THE FRACAs AT THE CAPITAL.-In his
letter addressed to Congress, Col. Russell
Jarvis says that Mr.. John Adams declar-
ed ia presence of the ladies who were of
ms party at the levee, "that their being at
he Presidents iac0lrea an lmpropriety, and
that, III knee The estimation IN l0hicb IDaS
held iR MQt house, I1rould not suffer myself
to Be seen there, and that he intended the re-
mark to Be heard by those for 10hOm Il gas
intended end hoped Il a0QS SO heard"
Col. Jarvs further says, ''those ladies
and the father of Mrs. Jarvis, who was a
political friend of the President, deemng
this gross indignity to themselves, and a
violation of the Inequalities Of house, to
whose inmates they were paying a comph-
mentary visit, he Immediately retired"
In the common acceptation Of language,
Il must be understood, from the declara-
alton, that Mr.. Cords, the father of Mrs.
Jarvis, retired ~ consequence of the remark
of VIZ. John adams. It Is possible
that the coloring given TO the affair in Mr..
Jarvis's letter is a little too deep. We
have heard, fromyery good authority, that,
Whatever remark Mr.. John Adams may
have made, IN the hearing ofthose ladies',
Itwas thought so entirely unimportant that

among them after they retired. tits pos
Ilhvely asserted in this city, that the gentle
man alluded 10, so far from having 'Jm-

remarks made at the leyee, never heard of

tits probable, from the tenor of the re-
marks made in the Senate, by the metapbys-

plausible Mr.. Van Buren,, that those gen

Waterproof Glts.-The Portland Ar
gus mentions that person in that place
has discovered a method of making glue
that is not dlssoluble in water, and having,
also, the property ofdrying with much grea-
ter rapidity than any other kind. His me-
thod is, first to Immerse common glue in
cold water until it becomes perfectly soft,
bu; yet retaining its original form.--Atter
which tits to be dissolved in common raw
lnseed oil assisted by a gentle heat, until
it becomes entirely taken up by the latter,
after which it may be applied to substances
for adhesion to each other, in the way COM
mon glue is ordinarily applied. 1t dries
almost Immediately, and water will exert no
action on it. 1t would be very easy for
those whom the discovery would immedl-
ately benefit, to ascertain its truth, by
making an experiment, and should the re-
suit be such as stated, we should suppose
that it would prove materially and extern
sively beneficial In some branches Of the
mechanic arts.

FRUIT TREES.

A method Of preserving fruit trees from the at

Of New York. in the course OF her experiments for
the safety Of favouri peach tree. 1t is by pour
ing three or four quarts Of boiling water around aud
UPON the roots of the diseased Tree. The remedy
ha, been tried by her brother upon an orchard Of 1850
peal, peach, plum, apple and other trees, with in
variable success We wish the fair horticuturist
all happiness in innocent and useful labours. We
know of M situation in which lady appears to
more advantage than in the care of garden Sur
rounded by her plants with their beautiful blossoms
she resembles Persephone gathering flowers, admir-
ed and celebrated in the Olden time. Heathful,
happy and transformations, she combines pleasure
and utility. Could the ladies only imagine how much
such exercise adds to their charms, we should hear
less of shawls costing fortunes, and more Of matri
monal felicity. Boston Cog.

FRurr TREES For some years past, many fruit
trees, particularly the peach, have died, without
any apparent cause; butt on investigation 1t has been
ascertained that the disease is produced by worms
in the root about the trunk of the tree. Many rem
edies have been proposed, but without much sue
cess. A writer in the New York Statesman men,
tons discovery made last summer by young la
dv which bids fair to cure the evil. Having tried
a the usual remedies without effect on severalrces,
and having another choice tree attacked and exhib'-
ting symptoms ofdcath she resolved on desperate
remedy, and poured boiling water about the roots
ofthc tree 1t was attended with complete success.
The faded leaves fell off, and were succeeded by
new set Of long, thrifty and beautiful! leaves and
the tree was preserved. The writer continues:
The brother of the young lady having taken con-
