WE would call the attention Of the
public again to the fine assortment of
fruit trees for sale by Mr.. j. w. Cook, Of
our village. Mr.. @. has taken the ut
most pains to procure the best varieties,
and their cultivation has been under his
own supervision, and moro healthy
growth can no where be found than in
Mr.. Cooks nursery. A special advan-
tage may be gained to persons purchasing
trees of Mr.. G. BY being raised here
they become acclimatized, and are much
less liable to loss than those received from
more eastern nurseries. Aud, again, the
trees can be obtained at any time when
the purchaser is ready for them, and thus
the long delays avoided consequent upon
transportation by railway and other pub
lie conveyances, to the great injury Of
the trees. To those wanting trees we
would say, give Mr.. Cook call.

Capital and labor are not asesssari1y
at war with each other, The capitalist
and laborer are not necessarily at war the
one with the other But the labor tarsd
isat swords points with capital sntared
We arc willing TO share our portion Of
the burdens Of the Government We
have more than our portion now. This
truth is 50 plain that no argument can
make it clearer; therefore, on that point
We dsmasd our'rights. Capital must be,
shall be the basis Of taxation. MI. A.
has 100000, with which be buys Of the
Government 100000 in bonds, bearing
six per cent. interest ingold. Because he
buys these bonds, the government ex-
empts that amount from taxation, thus
giving to the holder an annual income Of
$4,000 in gold, with full exemption from
taxation. B. has house to live in. That
house is taxed to pay AS interest. 1t is
taxed TO defray the expenses of the Stale,
the city, and the town, while A. pays
nothing. e
The holders Of these bonds are few in
number compared with the scorkers in
the country, with whom they have no
sympathy. They are privileged class,
and their demand Of the nation in its
death grapple with treason to be thus ex-
empt from sharing the burdens Of the
war, as prerequisite to the loan, was an
unpatriotic demand. ss
Compliance with it unnerved The arm,
and, for the moment, wrote despair upon
the faces of all who toll. M
That demand of privilege walked the
masses. The farmer at his plow, and at
the fireside with his children condemns it.
The mechanic feels it in every stroke Of
his hammer; in every purchase Of the nee
essaries of life for himself and family he
pays for it. All the producers Of the land
were struck down together. s
And they will rise together from the
shock, they will think together, talk to-
gether, and work and vote together, until
once more Capital shall become the basis
of taxation Workingmen's advocate,

TnE body of man, evidently murder
ed, was found, on Wednesday last, by
Mr.. Warner, while engaged in hunting,
near Bass River, short distance from its
mouth, in the town, Of Robinson. The
body was lying on spot surrounded by
thick bushes and behind log. II bore
the marks Of violence. What seemed
bullet-holes exhibited themselves on the
head and neck, and wound, as if made
with some heavy weapon, appeared across
the nose and cheek. The man is repre-
sented as Of medium stature, stoutly
built, sandy hair and whiskers, and from
thirty to thirty-five years Of age. He
was well dressed, wearing black broad
cloth coat and pants, q dark velvet vest
with small white spots---no hat or cap
found with the body. When found the
body was yet frozen, and the features
fresh and natural. An inquest was held
on the body. the result of which we can
not ascertain. There are, however, strong
suspicious that the man was murdered for
his money. He was evidently . stranger
in this section Of country.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that the Coroner's jury found no
marks of violence upon the body Of the
deceased, and that exposure was the prob
able cause Of death. II is most likely
the unfortunate man was insane.

BRAZIL AND PARAGUAY

The war fever in South America Is in
creasing in violence. There is said to
be much apathy regarding it among the
people of the Argentine Confederation,
who are slow in joining the army. In
order to stir them up General Urquiza,
formerly the President, has issued a
proclamation, in which he says that he
considers the contest against Paraguay
so sacred that he would go to join the
legions in the field even if he should be
deserted by his own children. The Ar
gentine government has made arrange
ments for raising troops in Europe. In
order to drive the Paraguayans out of
the Brazilian province Of Rio Grande,
the Emperor has ordered that every fiji
man there must be put under arms, and
thirty thousand from other provinces
must march at once to assist them.-
There is strong feeling against the of
ficeholders and gentry in Brazil, because
they do not exhibit proper war spirit.
President Lopez, of Paraguay, is dis
playing the most extraordinary vigor in
his efforts to meet the assaults of the
three Powers by which he is assailed.
Every man and boy capable of service is
being put into the army, and the neces-
sary agricultural work is to be done by
by the women. 1t Is thought that sLo-
PEE has nearly one hundred thousand
men under arms, and he is well sup
piled with war muteria of a very excel
lent character.

The SAUSAGE Case. 81 Yesterday the trial of David
