Exciting Scene in a Court.

In tie course Of the trisl Dalton divorse

like attempt of the talented counsel TO obtain

Of her neighDor in agony OF grief, and it

A Great Snow Stor Il.

The Rochester Democrat of the 2lst gives
particulars the storm OF the 18th and Goth
thereabouts. The snow commenced falling
Sunday morning the 18th inst, and contin-
ued up to Tuesday morning, the 2lst at 10
O'Clock. Although during Sunday and Mon
day night much of snow melted as it fell
there was foot in depth on Monday night
at 10 O'Clock. The weight of the snow was
very great and very disastr Gus TO roofs, trees
awnings and telegraph poles. On Tuesd,y
morning a: O'Clock the wire suspension
bridge across the GeDesee River, at the
lower falls, gave way under the weight and
is a wreck. The towers at one end were
thrown into the river those at the other end
crushed into mass. !,The pressure on the
bridge was estimted at so tons. The bridge
cost some $500. The Democr at saws:
Great destruction of fruit trees resulted from
this fall of snow. The masses cliuging I,
and accommodating upon the branches, have
broken down hundreds of fine peach, plumb
cherry and ornamental tress. In many in.
stances, where the body of the tree has been
spared, large branches are broken off,
There has been serious loss to nursery
men and others from this cause.

A Valuable Vegetable-the Cauli,

We recolect seeing some time in last
October, one of the finest pieces OF cdu-
flower We ever saw. 1t was in The garden

At this rate bed of IC0 would be worth
S25. which would occupy only at The very

rods of ground.
That such caulifowers as these, averaging
when quite close in the head. the size OF

there is no garden but that ifrightly manag-

Good and Bad Hedging.

The most perfect hedge plant can never
make good he'd ge, with bad management
We are tolo that ninetenths Of all the wes-
tern hedges have failed from this very cause.
And SO it will always be so long as men
commi. the supreme blunder of expecting
trees to grow well without care and culture,
while all farm crops need both; and that a
hedge will become thick and stiff without
ever cutting back. c. L. Overman, a skill
ful Illinois nurseryman, after speaking oi
the dragged and uneven rows OF fishing poles,
thickly studded with pin hooks, piercing the
air at irregular intervals, and a5ounding
with numerous openings for the convenient
ineress and egreas of stock,' which charac-
ierize such neg glqcted hedges, gives the iol-
lowing account in the Praire Farmer, of the
successful hedges of Professor Turner
"On visiting, with others, the premises OF
Prot. ]. 3. Turner, we were delighted with
all we saw. whether of plants, shrubs and
trees in his grounds, his Durham COWS and
pure Chirtagongs, or his improved ice-houser
and labor-saving implements, invented and
perfected BY himself. BIT the objects that
most interested Us were the hedges that
surround and sub divide his grounds--pre.
scribirg as they do, a mos; pleasing picture,
even in the winter, but bidding defiance to
every interloper, whether in the shape oil
man or beast The one on the road side
having as he informed us successfully
withstood the repeated and furious attacks
of Mr.. Strawn's widest Missouri Steers
On the other hand, before his hedges grew
up, the boys MADE themselves so "fresh''
tha, scarcely any fruit in mis- grounds was
permitted to remain en- the stem TIL il was
hall grown But now, such is the potency
Of these msgic lines that het berry, not
other fruit, however tempting, but has pri-
vi,ege $50 Ear as the bipeds are concerned
OF maturing its delicious juices unm1lested
In short, sach are his hedges, thai ifany one
is s;ill skePtical in regard 10 the utility and
practscability OF hedging, he should visit and
inspect them, in order to become thorough ly
ard suddenly convinced OF the error of his
judgment"

Important Move, The Dred Scott
Case.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Democracy Of this county. was held at Rice
vile, on Monday, March 30th, for the pur
pose of endorseing the recent decision of the
Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case. Col.
Kamer, of Irwin township, presided. Sew
eral eloquent speeches were delivered by
Judge Coo ley, DIR. Weymar, and Mr.. 7. III.
Parsons. The following resolutions were Of
fered by Jas. F. Wood, and unaDimo usly
adopted:
Resolved, That the Democratic party has
always sustained the Constitution of tn e
United States, as interpreted by the Fedora
judiciary.
Res5ired, That our confidence in the
learning, integrity. and patriotism OF the
Supreme Court Of the United States, is firm,
mistaken and unbeunded, and that their re-
cent decision of the Dted Scott ease, is en-
tilted 10 the app rotation and support o: all
who uphold the Union and the CCns'itu-
ton.
RESOLVED, That the Black Republican par
ty, by its malignant abuse OF the venerable
members of :he court, ha S shown that its
real aim and object is to subvert and destroy
the very foundations of this glorious Repub-
lie.
Col. Holland offered the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, ThGt the Slate Legislature Je re-
quesie! to inquire into the erpediency Of iigui-
dating tie debt Of the State by The sale Of all
persons Of color Row residing in Pennsylua-
MA.
Col H., in supporting thisresolution, said
tina: although this proposition might at hrst
seem TO be a startling one, yet little refec
ton would convince every thinking man
that the plan was not only perfect in accord
ance rith The decision Of the U. S Supreme
Court, but was also perfectly feasible. He
spoke at considerable length, developing the
details of the proposed plan. H is remarks
were listened to W ith proud attention, and
at their conclusion the meeting adjourned
until the 9th instant, when final action
will be taken on the resolution. We ab-
stain, for the present, from any remarks on
this new move on the political chess board

toes at the bottom of the furrow, with the
manure on top, and cOver the same as though
the seed was above the manure. plow

planning the potato below the mannre saves
me from the rot, only that have never had
the rot, when my neigebors have. I think

the practice now, and the rot was not known
