New HAMPSHIRE AFFA1Rs.-In the New Hamp-
shire House of Representatives, on Thursday, ad-
dresses were moved for the removal OF George +.
Starkweather, Judge of The Court of Common
Pleas, for the county of Cheshire, and Of Samuel G.
Moulton one of the Common Pleas Judges in SulIi-
van county. An address was moved requesting the
Governor to remove Joshua Atwood of Pelham, from
the Office of Sheriff of Hillsboro' county, he at the
same time occupying seat in the House, contrary to
the provisions of the constitution. These motions
were referred to the delegations OF the respective
counties concerned.
tele5 graphic despatch from Concord to last even
ing's papers alludes to the subject follows:
''An effort is being made 10 remove all the Com
mon Pleas Judges and Sherfs of counties Adj
dresses have been introduced in the House for the
renewal for the public good of all the Democratic
county Sherifs. The legality of this process is ques-
toned--for while the right of removal by address is
applicable judicial and military officers ii is not
so constituionaly provided in the case OF executive
officers In the event of some OF the Shentts beng
removed they determined to attach the property
which may be attached by their successors, chosen as
they deem illegally; and thus the question Of the
power of the legislature in the premises will go to

states that the Hon John Sullivan, the Attorney Cen
eral of the State, is to be the democratic candidate
TO- Governor next year. Ex-Governor Baker will
not accept denomination.

Revolution in Building.

In various partsof Massachusetts, a ma.
terial for the construction of DWELLING
houses, stores, barns, de-, is coming into
use. This new material is called consrete,
and ismade of gravel and lime. Wei
iieve il was Mr.. Fowler, of New York,
who first used the articie in this country
for building purposes. Two or three
buildings OF this material are in process
of erection in this city, and we feel safe
in predicting that ere long no material
will be more generally used than con-
crete. We saw one house at Hopedale
the other day, a beau .iful octagon, the
walls and partitions of which, from eel
lar to roof, cost but one hundred and fif.
ty dollars, labor and stock included. The
material can be shaped into every con-
eeiyable form. Those who desire col
umns, pilasters, cornices, or other archi-
tectural ornaments to their dwellings, can
have them almost without money and
without price; for lime is cheap, and
gravel can be had for nothing. Com.
Portable. convenient, beautiful, and dura.
bic homes may be built of concrete fol
less than one half the cost out of any
other known material. The introduction
of concrete will form new era in the
art of building, and be the means, we
ardentiy hope, Of providing 'shomes for
all. Rhode Island freeman.

extra outlay for good trees is but little

Apples now command as high prices

people are becoming more able to COM

them. The market extends faster than
the orchards, and prices must keep up
while this is the case.
There is no risk now in setting apple
orchards. Only small portion of our
farmers pay any attention to trees, unless
they happen to find them in pastures
where the cows dropped the seed. They
generally prefer to raise grain and hay,
and fat.en pork and beef. Farmers neal
large towns practice in a different way,

Mr.. EDITOR: VIII you be so kind as

the class of people We wish to address.
Designing to emigrate to Kansas nert
spring, wishing to enjoy the privileges Of
the church to which we belong, and be-
Iieving it to bea duty we owe to yourselves
and our children to be within the bounds
and influence of the Gospel, and suppos-
ing that many more of our members viii
emigrate .thither, We would like to form
a colony-take with us one or more min
listers, and establisha church immediate
ly. All that wish to go might suit theni-
selves in neighborhoods close enough to
organize churches, which would be
great deal better than to scatter over the
country and it would take away one of
the principal objections to a new country.
Ii there should be any more ofthe AS
sociate, or Associate Reformed, that wish
to enter into any such plans, we would be
glad if they would inform US either by
mail, or through your paper, and We
would meet at some convenient point and

New Mode of Fencing.

A Vermonter has just devised new
mode of fencing. He procures stakes
five feet in length, and sleeps the lower
portion of them in solution of blue Wit
riol-one pound of vitriol to forty of wa
ter. This renders them almost indestruct-
ible by the natural process of decay
He then drives the stakes into the ground
at distance of eight inches apart, bring.
ing the top into a straight line, and nail.
ing upon them narrow strip of board
using one nail for each stake. This fence
is cheap; cattle and sheep can't gei
through it; horses will not jump it; hog,
will go good distance around it rather
than climb over it, and lazy man cam
sit in the shade of it-Bostoi. Nail.

slaverv I'm Utah.

The editor of the Chicago Press re-
ports conversation with two Mormon
brethren, who recently passed through,
that city on their way 10 New York, for
the purpose of establishing paper there.
The Mormon Elders say:
g As respects slavery in the Territory,
we were assured there was but little of it
there-yet Il is there. Some slaves have
been liberated by their owners since they
were taken to Utah others still remain
slaves. But the most of those who take
slaves there pass over with themin little
while to San Berneding-a Mormon set
clement in California, 700 or 800 miles
from Salt Lake City. How many slaves
are held there, they could not say but
the number, relatively, was by no means
small. A single person had taken be-
tween forty and fifty, and many had gone
In with small numbers. -

Agricultural.
The Best Soil for Fruit Trees.


After almost half century of expe-
rience in raising fruit, We are decidedly
of opinion. as a general rule, that the best
soil on which to raise fruit. is that Just
cleared of a forest. The surface should
be rolling or descending, and moderately
dry and rich. Such ground needs little
orno preparation; the roots of the forest
trees. as they decay, keep the soil loose
and mellow, and afford the exact food ne
cessary for afapid and healthy growth
of the fruit trees; and the soil abounds
plentifuliy in those clements which are
requisite to form the most perfect fruit.
Another consideration, and very impor-
tans one, is. that fruit trees grown on re-
Gently cleared forest land, are much less
diseased than those grown on old land,
and the fruit is not near so liable to be at
tackled by insects,
Any one going froman old settled coun-.
try TO new one, will not fail to observe
the remarkable difference between the
trees and fruit of one and the other. How
much thriftier they are IN the latter than
in the former, and how much larger, fair
er, and more perfect the fruit.
We would advise those contemplating
setting out new orchards, if they have
no. woodland to clear for this purpose, to
set apart as much as they desire for fruit,
aadietit growup with young forest or 9TH
er trees as rapid as possible. Even few
years growth will answer good purpose,
providing they are cut down and allowed
to lie on the land: and when dry. burn
off where they are, and the ashes permit
ted to remain. This is undoub.edly one
Of the best preparations and nlanure-if
we may so use the term-.hat can be OBJ
tained.
Ingrowing peaches, &c., We have found
-otherthings being equal-that new Or
ehards usually do best planted on old or
chard ground, the trees set as near as pos
sible to the decayiug stumps. Previous
toplanting, however, the soil should be
broken up at least two feet deep, if possi-
bic, and ashes and such other fertilizers
added as are necessary to insure good
growth. - 20 80 9 -
Granite soils are among the best for
fruit, as this rock abouads in feldspar
and mica, both of which contain potash
--heldspar more than mica. AS these
rocks disintegrate and enter into compo.
sition of the soil, they supply one of the
most necessary elements forthe formation
of good trees and fruit. We wiIlaIso add
thai some of the best orchards which VIC
have seen, were all allusial (loamy J soils,
