INDIANA.

1t is now stated that Rev. Samuel Brenton,
Wing. is elected in the 10th district of Indiana,
instead of Judge Borden, Democrat. II so, the
delegation will stand 8 Wings, Democrats; in
the last Congress it consisted of / Wing, Dem
ocrats and Free Soiler.
vote was taken on the day of the Congress
sonal election upon the adoption of the amended
Constitution framed by the recent Convention,
and majority of some 10000 declared for adop-
ton A clause, prohibiting the immigration of
negroes into the State, was submitted separately,
and was also adopted
This exclusion Of negroes seems to be becom.
ing the general policy of the North West, and
we do not understand that the Abolitionsts oppose
it. 1t is certainly very inconsistent with the ia
natical philanthropy of that class of agtators;
but, however brought about, we incline to the
opinion that the Southern States ought to be pleas
ed, rather than dissatisfied with its adopton.--
For our part, we wish there were not negro in
the North, and we should have thought it a wise
amendment of the new Constitution of Virginia
to prohibit the emancipation Of slaves by their
owners, except on condition of their being trans
ported beyond the limits of the United States.-
True philanthropy condemns the translation of the
negro to country where, in contact with the
shrewdest and most gain-loving portion of the
white race, he must generally be borne down, i'm
poyershed and degraded. But Southern policy
still more forbds the establishment in the free
States of large cooured population to be per-
petua source of dlsquet and insecurity to the ten
ure of slave property. The statistics of the CEN
seem to indicate, that without constant incre-
ments from the South the African ingredient of
Northern population would ultimately disappear.

DWARF TREEs.-Whole orchards, too, of these
dwarf trees, pear trees in particular are being plant
ed for the growth of fruit for the market and when
we consider that not one out of hundred will die
in panting-that 800 to 500 may be put on an acre
of ground, and that in two or three years at most
they begin TO bear-we do not see why they will
not be profitable. Many also very udiciously fill
the spaces between standard pear and apple trees
with pyramida pear trees on ounce stock consider
ing that at the end of twelve or fifteen years when
their standard trees have come into full bearing, and
the dwarf trees begin to be in the way, they can
very well afford to cast them off. This system of
managing orchards is extensively practIsed in
France, where orchards and fruit gardens are mod
els for the world. 1t cannot but be highly adyanta
geous in this country, at least in all the older dis.
trcts, where land Is valuable, and iruit-growing an
important pursuit. An orchard of five acres, for
example, WILL at thirty feet apart each wav. con-
tain but two hundred and forty-two standard trees
Among these we can put in seven hundred and
tweny-six dwarf or pyramidal trees at fifteen feet
distance all around Until the eighth or tenth year.
the standard trees will yield nothing worth reckon
ing upon; but from the the third or fourth year. the
dwarf will yield considerable income and by the
seventh or eighth year, they will produce not less
than from 81 TO ss4 worth per tree
A few years ago, nobody sought for dwarf trees.
Scarcely anybody knew Of such things. The tall
was the only sort of tree recognised for all sorts o
circumstances. The little village garden of so by
20, or the orchard Of twenty acres, were placed up
on precisely the same footing in this respect The
consequence was, the small gardens were entirely
unavailable to fruit culture, beyond few goose.
berry or current bushes and thousands and tens Of
thousands of citizens, in all parts of the coun.
try, who will in few years have charming little
gardens of dwarf trees, were quietly excluded from
all the pleasures and profit which this interesting
culture cannot fail to yield.
People everywhere in our cities end villages, who
have but small lot Of ground TO cultivate are very
naturally delighted with trees, so admirably adapt
ed to circumstances. Old people, too, who could
not reasonably hope to reap the fruit of standard
trees that yield in less than six or ten years
are planting dwarfs, because in two years at most
they may gather their fruits. Thus, two large clas
ses Of persons heretofore quite excluded from fruit
culture, are now brought in, and are in fact the
most actiye.--E Erchonge

buildings and other property belonging thereto, and
