Red Oak Shingles.

M. Edjtor-I think it duty of eve
ry one to make known to the public. all
that are likely to be useful to
the community.
In 1880, LbuiIt me a house, and covered
one roof with shingles made of what we
call red oak The shingles | split and
shaved myself: they are quite as easily
made of oak as chesnut; they split more
freely and shave as easily. The shingles
have been on the roof nine years, and
from present appearance, they will last
longer than a coat Of the best fpine shin
giles. They are as free from warping and
twisting as pine the wood is much hard
err and does not wear so fast. Good pine
single timber Is scarce in this par. oil
the country, and there is in may places,
large quantities of oak; therefore, from
nine years experience, think [ can safe
ly recommend it to the public.
Any person having desire to see the
proof of the experiment, will please cal
at my house and examine for themselves

For this crime, Gibbs flew into vio-
lent passion, tied the negro TO a stake
and in the language of witness, "eut his
back into mince-meat" But tn fend,
was not satisfied with this; he burnt his
legs to a blister with hot 'embers, and
then chained him naked in The open air,
weary with running, weak from the loss
of blood, and smarling from his burns

he mas dead! Yet this monster escaped
without even the shadow Of trial. The

AGRICULT U RAJ.

Extracts from the correspondence of the |
New-EngIand Farmer, ON the cultiva-
ton Of Trees
Why the culture of trees around our
dwellings and by the way-side is not more
attended to than il is at present, we can
not imagine. They surely regulate the
atmosphere which surrounds them, and
by their wonderful organic properties, in
hale many of its qualities, which though
salutary to them, would be highly dele
FERROUS to ourselves, beside ornamenting
the grounds which sustain them. We
have actually known unhealthy localities
rendered free from all perEicious qualities
by their influence But were health not
promoted by them, how does dwelling
look, standing "in unblushing naked
ness" with no tree to shield it from
the heat of summer or protect it from
winds of winter2 Like world with
out soul; and we very often are tempt
ed to doubt, when passing such hablta-
tiOns, whether their denizens possess
the immortal principle which alone con-
slilutes the nobility Of man. They surely
cannot possess it in the nobieness of social
and refined excellence.
But with those who do occasionally
"confer benefit on posterity, by plant
ing out a tree" there are some defects in
"modus operandi' which may properly
be cured. We refer to cutting off the
tops-a species of inhuman butchery
which connot be too severely reprobated.
The main shoot should always remain en-
tire; If destroyed, the effect will be bad
The branches may all be taken off with
out detriment, as they will replace them
selves; but when the stalk or uprigh
shoot is amputated, side branch usual
" takes its place, and from j! the head o
the tree is formed, not however in firm
and durable manner, for it derives its sup.
port from sicklv fountain, and in pre-.
mature. age is frequently Frustrated by
the winds, leaving the stump which sus
tanned it, in lonely widowhood.
Another error is, in taking up less roo
than the necessities ofthe tree require; W.
cannot be TOO particular in this part of on
operation, nor obtain too much for tn
convenience of the plant. Gronting, o
smearing the roots in soft mud, is yer.
beneficial in planting trees, and is easil,
performed. We have practiced it in re
moving trees at all times, in all seasons
with entire success.
Yours, truly, w.B.

Trees by the Roadside,

We are often asked shall we set an
pie trees by the roadside? We answer
yes, if you will set the right kind of trees.
The greening apple tree should never be
set here. Its limbs run out horizontally,
and soon become nuisance in the high
way. The Baldwin and Some others have
more upright limbs and they should al
woys be preferred for such places.
We have many reasons for wishing to
see rows of trees by the roadside. In
the first place they are highly ornamental
then they make pleasant shade for the
traveler-they grow twice as fast by a
wall near the roadside as in midfeld
among the grass they do not shade hall
so much of your ield-they kill all the
bushes by the wal-side, and they bear
more constantly than in an orchard.
If your roads run nearly east and west
an apple tree planted close to the wall on
the south side of the road, will not cas-
halt its shadow on to your land-it vii
not get more than half its nourishmen
| from it. You can we'll afford, then, to
let the public have a portion of its fruit
but # you want it all, why, have late win
ter fruit and the public will not eat much
OF 1t in the autumn. You may secure al
that is valuable.
by setting trees thus you have twice al
much fruit on half the usual quantity O
land. You accommodate the public, an,
you kill the bushes by the way side.
Some people expressed surprise the 9th
er evening, at the State house, that th
earth under stone wall should be light
er than that in an open field. They ha
never heard of it before But all farmer
OF observation know the fact. They a
, so know that trees flourish better near
wall. There are various reasons for tbi,
! The earth and air are warmer-the cart
is richer, for it is never exhausted by prc
ducing crops of grain. And where
large wall affords shelter and shade
is reasonable to suppose that various sal
; are here accumulated = for instance sal
petre-which is usually found in shelle
ed situations.

