The old Loco Foco plan for sqqandering the
peoples money by means Of an Extra Session of
the Legislature, is to be revived; our Solons' at
Harrisburg having resolved TO adjourn on Tues
day next, to meet again on the 9th of June. By
this operation the State will be made to suffer to
the tune of about $4,000, at least, without any
benefit whatever TO the People. The reason al
ledaed for holding this Extra Session, is the dis
trictng of the State for Members of Congress /;
whiGh is bat pretext as the election Of those Of
fcers might be postponed until after the next reg
ular Session. They are about TO adjourn too,
without making any provision to pay the domestic
credliors OF the Commonwealth, who have already
bel kept out oi their earnings so long that many OF
them are suffering severely y in consequence. The
interest on the State Debt falling due on the first
OF August, also remains unprovided tor, and unless

As have understood from a source that can

in this state and Pennsylvania, curing peach
rrees and charging for doing so; and as infor-
nation has been received directly or indirectly

The application TO the trees consists of salt
and salrpetre comhined to eight parts of salt,
one half pound of this mixture to tree seven
years old and upward, to be applied upon the
surface of the ground and in immediate contact
with The trunk of the tree; this will destroy the
worm, but to more efecrually preserve the tree,
also sow this mixture over my orchard at the
rate of two bushels TO The acre. The size of
the fruit is increased, and the flavor very great

Decision.

The Baltimore County Court have given a
decision in relation to the effect of the Bank
rupt Law of the United States upon the presen,
Insolvent Law of Maryland. A person applied
for the benefit of the Stale law, and obtained a
personal discharge. He was subsequently con-
fined for debt in Baltimore County Jail, the war
den thereof refusing to recognize the discharge,
and applied 10 the Judges of Baltimore County
Court for a writ of habeas corpns which was
granted. The case was argued at length, and
every argument, pro and con, brought TO bear
on the subject. The Court held that the per-
sona discharge granted by the commissioners
was valid, and protected the party from arrest
aud imprisonment, and according y ordered him
to he discharged from custody. The amount
of this decision would seem TO be that the in
solvent laws of the Stale Of Maryland, so far
at least, as the person of the debor is concern
ed, are sill in force, and not repealed by the
passage uf the bankrupt law by Congress, and
that personal discharge granted by the com
mssioners of insolvent debtors, exemp,s III,
