of the kind. By the treaty between Great Britain

threaten to exterminate all the barbarans il they
attempt to enter the town. We have all the neces-

addressed letter to Com. d. GEisiNeER, who is
"a command ofour squadron, to give us protection.

even anticipated our wishes by reducing the draught

WIRE FENcNG.-We observe that, for the pro-
lection of the grass pals from the travel of pedes-
TRANS in the Capitol grounds, the Commissioner is
now erecting tasteful fence of wire, which is so
highly commended for that purpose to our farmers
in the June number of the "Plough, the Loom, and
the Anvil" Neat cedar posts are planted at about
rod apart, through which four strands of the wire
are passed and, when completed, we think will
present durable and handsome fence and be an
additional ornament to the public grounds. On this
subject the editor of the periodical referred to re-
marks shat, now that iron is getting so abundant,
the subject Of wire-fencng is one well worth little
study, for we are firmly persuaded that, as the
cheapest neates and most durable it will certainly,
within few years, in most districts, supersede all
others.'
