NARROW ESCAPE.

THERE is not doubt but many a life is
i saved by the refreshing effects produced
from a glass of C. COLUMBUS'S PURE ICE
CREAM, Delicious in favor, and medicinal
in its operatiods, it gives strength and appe-
tite, and possesses invigorating properties
which defy the enervating influences of the
burning sun or sultry days of summer. This
Cream is pronounced by ladies and gentlemen
of the finest tastes to be superior to any made
in this city.

Virginia Election.

The following is the result of the cleo
ton in this State, as far as received:
First district, Hon. T. H. Bayly, DEM,
for Congress, had no opposition.
Second district, N1illson, DEM, is re-
elected.
Third, John S. Caskie, DEM, is chosen
by about 800 majority.
Fourth, W. o. Goode, DEM, is elected
by large majority.
Fifth, John T. Wootten, W., leads the
ticket as far as heard from. Result doubt
full.
Sixth, Powell, dem, is doubtless re-
elected.
Seventh, Edgar Snowden, W., is 142
ahead of Smith, dem, with five counties
to hear from. Result doubtful, with the
chances in favor of Smith.
In the 9th, 10th, 18th, and 18th dis
tricts there was no serious opposition to
the democratic candidates.
For the Legislature, the wings gain 4
members; the democrats one.

Washington Monument.

A correspondent, addressing us through
the post Office, says:
"Suppose you suggest to some one who
has the right to act, that in order to let
the Metropolis compete with the States,
there be placed at each of the wards, on
the day of election, small box, so that
whenever a person deposits his vote, he
can, at the same time, deposit his mite
towards the completion of the Washing
ton Monument. There is no one, no
matter how poor, who will not be willing
to lend his aid. Suggest this though
your valuable little sheet, and oblige one
who contributed in kentucky"
We most cheerfully adopt this sugges-
ton of our correspondent, and promptly
give it the benefit of our circulation. OF
its practicability, there seems no doubt
The plan described has been carried out
in nearly all the States, and with en-
couraging success. In some of the New
England States several hundred dollars
We're collected on the days of elections.
By all means let this excellent plan be
faithfully carried out in Washington.
What more fitting place is there in all
our country for leading the way in gener-
Gus contributions to the Washington
Monument?
1t is rule, we believe, with some pa
triotic, literary and benevolent societies,
never to make application for funds
abroad, until they have done all they
could do at home. On this ground, they
have applied with more confidence and
success to the public at large. Tried by
this standard, how would Washington
appear? Have we done all ne could here
for the noble structure that bears the
honored name of the founder of our city2
If not, with what propriety can we call
on the several States? How can we con-
graduate the different commonwealth,
societies, orders and associations in their
generous contributions to this great ma
tional work, if our own memorials are
unworthy the great object in view?
Let these questions be properly an
swered by all our voters at the next mu-
nicipal election. No one has right to
ask to be excused from contributing to
such cause in such city. Shame on
the American who is willing to see the
Washington monument 60 up, without
contributing as much as he is able to
complete it!
Who will see that these Washington
Monument boxes are furnished and placed
at the polls7 Who will label them, and
direct to them the attention of every voter?
Remember what our great father has done
for us, and hasten to finish this national
monument to his memory!

REDUCTION OF PosTAGE.-By an official
notice, says the Union of this morning, it
will be observed that the Postmaster
General, availing himself of the authority
contained in provision of the postage
act of Sd March, 1851, has ordered a
reduction in the rate of postage on pam
phlets and magazines sent to or received
from foreign countries, which cannot fail
to be highly acceptable both to the press
and to the public generally. By said
act, which is still partially in force with
reference to foreign countries, the rates
are numerous and complicated-varying
according to distance and the weight OF
the article conveyed. For instance, &C.
cording to this act, the price per ounce
on printed matter to the continent of Eu-
rope is four cents an ounce, and to coun-
tries distant over $500 miles the charge
is raised to five cents an ounce. These
rates, it is needless to say, are little less
than prohibitory. The order, therefore
not only greatly reduces the postage on
pamphlets and periodicals but what is
equally desirable, it fixes a simple and
uniform rate to foreign countries of two
cents an ounce as the price in all cases
| except as therein mentioned.

Time for Pruning.

Volumes have been written on this
subject, a great part of which is mere
theory Many pune in the spring
from custom I'M, and others in June be-
cause the wound heals quickly, not
rejecting that tits of more impor-
lance thatt wound heal soundly
than quickly. W. give directions,
according to our experience for thirty
years. HI
Slight pruning, in which very small
limbs or dead limbs of any size are
removed, may be performed, when
most convenient, in any season. -
Moderate pruning should be done lin
June, July, or August, though it will
answer very well till December. If
trees are Npruned in July, August, or
September, the wood will become
hard, sound. and well seasoned, and
commence healing over; and it is not
material, otherwise than for appear
ance, whether it heals over the first,
second, or third year, as it will rd-
main in a healthy state.
We should prefer October, Novem
Der, Or even December, to the spring,
which is the worst season. The trees
then are full Of sap, and it oozes out
at the wound, which turns black and
decays, like a tree cut in the spring,
and Allowed to retain the bark. But
if limbs, ever so large, are cut in Au
& lst pr September, the Tood will be-
come hard and rcmlin SO if it never
heals over.
Thirty-two years ago, in septcm
Der, we cut a very large branch from
an apple tree, on account of injuries
by a s;le. The tree was old, and I'll
has never healed over; but it IS now
sound, aud almost as hard as horn, (
and the tree perfectly sound around
it. A few years before and after, large
Inns we're cut from the same tree in
the spring; and where they were cut
oil, the tree has rotted SO that quart
measure may be put into the cavities
