III SEASON.

1t is too early to givea detailed re-
port of this season compared with O.
theirs. But the winter has been so ex
traordinary an one, both in this coun
try and Europe, that it may be interes.
ing to pu. on record its effects and its
termination. Many plants, which per
ish, in our ordinary winters, have sur.
.vived the last. The wall flower,
which always perishes with US. though
il survives the winter of Great Bri-
tain, 90 degrees more nortb,) has
stood our frosts and is now again pun.
ishing vigorously--The Chinese plants
and among others the Chinese roses,
have generally stood our last winters
trosls. The Chrysanthemum, indi-
cum is starting as fresh, as if it had
been in its native climate. The peach
tree has suffered no loss of its tender
branches and its flower buds are vi
gorous. Last year, they were gen
orally killed by the frost. This leads
me to make a remark, which many
years experience has confirmed, that
the loss of our peach trees is rather to
be attributed 10 early thaws in Febru
AIRY and March, and to subsequent Sc
we're weather, than to late spring frosts.
| know that this opinion will be con.
troverted, but | am persuaded that
the peach tree will endure, when in
flower, very severe frosts, without
much injury--but the great mischief
arises from the destruction of the
young wood itself, and the flower
buds, arising from cold s'eet and Sc
vere storms in February and March.
Simple continued cold it can sustain,
but it cannot endure alternate heat and
severe frost.
An equable season is the one fitted
for this Persian tree.
/ have no fear of late frosts unless
extremely severe, so as to effect the
leaves, after they have put forth.
The season would have been ex-
tremeIy early had it not been checked
by the late cold weather. Yet as it
is, many plants are unusually forward
as will be seen by the following com
Darison.

Old DIR. Hunter used to say, when
he could not discover the cause of a
mans sickness, "We'll try this, and
we'll try that. Well shoot into the

in your shooting into the tree, thefirst

A planter in one of the southern
states had two slaves who were fond
of hunting. One day having finished
their tasks, they repaired to aneighbor

which curiosity induced them to enter.
They agreed that one should remain
at the entrance, while the other enter
ed the den. While thus engaged, a

SIa-At the request of several of your sub

pie samuel M2obers, in the case of the
"County Commissioners OF Madison against
Edward Coles" for publication.
EMIL. J. WEST.
Edwardsyile, March 80, 1925.
Madison Circuit Court, March Term,
1925.
The Commissioners of Madison County)
Edward Coles.
will state the substance of this case
as 1t appears in the record, before give
my opinion upon the question raised for
decision.
This is an action of debt upon a penal
statute, tried at the last term of this court.
The plaintiffs in their declaration allege
against the detendan, violation of the
third section of an act of the legls lalure,
entitled An actrespec,ng free negroes,
mulauoes, servants and slaves" approx
cd March sofa, 1919. The third sec ion
shall bring into this state. after the pas
sage OF This act, any negro or mulatto,
being a slave, or held to service, for the
purpose Of emancipation, shall before
such emancipation give bond to the
county where such emancipation is effect
ed, in the penalty of one thousand dol
lars, conditioned that such person so
emancipated shall not become chargea-
Bile to any county in this state, and annex
es penalty of two hundred dollars for
each person SO enaoci paled, upon ne
eject or refusal TO execute such bond. -
Upon the ,ral Of the cause, the Jury
ipu'd verdict for the plaintiffs for
$4,000. A motion was made for new
trial, which The Judge who then presided
continued until this term.
The legislature al its late session since
the rial, passed an act, entitled i" An act
to amend an act respecting free negroes,
mulattoes, and slaves" 10 release this
demand.
A, this term the defendants counsel
produced and read this act, and renewed
the motion for a new trial, to afford the
defendant an opportunity Of pleading it.
This was opposed by the plaintiffs to
the validity of this ac' they object, and
contend The legislature had no power to
pass it, and that il is therefore void, in
applications for new trials, The court
will look into the sutticiency OF the mat
ter upon which such applications are
founded.
And whether the grounds of the ap.
plication arose out of the proceedings oil
the trial, or subsequent to it, or depend
upon newly discovered evidence, canno
alter this duty of the court.
New trial must be granted, or refused
upon he sufliciency or insufficiency O
the matter upon which the motion is pre-
dica,ed, And the law does not requir,
that new trials should be granted for thu
purpose of trying the validity Of the mat
ter Of the application
The defendants counsel ask the co1t
TO decide upon his application, in 'sic-
once 70 this act along. which purpor.s 4
