suchof the Northern people as are led by motives OF
! sincere philanhrophy, however mistakenly, to aid
indiscrininatey in the escape Liberation of South
A free negro, named Coleman, was indicted under
the State law which provides that every free negro
who shall have to Alabama since the lst of
February, 1913 and shall have been admonished by
any sheriff. &c., that he cannot remain in the State,
and shall within thirty days thereafter depart from
the same, shall, on conviction be punished by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary for two years.
The negro had lived in Mobile as free man. from
1926 to 1850, when he went to Ohio, with his vile
and children, enjoy the privileges of free State.
He subsequently returned to Mobile, and though re-
peatedly warned under the statute remained to abide
the consequences. He stated that he found himself
unable to get along in Ohio He treated no bet
than al home; he could obtain work to do; and
he accordingly volunteered TO return slave State,
and risk the penalty of the penitentiary rather than
attempt to live among the Abolitionists. lie was
warned to leave the State, he would not DO it. AT
he indicted, the solicitor of the State offered
to " ithdfaw the prosecution if he would go away.
His counsel advised him TO accent the Offer and
thus escape the penalty. He was infexible. He
had tried free State, and would rather stand pen
tentary in Alabama than trust to the tender mercies
of Ohio Abotionism. ~ o. Picnvune.

MORE ABOLITION SYMPATHY. The following pri-
waite letter, written from small town in Western New
DIRK, gives very clear notion of the selfish hypoc
rlsy winch is at the bottom of great deal of the
pretended philanthropy of Northern abolitonism:
" Editors Picovune-Like every body else and all
the rest of mankind, am travelling North.' lam
now spending few days in the wheat growing region
of New York, where besides the most promising
crop of the staff of life there can be found smart
sprlnkilng OF abotlonism-of the ant-Bible, law
and constitution order. Although OCCASIONAL feel
ing as II were In an enemy's country, am con.
strained to say, SO far my observation has extern
ted there is better state of feeling, in Wes
fern New ork, on this exciting subject, than exist
ed year or two since. | am sometimes annoyed,
but oftener amused, what see and hear of the
tics OF the Woolley Heads, they familiarity
called.
The following circumstance, which related to
me oy highly respectable gentleman, an inhabitant
OF his Town, will serve to show something of the
true spirit OF abolitionsm, which is diabolica in
Its character, as TO disgust, if alarm, the better
portion OF the community. 1t is good to be lost
so send 1t to you.
In certain part of the town live an old negro and
his wife, who came here than twenty years ago.
by industry he has acquired farm of about thirty
acres OF good land, comfortable log-cabin, with
farming utensils. stock, &C., worth at least fifteen
hundred dollars, I" al paid for and out of debt"
shortly after the passage of the fugitive-slave law,
he was approached by celebrated abolitonist, man
OF wealth and influence, who, by lying representa-
tlons induced the old man to believe he in dam
ger of being carried off into slavery, and advising
him to make all possible haste TO flee into Gambia.
" How shall go! what shall do with my home !
Epd Ofh Sl
very dlsInlerested friend, the abolitionst, "Sell !
OUT" was his reply. I" Bnt where shall l find pur-
chaser ~ s.! will buy you clean OUT 9uoth his
down, for every Thing that you have got - and the
poor fellow accepted the offer, signed the deed and
delivered up his all to this higher 7aw scoundrel.
The day after the deed was signed the old negro
met my informant, who, observing his downcast look,
inquired OF him the cause co. said he, that dread
full law, master! have sold every thing and am
going TO Canada the old fellow absolutely rem-
bled from head to foot greatly had his fears been
wrought upon; and SO much did the thought of leav
ing his comfortable home, and he knew not whittier,
trouble him. The gentleman drew from him all that
had taken place, and only discovered that he al
ready lamented what he had done and knew not how
to undo, but that altLoug slave, he was free,
and had still in his possession his free papers.
The matter became noised about and produced no
little excltemen and from tear of The consequences,
our very philanthropc Spectator in land and negro
sympathy was made to disgorge his ill gotten acqui
sition but not until the negro had given him ten dol
consideration for breaking the bargain.
The above is every word true, showing how hol-
low-heartcd and selfish many of those who would
not only rob the STAKEHOLDER of his property, but fitch
from the free negro his honestly acquired gain. The
fact is, The real abolitionst has got u6OUe law, and in
the language OF scripture, has been over to be-
lieve lie that he may be damned.

THE APPLE TREE BonER One of the greatest
evils that the fruit grower has TO contend against is
the apple tree borer which also attacks the ounce,
mountain ash, white ash, locust, hawthorn, and the
arionias.
This borer is the lava of two striped saperds (Sa
perdG bivittati) in its perfect state.
The beetle forth from the tree in June, in
the night, flying from tree too tree for food COM
panions, resting in the day time among the leaves on
which it feeds. In June, July and sometimes in Au-
gust, it deposits eggs the bark of the tree at or
near the ground. ,
The larya young borers from these eggs ie-
shy, round, whitish grubs, without legs This grub
eats through the bark, and remains there the first
winter. The next season it penetrates the wood throw
ing oat dust or cuttings, like dust, by which it
may be traced generally ascending, it proceeds,
and boring deeper into the tree. Its whole passage
is usually about IL to Is inches.
The third season, nearly two years from its ent-
rance, it approaches the surface where it undergoes
the tree.
Rarely the borer gels off the krnck, and descends;
sometimes it enters the several feet above the
ground, and seldom it enters the limbs of the tree.
Keep the trees well washed and the bark smooth,
and keep the grass, weeds, and rubbish away from
the trees that they may be examined conveniently.
During the time of depoSitinG the eggs, wash the
