RIGULTUR
HOW CATTLE KILL TREES

1t is a noticeable fact that a tree ever
SO thrifty and of whatever kind, to which
cattle gain access, and under which they
become kabitu2ted to stand, will very
soon die. In the case.ofa SOLITARY shade
tree IN a pasture. or by the road side.
this is of common occurrence. The
query may have been suggested to what
is this owing. In the first place rubbing
a tree by the necks of cattle is highly
pernicious, and if persisted in it will
COMMONLY destroy them sooner or later ;
but If The body Of the tree be cased SO
that theirnecks cannot touch it, death will
ensue just as ceFtainly if they areallowed
TO tramp the earth about if.-But why
should tramping the earth about 1t, de-
stroy the trees The reason is laws of
vegetable growth. The roots of plants
need air. if not as much, yet just as tru-
ly, as the leaves and branches. The case
is analogoustothat Of fishes which though
they must have water must have air also,
via. just about as much as permits the
water. 1t be shut off so that none which
is fresh can get to them, they will exhaust
the supply on HAND, and then-die for want
OF more.
So the roots Of trees and vegetable.
want AR. Whenthe earth is in a norma
or natural condition II is full Of inster
stices and channels by which air get Il
them. But il the cattle are allowed Il
tramp down the earth, and the sun aid
their work by baking it al the same time
a crust like a brick is formed, wholly i'm
pervious to the atmosphere and the tire
: yields 10 its fate. So a tree cannot liv
if its roots are covered with a close pave
ment. They will struggle for life by cree
ping to the surface and hosting out
brick here and a stone there, or find
crack where there noses can snuff littI
breath ; but if fought down and covere
over will finely give it up. So if a tire
be thrust into close clay or It's roots al
$ kept under water, it refuses either
be an aquatic or TO put up with its air,
minons poison. II will grow as little
possible and die The FIST opportunity.

SHOCKING MURDER.

We copy the following from the last Fayetteville
Observer. Mr.. McNabb, thus cruelty murdered, was
Baptist Minister, and we'll known throughout the
State: ....r
"SHocKINa MURDER. The Rev. Robert McNabb,
of Carthage Moore County, N. e., was cruelty mur.
dered on Friday night last, in his own yard. We
learn verbally, that neighbor sat with him till 9 o.
clock in the evening, after which MIR. McNabb took
his pipe and went into the garden to smoke before
retiring for the night He did not return, and his
body was found till the following morning at 10
o'clock, when. by following up the marks of blood
from the garden, it was discovered in the woods,
some $50 yards distant, horribly gashed, the head
nearly severed from the body, with deep wounds in
the side. Three of his own negroes were arrested,
of whom two men are now in Jail, without any pos
tive testimony against them; but some suspicious
circumstances, such as that long knife and some
clothing known to belong to Of them, cannot be
found. 1t is supposed that the object of the murder
was robbery, as Mr.. McNabb was known to have
had about 800 in his pocket, which has not been
found" ..,'.aE. .F#E 'fH o.. ..s !

''The anti.savery sentiment is yet dangerous

acknowledged exponent is the free.so party but it
is also vrulent and dangerous both in the Wing and
