many of the Instances sound so witty or 50

But we inrycr saw one cited so unlikely

GOVERNORS MESSAGE

WELCOME you to the field of your arduous
labors An appreciative and intelligent con-
stituency, whose voice you will speak on the
important questions which will come before
You, will anxiously await the results. The
provisions of the constitution limit and re-
strict the powers of the Legislature. The great
object has been to restrict legislative action,
unless it can be general and not special Hence
local and special legislation has been prohibit
ed. IL statutory enactment shall be bene-
fetal to the people of this county, it is pre-
sumed it will be beneficial to all the people of
this State. There has been great change in
public opinion on this subject within my rec
objection. In former years it was said that
people would not invest their money in manu-
featuring and other enterprises, unless those
engaging in the business could obtain n special
charter of Incorporation; and when a general
law was advocated, in order to dispense with
such special legislation, it was argued no one
would risk his capital when the general law
was subject to change or repeal by subse-
quent Legislature. Those urging such obiec-
tions to general laws for interpretations had
little or no faith in the capacity of the peo-
pie to govern themselves. Special laws ere
ating corporations are prohbitcd and in those
states whose constitutions on that subject are
similar to our own, many corporations exist
formed under general law. So incorpora-
tions under the general law are created every
day in the State. | refer to those provisions
of our constitution which prohibit local and
special legislation, so that the general assem-
bly,, as well as the chief executive of this State
may not, in the great desire to serve the peo-
pie be unmindful of these salutary provis-
ions. The Governor is required, at the COM
mencement of each session of the general as
sembly, to give information of the condition
of the affairs of the State. The condition of
the treasury is subject of grave Importance
and hence speak of it first.

The Bearing Year OF Apple Trees

1. j. Blackwell in Rural New Yorker.
There is good deal said and written
about changing the bearing year of ap.
pie trees. After a number of years of OBJ
servation, believe that it is best to take
the fruit when we can get it. There may
be some phiIosophic reasons for trying to
change the bearingyear ofyoung orchards,
and good results may follow the attempt,
but when an orchard gets of considerable
size, the labor and the uncertainty of the
results OF such an undertaking place the
matter in an uniavurable light, We have
an old orchard OF about fifty trees, all Of
which used to bear the same, until there
came frost or cold wind that killed all
the blossoms except those on few trees
that were sheltered by the building. Ever
since, some trees in the orchard have
borne on the odd years, and the remain
der on the even years. This year, how
ever, the fruit crop was a general fail
ure.
also notice that trees of certain varie-
ties among those whose bearing year has
been altered, for some unaccountable
cause have tendency to get back to the
year on which they originally bore fruit.
Baldwins have been noted as bearers on
even years for long time; the Smiths
cider has had the same tendency to bear
on the odd year, and, taking into consid-
Grafton the great range Of country where
this apple comes to perfection, | think
that the question of bearing years will
soon be settled by the orchardists select
ing varieties whose natural habit Is TO
bear on the even or odd year, as may be
desired. Bucks County, Pa, the home Of
the cider apple, was well supplied with
apples last year; whereas, this year there
are very few. think that Is per cent Of
all the trees set in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey are of this variety, and for years il
has been scarce in the nurseries Out Of
1900 trees in our orchard 800 are Of this
sort. know orchards In which ninety
out of every 100 trees are Of this single
variety, | believe that the cider apple
could not be treated so as to bear perman-
emily on even years; nor, IN my opinion,
can the bearing year Of any other variety
be permanently changed from the year on
which it was originally accustomed to
bear. Last year hundreds Of barrels Of
apples were shipped from this section TO
England; this year Trenton is supplied
from New York and Philadelphia,

oswcgo tRan.) Cor. Of the lndianapoi, Sentinel.
There died one day last week, in this
vicinity, an aged and eccentric man named
ALVIN Harrison. In lSi0 he was prom.
ising Young lawyer of Ros, county, Ohio.
and stumpcd the State in the interest of
Lis cousin, "Old Tippccnoe." Several
years thereafter he quit the practice of
law and took up the study of medicine.
Later on he b'ctmc engaged to young
lady, and at last the happy day was fixed
for the celebration Of this marriage. But
before the arrival of the cventtul day the
young lady clopcd with Il stage driver,
. leaving Mr.. Harrison to mourn her sud
den and unexpected departure, This in
cidant so diSgustcd Mr. Harrison with the
tickcneSs OF human nature and ciyilza
ton in general that he turned his back up
on the world, prelcrring a home in the
trackess wilderness and barren prairies to
one in the busy haunts Of refined life,
Some fourteen years ago he built him il
log cabin and took up his abode in the
NcOsho bottoms some three miles from
town. His nearest ncighbor at that time
vas miles away. He lived alone, and
sub istcd on Il Scanty and mwholesome
diet of spoiled bacon. The cabin was OPP
en- and uncomfortable, while he was con.
tent with Il simple pallet OF straw. He
drove team, poor bony and dilapidated
as himself, half starved and clothed in
rope and string harness. He had an in
teligent expression of Countcnance, but
went about scarcely clad in rags and
patches of the coarser fabrics; yet in the
midst of filth and rags he was recognized
as Il man Of abOYe average sense and cdu
catiOnal culture, which always brought
him respectable Difference from all. 1t Is
said that aside from his property here
which consists of 320 acres of good land
and some personal property, he owned
valuable property in Ohio.
Some years since his brothers came to
soc him and endeavored TO get him to
abandon his isolated existence. but all in
vain, for he remained alone till the last
When it was found that he was sick, the
kind ncghborS tlOcked in and did all in
their power to alleviate his suffering, but
all of no avail. After his death il box con-
tanning silver and bank notes, deeds, mort
cages, etc, was found and is now in the
hands of responsible parties. Quite
number Of standard works on medicine
and law were also found. Among his
effects was letter, purpOrtinQ to be from
his niece, directed to him at lola, and
dated 1863. In it several family names
are mention, which may serve as u clue
to the whereabouts of his relatives that are

joining one of the lofty walls of the old
castle Through this no human being
could gain ml entrance; but 1t was enter
ed by monkey, which came to it in this
way. One of the pilot boats was taking
off pilot to ship, TO relieve the one on
duty, when the monkey, sick, suppose,
of the sea, and determined not TO lose the
opportunity, jumped into the boat and on
nearing the shore jumped out again and
sought the nearest shelter, which happen
ed to be the old castle. The ship was
from the West Indies, laden with sugar.
The monkey, though missed from the
homeward.bound, was unnoticed by the
pilot crew, and finding his way from the
castle to the ventiator of the adjoining
dwelling house pantry, sought to allay his
hunger there when all was quiet at night.
BY day the creature lay hidden in the old
castle; and 1t was only after u lapse of
many days and nights that poor Jocko was
discovered peeping out from his lodging i'll

First Judge.

The first United States Judge that held
office in New York was Brockholst Liv.
ingston, who was in service from 1906 tc
1898. He was the only Judge in the re-
cords of this city that had fought due
and killed his man. For this his whole sub,
sequent life was a long repentance, but he
only obeyed that false code Of honor which
then held sway. Livingston was succeed
ed by Smith Thompson, after whom cam,
Judge Nelson, who was on the bench al
most fifty years. Some very interesting
facts might be mentioned in reference e
these distinguished jurists, who certainly
were an honor to the bench and the city
