IMPORTANT TO MEXICAN CLAIMANTS. We see it
stated in New York paper that the Secretary of the
Treasury had appointed house in Washington TO
amounts which would be respectively awarded to
them by the board of commissioners now sitting in
this city. We authorized in saying that no such
appointment has been made by the Secretary, who,
on the contrary has not decided in what mode those
payments shall be made. The board of commission
ers have nearly closed their labors, and will by law
finally terminate them the 10th instant. The
whole amount Of their awards, it is said, will come
within the three and quarter millions stipulated in
the treaty. The awards will not be payable until
thirty days after the commissioners have closed their
proceedings. National Ilteiigencer.

In several sorts they make and mature larger and

Hartford and around Hartford ought to produce the
best pears in New England, and plenty of them.
These strong soils and clay sub-soils just the
thing for them. In former paper the writer advis
ed people get scons and graft their old pear trees,
as wei! to plant young trees. But hundreds of
lots and gardens have got old pear trees. These
should have young trees planted, either ounce or
pear stocks, as the owners prefer.
France has long stood foremost in variety and abun
