Nathan Demby's Deserts.

When James Hoaglaud, the negro
whom Nathan DENNY cut so severely
with razor Thursday night, walked up
in front Of the Mayor last evening to tes-
tify against his asa liant, his movements
were so inpeded by his wound that he
could not move either arms without DIFF
ticul'y. Hoagland's testimony was surict
ly in accurdauce with the account pub
lsboi IN this paper yesterday. Jesse
Brown the other victim OF The prisoners
.azOr corroborated Hoagland's evidence.
DENNY had but one witness, a young
white woman named Phoebe Ferreli,
who testified That she saw Brown cui
and that she saw crowd standi ng a.ound
with bricks in their hands.
In deciding the case, lhe Mavor said
"Demby, all punishment which is in
hicted upon you people for the carrying
and reckless use of ralors, seems to have
had no effect whatever, and have made
up my mind that those who Indulge in
the practiee shall be punished severely.
| do not Infict the punishment, bat !
can fix your bail SO hign that you cannot
secure it and will have to go to jail. l
shall, Therefore, hold you Ato court In
the sum of one thousand dollars"
1t is not likely that DENNY can furnish
bail.

Protection From Lightning,

A recent French journal announces
the discovery of an extremely simple
and cheap means to protect houses from
being struck by tightening. This con-
sists merely in bundles of straw attached
to sticks or broom-handles and placed on
the roofs of houses in an upright posi-
tion. The first trials of this simple ap-
paratus were made at Tarbes (Hautes
Pyrerees) by some intelligent agricul-
turists, and the results were so satisfacto-
ry that soon afterwards eighteen COM
munes of the Tabes district provided all
their houses with these bundles Of straw,
and there have been no accidents from
lightning since in the district.

English Cattle Emb.rxoe,

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Collec-
tors of Customs at border ports have been
notified by the Government that the i'm
portation Of neat cattle from England is
absolutely prohibited by law. 1t is stated
that neat cattle have been imported into
Canada from England and thence shipped
to the United States. Collectors are
therefore instructed not to admit any
neat cattle from Canada unless it IL
shown that they were not imported di-
rectly Or indirectly from England, and
that if imported from England they did
not arrive i'll Canada within ninety days
prior to their arrival at any port of entry.
In no case shall The cattle be admitted il
there is any reason to believe they are

Items for Fruit Growers.

iatrick Barry, Esq, the veteran pomo-
ioglst, thinks that there is no danger OF
apple culture being overdone in Western
New York, always provided it be well
done.
In the Netherlands and Holland
iruit trees are not nailed to the walls
put tied to rods, planted and fixed q
short distance from the wall, with i'm
mense benefit to the growers.
A Buffalo gardner has observed new
enemy to the Cooling moth, the foe of
apple growers. 1t is a black beetle
which eats the caterpillar and destroys
the clrysalis of the Cooling moth.
Mr.. S. Miller, the veteran fruit grower
OF Missouri, notes, as a curious fact,
that Strawberries in mass will bloom
earlier than the same varieties in stools
on the same ground but a few yards
away"
$50 slow on the new varieties, "is Mr.. J.
Nj. Smiths advice, and his long expert
ence a, one of the most successful mar
ket-gardners and fruit growers in the
Great West should give him privilege of
speech.
The "curl"i is said to have made its ap-
pearance upon the leaves of the peach
trees in Amador Co., California. We
presume that sooner or later that won
derful fruit country will import all the
i'll trees are heir to.
The largest strawberry farm in the
world is probably that of John X. Yourg,
Jr., about two miles from Norfolk, Va.
1t comprises about 250 acres. The yield
last year was 1000 quarts to the acre,
and it is expected that the product will
be much larger this season.
Among the curiosities of grating by
the anclents, Pliny gives graphic ac-
count of grated tree which was cover
ed with all kinds of fruits, nuts berries,
grapes, pears, figs, and pomegranates,
but the tree did not live long. 1t is to
be supposed that some of the gratis liv-
ed still shorter time.
The yield of small fruits is estimated
by Mr.. Chas. A. Green, in the Proceed
iDgs of the Western New York Horti-
cultural Society as follows: For straw
berries, 800 bushel per acre a possible,
and two hundred not an extraordinary
yield. For raspberries, 100 bushels a
satisfactory yield, although often above
the average. -1foore's Rural Life.

