her profession on coming to Nevada, and was
the first lady teacher who ever opened a
school on the Comstock besides organizing
the first Bible-class and teaching the first
Sabbath school in Virginia. Purmilah Fox
(her maiden nancy had hosts of friends among
the Comstock pioneers, whose sincere sympa
thies will go out to the bereaved ones. Her
first husband, c. B. Pratt, died few years
since at Dayton, in this State, and during a
portion of her widowhood she held position
az an adiuster in the Carson Mint, up to the
time of her marriage with Sprague c. Chase,
about three years since. Among the nearest
mourners of this estimable lady are widowed

whose griefs the many friends are earnest
sharers.

A Model LAWYER.

Squire johnson was a model lawyer, as the
following anecdote will show:
Jones rushed into the Squre's Office in q great
passion, and said:
THAT internal scOundrel of cobbler, Smith,
has sued me for five dollars l owe him for q pair
of boots"
'"TheD you owe him five dollars !"
"TO be sure do, but he's gone and sued me-
snel ME"
Then why don't You pay him, if you owe
hmf
because he's sued me, and when q man does
that I'll never pay till it costs him more than he
gets. l want you to make it cost him all you
can"
"But it will cost yon something, too"
81 don't care for that. What do you charge
to begin with 7"
'Ten dollars, and more if there's mnch extra
trouble"
"All right! There's the Y. Now go ahead"
No sooner was his client gone, than Squire
johnson stopped across to his neighbOr Smith,
and offered to pay the bill on condition that the
suit should be withdrawn. The shoemaker
gladly acceded--all he wanted was his pay. The
lawyer retained the other five for his fee, aud as
the case was not troublesome, he made no farther
demand upon his client.
Ten days after, Jones came to sec how his
was getting on.
"All right" said the lawyer; 'you won't have
any more trouble about that put it to Smith
50 strongly that be was glad to withdraw the
suit altogether"
Capital cried the exulting Jones. "You'ye
done it up brown! You shall have my business
hereafter"

years. and has never failed in effect"
Good things to have handy where there are
horses: White lead for bruises or breaks in skin,
saddle gals, etc. Bathing whisksy with about
9 o. hartshorn and little camphor, for sprzins,
stiffness, etc. Leaf lard for cuts. Coal oil ap-
piled to q light strain is also good.

THE CARE OF ORCHARDS.

Among the leaf eating enemies of the apple
tree, the canker-worm and the tent-caterpilla T
occupy the most prominent position, and do the
most destructive work. To grow good apples,
requires constant watchfulness on the part Of
the orchardist few days of neglect at certain
seasons of the year, not only ruins the crop, but
renders the orchard an unsightly object, and
permanently Injuries the trees.
Many orchards in the eastern portion of Mas
sachusetts, for want of little care, have been
entirely destroyed by the canker- worm.
Hens in an orchard will do much to destroy
the canker worm; if the worm has never found
Judgment, they will be very likely to keep them
out. Our orchard, although surrounded by or
chards that are infested by canker- worms, has
thus far been entirely free from the pest, which
we attribute mainly to the large flock of hens
we keep.
When the canker worm has Matched and TINS
taken possession of the orchard, it is very diff
fcult to destroy him. but if the trees are not too
den jar of the trte will cause them to drop to
the ground, always spinning thread as they
descend, which is attached to the tree, thus
giving them an opportunity to ascend the tree
again by the attached silken thread; but if a
flock OF hens are under the trees, they will make
short work of them, as they arc very fond of
them in this way, young orchards canbe en-
tirely freed, even after the worm Is nearly
grown.
The tent-caterpillar, although very dsstruct-
chardist will see to it that his trees are kept
free from this destructive and unsghtly pest.
The little worms when first Matched, make
their nests in the forks of the small limbs of the
trees, but when about two-thirds grown, they
leave their nests, and wander in different direc-
tons over the trees II taken when small aud
together in q compact mast, they are very east
ly destroyed, but If neglected until they CON-
mence to lead wandering life, il is very diff
cult to find and utterly destroy them.
After trying many methods, We have found
t he most effectual and the cheapest way TO be,
TO tie caterpillar brush on the end Of light
pole that is long enough to reach the upper
branches of the tree these brushes are of q
conical shape, aud can be bought for small
sum in the absence Of a brush q sponge may
he used fill pound tin preserve eau half full
of kerosene oil, dip the end of the brush OF
sponge into the oil and then run it through the
nest, giving it two or three turns, which will
remove the nest and destroy all of the worms
if the work is done when they are not more
than a week old.
Care should be taken to do the work when
the worms are in the nest, or the labor will be
lost early in the morning is the best time il
taken soon after sunrise, by looking toward the
sun, very small nests can be readily seen, es
pecially If the leaves of the trees are not full
sized.-lMassachHsett PloagkmaR.

The DIFFERENCE IN THE 7 IME OF GATHERING
FRUrrs.-Fruits gathered in the afternoon are
less acrid than when gathered in the morning,
because fruits are ripened by the conversion Of
the acid they contain into sugar, and, since this
requires the aid of light and heat, the interven-
ing hours between morning and afternoon pro-
duce the difference in their ripeness.
