Contrary to the expectations of last winter, says 8 Mansfield correspondent, many of the peach trees were we'll covered with blossoms, especially those in secluded or protected places, and if no further acci- dent befalls them we shall have good many peaches in the town. Contrary to the accepted theories of fruit growers, the trees planted on southeast exposures are the ones that have withstood the cold best. The apple trees, also, are covered with blossoms, and a large crop is looked for, from trees, too, that bore very abundantly last year. Grass has never looked better at this season of the year. -es ss s. r..r .. p

MAKING ROCK-WORK.

When constructing rockery don't form plan in your head of what your rockery is to look hkes Yonfneed mo plan, The principal need is to get some one to draw some rough scraggy stonea for youths Tougher and more ichep covered the bet ter, Direct that the stones be unloaded in the place where your rockery is to be. The best place for it is in some retired corner, where there is considerable shade. Nothing is more out of place than an erupr ton of rocks on well-kert lawn. After the rocks are unloaded don 'ttfy to arrange them. Let your rockery be built in just that unconscious fashion, if you want it to be success. Any attempt to srearrange the stones will spoil it. The effect should be. one of careless,E natural arrangefnent and the dumping down of those stones without any other object in view than that of getting them unloaded, will produce the nearest resemblance to natures way of do- ing such things. Procure earth-from the woods if possible-and put over and among | the rocks, and with a stick work it in among them. The free use of water will wash the soil into the crevices. When you have all the openings filled, get bits of blackberry, roots, sYild Tfernss snd, such other plants sas you sdsually find growing among rocks and thrust them into the soil, and wait.
 l. By and by thereward will come. You Twill have rockery that hasn't prim look about 1t. You will have 8 rockery that doesn't do violence to your sense of. the ''eternal fitness of things" by having all manner of foreign plants growing on it. Only wild plants are needed there. You Ewant a tangle of vine and fern, just as you 1see 1t in the woods and pastures, with bare rocks jutting out here, there, everywhere, half covered, half concealed. Leave it to take care of itself. The more freedom it has, the more satisfactoEyit will bee Build one in thia way, and eomtrasts it with the elaborate affairs in some fashionable gar dens, which suggest the mason and an architect every time you look ct them.- As5seTsern AgTicttI It1rist for June.

Hartford Courant: How the annual re- turn of the day sacred to the memory of the union dead brings to our mind the fact that the terrible war is a thing of the past, and that those who marched to the defense of the great republic are rapidly joining their comrades who fell on the field Since last memorial day Mcdowell, Hancock, Mcclellan and Grant have gone over to the majority, and with them how many thousands of those, unknown to fame, who marched in the ranks of the grandest army the world has ever seen Those who to-day, all over the land, pay the tribute of affection and remembrance to their departed comrades are on the downhill side of life, their heads are grow ing gray and their steps have little of the elasticity of twenty-five years ago. The sad experience of the four years struggle made young men old. They lived more in that time than in an ordinary score of years of peaceful life, and what they gave up for their country they cannot recall if they would, and they would not if they could. To-day, at least, the country hon. ors the veterans of the war and gives some little thought to the sacrifice they made. Tomorrow and for the rest of the year the critics will continue their indignant grum- bling at the amount paid for pensions.

A No11E IN THE BINGHAM CASE.

of she USsS asRess Samuel a lnS Bingham, formerly cashier of the Wind ham National. Bank The circumstances of the hearing at Norwich, in which Bing- ham was charged with abstracting and de- stroying a note for 5000, and the Grant & Ward complications with the bank are familiar, After the hearing before Con- missioner Penney at Norwich 1t was learn ed by District Attorney Stanton that there was in the possession of the bank note for $1O, ,000 draRn by William H. Bingham of New York, @ son of Samuel Bingham.
 This note the bank considered somewhat doubtful. When the Grant & Ward fail ure came the bank had loaned to Grant &
 Ward the sum of $15, 900. This was $5, ,000 in excess of the limit allowed by law.
 This was in two noteA of$10, 900 and $5, ,000
 When the trouble came up they took the $5, GOO note out and substituted for it a mote for $5,000 signed by the president and endorsed by two'directors. This last note fell due in July, 1884, and was not then paid but was taken out and destroy ed. The destruction of the note was one of the charges against Bingham This, in
 brief, was the way the matter stood when
 MT. Stanton made. preparations to present the case for the government He found that to make a strong case in regard to percentages on Grant & Ward paper he must have -J,- D. Fish's books, properly swern to by Fishh, in court. His next step was to see fine could obtain Fish as witness, and on this, point, he took the opinion of the attorney general, who re- ported that Fish could not under the statutes of the United States be taken from prison at Auburn, N. T., and brought into ConreeticutsJ He is under confine- ment on a. ten years sentence At this point the counsel for the defense asked whether if the Bingham note for SIG, ,000 were paid and the 5000 of which the bank had been it was claimed defrauded fby the destruction of the note for that amount were made good, and Mr. Bing- ham should retire from the board, com promise could not be effected B. fA@ This question was also referred to the attorney general, and he replied that he | would sanction such a course as Mir. Stan
 ton should, with the approval of the court, deem best for all parties. This reply was
 communicated to Mir, Hyde, counsel for Bingham. Money was raised to pay the | $10, 900 note and MT. Samuel Bingham hav- ing sold his stock in the bank the rest of the missing 5000 was raised by few of the directors of the bank. This not only
 made the bank good but left surplus of about III, 900 on it's books. The note for $5O00 being paid, and the testimony of Fish being unattainable, Mir. Stanton tho't 1t best to enter nolle, which was done. The bank has been recently examined and isfn perfectly sound condition, and has mo doubtful or suspended paper. It is be- lieved that it's troubles are entirely over and that it will rapidly gain confidence and increase it's line of deposits. = CourGnt.

A man is loping over the green prairie, looking out from under his broad sombrero at the lazy cattle and the prairie dogs playing ill the sun. Sud denly there Is sound like giants throat swallowing q chokea pnOut of terror. The prairie dogs run into their holes, and g moment later come out cautiously, curious and frightent d. The tall reed-like grass is waving where the horse and rider were just now. The antelope on the craAt of the divide wonder look round them watch fully. But there5is nothing to fear-no man in sight. He was going to town, that rider. with the wages of hard winters work in his pocket, riding his favorite 'bronch6, dtessed iii the buckskins he had fringed in the winter evenings, ready to show the foolish girls how brave he looked in his rude attire Where is he now & ekn a grave of slimy shivering mud-alkali paste, blue with nameless tint of putrid 'eyes before he could close his lids.
