FREDER1cKroN, April 7, ls66.-Among the visit
ors in town is the Earl of Aberdeen, nephew of
the governor of the province. He has recently
succeeded to his titles and Estates and is now
travelling for pleasure but he seems to seek that
pleasure under the most curious circumstances.
Last Saturday the ship Pomona arrived at St.
John, after very rough passage of sixty days,
from Liverpool or London. On her arrival in the
harbor, number of distinguished gentlemen went
on board to meet the Earl of Aberdeen, who, they
were informed by letters. was passenger. The
inquiries of the captain as to the presence of such
distinguished conepdgnon du uoyage were of
course met with look of establishment; but they
were not long in discovering his lordship among
the sailors in the fore-hold, where he was dividing
up his clothes among and presenting gold pieces
to each of his late comrades. Having bid them a
most aectionate farewell, he Joined the party who
came IN quest of him, went ashore, came up here
IN the horrible mail coach in an unassuming man.

When few days out the Pomona was compelled

when the earl humhy entreated the captain to be
put ashore. But the captain held him to his arti

EFFECTS OF FEAE.-Catharine johnson, of ad-
vanced age, who occupies rooms at Eleventh and
Barley streets, leaped from third tory window
on Tuesday hight, while laboring under fear anI
nervous excitement. She had heard much about
the murder of the bearing family, and was in
constant dread at night of her apartments benp
entered by those who would do her harm. <
short time before she made the leap she heard
voices in the lower part of the house, and fancied
her only means of escape to be out of one of the
windows; but before she jumped she dressed her
self fully, to putting on her bonnet. Strangely
of her wrists only being slightly sprained. She
was taken to the fifth district station, where SHE
remained for the night. The voices which Mrs
johnson heard proved to be those OF occupants o
the house, so that her alarm was entirely ground

TAPPING MAPLE TREES.

Mn. EDIToR Although it may be too late TO do
any good this spring. | beg To differ with you in
regard TO preserving the maple tree for making
sugar from, in an article under the head Of Agri-
cultural, dated April 6, 1866, as | have expert
meuted with the maple, and observed in cutting
the timber in your State and here IN Michigan'-
In every case whore the holes have been plugged
up, or where spiles have been used by driving in
TO the holes, the tree has black or dead streak
up and down the tree from six to twelve feet each
side of such plugged hole whereas by the other
way, viz boring small hole into the tree, and
driving tin or sheet iron spout under the hole,
the black streak is two feet in length. and
often not over four inches.
Now for the reason Medical men and many
others know that if an injury is inflicted in the
flesh, aud the surface healed. or otherwise closed
so that the deeayed matter is not allowed TO es-
cape to the surface, then 1t works deeper and
deeper, until II reaches the more vital parts, and
sometimes causes death. To certain degree 1t
is Just SO with vegetable matter, The tree is
wounded, the sacearine matter issues, and II left
open for nature 10 beal the wound dries up, and
no sour sap held back TO penetrate the grains Of
the wood aud kill the timber Just as far as II goes.
My way is to use a hali-ineh bit TO tap my trees
with then lust remove the outer bark and drive a
metallic spout under the hole It does not pene-
trate, nor even reach the wood therefore does not
injure the tree at all.
nope thal TUG thouHAhuA "nose interest IL - "
preserve their maple trees will investigate the
subject for themselves, which they can easily do.
BY cutting few maple trees that have been
tapped for the last half century by the different
proces they viii 6nd the above 70 be the result
of their investigation.
1 1t would make the heart Of many OF my old
friends in Vermont swell within them to see the
large pine saw-logs in our river, when iammed in
one solid mass Of unbroken continuance, IN the
morning before the men get out to work. There
are eight miles OF logs. The average width OF
the river is sixty five feet, so there are enough
J logs TO make fourteen million feet Of boards des-
tined for Chicago, and before this drive OF logs
gets 10 the lake where they are to be sawed there
will be more than twice a. many more.

TrE New Loan BnI., just introduced, provides
that the five per cent consolidated loan shall be
exempt from state and municipal taxation " in any
form, and also that the bonds interest and in
come thereirom shall be exempt from Z $. taxes.
Query as the section stands whether the states
cannot tax the interest and income therefrom? If
Congress wishes to exempt from all tdres in con-
sderaton of the interest being only five per cent.
why not say So in words that will exclude all
taxation
We hope the Finance Committees of Congress
will consider the expediency of making the Con-
solidated Loan a six per cent. investment, instead
OF five, striking out the section exempting the
bonds from taxation, but providing that they shall
not be taxed beyond other personal property
Let us have a popular loan, which those who have
money will invest in, and those who cannot pur-
chase will not complain Of.
