Nails In Fruit Trees.

\ singular fact and one worthy Of

lew days Sluce 10y Mr.. Alexander Duke.
OF AIbemarle. He stated that Whist ON
visit to ncighbor, his attention WAS
called to a large peach orchard, every
tree in which was totally DESTROY ed by
the ravages of the worm, with the ex
cepton of three, and these were tie
most thrifty and tlourishIuw peach tr4.s
he ever saw. The only cause Of their
superiority known to his host, was mn
experiment made in consequence of Oh
serving that those parts of worm eaten
timber into which nails had been driven,
were generally sound. When his trees
were about year old, he had selected
three oflhem and driven a ten penny
nail through the body "a near the grouud
rs possible whilst the balance OF his
orchard had gradually tailed and finally
yielded entirely to the ravages Of the
worms, these three trees, selected at ran
dom, treated precisely in tho same man.

always been vigorous aud healthy. fur.
nshIng him at that very period with the
greatest profusion of the most luscious
fruit, 1t is supposed that the salt Of iron
afforded by the nail is offensive 10 the
worm, whilst it it harmless, or perhaps
even beneficial to the tree.

Methodist Class Leader, in the Fifth

The lady was young, intelligent and good

conviction for sin, was received on proba-
tion by the Methodist Church, and after
the usual limit Of trial had expired, so
strict was her conduct and so irreproach
able he- demeanor, so far as others were
able to judge, that she was taken into
full membership. On Monday the class
leader, anxious for tho good health of his
wife, sent her tC visit her mother in Scho
dack. Thus relieved Of her presence, he
was free to consumate the plans which
seem to have been agreed upon between
himself and the woman. During several
