tells of an ap

ple tree, on the farm of Thomas Wanton, which measures (the tree, not the farm) six leet two inches in cireuml'creuce. It was set out by this gentleman in 1S2G, and is now forty-one years old. '1 lie branches extend between fifteen and twenty feet each way from the trunk, anil from an ample shade. Over fifty bushels of apples were gathered from it last year.

l'reston Khristic, a wealthy farmer of high standing in Ripley county, was killed Monday evening by a man named McLellan. A difficulty concerning a law suit between theiu occurred, when McLellan drew a pistol aud shot him. I lie murderer was not arrested Tuesday morning, but officers' were in closc pursuit in the woods.

LAsiKs rHI-K.—We learn that on Friday last, Archibald Cuniback was discovered by member of his family in^ the well

near

his residence, in White Water

township, in this county, struggling to keep from drowning, but before assistance could be rendered, he had sunk and was dead. IIow he got into the well is unknown, but it seems from what we have heard that he had been in low spirits, but pn that day was in his usual good health and spirits, ate a hearty dinner, and went out for the purpose of walking in his garden, and is supposed to have gone to the well to drink.—Sroofcvillc

TIIE CHILD MURDER.—It is ascertained beyond a doubt that James 51. Lawrence and Mrs. Martha Phillips, who were arrested Wednesday evening, aro tho father aud mother of the child found in the river a few days since. Both are now in jail. The grand jury were investigating the case yesterday, and in the evening returned an indictment, the nature of which we cr.u not state.

—Indianpolis TTcrald. HORTICULTURAL—On' 'the farm of Jacob Miller, in Sparta township, is a peach tree, which has been bearing fruit, to his personal knowledge, tliirty-tlirce years, and the neighbors, many of whom resided in the neighborhood when the {3t(ite V88

Territory, testify that tho

tree bore fruit forty-three years ago. The tree was a scedlipg. It is a well known fact that peach trees are of but a few years' duration, and this is one of the extraordinary exceptions. Not many years since the fruit in the neighborhood failed entirely, and the remark was made on a certain occasion that upon the entire jridgo it was not possiblo to find two peaches. The assertion was true, with one single exception, and that was the tree hero referred to, which contained about two dozen.—LtucrenceburgRegister.

The railroad iu course of construction from Plymouth, through Rochester tq Peru, will be completed during the coming summer. The grading is finished and the ties are upon tho road bed ready to lay.

Cli. Garrel seems to have been leader of the gang, and receiver of tho stolen goods. Ilis house was searched yesterday morning, and a large quantity of the stolen goods found, together with a lot of hams stolen recently from Farly's pork house. Garrel, we understand, came to to this city and commenced business sonic four years ago, having at that time very little'money or property, lie prospered in a manner surprising to honest people, and last summer erected on the corner of Third and Mulberry streets two large brick buildiugs. The corner he used as a grocery store. K. H. Hart, one of the parties arrested, was his carpenter. In iiurniintns A mi constructing the house a sub-cellar was made—that is, a cellar under the main one, aud it was in this lower cellar that the most of the stolen goods were found, buried in the sand. The sand was loose, as if from frequent handling, and it is presumed stolen packages were seeretcd here awaiting a favorable opportunity to transport them to other localities.

Hut this does not prove tliat animals may not eat it to excess. When they have been long deprived of it and then are allowed to eat of it unrestrained, they will be likely to over-eat and hurt themselves. The practice of some farmers, to stilt their stock regularly once a week, giving them always a fixed quantity, is good one. Others prefer to keep a supply always within reach of their stock, so that they can go and get a lick or two whenever they desire. They claim that it, is as safe to do so as it is to allow stock in the pasture to drink from a running stream at their pleasure.

And this suggests the subject, of salting hay at the time of stowing it away in summer. One reason given for the practice that it tends to prevent the heating and moulding of hay when nut throughly cured. In a case of inTensity, we would advise the use of from eight to ten quarts to a ton. evenly distributed. Another reason given for this practice is that it provides the cattle with fodder iu in the winter which is already salted. Hut it should be borne in mind that salt thrown upon the hay now is often distribtcd unevenly, and so the cattle get one day an excess, and at another not enough. When they get too much, it begets an unnatural thirst, aud they will drink au excess of cold water. Tu young sheep it often produces the scours. A better way i* to avoid the necessity for salting haj", and while feeding out fresh and bright fodder, to let the slock have daily access to the box of salt, and they will lick only as much as nature demands.

l.-now

that wc have found worms in

apples, and cannot olievo tliat tho coiuinoti notions on this stl bject are groundless At any rate, wc make i.1 our yearly practice to pick up all the worm-eaten fruit under a few pet trees in nr back yard, and feed them to our horse and we know that the fruit on those trees i" annually improving. In a large orchard, we should let the hogs pick them up. .That the dung dropped by the hogs and t.ho little ooting which they do are bcnciicinV tbcrc can be no doubt.

Useful 111 t^fortllo^iHCKefflpcr.s. Wood aslfteS and'eomraprl salt, wet with water, will^stop the- cracks of a stovo, and prevent th'e smoke $oni penetrating.

