OAKS. Prof. Beck says the oaks of the forest
are known with toleFabe certainty, to attain the
ages OF 800 or 900 years. and are the most aged
trees that we possess. Pines are stated by Dr.
Williams, in his history OF "t7mont, to live from
$50 to 400 years. OF the oaks comprised under
the Lnnaan genus quercus, botanists are ac-
quanted with more than 440 species of which
upwards of one-h hall belong to America In New
York State there fifteen various species, as
follows :-Mossy cup, post white, swamp white,
swamp chesnut, willow, black scrub, black, red,
and scarlet, gin and red oak The white oak is
the most valuable OF all, being extensively en-
poyed in ship building. In England, in 100 YEARS
time, the price OF ship building advanced 100 per
cent. Sinclair, in his Code of Agriculture
states that 10 gun ship requires 200 loads Of
wood, the produce of 50 acres each tree stand
ing 80 feet apart. Hence the importance of cul-
tivating the oak and, where the young trees are
raised, the ground should be cultivated for 20
years at least.
Flemish proverb thus involves the whole
system OF agriculture :-"Without forage. no
cattle; without cattle, no manure; without ma
nure, no crop.

CITY AFEAIRS.

On Monday evening counsel was heard, before the
Board of Aldermen for and against the application for
the extension Of Chestnut Street into Pleasant Street.
The subject as well as that of laying out Walnut Street
and portions of Chestnut and Elm Streets, was laid
for a fortnight.
The report on the revision of the Jury Box
cepted after the change of oae name The list bore the
names of eight persons who are Attorneys and Counse>
ors at Law and as such entitled to exemption from
vice as jurors, though not in active practice. Alderman
Thomas moved that they be stricken from the list, bu
the motion was negaved-Yeas Q, Nays6 6. 1t appears
to us very clear that the motion of Alderman Thomas
was correct So long the individuals sustain their
present relation the courts the law exemPts them from
service and no power in the State compel them 10
serve. The law certainly never could contemplate that
exemp's should be placed in the Jury Box, md il is
clearly improper and unequal TO allow portion of those
in the box to serve when it suits heir convenience
fancy and 10 refuse absolutely when it does not, With
out any pow er 10 enforce their service.
The report of the Committee on the subject Of City
Seal was accepted The shield is TO bear heart, with
the motto "With Heart and Hand" Around the cir
conference is TO be the words Worcester; town in

certainly strikes Us as rather ncongruous Indeed,

apSus ngude joke, and, Tor that purpose, procured

should have something original and appropriate both as

Breaking the Sabbath. and Breaking his Head.
Patrick Madden, keeper of a shanty boarding
house ON the A. and X. R. Road, took it into his
head to steal time from the Lord on Sunday before
last, and steal log Of wood. To get it apart he
stole lot OF powder from the contractor, also
stole short bit OF fuse-he then charged the
log, put in the fuse, applied coal to it, and plac
ed his mouth close down to blow the coal. This
charge went of, bruised his head, banged out his.
eyes, burnt the skin from his face, and broke one
of his arms in two places. That's what W g call
