of course, very large the heterogeneous sub

Of twenty per cent; Of gum, to thirteen or

from the above results, is one Of the most

Fruit Trees.

The new method of raising fruit trees by
planting the %scicns, is a great desiratum in
the art of obtaining good fruit, 1t has ma
ny advantages over grating, because it is
more expeditions, and requires no stock nor
tree. They may be planted where they are
required to stand, and the labor of one day
will be sufficient 10 plant out enough for a
large orchard after the scions are obtained.
The method of preparing the plant is as
follows Take the scions as for grating,
and at any time after the first Of Feb. and
until the buds begin to grow considerably.
and dip each end of the shoot into melted
pitch, wax or taIlow, and bury it in the
ground, the buds uppermost, whilst the body
lies in a horizontal position and at the depth
Of two or three inches. We are informed
that trees obtained in this way will bear in
four years from the time of planting, We
have no doubt of the practicability of this
method of raising fruit. A gentleman i n
this vicinity the last season, planted about
twenty scions of different kinds of pears,
which appear to flourish. The compost
ton he used was melted shoemaker's wax.

Ifain would search creation DER,
From land unto the sea,
And scan this world from shore to shore,
To find a wreath Tor thee.
And | would pluck the sweetest rose
Or violet ever fair,
That in our genial climate grows,
To Irvine around thy hair.
And | would walk in those fair fields,
Where fancy bids me roam,
Could | but find some flower that yields
Its ever rich perfume;
And | would bind it for a wreath
To deck thy brow so fair,
And gather flowers from every heath
To Irvine around thy hair,
And could find some fragrant flower
If such on earth there be,
Such as once bloom'd in Eden's bower,
I'd Irvine a wreath for thee.
But It's in vain; why should | try
To deck thy head with flowers,
For in an hour they droop and die,
And are no longer ours,
But, yet, there's found a speeter rose
Than earthly flowers can be,
IT'S virtus, and its beauty CLOVIS
Fen in eternity.
Now may This rose adorn thy brow
While life to thee is given,
And when is trying scenes are through,
Thou'lt rest above in heaven.

A Good One.

Epes Sargent, of the Boston Transcript
tells good many stories under the head of
"Dealings with the Dead" One of these
numbers he devotes to fortune-huntlng, and
amongst other illustrations, gives the case
of a Mr.. Mewins. He was counting a
young lady of some attractions, and some
thing of a fortune into the bargain. After
a liberal arrangement had beeu made for the
young lady by her father, Mr.. Mewins, hav-
ing taken a particular fancy to a little brown
mare, demanded that it should be thrown
into the bargain and, upon a positive re.
fusal, the match was broken off. After a
couple of years, the parties accidentally met
at a country ball--Mr. Mewins was quite
willing to renew the engagement,-the lady
appeared not to have the slightest recollec'
ton of him.
"Surely you have not forgotten me- he
said.
"What name, sir 2" she inquired.
"Mewins," he replied 81 had the hon
or ofpaying my addresses to you, about two
years ago"
81 remember a person Of that name,'
she rejoincd, who paid his addresses to
my fathers brown mare"

ACURIoUs TRIo.-Mr. Dallas, when Sec.
rotary of the Treasury, says Mr.. Paulding,
told me the following story. which he had
from Mr.. Breck When the Duo de Liam
court was in Philadelphia, some time after
the execution of Louis the Sixteenth, Mr..
Brock called to see him at his lodgings in
Strawberry Alley. Knocking at the door
of a mean looking house, a little ragged
girl came out, who, on being asked for the
Duke, pointed to door which Mr.. B. en-
tered. At a little deal table, he found Cob
bett, teaching the Duke and Monsieur Tai

G7 John Quincy Adams siad he did not
consider the profession of law, in point of
dignity, in point of importance, beyond that
of the shoemaker, II tailor, or the house
wright, or the mason, or any of the mechan-
ical professions.
Had Mr.. Adams added farming, to the
list of callings he enumerated, he might, in
our opinion, have gone a little beyond the
point OF equal dignity".-ED.

