Treatment of an Orchnrd.
L. 0. Ln.Tton, Amity, N. Y., writes s
1 Jiave a benntiful young orchard of
rrlc-frce, Tthicb. eppenr n floe and
llirifty-looliiiig ns any that I ever saw
And yet, t Ley do not lenr fruit to any
exletit. I see from the columns of your
excellent 1'nj.er tlint lime, is recomfnen
ded for the purpose. But my object
in this witiiiR is for information as to
he quantity to be applied, and whether
it should be air-slacked or not. Also,
if it would not prevent tue borers from
Pe"in?nintby applying a quantity
avonnd the trunks of said trees? I wash
my trees every spring with potash, and
yet am bothered vt-ry much with the
borers. I think they would have
1 wined the whole orchard if I had not
worked faithfully and energetically in
destroying them. It is under a beauti
nil swnrcl, aiid I wish to keep it thus.
The ground is kept rich by stable
manure, but none is allowed against
the trunks of the trees. Sometimes I
yut coul ashes and sometimes wood
aiimnd tncm. Can see no virtue in
ccal ashr.s, and no benefit from them,
tsuept as a mulch."
Ueply. The unfmitfnlness is doubt
is due to the vigorous growth of
wood. There cannot be both wood
growth and fruit. Lime and ashes are
ervicenble to induce a growth of wood,
but, are not of much service to produce
fruit. The beRt plan would be to re
frain from any further manuring, and
to prune the trees ir the spring after
they have leaved, which will have the
effect to check the growth of wood and
to turn tbj Rnp to the fruit-buds. The
pruning should be either by pinching
tlie ends of tho shoots or. by cutting
away some of the superfluous wood. It
lequires a good deal of judgment to
prune successf ully, and some good
work, as Hurry's "Fruit Garden,"
should be onrefully studied, so that the
principles on which pruning is per
formed 1)0 thoroughly understood. It
is probable, however, that the stoppage
of further immuring; and a moderate
pruning of the young growing wood
just before blossoming would be sufflci-t-iit
to induce very awi-ly fruiting. The
borer must bo guarded against with
constant watchfulness. JJenps of wood
nshes or coal ashes around tho tree will
be of some good eileot, as will ulso kill
ing the worms by thrusting a sharp
wire into the hules they have made.
To Organize a Farmer' Club.
Call together your neighbors at the
pchool-houso (with llio consent of the
Trustees) or at your own home. Seleit
a Chairman and Secretary ; propose a
top:c for consideration and discussion ;
let one mau tn!k at a time and the rest
listen ; give each one a chanae to talk ;
adjourn, to meet again ou some other
farm, after h-..ving fixed upon a subject
for discussion at the next meeting. This
is the simplest, most direct, and quick
est way of organizing a club. No by
laws or constitution is really necessary.
If the club grows and becomes influen
tial, as it will, and it is found that the
men who say the least do the most talk
ing, and it is therefore desirable to
limit them ai to the time consumed and
the frequency of their speeches, a mo
tion that speeches be limited to ten
minutes uvoept by general consent, will
usually pass and prove effectual. The
least cniulx -rnotno you make your or
ganization by loading it down with con
stitution and rules, the more work will
be accomplished. Of course start such
a club. Induce the wives and boys and
girls to attend by appointment. Meet
on some Saturday. Make it a picnic.
Don't get up a strife among yourselves
about mtei'taiument. Let nil join in
being useful ; seek to secure knowledge
and elicit facts, and have a good time.
Let it be remembered that tho most ig
norant man in any neighborhood pos
sesses some wisdom which may be cul
tivated and become useful, by just such
means for development as farmers'
clubs have always proved to be.
Three Tons ot liny per Arre.
Mr. George Geddes reports that he
cut and drew eig'.ty loads of timothy
and clover liny from nineteen acres, and
that an average load weighed l.ZOO
pounds; thus the whole field must have
yielded three tons per acre. He also
reports Mr. Swaby, of Seneca Falls,
as having drawn forty loads from
twelve acres of clover. These were cer
tainly lino crops, but it must be re
membered that hay a drawn from the
field will shrink from ten to twenty per
cent., and that these three tons will
not weigh out more than two and one
half tons, at roost, in winter. Mr. Ged
des also cut a second crop of clover
seed of three to six bushels aii acre. He
thinks the land can stand this sort of
cropping by making clover and timothy
the principal crop to be fed out on the
farm or pastured off year after year. He
instauces tho fact that, probably, this
crop on this nineteen acres is the lar
gest that has ever been cut on it.
