HOrer and other Tree Vermin

Mr. EDITOR Mr.. kindle and myself
have been examining our fruit trees and find
that some of them is in dangerous con
dition; supposi"g that the trees of other
farmers may also be in danger from the
same cause, hasten to give you and your
readers notice, inclosing also several speci-
mems Of the worms and insects causing the
mischief. These worms are around the
bottom of trees; they work under the bark,
concealed and trees may be destroyed by
them without their work being noticed. -
The bark is hollow where they work and
by striking on the tree with the handle of
a knife and examining for little holes where
they h ave entered. may be found out and
destroyed This is the time of year to
look for them. There are two Or three
kinds of these worns-sone white, others
green. My father lately saw Mr.. Kill
bourn's orchard and found or / 2 Of his
trees dead from the same cause.
JOHN N. EAYREs.
July Goth, 1857.
REMARKS thank Mr.. Eayres for
once more calling our attention to this
matter; we have written and published
all the information about these new tree
destroyers that we could find, and hope TO
give further information with the aid of
fruit growers. Mr.. Eayres, we infer, has
Just found out that such worms exist, and
he seems yet not to know the name and
nature of them. They are Borers, and,
though OF different sizes, appearances and
colors, are of the same family or kind
They are and have been for two years at
work in most orchards all over the country,
and moss Of the dead apple trees, alleged
to be destroyed by 0juter killing, have
been killed by the Borer. There is no
mistake about it. A gentleman near Lam
caster told us some time since that half of
his orchard was winter killed, but upon our
suggestion, he examined and found that
every defunct tree bore the evidences that
the Borer was the cause. He says he will
he able to save the balance of his orchard
by the knowledge received in time. We
know of no other way to protect trees from
Borers but the knife. Nurserymer say
the egg Of the Borer is laid in May or
June, matches in July when it begins to
work into the tree, continuing till fall and,
IL is said, survives in the tree to bore the
following spring.
Our farming friends will do The public a
favor by furnishing for, the Herald an ac-
count of their experience and observations
upon the Borer, nature thereof, method of
defence, how to externinate, &c. 1t is a
new enemy and we think it belongs to one
of the ehrysalis family, 81 if so it will
probably pass into a butterfly and soon
close its labors forever.

The minority party of the Constitution
Ial Convention Of Minnesota, calling them
|selves democrats, under the leadership OF
Governor Sam Medary who was sent there
to govern for a while and then be U. s.
Senator when Minnesota becomes State,
are holding a separate Convention. by
misunderstanding "A members to the 90
Republican members. Not composing a
quorum they can do nothing unless they
are sustained BY the general government.
1t is indeed second edition Of the Kan
,as affair. If they can frame Constitu-
ton, submit the same if at all to vote OF
those who elected them, and get the Cen
eral Government to indorse them as the
only law abiding, healthy and constitution
serving part of the people Of Minnesota,
they will come into the Union as a State
IF in their new Constitution they can ex-
clude the Foreigners from voting, nine
tenths of whom are said to be republicans,
as has been done in Kansas, then there
will be some show for democratic u. S.
Senator Governor and Congressman
otherwise, they will avoid becoming a
State and retain their territorial rule. The
democratic leaders everywhere oppose a
democratic form Of government and have
resolved to break down popular govern
bment BY engaging in revolution and rebel
lion wherever they can when out-voted at
the ballot-box They are doing it this
moment in New York city, in Kansas and
Minnesota. Having the power at Wash
'ington they intend to keep it at all haz-
yards, no difference by what means. No
doubt their present purpose is to keep Kan
sas and Minnesota, both largely Republi-
can, out of the Union until two or more
negro States are ready to come in along
side of then-negro and white, the more
negro the better; amalgamation of races
"a mixture of whites and blacks is the
doctrine of the Constitution All who
dissent are not entitled to sufrage-are

