DWARF FRUIT TREES.

CHARLES CITY, Nov. 4, 1861.
FRIEND HILpRErH:- Enclosed l send
you an extract from the last number
of the Chicago Tribune, on Dwarf
Trees, and as SO many of your readers
are interested in the matter, l should
like much to see it in the Intelligen.
Ger: r.
CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Oct. IA, 1861.
In my last gave the reason why
so many thousand trees set in the or
chard failed to grow and produce fruit
So universal and constant has been
this loss that many people have come
to the conclusion that fruit will not do
well on the prairics, and that some
new mode, or new varieties, must be
resorted to to make up the deficiency.
Dwarfing was offered as the panacea,
and directly our eastern philanthro-
pists got up immense stocks of dwarf
apples, pears, cherries and plums.
These were duly sent throughout the
country, and every one who owned a
garden spot was to grow rich with the
Immense crops of fruit that wonld be
produced on his dwarf trees. Occa-
sionally an individual tree made Won
derful returns, perhaps three per cent.
of the whole number. Reports were
made of these cases, and soon moth
ing would do but dwarfs-dwarfs for
the fruit garden, dwarfs for the lawn,
and dwarfs for the orchard. Now,
what is the result of all this !? Has
the amount Of fruit increased, in pro-
portion to the territory, over the stand
ard trees? If we take into considera-
ton the extra cost, do not think any
advance has been made. 1t is true
that these dwarf trees, by receiving
extra care, have more of them surviv-
ed. Yet only small per cent. of the
dwarf pears have produced fruit, a
less number of the apples, while the
cherry has proved decided failure,
and the bad management OF the plum
has given it no advantage.
For the past two years the writer
has given much Of his time to the stu
DIV Of fruit-culture in all it's various
departments. In this cause | have
visited nearly all parts of Illinois; and
it is probable that no other person has
made SO extended a personal exami-
nation of this subject as | have. !

back for Sorfalik. Before that place
was reached, Mr.. Soutag was insensi
bic, and he died soon afterward. His
remains were subsequently brought
back to the vessel, and were inferred
near the observatory
DR.. Hayes visited Rensselaer, Har-
Dor, DR.. kane's winter quarters. No
vestige Of the schooner Advance was
discovered. She has probably drifted
out to sea with the ice. During this
journey the coolest temperatures Of
the cruise were recorded. One day
the thermometer sank to 66L degrees,
and on another to 6s degrees below
zero. The party camped at night on
this as well as OH all subsequent jour-
neys, in the snow hut of the Esqu-
maux.
On the 18th of May DR.. Hayes attain
ed his most northerly point,sl degrees,
35 minutes, ga degree of northing,"
says DR.. Hayes, which l believe not
to have been exceeded, or equaled by
any explorer except Sir Edward Par
ry. The land was taken possession
of in the name of the United States.
with the usual forms, and the flag
which was used upon the occasion has
covered the most northern known laud
upon tn globe"
Although thus early in the season,
the ice in the Kennedy channel was
every where much decayed and unsafe,
and in some places was entirely gone.
In one extensive pool a flock of wa
ter-fowl was discovered. l entertain
no doubt that the ice of Kennedy
channel was broken up and dissolved
at a very early period of the summer
1t was in this channel that DR.. Kane
discovered an open sea at period
six weeks later, in the summer Of
1854. Before reaching the vessel
lost all but seven of the remaining
dogs, and the ice having broken up
around Cape Ohisen, further explora-
tion to the Northward was impossible
during the present season.
The utmost harmony prevailed
among the officers and crew through
out the voyage. The Boston Journal
thus sums up the results Of the cxpe-
dition:
The completion of the survey of
Smiths Sound the discovery of a
new channel at the westward oi
Smiths Strait; the confirmation OF
DIR. kane's theory respecting an open
polar sea the determination of the
magnetic dip /; the declension at ma
ny points within the arctic circle sur
veys of glaciers, by which their rate
OF movement is determined pendu-
lum experiments, and photographic
surveys a continuous set of meteor
ological observations a large collec-
tion of specimens of natural history :
valuable collection of geological
specimens the accomplishment of a
higher north latitude than ever before
attained upon land large collection
of Photographic views of the country,
icebergs and settlements of the ma.
tives. Altogether, the labors of the
expedition have not been in vain, and
DIR. Hayes and his gallant companions
are deserving of generous welcome
at the hands of the friends of science,
and Of Arctic exploration.

