Southern Fruit Raising,

There is no branch Of domestic economy
more neg lected at the South than the cul.
ture of fruit. 1T IL true, there is an awaken
ed spirit among The few, but as vet not
among the masses. The grape is exciting
universal interest, as much for the dessert
as for wine. There are nurseries and ex-
tensive fruit orchards springing up in the
vicinity of our commercial towns, which
are a credit to the country, and a source of
proht TO the piop,ietors. But this is no:
all the country needs. Every proprietor in
the country-every owner of half acre
iot-owes TO himself, his children and his
country, To plant fruit trees. Land holders
Of tue South! cancel the debt you owe 10
Posterity this present fall. You should
plant this fall al least one million fruit trees.
The large planter should plant the apple,
pear, peach, grape, and Zig, not only for hs
white family, but for his negroes. Ripe
fruit, in It's season, is cheaper and healthier
than bacon. Even the small proprietor
may have fruit trees enough 10 save much
of the expense of living. Say not that your
soil does not suit the apple, pear, peach or
grape, for on a small scale you may make
soil TO suit any Of them. This is the
great advantage YOU have over those who
never read. lou may all grow peaches as
well us Moses, or cherries rs well as Peters.
or Strawberries as well as Peabody, or
grapes as well rs Axt, il you will but study
how TO do it. The smallest farmer among
YOU thinks 1t no labor lost, or time msspent.
10 study how lie may best iatten lis pig.
lie does not think of building a pen for his
pig and then feeding him on shucks and
water, but lie studies out and experiments
with that food which will produce the
greatest amount of pork. Now. if we will
divest ourselves of the erroneous idea that
fruit is but an article of luxury, and not of
food, and look at in the true light in which
God designed it, we shall find it as much
TO our interest TO study what will feed a
hog There can be no excuse for anv fani-
ly being without fruit. There are reliable
nurseries all around us. The fig and grape
grow so rapidly from the cuttings, and the
apple and peach from the seeds, that any
family, no matter how poor, may have an
orchard.
Our mission is, TO encourage the produc-
ton Of good fruit among the masses, and
when we see every householder in the land
sitting under his own vine aud fig tree, we
shall feel that we have accomplished our
mission.

NEW DEAF AND DUNE SYsTEM.-A little
more than year ago, as our foreign ex.
changes inform us, a Protestant Deaf and
and Dumb Institute was founded in The
South OF France, by Professor Kilian. Tho
founder Of this establishment has entirely
put aside the language Of signs and the
digiial alphabet. He teaches his pupils TO
speak, aud TO understand the words of
others, from the motions of their lips. His
success has been most extraordinary. He
has already collected thirty six pupils, Of
whom four are blind; the rest are deaf and
dumb-seventeen boys and fifteen girls.
The first anniversary meeting of the inslilu.
ton was held on the 3Oth Of September.
when some of the pupils were found able TO
JOIN IN conversation, and answer questions
put to them viva voce by pastors present.
Professor KiIian is pious Christian, who
calls his pupils his children, and especially
endeavors to bring them to Christ He
hopes gradually to enlarge his establish
ment and then to obtain the formation Of
others on the same plan, until all the Pro.
testant deaf and mute of that country uhev
are supposed TO be about 5000 in number)
shall bs cared for.

Our Mail Dis-arrangement.

The arrangement, or, as We may more properly
term it, the dis-arrangement of our postal commu-
nioation with tho " rest of mankind" which has
been in operation for some weeks, is extremely in
convenient disagreeable and advantageous We
get no mail from Providence and beyond, until
ubout p. NJ. Thus, not only is our correspond
ence from that city delayed for hours, but letters
from Boston, New York, &C., are detained in
Providence for the same length of time, short as Is
the intervening distance. Excepting such chance
intercourse as may take place by private hand, we
are kept for half day in needless ignorance of
whatever is going on in that rather laegSnropor-
tion of the world outside ofoar eN4 brliood,
however much we may be concerned to know the
news. The natural effect is uncertainty and dis
contents for, besides the unpleasantncss of being
deprived of letters impatiently expected an intel
lgent community is not satisfied until the general
news of the day is known. What is quito as bad,
worse, is the brevity of the interval for writing
between the reception and departure of the mails,
which is only an hour and a half after which our
mail communication has closed for tho day. At
Bristol the evil is still greater as the additional
time required for the transit of the mail cuts the
interval down to only about an hour. Of course,
with oil due diligence the writer's part, the re-
plies to many important letters are compelled to
lie over till next day.
Mr.. PHINNEY and Mr.. PITMAE, the efficient
Postmastcrs of the two places, have each written
to the Post Office Department, representing these
disadvantages and we learn that one Of our MGR
chants has also forwarded complaint on the SUBJ
jeet. Answers have been received, stating that
the Railroad Co. expect to remedy the difficulty
very soon by new arrangement of trains, which
the Company hope the travel on the Road will soon
warrant them in making; and only wait to feel
warranted by the additional travel, to make the
change. 1t must bo understood that the Company
is in no wise at fault in tho matter, as they have
not contracted to carry the mail at the hours most
desirabls for mail purposes. Unless the change
spoken of is to bo made very speedily, there ought
to be some other arrangement contrived by which
the inconvenience under which we now suffer
may be obvintcd

Bishop CIark's Lecture.

Bishop CLARK's Lecture ON Monday evening
was very well conceived very well written, very
well delivered, very well attended, and very well
received. His subject, "Thc Next Fifty Years."
afforded ample scope for the vivid imagination and
solid thought which are so we'll united in tho Bish-
OF. His suppostions in regard to the great changes
which the next half century will bring to pass,
were rendered plausible by referring to those
which have occurred within the last fifty years.
and the contemplated revolutions in the chief
branches of science and every day life, were shown
to be no more wonderful than those which have ta
ken place within recent period. In fact the
causes which must produce these changes are even
now operating with constantly increasing force
and almost daily there arc tokens Of progress
which render certain the accomplishment of tho
most striking contrvsnces of which il is possible
to conceive. The Lecturers detailed illustrations
were given very happily, and the audience, though
ehey could not repress an occasional smile at the
apparent oddity Of the predicted discoveries, were
evidently impressed with belief that we live in
an age when reason indicates that no man can set
bounds to the achievements Of human Ingenuity
and perseverance,.

SENSIBLE TALK.-Our friend of the Brooklyn
Times hits the right nail the head in the fol-
lowing judicious remarks -
at does not follow because extravaganza has caus-
cd the present convulsion, that parsnony and
ice are the remedies for it. The true way for to
emerge from present difficulties, and to avoid
such misfortunes for the future, is not for every
man to reduce his expenditures to the minimum,
aud deny himself any Of the necessaries or even
comforts adapted to his station In life. On tho
contrary, IL wc wish to set trade agong again, tho
way 10 do il is for each man 10 buy whatever he
wants, that he can fairly afford to pay for; and
having bought it, to pay promptly for it. In a
word, each should live as woll aud comfortably a
possible, provided always that he lives within his
Income, and promptly meets all his obligations"
