ForneXEIected Clerk.

By the politeness of Mr.. ROBINSON of the
Telegraph Office, we learn that Col JOHN
W. FoRNEY, of the Philadelphia Press, was
elected Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives on yesterday friday afternoon. We
are glad of it, for Mr.. FoRNEY merited the
honor, for his valuable services in resisting
the Lecompton iniquity, and his fearlessness
in opposing Mr.. Buchanan's despotic policy.
This will go hard with old Buch-worse
than the election of Pennington.

He1. One of the neatest and most inter
esting periodicals that has come under our
observation for long time, is the "Student
and Schoolmate," published by ROBINSON,
GREENE & Co., Boston. For youth it affords
a most attractive bill of fare, and as the
subscription price is quite small, we think
no family ought to be without it. 1t would
add much to the attractions of home, and
the youngsters would gather around the
fireside to peruse its entertaining pages, in
preference to tostrolling the streets, and spend
ing their time in frivolous amusements.

VALUE OF SHADE TREEs.-Very few own
ers of real estate in country towns seem to
have any idea even of the commercial value
of shade trees. One piece of ground, per-
haps not very eligibly located, commands
high price, while another in n far better po-
sition, is not wanted scarcely at any rate,
especially by those who have the means to
make considerable investment simply be-
cause there are no attractive shade trees,
nothing to make house pleasant out of
doors. Suppose every inland town in the
United State should appropriate the sum of
one hundred dollars annually, to be invested
in this way, in beautifying and enriching
the place, what change ten or twenty
years would produce. Take away the mag
ni6cent elms and other beautiful shade trees
from New Haven, Norwich and other New
England towns, and you would reduce the
value Of real estate at once at least twenty
five per cent. We call attention now to the
subject because shade trees are now appre-
ciated. Those, therefore, who realize how
much pleasure they are denying themselves
will please remember at the proper time, in
the fall or spring. to give the matter their
prompt attention. Reader, man or woman
1--WE say woman, for we have recently seen
three of the finest elms we ever beheld
which were planted by a noble woman
nearly one hundred years ago. whomsoe yer
you are, we mean you.-N. y. Independent.
Our citizens will do we'll to read and heed
the above. Entirely too little attention is
paid to beautifying our city by means of the
cultivation of shade trees. Spring is COM
ing, and we hope to see more interest taken
in this matter than seems to have been felt

The Benevolent Association.
The Ladies of the Benevolent Association
will please remember the meeting on Tues

the Lecture Room of Mr. McCarers Church
We hope all the members-but especially
each one of the twelve who have been APP
pointed Managers-will be present Ifthey
can not come, nor labor in their appointed
field, it is desirable that they send in their
resignation, that others may be elected in
their places. Some of that number, we are
glad to state, have been faithful to their
trust, have, through the liberality CT
those who have contributed of their means
to the Association, been the means of re-
lieving many of the poor and suffering in
our midst
The Association would beg leave to in
form the public that they have large guam
tity of CHECK SHIRTS on hand some of which
will be found at Mr.. Sellmans, near the
Postoffice, or al. the Auction Rooms, and at
Kratz & Heilmans Office, on First street.
Will not our citizins, who have any pity
for the poor in their hearts, take these shirts
off our hands, and thereby enable us to go
on in this work of mercy We do not ask
you to give more than thar1 are worth
They are-with the -Nception of very

to be hoped that each member will come

CITY Items.

HGy@ We ask those who expect to attend
the Board of Trade meeting, tonight,
whether it would not be we'll to make the
above organization General Business Ex-
change, to comprise all business men P
There is just as much need of our Mechan-
les and Manufacturers having an organiza-
ton and daily intercourse with each other
as our Merchants. In Cincinnati and other
large cities, they have their separate organ
izations, but this place is not large enough
for that, and as the different interests are
not antagonistic, and may work advanta-
gecusly in conjunction, would it not be well
for them to do so?
The Daily Produce and Merchants Ex-
change, in such case, would be Daily
Business Exchange, held at regular hour
each day, at which Merchants, Manufactur-
ers, and Mechanics would meet together
for mutual consultation and business trans
actions.
Reports might be made daily or weekly
of the receipts and shipments of produce,
merchandise, and manufactured articles,
and of anything else of general interest,
which might be entered upon regular books
kept for the purpose. These reports the pa
pers would cheerfully publish, and thus the
business of the city Tor the bulk of it) would
be effectually made known.
Manufacturers and Mechanics are invited
to attend tonight We hope they will be
there in great numbers, and take an equal
interest with the Merchants in the advance
ment rf the city and efforts directed to that
end

EGy~ We learn that the prospects of the
election of Hon. JOHN D. DEFREEs, of In
dianapolis, as Printer for the National
House of Representatives, are fattering-
Nothing could please us better than his cleo
ton. If ever man deserved to be reward
ed for great sacrifices, and long, faithful
services to his party, Mr.. Defrees is the man.
He has done harder and more work for the
Opposition than any man in Indiana, and
has received less for it. We hope to hear
soon that his star is in the ascendant. He
is practical printer, has had long experience
in carrying on the business, and would fill
the position well in every respect.
