The bottom of the holes, if covered several inches deep with broken bones, charcoal, etc., would facilitate drainage. Then fill up with the RICHEST MELLOW TOP-SOIL, Compact it in the hole by pressing it down with the back of a hoe, and not by solid treading. Young orange trees can be transplanted almost any time if known precautions are observed to move them with the adhering ball of earth covering all the roots. Plant them about six inches higher than the surface land to allow for gradual settling of the loosened soil. Deep planting should be guarded against, as it sickens the trees and retards their growth. The ground should be mixed with partly decomposed long manure and kept moist and the trees in a growing condition. Check exuberant growth by nipping the ends of the shoots, building up a symmetrical partly pyramidal form. Nothing secures early bearing more than judicious pruning of the leading shoots, thus checking the sap from production of superfluous wood. From Monday's Daily.

From Saturday's Daily. ORANGE CULTURE. An interesting Lecture at the State University. Dr. Streutzel delivered a lecture on "Orange Culture" at the State University yesterday, in the course of which he threw out some suggestions concerning the cultivation of that succulent fruit which might be easily, pleasantly and profitably acted upon by many of our readers. He advised selecting the plumpest seed and planting them fresh in boxes with perforated bottoms, filled up with rich, mellow soil that will not bake, dropping the seeds five inches apart, and cover one inch. Keep the box in a warm room and the soil damp. When the young plants appear, give plenty of air and sunshine, and sprinkle them every evening with slightly tepid water. If there is no frost apprehended and the nights are warm, keep your boxes out of doors, sheltered from the wind and burning sun. A screen made of unbleached muslin will answer for both. Fork over the surface between the plants occasionally, and enrich toward midsummer with well-decomposed manure. The seedlings should attain the height of 12 or 18 inches. A large assemblage was present at the dedication of the new Grange Hall at Westminster on Saturday. It was a gala day for the colony, one that will be ever remembered with pleasure by the many participants. There were gathered together from far and near, the wisdom, the wit and beauty of the entire section, and enjoyment and an interchange of kindly feeling was the order of the day. The new hall occupies the upper story of the Co-operative Store building. It is commodious and complete in all its appointments, and is a credit to the enterprise of its builders. The hall was decorated in true Granger style with the fairest products of the country. The choice of flowers, tastily arranged, lent their perfume, and contended for beauty with the goodly array of luscious and tempting fruits; among which we noticed a basket of huge grapes of the Museat of Alexandria variety, raised by Mr. Danskin, beautiful apples by Messrs Craig and Strong, and the blooded leaf peach, a new and elegant variety. Large ears of corn were hung from the ceiling, some of which were over a foot in length, and were raised without irrigation. A large bunch of onions was also displayed, any of which would weigh fully three pounds. A mammoth string of tomatoes, the largest we ever saw, and last, but by no means least, two small squashes (they call them small here) weighing respectively 131 and 1194 pounds. The Grange held a secret meeting in the morning, after which the doors were thrown open to the public. The orator of the day, Mr. A. G. Cook, was introduced by Mr. Craig, the Master of the Grange, and favored the audience with a pleasing address, sparkling with gems of wit and thought. Judge Evey then addressed the assembly with remarks relative to the organization and purpose of the Granges. Worthy Master Craig then invited all present to retire to the granary near the store, where one of the finest dinners had been prepared growing condition. Check exuberant growth by nipping the ends of the shoots, building up a symmetrical partly pyramidal form. Nothing secures early bearing more than judicious pruning of the leading shoots, thus checking the sap from production of superfluous wood. From Monday's Daily. DEDICATION OF THE GRANGE HALL AT WESTMINSTER... A large assemblage was present at the dedication of the new Grange Hall at Westminster on Saturday.

It would be in time for work has been done have gone before this work is being men of our own nature. The growth of erosion would be active theme. The ideas of what coexist another.

