WESTERN AND EASTERN ORCHARDS. Or.
chard cultivation is not only well understood in
western New York, but it is practically carried
out; IT Is true, the orchards are Young. comnar.
ed with those OF Connecticut or Massachusetts
and on this account, perhaps, comparison should
not be made. ''iou'u
Inc trees are comparatively young, viporous
and healthy, and in fine condition. But 1ak;ng
all due allowance for this difference in ACE ws
are inclined to believe, that orchards in New
York are managed with greater degree of skill
than those in Massachusetts. Certainly, most Of
the orchards we saw were in much hioher
state OF culture the soil kept in good condition
py applications OF manure, but more particularly
with the plough, and the aid of green crops the
trees too are well pruned, and kept open 10 the
sun and air, thus aiding in the perfection Of ali
the irult. We are well satisfied that thorough
cultivation has more TO do in the production Of
superior fruit, than the too generally imagined
cause Of locality and climate and that the fre-
quent complaint, which we hear, that particu.
lar fruit is adapted to the climate of New York,
and vii not succeed in Massachusetts,, is more
to be attributed to want of judcious cultivation,
than any peculiarly OF soil or season. .-H Hopey's

Mr.. EDITOR With all Difference venture TO make
few suggestions TO the present members and officers of
cur Free Soil Clubs. Taking for granted, as do,
that those organizations are to be continued and have
something more than a name to live it is desirable
know the best they can use in aid of the good
cause which they formed to promote. You have
readers whose opinions on this point would be worth
hearing. Will they not speak?
In the meantime, ii is clear that of their first de-
cisions should be 10 give od circulation to Free Soil

may safely defy the attempts ofinerested persons from
any quarter to deceive the men who see such papers,

even when the deceptive claim was urged that they were

think one reason why this County of Worcester did,

HOT SPRINGS OF ARKANSAS

These Springs are among the wonders of erea-
ton. They are worth travel OF many hundred
miles merely to look at. They are located in
Hot Spring county, fity-hve miles west OF Lit
tie Rock, on a creek which emptes into the
Washita river, six miles distant i'm latitude 34 l.2.
The creek, which rises in the mountains some
miles above, winds its way between two hills.
running north and south, with a valley between.
which is in some places fifty and in some one
hundred yards wide. On the side of one of the
hills, which is very precipitous and rises to the
height Of four hundred feet, the Hot SPRINGS
break out in various positions from the margin of
the creek to the summit of the hill. The num-
Der of springs is said to be about seventy.fve or
eighty, within space of FIVE hundred wards !:
but the number is not uniform, new springs
breaking out and old ones filling up. There are
numerous cold water spriAgs within few Yards
of the hot ones. The heat of the water is sufi l..
cient to scald hog or fowl, TO boil eggs or wash
clothes, without the aid OF fire.
The creek is so much heated by the springs
that horses and cattle will not drink OF it mile
below. The United States claim the Hot Springs
as reservation individuals claim them under
presumption. The consequence is, that only
temporary improvements are made or will be
made until the title is confirmed. These springs
are destined TO attract great attention for their
invaluable healing properties, as we'll as natural
curiosity. In the same vicinity is the Magnetic
Cave, large bed OF magnetic rock, and the Cry
stal Mountain, where beautiful crystals of Vari
Gus forms are found. In several of the noun
tans are found the best quarries OF whetstone in
The United States. Accommodations for invads
are greatly improved within the present wear,
