WEEDS IN GARDENS.

w EEDS In GARDENO-
Nearly every garden is infested with a
number of unnecessary weeds, and that
chiefly because they are allowed to go to
seed before any serious attempt is made to
exterminate them. A single plant often
has hundred or more seeds with which
to propagate its kind.
What folly, then, to complain of weeds, if
we allow them to SOW themselves broad
cast over our gardens If our weeds were
perennial plants, like the Canada thistle
and quick-grass, the case would be differ
ent; but they are mostly ANIMALS which
need only to be kept from ripening their
seeds to secure their extirpation. In Chi
ma, and some portions of Europe, weeds in
gardens are said to be almost unknown,
simply as the result of long continued cul-
tivation. A certain county in Pennsylva-
MIA is reputed to have rid itself Of the
Canada thistle, and there are gardens here
and there, in our neighborhood, in which
weeds are comparatively strangers. Seeds
we know, will steal over and from adioin-
ing fields into the best managed gardens;
but their number will be comparatively
small, and the labor of keeping them in
subsection not great, if none are allowed to
90 to seed in the garden itself.

The action of the Republicans assembled in State
Convention yesterday at Harrisburg, Pa, is deemed
iudicious. | learn from gentleman who wss present
tina. the leading Republicans of the State consulted
with some Of the principal Anti-Lecompton Democrats
before the Convention assembled; and it was agreed
upon in Convention, that they would not proceed to
take any action against the Lecompton Constitution
Republicans, but adjourn sinc die, with instructions
to their State Central Committee to call Convention
at an early day of all those opposed to the Lecomp-
ton fraud. This will be done, and the Convention
will, probably, be held some time during the last of
June. This action of the Republicans meets the
wishes Of the AntiLecompton Democrats of Pennsyl-
vsna, and is viewed by the Anti-Lecompton Demo
Gratis of the lo1se of Representatives from Pennsyl-
vaIa as a wise movement in the right direction.
