Preserve Your Trees.

Messrs. Editors:--I have tho pleasure of in-
forming you that the communication you pub.
!ished in your paper last spring relative to the
preservation Of the elm trees which adorn your
city. by throwing over them a decoction Of to-
bacco. induced several gentlemen TO try the
experiment. aud In cyory case it fully succeed
ed. f.. ee.q ..r
William T.. Carroll. Esq. tried it on an elm
in front of his dwelling, and he assures me not
worm was found on IL.
Mr.. Martin Ranahan. the entcrprising keep
er of the grounds atthe War and Navy Depart
ments. after ascertaining its complete success
on the Gins. determined to try the experiment
on the linden trees; and. though unacquainted
with the precise timo Of throwing on the de-
coctinn, and consequently ofprovcntng the flies
from dcpositing their eggs. yet by little perse-
verenco. he succeeded in driving tho worms
entirely from the trees: and they retained their
foliage during tho season whilst those in front
Of the Presidents house were completely de-
nuded.
The Commissioners of public buildings also
tried the experiment on the four magnificent
olms at the foot Of the steps leading to the Cap
to', which for several years past had been en-
tirely stripped Of their leaves, and the result
was completely successful. Not worm was
found on tho trees, and they retained their 70.
liage 10 the close of the season.
As some difficulty may arise in tho minds Of
many TO The precise time of throwing on the
tobacco juice. will give them an infalbe rule,
viz: as soon as tho leaves are well developed.
they will be found to be perforated with small
holes. This is produced BY bug, which feeds
on the leaf until it becomes fly, and then de.
posits its eggs in straight limo. about half an
inch long, on the under sdo oftho leaf II tho
decoction DO thrown on immediately, it will
drive the bug entirely away; or if any eggs havo
been laid. it will destroy them completely. As
second crop of worms viii be necessary about
that time to give them another sprinkling. If
this course be adpoted by all interest. have
no hesitation in saying that in two years time
the worms will he entirely exterminated
The expense is inconsiderable. half a barrel
full ofthe decociion, which can be made out of
refuse tobacco. or the washDgs of tho spttoons
in our public Offices. will be sufficient for large
tree.
AS the Gins and lindens are certainly the
handsomest ornamental trees, and as the worms
can 90 so easily exterminated. it is sincerely
hoped that the pcblic authorities, and all others
interested, will give the experiment n fair trial.
and rescue those beautiful trees from destruc.
tion, and restore them to public confidence.

young girl within his own, together they
decended into the waters.
A beautiful sight was that young mai
den, thus coming out from the world and
giving herself to God. The very act
seemed full Of love, and purity, and holi-
ness. The spectators almost held their
breath in the very intensity of their gazing,
Then was heard aloud the voice of the
preacher, as he pronounced distinctly,
Dora Nelson, l baptize thee in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost. Amen One sound upon
the waters, and all was over.
Then her sweet low voice broke forth
in song. Others joined her, till all hearts
seemed borne aloft on music's wings, even
to the very gates of Heaven. 1 looked
upward, almost expecting to see the
heaven open, and the Spirit of the Dove
descending to dwell upon that young
Christian. Forgive the thought if it was
irreverent; could not help it. Never
had anything in my past life appeared to
me so purely solemn. Itseemed, for the
time, rs though Christ was in our very
midst-as though the age of miracles had
returned.
When the young girl came forth from
the waters she was joyfully received by
her friends upon the shore. The same
calm, holy expression sat upon her fea-
lures, only more calm, more holy still. A
benediction was pronounced, and the
people dispersed; but never while life re-
mains, will the remembrance of that scene
pass from my mind. 1t is craven there,
as one ofthe sweetest, loveliest, pictures
upon which my eye has ever rested.
| know not of Dora now. Time and
distance have separated us, probably for
ever. But many time comes her pure
young face wildly before me. Again /
hear her voice, again see her buried with
Christ in baptism. God grant that her
early vows may have been kept pure in
her heart from that time until now; and
that thus they my be hereafter kept, till
she meets her God in Heaven.

an Unrecorded Incident of the Reyo.
luton.

