The ENGLISH ELMs AND THE LINDENs.-Tt is
a great pity, Messrs. Editors, that something
cannot be done to prevent the destruction of the
foliage of the beautiful English Elms and the
Lindens on the avenue, and in the Capitol
grounds, by the little insects that select the
leaves of these trees for prey. A Mr. Hunt
ingdon, of Louisiana, has written to the New
York Express, recently, that he has discovered
a remedy in the premises. 1t is this Bore a
three-1uarter inch hole very slowly with sharp
bit, into the centre of the trunk, fill up the
cavity with pounded birthstone, and close it up
with a pine stopper, an inch in length, and
fitting so tightly as to be driven in. The sui
phur is gradually absorbed by the sap-vcssels,
according to Mr.. Huntingdon, and carried to
the leaves, which become SO strongly impreg-
mated with the introduced substance, that it
causes instant death to these insect destroyers.
viii not our intelligent public gardener, Mr..
Maher, try this experiment upon these beauti-
full but suffering TREES?

Roman Catholic Church, T street. He had

Mr.. DICKINSON, of New York, is q fair and

only grow out of some peculiar position of the
Democratic party, such as that which resulted
in the nomination of Mr.. Polk.

Gov. JONES, of Tennessee, if taken up in due
form, and in good spirit, may work out his own
salvation in campaign; but the opportunity
depends upon the sacrifice of self upon the altar
by very large number of aspirants. If the
Wings want to elect good President for the
country, they will rebuke some Of their other
great men, and, with the aid Of as many Dem
ocrats as they can get, elect FILLMORE; or, il
they wish to do their best as party, they win
probably take JONES. Ii they depend upon
military prestige they will take Scorr-and be

The WEBSTER NOMINATING LIST at the Mer-

has been suspended upon two wires and extends
across the long reading-ro and there is
enough left to measure quarter the distance
back again. On this mammoth list may be
found some of the very best names in Boston.
The truth is that about every man with heart
in his breast, and brain in his head, accounts
it piece of good fortune to enroll his name on
the patriotic document Those who have any
doubt that Webster stock is the only kind that
is at all regarded in the market, should step
