Fruit Growing in the United States.
Fruit growing does not stand among
the first class of agricultural interests in
this country, but high up in the second
class. The last census places the aggre-
gate value of all orchard products in the
United States in 1879 at $50,976,l 54.
New York stands at the head of the list
of States, the value of this class of pro-
ducts credited to her being nearly double
that of any other State. In 1879 she
raised 9,4O9,794 worth. Pennsylvania
stands second, the value of her fruit crop
that year being $4,862,826 The com
parison of the last census with that of
1870 shows comparatively small aggre-
gate increase, or only So, 540,965 in all,
the census of 1870 having placed the
fruit crop of the country then at $47,-
335, 49, This small increase, however,
is no doubt due, in great measure, to
the short crop in 1879, with which the
and ten years ago were compared the re-
suit would be different
But while the aggregate increase thus
reported was small, that in some of the
States was surprisingly la
continually calling attention to the pro-
gress OF the South, and in many direc-
tons probably our readers have ceased
to wonder at the figures we give them :;
but we believe very few are prepared for
the story which these two censuses con-
tain about Embarrassing. The increase in
some of the Southern States was enor-
nous. The value of the fruit product in
Alabama was put down at $37 1890 in
1870; in 1880 it was $3.50, 1858 In Flor
ida it was $53 $50 in 1870 and $758, 1896
in 1880 In Mississippi it rose from ST.
018 in 1870 to 1878, 145 in 1880, and in
Texas from $69,172 to $876,844. That
is, the product in Mississippi within ten
years was multiplied almost 81 times in
Alabama more than 81 times; and in
Texas almost 13 times, and in Florida
more than IA times Such figures carry
their own comment.
Any considerable expectation of green
apples from this country is of very recent
date, but within few years past they
are beginning to go in quite large guam
titles. Dried apples also figure as no in
considerable item in our commerce.
One-half of all the green apples exported
are sent from New York, but many are
also shipped from Baltimore, Boston, and
Portland. Those sent come from nearly
all the Northern States. Perhaps the
finest in appearance are from New York
and the West but New England has the
credit of producing those which keep the
best. North Carolina gives us perhaps
the finest dried apples New York is the
port from which much the largest portion
Of this dried fruit goes, her share Of the
expectation being about four-ffths of the
whole. Baltimore comes next then Bos.
ton. Our dried apples go almost every.
where, chiefly to Great Britain and Ger
many.
The following have been the exports Of
dried apples from New York for the past
six years:

The Manufacture Of MIX Sugar

1t is reported that the manufacture Of
milk sugar has been begun by newly in
vented processes at an Ohio cheese fac
tory. Hitherto the 100000 worth Of
milk sugar used in this country in COM
pounding medicine has been imported
from Europe-mainly Switzerland, Ger
many, and France. 1t is to be hoped
that the new industry will prove success
ful and applicable at least to all our
large cheese factories. At present this
element Of milk is in large measure
wasted.

The Canyon Fatality.

The following further particu>
lars of the accident in Ogden Can
yon, which caused the death OF
Jena Hendricksen, are learned from
persons down from Huntsville. Mr..
Hans Schow and the deceased were
returning from Ogden with a load
Of merchandise; the former was
driving when the 7ccident occurred.
The night was dark and stormy,
and when they came to the dugway,
a short distance west of the Warm
Spring, the wagon gave a jerk and
the unfortunate Hendricksen was
thrown seven feet into the river,
striking his head upon rock, caus-
ing instant death. The wagon was
overturned and broken into pieces,
the merchandise being scattered on
the banks of the river. Mr. SchoW
gave a Jump and escaped unhurt.
Help soon arrived, and Hendrick-
sen was taken to the residence OF
Nr. Schow in Huntsville. The fol-
lowing day the justice of the peace
summoned a jury, and verdict in
accordance with the aboYe-stated
facts was given. Hendricksen was
50 years old, unmarried, and has no
relatives in this country, So we
learn from the ogden Herald.

Grateful Acknowledgement

The officers of the Deseret Hos
pital Association respectfully and
gratefully acknowledge the gene
rOsity of the gift received for the
benefit OF the institution from the
Ladies' Bazaar, recently held in the
Social Hall, in this city. The dona:
ton consisted of cash S1,022, and
various articles such as fruits, fresh
and dried, honey, meats, ETC.. books,
pictures, bed-linen, blankets and
Sundries.
Great credit Is due the ladies both
of the Unity Club and the Hospital
Ways and Means committee, for
their energy and perseverance in
getting up the Bazaar and making 1t
such q perfect success. Too much
can scarcely he said IN their praise.
They are not only benevolent and
kind, but untiring in their efforts.
With their own hands these ladies
made many very beautiful things
and contributed them freely to the
Bazaar They also gave much valu-
able time and displayed great taste
and ingenuity in all the arra7ge>

EmpiresMeat Market.

