Winter Protection.
BY SAMUEL PARSONS.

Teis important and oft-explained
precautiOn, that demands attention
yearly, may seem TO the more ex-
perienced too trite to afford much
interest even at this season of the
year. But it should be remember
ed that all are not experts and that
with all due respects to superior
knowledge, even experts may catch
slight suggestion of value from
the recorded experience and meth
DDS Of others. We apprehend, how
ever, that the principles, on which
secure protection is based, remain
much the same everywhere-the
only variation consisting in certain
changes of methods that adapt them
to any peculiar circumstances. The
following remarks will suffice to in
dictate the processes that have with
US proved most successful:
THE PROPER SEASON FOR APPLYING
WINTER PROTECTION.
A strong temptation to cover up
plants for winter, presents i.self to
the inexperienced during the first
cold snaps Of November. The
ground is firmly frozen, and now it
seems natural TO suppose the time
for winter covering has arrived
But there never was a greater mis-
take. Such early spells of cold us
ually last but short time, and
may be succeeded by much warm
weather. thus exciting the sap of
plant under cover, and thersby ex.
posing it to injury from a succeed
ing heavy frost. The hardening off
process is as necessary to tine plant
in the open ground, as under prop
er system Of green house culture.
Several really cold periods in early
winter, brought to bear on the un-
covered plant. serve to prepare and
adapt it for the endurance Of subse-
quent hardships. Little injury, |
moreover, occurs from cold in De-
cember, to any tolerably hardy |
plant. 1t is the proper season Of
rest, and the diminished power of
the sun works the less damages,
because dawn and midday preseats
no such violent contrasts OF temper
allure as are wont to appear in early
spring. A large majority Of all

The new list advancing nails to s. IS was
not sent out by the manufacturers of Pitts
burgl, and the Shenango Valley, until the
dealers Of that section were selling atthe
new rates. Some Of the Pittsburgh dai-
lies appear to be disgruntled over the
declination Of the Wheeling mills to re-
spond to Pittsburgh's invitation to advance
the price to the figures named, but 1t
seems to be the general opinion Of
manufacturers here that the price could
not be sustained, and although they
would be glad to get the advance, they do
not feel disposed to risk the inconveni-
cuces likely to result from adopting the
Pittsburgh list at this time. The intima-
ton that the difference is met by making
better nails than Wheeling is turning out,
will hardlypass muster with the tradethat
has generally preferred our product 10
any other at the same figures.

Correspondents OithO GntslliEausSr.
The Teachers Institute for this county
commenced on Monday last, at Fairview.
Prof. Bundy, OF Wheeling, Is conducting
It, and his method Of instructlng is meet.
ing with great favor among the teachers.
So far he has been very successful, and
has made the Institute to be looked upon
as something more than mere bore,
which too frequently has been the case.
Some interest is being manifested over the
coming school election, and no few criti-
cisms are heard concerning parts Of the
amended school law.
In country districts, like ours, the
school board must be so selected as 10 rep
resent the several schools in that district,
and, as the new law says that three per-
sons must select the teachers, in most
cases the selection by such Board dis.
pleases the people. The old law, allowing
tho Trustees to appoint the teachers, was
much better, as they lived in the neiVh-
borhood OF the school and could thus find
out what one would be acceptable TO the
people, for with their i'll viii mo- teacher her
can successfully instruct his school.
That part Of the school law looking to-
ward the reduction in the prices Of books
meets with great favor, as It will save a
the State.
Business here is briskor than usual at
this time OF the year, and an advance in the
price Of fire brick Is looked for, which will
help times materially in these parts.
As usual, little scandals are flying
around, and ayoung gentleman ofmedium
character is the object Of persecution. A
penkniie trade with another young fellow
was the origin Of 1t, and finally It has
transpired what the true inwardness'
oil the case is. DENTE.
