of Judge Hobbs. The improvements
in the latter place are wonderful to

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Dear Sir: In my communication Of
last week suggested the proposition
that all people, especially the clergy,
who are eudeayoring TO elevate the
standard of morals and religion should
seek for unity of "heart and mind. B"
But many will ask, Chew can it be
done? or in what way shall we do it?''
One thing have to offer for our con-
sideration, is, that all bigotry and
prejudice should be eliminated or set
aside in regard to what others hold as
truths. We are too apt TO have the
foregone opinion that we are right,
and therefore we are holier than thou.
Ii we purpose looking towards unity
or the lone mind" we should be will
ling to look into our differences with
an impartial study and reflection.
This, consider, is the view Of "chari-
ty to all, and malice towards none,' -
and we are in no way supposed to
wv NhO OilOlo vi NlthS vi ONilCiD IL We
are fully persuaded by impartial and
thorough reasoning and reflection
that what they hold is error from
want of right judgment and proper
education of mind. We should seek
to find wherein we believe alike, and
then endeavor to adjust our differ
ences, if possible for that which is fit
test, purest, most rational and I'M
changeable. The divisions amongst
moralists and religionists are, no
doubt, fruitful sources of weakness
and cause of failure in dra wing men
to accept better state of life; for the
atheist, libertine and sinner will say:
How can know what is truth when
you have not a united platform upon
which to stand and proclaim "the
faith which was once delivered?"
How can l know, when one orator
proclaims from the rostrum, "Do not
trouble yourselves, you will all go to
heaven, it matters not what you may
do" and another cries, "You must
have an ecstacy or experience, or you
are not on the road to heaven -
and another, "You, must have a
change of affections and desires for
things divine or else there is no promise
of salvation" and so on. We might
mention other differences, but suffi
Gent for the time being. Now, think
these things might be rectiied, and
zone faith" one platform adopted
and made suitable for all sorts and
conditions of men. w.

A Diamond Ring thrown to Lolita

An unusual incident occurred last evening
during Lotta's performance of "Musette"
which proved a complete surprise to the viva
cious little actress. During the second act
of the plsv, while Lolita as the heroine and
comedian Bradshaw as William A, were
seated upon the stump that is one of the
accessories of the scene. lady in one of the
private boxes hasterly drew a superb ring of
brillisnts from her finger and nervously threw
the jeweled souvenir at the feet of Lotta The
whole thing was done quickly on the impulse
of the moment, the lady, as she expressed
herself sfterward, being carried away by the
charming little star. Lolita visited the box
at the conclusion of the performance and
thanked the fair giver, who was entirely I'M
known to her, for the valuable present The
ring is composed oftwo large diamonds and
ten smaller ones, two rubies and two sapphires.
In speaking of the incident Miss Lolita said it
reminded her of her experience in California.

Healing Wounded Trees.

On every farm. and at almost every
homestead. where trees of fruit and shade
are grown, more or less loss is suffered
from trees being broken by unruly stock,
wind, etc. 1t is not necessary to suffer
entire loss in all cases, for early attention
will often make good the injury. We
have often re-established broken limbs
and bruised trunks OF trees, by nicely fit
ing the parts back TO place. and binding
on clay mud tightly. A correspondent
says:
II had a very nice May cherry tree in
my yard. The horse got in and broke the
top off, little above the first limb. There
was small splinter OF wood and little
bark at one side. set 1t up and put it in
place as well as it could be done; then
drove a stake in the ground and tied the
tree to the stake firmly Then | took the
grating wax and spread it over as far as
the bark was broken. The result was, the
tree grew, and now il appears as sound
as If it had not been broken"

Pruning Old Apple Trees.

In this section of Ohio, where the apple
crop was very full one the past season
most of the trees will need a season OF
comparative rest and recuperation ant
the present is the most favorable time for
improving their shape and future produc-
tiveness by judicious pruning. and by
manuring and blowing the ground.
Some writers recommend pruning to be
done in spring or in early summer, but
very few farmers will take the time to do
it then. and prefer to prune large tree;
during the winter, when the bark does moi
peel off easily where rubbed by the ladder
or the boot soles, Then. too, it is much
easier getting about in the tree tops when
the branches are free from leaves or bios

A Peculiar Season.
PICKING STRAWBERRIES IN LATE NovEM
BER-APPLE TREES IN Blossom AND VEGE
TATIoN RENEWING LIFE.

The present year will long be remembered
by fruit-growers on both sides of the Hudson
river from meteorological point of view
The freaks ofna,ure in the premature ripen-
ing of fruits have been many, but the most
unusual occurrence SO far reported was the
gathering of ripe strawberries on the Lyons
fruitfar situated about midway between Mil
ION and Marlboro, on Saturday last. The ber-
ries were picked by Ensign Lyons, and he
gathered a basketful. The fruit grew on
vines which gave fair crop in June last.
The berries picked in the middle OF
November were of ordinary size and of very
fine flavor, A like occurrence never hap
pened before in the river counties. The
latest of the late peaches matured abnormally
large, and not a few half-bushel baskets sold
as high as $40 each in New York. James
A. Staples of Marlboro received at the rate
of $50 per bushel at wholesale for a part OF
his crop, and Wilson u. Mackey netted Sl4
per bushel for some of his fruit. The peach
crop in its entirety, however was a failure.
The last of the Late Salwavs have been
picked from the trees and shipped to market.
During the phenomenslly mild weather of
the past week, with heavy fogs in the early
morning, apple trees burst into blossom in a
number of localities. and vegetation OF
various kinds which was supposed to have
become dormant in October, has taken new
lease of life and surprised the oldest farmer:
and horticulturalists. The mild balmy
weather has also made fall pasture good in
the dairy districts, which should have .
tendency to make milk and butter plentiful
and cheap. Old farmers say the mild fall
will be followed by very severe winter

SOMETHING WRoNG.-An Irishman,
seeing the gas lighted shortly after his
arrival in London, examined the fix
ture closely, went to a store and pur-
chased one like it, threw up a good
job, and returned post-haste to Ire
land.
"An' why is it ye're home so soon?"
inquired his old mother
''Shure, whisht it is, mother. It's a
fortune I've brought behind me. Wait
bit, an I'll show ye.'
Pat accordingly proceeded to make
a hole in the mud wall, and to fix the
gas pipe therein.
''In about the waste of minute yer
eyes'll be fit to hang me hat on" he
remarked to the wondering family, as
he struck match and applied it to
the end of the pipe. Match after
match burned away without pro-
ducing the brilliant flame which Pat
had seen in London. He sat down
and scratched his head in despair

as it went in London, I'd "a made no

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of the Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all the Suns printed and sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense, wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of Mount
Copernicus in the moon, then back to Printing
House square, and then three-quarters of the
way back to the moon again.
But the san is written for the inhabitants of
the earth; this same strip of intelligence would
girdle the globe twenty-Seven or twenty-eight
times.
If every buyer Of copy of the Sa,e during
the past year has spent only one hour over il,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent an
other hour, this newspaper in 1883 has afTored
the human race thirteen thousand years of
steady reading. night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
most popular of American newspapers, or OF
its influence the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
The san is, and will continue to be, a news
paper which tells the truth without fear of con-
sequences, which gets at the facts no matter
how much the process costs, which presents the
news of all the world without waste of words
and in the most readable shape, which is work
ing with all its heart for the cause of honest
government and which therefore believes that
the Republican party must go, and must go in
this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know the Sua, you like it already, and
you will read it with accustomed diligence and
profit during what is sure to be the most inter-
esting year in its history. If you do not yet
know the S1t2, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