Within the last two or three days We
have seen enumerated in ono Of. our ex-
change papers q list, covering several
long columns of our defaulted railroads.
The amount of capital therein invested.
much of which has been irretrievably
lost, il fearful TO contemplate. It demon
strates very fully the difficulty of safe apd
profitable investment of money. The
experience of the last three or four years
in placing money, either temporary or
permanently, has fully demonstrated the
fact that far more knowledge Of The gen.
eral situation of business afiairs and the
exercise of more judgment and discretton
Is requisite than is generally snppoeed. ~
We have never known time when this
difficulty of investment was greater than
just now. The banks, the savings funds,
the trust companies and individual capi-
talists are all in q great bother to place
their cash 20 as to make it pay something
In the shape of interest and at the same
time hold the principal sale. The Bos-
ton Adpertiser some m0Dths since gave
ont some Wholesome suggestions on this
subject, showing that not only are present
values to be kept 10 view, bu', what Is of
far greater consequence, the successful
investor must be able TO forecast with
tolerable accuracy the prospective value
OF whatever he may put his money ip-
to.
Present values may be epherne eral, but
they are easily sscertained; but prospec-
tive values are affected by so many con-
siderations and by so many undeyeloped
conditions as to give wide field for the
exercise OF good Judgment. With many
the idea prevails that if given piece Of
property can be purchased for much less
than it cost it must be good Investment.
A man may fatter himself that he has
made an excellent investment when he
buys block of buildings OF piece of
land which cost hundred thousand dol
lars for sew ty-five thousand, but it ty
no means follows that he has done SO
just because be has bought it SO cheaply.
The property is valuable or the reverse,
al the lime he buys l., without any re-
gard to the original cost whatever. III
fact, the former cost of any piece of pro
perty is one of the most illusivs among
the many misleading ideas a. TO what
constitutes a good investment. A little
reflection will show that there is q, deep
and wide gulf between present value and
past cost. - q. sum

What Three Kisses Cost.

He was a dentist and she daughter
of wealthy parents, accomplished and
irresistible from all that luxury, culture
and travel in foreign climes confer. He
was treating tender flaw in two or three
of her brilliant and pearly teeth, and
when he had her mouth filled with wax
and her lovely arms pinioued fast in the
chair, lest she might struggle when the
cruel steel struck suddenly on a delicate
nerve, she looked so sweet and tempting
that a sudden temptation overcame him
and he stopped suddenly and imprinted
three kisses on her lovely lips. Then he
completed his work and in due time sent
in his bill. The young lady is phi
losopher as well as syren, and was pre-
pared to settle TN short notice. She, too
had bill to render, which does ample
credit to the woman's wit. Here is the
bill -

A HORSE KILLED.

Late last night young man named
Turner, while driving around
the corner of Tenth and French sire It's,
ran into pile OF ston.s lying along the
street, Which caused the horse to fall
down, and u, set the carriage. Mr.. Tur-
ner and his companion, a Young lady,
we're thrown out, but unfortunately sus-
tanned no serious injury, but the horses
neck was broken by the fall, causing in
slant death. The team was the property
of Thos. Fagan, proprietor Of S rrel
Horse Hotel, on West Front street, be-
tween Ship ey and Orange.
Some new bull ings are being con-
structed at 7, nth and French streets, by
j. T. Cause, for which the stones were
piled up along the street. The law how
ever, requires those obstructiny the
streets by building operations to desig-
nate The distractions at nights by red
light, and had this requirement been
complied with, this acci .ent would
doubtless not have happened.
1t Is understood that the work of put
ting up the buildings mad been commenc.
ed without building permit, and that q
permit was not taken ont until this
morning. The neglect In these two par
ticulars will, of course, make the owner.

gan's ss. He values the horse at SIT;
aud says the carriage is damaged to ths

and works at Edgmoor. His father is &
citizen of Stanton.
