PROTECTION OF YouNG TREES.
Where it is desirable to pasture sheep
or hogs in orchards, or where rabbits
make deprcdations, the bark of young
trees may successfully be protected by
washing the trees in spring, and again
in midsummer, for sheep, and in late
autumn for rabbits, with soap suds and
carbolie acid, or solution of coal. tar
and whitswash Both are sure in ac-
complishing the end in view, and are
valuable in keeping of the borcr and in

A Sensation in Everett, Pa.

Quite q sensation was created in our
town OH Friday evening last by the arri-
val of road locomotive or traction en-
CINE, as the inventor calls it, hauling
Geiser Separator. The coming of the
novel machine had been heralded by
travellers who had passed it on its way,
as it toiled slowly and laboriously over
the high mountains and rough roads be-
tween McConnellsburg and this place,
and it was expectantly awaited by many
Of our citizens who didn't more than half
believe that such a vehicle as it was de-
scribed could possibly make the journey.
About six o'clock, however, strange
steam whistle was heard at the east end
of town, and soon the novel vehicle came
stcaming and screaming UP the street,
and in a few minutes it called halt for
the night on Main street in front of the
old Mansion House lot. Here it was
soon surrounded by an interested throng
of spectators, who examined it curiously,
criticised it freely, and asked all sorts Of
questions about it. AS the presence Of
the road engine in our midst was an
event worthy Of special notice and
marked Z possible new era in the appli-
cation of steam power, we went to some
trouble to obtain information concerning
it, and this is what we learned:
The engine is called the Peerless. is
the invention of F. T. Lands, and was
constructed by the Geiser Manufacturing
Company, the manufacturers of the Gel
ebrated Geiser Separator, at Waynesboro,
Franklin county. The engine aud sepa.
rator were purchased by Mr.. Joseph Sell
and others, of Morrison's Cove, and the
manufacturers proposed to deliver the
machinery by the overland route-in
other words, make the engine deliver it.
self and the separator too without the
aid of any other force or power, the in-
tervcning mountains being the only OBJ
stacle in the mind of the inventor. They
started from Wayncsboro on Wednesday
morning and arrived at McConnellsburg
the same evening, making the distance
of about thirty miles in nine hours and
fifteen minutes. From McConnellsburg
they came rs far as McIlvaine's on Thurs
day, and reached Everett on Friday
evening about six o'clock--the actual
running time from McConnellsburg to
Everett being only ten hours and thirty
minutes. The loss of time was occa-
stoned by the breaking of couplings in
the train. The engine stood the test of
the rough mountain roads without a
break, coming through without having
sprung bolt or loosened a screw.
When we say that in crossing the noun
tains she had to overcome grades of from
10 to 50, or four to eight feet in every
81 $40 feet, the success of the traction
engine can be appreciated. 1t certainly
demonstrated to our citizens what very
few of them thought possible, and what
