CuEsNUr TREEs.--On poor land or
rocky soil, the chesnwt in one Of the most
profitable forest trees that can be cultiva-
ted. Its growth is very rapid, the timber
is always in good demand, and the fruit is
of considerable value. Some cultivate
this tree for its fruit alone. We have Of
ten wondered that it is not more regard
ed as an ornamental tree. None grow
larger, and few more symmetricaIly its
blossoms are handsome and unique, and
SO are its golden burs and rich nuts
Parks and pleasure grounds should al
ways be supplied with chestnut trees, also
with the black walnut, and best varieties
of hickory nut. Strange that these splen-
did fruit trees should be almost ostracised
from ornamental grounds; it is mere cap
rice that has done this in the United
States; in other countries they are highly
priced and carefully ultivated.-Ameri-

A NEW TRICK--We were informed
yesterday Of new trick used to raise the
wind by one Of those chevuliers dinclus-
Frie, who now too frequently. we regret 10
say, pay our city visit. About three
weeks since, an individual Of a gentcel
appearance and plausible address, called
at the residence of a gentleman Of this CT
ty, and intro duced himself to the lady of
the house, her hui sband & the time being
absent from the State, as Mr.. New, Just
arrived from Cambridge, and stated that
he had been requested by her son, then
at the University, should he take Charles
ton en- route for his home, to call on the
family.
Ofcourse. under these circumstances,
he was well received, and on leaving was
invited to renew his visit. which he ac-
cordingly did on the following evening,
spoke frequently Of the son as his class
mate. calling him Familiarity by his given
name, and offered to convey 10 him any
thing she might be disposed TO send
Before leaving. however, he regretted
that he had lost his purse, and promised
that he were accommodated with the
loan Of twenty dollars lie would return it
to The. SON on his arrivalat the University.
No fraud having been suspected, the re-
CURED sum was readily handed to him,
and he took his leave. Since his depar-
ture' however, the lady has heard from
her son. who disclaims having any ac-
qualntance with thesNid Mr.. New, and in
order that the new trick may. not be prac.
tised on any of our readers wAa have
sons at College, we have mentioned The
Charleston Courier.

tempt in favor Of sarsaparilla, from his knowl=
edge If its acknowledged virtues.
Its bad reputation in this community at present
has been brought about entirely BY the ignorance
or dishonesty of those who prepared it whilst
Sarsaparilla itself has uniformly enjoyed the con-
fdence of the Medical Profession in tho treatment
of large class of diseases.
With knowledge of these facts, the proprietor
of the preparation now offered, both to the pub

his operation on the latest discoveries and i'm
Provements in Pharmaceutical Science and wor-
king honestly to that plan,
He could offer to the public, ifhe thought adj
vlsabIe, the usual number of original and GEM
inc certificates of its efficacy, from those who
have tried it, hut he perfers merely to ask for his
preparation trial at the hands of the afflicted.