THE HAIR.
RECOMMENDATION

PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 90 ,l84s.
MIR. J. P. Morse, Agent for I" Whites Hair Restorative, u
Dear Sir deem it my duty to state some facts respecting
the inestimable value of Whites Hair Restorative. Several
years ago, after IA severe fit of sickness, my wife lost all OF
her hair, the scalp appeared diseased, and the hair grew
out brash and uneven, About a year ago, by another fit OF
sickness, she lost all of her hair a second time, and for a
long lime there was apparently no action in the scalp. AT
ter varivus applications | was induced to try the above
mentioned Restorative, and now, after the use of few
bottles, her hair has grown out as thick. az lustrous, and OF
as beautiful a color as ever. Furthermore, for a long time
have been afflicted with neuralgia and other pains in my
head, and | have found it the best external remedy | have
ever tried | can, therefore, Cheerfully recommend it 70 an
who are afflicted as above, as the best article | have ever
seen. Most respectfully YOURS,

Soufh-Sidc Celebration.

bill, with a subscription on the part of the
State-the first appropriation of public
money asked for internal improvements in
which Petersburg was interested, for sew
eral years-having been considered suit
able occasion for rejoicing on the part Of
our citizens, it was determined to celebrate
the event by dinner. As has been an
nounccd in the city papers, Saturday last
was selected as the day, and the Governor
OF the Commonwealth, the Board Of Pub
lie Works, officers of the State the mem
bers Of both branches of the Legislature,
many of the members of the Convention,
and the corps editorial of Richmond, were
invited to be present
AT l o'clock, the cars having guests
ION board to the number of one hundred
and twenty, started from the Metropolis,

damead, himself coming along as superin-
tendciit OF the travelling arrangements, and
devo,ins his personal attention to the com
fort and security Of the guests OF Peters
burg. In a short space OF tInlc "the steai:,,,
horse" was pulled up at Pocahontas depot,
the coaches were emptied, the line Of
march formed, and to the inspiring tunes
of Ruffin's band, the procession moved to
the Bollingbrook Hotel, where large num-
Der of our citizena had assembled. We
had forgotten to say that committee of
our citizens were at the depot on the ar
rival of the cars.
At the Bolhngbrook Hotel, Mr. Moody,
the cnterprising proprietor Of that house,
had already spread an excellent collation.,
to which ample justice was done by the
guests.
Thence they were conducted to the APP
pomattox Rail Road Depot; where all the
preparations had been made, and in a
few moments they were following 1.-THE

boat had been provided there, and the ar

To the wings Of this District.

II viii be seen from the suboined ex.
tract from the Fsrmville Republican that,
the second Convention which has just been
held at that place, adjourned without ma.
king any final nomination. We under
stand that the nomination was rendered to
Mr.. H. H. Marshall of Charlotte, which,
for private reasons he declined; and as
there We're some doubts whether the cleo
tons would be postponed or not, the Con-
vention very prudently declined to take
any further action, until this question was
de6nitively settled. The body was called
together at a necessarily short notice,to act
in the emergency of the case, and hence
the Convention was not SO fully attended
as was desirable and as there was no
pressing necessity for an immediate nomi-
nation, it very prudently deferred it until
the Wings of the whole District could be
more fully consulted as to their wishes I'M
der the new aspect ofafairs.
Under these circumstances we respect-
fully suggest to them that, the people
themselves, in primary meetings at the
Court-houses of their counties, at their
March Courts, make their own nomina-
tons and if it shall be found they are u
unanimous in their choice, as we have rea-
son to believe they will now be, the neces-
sity Of third Convention will then be OBJ
waited. lin the meantime it should be as
certained that the elections will not be
postponed, then the officers ofthe late Con
vention, should reconvenc the members
forthwith and bring out a suitable candi-
date to represent this Umon-loving district
in the next Congress. From what we can
heir, the public voice now points to Mr..
Thornton Of Prince Edward as the pre-
sent choice of the Wing party, for their
standard bearer in the approaching con-
test and if it be agreeable to the Wings
of this county, we propose that to-day, at
Campbell Court, they lead off, by nomi-
mating Mr.. Thornton or some other Wing,
and the other counties we have no doubt,
will Immediately follow the example.
We throw out the suggestion with no
view Of attempting to forestall public SEN
timent, but simply to relieve the Wings Of
the necessity ofholding the third Conven-
ton.
