A cowardly Deed.

We learn from MIR. Al slough. who came
down from Maiden yesterday, that u COW
ardly attempt was made tn take-the life Of
J. f.. WATSON, Of that place. The party or
parties engaged in the undertaking had
placed u quantity Of giant powder under
the cabin occupied by WATSON as sleeping
apartments, and yesterday morning an ex-
plosion took place which startled the town.
Citizens hurried to the scene immediately
and to their great surprise found WATSON
uninjured, or only slightly the worse for his
experience. though from appearances he
had been thrown up to the ceiling from the
force of the explosion. There is a cellar
under the building which may have in a
measure broken the effects OF the shot.
The giant powder was probably placed
there early in the evening during Wasson's
absence. and was discharged through the
means Of fuse some fifteen feet in length.
The building was considerably damaged.
10 far as known, no clue to the I,erpet rat or
of the c"wariy deed has been found.

More About Judging Citrus Fruits.

MR.. BIELBY'S IDEAS ON THE SUBJECT AND
HIS REPLY TO MIR. VAN DEMAN'S PAPER
BEFORE THE AMERICAN POMoLoGICAL
SOCIETY.
In yourissue OF February 9th you pub
lish in. full the essay Of Mr.. VanDeman on
Judging Citrus Fruits" We have the
gentleman to thank for bringing to the
front a subject which must be settled
finally, before another national or inter-
national competition OF citrus fruits can
be had, and there is lodged nowhere the
power to establish such scale, with au-
thority, excepting in the American
Pathological Society,"" In view of these
facts, believe it to be the duty of the
society to examine carefully into the ap-
parent present possibilities, and establish
an ideal for citrus fruits, towards which
the aspirations and labors of the growers
may turn as to a light in the distance,
possible of attainment only by the most
careful, persistent and intelligent work.
The question at once arises, SIS the
scale suggested by Mr.. VanDeman such
an one?"
do not think it is. On the contrary,
it is in many respects a step backward.
That we may the betterexamine into it it
is here reproduced.