We doubt the soundness of this the
ory, whatever mar be the fact of this
particular piece of land. There must,
certainly, be carried off in seed and flesh
of animals much fertility, and this is
not replaced by tho manure returned.
This laud, by good cultivation, may
have abundant fertility to supply crops
for a life-time, but tue end must come
unless the mineral constituents are re
turned, in some form, to the soil.
liural JJome,
The Hop Trntle.
Just now, says a hop circular, the
Lop trade is attracting the attention
of producers. Hops areheld at 45
to CO cents in the hop districts.
Buyers are offering 40 to 45 cents.
The foreign prospects have im-
E roved, and the crop abroad is much
etter than it was supposed it would be
a month ago. California hops have
sold in this market at CO cents per
pound, but the quality was superb:
Foreign iiopa are being imported, and
domestic buyers are only taking, at the
present prices of holders, just what they
are compelled to to keep things moving.
The maxim among shrewd farmers is to
sell their produce whenever they can
make a good profit on the capital and
labor invested in a crop by doing so.
We have known quite as much money
lost in the aggregate by "holding on "
after a fair oiler had been made as by
"letting go." Hops at 45 to 50 cents
per pound ought to yield the farmer
profit enough, and the wise man will
not hold them long after receiving an
offer of such prices.

A Bold Bobbery.
Nearly four toilet below the village of
Catskill, on the west bank of the HnoV
on, resides Abraham Post, a worthy,
well-to do farmer. At about 6:30 p. it.,
a few days since, Mr. Pest, Lis wife and
daughter (the latter about, twenty-two
years of age), Lis son Edward, and
their hired man, on Irishman, were
quietly eating their supper, when the
door leading from the main hall to the
dining-room was abruptly pushed open
and six men entered and rushed up to
the table. Each one of the Bcoundrels
drew a revolver, Rnd leveling llio wea
pons at the Lead of each member of
the family, werned all to keep quiet or
they would blow their brains out.
While five of the robbeVs thus hold the
five inmates of the house quiet, the
6ixth one drew four pairs of new hand
cuffs from underneath his coat and in
regular order snapped the bracelets
upon every person at the table exoept
the daughter. The latter showed no
fear, but while the handcuffing was pro
greasing gave the thieves such a severe
"talking" to, that finally, becoming
exasperated, one of the robbers etepped
np to her and said i " Well, yon are so
sassy, I guess we ll handcuff yon, too,"
and the scoundrels handcuffed the whole
family together, including a colored
girl, who entered the dining-room at
the tima. Not feeling perfectly safe
even then, the thieves procured a bed
cord and firmly tied that around the
entire family, and then one of them
stood guard over the captured group
while tho others commenced to ransack
the house. They entered every room
in the building, tore open bureau
drawers, broke open trunks, smashed
locks ou closets, aud secured about
$2,000 in money and valuables.
For over one hour the thieves re
mained in the house, stealing whatever
they could lay their hands on in the
way of valuables. They even approached
their bound victims laughingly, and
toook rings from their fingers and put
them on their own. They also sat down
to the supper-table and ate all they
wished to. While they were eating,
Edward Post endeavored to free him
self. He told them he had seen two of
them the clay previous at the Catskill
Fair, and one of them replied : " Well,
what of it ?" When they got all they
wanted, they, bade tho family good
night and departed. For one hour
afterward the imprisoned men and wo
men tried to free themselves, and finally
the son did get loose, when he started
for Catskill Village, and told his story.
The Sheriff and others repaired to the
scene as quickly as possible, and with
the proper keys succeeded in releasing
all. Immediutelv tlio tcrtiiva nf !

Rattle Hctwppu a Mouse and c
Tarantula.
Three or four hours after the battle
between the tarantula and tho scorpion,
the tarantula was stirred up and found
to be as sprightly as ever, to a!l appear
ances having suffered no bad efl'ects
from the stings that had been given him
by tho scorpion. A sprightly little
mouse was now put into the bottle, and
kb he entered the tarantula bristled up
spitefully nud commenced the attack.
Walking toward the mouse quite rapidly,
ho gathered Limself, when within a
short, distance, and jumping into the
air, descended upon the back of his
mouseship and seized him by the back
of the neclt, encircling him with his
long legs. The mouse evidently had
not comprehended the situation until
now. Over aud over they rolled, with
all the advantage in favor of the taran
tula. In about two minutes the spider
let go, and both went to their corners.
