 A large audience was at Carll's Opera House last evening to see and hear the celebrated John T. Raymond and his company, and a more thoroughly pleased audience would be hard to find. Fresh is a fantastic and in- genious comedy, and Mir. Raymond's pecu- liar characteristics as an actor have full sweep in it. He made his auditors laugh until they cried and then made them laugh again. Frequent and hearty applause re- warded his efforts, and he was called before the curtain at the end of the third act. The supporting company was a good one, and some fine scenery was shown. MT. Waas, the director of the orchestra, also deserves a word of praise for the excellent music which helped to make the evening a pleasant one.

planted during the day shed their
fruit; those transp1anted during the
night perfected their crop and showed
no injury from being removed. With
each of these trees he removed some
earth with the roots. The incident
is fully vouched for, and if few
more similar experiments produced a
like result, it will be strong argu-
ment to horticultur1ists to do such
work at night. This occurred in 1lli-
nois.
Manure for Fruit Trees.
It is clear that animal manures are
not what is wanted for fruit trees,
grape vines and berries. There may
be a benefit, and usually is at first,
but the quality Of the fruit will suf-
fer, and the wood and foliage are not
of the healthy character which is
desired. This has been noticed by
many of our best pomologists and
horticulurists. We have known pro-
life grape vines to bear more fruit,
but at an expense Of quality, when
the contents of the COW stable were
freely used for manuring. We be-
lieve the best success will be reached
when leaves, the weddings of the
garden: and forest mold. or muck,
either sing1y Or combined, have been
applied. These seem to contain the
different materials, in proper pro-
portion, that is the organic, the car
bcnaceo'ls and the introsenous the
mineral needs to be eupp]ied, and
nothing does this SO satisfactorily as
wood and ashes. IL supplies largely
potash, which is needsl. The best
success. and it has been achieved,
was by applying coat Of leaves in
the fall, worked into the soil in the
spring, followed by wedding from the
garden, clippings of the vine with
other vegetable refuse as a mulch,
sprinkled over with wood ashes.
leached or mleaehed, if the latter
more is required This made a
healthy, not excessive growth, and
Increased both the quality and guam
tity of fruit. It makes Il sounder and
better keeping fruit. This is better
than animal manure. There should
be plenty of exposure to air, or else
by green mulch kept moist by the
ashes, there might be too much hu-
midity. There is not much danger
of this, however, in our soil. We
would not apply this to grapes, be-
cause it invites parasitic Judgments,
which will appear in masses, mildew
and rusted fruit. Herbaceous ma
terial and ashes, with bone dust, is
the best application for them.
