The River at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, April 17.-The river took a
sudden jump night before last, raised about
sixteen inches, and is rising this evening,
1917 feet in the canal and Az feet in the
chute on the falls. Business fair. Weather
clear and pleasant. Arrivals and depar-
tures-Ariadne, from Cincinnati for Tenn
river; Golden Rule, from Cincinnati for
New Orleans; Montana, from st. Louis for
Pittsburg.
The towboat James II. Clackmore, from
Pittsburg, passed over the falls with her
tow in safety to-day, landed it few miles
below, and Started ON her return trip to
Pittsburg.
When near the lower end the canal-boat
was caught in the whirling current and
capsized The wreck now lies below Port
land. No lives were lost, The Blackmore
was 10 or 10 years old. The Grand Lake
Coal Company, composed Of Capt. Jos. b.
Williams and others, paid $4,000 tor her
last fall, and she was considered one of the
best towboats of her class on the river.

An Invaluable Apple for the Table.

Considering the large number of APP
Piles known to cutivators, it is surpris-
ing how few answer tho requirements
of perfect table fruit. In choosing
apples for eating it is customary to
make flavor primary consideration.
This think is an error, for some of
the highest favored apples have such
hard, solid flesh that they burden the
stomach, and are difficult to digest. In
my opinion the most important quail
iication of good eating apple is a ten
der, delicate, melting flesh, which
dissolves quickly and digests easily.
Flavor is the next consideration.
Apples Astounding in acidity are liza
BILE TO derange the stomach, and mild,
sub-acid flavor is undoubtedly the most
pleasant, as well Us the one best calcu-
lated to promote digestion, | am re-
minded of this fact by the handsome
and excellent Fameuse, or Snow apples,
which we are enjoying, and which, |
am glad to say, are tolerably abundant
in the market, This variety, more than
any other that know, possesses quail
ties which commend it, not only to all
who enjoy fine fruit, but more especially
to persons who suffer from indigestion.
1t is a beautiful fruit, of medium size;
the skin is of n purplish crimson color,
its flesh is white as snow, tender and
delicate, and the flavor very pleasant,
with just enough acidity to render it
exceedingly refreshing. Now as fruit
has come to be regarded so valuable an
tdjunct to other food aud so conducive
40 health, there are many no doubt
searching after the choicest kinds, and
recommend this as one Of the choicest
fruits of its season. Ipropose in future
articles to refer to few other valuable
apples for the Ia BILE. country Gentle
man.

EHactive Farm Gardens,

Farmers gardens will not get suffi-
cient cultivation if not laid out so as to
be chiefly dres,e by horse labor IL
the spade and hoe are expected to do
the work, nne-tenths of such gardens
will not be cleaned once " month, and
the soil will become crusted and weedy.
The remedy is to plant every crop
which will admit it in drills or rows for
the horse to pass between as often as
once a week through the entire season.
This will accomplish as much work in
half an hour rs a whole day or more
with the hand-hoe, and do it better and
break the soil finer. Before you begin
spring work, lay out your garden, SO
far as may be practicable, for this horse
dressing. Some crops may be planted
in drills two feet apart, and still be cul-
tivated by using steady horse; and if
the cultivator is not of the kind to con-
tract, take out the outside teeth. When
you wish to 90 deep, use but few teeth;
when mellow and superficial treatment
Is wanted, use u larger number. lose
cure early, as well rs good, vegetables.
it is of vital importance to have perfect
drainage. A wet soil may be unht 70
work for weeks, and then give you
hard or crusted or lumpy surface wen
drained land may be worked ut once
and be warm and mellow. IL the
ground needs It, put in pipe-tile rod
npnrt and three feet deep. 1t will make
tbe season a month earlier than with a
water soaked soil, and be equivalent to
three degrees farther south in latitude.

An Old Trapper's Adventure in the Wilds
Of New York.

of New York.
Floyd +. Lobb, for thirty-six years
trapper and guide at Piseco Lake in
the north woods, is in the city for few
days. He says when he first reached
Piseco it was vast wilderness. Deer,
wolves, and fur-bearing animals
abounded. In half day man could
90 out in a boat and catch it half full
of fish, Seven years ago he caught
next to the largest salmon trout that
was ever caught in that lake. 1t
weighed rs pounds, measured three feet
two inches long and was two feet around
its body. He caught this fish "still fish
ingr in a boat, off an anchor. The
largest known fish ever caught atPseco
was q salmon trout weighing n pounds.
This fish was caught by Timothy Thur
man.
Last winter, while in his bark shanty
heavy fall Of snow came during the
night, completely covering his shanty,
and making Lobb a prisoner. He luck
lily had provisions and wood, but no
snow shoes. He was one and quar-
ter miles from the nearest house, and it
was impossible for him to walk on ac-
count of the depth of the snow He re-
manned a prisoner for twenty days
without seeing human being, letting
his fire in the open fire place 60 out
nights, fearing spark might set his
bed of hemlock boughs on fire. Thus
he remained till thaw came and the
snow froze, forming crust on which
he could walk, thus liberating him.
One day while out fishing he saw
what he at first supposed to be deer
swimming across the lake. Lobb went
after him in his boat. He caught up
with his supposed deer, but looking
around, beheld instead large bear.
Lobb had too much pride and grit to
back out. He had nothing but his oars
and iishpole, yet he determined to have
that bear, although he knew that bruin,
like all other bears attacked by man
in boat, will do his best to change
places and give the whole lake to the
man, while he will try the boat. Lobb
commenced the attack by boarding
bruin about midshps near his stern;

could not be held to work to-day. Only
