On Pruuini?,
The subject of pruning trees and
vines ot all kinds, the mode, and tho I
k time, and the amount <d pruning to be
done, is receiving much attention irom
pomologisia. As might be expected
i froin the various experience or theoniim
nf observer*, and the stand ooint i
from which they thaw their conclu- [
sions, there is much diversity of opiit- c
ion, some condemning it altogether,]
and others advocating the free use of
the knif. Theae discrepances are more
apparent than real, if we keep in mind
the true and ultinpew object ot pruning,
and Lho ellcc/v U'e wish to produce.
It may safely he asserted a? a general
principle in vegetable physiology,
that all pruning is mere or less lnjurinous
to the well being of the living
plant.
In a state of nature, or when a tree
or vine isjlett to itself, there is a grad"
ual adj ustment and equilibrium ?*ntablished
between the roots and branches.
There are roots enough to absorb and
carry up the nutritive fluid, and there
are branches, u ith their leaven,enough
to work it up and assimilate the nutrition.
When this. equilibriua is disturbed,
injury, (iitj';ase, or death follows.
The degree'of injury will depend
upon circumstances, such as the
amount of pruning, the tiiue when it
is done, and the constitution aad habits
of t.hu particular plant. Some
bear pruning be tier than others, and
in winter better than in summer.
We may take a lesson from iIte manner
in which nature does her pruning.
It is always a mire ami 'ale process*
Take a young tree, a pine tor example. i
There are a number of a/call laterals.
As the tree grows upwards ami the
trunk enlarges, the sap has a tendency*,
to pass on to the upper portion; these
laterals begin to lose their vitality, and
ait length die out and fall to the
ground. Jn the old tree there is not
even a trace Jell of these primary
branches, and there very scars are obliterated
Very different is the effect v/heu, by
artificial means, a vigorous, healthy
--? litub is lopped oil. The equilibrium
between roots and branches is suddenly
destroyed, an/1 the plant receives a
shock to its system, which impairs viJ'
taiity to some extent*
Hut in all kinds of cultivation,
whether ioc jurivauient or lor iruit,
we find it citi/;cihlhH:lc,';^ce somewhat

lor some < .ad vantage to be gained,

by reduci. r,.e amount ot woody

it be the ptjjjMClimi ol' fruit or tiovers,

the longevity ?*^Lj'ur plant. Il the
plant coul'l n%\ Mt'yish these requisites,
it would ribionc wortlt the cultivation
at all. C'm true end and aim
o! all pruning, therefore, is to do jubt
so much ot it and no more, as will
give the best results, with the leas*, injury.
And tins must ho ascertained
by practical observation and experi?
once.
The above remarks are of course intended
to apply to such things as arc
growing and lixed permanently for life.
In transplanting it is necessary to
prune. No matter how careful a tree
may be taken up, tbo roots are injured
more or less, according to the care
used. 1
In proportion as .To roots are lessened,
so must we lessen the brandies.
Even in transplanting small things
from the nursery bed when all the
roots can he secured, it requirs time
lor the absorbing functions to commence
tluir supply of fluid, aud so it
i? best always to pinch oft* a portion of
the leaves, and thus restore the equilibri

ICIlin Case, a young woman employ '

at Oakland, Cah, was attacked by a

enjoyed a large practice. Ueallv, lie j
was a maniac, and insanely in love I
w ith the girl whom he was summoned
to treat. Uc had made some advance*,
which she li.nl repulsed. The
sight ol her ill, put. the idea',into his

ipiaits of her blood he con Id construct
iroui it an exact counterpart ot her.
This counterfoil creation, he supposed,

bleed tlie girl, and he actually let out
from her arm I ho two quails that he
wanted, taking it away in a pail.
The operation was injurious to the patient
ami nearly killed her. Another
physician was sent for, and upon hearing
what Dr. lYnifjek had done, he

Telegraphic blunders.
Of all thedreaks of the Telegraph
the following is one of the most laugh "
able: A young man when about to
start lor his new parish, was uwx.pectely
detained by the inoApaeity of
his Presbytery to ordain him. In
order to explain hist non-arrival at the
| appointed time, he sent the following
| telegram to the-di-aeons ot the church:
"Presbytery lack* d a quorum to ordain."
In the course ot its journey
the message got stangely metamorphosed,
and reached tho astonished
deacons in thi* shape; ? "I'resb\tery
tacked a worm on to Adam." The
sober church oiliccrs were sorely disconipostd
ami mystified, but alter
grave consultation, concluded it was
the minister's laeetious wav ?>l an
