ordinary quality we paid - 80. Now e11 any oae
tel why such prices should prevail. II Motive WI
II is because the farmers Of the whole region around
NeWYork are the most perverse obstinate followers
in The footsteps Of their asrous predecessors, who
never thought Of tie necessity advantage OF plant
iDc than three ounce bushes, which stood, yes
stand still, and have stood for half century, pro-
duciEg just frut enough 70 serve the wants OF the
fsmiy, TO I" favor the apple sauce They have
never thought Of such thing planting ounce
orchorc Of the bes; variety Of fruit that could be OBJ
tanned, and cultvatiDg it With crop for pro-
ct. We have not beard If but one man who has pur-
sued this course and we are told that be received last
year fourteen hundred dollars for the produce Of
think three acres, which more than be received
for the salabe produce Of all the res; of the farm.
We saw In trip through Connecticut last week
one or two ounce bushes near Amos, every farm
house. or in most of the village gardens bu, no where
could we hear Of bushel for sale. The fruit which
We saw in its golden richness upon many tree you'd
cell at current prices here noF for more than the pro-
fit upon any An acre Of corn that had been raised
with more toll than all the ounces upon the trees Of
WI ole township.
Ounce trees delight TO grow in moist rich spots
along old stone walls or creek banks by the side
+
places that are waste or useless for ordinary cuva
ton. Yet how few are occupied. Where can we
see a ounce orchard Nowhere. Yet any given
quantity Of land in that fruit would probably pro-
cuce ice much profit in apples. There is no
more danger Of glutiing the market with one kind OF
fruit than another.
Any person DESTROYS of sending friend paper
which contains all the narratives, incidents, &c OF
the loss OF the Arctic, together with Henry Ward
Beecber's and E. II. Cbspins Sermons, can do so by
buying a copy Of tbs TRIBUNE Of THIS MoRSISG,
made up for circulation in California, &c. See con-
tents under Editorial head.
The Annual Parade Of The TRIBUNE GUARD will
take place tomorrow They will proceed to Hoboken
in the morning where there will be target firing. Re
turning to the City, they will partake of supper
at The Florence Hotel, corner Of Broadway and
Wakerst.
The paragraph going the rounds OF the papers, that
Kssane the forger who escaped from the custody OF
the officer having charge of him, Hornllesvile
on the Erie Railroad few days ago, has been re-
arrested is without truth. The fellow is still at large.
Three hundred and forty. three recruits, under the
command of Capt l. Burbank, sail to-day for Corpus
Christi in the ship Middesex. They will be accom-
panied by Capt. J. b. ricketts,, DR.. Myers Lieut..
Bliss and one or two ether officers.

A DUEL AT HoBoKES Our City, or rather Hobo
ken. has been sgnalzed by another affair of hon r,
the first for many years in which any blood has been

Councimen Wild and Seely, il will be remembered,

Of this morning engagement on the fats Of Hoboken,
