mans in Philadelphia few days ago
the New York Times says. The letter
was written to Greene from Philadel
phia, Oct. 5, 1880, by Charles Petit
a member of the continental congress
who also was assistant to Greene
while the latter was quartermastel
general. In regards to the West Point
treason Petit wrote:
Il cannot say that Gen. Arnold's

ing tory and deserting the American
cause, was any great surprise to me-
The constant and uniform tenor of his
conduct in this city looked strongly
that way, and the court he paid to
the tories was too plain and evident
and too universal to arise from any
other motive than the laying of a
foundation for joining them at some
day or other, but the magnitude Of
his treason and the extent of his
plan, l must confess, startle and
amaze me: could scarcely have
conceived thai the pride of an ambi-
tious man and that sense of honor, or
at least the pretension to it, which
every man Of station thinks himself
bound to wear the appearance of,
whether he really feels it or not,
would have prevented a man of his
situation to rush at once into a vii.
lainty so atrocious and degrading to
human nature. But he seems to have
been determined not to be a little vii
lain. Nothing short of the highest
rate could satisfy him, and in this he
has shown his courage, though his
plan has failed. | shall at present
add only one reflection upon this af
fair, and that is that l consider il
as a public benefit not only that the
plot has been so seasonably discover
ed, but that the attempt has been
made"
In writing about Gen. Gates South

Southern gentlemen particularly seem

be appointed The Southern people
are strongly prejudiced against Gale

New York State has taken prac-

During the past planting season more

planting. Where it is desired and is
found feasible, the services Of fore
man are furnished to direct the plant
ing, the state bearing a share Of his
expenses. The seedlings were of pine
and spruce and we're supplied to 149
persons.

Feeding Sheep.

There are several points in feeding
sheep that must not be overlooked.
The feed lot must be dry, with plenty
Of clean, dry bedding; the animals
must have plenty of Gle I, pure water,
and the feed troughs should be kept
clean. These should be arranged so
that the sheep cannot foul them with
their feet. Another point is to keep
them from becoming excited or fright
ened. To this end it is better that one
person feed them all the time.