Fork over the surface between the plants occasionally, and enrich toward midsummer with well-decomposed manure. The seedlings should attain the height of 12 or 18 inches during the season, but be not too ambitious to stimulate the exuberant growth; rather shorten the rampant roots, and secure a stocky, symmetrical growth. During the winter keep them in a dry, alry place, with a temperature never under 30 deg., and not much over 60 deg.; and in the Spring transplant them to larger and deeper boxes. This is the time to graft them over, if you know of a tree bearing superior fruit, even if it is seedling, or a particular foreign variety from which you could obtain selons, DO SO AT ONCE, As thus early grafted trees make a healthier and more rapid growth than those grafted when the tree is older. Except in very favorable locations the young tree should remain in boxes the second year, affording a greater facility for sheltering them during the Winter, and be transplanted to the open ground the third year. The distance between trees planted in a grove will be controlled by the space at command. If twenty or more feet is required in large plantations and a southern clime a small grove will do well if planted twelve to fifteen feet apart, as it will require ten to twelve years to fill that space. The orange is a rapid grower under favorable circumstances, but will remain stationary if treated inconsiderately. Holes for the reception of the trees should be at least four feet in diameter, and as many deep, and more if the ground has a hard The orator of the day, Mr. A. G.

Worthy Master Craig then invited all present to retire to the granery near the store, where one of the finest of dinners had been prepared by the ladies of the colony. The tables were loaded with all imaginable good things, and crowd after crowd gathered around without seeming to diminish the supply in the least. After dinner, all adjourned to the hall, where the order of exercises were as follows: WELCOME SONG. TOASTS. Store Company - Responded to by Wm. McPherson. The Grange—Responded to by Geo. Tompkins.

ISSUES OF THE HOUR. As a nation we are rapidly approaching a close discussion of several questions of vast importance. These questions are not new, but are being brought to the front for decision. No great principle has ever been reached, by what may be called universal consent of mankind, except by slow and tedious steps of discussion, and after much misstatement, misunderstanding, and sometimes conflict. There are some ideas denominated intuitive truths, which have been held so long that they are perhaps as well named by the expression, "intuitive truth" as by any other, and for all that we can know or prove are a part of natural endowment. However this may be, it is not beyond the observation of many who will read this article, that new principles and ideas have, as it were, been born had their childhood experience, and, through much tribulation, have come to a manhood of acceptance, of power and of influence. Many false views have, by the popular power of those holding them, and by the circumstances attending their birth and growth, obtained wide control. The business of every age is to test the principles handed down, and if in application public schools, the place before law of our religious orders, the relative rights of monopolies and of individuals, free trade and tariff, the civil service reform, the question of temperance in its legal aspects, the relation between labor and capital. On these, and other important topics, the people need to have clear and definite and correct views. From time to time we hope to examine these matters, and will endeavor to contribute something to the attainment of sound conclusions. BY TELEGRAPH. [SPECIAL TO THE EVENING GAZETTE.] Market Report.

Nothing further has been heard from Galveston. At last accounts the gale still prevailed. Fire in Boston. Boston, Sept. 17. About two o'clock this afternoon a fire was discovered in the fifth story of the immense wholesale dry goods house of Jordan, Marsh & Co., on Summer street, having started in a mysterious way. The building contained about one million dollars worth of property. The elevator fell during the fire. The efforts of the firemen were effectual in preventing the fire from reaching the lower story. The stores in the immediate neighborhood were closed on the breaking out of the fire, and all possible assistance was rendered by the clerical force. The loss is estimated at $150,000. Compromised. St. Louis, Sept. 17. General John McDonald, ex-internal revenue officer for this district and California, and John A. Jocoy, having been indicted in the western district for conspiracy with parties in St. Joseph and Kansas City, charged with revenue frauds to defeat the United servation of many who will read this article, that new principles and ideas have, as it were, been born had their childhood experience, and, through much tribulation, have come to a manhood of acceptance, of power and of influence. Many false views have, by the peculiar power of those holding them, and by the circumstances attending their birth and growth, obtained wide control. The business of every age is to test the principles handed down, and if in application these are found false, they are to be rejected; if on the other hand, they are found to be true, they are to be held and applied. Every age has also another no less important work; it is to combine in principles the aggregate wisdom and experience of the times preceding, so that this knowledge may be made available for present purposes, and for the use of future generations. It would be interesting to trace out the manner in which the twofold work has been done by those who have gone before us, and to study how this work is being accomplished by men of our own times. The growth of the idea of self-government would form a very instructive theme. The development of the ideas of what constitutes true freedom is another. We are to-day engaged in the discussion of questions which will have vast influence upon the weal and woe of our nation, according as the right or wrong result is reached. Should a wrong conclusion be adopted, it can, however, only be a temporary result, for the ultimate of all discussion must be truth. If men of this generation fail to reach truth, the men of coming ages will review our position, and will without hesitation, reverse our judgments. For we do not live in a fossiliferous epoch, but in the epoch of high and continually advancing life. This age is peculiarly an age surcharged with strong vitality, and the progress of events seems to show that this vitality is to be increased rather than diminished. The press, the pulpit, the school, the developments in all directions are feeding this vitality, and if poisonous or dwarfing ingredients can be kept out of the mental and moral food of our times, we shall send into future years a force of thought and action which shall in the 20th century, as much surpass the 19th century as it does the 13th. As an independent and self-governing people, we need to examine every question presented by the times for solution.

