wM. PENN AND WIN. MEAD.

To THE EDITOR OF rITzGERAD's CITY
IrEM.-SR-Probably the following may
be new, and interesting to some of your
readers. 1t is a summary of proceedings
had against WM. PENN and WM. MEAD at
the Old Bailey, London, 1870, for riot,
conspiracy and High Treason. The calm
and digniiied bearing of these honest and
upright men, standing in the simple ma
iesty of truth, will contrast strongly with
that of their persecutors-t base and un-
principled tools of base and more malig-
nant despotism.
1t will be seen what has constituted, or
may constitute such crimes as treason in
England, and display the working of that
spirit, still in existence, which would sacri-
flee PENN on its sanguinary altars, or send
WASHINGTON to the scaffold. Let the peo-
pie doubly prize those institutions, whose
records have never been stained with pro-
ceedings so corrupt and infamous.

TRANSATLANTIC IREEs-We find i'll the
Utica Gazette facts showing that it is not ne
crsssary to select small trees for transplant
ing, in or1c, to ensure their growth. Large
trees may be az successfully planted as small
ones. The mode and result Of an expert
ment, made by Messrs PoMrRoY and Dur
TON, OF Utica, are thus given These gentle
men transplanted frees, comprising naples,
ems, beech, SC, some thirty feet in height,
which We're transplanted without being shornn
of any of their branches. The process of re:
moyal was as fellows: In The fall, before the
frost, trench was dug around the trees Sc.
lected, from ten 10 fifteen feet in diameter,
and the roots severed In the winter when
the ground had become solid from freezing,
the trees were pulled out by the aid of oxen
and levers, with the mass of earth firmly at.
tached 10 the roots. They were then tran.
sported erect Gu a strong sled, built FOR the
purpose, and set out. These trees grew in
open land, mile and half from the city.
They pul on their foliage last spring as if
wholly unconscious that they were not still
in their native soil, and the cnterpriaing gen.
tlemen who undertook this unusual course,
are rewarded with shade trees which by the
old practice it would have required twenty
years to produce. This plan is not novel
one We saw it praciised in our boyhood,
and the giant trees are still waving their
branches as freshly as if never transplanted
from their original location, At the same
time tha, The trenches arc dug around the Sc
lected trees, the holes should be prepared in
the places to which they are TO be removed.
