New METHOD OF RAISING FRUIT TREEs-The
Patent Office is in receipt of information from
England, in regard to raising fruit in what are
termed orchard houses, by planting small trees
in pots. The writer says that few old sashes,
some pots and weather boarding is all that is ne
cessary to constitute house for trying the ex-
pertinent Some experiments were made last
year under the management of Mr.. Gordon, in
the rose house in the garden of the Hortcultu-
raj Society, Of London. A variety of young
dwarf fruit trees were placed in pots, from
twelve to fourteen inches in diameter, and as
many as the house would hold were collected in
it.. This house is span rooted, fifty feet long,
has half its sashes sliding down and the other
half fixed. There is an additional ventilation
through the doors, which fall down in the wood
en- slides, but there is no artificial heat. The
success attending this experiment was highly
satisfactory. The fruit was abundant, highly
favored, and of superior quality: with which
are classed strawberries, currants goosberries,
apricots, peaches. nectarines, plums pears, figs,
grapes, &c.-Patea Office Report.

THE SEIZURE OF AN ALLEGED SLAYER AT
New YoRK.-It was stated under our telegraph
ic head that the United States authorities at
New York, on the 18th instant, seized the schoon-
er Falmouth, on suspicion that she had been hit
ted out for slave expedition. 1t appears she
had been watched for several days, and on Mon
lay had been hauled out into the stream, and
proceeded as far as the Narrows, where she was
overtaken by the officers and brought back to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard and lbelled.
The Falmouth is a 'long, low, black u craft,
of $50 tons burden. On her stern is painted
the words 90 Falmouth, Baltimore" and the A
mercan eagle adorns the prov. The vessel was
open under deck from the cabin to stem, and
boards were found to erect, it is supposed, a
slave deck, that would hold, as one of the Off
GERS remarked "about 600 niggers." The
search of the vessel revealed many curious Cir
cumstances On deck was found large medi-
cine chest with castor oil, lint and drugs, evi
IDENTIFY intended for larger company than those
on board the schooner, in which there were
only Is persons. Between decks were over 80
hhds water, large stores of rice, beans, farina
and preserved meats, such as are used by sla-
vers. Large copper pots and pans for BOILING
large messes of food at a time, with ladies' and
spoons to match, and many other questionable
appuftenaDceS. ABOUT tHe uech wis u ""hioe'
of extra spars In the cabin were found charts
of the western coast of Africa, and large guam
tity of bunting to make American flags.
Those on board refused to give the officers
any information, not even the captains or own
er's name The following named persons were
placed under arrest and ordered to be taken to
Kings county Jail. there to await the further ac-
ton of the District Attorney:
Passengers-Jose Lopez, Caspar Marrech,
Joseph Antoine. Seamen-Manuel Fortunate,
Antoine Gomez, Juan Grazzia, Albert Rose, An
tome Jose Manuel Gomez, Emmanuel Jose
Emmanuel Robert, Jose Azardo.
1t is alledged that suspicion points to the Por
tuguese Consul ut New York. as person know
ing something about the vessel.

1.-THE train could not get through on the New

Eaie road to Dunkirk. They lay at Perrysburg
from Monday noon till Friday night where they
could get no beds and very little to eat. There
were 500 passengers and 400 employees who
took in the cars all the rest they could get.
During the time two children and one young
man died. not entirely from cold and starvation,
but fatigue and bad air, and being sick when
they started. One lady who was on board re-
ceived . telegraphic dispatch that she had three
children lying i'll Of scarlet fever in Illinois. 1t
was impossible to describe her agony at the con-
slant detentions and long delays. The cars fire.
qnently ran of the track, and when replaced
the wind would drift the snow upon the track
and render it impossible to proceed. We had
the superintendent upon the train. and fifteen
locomotives to draw us. but there were come
enormous drifts. One Of them was forty feet
