~ By reference to our Police Jury
Proceedings. it will be seen that the
claim of the Commissioners appointed
to repair the Bridge over the Comite
river, has been again refused. This,
if we may be PERMITTED to express a
sentiment, is wrong, and it is dealing
with those gentlemen very unjustly.
Our citizens will perhaps remember
that some time since, lat the July
session Of the jury a com mittee of
four. Seth David, b. Williams, Danl.
Morgan and jackson Libby, were APP
pointed to superintend the work, and
300 was appropriated for the same.
When they came to take the bridge
to pieces, they found that to make the
work substantial, they would have to
remove some portions, not supposed at
first, to be insecure. They done this.
in order to make the work ordered by
the Jury substantial; and without it.
we ale told that the 800 would have
been very speedily tumbled into the
river. Tn removing the old timbers
and supplying new ones, they incur
red an actual out lay ofS150. Which
amount they thought in all justice and
good faith, the Jury at its next session.
thereafter, would allow. But the claim
has been twice refused, and on what
ground we know not. Will some gen
'leman acquainted with the reason
why this just claim on the Parish re-
mains unpaid That the public may
be correctly posted,

offers such profits, and at the same time
such pleasures, as the cultivation of fruits
if done properly; careless, halfway sys-
tenn will, as in all other pursuits, be un-
satisfactory. A multitude of persons
have embarked in fruit culture with view
to profit, apparently under the belief that
trees can take care of themselves, or pref
ty much so, until they have obtained a
productive state. They are planted and
left there; the ground cropped and culti-
waited as though no trees were there, and
no one who knows what tree is, or what
itrequires, is appointed to look after them
At the end of a few years, about the time
that an income was expected, we hear a
grumbling about the trees not doing well,
&C., &c. People must know that it is
useless to plant large orchards without
having competent persons whose special
business it will be to cultivate and take
care of them. We must not be told that
1t will not pay, for we know it will pay,
and we know that it will not pay to neglect
them. Every fruit tree requires certain
attention nearly every month in the year.
1t may be trifing, to be sure, but good
culture is made up of a series of operations
in themselves but apparent trifles.@Gea-

Fruit Trees---GoOd Culture.

In our recent meetings with fruit grow
ers we have observed that hiqh culture is
more thought of and spoken of than for
merly, and that people begin to take as
much pleasure in exhibiting few varie-
ties of remarkable fine growth and hand
some appearance as they have done in
showing large collection, the chief merit
of which was its variety. We are glad to
see this, and we are glad that societies in
offering premiums to promote improve
ment in fruit culture, are beginning to
shape their prizes so as to encourage this.
When our amateur cultivators all over the
country withdraw their attention from the
exciting pursuits Of novelties, and con-
centrate it upon the culture and manage
ment of small, we'll chosen collections, we
may expect to see some real advancement
made, but not until then. We would
much rather pay visit to fruit garden
in which we could find ten or a dozen va
rieties of the very best fruits under good
management, the trees skillfully and taste
fully trained, in vigorous and luxurint
state of growth with fruit in the highest
state of perfection, than to find fifty vari-
cites scattered about in all corners without
systemo, order, stunted in growth andhalf
covered with weeds. One well-grown
tree, or one dish of superior specimens of
any fine fruit, gives more satisfaction,
elicits more admiration, and confers, in
our opinion, more honor on the proprietor
than fifty neglected trees OF shabby dish
es of fruit. If we listen to the remarks
of visitors at an exhibition, when the mass
Judge of things just as they are, we will
be convinced of the truth of this. To col
lect new varieties is an easy matter, if one
has money enough, and ground enough;
but money, unless in the employment of
skill, will not cultivate trees. Itrequires
the exercise of constant care and skillful
treatment; and skillis only obtained by ex-
perience, observation, and industrious re-
search. This is what we want now in this
country-how to feed and train trees in
order to bring them to the highest possi-
BILE developement, both of beauty and fer
tillty. We really know very little yet of
what can and may be done in the growth
OF fruits. Occasionally we see few
specimens that give us an inkling on this
subject; but the instances in which such
specimens are brought to light are like an
gels's visits, few and far between"
Orchardists who are growing fruits for
market must reform their practice in this
respect. Full one-half of the orchard
fruits produced in this country are unmark-
able on account of the defective culture
and management of the trees. A few in
dlviduals who do give their business
thorough attention, realize profits that are
incredible to carless growers. One man
sells his fruit readily for three or four times
what another can obtain with difficulty

Prospectus of the wyandot Pioneer.

