FRuIr AND ORNAMENTAL TREEs.-The sea-
son is advancing so rapidly that there will be
but few days for setting out trees. and we would
advise all who purpose to improve their estates,
either with ornamental or fruit trees, to be up
and doing. S. H. Cotton, at his extensive nur-
series on Southbridge street, has at the present
time large and varied assortment of fruit and
ornamental trees, which he is selling at low
rates. His assortment of apple and pear trees is
very large, and there is scarcely any variety that
he cannot furnish-an1 at lower rates than such
trees have usually been sold in this country.

BOSTON THEATRE-A MIDSUMMER N1eHT's
DREAM.-The excursion train to Boston over the
Boston and Worcester Railroad, for the purpose
Oh giving our citizens an opportunity to witness
the performance at the Boston Theatre, Shak-
speare's comedy, of "a Midsummer Nights
dream" will leave the Depot in Worcester this
afternoon at five O'Clock precisely.
The Midsummer Nights Dream as all who are
familiar with the comedy will admit. is one of
the most amusing and entertaining plays in the
English, or in fact in any language. Humor,
song and pathos are all happily blended, and the
mere perusal of the play will laugh away the
most desperate tit of the blues. 1t be readily
imagined, therefore, how great must be the
amusement afforded when we have Nick Bottom,
Flute, and Ounce exhibited true to the life, and
when the audience witness the very Wall that
parted the lovers, and the savage Lion who
frightened the delicate Thisbee, and the identical
Moon who gave them light while they roared the
accents OF love. And then Puck the frolcking,
good natured, telegraphic Puck, the errand boy
of oberon, is most faithfully represented by
Mrs. John Woods whose acting and singing adds
to her already enviable reputation.
Hioin present appearance, we Judge there-wllI
be rush for the cars this afternoon, and as an
opportunity of enjoying such an intellectual treat
as is here offered very seldom occurs, we shall
expect to see full train.
The arrangements such as will enable the
whole party to return to orcester as soon as
the play is ended. A few tickets ensuring ride
to and from Boston, and a reserved seat at the
theatre may be had of John Boyden, at his Office
in Lincoln House Block

OARS were first cultivated by the colc nists
of Massachusetts Bay in 1929; and, in the
number of acres sown, they now rank next
to corn and wheat The yield in the United
States, in 1850, was l405S4, l79 bushels. 1t
is estimated that last year 40, 900, 900 bushels
were raised, which is more than that of wheat.
Oats will grow almost any where, but prefer
rich, nucky loan, and on such have been
known to produce l25 bushels per acre. They
give good returns on poor soil, but no crop
pays better for manure and good culture. -
Prof Mapes says that in his neighborhood the
largest crops that have been raised in the last
five years have been from the use of phos-
pilates. He thinks that carrot seed should be
put in with oats, as the latter are removed,
from the field about the first of Augustine
time when the roots OF tue carrot begin to
grow. The oats keep the carrots free from
weeds.
