Of slavery. He made a speech in 1850
on the subject. and the Richmond Enqni-

the editors his speech and with this en-
dorsement:
NO Garbling. I hope the readers of
the Enquirer will be informed that have
supplied the document called for.

The Enquirer then makes the subjoined

A REsURREcTIoNsT COVERED Up IN
GRAvE.-The Albany IN. " Evening
Standard, of the 7th ult, says:
A little after midnight, on Saturday
night, cry for help was heard to pro-
coed from one of the grave-yards on the
HILL Some half-dozen men in a porter
house near by, went to the rescue Of the
person from whom the cries came. On
crossing the graveyard fence, aad CROP
ing among the graves. they found the re-
quest for help to proceed from a person
in what appeared to be half-dug grave.
In his arms was a corpse, while upon
him was such quantity of dirt, that he
could not move an inch.
Shovels were Immediately obtained,
and the strange man in the strange grave
rescued from his perilous situation. It
was then discovered that he was q resur-
rectionist. He confessed that he and an
other rascal by the name of johnson had
been hired to procure a dead body for q
physician for S15; that after reaching
the yard, he entered the grave, raised the
lid Of the coffin, took out the dead body,
and was Just in the act Of passing the
same to johnson, when the grave caved
in upon him, in the manner in which he
was found. The moment the disaster
occurred, johnson made good his escape,
and fed towards Schenectady.

OUR HOMESTEAD.

Our old brown Homesisad reared its wall,
From the way-sids dust alOof,
Where the spple boughI could almost cast
Their fruitsge on lie roof;
And the cherry tree so near it grew,
That when awake I've lain,
In the lonesome nights, I've heard the limbs,
As they ereaked against the pane;
And those orchard trees, o, those orchard tress!
Ihavs seen my little brothers rocked
In their tops, by the Summer breeze!
The sweet bEiaT under the window sill,
Which the early biRls made glad,
And the damask rose by the garden fence,
Wers ell the flowers we had
I've looked at May flower, since then

That to other eyeSEere loYelisr,
Bot not to me so fair;
For those roses bright, o, those roses bright.

That are laid in the dust, from night.
We had well, deep old well,
Where the spring was never dry,
And the cool drops down from the mossy stones
Were falling constantly;
And there never was water half so sweet,
As that in my little cup,
Drawn up to the curb BY the rude old sweep.
Which my fathers hand set up:
And that deep Old well, o, that deep old WELT

Ofthe bucket, as il fell.

FRUIT RAISING.

notice in several Of your papers, that
the raising Of apples in your district is (
still problem, and among other causes 1
Of failure is the winter killing. You will
find, on examining the subject, that trees
whose yearly growth is moderate, seldom
Il ever will kill But you viii further
observe, that those trees, particularly
young ones on rich upland, make an ex-
traOrdinary yearly growth, sometimes
from three to six feet. This is supposed
to be caused by the superabundanee Of
electricity in the atmosphere in high lati
tudes, which, as in this case, causes the
extraordinary quick growth Of vegetation.
In lower attitudes, all kinds Of vegetation
grow slow, adapting themselves TO the
length Of the season and the reduced
amount Of electricity; hence, also, arises
the more frequent cause Of consumption
in high ATTITUDES, and a resort for inyalids
to lower ones for relief, the good effect OF
this removal being predetermined. Bet
to the cure Of the winter-kiIling Of fruit
trees which is, when you find your young
trees are making too much growth, it j:
necessary in August or September, tC
cut them back, which causes the wood t,
harden or ripen below, and preventing
winier-killing.
The yearly growth Of young appl
tree, to secure health, should not be owe
from twelve to sixteen inches; henc
growths from two and half to three an
a half feet is 50 much, that the wood ha

MANURnG YOUNG Fruit TREEs.-
II is an excellent practice to top dress the
ground about young fruit trees with yard
manure early in winter. 1t protects the
root from cold, and the soluble portions
soaking into the earth by each successive
rain or melting Of snow, fertilize them
with spaded manure. Spaded IN, in the
I spring, all the remaining advantages are
secured. The manure should not b
placed in little heap at the foot of the
stem, as many do, but should be spread
broadcast to q distance on every side
equal to the height Of the tree, as th,
roots extend much further than is com