Afrer they had rested the bottle was
tipped, and encouraged by his success
in the first round, the tarantula again
made the attack. The mouse exhibited
"game," and dodging the tarantula,
which tried to regain its former hold
upon the mouse's neck, seized the spider
in his teeth just as the latter fastened
his fangs into his back. The mouse
sunk his teeth into the body of Lis foe,
and blood spurted out quite freely.
This was more than the tarantula had
looked for, and vainly ho tried to shake
the mouse off. After he had Lad his
bite " out," another rest was taken.
During the three hours that they were
in tho bottle together, about twenty
rounds were fought, in four of which
the mouse bit the tarantula through the
body. The bites of the spider did ut.t
sreni to affect the mouse injuriously.
When the last ttriiggle ended, the
tarantula retreated to his end of the
bottle, keeled over upon his back, and,
after a few convulsive kicks, expird.
The tarantula was overhauled after he
died, and his fangs measured a little
over a sixteenth of an inch in length.
The mouse was as lively as ever next
morning, nud when last seen had suc
ceeded iu getting out of his prison and
was sitting on end, making a meal of
something he had foraged.
Winter and the Pooi,
There ore signs already abroad of a
hard winter for the poor, and for a por
tion of the laboring class. The busi.
ness panic and tho shrinkage of values
are causing considerable numbers of
manufacturers and employers of labor
to discharge their workmen, especially
in the trades directly or indirectly con
nected with railroad's. Other branches
of production, that have no immediate
connection with railroads, aro cutting
down expenditures and reducing their
laboring force, partly because they are
not making their own collections easily,
and partly because they wish to be
ready for the new state of prices soon
to commence. The recent dead-lock in
moving products will bring back its re
action lor months to come. The West
ern dealers who were indebted to East
cm merchants and forwarders have
been unable to meet their obligations,
and delay and caution have obstructed
the links of commerce and exchange all
the way through. The final loss will
come on labor at both ends of the chain.
This can last but a short time. Busi
ness will soon recover. Tho poor will
be ultimately better off, as they will eu
joy " hard-money " prices and a stable
currency. All that they buy will cost
less, though their own labor may com
maud apparently lower wages. Specie
currency is the blessing of the laboring
class. But during the transition, and
in recovering from this temporary stop
page of business, our benevolent com
munity must expect to assist the poor
est of the working classes. Children
must not be left houseless, or to suffer
for bread, or to grow up exposed to
temptation and crime. Let each be
nevolent person resolve that his own
misfortunes shall not dry up his little
benefactions, but that something shall
go still from his superfluities for the
aid of the hungry, naked, houseless,
and neglected,
A Frightful name.
The yellow fever has been confined
lo no particular locality, and tich and
poor have suffered alike, says a letter
from Memphis. Nor do the citizens
void any particular spot except Happy
Hollow, where the plague is said first
to have broken out a miserable, tumble-down
place inhabited by the very
poor, and how looked upon as a verit
able Gehenna. Here at the very start
ing of the disease there gteat suf
fering, for the people were not able or
indeed willing to call in medioal assist
ance. It seems now that them Veia
some thirty depths before the sanitary
ai'.thorities made theirformal announce
ment that the pestilence was upon us,
and then it had obtained a sure foot
hold. The disease begins with a chill
and a pain in thehend, back, and limbs,
which is often followed by delirium.
The stomach will not retain food, and
feels as though it was on fire. The face
is puffed and swollen like that of a con
firmed drunkard, and the eyes are red
and extremely sensitive to light, and
gradually the orange or darker hue
characteristicof the disease extends to
neck, breast, and extremities. The per
son attacked, is often remarkably rest
less, changes his position constantly,
and his face assumes n look of intense
nervous anxiety or is fierce and threat
ening. Then comes an abatement of
the symptoms, the shin grows moist
end coel, pain partly vanishes; nud the
patient is apparently growing well. The
third state is one of prostration; tho
pulse becomes more frequent and fee
ble, and the skin darker, the tongue is
large aud moist, or brown and dry, or
smooth, red, fissured, and bleeding.