In view of the rapidly improving condition o
the county of Wyandot and town of Uppe
Sandusky, and for other reasons not neces
sary to bementioned, l have purchased nev
press, type and other printing material for tn
enlargement of the PIONEER. It is my intention
to attempt to get up as large and neat pape
as any one printed in any of the adjoining coun
ties; and in so doing, shall have to look to thu
citizens of The county for the support necessary
for it's continuance. The liberality of the peo
pie will, therefore determine the success and pub
lication of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man interested in the future growtl
and prosperity Of Wyandot county will freely
lend his aid in securing subscribers.
The PIONEER, in politics, will be Democratic
and at the same time, claim nothing for itsel
| that will not be extended to Others While the
editor has his PECULIAR NOTIONS of political and
other matters, he believes that other men have
alike privileges to their opinions. Although
may publish political paper, it must and will
be free from ALL FACTIONS, and controlled alone
by the editor. When | say this, it is not my in
tention to say that the advice of friends will moi
be received, for SHALL at all times be pleased tc
counsel with my friends upon all matters per-
tanning to the best interests of our county and the
publication of the paper. If however, might
differ with others in opinion, that difference can
alone be changed by full conviction of my
error.
The FARMER shall not be neglected, as good
~ portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
interests. A gentleman of ability, has kindly
consented to aid me in this department of the
paper, and with his aid, hope to be able to rem
der the country subscribers, good service.
The mechanic and laborer will always find
the columns of this paper open for the defence
of their rights and the advancement of their
prosperity. In fact all classes will find our pa
per ready to v1ndicate every thing calculated to
promote the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber
With this exposition of what the Pioneer will
be, I ask every gentleman, who can, to come up
and subscribe, and get as many more as he can
to do likewise. The prosperity of every town
and country depends more or less upon the pa
per of the county and that the paper may be
what it ought to be, let it have a good living
support.
JOB OFFIcE.-The selection of job type in the
Pioneer office being large, job work of every de-
scription will be neatly and expeditiously execu-
ted, at low prices.
The following rules and charges will in every
particular be strictly observed, and it would
therefore be well for subscribers to observe these
rules:

After receiving club, we will afterwards
add to the same clubs single subsc ribc S, at the
club rates, as is our practice with regular sub
scribers.
Our friends will thus see that we fix sub
seriptions at very low terms, in the expe ,tation
that our session circulation will be sufficiently
extensive to justify our very moderate prices.
The coming session of the Legislature will
be unusually interesting. Many of the gene
raj md local issues of the last canvass, in this
State, will come up for consideration. The
School Question, Taxation, Currency, General
Finance, the Maine Law, or the Liquor Cues
ion in some shape, our Federal Relations, and
not least in Importance, the Judicial Organiza-
tiou of the State, are all liabl or likely to be-
come subjects of Legislative action, during the
progress of the ensuing session. The general
expectation that by the Biennial provision of
the Constitution, the action of this branch of
the State Government will be compelled to
suffice FOR two years, will add unusual impor-
tance and interest to the proceedings of this
winter,-more especially than all, to the FL
nancial concerns of the State, for the next two
years.
We shall engage efficient and competent re-
porters and secure thorough and ample trans
cripts of the proceedings.
Full attention will also be given to the action
OF Congress and the General Government, and
to Foreign and Domestic Intelligence
We trust our friends throughout the State
will give us their aid in circulating our Session
papers.
