In "Well's Il lustrated Annual" for-1875, we find the following secret in regard tix successful plum raising : "There is a secret about plum railing. We have discovered it ia traveling; over the country. We never visited a large plum orchard in our life that we did not find plenty of fruit. And we never vis ited any place with tight or ten trees, and found a good crop of the fruit. Now, these facts set us to thinking? and tli3 re sult of our thoughts is this : that it is very easy to have all the plums you want to eat and sell. The secret connected with plum raising is to plant plenty of trees, so as to give fruit to the curculio and to yourself also. If you plant fifty or a hundred trees, you will have fruit enough for everybody. tvery sucu orcuarci mat ws nave ever visited had plenty of ripe fruit. Some even complained that the curculio did not thin out the fruit enough that the trees were overloaded. So w e say to our read ers, if you plant plums nt all, plant fifty or one hundred trees then you will be sure to have all the fruit you w ant, and it is one f.t the most profitable crops raised." Strangled by a Cat. That a cat will suck a child's breath has been ofler claim ed but it has generally been counted an cld time superstition unworthy of attention at this age of the world. Wc have, how ever, an incident in point, substantiated by the best authority, which will show that such cases do hapjicn, and ser,-e as a warning to mothers against allowing their babies to be left alone with a cat. A te w days ago the wife of captain J. Boyd Epy, Ot Epsyviile, left her baby boy lying in the crib while she busied herself about her household duties, Her attention was at tracted shortly after by the child making a strong noise, and on toing to his crib found their cat with its mouth and no-e pressed into the babe's mouth, and his pairs on cither side of the child's head. The little fellow was doing his utmost to extricate himself, but w ithout avail, and but for the fortunate appearance of his mother would probably have strangled to death. It was with considerable dii'.icul ty that the cat was removed. Mr. Espy, who is known as one of the most rispecta ble citizens, luruishcs these facts, and vouches for their correctness. Vvnrn-itvt-tille Courier. , I.N commenting upon the failure of a newspajicr manager, the St. Louis Civic tells a plain truth in the following words: "The business of journalism will continue to lie an inviting field for experiments to those w ho have a large amount of egotism. A man, who, having edijed a newspaper j until ne was lorty, snoiua suuuf -aiy an nounce himself as a lawyer, would be re garded as a fool by the legal profess: on; and yet wc often hear of lawyers of forty making sudden pretensions to journalism. There is an idea that -the business of edit ing rapuiresnoapprcntict'ship: that editors come forth from law offices, and colleges fully armed for the profession, like Pallas trom the brow of Jove. I is a mistake; there is not in America to-day a smile journalist of national refutation w ho has not devoted more tunc and moreha.d work to his profession than, with equal fitness and application, would have made him a great lawyei or a good doctor. And yet ninety out of every hundred men you meet on the street will hesitate about carry inx a hod or making a pair of shoes, w hereas there will probably not be one in the hun dred who can't, according to his own judgment, edit any newspaper in thecoun- try better than tt is edilevl, no matter in what manner or by whom." For the SHMiieraet II tu alii.) Some wiseacre, in the editorial columns of the Meyersdalc Yalley Independent, oc casionally lectures our County Commis sioners on the rate of taxation they have adopted. He is not content w ith the re duction of two mills on the dollar, and thinks a reduction of four mills would be the proper thing. He says there is "a sur plus of fourteen thousand dollars in the treasury and in uncollected taxes." Does he nut know that these outstanding taxes are not tangible ; that a similar amount is always uncollectible? How happy all persons in business would be it they could iruiniuiiy count as eosn their bad debts. Our commissioners would willingly exempt, every man in Somerset County trom taxation it they could keep up its creuit ami maintain tiie administration ot justice w ithout it. They are discreet men and have affixed such a rate as w ill not be oppressive and yet be sufficient to defray necessary expenses. 1 he writer of this is not old, and ytt he remembers when he sold county orders at 25 percent, discount, and had to take payment in store-goods at that. Such sacrifices of that which should hava been as good as wheat were common at one time, Ioes the writer in the Inde- pendfntVwish this state of affairs to occur again? AS". Pofsirle Effects of the Cold Term. The Boston Journal remarks : The ef fect of this cold period on vegetation be gins already to excite the atteition ot ag riculturalists. Less degrees of add than have been attained this winter have some times proved very disastrous. It is to lie observed, however, that the mere contin uance of the cold period is of little im portance as compared with the lowest de gree reached. Even that is more iniuri- ous from the suddenness of its coming and the circumstances attending it, than trom the simple effect of the cold. It w ill be remembered that one of our winters a few years ago was nnprecedtutly destructive to trees and shrubs, particularly ever green's, although the cold was no greater than is often experienced. The ground was bare, the cold storms were accompa nied with icy winds ; and there were other causes of injury which have not been well understood by experts to this day. There is good reason to hope, therefore, that the prevailing cold season, in New England at least, notwithstanding its al most unexampled prolongation and inten sity, may not prove especially injurious to vegetation. The ground is everywhere well covered with snow, the cold has come on gradually and remained with great steadiness, and the air has been dry. Peach, Plum and cherry trees mav sutler. but the hardier trees and grass will proba bly come out uninjured. Tur. s nior of this paper would doubt-; less be obliged io I'm memiieis of the!

