The first Of January was the twentieth
anniversary of the emancipation. Com
menting on the results of twenty years
of freedom, it is remarked that it would
be difficult to ind anybody in the whole
south who would profess a willingness 10
have slavery restored. They may have
a very poor idea of intelligence, the NOR
ais or the prudence of the negroes; but
think as meanly of the co!ored people as
they may, they do not wish again to be
the masters of slaves. They are per-
suaded that both the superior" and
''inferior" race are better off under the
conditions of liberty. Certainly the ne
groes do not desire to be again enslaved.
They are not tired of liberty. These
facts taken together are conclusive OF
the wisdom Of emancipation.

Increasing Number of Failures.

The failures of the last seven days re-
ported to R. G. Dun & Co. number 224.
Compared with last week, this shows an
increase OF thirty one, but the number is
doubtless swollen by numerous small as
signments made at the close of the year,
though the parties had virtually failed
long before. The prominent New York

A Southern Ball Room Episode.

At bali in Bedford county Va,
Saturday night a young lady, Idelle
Read, said to Scott Clayton, who was
calling figures, that he was not calling
correctly. He made some sharp re-
Spouse, which was resented by one of
Miss Reads admirers, Armstead Barks-
dale. The latter called Clayton out.
Hot words passed. Barksdale drew a
knife, sprang on Clayton and inflicted a
horrible cash from the right eye to the
back of the neck, severing the jugular
vein and causing immediate death. The
scene in the ball room was sickening.
Women in fancy ball dresses tainted,
falling into pools of blood, and regular
melee followed among the partisans of
the two men. Barksdale escaped unob-
served, and wandering to another part
of the county, borrowed a gun and COM
pleted the tragedy, by shooting himself
through the bowels. He died soon
after.

Our Great Fruit Country.

We have not a doubt, says the Ger
mantown Telegraph, that the United
States, ere many years, will become the
greatest. fruit raising country in the world.
Our soil and climate partake ofevery de-
scription, and if one kind is not adapt
cd to a particular place, anotheris is, hence
tie wide extent of our territory presents
to us means of cultivating successfully
all kinds of frnit. For years we have
been shipping enormous quantities OF
apples to Europe, and this expectation
is steadily increasing, and will continue
to increase until the trade shall become
of national importance. In dried fruits,
such as peaches and apples, the export
alton mas already acquired large pro-
portions, and in ten years more it will
20 on multiplying in extent until fruit
raising will become. a far greater and
more profitable branch OF industry than
at present. With such a market open to
us we can never grow an over-abundance
of apples and peaches; while these, In
addition TO cranberries, in their natural
condition, fresh from the trees and vines,
ought to he, aud no doubt. will be pro-
duced in sufficient quantities to meet
any demand. The very cheapness that
We can send them abroad for will open
for us an unlimited market for all with
which We can supply it.

Feeding Sheen in Winter.

1t requires more nice discriminating
care and judgment to eedsheep success
fully in winter than any other stock.
Just the quantity should be fed each
time that they will eat clean; if little
more than they will eat is given, cut
them short the next time, and by little
practice the right quantity can be gagged
very accurately. BY over-feeding few
times and leaving some orts in their
racks they will acquire the habit of vast
ing hay. and when once acquired 1t ls
hard TO break. 1t is good economy to
feed store-sheep little grain when it is
not too high; by 80 doing they can be
made to eat hay up very close and do
better; but when no grain is fed all the
hay is forced into them that can be, and
they are liable to be oyer-fed; hence
waste of hay. Salt is conducive to the
health of sheep, and they should have
it once a week at least, either by brin-
inc the orts left in their races or by salt
ing in their feed troughs, but never give
salt when sheep depend Oh snow for
drink; it creates a thirst that snow will
not quench, and damage, rather than
benefit results.-Carlos Mason, Lake
Co., Ohio.

From the Home Journals 'Notes u

items concerning weddings: After the
ceremony and the clerical blessing. the
clergyman congratulates the husband
and wife, but he does not kiss the lady,
as was, once the custom. Indeed, kiss
ing in public, says thislauthority, is no
longer permissible in good society; del
icate and refined womanhood has long
been in rebellion against the usage, with
out having abolished it, however, until
quite recently. After the breakfast, or

which are becoming place of resort,
and furnish sport for lovers of angling.
HeS charges one dollar per hour for
fishing with pole and line, and has all
the fishermen he wants. He says he is
thinking ofexcayating an eight acre pond
for carp. He has no douot they are the
most profitable fish he can raise. They
feed on vegetation, and do not prey on
one another, and will do well in warm OF
stagnant water, while trout will not
thrive in water above GS degree. He
says any one having living spring can
have all the fish they want. He succeeds
in raising brock trout in ponds fed by
springs; has rock bass, black bass and
handbook salmon. He considers the
sun-fsh and lake bass the best pond fish
he has tried.

Throughout most portions ofnorthern
South America, where the land reaches
an altitude of 5000 feet, the precious
quina tree is found in valleys and hill
sides that flank the deep barrancas
which separate the mountains from the
lower country. So plentiful is its pro-
duction that the first groves, which were
discovered three centuries ago. are yet
unexhausted, while new forests are con-
stantly being. discovered. Yet the
method, Of gathering this valuable bark
might lead casual observer to imagine
that the demand will soon far exceed
the supply. for the careless Indians gen.
orally cut the tree down, strip the upper
portion and are too lazy TO turn it over
and gather the bark on the other side.
The vast forests of Columbia can afford
vast supply of this bark for centuries yet
The principal amount of this product Is
sent to Europe, but New York and Phil
adelphia import no small portion of it.
