From the Ohio Cultivator,

Boring Fruit Trees 10 cure The BligM.-
-Four years ago, valuable pear tree OF
mine, about ten inches in diameter, was
attacked with the blight so as in a short
time TO appear almost dead-then the ques-
lion was, how to save the tree! Having
heard or read that boring was a remedy tor
the disease, | bored the tree through the
heart with an inch augur; suppOsing as il
was evidently dying, the experiment could
do no harm if it should fail OF doing any
good, Bat in q short time the tree began
10 recover, and is at the present time, to
all appearances, healthy tree. A small
Ter pear tree was also attacked with the
blight, and on being bored in the same
manner, it also recovered.
In the same orchard, two years ago, five
or six apple trees were attacked with blight,
and from previous experience with the
pear trees, | bored them also, excepting
one, that was left for future experiments.
The consequence is, all that were bored
have recovered, but as yet no means have
been discovered to restore the one that was
left. ! believe therefore that boring is the
only efectual remedy known for blight;
and as the results of these experiments
may prove valuable to others, offer them
Tor a place in the columns oil the Cutivator.

LOVE, HOPE, AND MEMORY.
An AllegOry
BY J. STUART CARLTON.

BY J. STUART CARLTON,
One Summers eve, as reclined
Within fairy bower;
Striving in vain TO while away
A weary tedious hour;
There came three merr,laughing friends,
A happy companyi
Three cheerful, loving friends they were,
Love, Hope and Memory.
A year passed by-I sought the bower
Where | before had lain;
hoped that those same happy friends
Might visit gue again5
Love and Memory appeared,
But they seemed sick and sad,
And when | asked for cheerful Hope,
They told ME he had fled,
Another year had passed away
Again, 1 sought that spot;
Memory was there waited longs
Bat Love and Hope came not.
1 asked of Memory where they were9
He sadly shook his head,
He said--bright Hope had meier returned
And that young Love was dead.
A dozen Summers passed away
Still memory was there.
And though never saw him smile,
He sliiI seeured fresh and fair;
asked him why he was unchanged4-.
A tear stoodin his eyes
lie said---lhough Memory might Je sad,
Eetit could never die,
The walmest Love noy die away,
And brightest Hope take Wings
Memory, still the truest friend,
To dark misfortune rings.
And though perhaps it may recall
Scenes that were best iorgoG
II on the barren, @thered hearb
Shows many bright green spot.

MURDER.---A most outrageous murder
was committed in Fayette county, near
Jeflersonvie, OH Tuesday evening last.---
The particulars, as near as we have heen
able to gather them, are as follows Three
families OF movers from Greenbrier county,
Virginia, had encamped on the road side
for The purpose OF passing the night. A
bout nine O'Clock Two men on horseback
stopped IN the road and commenced black.
guarding them. Two young men left he
encampment Tor the purpose OF getting
them away. Alter having drawn them
some distance from the encampment, the
men on horseback dismounted and attack
ed the Virginans with clubs. In the me-
lee one OF the young men was so badly
beaten that he died in the course OF two Or
three hours, The other was very badly,
though not dangerously hurt. The men
who commenced the atiray, as soon as they
had accomplished their object, mounted
their holses and rode ofr, and have not, as
yet, been taken The name oil The young
man killed we understand to be Joseph
McLung. As may well be supposed this
most outrageous affair has created great eX-
element in the neighboIhood. Two men,
residents Of this county, Que by the name
of Hosier and the other ny the name of
Smith, who were engaged IN he neighbor-
hood making pumps, are suspected as the
and pursuit is being made in
every direction for their apprehensOn....
We hope no mears will be spared TO bring
them to justice, be they whom they may.--

AR1sToCRACY.--.The New York Express
says that in the course of an Grafton in the
French Chamber Of Deputies, teneral Foy

voice from the ministerial side asked for a
definition of it. "Aristocracy,"sa he, "in
the nineteenth century, is the league, the

occupying all public places without being
competent tofl them, and seize upon al
honors without merting them..-that is ar.
