New METHOD OF PRoPAGAT1Nc APP
PIE TREEs.-A new plan for increasing
plantations of apple trees has lately been
carried into extensive practice by the hor-
ticulturists of Bohemia. Neither seeds
nor grating are required. The process
is to take shoots from the choicest sorts.
insert them in potato, and plunge both
INTO the ground, leaving but an inch or
two of the shoot above the surface. The
potato nourishes the shoot, while it push
es out roots, and the shoot gradually
grows up and becomes a beautiful tree
bearing the best fruit, without requiring
to be grated.
Whatever may he the success of the
undertaking, its novelty is at least an in
ducement to give it fair trial.-Farmer

Death OF an Infant I'm Its Mothers Arm
BY MRS. sIooURNEY.
I" He slumbers long, sweet mother,
Upon thy gentle breast;
Thou'rt weary now with watching
Sweet mother, go to rest,
There seems no pain TO stir him,
The peril, sure, is past;
For see his soft hand clasped IN thine,
He heeds nor storm nor blast.
"Why dost thou gaze so wildly?
Why strain thy strong embraced
Unlock thy fearful clasping,
And let me see his face"
So down that mother laid him,
In her agony Of care,
And kissed that cold and marble brow
With calm and fixed despair.
ooh! weep there's holy healing
In every gushing tear:
Nor question thus that beautious clay.
The angel is not here.
No shut Of rose at even-tide
Was with peace so deep
As thus thy Youngest, fairest one
Sank down in dove-like sleep"
"neIe DesL ne lOVeu 10 nlue MIN.
In that dear sheltering spot,
Just there his tender spirit passed
Passed, and she knew it not
His fond lip never trembled,
Nor sighed the parting breath,
When strangely for his nectared draught
He drank the cup Of death!
"Full was thy lot of blessing
To charm his cTadle-homs-
To touch his sparkling fount of thought,
And breathe his breath Of flowers
And take the daily lesson
From that smile that breathed so free,
or what in boiler, brighter realms,
The pure in heart must be.
Nor more thy twilight musing
May with his image shine,
When in that lonely hour of love
He laid his cheek to thine.
So still and so confiding
That cherished babe would be,
So like a sinless guest from heaven,
And yet part Of thee.
But now his blessed portion
Is DER the cloud to soar,
And spread a never weaTied wing
Where sorrows are no more
With cherubim and seraphim
To tread the ETHEREAL plain
High honor hath il been to thee
To swell that glorious train"

The editor Of this journal, spent the
summer and fall Of ! go as a missionary,
on the Eastern shores Of Maryland. He
had occasion, frequently, to in for
three or four days at time, with some Of
the more wealthy shareholders; mostly
church members and officers The num-

varied from ten to fifty or sixty. Yet
these Christian Shareholders, while .hev
and their children, daily surrounded the

no remembrance Of their poor injured

them sparingly, and neglected their SAL

A FEW PLAIN QUESTIONS FOR PLAIN

The schooners Camanchc, Sarah Ann,

intelligence. The latter sailed from Tam

The government had negotiated aloan,
with the house ef Rubio & Co. of Matamo-
ras, and other ports. Tor from $150,000, to
100000 per month, to pay the troops, for
which they received in mortgage the Gus

Co. over the customs, made the other mer-
chants jealous, as the favoritism thus shown
enable Rubio SJ Co, TO undersell their COM

NEW-YORK BLACK BOOK.

1t will be recolieeted, that a year ago or
more, there was considerable excitement
among the merchants in various places or
the subject of system of espionage, ar
ranged among certain merchants in this
city, for the purpose Of spying out the pri-
vate affairs, the moral, social and pecuniary
standing of their customers abroad. This
system was exposed by respectable law
yer in Virginia, who was requested 20 act
as spy agent-or sub-spy-to the princi-
pal Office of espionage in New York.
Meetings were got up at Utica and other
places, on the subject, and resolutions pass
ed expressive of the sense of the merchants
in these places, of the insult offered them by
the spy system, as well as of its odious ma
trre and industrious tendency.
But, for many months, we had heard
nothing on the subject, and supposed the
merchants of this city had given up the
spy system for bad job. But, if wemay
rely on the Chicago American, they have,
during the late period of quiet, been merely
perfecting and preparing their system for
actual use. Sour town." says that paper,
"has been the scene of much excitement,
owing to the reception of one of the NeaU
York Mercantile Spy Books, in which the
fair character ofseveral of our most emil
nent merchants, has been most villainously
taduced, by pack of knayes hired for the
purpose by the merchants of New York. "
The Chicago Democrat also has an ac-
count of the book, which it says purports
to be a 'Western Mercantile Directory"
and says great disarrangements have taken
place in the plans of merchants in Chicago
by its appeaance-it having entirely alien
ated their strong preiudices in favor of the
New YORK market, and disposed them to
turn much Of their trade to Boston and Phil
adelphia.

