This insect was first observed in the year

from four 10 fifteen days, according to the
state Of the weather, verY small worms or

first come out Of their ihells, are Of pale

man replies:
As a general rule, bud when the bark
peels freely, and towards the latter part Of
this peeling season, as the newly formed
buds are tn more mature and better ri.
pened than before, and the cambium or ce'
ment between the bark and wood is tn cker
and causes the bud to adhere better. A lii.
tie later still, when the bark is OF easily
raised from the wood, the operation cannot
be we'll performed, and will be likely to fail.
This period will vary much according tn the
influences which affect growth, as season,
cultivation, soil, &c. but usually the cherry
must be budded first, then the apple and
pear, and lastly the peach. As soon as the
cherry begins to form the terminate bud of
its shoots, budding should be performed; (;
this Is often about or soon after midsummer.
In some places, pear stocks cease growing
quite as early; while in others growth con.
tinues o month later; in the latter case,
the work may Of course be dOre much later.
Budding the peach is usually done in the
last week Of summer and the first two weeks
Of autumn.
The great leading requisite for success is
freely growing stock. On such stock
the bark will peel freely; while on an un.
thrifty or stunted one It will not peel at all,
and the work cannot be done. A sharp
knife is essential for cutting off the bud and
Sitting the bark Of the stock and the liga-
ture must press evenly and with sufficient
force TO bring the cut face of the inserted
bud into close contact with the wood Of the
stock. On a stiff, thick bark, OF with tiff
bud, this pressure must be stronger than
with softer bark, which might lie injured If
too severe.

Rail Road Taxes.

A bill passed the Senate some DAYS
since raising the tax from one per cent
to four per cent on the gross earnings of
Railroad. in this State On its being
sent to the Assembly, the bill was referred
to the Committee on Railroads. who re-
ported back n substitute making the tax
two-and a-half per cent, which amount
the Railroad men who had filed he lobby
were reported as w.llinr to paw The bill
was then referred to the Judiciary Com
mittcc, who reported another substitute
making the tax three per cert Dr. Wv
IAN offered an amendment raising the tax
to -four per cent Mr. PALMER, who
claimed to have figured considerably upou
the matter, thought Mr.. VIVA, talking at
random, without having examined the
matter. We gather, however, from the
published proceedings. that DR. VIyIAS
satisfied the Miluaul gentleman. and
the House generally that he had
posted himself before making the motion
lie showed clearly by their own figures
that even at four per cent the Railroads
would not pay thor proportion Of the taxes
by $4,000 dollars The matter was,
however, postponed until the next day,
when the vote for three per cent finally
carried through the influence Of the Rail
road men present As j consequence
large number Of the members had Rail
road passes, and the Assembly immcdi-
ately adjourned over until the following
Monday at :! ?. n, and the members Of
the Assembly were in for a Railroad ride.

Exemptirg Printers Material.

Our State Legislature appears to be
considerably exercised in mind in regard
to printers After making desperate
effort TO cut down the prices for publish
ing Tax Lists, for the special benefit Of
nonresident spectators, the Senate has
kindly brought forward and passed a bill
exempting printers materials TO the
amount of 81 900 from forced sale We
have no doubt the bill was introduced
md voted for in good faith, but we do not
believe it was asked for by the printers of
the State Should the wise lawmakers
succeed in compelling printers to work
for almost nothing, an exemption law for
their special benefit may be necessary
but if the craft are permitted, like other
mechanics. TO receive a just remuneration
for their services, the printer who would
ask special exemption Of his property,
should be read out Of the fraternity
True, the present exemption laws favor
most other industrial branches to a much
greater extent than they do the printers
for the 5000 exemption covers but small
part of 4 printing Office; vet we cannot
believe the printers of Wisconsin ask
special favors 1t the hands of the Lecis-
lature, not extended TO other classes.
Printers generally throughout the West.
st least, we believe disposed TO pay their
debts as punctually rs other classes of
citizens. though many arc often unable to
do so for the reason that those indebted to
them fail to come to time The back
wardness Of large class Of patrons
to meet printers demands punctuallv,
compels publishers of newspapers often
to ask indulgence Of their creditors, but
for all that, they ask no special cxemp-
ton of their property, As a class print
ers are quite as ready to do Justice to
those who favor them with credit rs those
who ask credit at their hands

The Death of Gen ZoIU coffar

Last evening we had conversation
with reliable gentlemaL who arrived
direct from Somerset, Ky, via Lexington,
and from him we gather the following
particulars of the death of Gen Zollicof
fer, the leader of the rebel forces at Mill
Springs, Ky, on Sunday last Our in
tormant obtained the particulars from
Col FRY. of the Fourth Kentucky Reoi-
Inent, who killed Zollicofer Col. Frv
was lying in ambush with squad of his
Regiment, when Zollico1ier approached Mt
the head of a detachment Of troops, which
detachment was marching rapidly Il ad-
vance of the main Confederate forces
When the General with his advance had
arrived within twenty feet of the ambush
where Fry and his men were concealed
the Colonel spran@ forward and drew his
navy revolver and presented it at the Con-
federate General We may here state
parentheticallv, that Col Frv. who halls
from Lexington. and General Zollcoffer,
were for many years personal friends, and
in their youthful days associates in the
same school
Upon discovering Col FRY across his
path. Gen. Zollicofer threw up both hands
and exclaimed: Hold. FRY YOU would
not shoot your old friend would vou p
AiiCai Ji.-tlii- MS iistllI On IlS pistol
and pointing back to his command. cor
tinued Look, there are all your friends"
which remark was evidently intended to
draw Fry's attention away from him.
while he would improve the occasion by
shooting Fry dead in his tracks. The
brave Colonel did not heed the remark.