The stomach again becomes irritable,
the vomiting is often incessant, and the
matter ejected contains dark flakes
which, if the case goes on, gradually be
comes the terrible "black vomit," which
looks like a mixture f coffee grounds
or soot. Low, muttering delirium su
pervenes, and in a few hnurs the victim
dies. In connection with one of the re
lief societies it has been my Unhappy
fortune to witness many such cases of
snffering aggravated by all the horrors
of squalor aud poverty; the black vomit,
would plash hour after hour into basins
or against the wall near which the suf
ferer lay, in some cases deserted by all
his family, for the terror occasioned by
the disease readily takes the form o'f
panic fear and overcomes all sense of
moral obligation and natural affection.
One of our city officials refused the oth
er day to attend the funeral of his own
mother, for fear of being attacked by
the fever. Indeed this is not to bo won
dered at, although attendance on the
sick is by no means necessarily fatal.
No one comes to the city who can possi
bly escape doing so, and there ara many
noble men and women who have devoted
their'whole time to the infected. The
efforts of the Howard Association in this
direction are beyond all praise. It has
supplied 20 nurses, and its daily expen
diture is at least SI. 400. The'Masons,
the CMd Fellows, Knights of Pythias,
and the secret socioties generally, have
fulfilled their best mission to the best
of their ability, and now find themselves
ia desperate need of money to continue
as they have begun. Yes, as I Baid be
fore, money and supplies are coming in
rapidly from all sections of the country,
and now that the plague .is abating its
tnry, there will doubtless be little more
trouble in this respect, though sow the
need i pressing.
Hints About Di-essen.
A single row of trimming straight
down the middle of the front breadth
of the skirt is very stylish. For in
stance, a row of" shell pleating, of cut
steel buttons, or else three or four of
the new bows made of long loops of
doubled silk, with the ends finished with
an ornament like the head of tassels, or
the funnel-shaped affairs that suggest
the upholsterer's ornaments on cur
tains. Horizontal and diagonal tablicrs are
newer than those made of several per
pendicular bands or puffs. The cross
wise tabliers are reversed pleats, or else
careless-looking folds, tacked on each
width, or else groups of crescent-shaped
foids with bands of jet trimming e
tween each group. Diagonal tabliers
are merely piped bands of the material
of the trimmiug, or else shirred puff.
Throat knots, side knots fastened on
the left of the belt, or else a knot with
long ends for the front of the waist, are
ornaments found on French dresses.
They are sometimes made of watered
ribbon, especially on black dresses,
but ore most frequently of doubled
silk, two or three inches wide when
finished.
New sashes of black volvet aro two
long straight pendent streamers, trimm
ed with lace and jet, or else fringed,
while half-way down them a pretty lit
tle pocket is simulated. Sashes of wide
ribbon are now worn directly in the
middle of the back, and consist of two
long ends with the top laid over the flat
loops, that avoid giving a bouffant ap
pearance. Tortoise-shell buttons, very large
and exquisitely carved, are just intro
duced for trimming suits of camel's
hair, velvet polonaises, jackets, etc.
White silk tabliers, wrought all over
with "white jet" frosty-looking white
beads are to be used for ball dresses
of white aud pale-tinted silks.
Demi-trained skirts of dinner dresses
are without over-skirts, but are trimm
ed with three kinds of trimming. The
back breadths are flounced from the
belt to the edge, the side breadths are
covered by along square-cornered width
of satin or velvet tacked flatly to the
skirt, and the frout breadths Lave a
tablier of reversed pleats or else tf di
agonal bands.
Sleeveless basques of light blue or
pink silk, with insertions of Valencien
nes lace let in the silk, or worn owr
dinner dresses of black fcilk.
The long heavy over-skirts'now worn
are sewed to the belts of the lower
skirts, making only two pieces in the
costume that is, the basque and skirt.
In such cases the ovr-skirt must open
behind, just as the lower skirt does.
Ladies will find it a good plan to tack
the new over-skirts (iu several places in
the seams) to the lower skirt, since the
simple straight breadths now used are
easily blown out of place, and the beau
ty of the costume impaired thereby. In
some plaiu but extravagant dresses the
Ions straight breadths are made of
doubled silk. This, however, seems
useless expense, as a deep facing is
quite sufficient.

A Direct Tote for President.
What It I Proposed to nbstltuta for
the Present Electoral Collage,
The U. S. Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections is Composed of
two Republicans aud one Democrat.
