George Thompson.

We are glud to learn that a considerable number O
our citizens, anxious this distinguished advocat
of Freedom and Reform, during his short sojoun il
this country and to hear from his own lips, ac
count of the great measures in which he has taker
50 prominent part, during the last fifteen years, hav,
uvitel him to visit Worcester, and address such
the people wish to hear him, at the City Hall. We
trust that the invitation viii be accepted and that we
shall have the opportunity of listening him. who
pronounced by Lord Brougham the eloquent IN
England, either in Parliament or out. The arrange
will be made for him to come on Saturday next
that time shall suit his convenience.
1t WILDE borne in miaI, that Thompson visited In
da, personally, to with HE own eyes the of
things in that vast dependency of the British Crown,
and, after his return, took the lead in carrying bills
through the parliament, for the abolition of slavery
there, and for making other reforms meorate the
condition of the people, He has also taken prom-
nantplrt in all the reform questions, which have come
before parliament in relation both to Great Britain and
Ireland, and the people of those Kingdoms whose con-
dton has been mach bettered by those benefcen
sures, speak of him in of enthusiastic attachment
This man, whose phil anthropy is bounded by no Sec
tioaa lines, bat Is broad the domain of humanity
makes hasy VISIT for relaxation from his arduous
abors at home, that he may invigorate his system and
prepare his mind for renewagof those labors at the
approaching sessions pa lament the sittings Of which
will soon call him from amongst us. One would sup
every person. in whose bosom hrobs the heart
Of true freeman would seek be among the foremost
to welcome him, and to bid him a hearty God speed in
his course. Bat prejudice has been excited against
himby the class of papers which has very apty been
deaominated the ''satanic press,' such the New
York Herald, the Boston Herald, and their compeers
They have taduced his character and misrepresented
his motives and objects, and made infammatory appeals
to the brutal passions of the ver portion of the
nifty, and the consequence has been the Fanue Hall riot
IN Boston. But hepubication ofthe address, which he
had prepared for that occasion, has dspeed the preju
dice wherever it has been read, aud shown that there
was no good reason, why any should object to Civ
ing him hearing.
Let him come then, and receive the warm hearted
greetings of all those who would urge on the car OF
Freedom and Humanity among all men the world over
as one of the ruest and abest champions of the cause
And we trust that those, who do not agree with him in
hisviews, if such there be, win have the honor and
character of the city much heart as to insure him
the quiet hearing which it is our pride to accord tc
every one, whether, his opinions agree with our owr
not.

FIGHT WITH A BEAR. The Batesyille Ar

bear which been domesticated, and became enrag-
ed from hunger, on two men-one of them the own
er. The bear had got loose, and while the men
were trying to conne him, he turned upon the mas
ter, named Gibbs, tore one side of his head with an
ear Off. The other came to Gibbs's assistance
and struck the bear with an axe, when the animal
seized him and threw him on the ground apparently
llleless. Gibbs, though seriously wounded, then
managed TO kill the bear with an axe. Hopes are
entertained of the recovery of both the wounded

PHAILosoPH1cAL FACT. A surgeon in the U.
S. Army, recently desired to know the most COM
mon cause of enlistments. BY permission of the
captain the company, containing ifly-fve, in a
pledge never to disclose the name of any officer or
private excepts as physical or metaphysical fact,
the true history was obtained of every man. On in
vesgation it appeared that nine-tenths enlisted on
account of some female difficulty; thirteen of them
had changed their names, and forty-three were eth
drunk, partially SO, at the time Of their enlist
ment. Most Of them were men of fine talents and
learning, and about one-thjrd had once been in ele
waited stations in life Four had been lawyers, three
doctors, aud two ministers. The experimenter be-
eves, if not for his pledge of secrecy, that
this would be interesting history, and would ex-
hbit the fraiIty of human nature fully any ex
perments made on the subject of the passions.

FRUIT TREES. The new method of raising
fruit trees by planting the scons is great desiIcra-
t'm IN the art ofohieining good fruit. 1t has many
advantages over grating, because it is more exped-
hous, and requires no stock or tree They may be
planted where they are required to stand, and thcIa-
Dor for one day will be sufficient to plant out enough
for large orchard, after the scions are obtained.-
The method of preparing the plant is as follows =
Take the scion as for graliing and at any time after
the first of Feb, and until the buds begin to grow
considerably, and dip each end ofthe shoot into melt
ed pitch, wax or tallow, and bury in the ground
