Vincentown.

1eON III. Cdrtudn Is having some
very good meetings and we hope they
are doing great deal of good.
Thanks were given in our churches
in 1.-THE morning and turkey or chicken
was taken shortly after.
The Rev. John B. Haines did not
turn up at church as was expected on
Thanksgiving evening. We suppose
it was on account of the bad weather.
Those who were out enjoyed the meet
ing very much.
Elwood S. Haines was the host of
the entire family on Thanksgiving and
we think from the face of the
domino" as he appeared at the end
of the lane with some of the guests to
take the train, they must have had
good time and plenty to eat.
Our shoe company have received
quite lift by having the privilege
of the influence of man who has
good knowledge of tie business, and
push enough in him to make it go.
Caleb S. Ridgway, of Lumberton, is
said to be one of the directors and his
experience alone IN such enterprises
is sufficient to warrant success. We
believe the incidental expenses will
be cut down several cents ON each pair
of shoes and by so doing quite a nice
;itsss profit wilGnnualizee5 Push is
Y fssfd ne bur.

Doubtless conductor Byron Grigg
smiled as he stood at the table on
Thanksgiving day holding in his hand
a keen Carrying knife and looking with
a wafery mouth down upon two Ene
Juicy "aomestisated" ducks, each
handsomely decorated with choice
lot,of green celery.
We took peep in the shoe factory
on Wednesday and found it to be
real bee hive of industry. We enjoy
ed seeing so many of the young ladies
Of the town engaged in such pleasant
and lucrative employment. Mrs. Min
gin is inst far enough advanced in
years to fill agreeably the Office assign
ed her, that Of fore-lady, while Ma tie
Brown ofiiciates in the capacity of
book keeper. The other ladies en-
ployed there are Lizzie Griffith, Phoe-
be Bartlett, Ada Grammer, Mary Nc
Farland, Mary Bowker. Jennie Taylor,
Lizzie Darwood, Sarah Cotton, Susie
Priekitt, George Brown and others.
Everything seemed to go smoothly on
just like clock work.
The happiest man in Vincentown
last week was Jimmy" Stockton
brakeman on the short branch road
called the birthstone neck distress"
Jimmy is dog man, and when his
famous female setter presented him
with nlne blooded Laveraek squatter
pups, Jimmy" was overjoyed. But
every dog has its day and Thanksgiv-
ing day was Jinimy's new dogs last.
On his arrival home he found what
was supposed TO be a genuine Lew
ellen setter, which was a present from
"sam" Thomas, of Camden, but the
dog had full possession of the
premises and refused to let Jimmy"
in or his family out. AS soon, how
ever, as telephone communications
was brought to hear Eom the family,
there was heard remark something
like this" I'll show "Sam' Thomas,
whether this Cog lives here or whether
do" and with this. Jimmy procured
club something similar to the one
Cain slew Abel with and it was aston
ishing TO see, the dog butt its brains
out against that clEb. 1t proved to be
a Spitz dog of the most malignant
type, and Jimmy" without doubt has
done the villsgp aAggSst kindness in
the performance Of act and while
1T may have bsgf on Jimmy it
proved death to the animal.

ure. Prepare the soil well by deep
working with spade or pillow. In ten
years six properly planted trees will
be worth more than dozen that
were set as if they were posts. In
digging nursery trees many roots are
cut off. Offset this by shortening
the top, cutting back each branch
one-third or one-half. Unfruitiul
trees need manure at the roots, and
opening or thinning out of the head.
If there is no strawberry patch on the
farm, make one. Never mind the
kind; plant that which can be most
readily had. Any is better than
none. So with currants, raspberries
and black berries; make a beginning.
Every farmers family should have
all the grapes it can eat. Plant o
dozen vines Of the Concord now, and
afterwards consider what better var

FARM HINTS FOR APRIL.

