Justice Paxson, in the supreme court,
has rendered a decision affirming the de-
cree of the court of common pleas, No. l.,
in the matter of DR.. Rush's bequest to the
Philadelphia library, thus sustaining the
bequest.
In Monongahela local option prevails, so
the tipplers betake themselves to Temper
anceville, across the river. The local op-
tiOn people are so incensed at the subter-
fuge that one tavern was burned early
yesterday morning and two saloons set on
fire.
Rev. Isaac Price, the oldest postmaster
in the United States. has rendered his re-
signation from the Schuylkill Office, loca-

Chester county. He was appointed in 1882,
when General Jackson was president,
and held the position ever since.
A tramp went into the press room of the
Altoona Tribune office and stole a gold
watch from the pocket of a vest hanging
in the room, which belonged to the press
man. He was caught five miles east of
the city. He gave up the property and
after getting sound thrashing he was
allowed to resume his travels.
The affairs of Collector of Internal Rev.
enuc Ashworth of Philadelphia, have
been investigated by special agents of the
treasury department and their reports are
not favorable. Ashworth appears to have
been guilty of loose and careless manage
ment, although nothing against his char
acter has been discovered. The fact that
he was wounded soldier has kept him in
Office, but it now seems likely that he will

This morning shortly before O'Clock
Zeb Wise, who is employed at the Penn
iron works, was returning from work and
while walking along Grant street, between
Plum and Ann, he discovered that a frame
stable in the rear of the property occupied
by Mrs. NJ. d. Holbrook, and owned by
Col. Samuel Shoch, of Columbia, was on
fire. He gave the alarm and the fire was
extinguished in very short time. The
American fire company had their appa-
ratus promptly Oh the ground, but their
services were not needed. The fire was
started by an incendiary, as the board
which was burned had been saturated with
coal oil after which the light was applied.
But one board was burned and the damage
was therefore very slight.

BOTH Houses Of the Virginia Assembly
have passed bill repeating the bell
punch liquor law and re-establishing the
license system which is to 60 into opera
tion on May 1. The vote was nearly
unanimous. Both Houses of the General
Assembly passed and sent to the governor
for his approval the bill to re-establish the
public credit. 1t reduces the principal OF
the state debt from $33, 600, 900 to $780,
600, 900. The governor will probably veto it.
NOTWITHSTANDING the alleged bitter

Regular attendants at the opera hous'

At the last meeting the following ques-
ton was referred for answer to Calvin
Cooper: "Why is it that the second
crop of clover produces more seed than
the first?'' Mr.. Cooper answered that it
was because there were more heads on the
second crop. If the heads of the first
crop were allowed to ripen for seed, in

have received different treatment to others
| we should learn what it is and initiate the
treatment. If they are caused by loca-
tiOn, influence of soil, water supply, shell
ter, &C., why then by all means let us Sc
lect, if possible, just such conditions.
My own observation of late years has
made me great believer in water supply,
not necessarily running water, but soil
retentive of moisture.
Deep clay loans, or swamps so drained
as to take away surface water, would be
my first choice for orchard location. A
northern slope, where the sun has little in
tiuence on the ground, is also good. All
good corn land IS adapted for growing
trees, but the tendency in many of these
to dry to the depth of several feet in our
scorching dry summers that have become
the rule of late years, is the cause perhaps,
more than all others combined to produce
our premature ripening of apples. To
ural moisture that we find in some clay
this, much can be done by frequent
and thorough cultivation and by mulch
ing
Mr.. Meehan, editor of the Gardener s
Monthly, one of the best authorities on
hoiGicuiluIo III Cho CouHCly, Ihinho SII-
ring of the soil unnecessary. He advocates
the sowing of grass and the making of one
or two crops of hay annually, with good
dressing Of manure also every year. Some
OF our Lancaster county hill sides are en-
tirely too washy to permit thorough and
continued cultivation. Here the grass sys-
tenn will answer good purpose if We leave
every second crop, and occasionally every
crop, spread over the surface as mulch,
and be sure not to forget the manure.
Our winter varieties of apples could be
much improved by mulching around the
trees with straw, leaves, tan-bark or even
stones. Stones are excellent for retaining
moisture in the ground, and where they
are plenty it would be worthy of trial to
cover the ground under the trees with
them.

5. Z. Eby suggested that stock cOmpa-
nies be chartered for the planting of for
ests. Life is too short for any man to
plant and protect the growth of forest
trees !; before they attain their growth,
they fall into the hands of others, who
may not value them as highly as the plant
ers valued them. The only way to pro-
tect the forests is to place them in the
keeping of chartered companies. Mr.. Eby
concluded by saying he had fully intended
to take part in this discussion, but upon
examination Of the subject had become
convinced that its great Importance, and
the numerous facts and authorities bear
ing upon the question of the value of for
ests, their influence upon streams, temper
ature, climate and rainfall, cannot be
properly considered in the brief space of
time necessarily allotted to discussions be-
fore the society. He had therefore con-
cluded to put his views on paper and pre-
sent them to the members at some future
meeting.
Levi S. Reist said he could count 1,5OO
shade trees along the roadsides of his farm,
and he was now growing tract of fifteen
acres Of young timber.
The question was further discussed by
C. L. Hunseckcr, VIM. II. Brosius, John
H. Landis, DR.. Green, F. r. Ditfenderffer,
Eph. S. Hoover, II. NJ. Engle, Casper

SMALL ACTS BY SMALL MEN.

The methods by which those who
are conducting the democratic CAM
paign in the first district are trying
to achieve success, can not but be
disgusting to decent and well dis
posed democrats. There is a super
lative smallness and an abject mean
ness in these methods that men,
must despise, loath and abhor.
When we say mean, We use the
word in its literal sense. The idea
is to get votes for the democratic
candidate, by purchasing cheap re-
publican newspapers, and by tina
means deceive the people by pass
ing off the mercenary expression
of an obscure, subsidized newspaper
as sincere utterances of unsatisfet
republicans. If the card of Mr.
Sewer, himself a democrat, is to b
believed, the change Of the Greene
vile New Era, is not change
principle, but sale for the paltr.
sum of two hundred dollars. It wa
little, mean, abject, contemplate
pitiful, low-minded, dishonorabl
transaction, and serves only to il
lustrate the utter want of prlncipl
