PLASrrse TREEs-The following
seasonabIe hints from the lastnumber of
the Ohio Farmer are worth remember
ing:
"Fcr the next sixty days nearly every
family in the United States VIII plant
one or more trees. How many OF these
will live and thrive as they should?-
Scarcely one in ten. Why? Because
thew are rudely taken up and afterwards
stuck in the hard, clayey earth, with
limbs and roots torn and ragged. An
instance will suffice. Farmer A. has a
lane or yard which he is determined to
beautify with elms and naples. He
goes to the woods. digs up tall spind-
ling trees, cuts off roots and limbs
throws the trunks on his wagon or sled,
and drags them where he wants them,
hoping they will flourish grandly, Nth
Osa tUngs, stomach or food. Some of
them barely live, and large majority
die. Why does he not use common
sense, get all the ROOTS he can, clip off
few of the branches, and then dig a
hole ten feet in diameter and three feet
deep, and fill it with rich surface soil,
placing his tree in it, and at about the
same depth it grew in the forest. Let
him do this, and water it occasionally.
and our word for it his trees viii grow
right away, and not one in hundred
die. .s-e.t
How many thousand of fruit trees
are planted in poor, thin soil, where
they must necessarily starve? As well
expect pig to thrive when turned into
a last years wheat field. No farmer
need spend his money in the purchase of
either fine trees or stock, unless he
knows how to take the proper care of
them after they come into his posses
sion." t< 81.

CURIosIrr.-Helen Jewett was cour-
texan, somewhat notorious in her day
for her beauty and accomplishments,
and an acknowledged contributor to
some of our first magazines. Her ca
reer, like many another of her unfortu
nate class, was terminated by a death
bloody as it was cruel. A man to whom
she was very much attached, and with
whom she appeared to be on terms the
most intimate, was induced, from fear
of exposure, to enter her room, and in
the middle Of the night, while the poor
wretch was asleep, to strike her with an
axe, splitting her skull open, from the
effects of which she is supposed to have
instantly expired. Her murderer then
retreated, after setting fire TO the house.
In his hurry he dropped the instrument
with which he produced her death, and
on its being identified as the property of
man in whose store the murderer was
he was arrested and tried;
but a witness coming forward to prove
an alibi, the jury acquitted him of the
charge of murder. The inculpated sub
sequently went to Texas, where he died,
years ago, miserable outcast and vii

NEW CRrMEs.-Mr. Egly, a member
of the House of Representatives from
this county, has introduced a bill "To
provide for the punishment of certain
offences therein named" By this bill
it is made misdemeanor in Constable,
Justice of the Peace, Sheriff or Deputy
Sheriff, Clerk of the Court or Deputy
Clerk, Master Commissioner or Attor-
ney, to collect money, and refuse or in
tentionally neglect to pay it over to the
party entitled to receive it. For this
misdemeanor, Constable or Justice
of the Peace, is to be fined in double
the amount by him withheld, and i'm
prisoned from thirty to ninety days. A
Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff, Clerk or
Deputy Clerk, or Master Commission
er, to be fined not less than two hundred
nor more than two thousand dollars,

less than twenty-five nor more than FIVE
hundred dollars, and imprisoned in the
county Jail from ten to ninety days, and
be forever prohibited from practicing as
Attorney or Counsellor at law in any
court of record in this State. unless
pardoned by the Governor. The other
persons and officers named in the bill are
also made incapable of holding their Of
fees; and rendered ineligible thereafter,
unless, pardoned by the Governor. ali
prosecutions are to be bv Indictment
This is a stringent bill, but we think
it ought to become law. Much incon-
venience has always been experienced
from the want of such a law to compel
officers to pay over money they have
collected. Gazette.

rRAEeE FREAK OF LreHrSne.-The
rodsburg PlOagh6oy of Saturday
stes the subjoined:
|s'During the storm on Thursday last,
The lightning struck a tree in Mr.. E.
Burford's yard. tearing the trunk at a
considerable distance from the ground,
but leaving all the branches untouched,
as well as that portion of the trunk next
the ground. The electric agent then
passed into Miss Rebecca Burford's s
school room, in which the pupils were
then engaged at study, tearing away
the upper part of the chimney in its
progress, throwing the ashes and fire
out of the stove, and playing various
sther fantastic tricks, to the astonIsh-
hent and alarm of the bewildered Ju-
keniles. One little girl had a book
'snatched from her hand by the strange
visitor, and torn into fragments; while
the India-rubber over-shoe OF another
was utterly demolished-not melted, as
was reported, but so torn and twisted as
to render it doubtful whether it was
really shoe or something else. The
hand of the little girl who lost her book,
was highly reddened by the shock, and
seemed to- have been severely burned;
butshe experienced no pain whatever,
and her hand soon recovered its usual ap-
pearance. 1t is certainly remarkable,
that although theroom was almost filled
with persons, not one was injured in the
slightest degree"

From UTAH-NEw ALPHABET.-Oul
dates from Salt Lake City are to Jan
26th. The winter so far, had been ia.
vorable, and no recent depredations by
the Indians are reported.
The Mormon pundits it seems have
set about reforming the English Ian
guage. The Deseret Nescs appears to
regard the new Alphabet as great i'm
provement, and squints at an authority
for it somewhat higher than human
We quote a portion of the article in the
Ns1cs explaining the invention:
The Board of Regents, in company
with the Governor and heads of the de-
partments have adopted new Alphabet
consisting of 38 characters. The Board
have held frequent sittings this winter,
with the sanguine hope Of simplifying
The English language, and especially its
erthography. After many fruitIess at
tempts TO render the common alphabet
Of the day subservient to their purpose,
they found it expedient to invent an en-
tirely new and original set of charac-
ters.
These characters are much more sim
pie in their structure than the usual al
phabetical characters; every supefruous
mark supposable, is wholly excluded
from them. The written and printed
hand are substantially merged in one.
We may derive hint Of the advan-
tage to photography, from spelling the
word eight, which in the new alphabet
only requires two letters instead of FIVE
to spell it, viz: AT. There will be
great saving of time and paper by the
use of the new characters; and but
very small part of the time and expense
will be requisite in obtaining knowl-
edge of the language.
The photography will be so abridged
that an ordinary writer can probably
write one hundred words minute with
ease, and consequently report the speech
of a common speaker without much diff
fculty.
As soon as this alphabet can be set
in type, it will probably be furnished to
the schools of the Territory for their
use and benefit; not however with
view to Immediately supercede the use
of the common alPhabet-which though
it does not make the comers thereunto
perfect, still it is vehicle that has be-
come venerable for age and much hard
service.
In the new alphabet every letter has
fixed and unalterable sound; and eve
ry word is spelt with reference to given
sounds. By this means, strangers can
not only acquire knowledge of our
language much more readily, but
practiced reporter can also report
strange tongue so that the strange Ian
guage when spoken can be legible by
one conVersant with the tonuue

erett's late visit to Boston, Mr.. Fletcher

forth, is wholly without foundation.-
No such correspondence took place-no
such original draft was given by Mr..
Fletcher Webster to Mr.. Everett-nor
did any communication of any sort take
place between them on the subject.
