ABUNDANCE OF FRUIT.

Every indication poin's to an abund-
ance of fruit this year, even to excee 1
the enormous crop of last year. The
apricot, the earliest fruit in this sec
ton. is now in bloom, showing that
the prolonged cold weather has not
done any harm. The plum and peach
are budding rapidly and the buds found
to be in a healthy condition. The
mild winter has not affected any of the
small fruits.

Mistakes in the Management of couc,,.
Roads.

AS a general thing, the cour,.
roads on this continent have been
badly located that to build costly n,y. :.
men,s upon the present lines 80 .0i
previously provide elaborate system % ~
drainage, would be a dreadfml w,s,a
of money. As it is ordinarily bevouS c''j
the means Of the country people 10 o do
more than improve the present COW
dition Of their roads, this is the ,sst @
that they should undertake as soon az
possible. In beginning such a tast
the first step to be taken, in my onin
ion, is TO stop doing that which ba,
generally been the custom in this com
try that is, working the roads. Wort
ing the roads, as it is usually practised
in this country, consists in calling orr
in each road district a gang of me,
who "work OUT their road tax unds,
an overseer elected by the people
The labor done is worse than thrown
away, for it is rare indeed for eitbs,
the overseer or the men under him ia
have any clear comprehension of
what is needed. Fortunately for the
well-being of our roads, these men do
not work very hard, but rather choose
to regard the few days on the road a,
a kind of holiday outing, picnic frol,
ic and a means of getting rid of Ger.
tain amount Of tax. If they really
worked with all their might, they would
make the roads almost as unpassable
in the summer as they now are in the
late winter and early spring. With
some kind of a glimmering idea that
bitches on each side Of road are good
to have, they plough up these bitches
together with the sod that grows down
into them, and pile all of this muck in
the middle of the road. This material
it may be said, has a most excellent
fertilizing value, and if it were put up-
on the fields instead of in the roads il
would amply repay the farmers who
carted it away. But in the roads it is
sad and an immediate hinderance to
travel. Luckily the friendly spring
rains usually wash it back into the
bitches, where it stays until there is
some more tax to be "worked out"
When these rains are not sufficient 10
wash away these impedimens that
have been deliberately placed in the
roads, the consequences are very dusty
roads during all the dry season.
In some neighborhoods little more
ambitious than those generally to be
found. they mend the roads by placing
gravel and broken Stone upon them.
Then the overseers say that they are
macadamizing the roads. Without
thoroughly draining the road-bed, to
put either broken stone or gravel upon
it is merely waste Of money and Ia
Dor, and the ambitious neighborhoods
so doing prove in the end no wiser
than those who cover their roads with
muck. But it is within the means Of
every neighborhood in the United
States to materially improve their
roads at once-improve them so much
that where the traffic is not extremely
heavy and continuous, the roads will
be in tolerable order nine months IN
the year, and very much better than
at present, even when the frost is COM
ing out of the ground at the beginning
Of spring. And this can be done in
three or four or five years without
spending one penny more than is now
spent in the hurtful methods men
t;oned.-Harpsrs Weekly.

STONED TO DEATH.
Connecticut Robbers Murder a
Swede With Rocks.

SWeue with ROCKS.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov. PA band
of desperadoes set upon two Swedes at
the foot of Talcott mountain at late
hour tonight, stoned one of them to
death and shot the other so that he will
probably die. Robbery was the motive
for the crime.
The SwedeS had but short time be-
fore been paid for their weeks work at
the West Hartford reservoir and were
on their way home. Arriving at the
foot OF Talcott mountain, several men
ran out of the timber and began pelting
them with stones. One of the Swedes
was struck on the head with a big
stone which knocked him senseless.
His companion ran, when one of the
gang drew revolver and shot him. AS
he fell he saw the gang pelung the
PROSTATE form Of his friend with stones.
Fearing they would serve him similarly
he feigned Inconsistencies. Having
made sure the first Swede was dead,
then the bold brigands rifled his
pockets and two OF them dragged his
body into the woods, while the others
came and took the money from the one
who had been shot. AS they were pre-
pairing 10 drag him into the timber, the
sound of wagon coming down the
mountain was heard and they fled, leav-
ing him by the roadside. When the
wagon came up, the wounded workman
summoned his little strength and called
for help. The occupants of the wagon
brought him TO the nearest house, and
medical aid was summoned. The doc
tors do not believe he will recover. The
body OF the dead man has not been
found. The Hartford police were noti-
fed, but they had no clue at midnight

Tired of His Wife.
A trial in which much popular inter-
est is displayed began today at KONG
gratZ. A merchant of that place named
Joseph Sura was arraigned to answer
charge Of setting fire to his house at
night and then throwing his wife into
the burning building. 1t appears that
Sura fell in love with his Wife's sister,
girl of eighteen. He desired to marry
her, and determined to get rid of his
wife that he might be free. to do
so. He thought that by setting his
house on fire, after removing the
most valuable articles from it, and hay
ing his wife burn to death would be an
easy and safe way to get rid OF her. Uni
fortunately for himself, his plans mis-
carried, inasmuch as before all hope of
escape from the burning building was
cut off. Mrs. Sura awoke and rushed
out. Sura, however, was not to be
batf1ed this way. He seized her and,
carrying her to the house, deliberately
threw her into the fire. Neighbors who
saw the act went to her rescue and took
her out, but not until she was fright
fully burned. Mrs. Sura is only twenty
one years old, and was pretty woman.
