Bill itself was framed and submitted by
Democratic Senator from Virginia, Mr..
Hunter of the thirty three votes cast
for the Bill in the Senate, twcnty-three
were Democrats, enough to have passed
the Bill if not another Senator had voted

We shall make short work with
the weak and windy column and a quarter
printed against us last week in The Cecil
Democrat. IT contains not a Single fact. IT
contains no abuse cven but that Of the most
tinmanly character, worthy alonc of the mud.
dy headed and dishonest little drivrller who
puts it forth. With that disposition to per
vert and falsiiy all things he touches, which
is his main Characteristic, he has the cHron-
terry in all his stupid column, to assert that
we try TO shield oursef from him by the rx
cuse of sickness. Every reader Of the two
papers knows that it is false. He brniul}v
entered The privacy of our sick chamber and
eXultlng'y published us AS " dccaycd - and
"dying !" from the bedside he had invaded
we rctOrted, that our sickness was IA private
matter aud that on account Of il We asked no
advantage OF him, Yet in The face Of this he
says We fall back on our sick bed as a cluye-
nient retreat. lie lies common liar that he
iS-as he always lies. This language is, no
doubt diSagrccablc to some of our readers
is is disagrccabe TO us-but what is man to
do when set upon by such a man in such
manner. Entering our sick home, dragging
us thence, publishing us in the face of our
relatives and friends as {. dccavcd and
"dying, and when turned down for his
brutality, false|y printing again that we make
an excuse of sickness. Can any man make
himself more disgusting and contemplate
than he has in this affair We repeat. our
sickness is nothing to him he never had any
business with it, and his impotence in prof
ierlng advice on account of it is only cquallcd
by his baseness in referring to it at all.
AT this point we will refer to the following
sentence in his article. He says:
@ On one occasion when VIC were sorrowinr
over the keen affection Of the loss of beloved
daughter The Cecil Wing teemed with the
vllest abuse towards u.s."
The reader will readily perceive the intcn-
ton Of that. Finding that even his own party
were kissing him for his brspery in attacking
us in sick chamber and exuling over what
he was pleased to call our dying condition. in
his columns, he gets up this 81 lost daughter''
edsX as set-of. Now we have less knowl

Best Size Of Trees for TransplantinE,

The proper size for transplanting varies somewhat
with the sort Of tree, and the kind Of culture intended.
1t is, however, a maxim equally we'll settled, both
among theorists and the best practical men, that health,
Immediate vigor, and duration, are all greatly promoted
by transplanting fruit trees Of small size-from three
to six or seven feet. We are fully aware with what
lmpatence the beginner, or q person who knows little
of the culture Of trees Of this sizc-one who is eager to
plant an orchard, and stock a garden with large trees,
thinking to gather q crop the next year. The latter
may indeed be done, but the transplanting so affects
the tree, that its first scauty crop is followed by a long
season of rest, and feeble growth; while the plantation
Of single trees is making wood rapidly, and soon comes
into a healthy and long-continued state Of productive
ness-often long indeed before the large trees have
fairly arrived at that condition. The small tree, trans.
planted with its sasten Of roots and branches entire,
suffers little or no check the older and larger tree,
losing part of its roots, requires several years to resume
its former vigor. The constitution of the small tree is
healthy and unimpaired that Of the larger, frequently
much enfeebled. \ stout and ~vigorous-what the
nurserymen call a good stocky plant-is the true cri-
terion of merit in selecting fruit trees for transplanting
-lDowding.
A NICE POINT OF LAw.-I heard this anecdots from
q gentleman long resident in Philadelphia. Two
Quakers in that place applied to their society, as they
do not go to law, to decide in the following difficulty !;
Il is uneasy about a snip that ought to have arrived,
meets B, an insurer, and states his wish to have the
vessel insured. The matter is agreed upon. A returns
home, and receives a letter informing him of the loss of
his ship. What shall he do? He is afraid that the
policy is not flied up, and should 3 hear Of the matter
soon, it is all over with him; he, therefore, writes to B
thus { Friend B, if thee hasn't filled up the policy,
thee needn't, for Tve heard of the ship ooh, oh!
thinks Il to himself, cunning fellow he wants to do
me out Of the premium So he writes thus to A
" Friend A, thee be'est too late by half-an-hour, the
policy is filed A rubs his hands with delight, yet B
refuses to pay. Well, what is the decision? The loss
is divided between acknowledgements Magazine.

Uncle Ren,s Ram.

Uncle Ben was Il queer old man,
And a queer old man was he
He owned A ram-and a bunting FAM
In fact, his bunting propensities prompted
him to bunt everything buntable he could see.
His fat old wife never used a stool :
To milk she would ne'er sit down;
And though old Ben called her q fool,
Yet she would never harken to his advice, but
to reciprocate the favor, she called him a clown.
But one sad morn as Brindle stood
Beneath the stately pear
Old Ben's wife, in merry mood,
Was milking her COW, occupying her usual
position with but little care.
The ram and Ben the fact espied,
And loudly Ben did shout.
sSquat down squat down - he did cry
But she didn't hear him, and before he could
interfere the ram had turned his fat wife about.
Old Uncle Ben was very wroth,
All! very wroth was he
He took the grind-stone from its trough,
And tying a pole to it, hung it on a limb of
the old pear tree.
Then like a heavy pendulum
He swung the mighty rock,
Which seemed to say, I'm up for fun,
Mr.. Ram, so just come on, will you, and take
an afectionate knock.
Right hriskly then the fight besun,--
The stone would not give in
And Ben's old ram would yield to none,
So he hunted all day. And when Uncle Ben
went to bed he was still bunting like all sin.
Aud when old Ben came out next day.
And went into the lawn,
The ram had hunted himself away,
And everything under heaven, but about two
inches Of his tail, used u~p-completely gone.
