TOUCHING INcfDENT.-A correspon
dent. writing from Philadelphia to the
Louisville Democrat, relates the following
Whilst an aged and poorly clad femal,
was asking aims at the corner of Fourth
and Chesnut street, smartlooking young
sailor passed within few feet of her. gazing
intentlv for several seconts on her hapoard
face. She approached him, and extended
her palm in silence. Instantly his hand
found its way TO his capacious pocket, and
when he drew It out it was filled with gold
and silver, which be forced her to take,
saying:
There, good mother, take this; you
may as well have it ss the land-sbarks.
The last cruise had out Of New York
found me with four hundred dollars on
hand; but ms the neighbors told me nv
mother was dead, I got on spree with tile
mouey-spent it all inside of week, an !
then shipped again." ....
ooh. good-good sir! you are too kind
to an o|d+body like me. "For your sake, I
will lake it. Oh! you remind me of my
poor son, george, who shipped, and was

. How TO MANURE TREEs.-Vcry few
persons manure trees growingin sod or grass
land. judirious or economical manner
The general practice is to dig the manure
in, within diameter Of six feet, having the
body for the centre. The tree takes its
food from the young roolets, whose mouths
extend just as far on every side, rs the
branches Of the trees hence, this manure
applied close to the body Of the tree, is not
where the roots take il up; and, of course.
but little of its value is absorbed by the tree.
II you doubt it. just try the experiment on
two tress Serve the one AS above named,
and tile other as followers, viz: Make q
circle around the having, for it's outline the
exact radius formed by the overhangipe
oranches; dig on the inner side Of this cir,
Gle trench two feet wide, and one foot
deep; mix :-sll rotte1 manure half and baf
with The best Of the soil, or earth dug out
OF the trench, and fillths trench witblii: then
replace the turf. and wheel away the re.
fuse, or extra earth; rake clean and smooth:
you s'l! have good growth Of trees; your
fruit large aud. moretfair, and no unsiehtly
or unnatural thillock.or mound around the

Is Window a Know Nothing

The Times denies that he is, and the
Mnmesotian approvingly copies the denial.
Yet this does not settle the question. Mr..
WINDOW has not get denied his connection
Wah the order. Nor will he venture to do
so. Mr.. CAvANAUGH carries with him, and
from every stump, produces incontrovertible
proof of the fact, that in 1854, WINDOW was
an active member of the Nnow Nothing
order; that he assumed the proscriptive and
degrading oaths of the order, as they appear
in the ritual and that he showed his APP
prevail of the principles of Know Nothing
ism, by attending as delegate the Grand
Lodge of the State in which he resided.
Some men have been betrayed into the Or
der. But this is not the case with WIN
DOM he joined voluntarily, and continued
an active member of the order, until it was
merged in Republicanism.
In assuming the first degree of the Know
Nothing order, Mr.. WILLIAM WINDOW,
"with one hand on the holy bible, and the
other on the American flag" took the fol-
lowing oath:
sc In the PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD
and these witnesses, I, WILLIAM WINDOW,
DO SOLEMNLY PROMISE AND SWEAR, that
l will never betray any of the secrets OF TINS
society, nor communicate them even 10 proper
candidates, except within lawful council OF
this order; and that will never permit any OF
the secrets of this society to be written, or IN
any other manner made legible. except for the
purpose of official instruction; THAT WILL
Nor VOTE NOR GIVE MY INFLUENCE FOR
ANY MAN FOR ANY OFFICE IN THE GIFT
OF THE PEOPLE, UNLESS HE BE AN
AMERICAN BORN CITIZEN, IN FAVOR OF
AMERiCANS RULING AMERICA, NOR IF
m BE A ROMAN CATHOLIC; THAT WILL
IN ALL POLITICAL MATTERS, so FAR AS
THIS ORDER IS CONCERNED, COMPLY
WITH THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY, AL
THOUGH IT MAY CONFLICT WITH MY
PERSONAL PREFERENCE. r Binding
myself in the penalty of accommodation from
the order, the forfeiture of all intercourse ,cih ats
members, and being denounced in all Of the socie-
ties of the same as tciful traitor to my God and
my country"
In taking the second degree of the order,
Mr.. WINDOW enlarged his oath, as follows
"In the PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD
and these witnesses, /, WILLIAM WINDOW,
sOLEMNLY AND SINCERELY SWEAR,
THAT l WILL SUPPORT IN ALL POLITI-
CAL MATTERS, FOR ALL POLITICAL Of
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1859-09-09

FICES, MEMBERS OF THIS ORDER IN
PREFERENCE TO OTHER PERSONS; THAT
IF 1T MAY BE DONE LEGALLY, / WILL
WHEN ELECTED OR APPOINTED TO ANY
OFFICIAL STATION CONFERRING ON ME
THE POWER OF DOING so, REMOVE ALL
FOREIGNERS, ALIENS, OR ROMAN CATHO.

American citizen, to sustain and abide by
without any hesitation or mental reservation
whatever. So help me God and keep me
steadfast."

urooo, nave Deen paiu W tnc amount OF
$4,000, out of the appropriations already
made, and $4,000 will cover all yet to be
paid.
As to the Territorial Indebtedness, the
Republicans had not progressed enough to
repudiate it, and so voted that it should be
paid. This amount should not be charged
to the State; deducting it, we have appro.
priated for all State purposes Including the
long session of the Legislature $312, 46l.88.
Of this sum the books Of the Auditor of
State show that to September LIST there re-
NAMED undrawn of the several appropria.
lions, the sum of about $45,OOO.0O.
This includes the $4,000 for postage,
which members voted to themselves about
the last day Of the session, and which was
not allowed by the Auditor and Treasurer
of State.
The appropriations for the payment of
the members of the Legislature are drawn
directly from the State Treasury on the
presentation of the certificate Of the officers
ofeach house respectively.
The books of the State Treasurer show
that of the several appropriations for legis-
lative expenses, there yet remains undrawn
balance of $16,427 IS. 1".
Amount subject to Auditors draft. $4,000 90
. Treasurer's g :. 16,427 90
Total appropriations yet undrawn. SCI APT 90
These should be deducted from the total
appropriations made fer State and Legisla-
tive purposes above. This will leave of the
appropriations used in 1858, and to Sep
TENDER LIST, 1859, $251,O34 IS.
Since the LIST day of January, 1859, the
Auditor has drawn warrants on the State
Treasury for $4,000, including $4,000 for
payment of January and July interest on
the State debt; $1,000 territorial indebted
messy for the payment to FOSTER & MOORE, of
the Minnesotian Office, for printing the Re-
publican Convention Debates, and S40S of
other territorial Indebtedness. Deduct
amount drawn for territorial Indebtedness,
and the balance drawn for all State pur-
poses from January lst to September LIST,
1888 months-is $6S,600. This in
cludes $4,000 paid for the edition of the
Compiled Laws, and $4,000 paid in the
Wright county affair-expenses which are
not likely to be again incurred for years.
This leaves the average monthly expenses of
the State government, when the Legisla-
ture is not in session, at about $4,000.
1t should also be remembered that when
the Democratic State Administration came
into power, every apartment in the Capitol
building required for use as offices, except
the Governors, was totally unfinished
These have been plainly bat substantially
furnished, an expense which will not soon
occur again.
The remedy for preventing the necessity
of large appropriations will be to reduce the
number of members in each house of the
Legislature, as proposed in the eleventh
resolution of our platform, and to have
shorter sessions. Local taxation for county,
city, and town purposes, is far more onerous
than for State purposes, and our party
stands pledged to reform in our county
system.
