BARREN GRAPE VINES.

/ have a grape vine of a productive
kind, taken from productive vine, and
grows with other vines that produce well
annually, which blossoms full every year,
and yet has never born grape-and also
those taken from this by layers are like
it. Can any of the readers of your valu-
able paper tell me the reason, or give a
remedy? H. W. SHELDON.
Middlebury, Vt.
REMARKs.-We are inclined to believe
that mulching trees close to the stems is
an invitation to the borer; that is, other
things being equal, he will take the
mulched tree in preference. In mulching
1t not necessary to place the material near
the stem-it is better to place it over the
tender roots farther off. Then in the
winter this mulching invites mice, and
must be removed.
The grape vine spoken of is undoubt-
edly what is called male vine. They
are not uneommon-blossoming, giving
out delightful fragrance, and setting the
fruit but never perfecting it.

EXTRACTS AND REPLIES.

BRAKES AND "LIVEFoREYER.
Please communicate through the Far
nser the best method of killing brakes on
land too wet and stony to plow; and also
how to destroy iveforever. R. E. D.
Chittenden, Vt.
REMARKs.-We know of no other
method of destroying brakes than that OF
cutting them in August two or three times
and grubbing with the hoe; after this is
done fine manure spread on with some
grass seed will be well,-for if the grass
seed should start, and the brakes were
kept down for while, the grass might
eventually get the upper hand and clothe
your land with grass instead of brakes.
That which is destined to olive forever"
we cacnot kill, but the attempt may be
made on the plant which you call livefor
ever, the same as on the brakes. The first
and essential thing to be done, in such a
case as you describe, is thorough draining
that will accomplish more towards the
destruction of the offensive plants than all
cutting and grubbing. Drain it.
APPLE TREE BoRER.
Mr.. BROWN viii mulching apple
trees increase the working of the borers
in them? / had number of small trees
in my garden, around which put some
straw, last spring to the depth of about
inches on taking them up this spring,
found but very few that did not contain
borers, and many were entirely destroyed
having the whole centre taken out, andi
is very difficult to find them without tax
ing the tree up by its roots. Perhaps
you, or some of your correspondents, car
tell me of SEINE remedy that viii keel
them out.

THE BIBLE SOCIETY of the State of Illinois
have issued their regular monthly appeal,
aud we publish it below: s-..
Although Illinois is now
the third State in the Union so far as the
Bible Cause is concerned, and although the
remittances TO the American Bible Society
of this State during the past year nearly
equal the remittances from the six surround
ing States, yet the business Of the 800 or
900 Bible Societies in Illinois only amounts
to about $4,000 annually, sum just about
equal to the business of a single grocery
store in Kane county
So it goes. Men will spend cheerfully and
literally for the qualification of their own
wants, while they give reluctantly and spar
ingly for the benefit of their suffering fellow
men. More has been expended in single
year for luxury and aggrandizement, than
has been contributed for the circulation OF
the Bible since it was written. ct
Oh, ,Benevoence-thou angel virtue-thou
child Of Heaven-c0me back again to earth,
as thou didst once in the person of Jesus
Christ, and resume thy place in the hearts
of men, from which seltishncss has almost
excluded thee. 9hj .isi ass A. l..

SLANDER-The Pittsburgh Gazette is re-
sponsible for the following narration of facts,
out of which a suit for SANDER has arisen
A respectable young lady of that city went
to dry goods store with the amable inten-
ton of purchasing corset. She was per-
mitied to take three of the articles home TO
try on. Finding that none fitted, she sent
them back bv a younger sister, and set out
herself to take the Western train. While
waiting in crowded omnibus at the hotel,
she was addressed in an insulting tone by
the shopkeeper, who said he must have
those corsets he as up to such tricks she
could not steal things from him, &c. The
Young lady burst into tears, and said she
had sent them back but the man was not
satisfied till he was paid the full price by
her gentleman attendant When the store
keeper returned, he found the younger SIS
ter with the corsets; who, however, took
them home, on his saying they were paid
for. He afterwards refunded the money

