Look OUT FOR MICE. Young apple tree:
are liable to be gnawed and girdled by mice
at this season of the year. Trees that are sur
rounded with grass, or any kind of litter whicl
can be made into nests by the mice, are in
greater danger than such as have nothing but
earth around their trunks 1t is therefore ad.
visable to remove all such liter before snow
! comes.
But now that the ground is covered, the
right course is to beat the snow down close
around each tree to prevent the making Of
nests there, Should THIS sncw, Itch now.
(Dec. 14th,) covers the ground, disappear be.
fore january, and be followed by another
storm, it may be necessary to perform another
revolution around your trees. and teach your
mice that apple trees are forbidden food and
not to be eaten III peace. AS january adj.
vances there is bnt little danger from mice
that have already made no nests there, for
they usually seek out permanent winter
quarters before January.
We have seen thrifty young trees entirely
ruined by mice, that stripped off all the bark
from the trunks to the height of two feet A
townsman Of our own, a few years snce,-
one OF the few farmers in birmingham, who
do not subscribe for the Ploughman,- lost a
number Of very handsome apple trees that
stood by his wall "where mice do most con-
grceate."
We think there are twenty trees that were
stripped to the height of two feet. If he had
seen our warning, which we gave early in
the same winter, he Nigh have saved, in half
an hour, forty dollars worth Of trees.
Bat lie had no near neighbor to lend him
the Ploughman or to warn him OF his danger
and he was to prudent to keep a cat, for cats
must be fed in the winter when rats and mice
are not to be found.
BY the way, sensible farmers always keep
one or two cats. We should be overrun with
rats and mice were We deprived of the ser.
vices Of that useful animal. The practice of
laying poisonous substances to destroy rats in
a house is q very foul one. If you succeed in
killing one, your comfort is to keep a dead
rat in by place, instead Of a live one, and
your house is haunted with the scent of car
rion for weeks in succession.
There is no economy in living without cats.
They will squall and be in the way, oft times
So will children, and other necessaries of a
family; but You cannot live comfortably with
out cat Farmers who keep good cats are
not in any great danger from mice around
trees near the dwelnG-hJuse. Distant trees
are the ones that require particular attention
at this season. Maltese cats are boder hunt
ers than any that are kept. They grapple
with the largest wharf rat.-AIasS Piomyh-

RESOLUTIONS.
Resolvcd, That the question to be dccld-
ed bv the ople Of Vermont on the first
Tuesday in March is one of deeper interest,
and frauoht with more momentous results,
than any other on which they have ever been
called to act
Resolced, That those who vote for "li-
cense" and those who voluntarily neglect to
vote " no license" become responsible for the
Misery and Crime which may resalttrom the
unrestricted traffic in intoxicating drinks.
8 ReSolred, That regard for the welfare
of his children and dread of their exposure
to the communicating Influences Of the bar
room and the grog-shop should urgently I'M
pei every father to vote no license.
8 ReSolced, That to prepare the minds of
our men for right action in the coming crisis,
there is necessary great amounto OF personal
effort in way Of familiar and friendly CONVEX
sation with those who have not considered
the important bearings which the question
has upon the welfare OF Society, aud that the
most active exertions should be used by ev-
ery friend of humanity to ditnse information
and awaken attention 10 the subject.
Resolved That we have undoubted conf
dencc in the onward progress and ultimate
success of the Temperance cause and we re-
newedy pledge to it our active ard perseve-
ring eXertions
jVhercas,-It is expected that a large num-
Der of foreign labourers will be employed the
coming year upon the various railroads now
in PROGRESS in the State and wharcaS lntoXi-
eating drinks have often proved to such
bodies Of men the occasion ct riot and out
rage,
6 Reso1ved,- THAT it would be dangerous
to the peace Of the community IT'S well as Diet
rimcntdl to the progress OF our public
works, by adopting the system OF general
license, to multiply facilities for diilusng al
clolic liquors among them.
Resoiced, That the interests of the re-
formed drunkard and Of his family are deeply
involved in the decs on of the license ques-
ton, and that all those who would preserve
that interesting class of men from the almost
irresistible temptations to which the unrc-
stricted sale of intoxicating liquors would eX-
nose them should they vote no license.
8 ReSoiced,-That the suppression i'll the
traffic is the most effectual means of reducing
the taxes annually imposed on the people.
Resofred, That it is of the highest i'm
portancc that all violations of the license law
should be prosecuted to conviction, and that
we pledge ourselves to carry out the spirit of
this resolution.
10 Resofced,-That the result of the first
election under the new excise INV of n. York
indicating as it does an Overwhelming opposi-
ton to the legalzed traffic in alcoholic, liquors
furnishes occasion for hearty thanksgiving to
Almighty God, end should be recognized by

WALNUTs. 1t has been ascertained that
the shay bark walnut may be successfully en-
grated, and that the engralted trees are much
the surest bearers. It is probable that the
hickory, or shag bark, would do we'll engrafl-
ed on the pig nut. Ifit should, the quantity
raised might be greatly increased and the
quality much improved The Madeira nut
which is usually sold at the shops under the
name Of the English walnut, at twelve and q
halfto sixteen cents per pound, may be cal
tivated here without difficulty, and is very
productive. In the vicinity of New York
there is a tree which has produced in sin
gle year as many as sold in the market for
$500. We have no doubt that it might be
cngraftcd on the buttcrnut tree or the walnut

ened by the Secretary Of the Navy" So much of the
value OF these structures depend upon the plan"
be adopted in building them, that the Secretary we
destand has deemed it Indispensable to obtain on this
subject the advice OF experienced and scientific board
by which, to great extent, his official action will of
course be guided In forming this board he has not been
unmmdfu OF the strong feeling which exists in various
sections, in favor of rival plans and has been anxousy
careful to place upon only those whom he has the best
reasons to believe entirely free from bias or interest
either for or against either OF the plans which are now in
use.
The board we learn. is to be composed of the follow
ing gentlemen:
Commodore John Downes, United States navy; COM
modore D. Turner United States navy; Colonel James
Gadsden, Charleston Is CD George r. Baldwin, esq
Charlestown. (Mass.) Samuel NJ Pook, naval consruc-
tor, United States navy.

whole community.
The board will organize in Washington on Thursday,
the Goth instant, and any proposals accompanied with
proper specifications and references, which may be
sonaby sent to the department for the purpose will
doubtedly be laid before it.
