The gross sales were $4,238 The expenses for commission, picking, manure, cultivation and crates were $1,538 or $154 per acre. - In ad- ! gdition to these sales of fruit, over 100,0006 plants were sold from the same field in spring, and a large quantity in sutamn.

GEXERAL DIRECTIONS FOR TREE PraxTinG—Be careful not to expose the roots of trees to the wind and the sun more than is nécessary in the operation or transplanting. More failures in tree-planting arise from carelessmess in this particular than from any jother cause. To prevent this car1y the trees to the field to be planted’ in ‘bundles covered with mats; lay ;Gm down, and cover the roots with wet loam, says an exchange, and only m:‘;lﬁem from the bundles as they are 3 ally required for planting. In &ﬁn&‘ ing, the roots should be carefulIy spread out, and the soil worked among them with the hand. When thie Toots are covered, press the earth firmly about the plant with'the foot. Imsert the plant to the depth at which it stood before being transplanted.— Select, if possible, - for tfee-planting, a cloudy or a rainy day., It is better to plant after the middle of the day than before. All young plantations must be protected from cattle and other browsing animals—the greatest enemies, next to man, to young trees, #nd the spread of forest growth.

OATNEAL IN THE HOUSEHOLD.—In Great Britain children of all ranks are raised on &.tmeal diet alone, bécause it causes them to grow strong and _healihful, and no better food can possibly be found for them, It is also quite as desirable for the student as for the laborer, and for the delicate iady and her hand-working sister. Indeed, all classes would be greatly ben&'ed by its use, and dyspepsia, with =il its manifold aunoyances, can be kept at a distance. Oatmeal-is more snbstantial food, it is said, than veal, pork or lamb, and quite equal to beef and mutton, giving as much or more ental vigor, Baldwin’s Monthly says, its great desideratum consists it ene’s not becoming weary of it; for itds as welcome for breakfast or tea as/is wheat or graham bread. It can I eaten with syrup and butter, like sice. It is especially good for young mothers, upon whose nervous forces too great a demand has been made, ~und they lose the equilibrium of the system and become depressed and dispirited. Oatmeal requires to be cooked slowly, and the water should be boiling hot when it is stirred in.

Serine DiseAsgs.—lt has been so very long a fashion to be bilious, that we are almost accustomed. to regard this periodic attack as a matter of necessity. Hence the supposed necessity for tonics and appetizers to meet the-supposed emergencies. Many of these spring diseases are the natural and legitimate result of excess of food, or more than the stomach can bear at this'season of the year, with a radical cithuge m the temperature. To understand this, let it ‘be remembered that we have a winter and summer appetite, depending on the temperature, :ndt!nt in cold weather a large per ‘cent. of our food is exhausted merely #n sestaining the heat of the body, which must be kept at about 98 deg. Fahrenheit, or lif? can not be preserv«d. Indeed, in the coolest weather, to supply this amimal heat, about four limes as much of this fuel-‘fo'?d isneed€l, a 8 of that for the muscles, or to strength and general health. It is also true that there is the same proprie%s in the selection of the kind of food Tor summer and winter, as “in the adaptation of our clothing for the same ssasons. In the winter the appetite is especially urgent for the sweets of all kinds, the oils, as butter, fat meat, ete. In the spring and summer these dre wneot needed, and should be avoided, or sndulged in very sparingly. s

. —THhe temperance movement is gaining great headway at -Goshen. Gen. Milo S. Hascall, Sam Jackson, Vila Smith, James Thomas, Thomas Lane, Lew Walter, &c., &c.;haveidentified themselves with the movement. The Goshen Times is quite jubilant in its' reports of the ;wonderful progress of thé red ribbon movement. It concludes a half-column report in these words: “We notice that nearly all of the worst topers in town are on hand promptly at these meetings, and what is more gratifying, most of fhem: are anxious to be saved from drunkenness. Our people have reason to rejoice over this glorious reform movement in our midst, and to thank God for the timely appearance here of those noble young men, Hallenbeck and Cassady.” - ./

