would avoid suddenly cooling the body
after great exertion, if they would be care
full not to go with wet clothing and wet
feet, and if they would not over.eat when
in that exhausted condition, and bathe

Peahes in the North,

A correspondent of the New York Herald
writing from Kingston, that State, gives
the following particulars about peach grow
ing in his neighborhood. The item will no
doubt be of interest to fruit growers of this
Peninsula.
"The outlook for q prolific yield of
peaches is unprecedented. During the
past three years growers have had the
'peach fever" Enormous numbers of trees
have been planted this spring. In Marl
borough 100000 trees have been planted
this season. At Plattekill, Cornwall, Mode
ma, Esopus, Milton, Highland, Lattintown,
and other points, horticulturists are en-
gaging extensively in the peach culture.
The same statement in limited degree, is
| applicable to the fruit growers districts on
| the eastern shores A careful estimate
shows that about twenty.eight hundred
thousand peach trees have been planted
this spring in the localities named. Last
year ,250,000 were planted. During 1877
about half a million were set out. This
year they will have full crop for the first
time. The principal varieties grown are
Smocks, Crawford's Late, Crawford's Early
Stump the World, Old Nixon, besides
about thirty other varieties. The Hudson
River peach, especially those grown il
| COuGueIIl OlSbVlg nave q lleAfOA ulio hutilSo'
of fibre superior to the New Jersey anC
Delaware products. They are much large
in size, have better color and will remain
fine and sound much longer period thar
peaches shipped from the South, Delawar
and Jersey. The high prices for whicl
peaches sold in the New York market il
1877 and 1873, grown on the western shor
of the Hudson, no doubt has caused tin
mania for peach growing in that district
The peaches are generally shipped in hal
bushel baskets. Late varieties sold as hig
as $40 per bushel in New York in the ia
of 1878. Early peaches realized from seventy
FIVE cents to So per bushel. Peaches fror
Dutchess county sold and commanded r.
munerative rates. The late varieties d
not mature until after the Southern, Del
ware and Jersey crops are marketed. Tn
:. fact, in conjunction with the fine AavC
and .solidity of the river peach, accoun
for the large prices received"

1t is we'll known that horses and oxen
sleep standing, and it is also known that
some horses never lie down when well. 1t
is a common belief, too, that when horse
lies down in the day time he is sick. But
this is not always so, as we have known
horses to do this habitually. A horse is a
helpless animal when lying down, and
frequently Injuries himself in getting up,
and especially when the flooring is wet.
Smyrna times., 1879-06-18

1t is said that if chickens are allowed to
run in the orchards the prospects for good
crop are made better. The insects have
more to do with weakening the trees and
emasculating the fruit than many have the
least idea of. All of these more or less in.
habit the ground, and in all stages are sub
jected to the searching eye of the fowl.

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes crop re-
ports from large number of places in
Ohio and Indiana, showing that the acreage
of wheat is ten to twenty-five per cent.

good condition. Oats look well, and the
usual amount of corn will be planted. The
season is backward for all spring crops.

A farmer who treats his land we'll and is
truly diligent and painstaking in all things
need never complain. He is sure of a
comfortable living, and in prosperous times
he can accumulate. His farm once paid
for, even though it be small, is, if properly
managed and kept up, a mine in itself,
from which he can always dig the precious
metal. The matter of the very first i'm
portance is that the land should be well
fed

OvERLoADING THE SToMACH.-I wish you
would have n. II. Paaren give the proper
treatment for a horse that has accidentally
got chance to eat all the grain it wants; l
had one to get to bin of shelled corn the
other night, but did not hurt herself; if
she had, | would not have known what to
do. Under circumstances related, it would
be proper to administer, with as little delay
as possible, aromatic stimulants and tonics,
in repeated doses such as the following {:
Take one ounce each of the aromatic spirit
of ammonia, tincture of Jamaca ginger,
and compound tincture Of gentian; mix,
and give such a dose, mixed with half a
pint of water, according to the urgency Of
| the case, every hour, or every two hours.
| Apply smart frictions with straw or stiff
brushes over the whole Abdominal surface,
| during twenty minutes, every hour. Give
| injuctions per rectum, of lukewarm salt
water, not to exceed two quarts, every
hour; and keep the horse in motion during
the intervals between carrying out the
| above directions; but under no circum-
stances should be moved faster than brisk
walk. If the horse wants to drink, let him
have, not to exceed half gallon at time,
of linseed tea. Then, in the course of
three to six hours, if all severe symptoms
are overcome, the above medicine should
be discontinued, and instead thereof nj y
be given some simple tonic. such as an
ounce of tincture of gentian in half pint
Of cold water, which may be repeated every
four hours during a day or two. The food
should be given in small and gradually in.
creased quanty, aud the first few rations
should consist of bran mashes.

Queen Vic's Privacy.

Is it not possible that not unnatural
inclination on the part of the queen to
guard against exhibitions of snobbery
may be carried too far? am told that
when Her Majesty passed through Ports
mouth the other day on her return from
the continent, the whole resources of the
dockyard establishment were concen,
trated upon the enterprise of preventing
common eyes from gazing even for a
moment upon Her Majesty. Orders
carefully written out on large foolscap
reached the dockyard from the admir-
atty, directing that no person other than
the select few officially engaged should,
upon any pretense whatever, be allowed
even to approach the railway jetty where
the queen would disembark. The adj
miral superintendent, improving upon
these instructions, issued directions to
the master.rigger to prevent any of his
men assembling at the windows of the
rigging loft. The keen eye of the ad-
miral superintendent had also taken
note Of the advantages supplied by the
color-loft Of permitting In undisturbed
view of the top of the railway carriage
in which the queen would ride. Strict
orders were accordingly issued to prevent
the women in the color-loft from assem-
bling at this highly-f favored point of
view. That nothing might be wanting
to the completeness of the arrangements,
similar precautions were taken in respect
to the storehouse near the jetty and OF
the Offices abutting thereon, storm sig
nal having been sent round in the morn
ing solemnly warning all men from ap-
preaching the windows. This paragraph,
feel it necessary to state, is not joke.
It is simple statement of fact.-London

1t is not surprising that a paper,
issued under such ptivations and
hardships, should have made such q
noise in the country as had never before
been known. It was denounced every
where, and in some southern states 1t
was made crime to circulate it. Its
publisher was sc veral times mobbed in
staid New England, and came near los
ing bis life, but he faltered not; the fire
which he had kindled spread over the
country; he began to be respected for
his courage and the purity of his pur-
pose; his influence grew; his name was
waited across the seas, and he received
encouraging words from such men as
Wilberforce ana George Thompson. The
great cause which he began amid so
much obloquy he lived to see led by the
greatest men Of the nation, and ultimately
triumphant throughout the entire land.
There is no question that Garrison was
the purest and most unselfish Of all the
great leaders of the anti-slavery
cause. The work was with him cne
of principle, and not of homo,
and emolument, as it was with many Of
his contemporaries. Like many another
leader in the war for principle, he wa
gentle and genial in his manners, ane
the farthest removed from anything lik'
hardness and severity. His was tn
courage and persistence born of pro
found conviction, and while he was no
without his faults, his career is full O
incentive to his countrymen to a NOR
thorough devotion to principle.
Mr.. Garrison married Helen Eliz
Benson in 1884, and she proved com
panion in all respects worthy Of him
bravely seconding his philanthropy
efforts and displaying SIS much courag
and devotion to principle as he. So
died in 1876. Three sons and one daugh
ter survive, to enjoy the heritage of al
honored and historic name.
