DIE

At the residence Of her brother, James W. Cham.
bers, Tuaatn Plains, Oregon Territory on Dec. l3th
1856 Miss LETIrIA ANN CHAMBERS, daughter Of Judge
T. NJ. Chambers Of Pierce county W. T., aged 10
years months and days.
The deceased left her home in the house Of her
brother A. J. Chambers Of Thurton county, W. T., in
Jan. 1856 and commenced attending school at Tuaa.
tin Academy, Forest Grove, 0. T., where through
close application and study she acquired the disease
Of consumption with which sue died after three
months illness.
She possessed in an eminent degree ali the amiabi
tiles Of her sex, aud the regret spoken by every p
testifes the void she has left in this community In
the circle of her relations and friends her loss will long
be amented and deplored. To her relations she was
particularly dear by Of her pure and ardent af
fectlon, and by her amenity Of manners she had en-
deared herself to all who knew her.
In the midst Of the gloom thus cast upon her rela
tives and friends it is consOlng thought to reflect
that from her pure and exemplary life, we cannot
but indulge the fond hope that the spirit Of the fail
one has fed from this world to the bright mansions
bliss.
Then ye surviving friends weep not her loss, but
bow with submissive will TO the sad fat, and
10 hope look beyond the bounds OF time
Where what we now deplore,
Shall rise in full immortal prime,
And bloom TO fade no more
This short tribute is offered by one who WAS not n
stranger to her virtues and who while he urges per
haps in vain voice Of consolation, drops a tear Of
sympathy and regret over departed worth, Ond signs
"Adieu fair one, a long last adieu,
Thy virtues many, and thy faults but few"

The ROYAL FAlnLY.-There was q short
discussion on recent announcement in the
Court Journal, TO the effect that next Sea.
son will probably witness change in the
domestic economy Of the Royal family,
owing to the marriage ofthe Princess Royal
not yet sixteen years Of agel, and the
Prince Of Wales "a boy under iifteen) TAX
ing possession of Marlborough House as
his future residence 1t is stated that her
Royal Highness is without an dpandge
suited to her position, and that such state
Of things has only been permitted in order
that one application to parliment may
suffice for an Outft for the marriage, and a
permanent provision beftting her high
rank" As to the Prince of Wales, it is
stated that independent of all other con-
siderations it was felt that when Prince
Alfred (then boy under twelve years Of
age) was removed to the Royal Lodge in
Windsor Park, it was hardly possible to
keep his elder brother much longer within
the domnions Of the royal nursery. Not
that it is intended to surround the Prince
Of Wales with anything like q court; he
will still be considered as student, and
his household will be domestic one, at my
rat for some two or three years to come"
AS to the marriage, it appears shockingly
premature; but whenever it takes place, the
Royal parents should provide the dowry.
As to the Prince of Wales, it is to be
hoped that parliament, before making any
provision for him, will insist on knowing
fl.oN hae hoonroo &c h. &c h.
Duchy Of Cornwall, which belonged to him
Taking them at 94O, 900 per annum, there
ought to be something like 100000 now
in hand for him. What has been done
with it?-ERgiish paper.

18th of November, FIRE was discovered in
Capt. Meig's Office, in the southern wing
Of the Patent Office, but it was checked be-
fore doing much damage.
EuRoPE.-The news from Europe is un-
Important detail of which would be un.
necessary.
The journals generally-British, French
and German-speak in undisguised terms
of the completion, or progress towards COM
pletion, of an alliance between England
and Austria, and between France and
Russia.
The news is important as regards this
changing aspect ofrelations between France
and England, Public rumor no longer
hesitates to say that an Anglo Austrian
alliance is necessary to cOunteract the
threatened alliance between Russia and
France.
CENTRAL AMERIcA.-Gen. Walker and
his forces, have recently got into hot water
at Massaya, and during the skirmishing he
received information that the city of Ora.
NADIA was attacked. He instantly hastened
to the relief of that city, and found it in
vested by party of Chamonistas, whom
he at once attacked and drove from the
city. 1t now appears that the Chamonista
party numbered about three hundred, and
that while they held the city they com,
pletely sacked it, carrying of bungo loads
Of stores OF all kinds. Even Walkers
house was ransacked, and all his clothing
and papers taken. Walker lost all his
provisions, and the situation of affairs was
very critical If Walker could get along
without money aud provisions until sup
plies could be received from New Orleans,
he would be safe until the next battle,
which it is thought will be fought at Mas
saya.

