of steam and 12O pounds
pressure,
