Passenger train No 80. due at 1890
o'clock a. m. from Charlotte to Allan
ia. crashed into the fIaIgh. cars On the
siding at Clifton this morning. The en-
gineer was slightly injured and the
fireman badly scalded. The track is
torn up for yards around and traffic

train in time to prevent the wreck.
Nearly all the coaches were derailed
freight cars h tered and the engine
demolished. The passengers were
shaken up, but there were no further
injuries.

have come from the Philippines as to

A KICK WITH A CONCLUSION.

The Boston Herald Is not so prone to
extremes as one or more other news
papers Of its town. Abuse and misrep-
ent. Is TO be looked for every day or so.
1t Is the food upon which some journals
live and thrive. The Herald harping
upon the same old worn fanaical
string gets off this thing of falsehood

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Mulch ounce trees with coal ashes.
An unfruitful orchard may often be
brought into bearing by heavy appli-
cation Of manure
Many orchards are seriously injured
by allowing too heavy growth Of
grass around the stems of the trees
BY keeping the fruit under the trees
cleaned up large number of pests
that injure both the trees and the fruit
will be destroyed.
Where such PLAINS as dock, plantain
or dandelion are growing in a lawn
they may be effectually destroyed by
an application of sitriol.
GoOseberres and currants are largely
propagated by cuttings. In cutting out
the old wood the most vigorous pieces
can be cut into short lengths and set
out for this purpose.
