While seated in Will McGulre's
store munching an apple we inquired
who twas that raised such fine fruit
and were told that Mr. j. Z. Moore
raised those. Then we listened and
learned that MIR. Moore had young
orchard that was just beginning to
bear; that there was nearly twelve
hundred trees in the orchard, and
during the severe winter he lost only
seven or eight trees, which he attri-
butes to SPLENDID north west wind
break. Mr.. Moore takes great delight
and much pains in caring for his
orchard.

terday notified Secretary Alger that he
would be in Washington and ready to
assume control of the war department
at II O'Clock this forenoon, accordingly
General Alger left at II as for Michigan
One of the last official acts of Secre-
tary Alger was to prepare a statement
covering several matters regarding the
conduct of the war that have been the
subject Of criticism in the public press,
particularly with reference to the APP
pointment of staff officers in the volun-
teer army. He denies these were Sc
lected through political influence with
the secretary of war by special favor and
without any regard to fitness, but says
that they were all appointed exclusively
by the governors of the respective states
from which the regiments came.