The Pcheme lately put forth by the
committe, looking to such an alteration
of the orgaoto law that the present
mode of electing President and Vice
President will bo abolished, exhibits,
therefore, tho opinion of representative
men of both of the great nolitical rati
tie. riesonted to tho Senate as "the
product of an unanimous committee, it
is not likely to create a serious division
in that body certainly not a party di
visionand we may, thereSore, regard
it as a foregone conclusion that within
the next three years, and before the
next Presidential election takes place,
the Eleotoral College will be nbolished,
and a direct vote for President and
Vice-President by the people on this
plan ordered. The scheme proposed by
the committee, however, dos not con
template the erasure of .State lines.
While the people will vote far Presi
dent instead of electors, the relative
power of the States, as in the present
system, will be preserved. Each State
will be divided into as many districts as
it is entitled to representatives in Con
gress, composed of contiguous territory,
and ns nearly equal in population as
may be, and the person having the
highest number of votes for President
iu each district will be considered to
have one district vote for President.
Each State will also have two votes at
large. The person who sha.1 have the
highest number of district and State
votes shall be President.
A majority of all the votes, as in the
Electoral College, is not required, and
the contingency of an election by the
House of Representatives is thus avoid
ed. In practice this plan would work
as follows : The State of New York,
with its present population, would be
divided into thirty-two districts. Dis
trict number one would probably be
composed of Queens, Richmond and
Suffolk counties, as at present, and on
the day appointed for the election the
people of tho district would assemble
ut their respective polling places and
vote directly for any persons whom they
pleased for President and Vice Presi
dent. At the close of the poll the re
turns might stand thus : Hendricks,
(5,000; Grant, 5,000; Banks, 4,000;
Morton, 3,000 ; scattering, 2,000. In
this case Hendricks would have the
"Presidential vote" of the district,
which would count "one" for him in
the genera! count. The same process
would obtain in each of the other thirty
one districts. Thus in the general
count the State of New York might
east for Hendrics 13 district votes,
Grant 10, Banks 4, Morton 3, scattering
2, and Hendricks having the largest pop
ular vote in the State, would have two
additional Presidential votes added to
the number given above. On a stated
day Congress would collect all the dis
trict Presidential votes and the State
Presidential votes, and the person hav
ing tho largest number of such votes
would be declared to be President ; the
same provision being applied to the
choice for Vice President.
Ocean Monsters:
Lsst month while an American bark
was on its way to Norway she became
in the vicinity of tho Upper Loffodon
Islands. Suddenly the sea was seen at
a short distance to heave tumultuously
as if moved from a profound depth.
Suspecting the presence of whales, the
officers of the ship took the precaution
to place the crew at the sidesof tke ves
sel armed with grappling irons and mus
kets loaded with ball. Soon afterwards
fifteen enormous marine monsters were
seen swimming toward the ship. One
of them with half its body out of the
water passed the side of tke vessel, and
as it did so it was riddled with balls
from the muskets of the crew. The
shots killed it instantly. An examina
tion of the prize showed that it was not
a whale, as had been thought, but that
it was a specimen of the cetacean fami
ly, known as tho physetermicrops, the
latter application being given t it be
cause of the Muailness of its eyes. This
species is the most terrible, the strong
est, aud the swiftest of the formidable
uiammifers which frequent the waters
of the Arctic seas. It is prompt and
audacious in combat, aud seeks its
prey with ferocious avidity. The re
cognized monarch of the polar seas, it
pursues, attacks, and devours the strong
est of its kind. With its powerful
teeth, sharp, conical, and bent inward
toward the throat, this monster tears
its prey to pieces, and.Jon occasions, in
ordor to secure possession of a seal,
will crush enormous blocks of ice upon
which the latter may be floating. The
specimen killed by the American crew
was louud to measure over seventy-five
feet in length, and its bHlk, as it lay
upon the water, equalled that of a medium-sized
bark.
Cruelty to Animals.
During n recent visit to England,
says Dio Lowis, I was surprised and
pained at the many evidences of cruelty
umong the people. I stood on tho cor
ner of Regent and Oxford streets two
hours, and counted the number of cuts
received by horses. It was 408, aud
tho whips used by the cab-drivers there
are very severe. When I returned to
America, I spent the first two spare
hours (which happened to be the busi
est on the street) on the corner of
Broadway aud Canal streets, in New
York, aud couuted the number of whip
cuts within the range of my vision.
It was 14, nud the whips used by the
aew lorn drivers are nothing compared
with those used by London drivers.
During seven weeks in London I saw
a woman beaten by a mau in the street
nine times. i nave never witnessed
such brutality in America.