The bed hangings .and|^ndow drapery in nurseries and common- rooms should be of those colors tbat are casieast to the eyes. Green should be tho prevailing color. A damp mop, passeUy jjijtJor. the bed to wipe off tho dust as often as oncc a week, will prevent tW visits of the nightly foe.

Carpets should be shook often, but with care. It is a good plan to hang them on a line, aud take a now broom and beat and sweep them, after thay havo been shook awhile. This brings out the dust from the threads.

Silver spoons should never be used in the kitchen, unless for preparing pre--serves. -i

To Destroy Cureullo, 1'nder trees that were infested the pWvious season, spread any fiue litter or. straw to the depth of two or three inches. Cover as large a circle as the infected fruit may have fallen from. Do this a few days before the trees come out in bloom oid about the time the plums first sliow themselves. Set fire to the straw on a dry evening and burn it. ^Vrap old cloths wet with water around the body of the tree to prevent the heat from injuring

it. Iu the cool of the evening many of the insects take refuge under the straw, and others just coming to maturity near the surface of the ground, get scorched while those on the tree fly iuto the flame as insects usually do at night. Consequently the whole tribe about every tree treated in this manner get their deserts.

CniKit YINKCAH.—To one who is tired of using the unwholesome, store-made vinegar so common in market, it will be serviceable to know that pure cider vinegar can easily be made by simply keeping the cider barrel in a pretty warm temperature, say about summer beat, and allow the air to have free accets to it. Leave the bung of the cask out, and plaoe a juuk bottle, neck downwards, in the hole. This will keep out the dirt aud water, and serve to turn the rays of light down ou the cider, and assist in promoting decomposition.

REMEDY KOR THE BORER IN I'EACII TREES.—Take equal parts of coal oil and urine, aud apply to the trees early in summer. You will have no further ^trouble with the "borer" that season.

-uh

If you wish to have your free stone hearths dark, wash them with suds j. oil is good to rub in occasionally, and it .will not show spots. If you wish to have it look like new, get free stouo powder, of the cutters, and rub on wet, and when dry rub it off.

Ox gall is good to set colors ono tablespoonful in a gallon of water is sufficieut. It should be used without soap, and stirred well into the water. If you wash it afterwards use sand, and not rub soap ou the cloth.

Attend to mending the clothes of the family at least once week. Stockings must be attended to, the heels lined .or run, and thin places or holes well darned.

Always liavo a plenty of clean dish water, and put it on as soon as the meat is prepared, as an invariable rule. No good housekeeper will allow this rule to be broken.

Never use lye to clean tin, it will spoil it soon make it clean with suds, and rub with whiting, aud it will look well, and list much longer.

Never lay knives in hot water, it injures the handles and destroys thc«polish. Keep your mustard spoon cloan, aud your salt spoons out of the salt.

Keep the cruets of your castors clean, well filled, aud a piece of green baize or flannel uudcr them.

A gallon of strong lye put in a tub of water will make it soft as rain water. It is a good plan to provide this, when you have not a plenty of rain water for dishes, &c.

SI:I,KCTIN(I A C'ow-—It is sometimes the ease that the best judges will be deceived. A cow of very promising appearance, coarse in the neck, large boned aud second or third rate milk marks generally, will now aud then, turn out to be first-rate, while another with theso marks largely developed, fiue in the head and neck, and promising every way, will prove unsatisfactory. But a failure in this ease is rare. Let the head be light, the forehead broad, the horn rather thin and clear, the eye clear and prominent, the neck thin, and the fore-quarters rather light, tlio back straight, tho hind-quarter8 well developed, wide over the loins, the carcase deop, the udder coming forward and well shaped, tho skin soft to the touch, the teats well set, not to large nor too small, the tail long and thin, like a whip-lash. Such a cow ought to bo a good one.—Mass.

Plowman.

HKFKCTS OF DISEASED POTATOES FEU TO STOCK.—A writer on thiSj subject says ..

An acquaintance of mine fed his cows with tlicui and lost throe of tho number in a short time. Various opinions, as to the cause of the death of the cows aro exprcssed, but no one thought of imputing ii .to the potatoes. A post mortem examinai.'ou found the first aud second stomachs1 in a healthy condition, but the third or mauifold, was discovered to be distended, ant? one-half or more of its contents perfectly dry and adhering to its walls, the result of inflammation and the cause of death. Subsequently he fed a cow a few bushelt1 of diseased potatoes—a peck a day—w hen she was attacked the same way as were those of his neighbor, when antidotes wore administered with success.

A BRILLIANT FLOVER BED.—Oneof the cheapest, easiest-nrade and most effective is one mado wliclly of Petunias. Make the bed, say six feet long and four feet wide, and oval in shajpo. Let it bo three inches higher in the o'sntro than at the edges. Sow seeds of tho crimson and white equally' mixed together. The plants should be thinned out slix inches apart. They will make a brilliimt show all summer.''

IN a speech delivered a few years since, Bro willow, said "negroes were, onljr monkeys with their tails cut off.",

KELLEY'S friends say~"he was not frightened when he tremblied at M6tile, but only obeyed the old order "Enough said—shake."

CHICAGO complains that it,has nV good beef to eat—nothing but "widowed. 'oma cintcd cow superamuated old bullaged and invalid stag." 3^1!
