Now is the season for planting out
fruit trees. Tho Greene county ReDub-
LicdR makes the following remarks.

ginia: S@iESllsi rs IlEGIlI
"A WORD To FARMERS. There is n
scarcity of fruit in this county tic
present year. from the failure of the
crop; but this should not discourage
the farmer, Now is the time to trans
plant fruit trees, and 1t should be ut
| tended to ut once. A few trees put out
every year would repay the husbnnCl-
man. 1t would produce profitable
incomol and advance the value of tho
firm. affT = = ~
We are told that pears are very scarce.
but we see no reason why this should
be the cnse, when SO many young plants
can be secured wherever an old tree
exists. They can be grafted in due
course of time.
Peaches, must be cultivated every
! ScHEs 1--WE uo +uOI WISH. 70 lose their
delicious fruit entirely. 1t would be
well for every farmer to train n little
nursery oflis own, and by the grating
process he can soon supply the wants
of his family and the public generally.
Pittsburgh will soon call upon this
county for fruitto supply, in part, her
numerous population, and our farmers
would do we'll to turn their attention
to that market. Our river townships
already reap the fruits of her valuable
trade -
The three classes taught at Canons-
burg CWashington and Jefferson Coll
lege) now number as follows, viz: Sc
niOrs, 42, Juniors, AZ, Sophomores, 43.
5nThese three Glasses have received
during the present session, an addition
of fOrty7siXt students, exclusive of
those that went thither from Washing
ton. The Freshman class, with the
Preparatory and Scientific depart
ments taught at Washington, are in nn
equally 1lOurishing condition.
Rev. DIR. Scott, late President of
Washington College, who now takes
control of female seminary Mt Nor
gantown, in this State, is thus hand
somely alluded to in the Reporter:
tsThe people of West Virginia and
Western pennsylvania will show them
selves sadly wanting in appreciation of
true merit, if they fail to extend To him
a liberal patronage. Twelve years ago
he came among us II comparative stran-
ger to assume the Presidency of WASH
fngton College,. During his admins
trutionsthe college labored under serious
disadvantages for want of ADEQUATE
pecnniary support, yet in spite of this
drawback, he raised tho standard ofed-
ucation, and by his indomitable energy
his devoted and preserving efforts, gave
to the Institution n character it had
never before attained. 1t was under
these trying circumstances that he ex-
hibited those qualities of head and
heart which so greatly cndeared him to
the better class of our people, A pro
found scholar, an accomplished instruc-
tor, n devoted christian, n firm and i'm
partial, but Mt the same time kind and
humane disciplinarian, he won the con-
fidence and respect of nll whose good
IOpinion it was desirable to have.
| Among the many esteemed friends who
| from time to- time have gone from
among us to take up their residence
elsewhere, there are none. whose de-
parture we more sincerely regret than
| that of DIR. Scott"
Rev. DIR. Breckinridge has not rs yet
reached ,Canonsburg TO assume his du-
ties rs Pastor OF the College, but is ex-
pected in n few days.
The Charters Valley railroad, eX-
| tending from its junction with the Pan
handle road to Washington borough, is

be paid down and the balance In sixty