BLACK REPUBLICAN, SAYINGs.-The fol
lowing expressions of " Republican" senti
ment cannot be placed before the people
too often:
The New York Tribune says, "The Tn
ion is not worth supporting in connection
with the Soulh."
The constitution is repronch, and
a league with Tophet."-Garrison.
" Sharpes rifles are better than bibles.
-Beeofer.
Let the Union slide '-Naihanid p
Banks.
The authors of these sayings are all bril-
liant stars in the black republican firma
ment, and Of course reflect the peculiar
views of the faction to which they are at
tached.

A LONG AND PROFITABLE JoB.-Dictiona
ry making "by authority" like most public
operations, is nice business for those who
have the job, to judge by the following
statement from the Paris Univcrs:
The Commission of the French Academy
for compiling new dictionary was formed
in 1886. 1t is composed of six members
who receive yearly salary of l200f, OF
together, 72OOf. 1t follows that, in the
course of twenty years, the six members
have drawn sum of 10000 At this
day, not only has the Commission not fin
ished the letter A of its dictionary, but il
has not gone beyond the adjective afec
tiOne. An approximate guess may, there
fore, be given as to the period when the
Commission will have terminated its laborS
and also the expense it will entail on the
State.

LOUIS 0. COWAN, Editor and Proprietor.

His plan was this: when he found tre'
"a peach tree for instancc-that had beer
deprived of its lateral branches too higt
from the ground, or which had an undue
proportion Of weight thrown upon one side
Of branches otherwise very proper to leave
undisturbcd, he would proceed to cut out
but without ragged edscs-quite large ir'
regular shaped pieces of the outer bark
nearly down to the wood and at such in
terval, apart on the side where il was de-
sired to have the additional limbs, as seemed
most judiciOus. This operation was fol-
lowed, of course, by an etfJrt on the part OF
the tree to protect the wounds thus inflicted
by renewal Of the natural covering; and
the result was the formation Of new, and
for the time, of a young and tender bark
Into this young bark buds could be inserted
with the same facility Us into the bark when
the tree stood in the nursery-and its denu-
ded body be once more clothed with the F.o-
lection from the sun and wind Of which the
knife OF the nursery man had stripped it,

Cultivation Of the Strawberry.

At recent meeting Of the Farmers Club,
at Concord, the following remarks on the
cultivation Of the strawberry were delivered
by John b. Moore
We have tried various modes, single rows,
beds and hills, but were now intending to
grow them to any extent, should adopt the
following mcthod In April or Nay, hay-
Ing the land Iloughcd, and narrowed fine,
work in manure enough to last two years,
and proceed to plant in rows three feet
apart; then SOW between each row row oi
turnips, beets or some other vegetable that
the crop could be gathered in August; keep
the ground free from weeds, allowing the
plants to spread as much as they please.
The next spring, as soon as the land is
dry enough to work, spade over the ground
one foot wide where the rows Of bcets stood,
which will leave the beds of strawberries
two feet wide, the space Of one foot which
WIS dug over making the p .th then thin
the plants where too thick. About the
first week in June, mulch the paths with
fresh cut grass, when everything is done but
gathering and marketing the crop. After
they are all gathered, which will be from
the 9th to the 10Th of July, put on dres-
sing of manure, and plough with sod
plough; turn over smoothly, sow with ruta-
baga, or corn, or oats for fodder.
My reasons for this course arc the follow
ing The first year the crop Of vegetables
between the rows will pay the expenses, and
the strawberries arc easily managed and
very certain to leave the ground well stocked
with plants the second year you will get
full crop without much labor and little an
noyance from weeds; If you undertake to
weed OHt and continue the bed another year,
you will have an almost endless job vi weed
ins in very busy time Of the year, and il
you should so to the trouble, your crop will
bc much smaller than the first year. by
following this plan | think they can be pro-
duced much cheaper than otherwise. Nee
England Farmer.