A.1 Hiii:i;i!;lk Affair. iiocking i'iccuiTeru--'S, tho rt-: ne ::tal of th-s of vvliii Uiaki-sthebloi.nl run cold in one's vi ins?, transpired in Belfast township, this coun ty, on l::-t Sabbath afternoon, the 14th tnt., by which three innocent little- children's lives were sacrificed by the criminal ueg-Iijp-nce of their thoughtiesi parents. Wc have from reliable authority the following particulars of the snd affair: On Saturday about three o'clock, Daniel B. Mellutt and w ife left their house, taking their young baby with them, but leaving their three other children in the hui'.se the oldest ol width was only about five years of age. Before departing, th'-y li'-d the young'-st, that was unable to walk, in a chair before the blazing lire on the hearth, secured the windows and locked the door. About an hour afterwards a Mr. Sipes-, a neighbor, remarked a peculiar smell in the air, but not being aide to trace its origin. In: pro ceeded in his work of feeding his stock, to lie interrupted shortly alter by noticing (ttr.se smoke proceeding from Mr. Mellott's residence. Ou hastening to the .-cents ho was compelled to break down the door, r.ml on the instant the kou.-c w3 in Hamcs, and all efforts to be ot assistance to the vic tims within were futile. The theory of the lira is that a spark was ejected l'rrni the fire and lodged on the clothing of the child that was placed before it, and the blav from its clothing coir.mur.icitinz it self v i.h other infl.uum.ible material near by. The charred bones of the other two children were found ui the extreme corner of the room where they had crept, iastiue tivulv, lomvndn. Itorril.lc tlervtli as lonir. as possible. This is deplorable, look at it whichever way we may. However cul pable the negligence oi' the parents, no pen cm portray their unutterable anguija to find nothing left of their children but a handful of ttshe? that even the w inds could sport with: their own heads without shel ter, and the looks and actions of their neighbors such as to keep before them the aw ful fact that they were the indirect au thors of the dire calamity. We regret to siy that the parents have been warned of the dangers of leaving theirchiidren alone in a room w here fire was burnin-, not only by threats of proseciition by their neigh bors, but by the children themselves on a previous occasion carrying live coals from the fire place to the window and almost UMTOU'ri NOTICE. p.Din' ivurt oi Sti!if,rt (unty t.j niakeaui lriiu(i)u vt t!;f run !? ia thu Juui'Is oi" Ja-.r ir. an-l .! am"? .M. li-hlor, A-'lmini.-tratore of ahriei .liiilt.r. tit-.: !., t an-l aio'jtu; tlie loyally en titU'.l tI.LTt. tirri-y ivi- U"ti-o that h will att'-ri'l t-i the 'hui -i sail ajtiiiutTRfnt at his t-',n tho fM-ruh ot i-mrr-ei ou TUurJuy, Mar-h, lth al 10 o:!yrk a in. i'i-4 Aulitor.

The dog proved entirely strange in the neigh borhood, and Mr. D's conclusion was that be had brousbt the tbz from a Ion; dis- hince and failed to catch his game until he caught it in the place where lie was touno.
