DISCOVERY OF A suNREN c1Tg

A gentleman lately from Jamaica, ria
Boston, gives some curious particulars in
regard to the discovery made in the har
Dor of Port Royal, in reference to the
ancient city of that name. The discov-
cries were said to have been made by "a
party of divers, but it was not stated who
they were, or what they went for. 1t
turns out, however, that they were sent
from this country, to explore the wreck
of the steamer Osprey, a small vessel OF
800 tous, that used to trade between New
York and South America, calling into
Kingston, Jamaica, few years ago
The Osprey, in 1856, was on her return
voyage with a rich cargo of india-rubber
and other valuables, when she called as
usual into Kingston. On the very morn
ing of her intended departure, shortly af-
ter midnight she caught fire, through enc
or two of her crew attempting to steal
spirits, and she burned to the waters
edge, and then sunk. The divers have
been very successful in getting out ofthe
hull of the vessel large quantity of in
dia-rubber, and other articles. While
thus engaged, the steamer Tulorous en-
tered Port Royal, and something being
the matter with her bottom, the Ameri
can divers were employed to, search
They di. so, and discovered that pof-
ton of the copper had been stripped off
which they made all right. Having
done this they were encouraged to ex
plore the ruins of the old city !, now lying
in several fathoms of water, which they
did, and reported that they found the
streets of the submerged city entire, a.
they had been laid out, with the ruins OF
buildings on each side. This is matter
worthy of antiquarian research (if such
a term may be used, as it may, in the
New Worldly; and though the gold and
silver there buried may never be discov
cred (and who shall say they will not p
it is really worth exploring the wreck of
a place that was once-insigniicant as it
now is-one of the most ancient cities in
America.

WHITEwAsu1NG TREES IN THE FALL

WHITEwAsH1NG TREES IN THE FALL
Charles Rosensteil, who is one of the
most successful orchardists of Northern
Illinois, told us of his practice in whit
washing fruit trees in the fall, which we
think worth making a note of. The
practice of whitewashing in the spring
is objected to, because the coat of lime
stops the pores of the bark, and prevents
the. healthful contact of the air; but
whitewashing in the fall is a winter pro-
lection, both by its coating and its refec-
rion of the suns rays, which are often
fatal in the winter. 1t is further useful
for destroying insect eggs that may be
in the bark, and by the opening of spring
The whitewashis is so much We ather-beaten
rs to be no detriment to the circulation
of sap or air.
