Six Reasons for Planting an Orchard

/. Would YOU leave an inheritance to
your children 4! Plant an orchard. No
other investment of money and labour
will, in the long run, pay SO well.
9. Would You make home pleasant
the abode OF the social virtues? Plant
an orchard. Nothing better promotes,
among neighbours, a feeling of kindness
and good Will, than treat Of good fruit,
often repeated.
3. Would you remove from your chill
dren the strongest temptations to steal +!
Plant an orchard. If children cannot OBJ.
tain fruit at home. they are very apt to
steal it; and when they have learned TO
steal fruit. they are in Il i;Iil way to lean
to steal horses.
4. Would you cultivate a constant
feeling OF thankiulncss towards the Great
Giver of all good Plant an orchard.
Bv having constantly before you one ot
the greatest blessings given 10 man, you
must he hardened il deed if you are not
influenced by spirit of humility aud
thank!ulness.
5. Would you have your Children love
their home, respect their parents while
living. and vencrate their memory when
dead-n all their wanderings look back
upon the home Of their youth rs sacred
spot--an oasis in the great wilderness Of
the world? Then plant an orchard.
&. In short, if you wish to avail your
self of the blessings Of Il bountlul Provi-
dencc, which are within your reach, You
must plant an orchard. And when You
do it, sec that you plant good finit. Don't
plant crab.appc trees, nor wild rIuns,
nor dwarf peaches The best are the
cheapest.

'rhe kanawaha Valley.

From the Wheeling Intelligencer, Nov. %:
Recent arrivals Of iDlelligen: gentlemen
from the Kanawaha country give US intorma,
ton OF the condition of things existlrg there.
The picture is hy no means inviting. Gold
smiths "Deserted Village" might appropri.
a.ely be localized in that section. The peo-
pie have had dear bought experience of the
cost of the revolution. From having been
one of the richest, most prosperous, aud, in
many respects 5, one of the most inviting sec.
tons of the State, it has become one of the
most impoverished distracted, uninviting.-
Since early in the summer, the Valley has
been scene of warfare. Wise came among
the people AS a bosom of devastation. He
literally laid bare the country all around
him. His worthless promises to pay are left
wide spread among the people; but, alas
their corn, their wheat, their oats, their hay,
their bacon, their all is gone-to be heard of
no more. He took hoises, mules, and wag.
ons, and impressed them in his service, both
as he came and as be left. He paid for moth
ing the whole time. His cavalry sustained
themselves by depredations first upon one
farm then upon another. They roved from
field to field, and from locality to locality,
like droves Of grssshoppers. They let down
fences, entered in aud fec their horses from
grain in the shock. They took corn aud
oats from the barns. They quartered them.
selves at the tables OF farmers like so many
rdigands aud footpads-never even giving SO
much as slip of Wise's scrip in return. Their
trail was desoation everywhere.

brains, an don't YOU call them capital? p
Oh, but they are not money, you say. But
thcv are more than money. IL you will use

know how to use lheml If you don't it is

first plough or hoe, or jack plane, or broad AZ
that you will fnd and go to work. Your
capital will soon yield yoJ a large interest
Aye, but there's the rub, you don't want to
work you want money or credit, that you
may play the gentleman and speculate, and
end by playing the vagaboul. Or you want
a plantation and negroes, that you may hire an
oyerseer to attend them, while you run about
the country aud dissipate and run in debt ;
or you may marry some very rich girl who
may be foolish enongh to take you for yo,r
iue clothes and good looks, that she may

Go to work with the capital you have, IL
you cant make money on what capital you

. Drunken womauina a R,rn,,y Red

The late Michael Donegan's divorced wife
was found n her house at the ccrnor of Front
and Finch streets Monday night, in fair way
of being consumed by fire, with her house,
Smoke issuing from the windows induced
some of the neghbors to enter, when they
found the floor and bed upon which she
had been living on fire, and the woman's
feet, legs, and hips were terribly roasted =
1t is surmsed that she went to bed drunk
and had barely sense enough to aroused 10y
the burning, and TO get out of bed, when she
was found. She was carried to the house of
Alderman Huntington, where she was cared
for and had her wounds attended to. The
woman has been AN ncorigibe drunkard for
years, /, aud her husband was divorced from
her on account of her Seas;liness. Previous
to this habit, however, she was q very in
dustrous and prudent wife, and her husband,
wi h her assistance, accumulated nice little
property, and they had prospect Of a long,
happy and comfortable life. In earlier years
Mike would have drunken frolics, but he had
become an exemplary man, when she took to
drinking inordinately, aul Mike, in his Ca
pacity as gardner, was general favorite in
town. After the divorce he gave her several
hundred doll RS as a parting Gift. A few
years passed and Mike resumed his old habit
of intoxication, and speedily went down to a
drunkard's grave. What will be the end Of
the wanan it is easy to foresee, unless this
calamity induces her 20 mend her ways,

The Campaign In North western Virginia.
HHi li From the Wheeling Intel gencer

It il understood that the troops of General
Reynolds command are being diysioned for
active service in otl er quarters. of the coun,
try, Oar advices from Cheat Mountain are
that several Of the Ohio regiments are or
dered and are now on their way to Ken
lucky. Others, it is reported will take up the
liue of march ip few days for Gen. Keley's
headquarters at Rowney, ard, in connection
with the force already thcre, commence a for.
warl move ment of the army OF the Potomac.
The advance camp Of General Reynolds,
now holding tho mountain pass, will retain
their position. and will make themselves snug
and conf rtable, and secure in their strong
Iy entrenched block houses. The rebels, who
have heretofore threatened his advance,
have pretty much all dissipated away. Their
own accounts Of themselves, as aseertained
in their captured letters, are gloomy en-
ough. One Of one thousand thee hundred
men in one body, not three hundred were fit
for service.
p No doubt their condition is dcplorahle. -
And it has been so ever since they came to
Western Virginia. In the first place, they
found difficult state of things from what
they expected. They found population
who did not welcome them As deiverers; a
people who bad little or no sympathy with
them. The storms and frosts aud chills Of
Cheat Mountain were not by any means the
balmy zephyrs Of the South. At mid sum
mer, even. their clothing did not suffice TO
protect them from suffering at night. Ad-
ding 10 this their food was lad aud scan
ty. They fell sick on it. And, when they
were taken down, they had miserable atten-
dance. They "ded like sheep" as their doc
tor writes
p The failure Of rebellion in Western Vir-
ginia may be considered complete. Floyd,
poor thief and traitor, has stolen off with
most Of his command, utterly frustrated and
crippled. His course, as also that of Wise,
has been one of constant humiliation. They
have been beaten and worsted from the
start. The campaign in Western Virginia
has been miserable failure. The leaders 90
home t. receive the upbradings and re-
proaches of their papers and their people,
Already Wise is sick in bed-sore at heart
his braggadocio all exposed. Floyd's
private character is bitterly aspersed, and
even among his Contederates nought remains
for him but an ignominious remnant of life.
