GROWTH OF TREES.

ID. G. WEEMs of A. A. county, Mary
land, has furnished us with the following ex-
pertinent made by him on the annual growth
Of trees:
"Somc three years since, took the cir
conference of some 200 trees. mostly black
oaks, and marked upon them their size in
inches. The soil on which they stood was
a light calorcd stiff clay, about fifteen feet
above tide wafer. Although shall not at
tempt to reduce my experiments TO scinn-
'liic form, bur merely state facts, and leave
the result TO the reader, 'opc ,hoy will aid
some more competent person N a full in
vestlgation Of the matter. The measure

gwen, will represent the grove fairly. and
three years should test the experiment sur,i-

"Ihe average annual growth of these trees

inch l then found by examination thai,
these trees had acquired in their central part
onc-halt otthcir whole diameter, in onc-,h I'd
ct their whole number Of years, thus proving
that trees, when Young, growing in wood,
make their annular circles of greater thick
ness than they do after they have lowered
high. then measured two trees on the south
side this grove: one black oak 102 inches and
90 circles one do. so inches and 81 circles.
In these trees the circles averaged about the
same number to the foot, irom the heart to
the bark, in every portion of the STUMP
thus showing the advantages Of sun and air
to vegetation. now measured two isolated
trees standing on higher soil, hnt still on
clay: one oak 40 inches, Sc circles: ON.
do. lOS inches, 43 circles, averaging nearly
two lnchcsa year; and the same results were
obtained in the measure of some fruit and

thus proving that trees flourish better and are

said the Ma ior, and so great the confusion in
the darkness, that was sitting with a group
of officers in the earlier part of the night on
horseback, "A British, soldier came up to us,
and recovering his muskct, under the suppo-
sillon that he was addressing one of his
