This disorder IS extending itself IN this vicinity.
20 such degree as TO threateH the destruction Of
all onr pear trees, unless some mode shall be dis
covered TO arrest It's progress. We are satisfied
that the true cause of the disease has not we'd

most minute EXAMINATION, and have been unable
TO discover any trace of the work Of nm insect
Instances have come under our own observation,
where the disorder commenced IN spots upon
the bark, which became. discolored aud dead
while 1t was apparently sound and healthy both
abofe aud below. IN one insianro, these spots
were found to extend down the body Of the tree
to the root, while most OF the branches remain
ed green and apparently healthy. Cutting Oh
the dying branches has sometimes appeared TO
check the disorder. but At other times no such eff
feet has been visible, thalit still remains
matter OF doubt whether it's of any use. Still,
as it cannot be injurious, and as the appearance
of the tree is improved by the removal It is SAT
est and best 10 continue the practice. Ounce
trees are also extensively affected by the same
disorder. We hope the attention Of our scier-
