New YORK, June 3d-A. M.-There is an
exceedingly slim chance that the proposed
fight between Sullivan and Mitchell will
take place. The law, represented by
Superintendent Murray, has knocked them
both out in the first round. Pat Sheedy,
manager of the affair, had slight hopes
that he would find some way to eyade the
decision Of the Court of Appeals until
yesterday. He called upon Superintendent
Murray, but the latter was inexorable and
will not permit the fight unless Sheedy
gets out 4 theatrical license. The Mayor
will not give the license, and Sheedy's

MoRRIsrowN On. j. July 2d.-The cause
of the Atlantic giant powder explosion at
McCainesville will probably never be

work at 7 A. NJ. to-day, so that business
could be suspended from Saturday until
Tuesday morning. The explosion occurred
in the mixing-room. The building was
blown into splinters, and fragments Of the
bodies of the workmen were picked up 500
taken from the branches of trees MANY
yards away The largest portion of body
yet found will not weigh fifteen pounds.
An immense excavation was made where
the building stood, and devastation is ap-

Pruning, When and How.

The jobbing gardeners and others,
who 90 about trimming obey often
call it "thrumming') grape vines, and
fruit and ornamental trees, look so
wise, and surround the matter with 80
much mystery, that many ordinary
people fear TO undertake it. AS to the
time of pruning-we refer to the re-
moval of ripened wood--it may be
done at any time between the fall of
the leaf, and when the swelling of the
buds Indicates that new leaves are
about to be produced. 1t is not advis-
able to prune in severe winter weather,
as at that time, the wood may crack
and make bad wound. Besides, that
is time when it is uncomfortable to
do the work. The outfit for one who
would undertake to do his own prun.
ing is a sharp pruningkuife, a pair
of pruning-shears a pruning saw, q. e.
saw with narrow blade, the teeth
of which have wide set. For branch
es not over two inches in diameter al
the base, many prefer broad, stout
chisel to a saw. This has socket iuto
which handles.-of, various lengths car
be inserted. The chisel is placed al
the uuder side of the branch to be
removed, and the end of the handle is
struck upwards with a heavy mallet
All large wounds should be covered
with some material to protect then
from the weather. Shellac varnisl
is best for this purpose, but at thu
present price of alcohol, is too expen
sive. Melted grating wax is the bes
substitute, and in the absence OF this
any thick paint may be used, T'

something of the manner of growth o
trees, etc. The most important poin
is this the growth next spring viii

Look to Your Livestock in January.

January is critical month with all
kinds of live stock They should be
kept comfortable and gaining. If they
begin to fall off IN condition, they will
be almost sure to lose rapidly, and will
require more food and better care to
keep them up, than if well housed, and
continuously well fed. Be systematic
and regular. then they will not stand
and worry foc food or water, and will
take time to feed, to ruminate, and to
rest. Look after sheds and stables, to
keep them clean and warm. Water
ought not to freeze in COW or horse
stables, on the codest nights, and at
the same time the ventilation should be
such, that the air is always sweet.
Pigs suffer greatly with the cold, and
should have dry, well-littered nests,
always. Litter them with straw or
swamp hay, enough so that they can
cover themselves out of sight in it.
Sheep should have dry sheds; they bear
a great deal of cold, but should not
have wet nor dirty straw to lie il.
Where much straw is to be thrown
INTO their sheds, provide few mo able
platforms, like old barn doors, for them
to stano upon. They will be great
comfort TO them, and they are easily
turned over when fresh straw is thrown
in, or they get dirty. Fowls will lay
if they have warm houses, are well fed
and have a chance to exercise. The
free range of the cattle sheds, sheep
sheds, and the barnyards, gives usually
sufficient exercise. If dcbarred from
these, they must have sheltered runs
and bare ground, Ducks need to be
well fed, but not allowed 10 get too fat
if they are to begin laying early. Toe
much corn is always bad, except for
fattening poultry, as it produces intern
al fat, stops laying, and makes the
fowls lazy, No exercise, no eggs

Plain Truths for Girls who Flirt.

Whatever the idea the young girls
who practice street flirting may enter

time, it may be set down as certainty
that when a respectable young man
desires the acquaintance of one who
may some day become his wife, he
doesn't go out on the street and seek
for acquaintance through a Irritation;
but on the other hand, the firt on the
street, no matter how innocent and
fair her intention may be, is the last
person he would seek as his, life COM
panion. He desires purity, without
and above suspicion. The young lady
who engages in this kind of pastime
should bear in mind!that she not only
endangers her reputation and leaves a
stain upon her good name, but that
her name is a by-word.. among those
with whom she flirts, to be banded
about in the saloons on the street COT
ners, and in the lowdown unholy places
in the city; fastening on her otherwise
fair name stigma or stain, that will
follow her years after she sees her folly
aud attempts TO mend her ways.
