Points Oh Pruning.

As soon as the vine puts forth sufii.
cient wood, the method of pruning tC
be adopted must be decided upon. Ev.
cry delay in the normal constitution of
the stock is degradation of the vine
and a postponement of remunerative
production.
Not only is it necessary to train the
vine in the first place in the shape it is
to assume, but its frame must be CON
pleie without delay in order TO have
well established vines. without a de.
formity, and in which the sap circulates
freely, and properly nourishes each shoi
spur of each fruit branch.
Pruning may be done during reposs of
the vegetation--that is to say, from the
time all the leaves have allen off until
the sap begins to circulate, which is
about the end of February. The vines
must not be pruned, however, when the
weather is too cold.
Whatever method of pruning is to be
adopted, the treatment Of the vine fer
the first two years is the same.
The vines being planted and earihed
up, each plant must be cut down so as
to leave only two eyes above ground.
These young vines, sometimes, pu
forth wood with vigor; very often, OF
fhe contrary, but very feeble shoots are
developed the first year.
The first year the lowest shoots must
be pruned, leaving one or two eyes, and
the Others radically suppressed, while
keeping the old wood. In the case of
the feeble vines, it suffices to cut off the
upper shoots close to the old wood, with.
out pruning the lowest one at all. The
old wood, without being injurious, is
useful to fasten the young shoots to, and
prevents the vine from being covered up
with the earth during plowing; it should
not be cut off until the second pruning.

A PeriIOus Trip.

Will Robinson, a local bicyc.ist, of
Washington, one day last week, in the
presence of number of witnesses, per-
formed the extraordinary and perilous
feat OF riding the length of the side cop
ing of Cabin Johns bridge on his wheel.
Recently paragraph was printed in
Philadelphia paper stating that the feat
had been accomplished, but no names
were given. Robinson, who has execu-
ted many wonderful feats on the byci-
Gle, such as riding down the stairway
at the east front of the Capitol, request
ed some friends to accompany him to
Cabin Johns bridge. The coping is only
about fifteen inches wide, and is nearly
300 feet long. The bridge is the longest
single span in the world. Upon reach
ing the bridge Robinson informed his
companions that he proposed to ride his
bicycle over the coping. They urged
him not to attempt it, rs the bridge is
several hundred feet high and the cop
ing is beveled on the side, thus reducing
the top level to about one foot in width.
Robinson, however, said he was deter
mined to make the effort. His machine
was lifted upon the coping, and, assisted
by his companions, he mounted it and
started on his hazardous journey. He
displayed great nerve and sent his ma
chine along swiftly but cautiously.
When three-fourths of the distance had
been travelled he tilted his machine for
ward and rode the remainder of the way
on the large wheel alone. The task
looked almost impossible, but when he
reached the other side safely and dis
mounted he was enthusiastically cheered
by the large number of persons present.
He will repeat his adventure at an early
day in the presence of a photographer.

The Sea Serpent.

A sea serpent is causing great excite
ment to the people who dwell along the
Hudson river. A large number Of per-
sons have seen it, and it shows itself
nearly every day. Carl Fisher, Of Rom
dout, saw the serpent the other day,
and says it was making its way north,
with its head extended about five feet
out Of the water. 1t veered from its
course long enough to chase two
young men who were rowing in small
boat. They reached the Duchess county
shore in safety, but terribly frightened.
The serpentine monster grew furious
when it saw the young men had escaped.
1t dashed the water with its tail, which
seemed to be about seven.y-five feet
distant from its head, Its head was as
large around as flour barrel, and its
eyes, Of greenish hue, looked "deyil-
ish." Before starting up the Hudson
again, it squirted from its mouth
stream Of foamy stuff, resembling long
shavings from pine plank. Captain
Conkling, of the propeller John II.
Cordts, also saw the serpent. He gave
it the right of way in the channel. 1t
was seen next morning abreast of the
Flatbush ice-houses. A man named
Jonah, who brings ice to Rondout from

first beheld it he took it 20 be an inn
mense tree floating leisurely along with
the tide. This notion was dispelled
when he saw the supposed tree throw
about twenty feet of its length out of
the water.
