Importance IF Trees to Health.

1t has lately been suggested that the fever and ague
might be avoided, in districts seourged by chat terrible
disease, by setting out rankly growing plants between
the infectious marshes and the points endangered by the
| miasma. At the National Observatory, in Washington,
the experiment was tried, the last summer, of planting
sunAowers at the foot Of the lawn, so as to- screen the
house from the marshes, and with signal success for
though the fever and ague prevailed every where around,
it was absent from the observatory, for the first time
for years. The experiment is to be repeated this year,
in a better manner, in order to. demonstrate whether the
exemption was merly a coincidence, Or more. Lieut..
Maury, who suggested the trial, assuming that the plants
caused the exemption, attributes it to the CONSUMPTION
by the sunhowers Of the deletcrious miasma evolved bv
the marshes. This may be so, though the suggestion
would be more philosophical, if the miasma originated in
in the decay of animal matter. Experience proved,
moreover, that any shelter, such as a belt of woods, an
intervening high ground, or other obstruction, will
protect a particular spot from intermittent fever, though
all the neighborhood may be ravaged by the disorder.
But trees, however healthy in the vicinity of human
habitations, should not be planted too near a dwelling.
In cities, there is little danger Of evil consequences from
this, for trees, however close to a house, rarely grow high
enough to oyorshadow it. But many country residences
are rendered sickly for being too thickly empowered
among trees. Sunlight, and fresh air are indispensable
to health. Show us a cottage, CT an old-fashioned,
manorial-lke country house, overshadowed by trees, so
that the rooms are always halfdarkened, and the rain
drops on the roof after showers, and we will show you a
place where rheumatism, colds, fevers and chills prevail,
according to the geological peculiarities of the district,
and the individual constitution Of the inmates. In cities,
where animal life predominates, more vegetation is re.
quired for the general health. But in the country.
where vegetable life is in the ascendant, trees, though
they may properly be planted so as to screen a house
from the winter winds, or exclude it from the imperti-
nent gaze of strangers, should never be allowed to an:

I0 The Surveyor General of Utah
reports that Salt Lake City is far greater
IN extent than the corporate authorities
are entitled to under the tewn site act
Of 23d May, 1874. which limits the
grant to 800 acres. He represents that
the city occupies several square miles,
and suggests the propriety of legal enact
nent to enable him to close the lines Of
the public surveys upon such limits of
the city as it may be proper to recognize.
1t is further stated that the public do
main 10 the city and out of the limits
thereof, settled by Mormons, is being
conveyed by the members of the church
Of Latter Day Saints, in consideration
of their good will towards the church, to

proceeding is incompatible with our sys-

s@r A venerable and intelligent ia-
tive African has recently arrived at New
York, from Savannah, Ga where he
was known rs Demock Charlton, and
served more than forty years as the
slave Of various parties, while be claims
to have been British subject, and en-.
titled to British protection. His story
is quite romantic When q child he was
brought away from Africa 10 Spanish
SLAYER, but the vessel was captured by
an English war brig, and the prize and
her cargo taken to England. His Afri-
can name was Tallen, but he was christ
ened John Bull, and sent on board the
British brig Peacock as a cabin boy -
At this time the war was in progress
between Great Britain and the United
States, and on the capture Of the Pea :
cock by the little American Schooner
Hornet, John Bull fell to the care of
Lieut.. VIM. Henry Harrison, who had
bin taken to savannah, from whence it
was Harrison's intention to take him to
Washington, where be supposed the boy
would follow the fortunes of the other
prisoners OF war. Judge Charlton of
Savannah, with whom the boy was left,
subsequently, informed Harrison that
John Bull was dead, and Harrison nev.
er interested himself further in the mat
ter. Judge Charlton, however, altered
the boys name to Demock Charlton,
and sold him. Demock proved to be
very intelligent and capable, and, buy
ing his time, he became boss steve
dore.
During the forty-6ve years he was in
bondage, be was owned by several dif-
ferent parties, and all the time was lay.
ing up money to purchase his own free
dom. Three or four times over he par
tally paid for himself, when his owners
would sell him and retain bis hard earn
ed money. He always insisted that he
was British subject, entitled to his
freedom, and being considered rather
unsafe property, he was often sold. Last
year, however, he fell into the hand of
man named Garmau, who was willing
that be should become free, and De-
mock purchased himself for $3.50, aud
took the FIRST boat for the North, leaving
in Savannah and vicinity a slave wife
children and grand children. Demock
is now endeavoring to obtain from the
British authorities at New York rec
ognition that he is a British subject.
with view Of prosecuting his oppressors.

I0- The Bellows Falls w. Times
says that recent revelations indicate that
the person so mysteriously murdered at
Newburg, N. Y, and who has twice
been mistaken for living persons, was
girl from Poultney, VT, where her
father and other relatives now reside,
and from whom nothing has been heard
since the 18th Of March last. 1t ap-
pears that this girl was married last fall
to man whose real character she did
not fully understand at the time, and on
the llth of March they went to Spring
field, VT, where they stopped till the
18th of the same month, since which no
tidings have been heard from the wife.
Her husband, who formerly professed to
be an Indian doctor, was in Putney, six
weeks since, and on being interrogated
as to where bis wife was, replied, 81

that could be obtained from him abou,
her. One or two Of the toes of one foot
of the person now 10 question, were

vestigations yet to be made, but say:
With this qualification, We unite in
the belief that the source Of the epidem :
ic in the National Hotel, at Washington
was solely poisonous atmosphere, pro-
badly engendered in the receptacles for
offal and other filth, under the building,
or adjacent thereto, in the sewers, 60.

otherwise by neglect, until the accumu-

the building, and, as in other cases Of
malarial exhalation, severely and dan
gerously affecting its inmates"
While this was the common cause,
the malady itself, they state were modi-
fed in individual cases by previous health
and developed with greater or less
promptness and severity by excuses or
iudiscrctions in diet, drinks, exposure,
&c., either Of which might have been
harmlessly indulged but for universal
