ROSE TREES IN WINTER.
Suggestions as to their Preservation
From the Icy Fingers of Jack Frost.

From yick's Floral Magazine
Nothing can be finer as flower or more fra
grant than some ofthe hardy sorts OF roses which
flower only in June, but during that brief sea-
son OF theirs cover themselves with bloom
These however, have little or no beauty later in
the summer, but appear as brown struggling
bIiars. The more tender ever blooming sorts,
as they are called, preserve both a capacity
to renew their bloom until arrested by October's
cold and green freshness and brightness OF
foliage and stem which add greatly to their eX-
IRENE beauty. The question in regard to them
Is how to preserve them from injury by the win
ter. The hybrid perpetuals, or remontants, are
much planted because they are haf-hardy; but
they II not protected, suffer so much in ordi-
narlly severe winters as to be incapable of
yielding perfect flowers. Their shallow roots
like those Of the ounce and grape, are harmed
by fr0st unless protected by mulch of some
sort. and their more exposed tops are often
Killed outright especially if growth has been
continued rather late. AS they, in general, have
very stiff, erect stems they will not bend to the
earth readily, so it is common to tie them to-
gether loosely or turn thick paper sack over
them.
But as the best security is found in the bosom
OF Mother Earth, we have been in the habit of
pegging down in June each branch that issues
from the collar SO that in November the whole
can be laid down quite flat upon the bare soil
and covered with sodsk grass up) or with branches
OF eyergreens. We used to take up the tea roses
and put them into a cool cellar, where they kept
very well, but could never re-establish them
after being let out in time to bloom with an
effect at all comparable to those left in the
ground and preserved there from winter dam
age. 1t Is easy to lay down and cover the low,
slender-growing teas, but their wood should be
ripe, the ground kept as dry as practicable. and
the covering made wide and thick

Trouble tn Track Laying.

The Citizens Street Railway Company
and the Board OF Public Works had it up
and down yesterday afternoon over the
proper laying of the car track at the corner
of Market and Twenty second streets. 1t
seems that in order to conform to the
ordinance as construed by the Board Of
Public Works, the track in making the
curve at the corner would haze TO be laid
ten inches below the plane of the street
and the company claimed that that ar
rangenent would cause the cars to jump
the track every :ime they descended the
Twenty second street grade. besides
causing an almost impossible mud hole in
the street. Superintendent LOTUS in.
formed the directors of the trouble, and
the latter and Messrs. Campbell and Water
house, of the Board, held an impromtu
meeting on the Sidewalk, and agreed to ask
Council to a'tanew ordinance regulating

ascertaining what progress was being made
in the gas Will project. The contractor
is pushing the work forward rapidly and
the apparatus will be in condition to COM

is located on the creek bottom, just north
of the works and probably 50 or 100 feet
below the level of McCulloch street. A
large derrick, about sixteen feet square
and forty or fifty feet high has been erected.
A steam engine and the necessary drums,
etc, for working the drill are on the ground
and the work of putting them in position
will soon be completed. The company has
not the slightest doubt but that a gas vein
will be tapped and it is to be hoped that
no disappointment will ensue.

THE SALLPOX SCOURGE.
Later Particulars From the Mercer
County Infected District.

DR.. Reeves, Secretary of the State Board
OF Health, has received from DR.. Isaiah
Bee, the member of the Board at Princeton,
Mercer county, further particulars of the
ravages of the smallpox in that part of the
State. DR.. Bee writes that there are now
about forty cases in the county, and that
upwards of one hundred persons have
been exposed to the disease and are reason
ably certain to contract it. Eleven deaths
have already occurred, and eight more of
the sick are dying, which brings the total
number Of fatal cases up to nineteen.
Great difficulty is experienced n seCur-
ing nurses to attend the living or aid in
buyring the dead, so thoroughly are the
people alarmed, and the impossibility Of Sc
curing q proper quantity of vaccine virus
has greatly retarded the efforts of the local
authorities in their efforts to master the
disease. DR.. Ewing. of Charleston, has
sent in all available virus at his command,
and the vaccine farm at Martinsburg will
have to be drawn on for a sufficient
amount.
The State Board is doing all in its power
to aid the local authorities in their efforts
to arrest the spread of the disease, and it
is to be hoped their efforts in this direction
will be crowned with speedy success.
Nothing official has been received by DR..
Reeves in relation to the reported spread
of the disorder into Wyoming county, as
reported in yesterday mornings REGISTER.

did so, but had hardly done so when a
quarrel was inaugurated over the game, the
three original players claiming the new

demurred, when toe three assaulted him,
