The evidence for the plaintiff in the
case Of Dr., ], H, Pipes vs., Dr.. ]. W, Nc
Coy, 10 recover 5000 damages alleged
to have been sustained on account Of
slauderous utteranCes, was closed last
evening shortly after o'clock, Yester-
day Louis Custer, ], A. Arkle, Hermann
Bentz, Louisa Haberaeld, John Woliord,
D, w. Keller, Mrs. Emma strotman,
John Deyine, Louisa Custer and Miss
BiCkerton testified as 10 the statements
made 10 them or in their hearing by DR.,
J.W. Mccoy, to the effect that Dr.. Pipes
had been guilty OF improper relations
with Miss Greenlee, a teacher, and that
he had gone 70 house Of assignation
with q neat little woman, closely yelled,
supposed to be Miss Stevens, another
teacher, Nearly all OF these statements
were made when DR., Mccoy was cir
culRting q remo1strance Against the re-
appointment OF these teachers.
Dr.. Pipes himself was the last witness
on his own behalf. His testimony was
mainly directed To showing that he had
really suffered damage through the cir
culation OF these reports. He said he
had lost patrons, but admitted that he
had gained others, aud that this was so
everyyear Of his practice. People had
told him Of others who would have en-
ployed him hadi not been for these re,
ports,
Mrs, Pipes, the wife Of the Doctor,
was the dst witness put on the stand
by the defense. She was asked when
she had first heard Of rumors ofthe Doc
tors improper relations with Miss
Greenlee, with view TO showing that
DR.. Mccoy did not originate them. To
this the plaintiffs attorneys objected,
and pending the argument as to It's ad.
instability, the witness was excused and
the jury I'D ourned over till this morn
ing, when Mrs. Pipes examination will
be resumed.

We have in a number of our groves

the soil is black on the surface, but be-
Meath is coarse gravel, then clay and next

for year or two, then perish with die

on such places? What trees are most

We doubt if you can ever make sue
cess of growing orange trees on the land
you mention. The tree grows all right
till the tap root strikes the rock, then it
gradually goes back. In some parts of
the State, where the land is undellaid
with mari, the same result is experienced.
To remedy this the trees were dug up and
"a hole cut through the rock from six TO
eight feet in diameter, then filed up with
soil, and the tree replanted. Where this
has been done they showed no further

We have tried numerous varieties, but
have always got the stresults from the

Early ORios. Always use seed potatoes
that are gaOwn as far North as possible,
and be perfect They do better and
mature quicker.
We do not understand just what you
naeaM by preserving lines, whether you
mean to make a preserve" or to pickle,
or to save the juice. The former we do

give the information. In Italy lines are