JACKSONVILLE, April ~.
On the 9Th inst the house of Mr.. Will
liam Clemmons, situated on the road from
Alligator to Livingston's Ferry, on the Su-
wannee, about twenty miles from the latter
place, was attacked by Indians. The in
mates consisting of Mrs. Clemmons and
four children, anda little orphan lad living
with Mr.. Clemmons, were murdered. Mr..
C.was from home at the time this awful
visitation was made upon his family.
He returned on the 10th inst, the second
day after the horrid transaction, and the first
intimation of the calamity that had befalen
his wife and little ones, was the desolate
appearance of his home, anu then the bod
les of his wife and children, fifty or more
yards from the house.-They had been shot
while attempting to escape, as it would seem
from the position in which the bodies Law.
They were unscalped. They were both
shot in the head, and so near were the guns
when discharged, that the heads of these
unfortunate victims were literally blown to
pieces And 10 add to the horror of the
sight, and anguish of the bereaved husband
and father, the body of the youngestchiId, a
babe, was almost devoured, and the arm of
the mother eaten off by hogs!

not to sympathise with the Athlete and suf-

not come in on the nth April.

PROVISIONS.

The d:cline in flour, wheat, and bacon
continues; and many spectators who cal
culated upon realizing immense profits from
the necessities Of the community, have met
with signal and severe elosses.-'The supply
OF flour, which few weeks ago was de-
clared insufficient for the consumption of
the country, and which was held at such
enormous prices as to bring in vast quanti-
ties OF foreign grain, is now found to be
over abundant, and is exported in still
greater quantities. The greedy monopo-
lists who were holding back for high pri-
ces are now glad to sell at a sacrifice, hap
py if they escape bankruptcy. The tenn
porary suffering which they caused in the
winter has rebounded upon themselves;
and but few sympathise with them, for
there is an honest and hearty aversion a.
mong the people to those who would induce
and profit upon starvation,
Had these cormorants been content with
reasonable and fair profits, and opened their
boards al time when the whig presses re :.
commended the stinted population to live
upon rye, corn and potatoes, they would
have relieved much suffering, and averted
the calamity which has fallen on them
selves. But no: they would not rest until
they had ground the face Of The poor man
TO the very bone; and the snarer is meshed
in his own net. We are told that the guam
tity of flour, wheat and bacon accumulated
in this city is vast, and comes in faster
than it can be sent away; that it would take
two months to ship the stock on hand to
the eastward and the prospect held out in
tl,4~ =, a, LII THba,,eo,l,
of bushels Of wheat and barrels ofhOur, are
arriving, asif supplementary harvest had
followed a threatened famine. One in
stance, a small one will illustrate the way
in which hundreds OF spectators have 'bit'
themselves. An individual in this city last
fall, bought up wheat to the amount Of few
hundred bushels; in the winter, he was Of
fered ST. so per bushel for it, which would
have yielded him rich profit; he was ear
nestly advised TO sell. Not he: he put faith
in the predictions of the speculator astrolo-
gers; he waited for their fulhlment.-But
the artificial famine, the offspring of bank
facilities, passed away; and he would now
gladly accept 81 90 forit.
Speculation, in fact has turned every
thing 'topsy-mrvy! and such freak as
"sending Goals to Newcastle" is no longer
joke but an occurrence which finds a
daily parallel. Flour and bacon are sent
back and forward like shuttle-cocks; one
week shipped from Cincinnati to Orleans
and the next vice versa. And this is the
blessed state Of things which the people
are called upon to support by fostering and
encouraging the growth of bank monopo-
lies.-PiHSbwg Mercury.

sD"The York Gazette speaks of DR..
Daniel Sturgeon, the present state Treasu-
rer, as candidate for Governor. Mr..
Muhlenberg' S name has been mentioned by
several democratic papers, and one or two
have expressed a feeling in favor of Judge
Blythe. They are all sound democrats
eminenhy qualified; but as we go for the
candidate nominated by the democratic 4th
of March state convention, we shall with
hold for the present any expression of our
own in favour ofany individual. We have
been taught lesson which shall never per-
nit personal predictions to interfere with
the selection Of candidates for office; and
while we anticipate union and harmony,
and good selection, we can feel somewhat
easy until the period for nomination is
nearer at hand.

sr%Our Farmers have been cheered
with warm rains and sunshine during this
week; and the grain fields begin to have the
colour and growth which promise boun-
tiful harvest We can only hope for the
best; and in the meantime would caution
our farmers, who in reality are 'the salt of
the earth," upon whom we must rely for
all the necessaries of life, against being too
hasty in plosghing up their grain fields for
fall crop. They must remember the
gloomy aspect which induced such a course
in the spring of 1893, and the heavy crops
which were yielded to those who let their
fields alone, with reliance upon Provi-
dence. Such will most probably be the
case the present season.

CoNsTADLEs.-At the last April sessions
for Northumberland county, Judge Lewis
decided in favor of the election of a Consta-
BILE, highest on the return, who had served
more than three years out ofsix. His honor
delivered an opinion, with which he polite
ly iavopred the editor of the Milton Farmer;
and while he sustained his decision by ref
erence to legal authorities, he has evinced
a strong disposition in favor of letting the
people choose their own public servants.
We are pleased at this new evidence of his
continued adherence to democratic prinei-
pies.