In commemoration of the recur>
rent and time-honored Christmas
festivities, the Empire Meat market,
superintendent and conducted by the
Messrs. Jennings Broth ers will be
and is at present found lavish in
arrangement of choich and juicy
cuts in beef, mutton and veal. pork
and lamb, with an abundance
OF fat and quite artistically
dressed turkeys. We behold
beauties of young pigs, here and
there presenting their smooth and
shining figures from cunning niche
or ap parently half obscured retreat.
all appearing as innocent and pure
as cherub pictures painted in the
time OF Martin Luther. Indeed all
of the great variety one sees in our
metropolitan markets east or west,
satisfying the eye of the fastiduous
epicure and tempting the appetite
of the professional gourmand, may
be seen and purchased at moderate
prices at the city's favorite Empire
Market. Jumbo and Marguerite
have been admired respectively by
thousands from town and country.
The major part of their
huge and succulent proportions
have already been ordered by our
appreciative citizens for Christmas
and holiday roasts and brOils. There.
fore it may be said that in a few
days more they will have entirely
disappeared from the arena of their
present popularity. During quiet
study of the interior of this mart
the handiwork of the expert and 8s-
thetic butcher is gradually evolved
until at last we see that there is
poetic harmony of design in each
and all of the pendant sides and
quarters. 1t may sound like hyper.
bole, but we cannot fOrbear making
the comparison which comes UNI
called for to the front, that the EN-.
pire this year above all previous
years has, on entering inside, the
appearance Of an amphitheatre of
silver-laced and golden colored meats
"a triumph of skill in its line,
literal carnival of plentltude and
grandeur in its general view and
surroundings. The mild and soOth-
ing form of charity throughout
Christendom ever seems at this de-
vout period of the waning year to
burst from the chrysalis of this stub
born matter.of fact old world, and
dispense with heavenly grace the
bounties of Creation to the poor
and needy; in concluding this brief
notice Of a worthy and enterprlsing
butchers establishment in. our
midst, beside which all other
butcher shops in this city pale in
extent and variety, quality and
cheapness of meats, where,
we inquire, can be found
a better place for rich friends
to buy for their needy friends-or
for others to select Christmas SUBJ
stantial remembrance than the EN-
pire Meat Market owned by the
Messrs. Jennings Bros. ;, who extend
to their patrons far and near their

be heard the wish made by Tiny
Tim in Dickens Christmas Carol,

He Is Here

His excellency Governor Eli d.
Murray arrived in Salt Lake yester>
day morning. We had the pleasure
of meeting the gentleman during the
afternoon, and can say without hes
itation that he looks and seems to
feel well, having evidently enjoyed
his somewhat protracted visit. the
term of absence accordingto his own
revision of mathematical rules, be>
ing about seven years. The Cover
nor doesn't look older to that ex-
tent, however; In fact, the differ
ence in his age is not pereeptible to
the naked eye, and he is quite as
handsome as of yore.
Governor Murray, like most Ken
tucklans, is not a bad man intrih-
sically. But when a Southerner
attempts Yankee methods. he inva,
riably comes to grief. His excel
lency did this thing when he en-
tered the domain of invention, par
ticularly when the field sought to be
occupied related more to mental de-
velopment than mechanical science.
But he is with us again, and our
sincere desire is that he may enjoy
merry Christmas and happy
New Year.

The Champions at the Pavil-
ion.

A great crowd, including many of
our best families, gathered at the
Salt Lake Pavilion last evening, the
occasion being the debut in this
city of the League of Champion
Bicycle Rider, who gave a series of
performances on the tricky wheel
which elected the most hearty and
well deserved signs of appreciation.
at s o'clock the bell rang for the
crowd of skaters to leave the floor
and immediately the league made
their appe arance mounted on their
superb machines. Miss Louise Ars
miando, the champion lady rider of
the world, was of course the
centre of attraction, and her mag
nificent development as we'll as the
ease, grace and force of her move-
ment, were the subject of comment
for the time being. The entree,
parade and brilliant series of evolu-
lions, called forth the most gener-
Gus applause, which had no sooner
subsidized than Miss Armaindo was
seen flying around the track closely
pressed in mile race by by Mr.. Il
w. Eek, who, after riding his very
best. had to s0ccumb to a defeat al
the hands of this extraordinary fe-
male.
Messrs. Higham and Robinson
next occupied the surface with
double trick riding which, while
it illustrated their skill in the
use of the bicycle to the utmost, the
audience were no less pePplexed tC
discover how these two men could
climb over each other and change
machines, and do lots of other tricks
without dismounting. The next
feature was a two-mile race be-
tween Miss Armaindo and Mr.. J ohr
S. Prince, the short distance cham
pion Of America, which proved 6
very exciting competition resulting
| in the defeat of the lady but only
after a hard struggle. The audience
were decidedly in sympathy with
Miss Armaindo and did not hesitate
to show it. The exhibition will oc
cur every afternoon and evening oil
this week. They are worth going tt
see.

less fatal wounds. DR.. Benedict
