What more gratifying retrospect can we
81 years ago the writer came from an adjoin-
ing town to the then town of Worcester with
an Unborn taste for fruit culture, having been
situated in a neighborhood where for those
days there was considerable, and he having at
the age of twelve years, in connection with a
brother fourteen years old, planted a small
nursery of apple, peach, plum and cherry
trees; pears then being beyond his ideas
that is, of too slow growth-yet he did cul-
tivate few, taking them up from some old
trees where they sprung up from the roots.
The culture Of the various fruits in Worcester
in 1882, considering its favorable location. was
in very crude state, there being but few at
that time who did anything more than to take
a little care of few old trees that somebody
before them had been bold enough to set, as
was then considered, for the next generation.
But the few who did take an interest in con-
nection with the new corners, and the spread

The latest report from democratic sources
in regard to the election in New Hampshire is
the following -
CoNcoRD, n. H., March 1.-THE election
in this state is still a very close thing. If
judge Eastman is not elected governor by a
majority, he will only want few hundred
votes. His plurality will be from 1000 to
5000. In the first congressional district, after
making corrections in this mornings returns,
it is probable that Marcy (democrat) is elect
I ed by from 200 to 800 majority. 1t will take
the official count to decide the second and
third districts.
In the house the republicans will have near
ly as large majority MS last year. They
have carried some 60 members, by from to
20 votes in each town. The senate may
stand six and six. Perhaps the republican
and Hartman party have secured or OF
the II members.
The latest report from republican sources
is this from the office OF the Concord States
man -
CONCORD, March IL, P. Mo choice of
governor. We shall have 1 majority of the
council and senate, and our majority in the
house will be nearly as strong as last year,
Rollins and Patterson (republicaus) are elect
ed members of congress, and the first district

SECEsH VOTED BoRE.-The London
correspondent of the Boston Post bears testi-
mony to the striking reaction in England
against the secessionists in the following sat
isfactory terms -
''There Is a complete change in public opin-
ion growing up, based on emancipation. Call
1t absurd, call 1t tanatical, call it what you
please, the anti-slavery spirit here is voting
secesh bore, a fallacy and swindle. There
is large national emancipation society here
in London that numbers many leading men,
and there are also local emancipation socie.
ties in Liverpool, Manchester, and other
places. and they are all having meetings, and
they exercise great influence. The move.
ment is best illustrated by the rolling up of a
large snow ball; it gathers bulk and weight as
| it proceeds. Even the Times is forced to no
tice the current of popular opinion. One Of
the speakers at the emancipation meeting al
| st. James Hall this week. in alluding to the
attention shown Mr.. Mason, the secesh EN-.
bassador, who was invited to dine with the
| lord mayor, said we could not find in the in

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE quicksilver
mining company hold their title under Mex
lean grant to Justo Lavios, which was confirm.
ed by the supreme court of the United States
several years ago. The only contestant was
the Almaden company, holding under the pre-
tended grant to Castillero, which the same
court has just decided to be void. The title
of the quicksilver mining company having
been finally settled, the patent will issue
as soon as the survey is perfected.
The yield of the mines has been from a mil
lion to a million and quarter annually. The
quicksilver mining company have claim by
virtue of this decision upon the Almaden
company, for all the proceeds of the mine, for
over ten years, to which the stockholders OF
the quicksilver mining company are entitled.
Gen. Fremont has not as has been stated,
recently been examined by the committee on
the conduct of the war.
The senate will close its session this week,
probably Tomorrow.
TO the great qualification of the soldiers,
Adams express has delivered during the last
ten days an immense quantity of boxes and
bundles to the army, and Gen. Hooker, So
licitous for the welfare and comfort of his
men, has made ample provision for the speedy
distribution to the various camps of all arti-
Giles hereafter sent through the express.
committee of the chamber of commerce
had an interview with the president yesterday
at which they urged him to make arrange
ments forthwith to issue letters of marque
and reprisal under the recent act of congress.
Their arguments are understood to have made
strong impression upon Mr.. Lincoln. A
contrary view was, however, subsequently
urged by senators who were prominent in OPP