SUGAR AND TEA-The sugar monopoly
is falling by the weight of heavy supplies
which the monopolists are unable to buy
up. They will soon let loose, as though
all the quack pills in America had been
given to the sugar plantations; the country
will be sugated all over The next mo-
nopoly will doubtless be on tea. Eastern
papers, which are the willing tools of mo-
nopolists, are already pretending that Chi
ma is refusing to let down and that much
of the drug is or will be poisoned; that
the war is interfering with tea products and
that certain old women are doubling THEN
doses Of the drug. Country merchants
are made the tools OF the new tea monop-

We are now at midsummer, or Ms business
men say, the dull season, when country
people are too busy to 60 from home and
are boarding up every dollar to pay har-

the deserted streets and stores as otnihous
of hard times; sensible men are pleased to
see farmers at home in their fields; indus
trious business men are out through the
country, seeing what is going on; habitual
grunbIers can see nothing right-think the
world is coming to an end, or ought to,
Just to disappoiht everybody aud give them

weather gives them the belly ache; doc

people survive in this blood hot weather
without cooling off their passions according

HARD ON THE REGULAR DEMOCRACY
David w. Page, K. N. Candidate for
the Legislature down in Kentucky, has
published circular, from which the follow
ing is extracted
~ am in favor of the passage of a law
hanging woman who gives birth to n,u-
latto child after the let Of March, 1858.
| am in favor of law that will peniten-
tiary every person caught in adultery, or
acknowledge that they are guilty Of ANAL
gamation with negroes-Alny object be-
ing the correction Of the morals Of our cit
liens"
As there are between half million and
million of mulattoes in the South, the
clear product of amalgamation, this would
be hard law as it would hang or peni-
Tertiary about third Of all the southern
white men and as many or more of the
slaves Better to pass an enabling law,
giving negro women a right to protect
themselves against the brutal passions Of
white scallawags. In the north there is
seldom case of amalgamation, for causes
precisely opposite to those producing uni
versal amalgamation in tire Slave States.
In the north public opinion everywhere,
among anti-slayery men, is as
strong as the eternal DEGREES against ANAL
gamation-in the south there is no public
opinion and no law against it. There
ought to be universal law to prevent a.
malgamatiou between the pro-slavery de-
mocracy and the negroes. Such a law
would be Of no use to anti-slavery men fof
they never amalgamate, nor even keep
negroes about them. We are in favor of
such law.

Rates Of Legal Advertising IN
this state

Al the recent Editorial Convention 10
this State, the committee appointed to
prepare resolutions, expressive of the sense
of the convection, in regard to the rates OF
legal advertising, and the publication OF
the general laws of each session Of theLeg-
islature in all the papers of the State, and
to memorialize the next Legislature upon
the subjects, reported as follows, which was
adopted -
WHEREAS, The rates for legal advertising,
| az fixed by law, are lower in this State than
| in manv other States of the Union,and where
as. there has been large increase, not only
in the price of food and all the necessar,es OF
life, but in paper and other materials used IN
printing offices, as well as IN the wages OF
compositers, since these rates were establish :
led,
Rssolped. That there shuold be some cor
responding increase in the rates OF advertising
and lob work, and to contribute 10 this end,
it is in the opinion of this Convention, the du-
|ty OF this Legislature to pass an act increasing
the rates of legal advertising and county print
ing as follows: ).
i. For all legal advertisements cents
per folio, for the first insertion, and 37i cents
for each subsequent inser ton.
q For advertising Treasifer's list Of
delinquent taxes, 10 cents for each deserip-
ton.
8. For advertising the list of the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors, 80 cents for each
description.
Resolued, Further that all general laws,pa
sed b Y the Legislature, should be published
and laid before the people as generally as is
possible, Immediately after the close OF the
session, during the which they were enacted,
and that teh cheapest aud most etfectua| mode
of accomplishing this end. would be by the
passage of an act providing for the pubIica-
lion of all such laws in every newspaper pub
tished in the State, at cost to the State of
not more than fifty dollars to each newspaper
for such publication.
