THE shock which fell with such appalling
suddenncss upon the nation last Saturday
has necessarily been the all-absorbing
topic of the past week. The sad event
has been already so fully canvassed that
any detailed account Of it would only be
repeating an oft told tale"
1t is well known how deep the sympathy
of the whole world has been for America in
this hour of trial, and small though our
community is, it is not one whit behind its
neigh ghbours in this respect.
The one bright spot in the all-pervading
gloom is the daily increasing probability
of the recovery Of the President.
The attention Of the whole nation is
centred round the darkened chamber of
the White House, and the hourly bulletins
issued by the medical men send a
responsive throb of hope or fear through
the mighty pulses Of the civilized world,
according as they happen to be favourable
or unfavourable.
Men speak with bated breath and
anxious mien Of the outlook for the i'm
mediate future of the nation, should their
worst fears be realized, and it is, and
must be, question Of momentous gravity.
AT time like this thoughts such as these
must arise in the minds of all thinking
men, whether they will or no, but each
recurring bulletin watts further from us
the huge, dark, cloud of apprehension and
doubt.
10 medical men each day Of life repre-
sents an immense victory; and, already
hearts beat high with the hope of ultimate
recovery.
Mrs Garfield and her family must COM
mand the profound sympathy of all, but
from anguish like hers one dares not draw
aside the veil and the truest sympathy is
expressed by respectful silence.
Why this great calamity has fallen
upon this nation we cannot, ought not, to
ask, but we can feel perfectly satisfied
there is some all-wise reason for it, and
That out of apparent evil good will We,
come.

slight fermentation, it improves the quail
ity of the milk even as compared with the
same fodder fresh from the field"
With such an abundant supply of food
as the woods around Rugby at present
afford, could it not be possible for some
of our farmers to take advantage Of this
discovery, and so lay up a cheap store of
winter food for their cattle. At any rate
it is we'll worth trial, and we hope some
enterprising colonist will give the matter
his considerations.

WHEN the sad news of the attempted
murder of the President arrived here on
Sunday morning it was at once felt that
the intended programme for the 4th Of
July must be abandoned. Special mes
sengers were sent down to Glen Mary on
Sunday night to obtain the latest news !;
and on their return on Monday morning
Mr.. Hastings Hughes decided that it
would be out Of keeping with the great
anxiety we all felt to carry out the days
amusement as originally intended.
The Athletic Sports were therefore
postponed sine die, but it was decided that
the school feast for the little ones should
still. be gone on with. The cares and
troubles of life crowd fast enough upon us,
and it was instinctively felt by all that
the innocent pleasure Of the little ones,
too young to understand the dreadful
news, would show no want of sympathy
with the gravity of the situation. Under
the able superintendence Of Miss Hopkins
and Mr.. Tucker this portion Of the pro-
gramme was carried out with the most
entire success.
A large table was placed under the
pleasant shade Of the large trees that stand
close around the temporary school, and
with the assistance of kind and willing
friends was speedily covered with all those
delicacies, in the way Of cakes and
candies, that usually tempt the juvenile
appetite. Swings were fixed between the
neighbouring trees and various round
games were started, and, after a hearty
romp the children were served with a
good square meal. At the close of the
feast addresses were given by Messrs.
Blackjack, Cyrus Clark, Armstrong, and
Kemp.
During the day large number of
people came in from the surrounding
neighbourhood, as the terrible news had
not reached the mountain villages.
Later on in the day kilograms of more
satisfactory nature were received; and as
by this time there were considerable
number of strangers collected in the
town, it was decided to proceed with the
exhibition of fireworks. The English
Garden was the site chosen for the display,
and this portion Of the days programme
was successfully carried out.

RUGBY is just now coming in for rather
more than it's fair share Of criticism and
every other paper one takes up has some
thing to say about it. AS long as our
critics keep to facts we are only too glad
that this should be the case, for it is
always of benefit to "see ourselves as
others see us"
With an almost perfect climate, good
position, and fair soil, we have nothing to
fear as long as the truth is spoken,
and can very well afford to say to those
who judge us unfavourably, "Wait and
see."
With natural advantages such as have
been enumerated above, faults of manage
ment cannot seriously initiate against the
ultimate success of the Colony, though
they may, and have, impeded the rapidity
of its growth. Quarrelling over the past,
however, can be of no possible use, and
the only thing to do is to find out where
the errors lie and then rectify them with
as little delay as possible.

