In nearly thirty.vears of experiment ing and carer d culture Mr. Bull, at ( oncjrd, has raised 22,000 seedlings of lira pes, from which he has saved twenty-two vines worth keeping, aud he has a descendant of the Concord which ri pens as early as the 23th of August.

The cruel waste of burning up great piles of straw after the wheit is thresh ed .should be stunned. Good bright i i o wht-at straw, put up in good stacks, will keep cattle, s;ietp and hors-js in lair condition all winter, if propcly fed to them. An id'owauee of one or two small feeds of coro per day, it is true, will be quite an aid. Iowa State Register. It is not alone the unripe fruit ex-po.-ed for sale on curbstone stands in the city that makes work for the doc tors and undertakers.

Fruit Canning. Put a pint of warm water in a bain and hy in a flan nel folded several thicknesses, being careful that the flannel is a little larger than the bottom of the dish.

All anticipate good times in the near future, as every thing goes to show, at the present All are satisfied that the inin-s are a permanent thing and will hold out well, saving OrgoiVs reputation for a quartz bearing state, most other mines having only prospered for a shoit time.

San Francisco, Aug. 26 The chief of police, county and police judges and the sheriff, have had a consnltation with regard to removing De Young from the city prison to the county jail. It was fianlly decided to keep Jiim where he is, as the jail con Id not be so eisily defended as the prison. The working men's guards have been with drawn from the Metropolitan Temple and only a few police remain on duty to keep the street quiet. Shortly before noon, Kalloch's medical attendants held a consultation and as a result, announ ced the patient decidedly improved. Printing Office Secrets. A properly conducted printing oftiice is as much a secret a3 a Masonic lod"e. The printers are not under oath of se crecy, but always feel themselves as tru ly in honor bound to keep office secrets as though triple-oathed. Any employe in a printing dlice who willingly disre gards this r :le in relation to printing office secrets would j.ot only be sei ned by his brethren of the craft, bur would lose his position at once. We make this statement because it sometimes happens that a communication appears in a newspaper under an assumed sig nature, which excites comment, ard va rious parch s try to find our, who is the author. Let all be saved the trouble of questioning the employes of the prin ting office. They are know-nothings mi such points as these. On such matters they have eyes and ears, no mouth, and if any fail to observe this rule, let them be put down as dishonorable members of tho cr..ft. It. is the same in job pnn.t. ing. If anythir g is to be printed and kept secret, li t proper notice be given of the desire for secrecy, and vou mifht as well question the Sphyi.x as orie of the printers, so that even the secret bo'iks for the lodges are printed with out fear.

The meet ing has no particular connection with the Kalloch affair, having been c:.led b fore the assault was made up n him.

Wolcoltand his party of railroad surveyors, says the Boiso Douiocraf, ar rived and camped above town last Thursday evening. They came down the Boi-e river to within a few miles of Little's bridge far enough to see that there was no obs'icles in tho way of extending the road through to Boise City by the river route and then re turned and come by the wagon road.
