Very Fine Fruit.

The JOURNAL was presented with
two large baskets of the finest fruit it
has been the pleasure of the editor to
gaze upon for many years. James
Dunipace, who is an exceedingly care
full and successful grower, is now
marketing some very fine fruit which
brings very good prices and finds
steady demand, among them being the
Sweet Belle, Williams Favorite, Haw-
ley, Early 10, Red Astrachan, Early
Strawberry, Shenango Strawberry
Sweet Jeanette, and several varieties OF
Russian apples, the gratis of which he
secured at Washington, all of which
are now in season. In the collection
there were several varieties of fine
pears, and some beautiful plums of the
Wild Goose variety. These plums
have been experimental upon this year
for the purpose of killing the insects
which so frequently destroy the entire
plum crop. Many people believe the
plums are injured when in blossom, but
begins to form the insect makes IL
small incision in the plum in which it
lays the egg which develops in and de-
stroys the fruit. These plums were
sprayed five times this season and the
result is n crop of beautiful fruit. The
apple trees were also sprayed in the
same manner, with very bene fetal re-
suits. The spraying of trees last sea-
son resulted in saving several hundred
dollars worth of fruit for Mr.. d. which
he is confident would have been ruined
had it not been cared for in that man
ner. He has carefully sprayed his
vineyard this year and has fine pros
poets of u fine yield of grapes, which
for two years past have been almost
entirely destroyed. The machine used
for spraying is Nixon's Spraying Ma
chine manufactured mt Dayton, and can
be purchased for $50. One machine
will do the work for at least half dozen
farms, which If purchased by six fruit
raisers in one locality would cost them
but SIS each, and would do all the
work for their farms for number OF
years, which would make the cost very
light for each. For spraying orchards
use four ounces London Purple or
Paris Green mixed in 40 gallons of
water. The machine is so constructed
that while the pump is being worked
to throw fine mist upon the foliage
and fruit, an agitator inside the tank
keeps the Paris Green thoroughly
mixed with the water. For spraying
vineyards use one pound sulphate OF
copper, dissolved in three gallons of
hot water, allow it to cool and dilute to
twenty-five gallons, and spray. We are
informed several others in this locality
are treatlng their trees and vines in
the same manner with beneficial re-
suits. Some people may think it is
dangerous to use these poisons on the
fruit, but experience and practical tests
proves the method perfectly safe.
Any information regarding matters
OF this kind will be gladly received and
published in this paper for the benefit
OF the good farmers and fruit growers
OF this section.

The good ship "Never Sink" left this
port last Saturday afternoon, loaded
with provisions and manned by cour-
ageous sailors, headed for Monroe,
Mich. The wind was fresh, and so
were the sailors, but they made good
time and Jared fairly well until they ar
rived at Bay Point, where they remain
ed over night trying to sleep in aheavy
rain storm with few yards of mosquito
netting for covering. In the MORN
ing the captain in command called his
well soaked crew around the breakfast
table which was well supplied. The
steak had been run through clothes
wringer to get it dry enough to cook,
the coffee had been strained, and the
potatoes plugged to let the water out,
and the only articles of diet which were
not water-soaked were the toothpicks
which the first mate had carefully
carried in his boot leg. But breakfast
they must have, wet or dry. The cap
tain asked the pilots opinion of pro-
ceeding further on the way, when that
gentleman said he was willing to follow
the orders of the gallant commander,
survive or perish. A chorus by some
of the less hardened sailors, the words
of which were, son the banks of the
old Maumee, it is there we are longing
to be, "softened the heart of Capt. Kidd
tive mean Clegg)and the ship was headed
for home. A stiff breeze brought them
to the mouth OF the Maumee river. BY
some means 1--WE won't tgiveit away they
succeeded in getting up the river this
side of the Lake Shore bridge when the
crew were given dose Of canal boat
experience and kindly allowed to tread
the banks they had longed to see, and
tow the gallant barque back to its moor
ings at this place, arriving here Sunday
evening. There are some peculiar sto-
ries afioat concerning how religious
certain ones OF the crew became when
the wind blew little hard, and even
the old weather beaten and storm hard
ened captain was seen to look up very
gentle passage in an old almanac he
had with him, and carefully read it for
want of book with something better
in it. The boat will be manned by an
other crew, each provided with stills
for wading and balloons for life preser-
ers and attempt another trip soon.

THE POLICE INTERPRETED.
A Lively Temperance Meeting Where the
Officers Took n Hand.

Lively Temperance Meeting Where the
Officers Took n Hand.
The ladies of the Moorehead Union Of the
w. G. I. q. had large meeting in front
of the Moorehead building on Grant street
yesterday afternoon, and the police inter-
fered to have the sidewalks kept free.
When the crowd was largest and cornet
had been played to attract the masses Cap
tain Unterbaum appeared on the scene and
said he wanted the sidewalks kept clear.
Jonah Boughton, always ready to do battle
for the temperance cause, was making q
speech at the time, and he replied: II
thought that was what the city paid you for
doing"
When the crowd heard the answer, man
who would talk back 10 the Captain of the
First district seemed hero in their eyes,
and they set up cheer for Boughton and
temperance. Instead of clearing the pave
ment, the crowd packed it more densely.
Captain Unterbaum insisted on the side
walk being reserved for pedestrians, and
Mr.. Boughton invited him TO clear it, at
the same time stoutly maintaining that peo-
pie had right to stand on their own door
steps and talk.
As the ladies had hall in the Moorehead
building, he held that they could stand on
the steps and talk. There was a spirited
debate, which was constantly interrupted
bv cheers. and Mr.. Boughton continued his
address, interspersing it with remarks that
were not calculated to make the police feel
very friendly. But they pleased the crowd,
and they cheered all the harder.
Soon the noise became so great that speak
ing was impossible. Mr.. Boughton yielded
the floor, and the women took it. They
formed in q solid mass in the vestibule and
started to sing temperance hymns. They
kept this up amid cheers, until it finally
became too noisy; then they went up to the
hall and held an indoor meeting.
