AS sweet to hold and dear to me
AS when with chimes npon the air.
On Christmas nights of years ago
held the same dear, little thing
And felt its soft caresses bring
The tiushes TO my throhbing brow.

Soils For Fruit.

All trees and plants are not partial 20 the
same character of soil and though they NAV
live for a few years in uncongenial ground.
certain varieties will never reach their great
est perfection unless their roots are thorough
" adapted to the soil in which they are plac-
ed. We NAV change the character of some
soils, as, for instance, wet, retentive clay
by systematic UNDERTAKING, etc, but it is a
difficult matter to convert a pure sand into
a stiff. adhesive mould Now. this
partiaity to special soils extends even to
varieties of the same species Of frnit, az. for
instance. the strawberry. The Triomphe de
Grand. Jucunda and some others will attain
perfection only in heavy soils, while the Ken.
tucky and many others are specially adapted
to the light sands of portions of New Jersey
and Delaware. The pear, in particular, is
very partial to a strong, rather heavy soil
and the apple. plum and ounce succeed hes,
on one OF similar character. On the other
hand. cherries and peaches seem to succeed
better on through'y d. aimed, open and
friable loan, with little, if any, clsy-Ez
change.

Orchard grass which comes into bios
som with clover will grow on light soils
and has the merit of furnishing successive
cuttings. 1t is not recommended here to
discard timothy, for it is too valuable, but
why should farmers deny themselves the
advantage of more suitable grass with
their clover? Orchard grass is a more
permanent grass than timothy; continues
to give two crops each year for several
seasons and grows early. being among the
first of our crops to start off in the spring.
which makes it valuable for early pastur-
age. On good rich land, especially if it
is little moist, crop of red top or herds
grass would add to the variety of a hay
crop. This grass, by its running roots
soon forms thick sod and is permanent
Blue grass is best adapted TO limestone
soils. 1t should not be grazed close, but
should be left for eating by stock at late
periods. Hungarian grass affords at least
three cuttings during the season. and as
it grows so quickly and on the thinnest
soils, there is no excuse for dispensing
with it.

Few if any grains require such careful
treatment as barley but the benefit to the
crop will be proportionate, and the land
will be left in good condition for a sue
ceeding crop. 1t is also in excellent con-
dition to seed down when the barley is
sown. this being favorable crop for this
purpose. As to harvesting there are va
rious ways. The point 10 have in view is
to secure as bright and plump berry as
possible, avoiding therefore. overripeness
and immaturity. and cutting when the ber-
ry is bright and hard. As soon as wilted
and dry outside put in small lunches,
covering with the hay cap, and keep so
till cured, when both straw and berry will
show clean rht yellow color.

Triple Death.
THREE YOUNG LADIES DROWNED.


From private letter from Broadway. in
Rockingham county, we learn the particu-
lars of a very sad accident which occurred
at that pla ce on Monday last. Three young
girls were drowned in sight OF the village.
There was log across the river at a very
deep part, which was used as foot-way.
The river was swollen and very swift, and
there were ne hand-railings to the log
Two OF the girls crossed safely. but the
third was afraid to venture and called to the
others to return and assist her. This they
did. and in the attempt all three fell into
the water and were drowned almost i'll
stantly. A lady and two men witnessed
the whole scene, but were powerless to
render help. The alarm was sounded and
In few moments crowd had assembled.
and the bodies were recovered. DR.. Slower,
who was at hand, applied all the known
measures to resuscitate, but his efforts were
unavailing
Two OF the unfortunate girls were sisters
by the name of Fately. The other was
cousin, a Miss Hottenger. They lived about
ten miles from Broadway and were return
ing home from visit to friends in that vi
cinity.
The citizens took charge of the bodies.
shrouded them neatly and laid them in the
church to await the coming of friends
Whilst there, stream OF people poured in
and out of the edifice to gaze upon the up
turned faces of the young girls so suddenly
hurried into the Great Hereafter. II was
sad scene and will long be remembered by
those who witnessed it.
