Yes, set out cherry tree by the
gate near the road, and another at the
end of the house to partially shade the
sitting room from the hot sun. The
cherry, when well trained, forms reg
ular, symmetrical tree, ornamental, at
least when covered with a profusion of
snow white bloom, or bending beneath
its load of dark red fruit. Set pear
tree in the nook by the shed, and one
at each end of tie carriage house.
They viii injure nothing, and the rich
soil will cause them to grow rapidly.
Now put out few peach trees along
the garden border where the shade will
scarcely injure the vegetables, or few
trees may be set compactly fifteen feet
apart, and the space they would shade
be used for raspberries and bIackber-
ries.
There is the lane, too, leading to the
pasture which might well have row
of apple or peer trees upon each side,
which will injure the adjacent fields
far less than the returns they should
give. The road sides also, can be set
with apple trees yielding winter fruit.
Such single rows of trees usually give
better returns than the same numbers
of trees in an orchard. Again, there
is the south of the barn, shed, and
hovel, yes, and the tight fence upon
the north side of the garden, which
might be covered with grape vines and
yield many bushels of fruit.
Now readers look about your build
ings, around the yards, along the
fences, etc., and see if there is not room
for few more trees. Then go to the
nearest nurseryman if he is an honest,
careful grower, and select your trees
have them taken up with all the roots
take them home without exposure tc
the sun, and set at once in large broad
holes, spreading out the roots and fibers
in their natural position. II the sol
is not rich, add little old manure OF
ground bones at the time of setting
and hopefully await the result of your
experience in time and money.

How to Destroy the Pea Bug.


The Ohio Farmer has ar article from
the pen of professor Kirkland, in
which chloroform is recommended for
destroying the larvae of this pest. This
agent has been thoroughly tested by
the professor, and the following plan
adopted:
The eggs of that insect are depos-
tied in the pea while it is yet young
and tender. About the period when
the pods become dry, the young larvae
are Matched and commence depredat-
ing on the cotyledon of the vegetable.
That is the moment to be improved for
arresting the progress of the evil. The
seeds should be shelled from the pods,
and placed in suitable bottle closed YES.
sci or box. On them should be sprink.
led few drops of chloroform, which
should be extensively shaken. This
should then be corked and every speci
men of insect within it will probably
be destroyed in twenty minutes time
but to render the process perfectly sue
eessful it is well TO continue the peas
in their enclosure for twenty-four hours
or longer Seed peas, thus treated
will show on examination a mere specl
at the point, occupied by the young
worm. But the advantages of this
process will be most observable wher
the plants from these seed peas make
their growth next season. They will
be far more vigorous and healthy thar
those starting from seeds which have
been extensively excravated by tina
depredator. BY this method we car
annually preserve the seeds, and per
petuate the cultivation of the fine varie
ties of this vegetable, in this vicinit.

A mighty wind went raging by
It was wondrous sight;
Stout trees bent down their branches high;
Dark clouds of dust whirled through the sky
And noaght around me could ! spy,
But trophies of its might
4 little breeze passed gently Ger
Iscarcely heard its tread;
Yetfreshaess to the flowers it bore,
And through the open cottage door,
Their fragrance foated in once more.
Around the sick mans head.
Then thought Lit were grand, know,
The strong proud wind to be;
Bat, better far, subdued to 60
Along the path of human woe.
Like the mild breeze, SO soft and low,
In it's sweet ministry.

THE KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRcLE.-The
Galveston (Texas) News of October Goth, has
the following paragraph:
We had a call yesterday from Gen. Biek-
ley, of Virginia, well known as the founder
and now chosen leader of the "Knights of
the Golden Circle" lie arrived yesterday
from New Orleans and left in the afternoon
for Houston, Austin and San Antonio. lie
should have been in Texas ten davs ago. but
was unavoidably delayed on his way. lie
informed us that he is ahead of his main
bod and we gathered from his remarks
that the parties who have reached the Rio
Grande, via Corpus Cristi, went ahead with
out his orders. lie appears to be quite de-
termlned to prosecute the objects of the X.
e. c., and confident in their resources to do
SO. We do not think any final steps will be
taken until after the Presidential election.

The Memphis inquirer saws:

"All, or at any rate, enough, voters to con.
troll affairs, should recolect that no govern.
ment is possible under which certain privil-
eyes are not surrendered. perfect Democ-
racy is possible only in small community
too small to be safe themselves or dangerous
to others. No extremist is competent to ad-
minister government of varied interests
1t Is even dangerous to try such an expert
ment. In pure Democracy, however, it
might be done, and if it failed, it would be
only tempest in teapot; but what would
it be with us 2"

The World DOES MovE-Here are a few
curious points in the news by the Asia:
l. Universal suffrage is given to the peo-
pie of Naples. They are requested to vote
by ballot, yea or nay, upon the question of a
union of all the Italian States, with Victor
Emanuel as constitutional King,
2. a serious proposition is made to the
Pope to sell out or commute. An attempt is
being made to carry out About's idea Of a
palace and garden for the Holy Father.
3 One of the old Bourbons writes to the
London Times and claims the throne of
Spain. A Bourbon appealing to the world
through free press is one of the wonders
of the age.
1. Garibaldi kes a railway train as a
conveyance to the scene where he fights
against another Bourbon, and opposes a
Colts revolver to the old fashioned stiletto.
Trnly, as Calico said the world does
move The European people are evidently
preparing to follow our example, and to set
up in the business of government on their
own account. They certainly cannot make q
worse hand of it than the hereditary despots
who have oppressed them SO long Let us
hope that they will dc much better-N. y.

