FRUIT IN rREMoNr COUNTY.

fruit culture is each year being more ex-
tensively engaged in by the settlers around
Gallon City. That fruit growing in Fre-
mont county win pay we may cite the fact
experience has demonstrated, that an ordi-
nary five year-old tree will produce at least
two bushels of apples, putting it very low
This product may be marketed at $3.50
per bushel, giving IS per tree. The cost Of
500 trees is but small, and their planting
and cultivation only trife, yet they will
in a few years bring the grower 81 ,250 and
from the age of five years this return will
annually be increased at least two-fold.
Let our farmers pay more attention to this
culture, and furnish our people with home
raised, wholesome fruit, instead of compell-
ing them to send hundreds and thousands
of miles for it, paying the most exorbitant
freight tariffs, and receiving but an infe-
rior, green plucked, halfdelayed article,

COLONEL pENNIsoN.

Colonel w. Neil Dennison, the subject of
bered war governor of Ohio and honored
cabinet officer; lawyer of fair ability; a
man of pleasant, aflable manners, and pos
sessed of good education. For the past
year he has been practicing his profession at
Coal Creek, few miles east of this city,
and is known to the legal fraternity and
almost everybody else in this part of the
state. The death of his wife, at her home
in Ohio, some six weeks ago, has brought
forth several articles in the public prints of
that state and Colorado, rather damaging
in their nature to the character and life of
this gentleman. 1t has been charged that
Colonel Dennison is a rouc; that he cruelty
treated his wife, and finally deserted her
and their children, afterwards leading
dissolute, lcentious life in Denver and
Leadyille. We have never "gushed over
this " son of Ohio's war governor MS has
one of the papers of Canon, nor have we
ever said aught of him, save in kindness.
AS to the truth OF falsity of the damaging
articles that have appeared concerning him
we know nothing. But we do know that,
although, no doubt, he has been reckless
and, perhaps, dissolute in his habits since
coming to Colorado, for the greater portion
of the time he has resided in this county
he has led a better life, maintaining quiet
and gentlemanly demeanor, winning many
friends; and that when, not long since, he
received the intelligence that his wife was
dangerously i'll, he hastened to her bedside,
and reached it just as the spirit of her he
once so fondly loved took its everlasting
fight. Colonel Dennison is yet in the prime
of manhood, and we are inclined to let the
mantle of charity cover his frailties, earn
estly trusting that he may outlive the fol-
lies of younger days, and honor the proud
name he bears.

OUR ANTHRACITE.

The anthracite coal deposits of Gunnison
county are of almost inca!cuable worth
when we remember that, besides Pennsyl-
vania Colorado is the only state where this
article is found in any significant quanti
ties. Small veins are being worked in
Virginia and Rhode Island but their pro-
duct is of small consequence. II is thought
by reliable engineers that the Pennsylva-
mia anthracite deposits, at the present rate
OF mining, will last but about one century.
In view of the fact, therefore, that this cx-
cellent fuel, 80 valuable for many purposes,
will shortly become luxury, in reach of
the rich only, the owners of the Colorado
mines should take care how economically
they work them.

col.oRApo,s RAILROADS.

Mn our item, last week, on Colorado's
wealth, the total number of miles of rail-
road in the state at tho close of 1852 was
given at 22,453. These figures were taken
from table published in the Denver Re
publican of January /, which gave the to-
tai of miles of railroad in Fremont county
as 10,001 This VIC knew to be about ten
times too great, and reluctantly gave the
former figures. We believe the subjoined

struction of which has cost So, 600 900:

The public school, which has for some

During the holidays the citizens of this

commend coal oil as u specially for corns.

Mrs. Theodore Tilton, the central figure
in the almost forgotten Beeclier scandal
trial, is living quietly at her home in
Brooklyn. The terrible ordeal through
which she has passed, while it has taken
from her face that beauty once so marked
has left her soul purified, and, with gray
hair, toil-hardened hands and sallow
cheeks, she is silently plodding on, with
a conscience void of onense," toward the
end, where she hopes for crown of bright
ness, more valuable than all the dross Of
earth.
