PEACH TREES AND TANsY.-A writer in
the New York Times recommends the SOW
ing of Tansy about the roots of peach trees,
as means Of preserving them. lie says
that he once knew large peach tree which
was more than forty years old while several
generations of similar trees in the same soil,
had passed away. This led to an examna-
tion and bed Of tansy was discovered about
the trunk. 1t was naturally inferred that
the preservation of this tree TO such green
old sge was attributed to the presence of
this plant. 1t was decided to try expert
ments on others, and accordingly few of
the roots were placed about each Of the
other trees on the premises, some Of which
gave signs of decay. Not only has it pre-
served for several years the sound trees. but
renovated those that were unsound. The odor
of the plant, he says, doubtless keeps OF the
insect enemies of this kind of tree, and it
might have the same effect on others, as the
plum, apple and pear, as we'll as the elm,
sycamore, and othe ornamental trees.

on Wednesday last, L. S. Wech chosen Pres
ident, and E. Cushing Secretary and Treasurer.
This company have lately made an addition to
their road by building piece of turnpike across
the chaparral hill at the southern te1mini of their
old road. This is deservedly a popular road and
we understand the company are receiving good
share of patronage.

ADJOURNMENT AGAIN. The sweet-scented Legs-
Iature now assembled in Sacramento, on Monday
last extended the period for adjournment to Mon
day next, instead of responding to the unanimous
wish of the people, to go home cut of the State
altogether. Immediately thereafter, a resolution
was adopted, calling on the State Treasurer for a
categorical answer about the amount of money, if
any, in his hands. Meantime, SouthwicE & Co.'s
Rattle caved in Many members having lost
moneyby betting on horse races and playing poker.
besides their investments in the rattle aforesaid,
could, no doubt, in imagination plainly see the
visages of hungry and angry creditors, looking
them full IN the face. So, to extricate themselves
from the fearful condition they were in, they con-
cluded to prolong the day of grace another week,
and go industriously to work hunting for the
thousand dollars: hence the significant call upon
the State Treasurer.
Well, let the horse-racng, hypocritically-pious
thousand-dollar Legislature wriggle--the Governor
will unsnarl their doings now and the people give
them commission by-and-by, to stay at home the
