A TALE OF DOMESTIC INFELICITY
FROM DURBANNAH.-The gossips have
been busy for some time discussing
the domestic affairs of Hugh MADEIRA.
Numerous stories have been circulat-
ed about Hugh that were none
to his credit, and that were no
doubt started maliciously, with the
view of injuring him. Investigation
shows these stories to have little or
no foundation. His wife has been
alleging that he was improperly init
mate with one of her sisters and on
numerous and Sundry occasions has
assaulted him with the poker, broom
stick or whatever else she could lay
hands upon. Their home life has
been so unpleasant for months past
that Hugh could not stay at his own
house, but resided with his mother.
Every time he went home he was or
dered to "skip" and in term far more
emphatic then complimentary. On
Friday afternoon last he went over
to have the garden plowed, but was
met with a storm of abuse; got Sc
server beating with a hoe handle in
the hands of his wife and was driven
off the place with orders not to re-
turn. On this occasion she was
REINFORCED by her father, Raymond
Griggs, of Clinton district, who ably
assisted with the swearing and en-
couraged her to "give it to him"
MADEIRA Immediately swore out war
rants for both of them, but some OBJ
lection was made and they were re-
leased. Peace warrants were immed-
lately issued, but before they could
be served Griggs had gone home
1t is understood that he will be ar
rested and bound over.
Since the above was put in type
the parties were arraigned before
Squire Hayes and had the hearing
postponed until Tuesday. May
9Th.

How TO MAKE MoRGANTowN A
SUMMER REsoRT-Morgantown is
now favorite place for many sum-
mer visitors. Its pleasant location,
excellent hotels and agreeable socie-
ty have made it popular. The open
ing of the b. u O. railroad will
largely increase the number of peo-
pie who will come. Now the next
thing to do is to erect water and gas
works. The pure crystal stream of
soft mountain water that flows from
our artesian well at the rate of many
hundred gallons per hour, if utilized,
would make the place famous, and
would annually bring here hundreds
of money spending visitors who
would fill the pockets of our people
and 60 away feeling that they had
gotten the worth of their money.
There is nothing that we can do that
will be as valuable as to utilize
this water. There is nothing that
can be substituted for pure soft
water. There is nothing so condu-
sive to good health. There are few
items that would induce a man to
select this place for a home quicker
than to know there was an mex
haustible supply of this water. The
improvement Company will erect gas
works; that much is certain. A
town subscription IF $4,000 will in.
sure the erection of water works that
will supply every individual in town
and as many more as may come
with perfectly pure water. Can
Morgantown afford to let this oppor-
tunity pass unimproved?

TINS, from IN unknown contem-
porary, expresses our views exactly:
mo sensible man should get mad
because a newspaper 'duns' him for
money. A dun is not an impeach
ment of a subscribers integrity, but
is simply the outcropping of pub
lisher's necessities For instance a
thousand men owe us from two to
six dollars each We have to dun
them all in order to get enough to
pay our expenses. Instead of getting
angry ard stopping the paper because
the publisher asks him for what is
honestly due, the subscriber should
thank the editor for waiting on him
so patiently, and pay up promptly
like little man." and in addition to
arrearages, pay a year in advance.

Some Of my readers may have
flowers that they wish to preserve
through the coming winter without
much expense. The Floral lnstruc-
tor gives directions for cheap but
thoroughly effective method; dig
out a pit five or six feet thick, with
sloping sides; place around this,
on the outside surface, an ordinary
hotbed frame covered with glass
sash; bank up around the frame
with long stable manure, and cover
al with old carpet or shutters OF
some kind. The main point to
bear in mind is to give air freely
on every mild day by fitting the
sash, and to uncover the glass when
the sun shines not forgetting 70

INSECTS IN THE ORCHARD.

1t is important that arrange
ments should be made by the own
ers of orchards for the free run OF
sheep, swine, and poultry, for
devouring the infested fruit which
drops from the trees. There are
three insects which need special
attention, the codling moth, cur
culiO and apple maggOt. Sheep
will pick up and devour the iniest-
ed and dropping specimens OF APP
pies, plums and pears, and SWINE
will do the same, but they are not
so vigilant. Hens pick up fallen
plums early in the season while
the frdit is small. Some persons
enormously assert that hens devour
the insects alone, but these persons
do not seem to reflect that hens
cannot reach up to the tree-tops
and get at the curculiOS while they
are depositing their eggs, nor seize
the larvW as they are leaving the
young fruit to enter tina ground
The useful work of the poultry Is
in devOuring both the infested fruit
and contained Larvae at one stroke.
In addition to the Earring process,
there is some reason to believe
that Paris green may be success
fully used for the curculiO, either
by acting on the young Larvae or in
some Othe~ way. There is there
fore no difficulty in meeting the
curculiO if proper means are used.
With the cooling moth there are
two well proved remedies-Spray-
ing with Paris green, and devOur-
ing by sheep and swine. For the
apple maggOt, which comes later
III the season, there appears as yet
to be no remedy devised but beat
ing of the infested fruit, for sheep
and swine to gather.
These insects do not always con-
fine themselves to the fruits which
they are commonly supposed to
specially attack. The apple and
the pear are often ruined by the
curculio. Prof. Maynard collected
a large number of the young APP
pies, which dropped from a tree
with an abundant crop, when they
were half an inch or more in diane
ter. Ont Of 500, it was found that
all but three were punctured with
the plum curculiO, and not Infested
with the cOdling moth. 1t is well
therefore to make provision to
meet these destroyers with ample
appliances; and the orchardist who
raises fruit for market, or for home
use, should have enough animals
to take care of the depredatOrs, as
we'll as to aid in manuring the soil.
Sheep sometimes attack the bark
of young trees, and we have known
swine to strip the stems; but the
use of repelling wash has held the
sheep in check, and a few twigS of
sweet brier or Usage orange bound
around the trunk have kept swine
at a respectful distance. lfin adj
ditiOn to the above mentioned
modes of protecting the crop, the
use of poisOns is added, there will
be a reasonable certainty of having
fair and handsome specimens

A THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR JOB.

