There is a practice amseg the Swiss and
Germans of boring Into the sfasill{l ansppg the
roots of fruit trees, with at nstfulnent made
for the purpose and pouris 10 liquid manure
to force the tree forward, and also enable it to
resist the drought in dry weather. I have prac-
ticed this for four years witt 0me cue Seckel
pears, in dry land, with good success. Avoid
this after September first, as - will induce q
second growth late in the fall which will be
quite irregular, and very liable to be winter
killed The instrument use il Tie commsn +

A MOUND OrESED.-Mr. Robert Stat
lord residing near Gallipolis, Ohio re-
Icently opened an Indian mound on his
iarm, six feet high and thirty feet in d.
ameter at the base.
lie first came to a stone vault, of which
he removed the keystone. The yault
Tor tour or live feet from the TOP. was
Ihlled with clay mixed with charcoal
Next came layer of ashes in good pres
ervation; then layer of a substance
three inches thick, resembling white
clay, perfectly dry, and easily broken
with the fingers. Embedded in this
ana IN the centre of the vault. was a
stone, quarter OF an inch thick as
large round as tin cup, and trimmed
round and smooth. Bencatl, it were
found four strips of rolled copper en-
bedded in kind of cement.
These strips are from three to six
inches long by one and half to two
inches wide. They were stuck endwise
IN the cement, and pointed north and
south. Two of the pieces are connect
ed at one side, like the binding of
BOOK, and between them is an inset of
dellcateIy rolled copper, about three
inches long and one and halfwide verv
much corroded. The editor of the Gal
lpolIs journal examined these copper
strips with a microscope, but he could
discover ohieroglyphics. On one strip
he discovered the impress of perfectly
formed branch of a tree; but whether
formed by human hands or by accident
rom contact with surrounding objects,
le could not determine.
The cement in which the plates were
ound extended below the surface, and
las been dug into to depth of two
eet. The vault is of sandstone, and
'ppears to have been subjected to a
powerful heat. The stump of a large
rec, which was cut, near the centre of
nc mound, year or so ago, indicates
he age as nearly four hundred years.

CoLD WATER TO CURE ScALDs.-I placed
a large tub of cold water, with plenty of
ice in it, by the side of large kettle of
water which was boiling very fast.
then rolled up my sleeve above the cl-
bow, thrust it into the kettle of boiling
water up to the elbow, then immediate
" back into the tub of ice water, letting
it remain a few seconds, then into the
boiling water again, repeating this pro-
cess ten times id a minute, without in
jury or inconvenience, not even making
my arm look red From this expert
ment suggested the propriety of using
cold. water baths instantly after being
scalded. | have practised the above
remedy with entire success during the

The Democratic Party is neither a Pro.
Slavery nor an Anti-Slavery PARTY.

The Democratic party needs no dc.
fence against the attempts of spccula-
tors in philanthropy to characterize it as
a pro-slavery party, except to point to
its creed as adopted by its representa-
tive bodies, and its principles as embod-
led in its leading measures, which as

national party it has no credit on the
subject of slavery, except that its exis-
tence shall be left entirely to the action
of the people of each State and Terrific
ry. 1t is neither for nor against slavery.
It might just as truly be called an anti
slavery as pro-slavery party. 1t is
neither, it is national in it's organization
and relations. It insists that New York
and South Carolina shall each determine
for itself whether it will tolerate domes-
tic slavery within its own limits. 1t ap-
plies the same doctrines to Kansas. Ne
braska and Oregon. It's members, as
citizens Of their respective States and

locality, and in reference to their local

very men as hey prefer. Their antago-
nistic positions On the subject of slavery
in their own vicinagc present no obsta-
Gle whatever to their harmonious associ-
alton in great national party which
has no creed on this topic, except TO re-
fer it for settlement to action Of the pcoe
pie as State and Territorial comnuni-
ties.
Such, in brief, is the position of the
National Democratic party on the sub
ject Of slavery Such every intelligent
