ro-ma Of Peace.

1eEuAb VI 49,
We AVE had a Seven Years war and
A Seven Weeks war in Europe: now, in
these last DAYS, when science has increased
our facilities for numbering and for rapid
ity of action, the events of years are con-
denssd into days, and we have had our
Seven Days a Hardly a week had
elapsed after the commencement of actual
hostilities before the battle of Sadowa
convinced the Austrians of the folly of
further conflict, and the war was termin-
ated by the cession of Venetia TO France.
We say the wal is terminated for though
the belligerents differ very greatly in
their views as to the way in which its
results should be apportiOned, we have
very little doubt that under the auspices
of neutral parties a basis of agreement
will shortly be arranged. Austria is very
anxious to conclude peace: and announces
that she will quarrel with no terms which
leave her a first class power. Prussia
Wkh her needle-gun as an ally more pow
than any Continental power would be,
is the victorious master of the situation,
and if her terms be not too rigorous, they
must in the end be complied with. Italy,
defeated, should be glad to accept Venetia,
even though it come from the hands of
Napoleon, and thus gain the ultimate Oh
ject for which the war has been pursued,
without the risks and bloodsheds and
possible failure which a continuance of
the war would involve. We think,
therefore, that there a be little
doubt that the fighting is over, and
that the peace-making will be successfully
completed. But if this be a mistaken
forecast, and if wal should break out
agafn, II VIII Dc
scale, and with additional powers engaged,
which may entirely change and reverse
the present prospect.

The AnnIe Tree Hight.

Many of the apple trees are being al
fected with blight, the ends of the young
limbs and tender twigs dying in mid sum
mer, and which, unless arrested, VIII
gradually spread until the tree is destroy
ed. Many persons have tried cutting OFF
the dead branches, each yesr, but only TO
find the difficulty increased the next,
showing plainly that the disease is not
local to the limbs, but general to the body
of the tree. The trouble has its origin in
the sap or juices of the tree, perhaps
growing out of peculiarities of the soil on
which it is grown. The remedy is this;
Carefully bore a hole from half an inch
to an inch and a quarter according to the
size of tree) half through the body of the
tree and fill it with sulphur, then carefully
close the oriiice with a pine plug from a
fourth to half an inch in length, taking
care not TO bruise the surrounding bark,
always operating upon the north side of
the tree to prevent its being effected by
the sun and in a year or two the wound
will be entirely healed over, and the tree
restored to perfect health and vigor.
Among the G~arabaldian troops you
come here and there upon sprightly good
looking Vivandieri, whose costume con-
sists of 4 hat, with a feather in it, red
jacket, short green p%etticOat, with a red
border and a kind of turkish trousers.
One Of these Amazons is described as hav-
ing an eve peculiarly flashing, and from
whose girdle progruded conspicuously n
long dagger, which the weaTer looked
singularly capable of using.

CUTTER FASTENER.
Patent Gutter Fastener /!
The most Durable, the Cheapest, and
the most Simple Of any mode now
known for suSpending Tin
Cutters or Eve ,TrOughs.
II is strong and not visible TO the
sight.

THE MODE OF SUSPENDING
Cutters according to the YapP's patent is as
follows: Across the top OF the Gutter, at about
from 6 TO 10 feet apart, according to the size and
length, is soldered q half-inch tin tube. Through
this tube a rod or bolt of THE required leL 9Th, with
q thread on the end, is put through and screwed
into the ~studding plate or rafter Of the building,
TO which the gutter is suspended. The gut
ter is held to the rod by a pin, which Is put
through a hole in the tube. and q corresponding
one in the spike By simply pulling out this pin
with the finger, the gutter could be taken of and
slipped on again without any difficulty, thus rem
dering it easily repaired or painted. By this
mode the gutter is held stif1y in its place from
year to year without any change in its position.
zach rod which ~sustains the gutter will support
the weight OF a nautilus giving an idea of its
strength The whole tastenings are out Of sight
entirely, thus adding to the appearance Of the
gutter.
By the old mode the gutter is suspended by hav-
ing a strip of tin banded around it and nailed to
the building. Soon the nails get rusty, and the
band slips of. The wind operating on the gutter
gradually turns it around AID twists It about so
as to make it useless. In proOfof this look at the
thousands Of cutters hung by the old process.
Below is appended the certificates of Architects
and Builders certifying to the superiority Of
1app's Patent Gutter Fastener:
We, the undersigned, Architects Of Cleveland,
having carefully examined into the merits Of the
above mode of Hanging and putting up Cutters,
are confident that it is superior to the old
mode, and we cheerfuIly and consoientiously re-
commend it the public.
