CRY OF LANCASTER:
RecIaimiks Sld orchards.-. 0

NAtChhAtuAus Otu OAesAohocen =
) Eight years since 1 purchased, in a
small town in Massachusetts,, farm con-
sissing of about forty acres, and Ofa light
sandy soil. On this was an orchard Of
about seventy trees, which the neiglibor-
ing farmers thought entirely wor.hl ss,-
had not thoroughly examined them at
that time, but in the early part OF April
made up my mind to try to reclaim the
old orchard, although the trees were COW
cred with moss and dead bark. Two thirds
of the top Of the trees was dead, AMI sew
eral of.hem had large cavities in the trunks
However, / put the iron scrapcr to work
and took of all the moss and dead bark.
then scraped the butts Of the trees un'il
they became smooth, then trimmed the
dead limbs; made a compost Of clay, pat
and muck, oil soap and gre COW MA
nure, mixed and stirred well with water
and used common whitewash brush to
wash the trunk Of the tree with this prep
aration. / then spread thirty cords Of
peat muck aud lime, mixed thoroughly;
then ploughed the. orchard with a large
plough, which turned a furrow twelve
inches deep, cutting eff the roots without
regard TO size. The object in cutting of
the roots is to have new fbrous rojts
grow. which will give vigor to the tree
The result OF the experiment was the,
first year l had but few apples; the next
/ carried to market one hundred bushels
Of the fairsst of apples; the third-thert
being heavy gale in The month Of Au
gust, which blew off about sixty bushels
Il gathered some twenty or thirty bush
els for cider, and sold that same fall on'
hundred and forty dollars worth Of ap

Several letters from Somerset and Stanford, dated

the Union forces, under Gen. Schoeif, have been
compelled 10 retreat this side of Somerset, and that
the rebels 10, 900 strong have crossed Cumberland
River and are marching on Somerset. Men, women
and children are leaving Somenet in every possible
conveyance, and rushing into Stanford.
The Stanford people think that Gen. Schoe0
should be reinforced and The. Democrat editorialy
thnks that Gen. SchoeTs purpose in falling back on
Somerset is 70 catch zonicoAer in a tap.
The Commercials Frankfort dispatch says the
conduct of the President in modifying Secretary
Camerons report, and the grea, confidence which is
placed in Gems Mcclellan, Buell., and Halleck, are
having the influence to calm the anxiety of the
Union men. If the Government adopts the policy Of
Mr.. Cameron, it would demoralize, if not destroy
