.4s CULTIVATION OF PEACH TREES.

 Peach trees may be preserved by good managementy twenty, and probably forty or fifty years. They are destroyed from north latitude forty to tEirty-six degrees Fby worm which feeds on the inner bark of the tree, at it's root. This worm issaid to be the offspring of fly of the wasp kind, which deposits its eggs in the bark of the srk,ut sfashe@aFao, -aphiiepis IS yniiIg and teD- der. The remedy consists in searching f;ir the openings in the bark at the root, and taking them out. lftbis operation.is re- peated three or four springs, the worm r,e- yer after can make Judgment there. The bark of the tree by this time becomes so hard, that the fly cannot make the punc- ture, in order to deposit the egg, or if de- posted it perishes. Afterthe worm is cut out in the spring, draw the earth up around the body six or eight inches above the other ground.

 Of all the fruit trees produced in this cli- mate, none bears pruning so freely IS the peach; indeed, it should be treated very much as the vine is. All those branches which have borne fruit shouldbe cut out, if there is young wood to supply their places. Proof-take a1imb which has borne two or three crops of fruit, and notice it's pro- duce take another on the same tree, which has never borne at all, and the fruit on this last will be twice the size of the former, fairer, and less liable to rot. In pruning. the branches should be taken or cut out of the middle of the tree: thus giving more air and sun to the frnit on the outer limbs.

 The peach tree produces best fruit when the ground is not stirred about it when the fruit is on. When it has no fruit it should be cultivated as carefully as cabbage, or any other plant. 9 1ea8

 The above comprises the most important point in :he rearing of peach trees, and good fruit; if attended to, I have never known them to fail, l,-and my experience las not been very limited. .c ,l} A,

 l repeat what may, perhaps. be doubt ed that the peach tree, if the worm is kept out of the root, will live, at least, twenty years ]. and that this may certainly be doBe by attacking them tho first year Sf it's growth, and continuing to extract them for three or fopr years in succession, not forgetting to draw the earth up as directed. Straw, chips. or, trash of any kind, serve the purpose just as well. a2.a .a s "a

 Washington City. Nov. 26, 1883.

 Israel Smith. of Water Street, was brought in on complaint of his wife Eliza, who testified that her husband, qn coming home last night, struck her several blows in the face with, his fist. The dispute seems to have arisen between the parties under tbe following circumstances: Israel is shoemaker, and works in Water st.. and Eliza takes in sewing. Eliza IS fond of good deal of sugar in her tea, and ls- rael is equally fond Of much. rum in his wa ter. As they seated themselves at the tea table last night, about 10 o'clock, Eliza so thought Israel--put more sugar in her lea than he could afford to pay for in these hard times. Israel rennonstrated: Nows Lize,' said he, 'I'll tell you what il is-
