This body held quite an interesting ses-
sion on Wednesday evening last. The bill
''to protect and define the rights Of women
came up, and ELECTED much discussion
The ladies of the city turned out and evin-
eed q lively interest in matter so closely
CONNECTED with their welfare. Below we
give the bill, the editor of the paper in
which it was ordered to be published hav-
ing absolutely refused to give it an inser-
ton, he being hard hearted old bachelor.
The bill is made the special order for next
Saturday evening. when it is expected
that several aspiring young members will
let flow their '.pent up" feelinks. The Ia
dies are requested to attend,
LAWS OF THE STATE OF FBUHcoABE-PUBLfsH-
Ed By AUTHORITY.
AN ACT to Protect and DEFINE the Rights
WHEREAS, Woman has from the creation
of the world to the present time been its
chief ornament and pride, the support and
solace of man in his despondency and af-
fiictions. the depository of his trust and the
counsellor of his bosom, and -
WHEREAS. The Governor and Legisla
tive Assembly of the State of Buncombe are
decidedly of the opinion that the Human
race is greatly indebted to Woman for its per-
petuation, happiness and improvement, yeI
tina: hitherto the civilized world and the
rest of mankind have been greatly wanting
in their appreciation of these high and an
gelic characteristics, and have sought to op'
press and degrade her by denying her the
common rights of human nature, and al
participation in legal and municipal affairs,
| thereby violating the first principles of re-
publican government by excluding her from
all representation while insisting upon th'
right of taxation, therefore
Be it enacted BIZ the Governor and Legis
lative Assembly of the State of Buncombe
Sec. 1. That every female of the age o
eighteen years and upward, whether maid
or matron, wife or widow, native or foreign
born, without regard to beauty or complex
ion, whether clothed in hoops, petticoats
pants or BIoomers, shall be entitled to al
the rights, privileges, liberties and immu
mites of free-born white male citizens o
this State.
Sec. 2. Amy person who shall in any man
ner encroach. or. infringe upon any of the
rights herein before granted and guaranteed
shall be deemed guilty of high treason, and
on conviction shall be punished with i'm
prisonment for life in the Matrimonial Peni
tentiary, under the care and subject to th'
control of such female citizen as th'
State Council of Crinoline may select anc
appoint.
| Sec. 8. This act shall be published in th'
Buncombe Spread Eagle Gazette, and shal
take effect from and after its publication.

THE LAWRENCE NURSBRT!

Is SITUATED TWO MILES WEST OF LAW
L renee, on the Lawrence and Lecompton road,
or perhaps better known as the CalifeTaia road
In offering our Trees for sale we have bat few
words to say. Particular attention has been paid
TO their cultivation. in order to keep them in good
shape for setting in orchard form. The soil on
which they are grown being good and worked
deep. they are uncommonly we'll rooted, having
large amount of 6brous roots. ssLr
We have spared no pains in obtaining the best
varieties of s. .-->'sE
Summer, Fall and Winter Fruit,
Especially those kinds that have been tested and
found to do well in the most Western States. In
order to prevent mistakes, cut our scions for
grating from old bearing trees, and will guar
rantee the kinds to be what we sell them for.
Our trees have been raised on Kansas soil, and
are therefore much preferable to those from out OF
the Territory, being much more certain of living
and making rapid growth, as We have learned by
our own experience.
Our trees are healthy. thrifty. and well grown.
and as such we offer them to Fruit Growers at
cheaper rates, We think, than any other nursery
men.
All persons who wish to obtain Fruit Trees are
invited to call and see for themselves. before pur
chasing elsewhere.
Orders received at the Office of Bassett Brack-
EFT, Lawrence. z. T., or at the nursery grounds.

Cops PRoTECrIoN TO TIE YOUNG DEER
An old Canadian hunter declares that the
reason why the wild deer were not all killed
when young, las they breed once a year and
are always surrounded by other animals which
prey upon them. as dogs, wolves, hears. pan.
theirs. etc, is that "no dor or other nnima
can smell the track Of doe OF fawn. while the
latter is too young to take care of itselG"-
lie stated that he had often seen it demon
strated. lie had taken his dogs over tho
ground when nc had just before seen them
pass, and they would take no notice Of tn,
track, and could not be induced to follow
when taken to the spot. while they would in.
slan.ly discover the track of any deer no,
having young ones. This is but one proof Of
the adaptation of the natural laws to preserve
life when it most needs protection.

we set out about one hundred American arbor
vilGs, and every one has grown. We also set
out Austrian pines, Scotch, Norway and Silver

creased in size-somc of them growing foot.
Some persons who perhaps have never set
out tree properly in their lives, are exceed.
ingly profuse in hcaping their complaints upon
the season. Our failures in tranSpantire
| trees of any kind, have been owing, in nine
cases out of ten, to the abomnabIe manner in
which they were lifted in the nursery /: and
we believe that large majority of the failures
are to be attributed to this cause Nursery

employ men TO take up trees, who perform
their work as though they were digging Gu,
