Thomas Maxwell,s Case.

Mr.. Editor The special examiner
of the pension office, Mr.. Curran, has
been investigating the pension case of
Thomas Maxwell of Waitsfield, who is
receiving pension of $50 month.
We understood that a report had been
received at the pension office that Max
well was receiving a higher rate of pen
sion than he ought to for his disability
We did not learn as the examiner in
vestigated one matter that might affect
the rate of pension. Soon after the
war Mr.. Maxwell met with an accident
and had narrow escape from death.
He was crossing the bridge over Mad
river, near Lloyd Wells, in Waitsfield,
on horseback, when the horse broke
through the planking and jumped over
the side of the bridge, with Maxwell on
his back, striking upon the rocks be-
low. The horse was killed and Max
well so badly injured that no one at the
time supposed he would live. He re-
manned at the house nearest to the
bridge for many weeks, under ply
sician's care, unable to be moved to his
home. He brought suit against the
town of Waitsfeld for damages. The
case was entered in Washington county
court, and after jury was empanneled
and the trial about to commence the
town settled with Maxwell and paid
him 5000. In the writ, which was
made by 7. j. Deavitt, Esq, of Mont
pelier Chen of Moretown), it was stated
that his disabilities, which were very
great, were due to the injuries received
at the bridge, and were permanent and
lasting in their character, and it claimed
several thousand dollars damages of the
town. AT that time, we believe, he
was not in receipt of a pension.
He received a wound in the army,
for which he received a small pen
sion for a short time only. After
the accident at the bridge his pen
sion was restored and has been since
increased. He employed General James
S. Peck of Montpelier to prosecute his
claim for pension. AS we understand
the law, if MaXwell's disability results
from his injuries received at the bridge,
he is not entitled to pension. If it re-
suits from the wound received in the
United States service, he is entitled to
pension If it results from both, it is
no doubt difficult question to deter
mine how much of his disability is due
to each injury. X.

Selected Storp.
But Youth Is Best.

The poet sighed for his lost youth,
Fled, never to return, while we,
Whose young blood bounds adown our veins,
Look forward to the years to be.
The years to bel Who has not dreamed
OF all that longedfor time might hold
Hope forward throws his glittering rays,
And floods the time to come with gold.
But youth is best-the time of life
When hearts with fulsome Joy expand;
When life is one continued JOY,
panorama vast and grand

What is Pedigree.

Pedigree may have very high value,
or it may have none at all. If sheep
with an unLroken ancestry of thousand
years, or two thousand years, has very
poor constitution, or a bald head, it is
more likely to impart those faults to its
offspring, than if it belonged to a breed
gilmore recent origin. ltmay, for this
reason, be even less valuable in every
respect, than a high-grade. Pedigree is
like a long train of cars; it rams with
strong momentum, and it runs straight.
An animal without peiigree, originat-
ing yesterday, is like single car;it rocks
to and fro, ii is liable to swing off the
track.
Breeders like TO claim for their fuVorite
stock, something akin to insallibilitv;
they say, in effect; Given n thousand
years pedigree in your breeding flock.
and you cannot get an inferior animal.
But this logiccannot stand. Twin rams,
twin bulls, own brothers in family,
disproye it every day.
Yet wewould not be thought to detract
anything from the transcendent value OF
pure blood. Often grade of three
fourIhs or seyen-eighths blood, sired by a
strong-blooded ram, will, to all appear.

Training Orchard Trees.

II the grower has been SO unfortunate
as to secure weak and slender trees for
planting, he must make them stocky by
good cultivation and by heading back.
Induce vigorous growth by liberal
application of manure if the soil is not
strong, and by frequent stirring of the
soil. Keep off all insects 1t will not
be necessary to cut the tree back to u
mere stump, as is often done. After the
proper form ofthe young top is decided
upon, pinch back or cut ofi'the tips OF all
twigs, and repeat the operation during
the whole season. If the tree has We ry
strong leader it may be necessary to cut
it off entirely. In windy place slender
trees will need to be stakeI. We do not
believe in the advice of many that it is an
injury to the tree to stake it. Some of
the finest and straighest trees we know
were staked for the first two years after
being set. If stalking can be avoided
conveniently, il would, of course, be folly
TO resort lit. 1t is good practice to
stamp a sod firmly against the tree on
the side towards which it leans. If the
sod is large and properly placed, it will
usually answer all the purposes of a stake
There ale two troubles connected with
stalking: The string or band is apt to gall
the tree, and the stake protects the tree
from the wind in one direction only. To
avoid the Calling we have found it best
to Use strip of ticking or flannel an
inch or SO wide, and tie snugly about the
tree. Such band will yield enough to
allow the trunk to expand with growth.
Rye straw, when cut before the grain is
ripe, makes excellent bands. A stake
upon each side of the tree, with band
tied across, will keep the tree in place
much better than single stake.

A WAY of 0ImprOvipgn angus Cattle.


The Scotch breeders Cf Black Polled
"attle are rather 10th TO acknowledge
that they have been improved by stolen
crosses of Shorthorn bulls on their caws.
But as an illustration of the fact, we find
an amusing account in recent London
Live Stock Journal:
Zone SabLath," it says, "when all the
people were at church except Il certain
breeder of these doddies and his herds
man, they took the opportunity of mat.
ing one of the best Angus heiiers, whict
was in season, with good, young Short
horn bull belonging to neighbor Or
course, no other person was any the wiser,
for the calf came as black as your hat, as
it always does out of an Angus cow
Yes, said Mr., Drew, the relator of the
story, and fine lot of cattle in that herd
are descended from the heiier calf which
was got that way"
Mr.. Drew was the breeder of a super
ior stain of what passed for 'Improved
Clydesdale" horses. But they were far
from being pure Scotch, for they were
made by cross with the Derbyshire, and
we believe also by a dash of the English
Shire prizes at all thesn, finally winning
the Champion Prize. The directors
after this had her portrait taken and
hung up on the walls oftheir room, as q
guide in after years to the true character
OF Clydesdale breed. Mr.. Drew never
attempted to conceal these facts, hut like
an honorable man publicly spoke ofthen
ON all proper occasions. When he died
his stock Of what was called Improvec
Clydesdale," were acknowledged to b.
the best and most perfect of all of tn,
herd in Scotland.