At this season Of the year-the recur-
renee Of the anniversary of our, national
lndePendence-our thoughts naturally
revert to the scenes and incidents of that
time, when the souls of men were tried.
There was, perhaps, no community more
sorely tried" than that in the middle
part Of Moth Carolina, in which Lord
CORVALLIS had his head quarters for some
length OF time; and ss the vicinaee of
this great commander encouraged to deeds
OF sensual recklessness and cruelty, the
Tory part of the citizens, it also stimulated
to renewed asdor, and more faithful yip;.
lance the true and brave patriots of the
country. The congregations of Alamance
and Baffaloe, under the pastoral charge
of Dr. Caldwell, in Guilford county, con-
sisted altogether of persons of the latter
class; many Of them served without paw,
o. volunteers, in various parts of the
country, and all the men ablo 10 bear
arms, were at some time or other--in fact
most OF the tims--ip service against the
Torres or the British. Among these men
was Colonel Daniel O.. n t;esy IN
war, true, brave and severe; and Al ons

Pany Of his neighbour, who, with him,
had formed a voluntary patrol to watch
and ehassise the Tories in the susroundipg

INFORMATION FOR FARMERs.-In ag-
riculture, as in all other empl,yments, if
one would pursue it successfully, we should
understand it, or in other words, have a
thorough knowledge of its theory. That
we may obtain that information, we should
furnish ourselves with books of the best
authors on that subject and at least, with
one periodical devoted to agriculture, and
study them attentively, and then we shall
be prepared to perfect our knowledge by
experience. There are, at this enlightened
day, strong prejudices against book-far-
ming, as ii is termed. Ipity the stupid
ity of the man who thinks that if we use
books, we mustshut our eyes against the
light that is beaming upon us from all
other sources. What is book-farming9
1t is learning by means of books, new
facts, opinions, and the result of expert
ments, and different modes of operation,
and we can use such parts Of the infor-
thuo ttS DcSL SUITS our
situations. If we would acquire the ap-
pellation of good farmer, and so pursue
the occupation as to make it pleasant and
profitable, we must study its theory until
we obtain a thorough knowledge of all
its various branches. We must learn the
nature and properties of soils, know their
wants, and how to perpetuate their fertil,
ity. The study of agriculture as a science
and its pursuit as an enjoyment deem
admirably calculated to produce individ,
ual happiness. 1t leads the mind away
from the turmoil and hustle of many other
pursuits, and places a reliance on individ,
ual exertions and the blessings of heaven
In the labor of the field, under the blue
canopy above, when the breeze Is pure and
refreshing, there is that freedom from the
cares and perplexities of the world, that is
seldom enjoyed in any other pursuit.

Deep Riyer, somewhere near the Randolph
and Chatham line; and as the day was
intensely hot the neighborhood quiet, and
the water inviting, Captain G. and his men
hitched their horses on the margin of the
pond, and prepared for bathe. In the
meantime, the First Lieutenant, Ia brother
of the commander, equal in courage, but
more of wag.) was sent with several
men to scout through the country, and
hunt forage for the horses; and this pre-
caution attended to, the major part of the
company, with their gallant leader, p!ung-
ed into the water and began to enjoy
themselves hugely, and cut all sorts of
aquatic capers. In the midst of their
pleasant sports, however, a pistol shot was
heard, and another and another, in quick
succession; and in a moment after, there
were shouts and screams, and then came
galloping furiously back Lieutenant G.
and his party, all in the widest confusion,
and desperately spurring their horses
Almost in a twinkling the bold Captain
was in his saddle; and following his en-
ample, some ran for their horses, while
some struggled vainly to jerk on shirt,
or bundle up their unmentionables. There
was no time, however, for etiquette, or at
tention to dress; old Captain G., sword
in hand, scolded and belabored, and per-
haps swore little, riding hither and thi-
ther, and sometimes with the point of his
weapon Fastening, in double quick time,
the mounting ofhis men. And so at last
he had them on horseback, in battle order;
and thus arrayed, some with only shirt
between them and the blazing sun, some
with pants and no shirt, and some with a
cap and pair of spurs, and some in state
of primitive nudity, the bold Captain him,
self in the latter predicament, with face
stern as that of Mars, gave the word to
march, and off they went at brisk canter,
not an imposing array to look at, but a
desperate body to encounter. Just at this
moment the Lieutenant and his men,
burst into wild peal of laughter; the
joke was instantly apparent to all, but ii
was near having fatal termination. II
was we'll for the Lieutenant that he was
the Captains brother; and it was well fol-
his party that he had been at their head.
Even as it was, the laugh, for some time
was all on one side, but after while they
all gave into the merriment; and so, what
promised to be bloody encounter, ended
in a glorious frolic.
Those stern, brave men would have
their fun. Peace to their ashes, all, and
honor to their memory !-Raleigh Post.
