An agricultural writer makes use Of the fol.
lowing language in respect to the relative ad-
vantages Of transplanting large and small fruit
trees ,'H i, a @
We have had some experience in transplant
ing both kinds taken from the nurseries. There
is no more risk in removing pear or apple tree,
four or five years from the bud, than one year
from it. ,,r....,..t.- ..i..
We are persuaded that we have lost three
years, by setting small trees, when we might
have set large. The large apple trees from
Dyer's nursery, that we put out two years ago,
have made as much wood as smaller ones-
Some Of them have bossomed, and the apples
set both years, and as they are full of fruit buds
we look for sample Of their fruit next season
1t may not be generally known that large
sized apple trees, say two or three inches thro'
at the butt, cost no more than a much smaller
size. Nurserymen, if they have large stock
OH hand, have no other resource than to cut and
burn them as they grow beyond the proper size
for transpanting, so that they are glad to dis
pose of them at that price. rH .pof s.l
Large pear trees, especially those upon
ounce, are most expensive. We have purchas.
ed some, nine years old this fall, at two dollars
each and consider it much bettereconomy than
to pay 80 cents for trees, two years from the
bud They are safely moved and will soon bear
abundantly.
If any of our readers are about to set an ap-
pie orchard, we are confident they will find it
for their interest to order large trees.
Let them dig large holes, put 10 compost free.
ly, and they will soon have fruit n abundance.

The parting scene in the u. s. Senate on
Sunday noonis described BY correspondent of
the N. Y. Herald as touching in theextreme, and
many an eye was glassed over with emotion in
making the farewell. Gen. Shields was the OBJ
ject of marked attention and his manly hand re-
cpived the farewell grasp with warmth that
showed sincerity from all bis late associates,
even the pages and clerks claimed their right to
good bye, and the black runner boy Of the
Senate, left the chamber with tears freely run

hoped that he will make an effort to pre-
serve his equanimity, for il he should become

havoc he might make. For about six years
that neighborhood has enjoyed the benefit
of the location of the Post Office, and those
in the East part Of the town, have been
compelled to put up with the inconvenience,
and now, "turn about till 1885" is but
fair play. Besides, I cannot behye that the
population of that part Of the city is so much
greater, or their intrests so much more i'm
portant than that Of any other part as to
give them any right to demand that that in-
stitution shall be located there.
But, really, now, can't the proprietors oi

the Democrat Building" wait till after the
4th Of March, 1857, before they exact the
re-establishment of the Post office in their
vicinity! Upon candid reconsideration o.

MYSTERIOUS Mr.. Cozzens, who re-
sides in the southern part Of Campbell Coun-
ty, KY, as we are informed by neighbor
ofhis, concluded last Thursdy to fall large
elm :ree that stood in his pasture field, in
consequnce of symptoms of decay, fearing it
might fall during some storm, to the injury
of some valuable cattle. About twenty
feet from the ground, there has been an ope-
ming in the trunk for many years, which has
been increasing quite rapidly of late. A
German farmland in the employ of Mr..
Cozzen, was set at work to chop it down.
He had not been at work more than half
an hour when he came running to the house
pale with fright, declaring there was a dead
man in the tree. Upon examination, the
sekleton Of woman, Of medium size, with
but little OF dried flesh adhering, was found
and taken out. The body must have been
forced into the hole in the trunk long time
since, and naked at the time, for not q
single remnant of any portion Of clothing
could be found. None Of the neighbors
remember of any one having been missed OF
mysteriously disappeared from that local
ty. This discovery has created very great
sensation in that part Of Campbell County.