THE subject OF chicken farming has
been enjoying the attention of the farmer
in the eastern states for some little time,
and the problem has been more or less
satisfactorily settled in several Of the New
England States. Here the same question
has recently come up for discussion, and
as our population increases the want Of a
good supply of chickens and eggs becomes
daily more and more felt.
This is an enterprise not requiring a
very large outlay Of capital, and one which
would insure a speedy return to the
proprietor.
When one considers the almost perfect
climate we enjoy here, it is evident that
with the most ordinary care almost any
kind of fowl ought to do well.
AT the same time there is great deal
in selecting the right kind of bird, and
to assist our readers on this point we
publish the following very interesting
letter contributed by c. S. Cooper to the
Rural New Yorker:-
II bought my first stock of ordinary
mongrel breeds from several farmers, and
am willing to acknowledge that the birds
were excellent layers and afectionate
mothers. l wanted no better for several
years. They began to fail, however, and
| resolved to try another variety. White
Leghorns were all l desired as layers,
but they had other traits that did not
altogether please my fancy. found it
almost impossible to keep them in any
enclosure, be it ever so high, and owing
to their naturally wild nature they we're
unsuited to my fancy. AS brooders, too,
they were very poor; many setting of
eggs being spoiled by the hens leaving
their nests after sitting for week or two.
Then again the chicks that were Matched
and reared we're about two-thirds cock
erels, so it was difficult to rear enough
pullets to supply all the eggs l wanted,
and for the table the birds are of poor
quality and of small body. Moreover,
they are not extra hardy, so that on the
whole they are not an Al breed, and I
have altogether discontinued raising and
keeping them. Black Spanish was my
next venture. I found them to excel the
White Leghorns in laying qualities, their
eggs being equal in size and colour, but
more numerous. The hens, however, were
almost non-sitters, and Of the same wild,
restless disposition as the White Leghorns,
all whose other Objectionable traits they
also had. The Plymouth Rocks and Light
Brahmas are the breeds to which now
confne myself exclusively, having dis
carded the Houdans for various objections.
l find either of these varieties best suited
to my fancy. Both kinds are of large
size, docile, good mothers, and Of excellent
quality for table use They can be kept

The Cultivation of the Apple.
BY J. A. KrLLEBREw, AM, Ph. D.
APPLES.

APPLES.
The apple trees on all the Cumberland
lands are healthy and thrifty.
For this fruit there is wide and ready
market in Southern cities In the cotton
states, it must be remembered, that the
apple is not much grown, and the fruit is
quite inferior. Their winter supply is
drawn nearly entirely from the north and
northwest. Even in Knoxville, with a
country surrounding it tolerably we'll
adapted to the apple, especially on the
high ridges, hundreds, perhapsthousands,
Of barrels Of winter apples are brought
every year from New York, Michigan,
Ohio, and other states, and sold at high
prices. The same statement is no doubt
true of Nashville, Chattanooga, and
Atlanta.
Cincinnati will furnish market for
early apples, and the Southern cities for
winter marketing. For the reason that
apples do best in a moderately cold
climate, the ground selected for them
should be as high as possible, and on the
northern slopes, or on the top of ridges.
Besides this, the best soil is usually found
on the north side of hills.
The following varieties have been tested
in Tennessee, many Of them on Cumber-
land lands, and are known to suit this
climate, and to be of excellent quality.
Most of them, and probably all can be
had at the nurseries of Ward & Bro,
Loudon, Tenn, or at Bird & Dew's,
Knoxville. Both firms are reliable.
Worlds Wonder, Nickajack, Tennessee
Red, Stinson, Golden Red, Fallawater,
Volunteer or Peerie, Winesap, Golden
Russet, Shockley, Grimes Golden, Berry
Red, Striped Pairmain, Mountain Sprout,
Pumpkin, Timber Twigg, Early Straw
berry, Early Harvest, Musk Melon,
England's Seeding, Gravenstein, Peck's
Pleasant, Northern Spy, Stine.
Do not purchase winter apple trees
in the north, or the result will be fall
fruit.
One other item. The character of the
same apple is changed for the better if
planted on the mountain. The Timber
Twigg, for instance, which on the mountain
is an excellent rosy-cheeked apple, is a
green tough arrle when planted in the
valley.
The pear, like the apple, does not do
well in hot climate. But few are raised
in the Southern States The supply is
brought from the North and from
California They are sold, by retail, at
from FIVE to ten cents each, On the
Cumberland lands pears will do we'll if
planted in deep good soil, and especially
if planted on the north side or on the
top Of the hills The market will always
be unlimited in the South, especially for
good winter pears. =
Winter varieties and standard trees arc
recommended Dwarf trees might be
planted between the rows of standards,
and thus economize space. The dwarfs
will be nearly worn out by the time the
standards are in full bearing. If the
dwarfs are planted four inches below the
point Of union with the ounce stock it will
often become standard by throwing out
lateral rods.
The Duchess, Vicar of Wakefield, Belle
Lucrative, Howell, Sheldon, Beurre Bose,
Beurre Clifford, Clapp's Favourite, and
Swans Orange are unsurpassed.
1t is believed that ounces, cherries,
plums, and ncctarincs will all do well at
Rugby.

We publish letter from one of our
correspondents drawing attention to the
existing custom of bathing promiscuously
along the river bank. The Board of Aid
very wisely reserved the river banks for
the purpose of making walks along our
very beautiful river; and it consequently
lies within their power to put an end to
this nuisance with comparatively little
trouble. The Boards Surveyor might
easily select a certain portion of the river
bank for bathing purposes, and let a
couple Of stakes be placed, to mark the
boundary lines within which bathing
would be allowed. The walk to the Meet
ing Of the Waters may be equalled, but
cannot be excelled for beauty by any river
in the world. 1t would be thousand
pities if the few ladies we have here are
to be debarred from enjoying one of our
prettiest promenades for the sake of few
selfish individuals who seem to imagine
that the river was specially made for
them.
