It is true he has been and still is a partisan repub- lican, and it is also true that he is not above the makeshifts that are character- istic of the ordinary politician, but there is something in the personality of the man—something so typical , of the age and time—something so suggestive of the American spirit—that he has won the regard even of his political oppo- nents.”. Reporter Thomas is already famous as a “hustler.” Tuesday evening he went up on the Fair Ground track to show how quickly a mile could be run on his bicycle. He sprang to his work with the intense energy he exhibits when running down a local item and made the circuit twice around the track in 3:32. He then hied himself to the dressing room when turning as white as Banquo’s ghost he clasped his-hands over his abdominal viscera and ex- claimed, “0, my, I feel as if I was chuck full of green apples.” Then a terrible fit of vomiting seized him and he was so seriously ill as to excite the- compassion of all beholder-s. Says the New York Sunze—Johii J. Cox, a brass moulder, living in Nor- wa k, went to Bellevue hospital Monday night with a broken arm and a broken nose. He said he had been pushed off a Harlem River railroad train by a brakeman while the train was passing over the Harlem bridge. Cox says he had jumped on the train thinking it wasaNew Haven train which would take him to his home, and that the brakeman ordered him off. - Cox said he would get 011' as soon as the train reached the next station. This, he says, did not satisfy thebrakeman, who thereupon pushed him off. The train was going pretty fa‘st. Cox, after ly- ing unconscious on the ground for some time, picked himself up and took has a wife and two children. he can identify the brakeman. He says' aNewHaven’train for this city. Cox, smooth face. He is charged with steal- ,ing a horse and carriage from No’s. 5 and 7 Mather street, Hartford. The horse is a sorrel about seven years old, and the carriage is of the piano box pattern. Mr. Edward Fowler, of Guilford, is in town. Mr. Fowler is here in the in- terest of Bridgeport parties who are putting in machinery for the steam launches. Mr. Fowler is a veteran of the 14th C. V. Furthermore he is a brother of our beloved Douglas Fowler. He is also one of the two remaining brothers, five in number, who did va- liant service in the preservation of the Union. The other living brother was on the rebel side doing, as he thought, his duty. All were brave. The Sisters three. by their acts proved that patrio- tism was inborn in the family. God bless the branch of the Fowler family that came from Guilford. The state owes all of them a debt that cannot be cancelled. HINTS ON PRUNING. Differing Treatment for the Various Con- ditions Found in Orchard and Garden. The treatment of trees and bushes de- pends on surrounding conditions—age, variety and the desired end for which the article is to be grown. If trees are newly set out from the nursery having roots considerably shortened, the top should be trimmed back, forming, if possible, a symmetrical head about as high from the ground as may be desired for permanent growth, and leaving the tree as evenly balanced as possible. Heads may be started low, if desired to keep near the ground, but if in an or- chard, where horse and plow are to be. used in cultivating the ground, more thorough work may be done near the trees by having heads high. If trees in orchard have been bearing last season it will be noticed that certain varieties of the plum threw out long, slender branches that were ruined by being broken off near the trunk because of overbearing. Theseare the Yellow Egg, and perhaps Greengage and Brad- shaws. Trees of such nature should have these long limbs materially short- ened, so that just proportion may be had in thickness from the trunk according to the length of the limb. Other varieties have strong, large limbs, but are filled with short suckers that, if permitted to remain. would create too much foliage and absorb the substance essential to the fruit. In trimming these back care must be taken not to cut off fruit spurs, which are easily distinguished by the plump, round head of the bud. All suckers or small branches not requiring to be kept for bearing should. he removed close to the body of the large limbs. If the main branches are long they should be cut back considerably in order to give them proportionate strength. By all means see that the tree is as nearly evenly balanced as may be possible to make it. Bushes, such as curl-ants and goose- berries, especially the former, may be grown in tree form if desired with very good results. It takes longer time to produce a given amount of fruit, but when grown from a good stock and branched will produce very large ber- ries, and constantly increase in the quan- tity produced for some years. The trim- ming is on the same principlcas with larger trees. In pruning with a View to produce fruit always remember this is home on the second year’s wood. If de- sired to grow in bush form the best shoots should be allowed to grow, and each of these may be trained to form heads, but not allowed to crowd too closely. Blackberries and raspberries should have all old canes removed. Then tie -to stake or trellis. Cut back to about four feet from the ground or less, depending upon variety.—Horticultur- ist. \Vlien to Sow Grass Seed. 'It is the practice of many to sow timothy seed in the fall, and clover seed in the spring, but I have found it best to sow all grass seed of every kind early in the spring, while the snow is yet on the ground, for the snow does not injure the seed, but helps it to get an early start, says a. practical farmer correspondent. Grass is a very active plant, but only so in wet and warm weather. This gives the hint when to sow. In the fall nature has suspended nearly all activity in the grass plant. Whatever is then put in the ground has to fight for bare existence, and if overtaken by drought is sure to succumb. Like the deciduous trees, they are then disposed to store their sap food in their roots under ground, and, like the bears, hibernate, or go to sleep for the winter, and little growth can then be secured, unless the fall should be wet, of which there is no certainty. But in the early spring it is otherwise. Then there is no uncertainty. As early as March the sap begins to flow in the roots of the grasses, and they are then awakened from their long sleep. Now, if at this time the grass seed be sown every seed will grow, especially if sown on the snow, for the dampness of the snow will-swell the seed without injur- ing it, and jus. as soon as the snow is gone it will s ring into life, and will then be nurse by the spring rains be- yond danger ,when' the spring drought comes on. No harrowing is then re- quired, for th melting of the snow, dis- solving fros , nd the early spring rains will sufiiciefit’ly cover the seed. ‘If the Spl ng seeding be deferred until after the grpund is plowed it is then too late. The dissolving frost and spring ‘ rains have then passed, and the dry, hot weather will kill the tender grass plants before they get fairly rooted. This is the reason why grass seed never takes will with oats, for cat ground is usually plowed in the spring after most of the spring rains have passed, but if the ggaund for oats be plowed in the fall and e oats with the grass seed be sown right fter the first snow the grass seed will be sure to take even with oats. Why? Be- icause the ss seed will. then have suf« ficient mois are to give it root before the spring drought sets in. . l '\ l Season 1891. ' Boating, BaI’c—li—idg, Fishing, Picnicking and Resting.
