A Sign OF THE TMEs.-The Surn,
field Journal relates the following ineidso,
of the late Douglas reception in that ei,,.
The Douglasites on Saturday, gave ,
manifestation Of their zeal against N,
Buchanan and the National Democr,,;,
party, which was Of the most decil.I
character. As an indication of thu,
affection for Mr.. Douglas, his FOLLOWER,
gathered together as many of their Oh
campaign flags as they could collect and
suspended them across the street front;n,
the square. 1t was discovered, hower,r
that one of them bore upon its folds n.
omiDOus letters-"IRe Constitution r..
ch0naa and BreckiRridge." Instantly t6s
Gag was lowered, and in hot haste ma
with the most superlatiVe CONTEMPT tho
name Of Buchanan" was torn off, The
flag was again hoisted and read tins:
A." The Constellation. --and BrscI.
iaridge." But the blank space thus left
told a tale which they wished to conceal
and again the flag was lowered and mn.
tilatel and when It once more appeared
over the street, the motto was in this
shape :-"Ihe Constitution

you may GRAFT any time during the sum

you may graft any time during the sum
with good success. I have had roses
unite in two weeks, and make fine plants
by fall. There are soms species which
can be grated in the fall. when the sap
is circulating slowly, with moro advan-
tage than at any other season. Peonies
are an example. Camelias and roses
may be grated in July, by removing a
samll piece of wood containing a bud,
from the side of the stock, and reflling
the cut by a similar piece from the de-
sired variety. When. grating in the
fall a few precautions must be observed.
The stock should not be entirely cut off,
unless close to the ground. When the
head is removed, the sap, (already cir
culating slowly has no longer a tenden-
cy to ascend. The stem either dries up,
or is exposed to greater action of the
frost, therefore the gratis must be insert
ted on the side branches or close to the
ground, so that the soil may be drawn
up to the graft. When more fully test
ed, / have no doubt but We shall realize
the importance of extending tho season
of grating. It may be said, why will
not budding answer the purpose of
grafting4n summer? We answer, so it
will, in some instances, but it will not
do where the stock is old, or the desire
to have an early crop of fruit from the
graft, and there are some thin barked
plants which cannot be budded SO as to
make good plants.
1 shall now refer to the common ad-
vice given in most of the articles on
grating, viz that sto graft successfully,
the sap must be flowing in the stock
and that the scion should be cut as
early in the autumn as possible, after
the leaves are off, If this is correct,
how can the nursury practice of going
to the orchard in mid winter, and cut
ting the scions, and then inserting them
in pieces of roots or small stocks BY the
fresidcE be explained, or what promotes
the rapid union in summer, when the
sap is flowing rapidly in both scion and
stock, or in autumn, when tic sap is
descending. Our examination OF this
encourages as to venture the as
that the reasons generally as
signed for success, and the advice here,
tofore mentioned, are incorrecti also
the practice of using wax of a penetra-
ting nature and covering the graft en-
tirely over it, is productive of injury,
because it closes the pores of the bark
believe that grating may be done
at the same time with equal advantage,
as budding, providing the same care is
used to prevent the too rapid evapora-
ton of the juices from the graft also
an acquaintance with the physical ma
ture of the different species we cultivate,
will enable us to prolorg the operation
throughout the season. Also that the
more equal the conditions of the scion
and stock are, the more speedily they
will unite.

~SURE CURE-Spirits of harts-

tain remedy for the bic of a mad dog.
The wound, it is said, should be con
stantly bathed with it, and three or four
doses, diluted, taken iuwardly during
the day. The hartshorn decomposes,
chemically, the virus i~nsinuated into the
wound, and Immediately alters and des-
troys its deleteriousness.
A man, who resided in Brazil for some
time, first tried it for the bite of q scor-

Subsequently,, he tried it for tie bite Of
