Cultivation of Pa Trees.—I’eaeli
trees may be preserved, by good manage-
ment, twenty, and probably forty or fifty
years They are destroyed from north lati-
tude forty to thirty-six degrees, by a worm
which feeds on the inner bark of the tree.
at its root. This worm is said to be the oil'-
spring of a flly, of the wasp kind, which
deposits its eggs in the bark of the root of
the tree, while it is young and tender. The
remedy consists in searcliing for the open
ings in the bark at the root, and taking
diem out. If this operation is repeated
three or four springs, the worm never after
can make a lodgement there. The bark of
the tree by this time becoiues so hard, that
the fly cannot make the puncture, in order
iodi-posit the egg, or if deposited it per-
islics. After the 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
climate, none bears priming so freely as the
punch; indeed, it should be treated very
much as the vine is. All those branches
which lnive borne fruit should be cut out, if
there is young wood to supply their places.
l’roof—take a liirib which has borne two or
three crops of lriiit, and notice its produce;
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 fruit on the outer limbs.
The peach tree produces best fruit when
the ground is not stirred about it while the
fruit is on. VYIICII it has no fruit, it should
be cultivated as carefully as a cabbage, or
any other plant.
The above comprises the most important
points in the rearing of peach trees, and
good fruit; if attended to, I have never
known them to fail,-—and my experience
has not been very limited.
I repeat what may, perhaps, be doubted,
that the peach tree, if the worm is kept out
of the root, will live, at least, twenty years;
itlld that this may certainly be done by at-
tacking them the first year of its growth, and
continuing to extract them for three or four
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.
Preparation of Seed I/V/zcat.——\Vlien I
am about to coinuicnce seeding, I have two
barrels prepared, one of which [ have filled
about two-thirds full with brine, strong
enough to hear an egg, into which I have
the seed poured very slowly, until the brine
rises nearly to the top, which will be cover-
ed with thc light grains of wheat, cheat and
garlic, which are skimiued off with the
hands, and the wheat at the bottom stirred
mice or twice to free it from any remaining
impiirities, which are again skimuied off.
An old basket ivitliout a baiidle isthen plac-
ed on the top of the empty barrel, tliroiigli
which the brine is poured from the wheat by
two men taking the full barrel by its bottom
on opposite sides. The wheat is then emp-
tied into a large box, and the same process
repeated from one barrel to the other alter
iiately, until a suflicient quantity is washed
for the day’s seeding, and as much gypsum
is then stirred into the whole mass as will
adhere to the grain. \'Vater is added occa-
sionally, and a sufficiency of salt to main-
tain the strength of the brine, which is test-
ed by an egg kept at hand for the purpose.
The whole process is completed in the
morning, by the time the teams are ready to
proceed to their work. I suppose a bushel
of salt would probably suflice for one hun-
drccl bushels of seed, which would, by rea-
son of its invigorating qualities, be very well
bestowed in that way, independently of its
aid in freeing the wheat from its impurities.
F. H.
N. B. If the wheat is infected with smut,
it will be effectually destroyed, by stirring
in a portion of quick-lime before the gyp-
sum.
Apple 'l'rcLs.—A gentleman in Essex,
England, having in his orchard many old
supposed worn out apple trees, which pro-

last winter took fresh made lime from the
kiln, slacked it with water, and (willioiit al-
lowing time for its cant-itic quality being in-
jured by imbibing fixed air) well dressed the
trees, applying the lime with a brush. The
result was, that the insects and moss were
conipletely destroyed, the outer rind fell off,
.-ind a new, smooth, clear one formed; and
she trees, ulthougli some twenty years old,
have now a moist healthy appearance. The
same treatment may be extended to other
i"ruit-bearing trees, and probably with a

the whole made by these successive shots
appeared as round and uniform as if done

been covered by a twenty -five cent piece.
Has the President the power to dispose
of the public revenue as he pleases? Has
the Pre.~ident the power to remove the Sec-
retary of the Treasury, because he refuses
to do an illegal act? Has the President the
power and right to violate the charter of the
bank, and, without an act of Congress, or
the pretence of danger, remove the public
deposites?
These are questions upon which the very
existence of this republic depends; because,
if the President has the power he claims to
exercise, upon his responsibility, then our
form of government is changed at once, and
the President holds the sword and purse
strings, and has only to declare himself
I)icIator, and he is so to all intents and

others, occupying rooms for mnnufacturiiig
purposes. The wooden block was of little
value comparatively. It was occupied by
J. O’l)oiiougl:uc, auctioneer; Uliarlcs
Smith, Reuben Leonard, E. S. Curtiss, and
one or two other grocers, and W. Col-
lius, dry good store. But a small part of
the property was insured——probably from
what I have learnt, not to exceed $10,000.

G'umption.——'I‘liis is a tine old Scotli word
not geiierally to be found in the dictionaries,
though it is worthy ofa place in the best.
It has a great deal ofmeuniug in it, and of-
ten expresses what nothing else can.
VVlien I see a girl reject the adtlresses of
a respectable young man, who owns a good
farm, goes to meeting, and pays his debts;
for one who wears a dickey, visits the the-
atre, and spends his money faster then he
earns it, I think to niyselfsbe has not much
gumtion.
When I see a young mechanic who wants
a good wife, that can make a pudding, spit
it turkey, and nurse his babies, dangling
aftera piece of affection, because she has
been t dancing school and can play on a
piano, I guess he has not much guinptiou.
\Vlien I see a farmer paying taxes for
twenty acres ofland, lialf-fenced and half-
tilled, when he might raise more on six
acres under good cultivation, I conclude he
is not overstocked with gumptiou.
When I see a man who has good busi-
ness, suflicient to support his family respec-
tably, neglecting his affairs, and ruui.ingin-
to debt, in order to obtain a political olfice,
[fancy that, whatever may be his talents,
he is not burdened with guinption.
When I see a man purchasing three
cords of wood for the winter, when, by list-
ing his doors,:ind mendingbis broken panes
he might save two of them I think he has
but little gumption.
When I see a young man, just set up in
business, keeping a horse and chaise at an
expense of two dollars a day, and failing
in six months, when he might waik for “um-
ing, and continue his business with safety,
I conclude that he has not much gumptiou.
' VVhen I see a man attending diligently to
lns own concerns, sending his children to
school, paying his debts, and keeping clear
oflaw suits,quarrels, and politics, I set him
down as a man possesiuga reasonable share
of gumption.
When Isce a woman mending her chil-
drcii’s clothes, and receiving her husband
with affection, I conclude that she has no
ordinary share of gumption.
In fine, when I see a uian who dealsjust-
ly, loves mercy, walks humbly, and pays
for his newspaper, Iconclude that of all
others in this world he possesses the great-
est portion of gumption. [Bosh Trav.

to live with him as uiisopliisticated as Amos

if you are a good boy, I will give youlall
the aslies.——Next uiglit ho was awakened
by an unusual noise, which proveil.to be the
roaring of a huge fire in the kitchen, wliicli
Timothy was feeding with wonderful coin-
placeiicy. W'hy, Timothy, what does this
mean? \Vhat on earth are you about?
Oh, says Timothy, I am makiiigaslics. We
say to the public, look to your wood-pile.’