the sacrilegious hands of Cassius NJ. Clay
or an Ichabod Codding ever touch its grace
full folds. Place it in an upright and proper
! position,-whcre only, the patriotic and tru,
/ seoud place il. There let it remain unsul
| lied. And let every democrat as he passes
/ by, gaze on that glorious banner, and enew
his oath of fealty TO the Constitution and
! the Union!
Mr. Reddick, President, replied on behalf
of the Club. lie said the democracy OF
Ottawa accepted with gratitude this splendid
gift, the presentation of which had been ac.
companied with such noble sentiments. l,
was under this flag that our forefathers had
fought at Bunker Hill, and Lexington, and
it was this flag they had borne in triumph
through all the bloody scenes of the rcvola.
ton. 1t was national flag, and thus en-
blematic OF our principles-it bore on its
ample folds all the stars and stripes--a star
for every state-and not, like some Of the
Fremont fusion flags recently displayed
stars but for half the states Of the Union.
Under this flag our forefathers had conquer
ed--the democracy had ever borne it aloft
in triumph, and by this sign the democracy
would again triumph in November
The flag was received with three dcafcn-
ing cheers. Three more were given for Mr.
Cushman, and three more for buchanan and
Breckinridge.
Mr.. Jones was next called out, and made
a good oii-hand argumentatiye speech. lie
showed up, III q strong light, the inconsist-
cncy of the fusionists in charging all the
outrages in Kansas upon the democracy,
tracing the origin of these outragcs to the
the action of the abolitionists themselves.
and showing that now. when the democracy
propose remedy which all admit would be
efficient, the fusionists dare not, by their
votes IN congress, allow it to be applied, for
fear il will rob them of all their thunder.
Mr.. Delano was loudly called for, and
made some humorous remarks illustrated
with an anecdOte or two that elected much
laughter and applause.
The committee appointed at the previous
meeting, reported a constitution for the club,
which was read, and with some slight amend.
mcnt adopted.
The committee appointed at a previous
meeting to procure signers to call for the
first meeting of the club, was rcappointed
to procure signcrs to the constitution.
The club then adjourned to next Friday
evening.

AT SEA-Is SPEEcn-The anecdote OF
the man who, attempting to quote some
learned author, forgot his narne," and also
what he said,' reminds us, by faint sug-
gestion, of the case of Judge NJ, of Yer
mont, who broke down from failnre o!
memory, or rather, perhaps, of Imagination,
in making an address to the jury. The
judge-at that time a practicing attorney,
and advocate of some reputation-was
making an earnest appeal to the jury when
growing impassioned as he went on, he
launched out into strain of fcrvid and We
hemcnt defamation. Happening to make
use of a nautical phrase, the orator was na-
turally tempted TO follow up the figure, and,
by consequence, soon found himself ahoat,
sailing before a stiff breeze, at not less than
twelve knots an hour. Suddenly he came
to dead silence in the middle of a sentence.
He tried in vain to finish it. Not a word
would come to the rescue. Everybody saw
his embarrassment the court and jury
smiled; the lawyers langhcd-when the or
ator, beginning anew, concluded his speech
as follows:
Gentlemen-I am dead-becalmed-on
let me get ashore this time, and hang me if
you ever catch me at Sea again as long as |
live !"-Boston Post

thOrities have turned the lawless, fighting

peace is not what is wanted The Kansas
troubles are too good for cectioneering rur-
poses TO allow peace and quiet TO reign, and
hence an attempt to create disorder and out
rage again. The majority in the house of
congress are cndeavoring to assist this state
Of affairs They have passed an amendment
to the army bill, declaring that the prcsi-
dent shall not use any of the military in en-
forcing the laws Of the present territorial
government. This is equivalent 10 saying
that th ere shall be 10 law at all and out
RACES may take place with impunity. This
alnendmedt vii! not pass the senate, but the
attempt to control the President III his Con
stituionai duty shows that there are those
who would rather have the murders and
burnings in Kansas which they have SO in
dustriously paradeG before the public, con
tnue little while longer, till after the Pres
idential election, so that they may political
~ trade upon them. The President under
stand, his duty, and seems determined TO
perform it faithfully and impartially. Hence
he will not Withdraw the military till con-
gress passes a law providing for all election
by the people OF Kansas TO decide whether
they shall come into the Union or not The
presence Of the military is necessary in Kan
sas till that election is over, to guard against
incursions from surrounding states on the
election day, with view to intimidate vo-
tiers, or TO ill ballot.boXes with illegal votes.
The absence of force sufficient to prevent
such outrages mas been the cause of bitter
reviings OF the President. Now that it is
present and likely to prevent any interfer
ence with the legal residents of the state
and the fair expression OF the opinion, the
same persons who so loudly complained are
trying to get 1t removed.
