Q0U ~ A. -
unad III b village 0f Prov0ncs, France.
AZ he rushed down d deserted street
persons who had fled TO places Of Sc
surity were horriied TO see . small
boy run to mest 1t. Needless of COM
mands and warnings, the child seemed
about to throw himself upon the an
imal's open, foaming jaws There
was a struggle, but 1t was Quickly
over, and tho lO-year-old hero was
unhurt. He bad given his hat to the
dog, and while the creature was tear
ing IL, had seized him by the hind
legs and plunged q knife into his
stomach. When a crowd OF men
reached the scene to render assistance
the dog lay m~otionlcss and dying.
The boy was Claude de Forbin who
as a young man achieved fame as a
brave soldier and sailor, and who
died a commodore OF the French
navy. His career was full OF acts Of
audacity and impetuous courage.
At one time the French Govern
ment ordered him to attack a certain
Venetian war vessel in the Mediter-
ranean Sea. The vessel retrcated TO
the port Of Venice. Forbin, with
fifty men, two boats, and a canoe, en-
tered the port unperceived, boarded
the vessel and took possession of it
before the enemy realized what was
happening.
He carried away the officers and
crew, set fire to the ship, and before
1t was fully understood in Venice
what the burning Of the ship and the
terrible explosion OF its powder-maga-
zine meant, he was well on his way
to his own frigate, which he reached
in safety.
In a terrific storm. which 50 fright.
tened his ordinarily stout-hearted
sailors that they yielded to despair
and did nothing but call upon all the
saints in the calendar, Forbin
shouted, "All your prayers are ,good,
my lads, but Saint Pump! Saint
Pump! he will save you"
The men went to the pumps, and
the ship was saved.
When Forbin's vessel was anchored
off Algiers, and he was negotiating for
peace between Algiers and France,
some Christian slaves swan out and
begged him to rescue them. The
treaty between France and Algiers
forbade the French sending out gun
be ats to rescue slaves, but Forbin de.
termined to save these unfortunates.
He put 400 fathoms of rope to a
canoe. and told the coXswain to
rescue the drowning slaves. Ii he
was discovered by the Algerian gun
boats, he was to order the men oship
their oars and to pull on the cable, at
which signal the canoe would be
drawn back to the vessel.
The Algerians chased the canoe;
but without success. They demanded
the return OF the slaves, but Forbin
replied that all on board a vessel of
the King Of France were freemen.
Then he set sail across the Mediter-
ranean and carried the refugees to

FOR THE MEAT STALLS.

Fat sheep, of large size, command good prices. It is not easy to secure fat sheep that present an attractive appear ance on the market stalls, although there are apparently plenty of sheep of. fered for sale. The attention given to wool has not been conductive to breed ing the best mutton sheep. A ram of the Shropshire, Oxford or Southdown breeds, if used for grading the flock with the view of producing choice nut ton, will make marked improvement in a flock in single season. Bacon and pork bring high prices at present. There should be fair profit to breeders in the East in producing pork, especial ly when the prices are 80 good. There is always waste of certain foods that can be well utilized by swine, and if nn- ly one or two pigs are raised, they will pay a profit compared with other stock. Despite the fact that the West produces cheap corn and pork, the prices now re- ceived for pork are larger than for many years previously. Beef cattle should pay as well in the East as well as in the West. Food can be purchased and con- verted into manure while the cattle are growing, and although but small prof. it may be noticed from the cattle the farm will have been increased in fertili- ty and prodnctiveness.-[T Troy Times.

All things to the glory of God is the essential spirit of the Cos pei. Some things are right and some things are wrong and other things are

THE CARE OF TREES.

It is common for orchardists and planters to give particular attention to their newly planted trees in spring, in setting out or in cultivating for a day about them, but afterwards they are left wholly to themselves. The earth settles and becomes hard and crusted about them, or weeds and grass surround them. Dug with insufficient roots to hold them stiff in their position, they are bent about by the wind and make but little growth. The mistake made by owners is in not keeping the whole condition, free from weeds to the end of the summer months. Young and new ly-set trees are not the only ones needing care. Those of middle growth may be largely injured by neglect. A tree with an upright smooth trunk, and with a healthy, symmetrical, smooth head, is in strong contrast with one having crook ed, knotty growth, struggling head, bristled with suckers and gnawed by insects; and this is only the difference between industrious care in one case and entire neglect in the other, through the months of June and July. Trees of medium size sometimes require light pruning in summer to give them proper form, when the heads have become too much mass of brush, preventing the growth and ripening of the fruit and in- terfering with the spraying of the trees, care being taken to cut very lightly not causing any check in Troy Times.