April is a busy month from Prince
Edwards Island to Puget Sound
When spring comes in the high

when this disappears the ground is

get out the manure, the work goes so
much quicker and easier on runners
than on wheels. One Of the earliest
jobs is narrowing winter grain. The
advantage of a thorough narrowing
with a smoothing harrow is so great
that it pays not to SOW grass III the
autumn, but at the time of narrowing
in the spring. Grain sowed broad
cast by itself should always be bar
rowed several times. MuItirudes Of
weeds are thus killed, and the stir
ring of the soil is great advantage
Grass sown by itself will almost uni
formly give satisfaction. The earlier
spring grains are sown the better
Forage crops, such as peas and oats
spring rye, wheat and vetches OF
peas, should be put in in succession
once in two weeks. Certain SEEDS
of root crops are very sensitive 10
dry weather. Parsnips must be so"n
very early an admirable crop iOr
milk, and for neat cattle. Manages
and sugar beets are best put III
early; but carrots at any time DE-
fore midsummer. The tendency Oh
good practice is to grow more roots
green forage, and fodder, either iof
curing or ensiloing. Do not let
manure heaps heat; work them over
or get them under ground. April

Cleveland and the Senate.

The Senate has been maneuvring
I0r some time to get into good posi-
ton to attack the President on his re-
movals, but thus far it has been awk-
Sardly done and barren of results.
While obviously seeking an issue with
the President, the Senate has very stu
,liously avoided getting within range
If the Presidents fire
While in point of fact seeking to
Iorce the President to give his reasons
for the exercise of the discretion with
which he charged by his clear con-
Stitutionai prerogatives, the Senate
has skirmished around the Cabinet
officers by inquiries or demands for
documents failed to guide the Execu-
tive in the discharge of the duties i'm
posed upon him by his high office
The Senate seeks to assault the Ex-
ecutive prerogatives by bombarding
the subordinate departments, but it is
pretty evident now that if the SEN
ate wants a tussle with the executive
authority on appointments it will be
compelled to face the President and
exchange blows directly with him, and
the cOwardly man9uvring OF the Sen
ate proves that it does not desire such
"a battle. 1t is safe to assume that
President Cleveland will treat the Sen
ate with the utmost courtesy as an
independent coordinate branch of
the government, whose actions can
not be inquired into by the Executive,
and maintain the same independent
rights for the Executive, and it is also
safeto assume that he will not permit
his prerogatives and responsibilities to
be assumed by any Of the subordinate
department of the administration.
If the Senate wants the Presidents
reasons for his official acts, it must APP
ply to him for them, and when his
rights and duties are thus recognized
he will be able to answer for himself
and for his Office, and | hazard little
in saying that at least until the SEN
ate subjects itself to inquiry as to its
reasons for rejecting or confirming
appointments the President will de-
cline to give to the Senate his reasons
for the manner in which he exercises
his prerogatives,

KILLING of Capt. Crawford.

WASHINGTON, January 2S,-Gener-
al Sheridan to-day received dispatch
from Gen. Crook confirming the re-
port Of killing of Capt. Crawford, in
Mexico, by the Mexicans, on the night
If the 11th instant, and the probable
surrender of Geronimo and his band
Of renegade Apaches.
1t seems Capt, Crawford's command
attacked the Indians in their camp,
about 200 miles beyond the border
line in Mexico, and in the midst of the
attack was surprised by shower of
bullets from an unexpected source.
1t was soon discovered that the at
tacking force was Mexicans. who,
when the firing ceased, said they had
mistaken Crawford's command for the
Apaches. A parley between the two
commands followed, when it was
learned that Cept Crawford was NOR
tally wounded, bullet having pierced
his brain, and that on the Mexican
side the commanding officers and five
men were killed outright.
In the meantime the Apaches had
escaped, but afterwards Geronimo
came in and agreed to meet General
Crook on the border line to make
terms for a surrender. There are %
hostile bucks in Geronimo's band, and
it is expected tnat they will reach the
point agreed upon about the 4th Of
February.
Captain Crawford did not regain
consciousness after being shot but did
not die until the 18th instant. He ewas
carried with the command for seven
days. He was buried at Nacari
Great regret is expressed for his death
at the war department. He was a
very gallant officer, and one OF the
'est Indian fighters in the army He
was General Crooks right hand man,
md has been foremost in the hunt
for hostile Apaches.