Clarren was run over this morning near this place by the Westbound Oglen train, and had one leg completely taken off just below the knee, and the other horribly mashed.

It was impossible to stop the train before running over him. He died at 10 o'clock. JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 18.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20. the school, the developments in all directions are feeding this vitality, and if poisonous or dwarfing ingredients can be kept out of the mental and moral food of our times, we shall send into future years a force of thought and of action which shall in the 20th century, as much surpass the 19th century as it does the 13th. As an independent and self-governing people, we need to examine every question presented by the times for solution. Were we only the subjects of a monarchy, or the vassals of a prince, we might leave these matters to the ruling classes; but being each a sovereign, it behoves us to become skillful in all questions of social and political economy, so that in the fulmination of our judgment at the ballot box, and through our representatives in our legislative halls, through our teachers in the schools, in the pulpit, in the editorial chair, we may send abroad instruction that shall tend to advance, rather than retard, our prosperity. The question of human equality, the question of a nation's right to live, have been decided, and while there may be those who in spite of events, refuse to accept the decision which has been given, until this conclusion can be shown to the American head and to the American heart to be wrong, it will stand, and woe be to him who resists that which has been established by so broad and so righteous a judgment. Other questions have been settled—the sacredness of conscience, for example; but we do not propose to review what has been done. We desire rather to hold before our readers the topics which now present themselves for examination, and which by the people now on the stage must be decided. Among the pressing questions of the day are the following: the question of our national finance, the state of our It is supposed he had been drunk all night, and started out of town not knowing where he was going, and it is supposed he sat down on a pile of sand which is in close proximity to the track, and laying his legs across the track, went to sleep. It was impossible to stop the train before running over him. He died at 10 o'clock. JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 18. Yesterday an old citizen of this county, named Lawson Bradley, was killed by the fall of a young horse which he was riding. The animal reared and fell backwards on Bradley, crushing him so badly that he survived only about an hour. Cutting Affray, SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18. A row occurred about 11 P.M., last evening, among a lot of fishermen and sailors on Washington street, near Drummond and East. No arrests made, but police separated the combatants. Two men were stabbed, and one, named Wm. Hollander, was cut in the hip, but not seriously. The other, John George, was stabbed in the back, and is thought to be dangerously injured. When the Sheriff of Santa Barbara arrived in this city with Mrs. Norton, the murderess, under sentence of life imprisonment in San Quintin, he had with him two lunatics, who were handcuffed together, and were given into the charge of a Deputy Sheriff.

Another deputy took them to the asylum yesterday. STORM—Marina Dimaster, NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 18. The equinoctial storm continues.

As the Southern Pacific Railroad freight train from the South was backed up yesterday morning about 8 o'clock, on Townsend St., between 5th and 6th, a man was seen to crawl from under the cars standing on a side track, shouting in front of the train, and in a minute deliberately lay down on the track.
