SUGGESTION FOR FRUIT GROW.
ERS.
New Era.

New Era.
Walking in our orchard few days
since which we will give to our readers,
and by the use of which they may very
materially add to the growth of their
trees at a comparatively small cost.
Early last spring there came a "stray
dog" to our premises, and after using
every persuasive means to induce him
to vacate and failing, we planted him
at the root of an apple tree, and no.
ticed that that tree outgrew all others
in the orchard, though the ground
naturally was no better than the other;
and we could attribute it to no other
cause than the dog at the roots-he
made the tree "howl." Now, we know
that it would be difficult to get dog
to plant at the root of each tree, but
we will give our readers a modus op-
erandi by which they can cheaply
manufacture quite large number of
them, and it is this: Go oyour near
est druggist and ask for ten cents worth
of strychnine Otis better than arsenic
for the purpose) and judiciously dis
tribute a little of this powder around
your premises at night, with piece of
beef attached, and you will be surpris-
ed to see the crop of dogs it will pro-
duce in little while, and that, too,
when you thought there was nothing
on your place out of which dog could
possibly be made, Continue this prac-
tice for several months, at suitable inN
tervals, and it will enable you to add
much to the growth and vigOr of your
trees besides, it is good for the dog,
for it turns him TO be of some account,
and add something to the satisfaction
and comfort of man, which we have no
doubt will be highly gratifying to the
dog. There are a considerable number
of dogs that seem now to be hunting
for a tree at which to be planted, and
it may be possible they discovered
their best uses before 1t was revealed
to man by experiment.
Col. John H. French informs us
chat mutton is fine substitute for
beef in the above preparation, and de-
tracts nothing from thefertilizingq uali>
ties of the product.

foregoing article from the Era, is a

IAN AND DEMOCRAT BLOOMsBURG COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA

When Malone entered the Senate
in the doubtful gsrb of Readjuster,
who had headed separate ticket tor
Hancock in 1880, anu had professed TO
be Democrat. he was sharply cate
cbsed by Mr.. Hill of Georgia. Senator
Hill unmasked Malone, and left him
in the Republican camp as a
stipendiary of the Administration.
Mr.. Hill obtained for respectable
colored man, who had been in the SER
vice of President Madison toward the
end of his life, an humble place under
the Sergeant-at-Arms The duties Of
this place the colored man performed
faithfully and acceptably. When
the Republican civil service reform
ers 10 the Senate decided to remove
the Democrats who we're holding
Office in that body, Malone named
Canady of Ncrth Carolina for Sergeant
alarms. That officer has control Of
the principal pat, onage of the Senate.
One of the first demands made by Ma
hone after Canady's election was the
dismissal OF the coored man who
owed his appointment TO the late Sena-
tor Hill. This is the Readjuster's
revenge for the castigation he received
three years ago. He bided his time
and got his satisfaction.

gresham Elliot will be renominated ;
that the convention will be largely for
Randall that delegation will go to
Chicago for Randall, with Wallace as
one of the members, bnt that it will
not be instructed for him, as Randall
himself is committed against what is
known as the unit rule by his action in
1876 and again in 1880 and that the
Ohio platform, which is made up bodily
from expressions Of Jefferson, jackson
and Polk, is about what will be the
view of the convention on the tariff
All the signs point with sufficient
plainess to these probabilities to make
it reasonably certain that each and
every one of them will be fulfilled
Aud the great advantage Of the situa
ton such foreshadowiDg presents is it,
indication of entire peace and harmony
in the ranks of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania.

A Vein of Sapphire 0orundum Pound on a
Barren Farm.

Professor J. g. Wilson, of Chicago,
one Of the leading geologists in the
country, has been paying visit to the
anthracite coal regions and has spent
some time in examining the coal for
nations and geological structure of the
region outside the coal field. He was
requested by Mr.. Samuel Verb, a we'll
known farmer, living about twelve
miles from Line Mountain, Nortbum-
berland county, a few miles from Sun
bury, to examine specimen of miner
oil which he had found on his farm.
Mr.. Wilson examined il and found il
to be sapphire corundum. An inves-
tigation proved the existence OF a 38
inch vein Of sapphire corundun, the
value Of which the professor estimates
at two bundled dollars per ton. The
tract on which the discovery was made
il barren aud sterile and the farmer
had offered the tract for sale at three
hundred dollars, but its value becom-
ing apparent by the professors discov-
cry he has closed with the agent of a
Boston stock company for large sum,
said TO be $4,000. The company IN
tend developing the vein at once.
This usually quiet section is ablaze
with excitement and the value of land
adjoining that on which the discovery
was made has greatly increased. Some
time ago the daughter of Mr.. Verb,
while out berrying, found large green
stone, TO which she took fancy aud
preserved. Professor Wilson examin-
ed ii aud found it TO be a fine sapphire.
She had il placed in ring setting
The mineral is Of fine quality.