The new game of Polo on horseback,
inaugurated last summer in the pres.
ence ot royalty and uncounted nobility,
on the Grand Park at Windsor Castle,
I witnessed. Tha ruel tortures to
which the beautiful uouies were sub
jected would not be permitted in the
Unibed States. Not only would ladies
and lespectable men refuse to look on
aud approve, but the authorities would
bo compelled to interfere.
Still, in some of the highest ladies'
sclioois m England grown women are
whipped, and in the colleges the beat
ing of the younger bovs by the older
would not be submitted to by American
savages. It is not matched by anything
in niBtory.

About ' Betsey and I.'
Petroleum V. Nasby tells how Mr.
Will Carleton's most famous poem came
near being lost in the Waste-barrel.
" Betsey and I are Out " wss first sent
to the Toledo Blade in Mr. Locke's ab
sence, and his partner looked at the
verses and threw them in tho waste
basket, which, as Nasby says, "hap
pened to be a barrel." When ho came
home, Mr. Locke went fishing in the
barrel, and the first thing he pulled out
was this poem, which happened to Catch
his eye. Whereupon the senior partner
mildly inquired, iu tones of thuuder,
" Dock, don't you know any better than
to throw away such stuff as that ? We'd
better print it." The last verse was lost
in the fragments, and the editor wrote
to Mr. Carloton, asking bim to com
plete it. But he kept no copy, and had
to compose an ending which don't leave
much doubt in the minds of the Toledo
lUade people who is the real author of
the ballad.
Destitution Actld Splendor.
Doubtless there are many persona m
situated, say the New York charitable
societies, in their appeals for aid, as not
to appreciate the fact that to a large
class of other persons the coming of
winter is a dread calamity. Yet it is a
terrible fact that the season of operas,
and theatres, and balls, and sleighing
parties it warm and cheerful palace
halls in the city, and houses glowing
with great wood fires in the country
is the season of distress to many thou
sands, the season to which they look
forward with serious apprehension.
Darkness and despair appear to sur
round them wherever they look. It is
estimated that sit hundred thousand
people in New York city make their
homes in tenement houses. Of these,
one hundred thousand are women who
live by manual labor, of whom the
greater part are unmarried.

Nashua (N. H.) Teleqruph says, "The

machines in Nashua affirm that the ac

little less than 813. Tho way people
have been swindled is about the same
as robbery."

soraut oau ua raaany ouua,
Let va Consider. Since the intro
duction of distilled tpirili in the Six
teenth Century, they have been habitu
ally prescribed as remedies. We know
that alcohol, in all its forms, is perni
cious to health. Knowing these things
and that under the system of treatment
which includes their use, the mortality
among the sick is, and ever ban been,
enormous, is it not worth while to try
the effect of a remedy which combines
in their highest excellence the qualities
of a Tonic, an Alterative and a Regula
tor ; contains no mineral bane or mur
derous alkaloid or alcoholio r'son '
does its curative office without pain and
with uniform certainty 7 Dr. Walker's
Vtneoab Bitters fulfills all these con
ditions, and is now effecting the most
extraordinary cures in eases where every
specifio" of the faculty has ignomin
iously failed. Consider, in view of
these facts, whether any sick person is
justified by reason and common sense
in declining to test the virtues of this
undefiled and irresistible remedy.

NEW YORK, 1 WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND D AILY.
THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known to require any extended recommends,
tion; but tlie reasons which have already given it fifty thousand subscribers and
which will, we hope, give it muny thousands more, are briefly as follows: '
It is s first-rute newspaper. A'l the news of the day will be found In It, eon. 1
densed when uniinportnnt, at full length when of luomeut, aud always presented la
a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate futility paper, full of enteitoiningnndlriBtructivereadlngof every
kind, but rontaiiiino nntliinn tin.! mn nffanrl li nir.t HoliontA t. ... - ' .
It is a first-rate story paper. The beBt tales end romances of current literature'
are carefully selected and lpgibly printed In its psges.
It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresh and Instructive articles oa
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no eol.
lar. It tights for principle, and for the election of the bent men to office It es
pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, uiid thraten to undermine republican institutions
altuirether. It lias no fear nf knives nnrl aaVa nn t.u. -.., .!.:. .'
It reports the fashions for the Indies, and the markets for the men. especially tha
cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention. . .
Finally, it Is the cheapest paper publishes;. One dellar a year will sernre it for
any subscriber. It is not necessary to get up a club in order to lave THE WEEKLY
BUN at this rata. An ona who suuda a aingla dollar will get tha paper for a year.
