What l Know About Hardware and
City Finances.

Good credit is valuable asset for
an individual or firm, but strange and
anomalous as it may appear, for a city
it is misfortune. A city, like fam
lily, has many real and imaginary
wants right from the start, both fami.
lies and cities grow, but the expense
of the latter usually grows faster than
the income. School houses, hospitals,
city halls, sewers, paved streets etc.
follow each other in rapid succession.
Whatever city buys or builds, gene
rally costs more than private people
pay for like services. Valuable fran
chises seldom bring the city anything.
Whenever city undertakes the man

Orchards Need the Rest Land.

II an orchard is to be planted, thought
to be given care and manure enough to
insure it's success. More failures come
from planting on exhausted soil than
from any other single cause. The farmer
knows the land needs more fertility;
hence he applies large amounts Of staole
manure. This is comparatively poor ID

than it ought to be in nitrogen: Hence
the farmer gets great growth OF leal

In the North woods one season there
were two parties camping little dis
lance apart. One party carried into
the woods bag filed with filberts
almonds and other nuts He hung the
bag up where he thought it would be
safe, and the next day visited my friend
and his associates in the other camp
being absent from his own camp two
or three days When he returned my
friend went back with him, and on the
way was told of the treat in store for
him in the shape of nuts. Upon reach
ing the camp, however, hole was
found in the top of the bag and every
nut gone.
1t was supposed the squirrels had
carried them off to their homes in the
woods, and nothing more was thought
OF it till the next day, when my friend
went to put on pair of rubber boots,
hanging up in another part of the
camp, and in these boots were all the
nuts nicely stored away by the SOUR
reis for winter use. Interview in Utica

NEW ORLEANS. Feb 29.-Sporting
men and others from all parts of the
United States are in this city to attend
the Needham-Ryan fight which comes
off tonight and the more important
battle between Fitzsimmons and Maher,
Wednesday night. 1t is doubtful if the
Sullivan-Ryan fight drew as big crowd
of sporting men as are here present.
The betting on to-night's battle is about
even; before the fighters step into the
PEELED to offer odds. Both men are
under weight. Maher, the Irish cham
pion who YVES expected to arrive here
yesterday, remained at Montgomery and
will not reach this city until Wednes-
day. His hackers do not intend to
allow Fitzsimmons' hackers to size him
up. To-day Fitzsimmons was the ia
vorlte in the betting 5 to 8. This is
practically due to the fact that little is
known of Maher as fighter.

minal company was incorporated at

near College Point, which will bring
the New England road to a direct con-
nection with the Long Island system.
To reach the tunnel on the Westminster
side road to connect with the Housa-
tonic road, which is part of the New
England system, will be built. A ter
minus in New York city is to be secured
also by tunnel to some point below
Forty Second street. and the newly in
corporated company is believed to be
the line organized for the purpose.
Commenting on the death of the
brakeman at Cotter Bridge, Cornwall,
Bridgeport Standard says: "This is, it is
said, the fifteenth victim from this
bridge since the road was built. Why
is it that our railroad commissioners dc
not make the Housatonic railroad com
pany raise the bridge and stop this in
human slaughter"