The Chrastfan Rum seller Am his Closssf'
on rnK TRuMPH OF CONSCIENCE
A Christian once retired 10 pray,
And kneeling low was wont to say,
WOnr Father. still In heaven the same,
All hallowed be thy gracious name"
When conscience with load oppressed,
Our humble supplant thus addressed,
H To-day YOU'VE sold that rum for gain,
That made your neighbors so prolane,
And now may be with poisoned breath
Sill scattered arrows, fire and DEATH"
ne next proceeds, though almost dumb,
To whisper out, "Thy kingdom come"
But adding still TO his surprise,
The monitor within replies
"You still pursue your cursed craft,
And vend the soul-destroying draught
That greatly checks this kingdom fair,
And fills the regions Of despair"
He ventured on once more, and said,
"Give us this day our daily bread"
"What! while your premises retaln;,
In pay for rum, the poor mans grain!
Grin your drawer the price IS laid,
That should have bro'this children bread.!'
Thus conscience reused TO do IFS part,
Directs the arrow TO his heart:
Al length by deep conviction stung,
With heavy heart and tiatterlng tongue,
He cries, "Forgive, and grant salvation,
And keep us ever from temptation:
Nor will I any longer lay
Temptation in my neighbours way;
What thus is earned, when understood,
Is certainly the price of blood.
I'd rather dig, or beg, or serve,
And if must I'd rather starve.
o where shall end the frightful tale,
Conveyed by every flying mail,
OF murder, misery, and wo,
That from the cursed traffic fow2
| am resolved the unrighteous gain
Shall never more my Golfers STAIN"
Then, in humility disposed,
TO blessed assurance sweetly closed:
"The Kingdoms thine, and will retain
The glory, power, and praise, Amen"
Then calmy rising from his knees,
His heart approved and all was peace.

Native Cattle.

A writer 10 The Yankee Farmer, af-
firms that we have no need to GO abroad tor
stock for our farms, and that the best ofthe
Short Horns, treated as most OF our cattle
are, will, in few generations, become as
degenerate as the meanest of our native
stock. He says:-Gen. Farmer.
s'The present goodness of our native
stock, considering how it has been uni
formly treated from year to year, by the
owner, is ample proof of It's real good
ness. The only thing wanted IS constant
and proper selection and proper keeping,
and our stock would soon be equal to any.
AS long as our farmers will continue to
sell off cows that are worth one hundred
dollars and keep those that are hardly
worth five, we may never expect TO see a
fine breed of cattle. The farmers NAV
import what breed they please, and. pay
as high prices as they please, it will be
all the same thing in the end, until they
learn to manage better. The rules for
selecting for good stock are principally
these-deep wide shoulders, wide and deep
hips, short and straight back bones, round
bodies and we'll ribbed back, short shin
bones, short strong necks, small short
heads, small pointed noses. If these
rules were observed from generation to
generation, by our farmers, the meanest
breed of cattle that were ever seen. would
soon become first rate. Just SO with vouI
hogs and sheep. A very large creature,
of any kind, is not so profitable to the
farmer, as good, middling size. The
main thing is shape. And no farmer
should ever sell, at any price, his best anc
finest shaped animals, if he intends t,
keep up good and profitable kind.
A gentleman told me lately that he be
gan farming about twenty years ago. H,
then took good deal of pains to End AM
purchase a superior kind of sheep. H
could find none on an average better thai
his own, which were mean. He adopte
the practice of selecting his best lamb
every year, for stock. In few years h
had the first rate sheep. The sam
course will produce the same effects
every kind of animal.
Instead of paying five hundred do
lars for a Dnrham bull, let any farme
lay out that sum in extra keeping an
care OF his present stock, and select b
best calves every year for stock, at Oh
end of five years he will be better off,
| do not deny the notion of purchasing
S superior quality of stock, when it can
s done, at a fair reasonable price, but onl
It the notion of running into such great e.
travagance of prices. A little care ar
! patience will serve our farmers a muc
n better purpose, and, in the end, gil
n them full as good and profitable stool

ingly bad. The speaker, elevated above
the audience, and often near the wall
above, inhales none but contaminated air,
unfit for the lungs, and highly stimulating
to the organs of speech. In such an at
mosphere, tending to paralyze his efforts,
he is obliged to redoubIe his exertions.-
How often do candles burn dim in such
looms; and how of.en, in spite of all ef-
tort, do both speaker and nearer become
dull and languid This effect is doubt
less the consequence Of the inhalation of
an atmosphere rendered deleterious by
the exhaustion Of the principle which
supports life. | believe the disease in

LOOK TO YOUR BEEs.-If a number
of warm days ensue early in the season,
and revive bees from their torpidity before
there is any opportunity to provide sup
ply of food, there is great danger of their
perishing with hunger; and they must be
looked to, to see that they have honey to
eat. Bees, after they awake from their
torpidity, must eat or die; and as they
are out early this spring, it is probable
that many swarms will perish ere the
owners are aware,-Till there is an op-
portunity to supply themselves, let honey
and water, or molasses and water be mix
ed togethesand placed in shallow vessels,
either in or near the hives that they may
feed. Many bees perish from flying ont
in the spring in warm sunny DAYS with
cold nights and we have seen the snow
banks round hives almost covered with
the chilled or frozen insects. In this case,
as coming out is no advantage, the rene
dy is to shut them in.-Gem. Far.
