During winter, oxen that work upon
the road ought to be shod. The cost
will be saved in the extra work done,
and freedom from injury by slipping.
The custom has usually been to prune
the grape in February, but We believe
it would be better if done earlier. The
excised portions should be cut up in
pieces from one to two, feet in length,
as the buds might be best adapted to
planting, tied in bundles of say one or
two dozen, and buried few inches
under the soil in location whence the
water would drain off, or under an open
shed. There they would keep fresh and
in full life until planting in the spring.
The vines should be cut loose from the
trellis and left to sprawl over the
ground, in which. position they will
stand the winter much better than if
left fastened to the trellis.

The NasiOnal Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint. Al
has it, and the result is that the number cf
pseudo.remedies for it is as numerous as
Pharaoh's host. They are for the most part
worthless. There is, however, searching
eradicant of this distressing and obdurate
malady, one whose genuine merits long
since raised it to foremost place among
the staple medicines of America. Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters extirpates dyspepsia
with greater certainty and promptitude than
any known remedy, and is a most genial
invigorant appetizer, and aid to secretion.
These are not empty assertions, as thousands
of our countrylnen and women who have
experienced it's effects are aware, but are
backed up by irrefragable proofs, repeatedly
laid before the public. fhe Bitters also
promote regular habit of body, and give
a healthful stimulus to the urinary organs.

Newspaper Management in France.

The management of newspapers here
and in France is very different. In
order to set up a journal there a
government warrant (breuet) is required
in advance, carrying at its minimum
twenty-five thousand francs (some five
thousand dollars), as caution money.
This is nominally held by the govern
ment, which in return subscribes to so
many copies, counting it as a kind of
equivalent. As may be seen, this is a
species of subvention or subsidy gener-
ated by imperialism, and still continued
by the republic, which fears to make
too many innovations upon established
custom in country composed of such
variety of political opinions. The press
of France, noticeably that of Paris, is
hardly what it has been. Freedom of
speech has run, in many cases, into
licentiousness, and liberty of discussion
into ribaldry and gross personal abuse.
Low-priced journalism has introduced
low morality and inferior talent. Still,
the Paris newspapers are gradually
working out of the slough of corruption
into which the Third Empire cast them.
All of them are not Figaros, Pays, and
Gaulois. There are also Temps and
Journals des Debdts. One of the great
editorial defects is want of supervision,
conference, or agreement as to what
shall be published. Each man, be he
leader-writer, correspondent, or re-
porter, says, as rule, what he likes or
believes for the moment. The conse-
quence is that the representative jour.
nal of the capital represents nothing but
the passions and prejudices OF each pen
man; and to form any idea of the policy
possible than it would have been t.
must be said that the Repubhgue Fran
caise, the principal Republican organ
and the journal of NJ. Gambetta, is no
open. a..

At the trial Morgan again deposed
that he had seen the murder committed.
The girl again swore to the concealing
of the money, and the constable proved
having found it according to her state
ment. T.- '-i
Harris had nothing to say except that
Morgan's evidence was entirely false,
that the cursed money was his own, put
away for better security. The judge
summed up; the jury found the prisoner
guilty and he was condemned to die.
Harris seems to have taken his SEN
tence meekly. He persisted in his inno-
cence, and only lamented the sordidness
of temper which, he said, had led him
into general distrustfulness, and into
such ways as this of hiding his money,
which had proved his ruin.

money in the garden, a fact which she

amount to considerable sum, when
they purposed to seize it and to decamp.
One day Harris and Morgan had a
bitter quarrel, and the master. struck
the man, whose sullen temper instantly
formed resolution to revenge himself.
At this crisis the blacksmith arrived.
The next morning Morgan himself found
him dead in his bed. With diabolical
inspiration he resolved to charge his
master with the murder, and to plundel
that masters hoard while he was in
prison, thus atonce gratifying his hatred
and his greed. OF this scheme he ap

Sheltering Orchards.-Among late
topics introduced in some of our agri-
cultural and horticultural contempo-
raries, is that orchards, to make them
productive, must be sheltered on at
winter. This shelter is to consist of
hedges of evergreen trees, and be of
sufficient height and density to make a
secure defense.
The thing, in our judgment, says the
Georgetown Telegraph, is fallacy.
Instead of proving advantageous to an
orchard, We believe a hedge, OF protec.
ton Of any kind, would be positive
injury. Planting apple orchards in
| valleys and southern exposures will not
as rule be as healthy or yield crops at
all to be compared to orchards planted
in elevated positions, opened to the
wind from every quarter. Indeed, if
we were about to set out an orchard to-
day, we should select a high northern
exposure. ALI our experience and OBJ
servation go to show such position to
be the best. Those about setting out
orchards the coming spring should
avoid what they will be likely to find a
serious error. 1t is a notorious fact
that, even in Maine and other extremely
cold States, northern exposures are
selected for apple orchards, where they
stand the severity of the climate much
better than in valleys, or where they
have southern exposures or are shell
tered. A Maine farmer says: o." Were
I to plant an orchard and had two loca
tions,. one a valley surrounded by hills
except on the south side, and the Other
high elevation, exposed to the cold
Winds would choose the latter il
preference to the former" The SAM
holds good as it regards peach orchards
A great object is to keep back th'
blooming as long as possible, and thi
can best be done in northern exposure
without shelter. I. -.l..i.. .af..
This, we think, will be found to b
the experience in the Middle, Northern
and Eastern States of many observin
apple-growers, There may be some ex
ceptions, it is true, but they are onl
the exceptions to the rule. l
