The demand for good fruit of all
kinds is on the increase. The
supply is not keeping pace with the
growing demand. This is not
alone owing to the increase of pop
ulation. Fruit can hardly be re-
garded now as luxury, to be en-
joyed only by the wealthy, but is
almost a necessity to all classes.
Those, therefore, who have any suit
able grounds for orchard trees or
small fruits, will find it profitable
in a a few years to devote it TO such
purpose the coming spring. Order
only the best varieties suited to
your locality, and from nurserymen
known to be reliable, as there is
a great deal of crookedness in the

There is a stampede for patronage
of New York and Philadelphia
newspapers. They have reduced
the price from four to three and two
cents. The news dealers struck and
refused to sell them thus, when the
Herald announced the establish
ment of news stands all over the
city. The break was made by re-
publican papers. The people are
turning democrats and want to
read democratic papers. 1t was
the New York dailies that several
years ago reduced the price of their
weekly editions to one dollar for
the purpose of killing off country
papers. No country paper can live
and do justice to its readers at any
such price.

Out west a man hired a rough
to thrash a man he was afraid to
handle himself. The rough went
to butchers shop, smeared his
hands with blood, came back, said
the Job was done, and received $50
as his pay. Then, when the man
saw his enemy walking around as
cheerfully as could be, he thought
he had been deceived, and went to
the rough for an explanation and
his money. Then the rough thrashed
him. Altogether he feels as if his
investment was not what might be
called profitable. Still he knows
more than he did.

AT this time, when work is slack,
farmers can engage in no more
profitable labor than that of thor
oughly repairing their fences.
Take out the rotten and broken
rails and replace them with new
ones; close up the cracks agaist
predatory hogs; nail up the loose
and warped boards; in short, to use
homely but expressive phrase,
make your fence "horse high, bull
strong, and hog tight" Animals
of all kinds have considerable dis
elimination, and will very soon dis
cover the weak place in the en-
trenchments, and there make the

way of illustdation, declared that he
and his wife went out to look at their
corn one evening and found it about

that they stuck a stick up in hill OF
corn to see how much it would grow
by morning. They went back next
morning and the stalks had three ears
of corn and the stick had nubbin.

Creditor. of the Pacific National Bank of

filed with the American Loan and Trust Co.
their assent to the compromise plan made
public by the company. The plan proposes
a compromise only Of the litigation between
the stockholders, debtors and creditors, COW
ering up nothing which is uncovered, and
uncoEering nothing which is covered, If
there is anything covered, leaving the re-
ceiver to work up the assets for the benefit
of the creditors. Tie directors side OF the
story has never yet been told to the public,
but aside from this no careful lawyer would
value the chances of litigation against the
directors az so much as one hundred thou
sand dollars, which the plan proposes they
shall paw The stockholders are advised by
good legal talent that the last issue OF stock
is invalid and that the comptrollers assess
ment cannot be collected from holders of
more than the first $500, 900 of stock even if
the court does not decide that payment of as
sessments made by the bank relieves the
stockholders from the comptrollers assess
ment Of the holders of this $500, 900 of
stock, the holders of at least 100000
would probable be unable to pay any thing
ld The holders Of much of the other portion
would be very much distressed if compelled
to pay, and it is easy to see that the proba-
bities are very great even if the receiver
which he cannot do in less than four years in
cases large enough to be taken to the supreme
court, still the larger portion of the stock

cutions cannot be forced against them. Fifty

the Pacific National Bank, which has been
bid in on change in Boston, Sept 90, at l2t
cents on a dollar, and this sale is practical
demonstration that the 20 per cent guaran-
teed by his compromise is more than the
claims against the bank are worth in the
market. The amount which the compromise
plan asks the stockholders to paw is not much
if any more than an equivalent for the ex-
pense and anxiety of litigation, and will, in
connection with other features Of the plan,
undoubtedly yield to creditors more than the
law suits pending and threatened
