DEATH or a DAUGHTER OF GEN
ERAI SCOTT


ERAL SCOTT.
Mrs. Gould Hoyt, a daughter Of
the lats General Winfield Scott, died
at her residence in New York We'd
nesdsy morning of last week. She
occupied 4 prominent position in So
cisl circles. The New York Herald
learns that Mrs. Hoyt, although not
In ill-bealth, had been suffering at
times from severe pains from which
dose Of laudsuum generally rsliev-
ed her. Ga Tuesday afternoon she
had sn acute attSck oil psla, and
usei the same remedy as before,
though IT is supposed in a much lar
ger quantity than usual. At about
half-psst six o'clock in the evening
one oil her daughters went to her
room TO toll her that dinner was
ready, and found her, as che suppos-
ed, asleep, but being unable to arouse
her became alarmed. Physicians
were summoned, and by 3 o'clock
Wednesday morning she was suffi-
cisntly restored to satisfy them that
the worst danger was ovsr and to
relieve the household from great
deal Of anxiety. Shortly before 7
O'Clock Wednesday morning, when
everything seemed to be progressing
iavorably, Mrs. Hoyt suddenly sx-
pred. Her death wac unexpected
by the physicians who attended her,
and it is said they are OF opinioa
that she was sudsring from some or
ganlc disease which The laudanum
acted upon with fatal result, although
her death is not attributed directly
20 the poison. The deceased was
married 10 Mr.. Gould Hoyt in De-
csmber, 1851, and leaves. besdes her
husband, who has for some time been
an invalid, three daughters and three
sons.

THE ORCH4RD.

a close observer makes the fol-
lowing comments CT the prospects Of
the Orchardist:
We often hear the question, "Is
not iruit-growing gsing to be over
done2' ] cannot conceive that it
will ever be Overdone to greater
extent than it has been and now is.
II all the orchards that are annually
planted were in soil suited TO the
natural requirements OF the tree, and
would receive such after treatment
as Is ESSENTIAL to the perfect develop
msnt OF tree aud production of
fruit, there would then be strong
probability OF disastrous shriuk-up
10 pomo.oglcsl values; out view the
matter in a rational light, and the
probabilities lead in the opposite
direction. Thousands of trees are
planted by parties who are sctusted
so to do by motives inspired by the
successful fruit harvest Of a neighbor,
without considering or estimating
the years OF steady toll in training
and tiihng the trees and the vigil
ant warfare against Insect enemies.
As soon rs these essentials crop ont
and present themselves as lndispen-
sable TO success, these emotional
planters abandon the crops that daz.
zlsd them aud induced an outlay OF
cash for trees and an appropriation
OF land for an orchard bonanza.
Thousands OF tres are thus annually
planted, only to Essr out few
years Of feeble existence, and then
give place to some other crop. In
The next place, 80 per cent. OF what
do struggle into bearing produce
inferior grades OF fruit that q supply
produced by proper management
will exclude from the market. But
outside OF this the consumption OF
our fruit by our own people in SO
many and varied ways is training to
development Of proportions which
are as stupendous as the means oil
production. So that when one con-
siders the question Of OVERRIDING the
growing Of fruit we fail to discover
any practical or plausible reason
why fruit growers should be dis-
couraged at the future outlook OF the
industry. The foreign demand 10
wonderful, aud would be far more so
If better grade Of fruit was prepar
cd, and more honest system was
adhered TO by Csnadiansi these de-
feet necessity will provide the pro-
per remedy for when the time arrives.
Again, the protection against ssEl-
Gus loas Of fruit 10 green stste is
insured by the evaporation process,
by which every reasonable advantage
of good market for the products
OF the orchard is guaranteed.
Notwithstanding the fairness Of
the prospects, there are very many
men engaged in growing fruit who
will not succeed-men who will lose
money at it-but that c ass, Doubt
less, would fail at almost anything
else they undertook not possessing
the elements Of success in their na-
lures. Therefore, upon deliberate
survey, a careful examination and
investigation Of the why's and where
forss, am inclined to regard the
future outlook for orchsrdists as be-
ing Of decidedly hopeful and en-
couragiDg character.

tractor. The papers relating to routes 152 from
Ouray to Los Plnos, Col, aud Ss.0l5 from Vermil-

of affairs on the route, was read. Mr.. Bliss said
this route was continued after information had

Indians. Miner, 1t is claimed, requested discon-
tinuance OF the service, but 1t was, however in
creased and expedited. Miners affidavit that the

SOME SPLENDID SPORT
At the National Fair Grounds Yesterday
The winners and Their Time.

The trotting and pacing matinee yesterday after
noon at the grounds of the National Fair Associa-
ton was productive Of much sport and satislac-
tion to the five or six hundred people present.
The first race, which was for horses
that had never beaten three minutes,
brought out Daisy, Josie, Mollie c., and
Pat The hrst-named was the favorlte in the
betting, but she failed to sustain the good opinion
entertained by her hackers, being distanced In
the third heat. Josie, owned by General Be ale,
won llandily in 2lili, 2:iG, 2:iiH. In the second
race, in which the trotter Coupon went against
terest was manifested, but the race was postponed
until to- day after Coupon had won the secoud and
third heats, Little Splan the first and fourth, and
+ anklin the filth. The time was 237, 2.3iI 2:35,
1851, and 2:35. There will no doubt be large
attendance this afternoon TO witness the finish be-
tween these h,rses, which are undoubtedly the
fastesL and stoutest in the District.
