vigor of trees for a season to transplant
them, it is plain that the best season of the
year for transplanting must be that time
which they will have the least to contend
with; this time, all will admit, is the
spring. Tender trees generally do better
when set in the spring, and although har-
dy tree may live and grow if set in the fall,
still, will it not do better in the same ratio
as tender ones, if set in the spring?

has been planted several years in succession
with corn, I manured it with fish, sink
drains, &c., which kept it in excellent con-
ditiou, After it had been planted year
or two, the spindle worms made their ap-
pearance among it and almost ruined my
crop, Notwithstanding used every effort in
my power to destroy them. On harvesting
what little crop was left me. removed all
the old roots and litter from off the lot and
committed them to the flames, having been
informed that by so doing it would effectu-
ally eradicate them, as they bred in old
stocks, roots, &c. The next year planted
it again, with high expectations of full
crop. believing had freed the soil of the
pesky things; but I soon found, to my sor-
row, that they had commenced their de-

AN ECCENTRIC WILL.-Mr. Rafting, of
New Hampshire, England, was among the
victims of the late railroad accident between
Brighton and London. His heirs, after
paying him the customary funeral honors,
did what all heirs DO in similar cases, open
ed the will of the deceased, to ascertain
what share each one was to have in his
posthumous liberalities As he had never
given penny to either of bis relatives dur
ing his lifetime, they expected to be the
richer, now thathe was no more. One may
imagine the surprise caused by the first
line Of the will.
"This is my testament. I give and be-
queath all my goods, present or future,
movable or immovable, in England or on
the continent, to that railroad company on
whose road l have had the happiness to
meet death, that blessed dcliverance from
this terrestrial prison."
Further on, the testator gives his rea-
sons for his bequest. The idea had taken
firm possession of his mind that he was
destined to die violent death, and the
most desirable one in bis view was that
caused by the explosion of a locomotive
He travelled, therefore, constantly on the
railroad in England, Belgium and France
There was not station where he was moi
known. All the conductors we're familiar
with his peculiar costume. He had mar.
rowly escaped death several times. Once
he was shut up in car under water; an
other time he was in the next car to the
one that was shattered, aud he described
with the greatest enthusiasm those terrible
accidents, when he saw death 40 near with
out being able to obtain it. Disappointed
in Europe, he went to the United States
lie made frequent excursions on the Ohio
the Mississippi, the Ontario, the Niagara
but Notwithstanding their frequent explo
sions, he returned with whole skin. HI
was destined to be crushed by a ear of tn,

It is said that the relatives will attemp
to break the will, on the ground of insani