IF the ratio for a member of Congress is
fixed at 10000 people, we shall probably
retain our present delegation in the House of
Representatives, viz: twenty-one members
Ohio will still retain her position as the third
State in the Confederacy She will lead any
other State largely. The question of which
will be fourth lies between Virginia and
Illinois. Each of there States will have
about 100000 or 100000 inhabitants
The increase in the population Of Ohio has
been about 100000 since the last census,
which is doing very well. Our increase is
probably proportionally larger than either

THE FrcnT IN VRGNTA.-We clip the fol-
lowing from the Bulletins ST. Louis letter,
dated Nov. 7th:
In Virginia, the fight between the Disun-
ionists and Union friends has become very
fierce. The Norfolk Herald denounces in
strong language the rec ent movement of ex-
Gov. Wise in Princess Ann county. 1t de-
clares that the manifesto of the Ex-Governor
is regarded, by an overwhelming majority of
the citizens OF Norfolk, "as declaration of
war against the Constitution and laws" That
it is looked upon az a daring attempt to usurp
the authority Of the Legislature, and subject
the lives, the property, and the dearest rights
OF the citizens to the mercy of band Of
Regulators" in every county of the State,
under the name of Minute Men; and that it
does not believe that this attempt to intro
duce the "reign of terror" into Virginia will
travel beyond the county in which it origin
ated. z Great excitement exists in Virginia BEG
tween the secessiCnist faction, headed by
Gov. Wise, and that of the Unionists, under
Gov. Letcher. Gov. Letcher is determined
TO put down all revolutionary proceedings,
and maintain the supremacy of the laws
There is no doubt that the Union sentiment
in the whole South largely predominates
among the masses A leading politician
writes from Virginia as follows:
Gov. Wise has raised the standard of trea-
son and revolt. His speech utterly demol-
ishes him and his whole former reasoning
Messrs LetcheF, Bolts, Rives, Segur, Flour
noy and Goggn are all against Gov. Wise.

and before they could get her righted, two

fortune they lost all their provisions, water

Jimmy Jones and his Parrot.
BY THE BARD OF QUINCY HALL.


Jimmy Jones, not over prudent,
Had a very prudent wife,
And his conduct, as a husband,
Led TO some domestic strife.
Once he bought a pretty parrot,
And an eagle for it paid.
To his home he went rejoicing
Ger the bargain he had made.
"Foollsh mani" exclaimed his lady,
"Buyng birds to eat our bread
What on earth could put such nonsense
In your sood-for nothing head?
81, myself, can do the talkingi
You may laugh, It's so indeedi
lean talk from night Till morning,
And no parrots help need
"You are wanting clothes for Sunday,
And the money fooled away
For that squallng, bawling parrot,
For decent coat would pay"
"Where, my dearY" replied the husband,
"For a sum so very small
Could | buy coat" The parrot
Quickly answered; "Quincy Hall"
"Quincy Halt" exclaimed the lady.
"Bess my hearti What have 1 heard9

eyes, 1 did," replied the husband,
"And you see the bird is cute;
To Quincy Hall wen hasten,
And there buy Sunday suit"
1t was bought, and fifteen dollars
On the suit he really saved,
Mrs. Jones, amazed, delighted,
Said, you've heretofore been shayedl
"But that darling, little parrot
Which gave rise to such a squall,
Turned your steps from other places,
To the famous QUINCY HALL.
"You have saved the price of Polly,
On your suit, you plainly see
And, at least, five dollars over,
Which will buy a dress for me
"Your expenses now for clothing
Will be very, very small,
And Wen make a pet of Polly

LAcKEY's DIscLosuREs.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times an
nounced that R. J. Lackey, who it was said
had been removed from the Treasury Depart
ment, had disclosed a Southern plot for n
dissolution of the Union. The correspondent
also stated in substance that Lackey had OBJ
tanned the information from high official in
the Treasury Departm ent. The Washington
correspondent of the New York World says,
with respect to Lackey's disclosures. Assist
ant Secretary Clayton (of the Treasury de-
nies any completely with the disunion
scheme. He says he never saw Lackey to
the best of his knowledge and belief. Thus
explodes with great noise but little execution
the terrible reVelatory canard of that gentle
man. Secretary Cobb also denies everything
imputed to him in the New York papers,
touching the disruption of the Union. He
denounces it as an unmitigated lie, made up
of some casual remark of his to the effect
that there would be trouble in the South if
Lincoln should succeed"