. —We don’t know how to reconcile the following from Thursday’s N. Y. World with the declarations of some of our stock dealers as to the dullness of the cattle market: “The export of ‘beef to England has had one rather ‘unpleasant consequence.- It has bro’t ‘about an advance in the price of very ‘choice meat in the home market, ‘since only the best cattle were select-: ‘ed for the foreign market, none other “being fit for the palate of those ac‘customed to the ‘roast beef of Old ‘England.” The exportation will not ‘be apt to cease, however, though a. ‘good market here may tend to dimin‘ish it for a time. ' Our cattle market ‘henceforward will be like the Eng‘lish money market, and our beef, like ‘their gold, will tend to.where the best ‘prices are going, whether at home or ‘abroad.” Farmers ought to take a hint from this item, viz: that attention to raising- good stock is likely to prove remunerative for years to/ come. Though this immediate vicinity is pretty well supplied with fine Durhams and some Devons, there is plenty of room for many more. -

*) In answer to this inquiry, we append the following from last week’s Elkhart Union : i : “Lawyer Vanfleet of this city has been hard at work for the past few weeks, gathering testimony to combat the pretensions of Hine & Stephenson in -the drive well royalty claims.— From answers and elucidations in similar cases, Mr, Vanfleet is almost certain of overthrowing the preposterous claim of holding men responsible and liable to pay sums for punching a hole in the groupd and pumpin}® water out of ‘it. . The royalty rascals don’t claim a patent on the hole, nor the well, nor the pump, nor the pipe, but base their claims on making the hole! At Three Rivers they drove down a point and pipe into the ground and the water runs of itself onj at the top. How about that?” -~

WHEN President Andrew Johnson was making fierce speeches about hanging traitors, Colonel XKey, now Postmaster-General, was a wanderer in North Carolina. The President and Key had been old-time friends, and the latter addressed a letter to the White House asking what be should do. The next retursi mail from Washington brought|a full pardon. Col. Key returned home and resumed his law practice, from which he has stepped into the Cabinet of Mr. Hayes.

', NOT AMURDER. The telegrmp_hqn;;}L‘_l;ng; published in last week’s BANNER, indicated the murder of a farmer named William Machemer. Later reports;, however, | demonstrate that no crime is connected with Mr. Machemer’s death, The full particulars, as detailed by the Lagrange Standard, are as follows: ; William Machemer, a respecteéd citizen of Van Buren| township, aged about 45 years, went to ,White-Pig’eon‘i on Saturday last, in hisbuggy, to transact some business. He was in usual health, and had no known foeto a long life, ekeept a habit of occasional intoxication. He transacted his business, and started homeward. - About. four milés from honié, and about sundown, he was noticed by a resident on the road-side, sitting in the bugglgéj but'leaning forward nearly to- the dash-board. At the next farm-house, one-fourth mile further on, a child called the -attention: of its father to a passing buggy with nodriverin. The farmer, Mr.. Struble,: we believe, ran. out to. stop the team, but as he approached, the horses started on a run, and soon passed out of sight. He saw no one ih the buggy then. e g

Mr. Machemer’s family retired to bed at the usual hour that night, not dreaming that any danger had befallen the head of the household, though he had not arrived home at the expected hour. Between 10 and 11 o’clock a son._heard the horses make a nojse, and the father not coming in, he got up and wentout. He found thehorses and buggy all right, but when he looked for the father, a most horrible sight presented itself. Across one side of the buggy-box lay the body of the father, the feet lying under the buggy seat, and the head mangled and terribly cut, on the oatside between box and wheel. ' Life was extinot, and probably had been since sundown, sogn after he was last seen leaning forward in his buggy. The only theory (of the sad misfortune we have heard is that he had become intoxicated, and fell in that position, and his head was crushed by the wheel, probably in making some turn in the road. The skull was cracked in one temple, and the back of his head and face badly cut. It was at first reported he had been murdered, as it was known he had received some $l5O that day, or a few days previous, but the money was all found on his person, all right.- ) . A Coroner’s jury sat upon the case on Sunday, and returned the verdict as follows: “That the deceased came to liis death by an accident, by falling out of his buggy, and his head coming in contact with the wheel and the iron strap on the buggy, producing a fracture of the skull sufficient to ‘produce death.
