SIR WALTER SCoTT's GBAyE-A correspondent Of
the Boston Traveller writes follows of his visit to
Abbotsford, and the tomb of SCOTT:
To-day, sitting at the window of the little inn at
Melrose, we rest an hour two before leaving
their charming shrInes. Dryburg Abbey, yester-
day evening in the setting sunlight was all that ro-
nance and poetry have pictured it, and Sir Walters
grave. as we stood leaning over his tomb, was
cheered by robin red breast singing loud and clear
in a neighboring tree. Before visiting Dryburg
spent several hours at AbbotsfOrd now seemingly
deserted residence for Mr. Hope Scott and his little
daughter in London, and the place is left with
servants. FOrding the Tweed, just after a smart
shower, which made every bush brighten, andevery
blade OF grass greener, we walked through the ave-
nue. leading to the house without meeting soul
Arrived at the pOrters lodge, no ringing of bells
or pounding on doors, could induce human being
to appear; so we opened the lawn gate and ram
bled about the grounds, not even dog or a cat
coming out to see who were intruding upon the
premises. We thought our visit would be finished,
and we should get away without meeting any one
from the house; but tidy little Scotch dame came
at last, wDng the corners of her mouth with her
apron evidently having been disturbed at her lunch
Notwithstanding she had been Obliged to leave her
ale and sandwich her temper was by no means ruff
fed and in five minutes she became infinitely
tcbiographical, that we had all the items of her
bustling existence spread out like picket map be-
fore us.
'.Sr Walters study looked BE same as when l
saw it ten years ago, but 1Se library seemed less
cared for We went into the room where the min
stre died, and the sounds from the river that
fell on his dying ears came up through the open
windows of the apartmenE The present occupant,
who married daughter a LOckhart, is Roman
Catholic and we were tOl& by one of his neighbOrs
that he was "a guide kind 3lon' Coming away from
the house we fell in with In old friend of Tom Pur-
die who had many good words to say for that
worthy person. He had also known Sir Walter,
but he considered him tao great scholar for so
humble body as himself to be on very familiar
terms with. Abbottsford ia a sad place now, and
one cannot go to it, remembering how cheerful it
was once, without sigh that all have passed away
who were so happy under its roof but a few years
ago.

The ediet of the Douglas Central Executive Com
mittee against any cooperation with the Breckin-
ridge Democracy is followed by another from Mr..
Haldeman tbeiPennsylVsnis member of that COM
mittee, to the same effect; and Mr.. Douglas himself
has authorized the statement that he fully cnncGrs
with those of his friends who resist all propositions
for coalition or union with his Democratic opponents
The efforts made in Pennsylvania towards a COM
mon action of Democrats are. therefore, to a great
extent paralyzed. In New Jersey and in Missouri
the policy of cooperation will be sustained. In
New York all efforts of the kind may fail. 1t may
now be assumed, however, that every Southern
State and the two States the Pacific, will vote for
Breckenridge and Lane. There will be wanting only
twenty-five votes from other States to secure their
election It is quite possible that these twenty-five
votes viii be Obtained even without Pennsylvania
and New York. Ion.

SUMNER PRUNING-FRUT TREEs.-A correspondent
of the RTdl American, says:-I have trimmed at
various seasons and am satisfied that, for several
reasons summer trimming is the best. If you trim
in the winter and before the leaves fairly out in
the spring your trees will throw out innumerabl.
suckers to compensate for the limbs that have been
trimmed away. The stump 8 the limb becomes
dried and CRACKED, and viii tske as long again to
heal oyer as one of the same size the same tree
cut off in June or July If the tops your trees aTe
diving las many are at the present time,) thin them
in the winter, and YOU viii have plenty of young
limbs in year or two, provided the body of the
tree is in growing state, If YOU trim in June, be
careful, for the bark is then loose,
On the same subject the Germantown telegram
says:It is pretty well established fact that apple
trees-and we would add pear trees -pruned from
the middle of July to the middle of August, sustain
the operation with much more advantage than if
pruned at any other period of the year. If pFuned
at this time, the wound will heal over and make,
what surgeons would say of properly amputated
arm or leg, a handsome stump. If the branches be
Topped in winter spring, the stump generally
leaves perpetual scar; and if after the SAP has
commenced flowing, bare bone, as il were, pro-
jecting from the living part Of the tree, and remain

cay continues on. a sort of gangFene, into the
very heart of the tree, much to its injury.
SALT.-Experienee proves that when ehorses or
cattle are fed on dry corn and hay, they viii con-
sumo from two to three ounces of salt Rer day, If
permitted free access to it, and If fed on new hay or
grass the desire for salt is much increased and the
consumption amounts to from six to seven ounces
