The olive tree grows in all the countries

France and Italy.
The celebrated American horticulturalst,

olive could be successfully cultivated in some

NEWARK, n. j., Nov. lst
At the hospitable mansion of our neighbor,
Mr.. ii the New York merchant residing at
East Ridge, on the passaie, | enjoyed the
pleasure, yesterday, of dining with Lady
franklin and her accomplished niece. You
may naturally imagine that my ears were
attent and eyes open, to hear and see the
noble woman, whose fame is world wide, and
whose undying devotion to her husband has
teen exemphfed 10y acts as heroic and per-
severing, as were ever exhibited by the most
self sacrificing women of ancient or modern
times
Lady Franklin is now little over 90 years
of age, and although Time has furrowed her
brow, and deep atfliction impaired a sad and
careworn expression to her features. still she
looks well, and were one ignorant of the
history of her physical sulferings and mental
anguish, she would not appear to be within
score of years as old as she really is. She is
a woman of genius, of refinement, and of
brilliant conversational powers, but wthal
peculiar, and if may say so, respectfully,
rather notonal and set in her ways" Al
though by no means taciturn, she did not ap-
pear yesterday as communicative as some of
her sex that might mention. Her manner
is digniied, and her whole bearing that of a
high bred, educated, and accomplished En-
glishwoman.
The niece Of Lady Franklin, who accom-
panies her, is a charming lady, graceful in
demeanor, delightful in conversation, and
withal devoted to her venerable and honorcd
aunt, whom she treats with that Difference
due her position, and which is the distin-
gushing characteristic Of the thoroughbred
daughters of Albion. You may not be aware
that she was al,ianced to the First Lieut.. in
Sir Johns Expedition, and to this day mourns
him as her husband.
1t is their intention to leave shortly for the
Pacific coast, and, it is needless for me to say,
that your whole-souled Califoruians will give
them hearty and cordial reception They
look forward to their occidental visit with
great interest, as do we to their return, and
