FRUIT CULTURE.

FRUIT CULTURE.
Apples require strong, clay land
They succeeded well in 'coves and
valleys. They should be planted about
three or four inches deeper than they
are in the nursery to prevent their
blowing down. Train the body four
feet high. Pruning should be done
annually, before the limbs become of
any size, and kept moderately open.
The land should be cultivated every
other year in Gotten, and the succeeding
year turn under two green crops of
peas. 1t will do well if you manure
highly every year in cotton, always re.
turning as many seed back as were
taken of. Caterpillars should be
taken off clean every year before they
eat the leaves off. Examine for worms
about the roots and other places. If
the pillow traces skin the trees while
young, a black bug will get in the bark
and kill the tree.
Cotton succeeds much better under
apple trees than it does under peach
trees. Plant apple trees twenty feet
each way. have no particular va
reties that | can recommend with Ger.
tainty. Summer fruits do better than
fall and winter fruits.
PEACHES
require strong, clay rolling land, not
very rich, planted ten feet in a row,
and sixteen feet apart. No crop can
be raised to any profit on the land, ex.
cept peas be turned under. | find this
thick planting always to produce less
rotten peaches and sweeter ones; the
reason as | suppose, is tina, the trees
evapOrate the excessive moisture by
being planted thick, to greater ex.
tent than when they are planted thin.

in an orchard thickIy planted, rot a

saulted Hong Chung, laundryman of
their race in Newark, last week, robbed
him, cut him with hatchets, carved him
with knives, and believing him dead
strung him up to rafter and left him
hanging. His landlord found him, and
prompt aid saved his life. From the
description given by him, the police got
on track of the leader of the murderous
gang, and. made him a prisoner last
night. He is desperate rufian and the
detectives believe they have caught in
him the perpetrator of one of the most
savage murders ever committed in this
city. His victim was a laundryman.
The circumstances of the murder
were similar to those attending
the outrage on the Newark Chinaman.
From a Newark store the desperadoes
carried off $780, The captured China
man being taken to police headquarters
was recognized as Tom Sing, a China
man of Very unsavory reputation. He
served as officers steward on the Jean
Ilette Arctic expedition, and in the same
capacity with the Greedy relief expedi-
ton. About a year ago a Chinese laun-
dryman was found dead with seventeen
knife wounds i'll his back The muir
derer was never found, hut the police
claim to have proofs that Tom Sing is
the man.

New YORK, December 2S.-The official
report shows that 266 persons were
killed in the provinces of Malaga and
Granada, by the recent earthquake.
The population of Granada is still en-
camped in the squares, the richer class
lodging in carriages along the prOmen-
ade. The facade of the cathedral was
seriously damaged. Many houses were
destroyed in Jimena, and a whole fam
lily was killed in the village OF Cajar, by
a falling chimney. Over half the inhab-
itants of Albanucklas were killed. AL
hama is mostly in ruins. The province
of Malaga suffered equally as much
damage as did Granada. Commerce is
paralyZed. Two hundred houses at
Alfarnetigo were damaged. The panic
is subsiding. The shock was not felt in
the northern and northwest provinces.
Government has granted So, 900 from the
national calamity fund, for the relief of
sufferers in the province of Granada.
Later advices say 300 lives were lost
at Albania, and 750houses and churches
were destroyed; thirty persons were
killed at Periana, the town hall and
many houses damaged. At Torrox the
inhabitants fed panic-stricken. It is
now estimated that 600 persons were
killed in the province of Malaga, includ-
ing those killed at Albania.

Relying on Prayer.

DENVER, December pa peculiar
sect, whose headquarters arein Chicago,
who believe solely in the efficacy of
prayer in curing human ailments, being
discovered in Denver, creates consider
able comment. The establishment is
known as the Tabernacle of the
Lord" conducted by w. T. Williams,
assisted by his wife and several old
ladies, and is run something like q
foundling's home. Children who have
been abandoned by their parents, and
other waits of tender age are taken from
the poorhouse and raised until stout
bows and girls, and then sent to farm
near Boulder, belonging to the same
sect The ideas of the people conduct
ing this unique establishment are
Ethiopian in some respects, and fanati-
cal to the degree of utterly disbelieving
in the remedial power of physics. A
case occurred yesterday, showing their
reliance had been misplaced. A little
waif, named Dolly Ford, died after
short illness. In order to procure the
necessary certificate of the cause of
death, physician was called, who re-
fused to sign the paper, stating that the
child died of inattentiOn. The doctor
asked why physician was not called in
time to relieve the sufferer, when
Williams replied that he relied upon
prayer instead, which had always re
lieYed the children before.

by the French government is not be:
