ABOUT FRUIT TREES. As the late cold
weather has been very fatal to fruit and
fruit trees, too much care cannot be taken
Of them in reference to pruning and cult
walton, to help them recover from the
shock they have received. 1t will be
necessary to replant in many localities,
some kinds Of fruit trees; though great care
will be essential to get young trees that are
not damaged, to plant with any profit.
Trees and plants should be secured from
localities where the extreme cold of Janu-
ary lst did not prevail. If this is done
they will start at once into rapid and Wig
orous growth. There is difference of
opinion as to the time Of transplanting
fruit trees, even among the most enlight-
ened horticulturists. Peach trees should
invariably be transplanted in the spring,
as the tender growth Of the young wood
would hardly bear cold winter directly
after planting. The proper rule to observe
in regard to the planting of apple, pear,
cherry or plum trees, is to transplant when
YOU are ready ana can do so to the best adj
vantage-whether in the spring or autumn.
The earlier this is done in spring, after the
frost is out, the better, as they commence
the seasons growth earlier and can stand
a dry season better.
As it is doubtful whether 1865 viii bring
a full supply of fruit, it is recommended 10
plant the small fruits freely, especially the
strawberry, that never fails. The spring
is the best time to plant this healthful ard

by rendering them an increased bounty,

Taxes in New York are enormous. The
report ofcommittee of the Board of Alder

increase of valuation in six years was
taken in taxes in one year while the ag-

than the total increase in the value of the
property of the city during that period

TIE DYING W1FE.-The following most

wife to her husband was found some
months after her death, between the leaves
OF a religious volume which she was fond
Of reading. The letter which was literally

Of fatal disease had fastened upon the love-

has so ~ften nestled close to your warm
heart. For many long and sleepless nights,
when all beside my thoughts were ut rest,
have wrestled With the consciousness of
approaching death, until at last it has forced
itself upon my mind; and although TO
you and others It might now seem but the
mere imagination Of . girl, yet dear, it is
SO. Many weary hours have passed in

When l returned from the Charleston
Convention in 1860. the people met i'll this
courtyard. Speaking to you now, to-day,
reminds me Of that meeting. There were
then upon the minds Of some OF us appre-
tensions Of not far distant trOuble-Of the
horrors of civil war. Disunion followed,
war came and ruin swept over our south
ern land. Our fields are devastated, build
lngs burned, our sons have fallen IN battle
and the land is full Of widows and orphans.

The resolutions were then UNANIMOUSLY
adopted.
