citizens Of lsrcenies Of harness, axes, and
other articles usually left in stables, wood
houses dc The perpetrators are seldom de-
tected, and when caught escape punishment
through the leniencc Of those they have
robbed II is now more necessary than ever
that owners Of property should make their
stables and woOdsheds safe The same in
ducements are not offered at this time to arrest
offenders that were offered a year ago, and
citizens should be careful that their property
is secure from the inroads of petty thieves

CHEsTSUrs The Norfolk Argus states that
in the seaboard counties the chestnuts are
ripening and opening fast Many of the trees
are very full, and the boys and girls, SPUR
rels and darkies, have already commenced to
gather them. The trees grow to a very large
size. A gentleman recently obtained 500
fence rails from q single tree The wood will
not answer for fuel on account of the constant
Swapping, cracking and sparkling while burn
ing. The fences made Of chestnut rails are
very valuable, as they do not decay for near
ly half a century. Cutting down the trees
greatly increases the growth, as from to or
will spring up and grow rapidly from the
roots Of the parent tree. This tree does not
grow in the vicinity Of Norfolk; but thrives
finely IN the upper counties of Virginia, and
IN many parts Of Maryland and Pennsyl y ania
In the mountainous districts of North Caro-
lima, also, 10 may be found fourishing.
Judging from the appearance of the tree. in
the vicinity of Washington and from the large
quantities IN sale in the city markets, the
chestnut crop in this part Of the county is an
abundant one this year.

England is menaced with a with the United States

States in Central America, il did with that Of Russia in

which armies and Congresses have been put in notion
at all in the situation 1t is impossible TO establish the
equilibrium in Europe when Of the Powers thereof Is