The head clerk of a large firm in
Charlestown, Mass, promised an old
customer one day half a bale of
Russia duck, to be on hand at one
o'clock when the man was to leave
town with his goods. The firm was
out of duck, and the clerk went over
to Boston to buy some. Not find
ing truckman, he hired a man to
take it over on his wheelborrow.
Finishing other business, on his
return to Charleston the clerk found
the man not half way over the
bridge, sitting on his borrow, half
dead with the heat.
What was to be done? 1t was
then half-past twelve, and the
goods were promised at one. There
was not a moment TO loose. In
spite of the heat, the dust, and his
fins clothes, the young man seized
the wheelborrow and pushed on.
Pretty soon Il rich merchant,
whom the young man knew very
well, riding on horseback, overlook
him. what said be, Mr.. Wilder
turned truckmanp
Yes answered the clerk. The
foods are promised at one o'clock,
and my man has given out; but
you see am determined to be as
good as my word
Good, good psaid the gentleman,
and started on.
Calling at the store where the
young man was employed, he told
his employer what he had seen.
and I want to tell him. said the
gentleman, that when he goes into
business for himself my name is at
his service for thirty thousand dol
lars
Reaching the store, which he did
in time, the high price set on his
conduct made amend for the heat,
anxiety, and fatigue of the job.
Keeping his word-you see how
important it is regarded. 1t is one
of the best kinds of capital a bust
ness man can have. To be worth
much to anybody, boy must form
character for reliability. He
must be depended upon. And you
would like to know, perhaps, that
this young man became one Of the
most eminent merchants of his day,
and known far and wide, both in
Europe and this country. His
name is s. Y. S. Wilder, the first
president of the American Track
Society.

Cider.

There is no beverage more whole
some or refreshing than good cider,
and now is the time for its prepare
ton as well for drinking as for
vinegar. Our readers will pardon
the suggestion that cleanliness IS
of the first Importance in cider
making, and yet it is often sadly
neglected. No impurities, such as
partly decayed fruit, apples which
have dirt or sand on them, or any
other offensive matter should be
used until after a thorough cleans
ing. Another important thing is,
not to attempt to make cider from
green or unmatured fruit. Gull
the fruit carefully with reference to
maturity, soundness aud variety,
and then, with clearly handling,
cider can be produced which no
farmer will be ashamed to place on
his table before guests Of cultivat-
ed tastes and if he has a surplus
for market it will always command
a good price. We will further
suggest that apples of different
characteristics should be never
mixed in the cider mill or trough
except with great care. Sweets,
Sub.acids and acids, if equally
matured and properly combined,
may make a good cider, but it is
best to work them separately.
These are hasty thoughts only,
and not designed toapproach many
Of the facts connected with cider
making and its preservation.

81 some description, or the trees
fail to grow well, or to produce
GOOD fruit. 1t is a mistake to per
nit grass to grow in an orchard and
cnt it every year, and apply but a
a slight dressing of manure once IN
a half dozen years. When a crop
of grass is taken from an orcn"'u
that is reOducing fruit in consider,
able quantities, it should receive a
GOOD dressing of manure every
war: this will not only secure a
large crop of grass, but it will very
much increase the size anu iiu'
nrove the quality of the irult.
When an orchard is to be dressed
with stable manure it should al
ways be applied in the Au'um iu;
but if ouiek-acting, commercial
fertilizers be applied, the Spring Is
the best time to apply It,
Our opinion is that barn manure
is not the best manure 10 Apply u

Experiments seem to indicate 'hat

WAYS found when phosphoric ac'u
has been applied in the form OIL
ground bone to an orchard that
has been dressed with barn ma
nure, it has very much improved
its condition. But ground bone
alone is not sufficient to supply all
of the wants of the trees 1t IS I'M
portant to apply potash to keep
both the trees and the grass IN a
vigorous condition. Potash may
be applied in wood ashes, or IN
muriate Of potash, when applied IN
ashes; thirty bushels should be
applied with each 1900 pounds OF
bone; when muriate of potash is
used, 800 pounds should be applied
with 1900 pounds of bone; one
thousand pounds of the mixture OF
bone and potash should be applied
TO an acre, and if large crop OF
grass as we'll as fruit is taken from
the land, the fertilizer should be
applied every year.
An orchard may be kept in good
condition with a much less amount
of fertilizer if the crop of grass be
left to decay on the land when
this is done, as soon as the grass
is fully grown heavy roller should
be run over it; this leaves a clean,
soft surface for the fruit to drop
on; but in most localities there is
too much risk Of fire to leave the
grass to dry in an orchard; were it
not for this danger there are many
orchards that it would be economy
to leave the grass to decay under
the trees, for by so doing it heeps
the surface of the soil very light
and loose, and at the same time
cool and moist; it also thins out
the grass roots, and makes the
grass come up so thin that it inter
feres very little with the growth Of
the trees.-Mass. Plowman.
