EXTENSIVE PLANTING OF FRUIT TREES.
who were through the county making sales Of
fruit trees during the past Summer, delivered
three thousand dollars worth at this town on
Saturday last, to farmers of this section of the
county. They were principally Apple trees,
but there were many peach, plum, pear, and
cherry trees, and few awicots. They also
sold quantities Of currants, gooseberry and
raspberry bushes and strawberry vines. This
seems large amount Of money to send from
the county at once 70! fruit trees, but if
planted and tended with care they will amply
repay in few years.

G-5=A case recently tried in the Court Of
Common Pleas, at Lancaster. Pa. was dcci
ded upon principles which, if followed up
would have a tendancy to prevent the adul-
teration of liquors. The plaintiffs in this
Case sued the defendant for the recovery
The defence was that the liquor did not cor
respond with the sample by which it was
sold, and that it contained corrosive or pois-
onous substances. This latter point was es-
tablished by chemical test, and the verdict of
the jury was in favor Of the defendant, allow
ing the plaintiff nothing Tor the whiskoy.

How THEY DO lT.-The Daily Exchange,
Reformo. locofoco paper Of Baltimore, during
the late canvas. sent a reporter to take down
u speech delivered by Winter Davis, for pub
locations in lis columns. not for the purpose OF
doing justice to Mr.. Davis views, but in order
to criticise the speech and bring its author
into disrepue and thus injuro his election
The object being understood, it is easy to
see what chance for justice the speaker had
in such hands, and they so garbl,d and per-
vertsd his language that he published note
saying, the Report was false and, as he be-
lieved maliciously false. 1t was known to
be n false report by all who heard him. But
the Euhanee. with its false report went
abroad through the country. and New
Orleans paper seeing the speech as reported
therein. proceeds to condemn Davis in no
smooth terms for language there stated to
have been used by him, but which he never
uttered. The Exchange, then copies with
gusto, from that paper, the denunciations oil
Davis elected by its own false and malicious
report Of his speech. This is the way those
hish-minded Reform locolocos of Baltimore
treat an opponent. Bat in the end they will
suffer worse than the object Of their malice.
