GooD-A very intelligent Irishman tells
the following incident of his first experience
in America 81 came to this country several
years ago, and as soon as hired out to a
gentleman who farmed few acres. He show

where the corn, hay, oats, &C., were kept,
and then sent Inc in to get my supper. After
supper he said to me: Pat you may feed the
cow and give her corn in the ear I went out

REpENTANT CoURTEzANs-The New Y ork
correspondent of the Philadelphia Sunday
Dispatch, furnishes the following intelligence
relative to one well known for years past to
our fast men:
The tidings from Norfolk and Portsmouth
fill us with deep sympathy. So much, and
so general is the feeling prevalent in New
York, that we are getting up Protestant
Association of Sisters of Charity, with a
view of sending them to the seat of affection
to attend on the sick and minister TO their
wants. Some ladies of the first class Of
society here are enrolling themselves in the
noble band, and among them, too, will be
one or two of less reputable notoriety, who
ale disposed to lead new life. and beg to
show their sincerity in this Christian man
ner. III
We can mention one, we suppose, in con-
fidence. Her name it would be idle to re-
peat, she is known by the sobriquet of the
Counties of Blcssington," and has been
famous in her time as voluptuary of the
most fashionable and INSCRIPTIONS charac-
ter. She is the female who deliberately
cowhided one of the Ravels in the streets of
New Orleans. She was cruelty betrayed in
her youth; vowed revenge upon the whole
race of male kind; has cody ruined, they
say, more gentlemen than could easily lie
enumerated and now, in her remorse, pur-
poses to devote herself to heaven as Sister
of Charity. It's an i'll wind that blows
nobody good"

NERMoNT.-The annual message of Gov.
Royce was delivered on the 18th. 1t con-
tains little of general interest. The follow
is what the Governor says in relation to the
great question of the day:
"Nothing has occurred during the last year
to allay our just apprehensions of danger to
most of the vital interests of the Free States
from the determined purpose of part of the
nation to extend the limits and influence of
Slavery. That purpose is understood to
have been manifested in the Territory of
Kansas by course of successful menace and
violence equally defiant of law and the rights
of opponents. A design is also indicated to
break down that great principle of the COM
mon law, heretofore universally admitted and
affirmed, that slave becomes free when he
enters Free State by consent of his master.
The experiment has been tried of purposely
bringing slaves into Free State and there
claiming continued property in them. And
all these events would seem to have passed
with an acquiescence, to say the least. on the
part of national authorities, executive and
judicial, which the true friends of Freedom
can scarcely contemplate with composure.
The time has evidently arrived when all who
would oppose the further Entertainments OF
Slavery should combine their vigorous and
persevering efforts for that purpose"

a NEW FACT IN GRATING.

The better process generally for working
cherries and plums, is to bud or inoculate at
the proper season but it often happens that
It is desirable to work trees too old, or when
the season is 50 dry that the bark will not
slip, and the budding process cannot be per-
formed, in which case grating becomes i'm
portant.
The grating Of the cherry is quite an un-
certain operation, aud never succeeds well,
except when performed early in the spring,
when the scious, which are difficult To keep,
are fresh and in good order, the bark is Sc
liable 10 discolor, and the wood to shriyel

same trouble applies to the plum in les:
degree. individuals not nurserymen, are apt
70 neglect cutting their scions in proper time
and are only sensible Of the oversight when
they observe tile objects they wish TO alter al

The new process to which allude, is a
means whereby scion Of any kind may be
cut from tree after the buds are fully ex.
