influence OF THE Moon ON TREEs.--An
intelligent gentleman engaged for nearly
thirty years in cutting timber in Demarars,
and who has made extensive observation
upon trees, says the moons influence on
trees is very great; so observable is this,
that if a tree be cut down at full moon, il
will Immediately split, as if torn asunder
by great external force. Trees are also
attacked much sooner by the rot than if al

To MAKE HENS LAY pERPETUALIY.--

To MAKE HENS LAY PERPETUALLY--
Hens will lay eggs perpetually, if treated
in the following manner:
Keep no roosters; give the hens fresh
meat, chopped up like sausage meat, once
a day, very small portion, say half an
ounce day to each hen, during the win.
ter, or from time the insects disappear in
the fall, till they appear again in the spring.
Never allow any eggs to remain in tho
nest, for what is called nest-eggs. When
the roosters do not run with the hens, and
no mes, eggs are left in the nest, the hens
will not cease laying after the production
of twelve or fifteen eggs, as they always do
when roosters and nest eggs are allowed;
but continue laying perpetually. My hens
lay all winter, and each from seventy-fve
to one hundred eggs in succession.
If The above plan were generally follow.
ed, eggs would be just as plenty in the win
ter as in the summer. The only reason why
hens do not lay in winter as freely as in
summer is the want of animal food, which
they get in summer in abundance, in tho
form of insects. ] have for several win
tiers reduced my theory to practice, and il
proved its correctness.

This work is issued rather earlier than
usual, and may be had at our counter and
of most of the cheap booksellers. We
have labored hard TO make this Almanac
worth the York shilling it costs, and we
believe with success. Among its contents
will be found those sections Of all the Trea-
ties of the United States which relate TO
or affect our National Boundaries, COM
mencng with the Treaty of Independence
with Great Britain and closing with the
Ashburton Treaty respecting our North
Eastern Boundary. The Joint Resolution
for Annexing Texas is appended, so that
those who have any Boundary ques-
ton to discuss have here the data furnished
to hand. We have also the best exposi-
ton ever given of the Oregon Question:
namely, that of the Edinburgh Review for
July last, stating all the facts and pointing
TO the just conclusion that our right ex-
tends as far North as 40 degrees. The
Tariff Question, in its past history and pres
emf aspects, is fairly presented; as also the
Necessity for Protection. The Postage
Reform act is analysed and its leading pro-
visions stated. The length, cost income,
&c. of all american Railroads are also
given. Carefully prepared lists of the

THE CONVENTION.

lHE CON Elm llON.
We have received the two first days
proceedings of the Convention, which
merely give an account of the organiza.
ton.
Judge Wells, of Cole, was chosen Ptesi-
dent, on the 5th ballot The candidates
were, Wells, Marmaduke and Hunter. Hun
ter was Withdrawn after the 4th ballot, and
the vote stood Wells 36-Marmaduke 81.
Solomon j. Lowe, Mr.. Denver and Robt
J. Walker were the candidates for Secre.
tary, and the latter was chosen on the 5th
ballot, by a considerable majority. VIM.
Basket assistant Secretary.
Gen. John w. Price and Richard 3.
Jackson were candidates for door keeper.
The vote stood Jackson 39-Price 30.
Election of Sergeant-at. Arms was post
poned.
Some debate took place on the subject of
employing competent reporter to report
the speeches of the members. itmet with
considerable opposition--from some on the
score of economy, and from others because
they did not want their speeches published.
A committee was appointed after consid-
cradle talking, to inquire into the subject
and ascertain what competent reporter
could be employed for. 1t is to be hoped
a good reporter will be employed, and a
faithful report of what is said be made.
Such report would be of great benefit to
the community at large, and might be the
means of shortening the session, as men,
bers would not consume time in talking
about nothing, when they knew their
speeches were to be correctly re ported.
Mr.. Massey offered resolution in sub
stance as follows: That it is the sense of
this body, that the act of Feb. 81, ls43,
calling this convention confers on it its
authority, and is binding on it as whole,
and in all its details.
Mr.. Massey made few remarks in sup
port of the motion. Let the convention
said he, dispose of this as it may, he would
be satisfied; he would, therefore, not detain
the convention with any remarks of his.
Mr.. Hunter remarked, he could not see
clearly the object of the resolution, or what
was to be accomplished by its passage
Certainly, said he, no good can grow out
of it, and it may produce much unnecessary
discussion, and useless consumption of
time. He would therefore move its indefi-
mite postponement and demanded the ayes
and noes, which being called, resulted as
follows: Ayes 40, noes 20.
The resolution was indefinitely post
poned.
The JUDGES and their friends must have
voted down this resolution.
We obtain the above information mainly
from the Jefferson Inquirer-from which
paper we shall most probably make up our
weekly synopsis of the proceedings of the
Convention in future.