THE BEST TREES TO PLANT.


 Seeding trees are obtained by planting the seed in good, clean soil the spring that the land is broken. The best trees to plant are those. that are native to the section, as trees brought from dis tance are not apt to do we'll. The seeds are planted in rows and are cared for the same as a crop of corn, beets or vege- tables. The ground should be kept well stirred and free from weeds. They are taken up with digger, and If set ont in the fall are dug as wanted. If not wanted until spring they are dug, tied in bundles and packed away from mice in suitable place. Among the trees that may be mentioned for planting are maple, ash, beech, oak, hickory, locust, chesnut, horse chestnut, black walnut, wild cherry, spruce. pine, hemlock, larch, firy basawood, cottonwood and willow. AS the trees grow up they may be thinned out, beginning as soon as they axe big enough, for poets, ata1res or railroad ties. From 2, ,010 n 2,5o0 trees will sypw to n acre, sisl Ss soon as

DANBURY.
CURRENCY IS SCARCE.

The Danbury hat manufacturers gen. orally have felt obliged to pay their workmen their semi-monthly dues in checks because of the difficulty in ob- taining currency without paying a premium. At first the employees felt as if they could not put up with it. The grocers, marketmen and merchants generally agreed to receive the checks for full value and the banks will receive them on deposit. With this assurance the workmen received the cheeks with tolerable willingness, Saturday. They tried them, Saturday evening, and found no trouble in giving them in exchange for necessaries. The cheeks are issued in sums of $5. Some merchants, grocers, etc., will Etake them and give silver in change, in cases where the amount is less than the face value of the check. It seems to be satisfactory, especially as the arrangement is expected to be only temporary, to tide over difficulty which it is hoped will not be of long continuance. Mayor Andrews agrees to give $5.50 in goods from his store for $5 in matters checks, which is an accommodating Spirit. All parties in business transactions, merchants, manu- lecturers and the laborer, are trying to make the best of bad condition. The News puts it all in sentence. ''All are in trouble together and it's a mighty poor time for anything but friendly feelings It is fact that some manu' lecturers would close their factories fol an indefinite time, and have done with the bother and anxiety of it, were it moi for throwing their hands out of employ. ment. They just cling and hope. Rev Dr Simmons, of the Methodist church, and Mrs Simmons are visiting the Worlds fair.

FOR IMPROVING ORCHARDS.

A Virginia correspondent of the Rural New Yorker applied to different orchard ists for the best mode of fertilizing a 3O-acre orchard at an expense of $l00. They generally agreed that this was a small sum for an orchard of that area. One of them residing in Maryland, would blow four inches and harrow a week after blowing, then later in summer drill in $64 worth of dissolved South Carolina rock, then SOW six bushels of scarlet clover, the crop to be turned un- der the next May. Another in Maryland would apply 200 pounds of raw bone, South Carolina rock and floats. Anoth- CT from North Carolina, says he would prefer to use the acid phosphate with a liberal addition n of plaster; he would cul- be turned under in spring. A fourth correspondent, in Connecticut would buy two tons of raw bone meal and one ton of high grade muriate of potash. These ! would give the best returns on the in- vestment. There is no doubt that the fertilizers here mentioned would produce an excellent effect on some soils and in certain regions, and they may be well applied in such localities, while in other places they would partly fail. If they have been successfully used on other crops, they may be used on the orchard. In many cases, cheaper home manures,
 as barn manure, wood ashes, etc., wei
 and thoroughly applied, would be more economical, and the $l00 would go far ther.

MORRIS.
WE AND OUR NEIGHBoRs.

WE AND OUR NEIGHBOURS.
 We trust our esteemed friend, the West Morris correspondent will not ac- cuse us of stealing his thunder if we dilate upon the principal excitement oi the week, the hop given at Throop's hal by Prof J. M. Lee of New Haven. We do not dance, we have corns and con. scientious scruples, beside being natural ly sober minded all which preclude our taking part in such light amusements But our neighbor who Is light minded and nimble footed and somewhat given to frivolity assures us that the gathering of the clans in response to the pibroch of Roderick Dhu was as nothing compar- ed with the fifties and scores and tens who wended towards Throop's hall iI answer to the professors summons They comprised the beauty and chivalry of South View, Camp Columbia, Litch- field, Bantam, Bethlehem, Morris, East and West, and from the regions of Judea and Macedonia. The hall was prettily trimmed. Loveland's band discoursed enliving strains, table loaded with good things and the thermometer few degrees lower than 00!! "Could anything be more alluring!" The genial professor proved himself as expert at an intricate pirouette, as he is with the pen, or the chess board.
