Active Pests in Orchards.

flares, mice and rabbits are active and destructive pests in orchards and nurseries during the winter, especially if grass and weeds are thick about the trees, or thereis hazel brush and woods in near proximity. These troublesome visitors gnaw the bark from the trees, often entirely stripping them for several inches above the surface of the, ground
 One rabbit on mischief bent will bark a large numb Der of trees in a night.
 This damage is generally accomplished under the cover of weeds, grass, mulch orsnow. Micewill remain under the snow an indefinite length of time, subsisting on9 the bark of the trees. With this wel-known fact in mind, it becomes every farmer whose grounds are subject to the visits of these pests to see to it that there remains nos cover about his trees under which the pests can work. Clearing the ground around the trunks of the trees of grass, weeds and trash will serve in large measure to protect them. In. localities where much snow falls, packing the snow down firmly around the trees has been found beneficial.
 Among remedies that have been tried with more or less success, is the one of bandaging the trees with stiff paper or old cloths from the ground up as high as the pests can reach. Another plan is to wash the trunks of the trees with soft soap diluted little with. water. Another wash, said to be effective as long as it remains on, is lime whtewash in which flour of sulphur has been mixed in the proportions of one, part sulphur to four partsoflime. Animals blood and grease, applied with 8 cloth or brush. is claimed by some who have triedit to be effective. Crude coal oil, used sparingly, has also proved benef- cial this is, however, not safe rem edy ID, careless hands if used in excess it injures the trees. Another question able remedy is gas-tar applied so thick that it will barely soak through the cloths used in applying it. If put on, too thin it sinks into the bark of the trees. Tar is less liable to injure old trees than young ones, and in cool, moist climates than in hot, dry ones.
 These and similar remedies are, of course, out of the question ID extensive orchards and timber plantations. Here it is not possible to soap or whitewash trees that count by the thousands. Much damage may be avoided, however, by clearing away in the autumn all grass, weeds and brush, so that there shall be no shelter or protection in or near the plantation. Western settlers in many localities make it5a common business to kill these noxious pests off in every possible way. Rabbits feed in daytime and rest at night. flares feed by night and rest by day in burrows under ground. Western settlers also sometimes provide artificial shelters made of brush, that provides food for these pests at some distance from their plantations. By this means they are decoyed and kept away from valuable fruit and timber trees.

The PoU MoU Gazette Nondon
 says: '"There is no truth whatever in the statement that there is a large amount of money in the bank of Eng land, which was deposited to the credit of the Confederate government and is available for the payment of Oonfeder- ate bonds.

watchman was seized, and ere he could
 struggle or give the alarm, was bound
 and gagged by two of the policemen,
 acting onsa sign from the model ser geant.
 Gagged and bound, the watchman was deposited on the floor like bundle. one of the policemen taking a chair by him, and pointing pistol at his head. Meanwhile, obedient to a low whistle given by the model sergeant, three or four more men, not policemen this time. entered through the partly open door, and displayed under their clothes, and brought with them in bag, or carried in their hands, lot of wedges, blow pipes, billies and other tools in burg lars ''kit."
 These new arrivals went right to work in business way at the safe; and the living bundle on the floor could hear them at their work, but could do nothing to prevent it. If he had dared even to struggle his brains would have been blown out, or more likely he would have had his skull crushed in by the butt end of the pistol.
 Still he was not treated positively ruelly. On the contrary when his ponds began to hurt him they were lightly loosened; when the gag com nenced to choke him 1t was moved to ] 'ne side of his mouth and when he made what signs he could that he need d some water, it was given him, or ather dropped into his parched mouth, lrop by drop, with the muzzle of the 'istol near the pitcher.
