SHERRY and Connolly, Chicago murder
ers Of uncommon brutality, under SEN
tence OF death, we're strangely pitied by a
large number OF women. There was no
refinement about them personally, and
nothing romantic In their crime; yet the
respectable women who daily visited them
In prison show ID sympathy that amounted
almost to a mania. The supply of delica-
cies TO cat and drink was large and in
cluded the best wine and tobacco. Several
women kissed them at the last parting.

F. II. Elliot says, in the ohio Farm
er, on this subject: Many and various
views on this subject have been presen-
ted by those who have given their
record in the meetings of horticultural
and genealogical societies. The whole
question. however. rests i'll the facts
that the tree must have it's roots
in soil fitted To its wants, and where
there is an undercurrent of moisture
that can be taken up by the top or low
or roots in times of dry atmosphere and
lack of moisture upon the surface.
Again trees should not be situated in
low valleys, or any confined air space,
without an underground drainage. for
here the cold is Increased, and, added
to he moisture of the valleys, is often
five to seven or ten degrees of Fahren-
heit below that of the high ground sd-
joining Some OF the most valuable or
chsrds known stand on elevated situa-
tious. with what is generally termed a
thin, light, loamy soil. resting upon q
basis of rock. In such position the
trees do not grow as rapidly as in
deeper and richer soils. but they be-
come fruitful sooner, and continue a
long and productive life.
Thorough drainage in all cases is es-
sential to healthy growth of tree and
productiveness. Aspect is also mater

firm wooded varieties of apples, pears

to study the position whenever he in
tends to plant, and ere deciding upon
positions for certain trees, look over
the surrounding country and note the
success or failure of others who have
gone before him in the work. Accord
ing as this is adapted to the growsh
and character of tho variety planted

stimulate trees into growing too luxur-

The stan nard Murder Mysfery.

A New Haven Conn. dispatch states
that the friends Of Rev. Mr.. Hayden,
accused of the murder of Mary Stan
mad, seem to have been successful in
casting strong suspicion upon old
Benjamin Stevens, well-to-do but
dissipated farmer, who, for year or
two previous to the girls murder pass
cd a great deal of his time at her fathers
house, sleeping and eating there as ne
saw 1T. It is claimed that many facts
tend to connect Stevens with the mur'

fore the January term of court, as the
present term is nearly ended. An at

A Murderer's Suicide.

At Vincennes, Ind, last Wednesday,
French family named Vacelot, con-
sisting Of four persons, was found mur-
dered. A coroner's jury fixed the crime
on Pierre Pro ost, hired man, who
was accordingly arrested and lodged in
jail. This, coupled with apprehension
of lynching, seemingly proved too much
for Provost, for upon opening the Jail
Sunday morning he was found dead,
having hanged himself during the
night. This act seemed the more re-
markable as he has remained stolid
and immovable in his claim of limo
cence, and the overwhelming circuT
stantial evidence produced no visible
change in his demeanor.
