Hints to Subscribers.

81. Always be careful to omit the name
Of the state from your address. The
publisher is supposed to know the state
in which every subscriber lives. 1t is
useful sometimes to sign your name, but
If the publisher does not recognize youl
handwriting and enter your name cor.
rectly at once, he ought to resign and
give way to some one who can. so
If you have torn Or doubtful bill
that you haven't the courage even
to put in the contribution box, send ii
along. The publisher has peculiar ia
cilities for selling defaccd currency and
counterfeit bills at a premium.
If for any reason you do not receive
your paper promptly, write hepublish-
or sharp letter. Call him swindler,
or some similar pleasant epithet. Tin
dicates true Christian forbearance on
your part and produces an agreeable
effect on him.
If you inclose (by mistake) q stamp
for reply, paste itcarefully and firmly on
the letter. The effort to remove with
out destroying is sure to make the pub
fisher Smile.
Be careful not to prepay your letter
It affords the publisher infinite delight
at cost of only six cents to send to the
Dead Letter Office for it, t.' 1'
If disposed to prepay at all, put on a
one cent stamp. This enables the pub
Usher to pay five cents more on receipt
of the letter, and his happiness will be
incomplete without it.
Always take it for granted that the
subscribers never make any mistake,
and that the publisher is responsible for
all errors and delays. b..
If mail car is destroyed BY fire
charge it on the publisher. If heavy
storm delays the train, charge it on the
publisher. If there is a miscarriage oil
any kind, charge it on the publisher.
And The severer the language used, the
greater the enjoyment. LgA
violation OF any of these rules by
some folks will cn1se great surprise to
publishers, and take away mitch OF their
pleasantest enjoyment.

for battle in heavy woods. The scenes
OF the previous day were re-cnaotod.
"The Bowl" was slain, and many Cher
okee and other Indians fell. The Tex
an loss was considerable. President
Burnett, Gen. Johnson, Col. Mcleod
and Maj. Kaufman afterwards our dis.
tinguished congressman were wounded.
The Indians were routed, and sought
shelter in the dense bottoms of the
Trinity. ........ ...... rs
And thus ended the last contest be-
tween the Texans and Indians in East
Texas. Tho power of the associate
bands was broken. Our volunteer
troops were disbanded, and the regulars
resumed their stations on the western
borders. "The Bowl" was succeeded
by his son, John Bowles, and The Egg,
both well known as leaders among their
people. With the remnant of the Cher
okees, and'someof the other tribes, they
,pent some months in the wilderness
aigher up the Trinity, while Il portion
IL their former followers took rcfug,
lmong their kindred west of Arkansas.
In the fall. John Bowles and The Egg
undertook to lead their followers into
Mexico, passing entirely above the set
.lements. But it 80 happened that Col.
Bnrleson was then on campaign
against the wild tribes, with % force OF
regulars and q few volunteers. He
struck the Cherokee trail, followed it.

victory fell with crushing force on tn,
remnant of the powerful bands who

and those left sought refuge also among

In thus hastily calling to mind these
decisive events, as an interesting chap
ter in our history, especially to our fel-
,ow-citizens of later day, it is proposed
10 say that they are written wholly from
memory, without access to any paper or
record to refresh the recollection. We
can not distinctly locate the fields OF

History paints Marshal New, Duke of

the great battles Of the Napoleonic era.
When the Emperor abdicated, Ney for

but when Bonaparte returned from FL

and was with him. to the last. When
the allies occupied Paris after Waterloo,
Ney was arraigned before the chamber
of peers on the charge of treason. He
was pronounced guilty, and was public

A few months after this execution, or

Rust on the Orange.

Professor Taylor, of Washington
has been making examinations regard
ing the rust on the orange tree and
fruit. Our readers will have seen
that rust on the tree, and rust on the
fruit have been strangely mixed up
in the different articles written. The
Washington Critic says:
The Florida Dispatch, paper in
which we find much valuable jnforma-
tion on the agricultural and fioit-grow-
ing interests of Florida, states that
cord'ng to the estimates of 'reliable
parties who have recently visited many
of the orange groves in east Florida"
the crop VIII be about fifteen per cen.
larger than that of last sea- N. It :;
stated, however, on the same authority,
that there will be more 'rusty" oranges
than ever before. The Dispatch has a
remark which implies that the rust is
caused by an insect, but this we suspect
is an error, if the thing meant is what
is known as orange-tree rust. This last
is attributed by Professor Taylor, micro
scopist of the Department of Agricul-
ture, to an excessive growth of wood,

We learn that on lnesday night
of last week two gin houses on the
plantation of Mr.. Jno. D. Branch,
some s miles from the city, together
with seventeen bales of cotton. were

The Agricultural Picnic.

On Thursday the 4th, inst, the
monthly meeting of the Orange Ridge
Agricultural Society was held at the
residence of Mr.. 3. f. Haines, Spring
Garden. The attendance was large,
comprising many Of the gentry OF
DeLand, Beresford and Spring Gar
den. Everything passed off in the
agreeable manner that has attended
all the picnic meetings OF the society.
The ladies contributed a sumptuous
dinner which was done full Justice
to, and then the company accompanied
Mr.. Haines around his grove and
premises. -Four years ago this place
was a pine forest and now there are
budded orange trees laden with their
golden frrit,- and younger trees in
thriving condition. All showing care

and method in their culture. Mr..
Haines pointed out the difference be-
tween one part of the grove that had
been planted out with raw muck
stirred in with the soil and another
part which had not got any muck at
the planting. The first were three
times larger than the others, although
planted at the same time, and the
trees of the same age. This showed
that the muck had influenced the
growth from the start and given the
trees an impetus which sent them far
ahead of the Others. Mr.. Haines is
now tertilizing with cotton seed at
the rate Of two quarts to the tree.
Another pleasing sight at this place
was an acre Of guinea grass SO tai
that people and stock were hid from
view when inside Of it. A very large
barn is now in course of erection to
hold the hay that is contemplated to
be made from the Guinea grass. AL
most every variety OF fruit that can
be procured may be seen growing on
this place, and no expense or labor
has been spared to give them iair
play, .ojudge of their capabilities. A
visit to Mr.. Haines' place will well
repay those who intend locating in
the State, and many good lesson to
help them on may be learned.
The company broke up late in the
afternoon much pleased with the in.
spection and noble reception they had
received.
The next meeting will be held on
the first Thursday in January, New
Years day, at the residence of DR.. M.
N. Voorhis, Beresford, where al in
terested are invited.
