We stood talking with a friend the
other day and admiring some thirty young
NAPLES. He informed us they were
transplanted late the last fall after the
leaves had fallen. He did not prune
them at all until the following spring,
when the knife was freely used. They
started slowly but surely, and at this
writing promised to become thrifty,
healthy aud ornamental trees. Besides
these trees, in soil of similar character,
another gentleman had planted trees
equally as good, aud taken equal pains
in the planting. They were planted last
spring, leaved out much earlier than the
fall planted, and promised to become
trees Now they are nearly dead--tho
leaves as dry as if the November frost
had bitten them. There is another fact
in reference to these fall planted trees
which it were we'll to note. They were
not planted deep-perhaps little deeper
than in the forest. from whence they were
taken, but mulch uf !c:chsd ashes, fur
mace cinders, coal dust, &c, was heaped
high about them. Dry weather does not
seem 10 affects them. We have succeed.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.--A recent mum
Der of the Milwaukee, T'ne Democrat
contains n statement which is of value to
the medical profes sion:
Some eight months ago, Mr. 7. Mason,
who kept music stsrc on Washington
street, and brother of the we'll known
Lowell Mason, asccrtaincd that he had a
cancer on his face OF the size of pea. 1t
was cut out by DR.. Wolcott, aud the
wound partially healed. subsequently it
grew again. and while he was in Cincin-
natl on business, it attained the size of a
hickory nut He has remained there
ST. ce Christmas under treatment and has
come back perfectly cured. The process
is this:
\ piece Of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with circular piece cut out
Of the centre a little larger than the can
Ger, SO that the cancer aud small crcu-
lar rim of healthy skin next to it were
exposed. Then plaster made of chlo-
ride of zinc, blood root and wheat -four
was spread on bit of muslin of the size
of this circular opening, and applied to
the cancer for twenty four hours.
On removing it the cancer will be found
to be burned into, and appear of the col
or and hardness of an old shoe sole, and
the circular rim outside of it will appear
white and parboiied, as if scalded by q
hot steam The wound is now dressed
and the outside rim soon suppurates, and
the cancer comes out hard lump. and
the place heals up
The plaster kills the cancer, So that il
sloughs out like dead flesh aad never
grows out again.
This remedy was discovered by DR.,
Fell, of London, aud has been used by
him for six or eight years with unfailne
success, and not case has been known
Of the re-appearance OF the cancer where
this remedy has been applied. 1t has
the sanction Of the most eminent physi,
clans and surgeons of London, but has
net until recently been used in this coun,
try, and many of the faculty, with their
proverbial opposition to innovations, look
upon it with distrust.