tuclly the secession candidate for Congress
held reasonable meeting. Ills friends
and the seccssionists erected on the ground
n large hickory pole and swung ont scccss-

two young ladies' of the village, Alisf---------
and procured two axes and de-
libcracly cut the pole and flag down in
the presence of the whole crowd. The
sccessionists, the same evening, raised the
same ilag upon another pole. The next
morning. while the guard who wore laced
arouncd it were imbbing aud eNuItng in
their success in securing the flag for ono
night, Miss--again cut it down. The
carouscrs reached the point in time to see
il fall TO the dust. She doiicd them, and de-
clarcd that no such flag should float in her
ncighborhood. They removed it to point
some ten miles distant, where they raised
it again, but the same fate by the same
hands attended it, The mountain hrccHcs

The SUMS hot rays were falling fast,
As through Southern city passed
A man, who bore, midst ruwdics low,
banner with this strange motto
SccessiOnl
His brow was sad his mouth beneath
Sinelt strong Of FIRE at every breath,
And like a furious mndnan sung
The accents of that unknown tongue
Secession
In happy homes he saw tho light
OF household fires CLEAN warm aud bright
Above the spectral GALLONS shonc
And from his lips escaped groan--
Secession
"Trv not that ramcl" Abe Lincoln said,
ozark lower the thundcrs overhead;
The mighty North has been defcd
But still that drunken voice replied
Secession
"oi pause" the Quaker said, "anl think
Before thee leaps from oil the brink "
s,corn was in his drunken lccr
And still he answered with q snccr--
Secession!
0Bewarc the PINE rnrr's hris'lirg branch
beware the Northern avalanche J"
And that was Scott's restraining voices
But still il was the traitors choice
Secession
Az the close Of war, as toward their hon,ce
Our troops ms victors hurried on,
And turned to God thankful prayer
A voice whincd through the startled air
Secession
A traitor. by n soldier keen,
Suspended by the neck WAS seen,
Still grasping in his hand OF ice,
That banner with this strange device
Secession
There to the mournful ehbct strung,

Aud from that sky there scene TO lloat
A voice, like angels warning note

DLooD PURIFIER AND BLOOD PILLS

DIR. R0BACK'S SCANDINAVIAN REMEDIES.
When Dr. Roback, the renowned Swedish Ply
scian, introduced hi, Blood Purifier and Pills into
the United States, he set forth in pam terms their
curative properties. This was years ago. Tha task
of recommending them has since been taken out Of
his hands Enlightened men, whose character for
sound Judgment and philosophy gives their opinions
weight IN the community, men who observe, reflect
and make 'assurUucc doubly sure" before they do-
eide, are everywhere approving and urging the use
of these wonderful preparations. All who coufde
in the wisdom and honesty OF this class, or who
choose to investigate fer themselves, of enc
mind on this important subject.
The evidence in the possession of DR.. Robaci
which is at all times accessible to the public, estab-
fishes the following:
That the BLOOD PURIFIER and BLOOD PILLS
have been proved by analysis to
CONTAIN 40 MINERAL:
That they cure the almost universal complaint,
DYSPEPSIA,
with uncring certainly, and in very short time
That after all other medicines have proved useless
they relieve LIVER COMPLAINT
and restore the health and strength Of the sufferer
That SICK FEMALES,
who have languished for years in helpless weak
ness and dcspondcncy, rccuperate with almost mira
cnous rapidity under their inyigorating operation
That all Sexual Disabilities are removed bv their
cordial and gently stimulating properties. That they
