4 Remedy for Blight Of App1e trees
Many Of the apple-trees of this section of
the country are being affected with blight,
the ends of the young and tender limbs
dying in midsummer, and which unless
arrested, will gradually spread until the tree
is destroyed. Many persons have tried cut
ting off the dead branches each year, but
only to find the difficulty increased the next,
showing plainly that the disease is not local
to the limbs but general in the body Of the
tree. Mr. John Chapman, of this town, who
has given much attention to this subject, has
discovered that the trouble has its origin in
the sap or juices of the tree, perhaps grow
ing cut of peculiarities of the soil on which
it Is grown and has devised a remedy which
he has used with marked success and GER
tainty for several years Theremedyis this:
carefully bore hole according to the size
Of the treel half through the body of the
tree and fill it with sulphur, then carefully
close the orifce with pine plug from
fourth to half an inch in length, taking care
not to bruise the surrounding bark always
operating upon the north side to prevent its
being affected by the SUM-, and in year or
two the wound will be entirely healed over
and the tree restored to perfect health and
vigor.-Ak70R Beacon, July II.

The Ague Plant The ague plant has
recently been discovered-not the one that
cures the ague, but the one that causes it.
Here is one plant at least, that we can no.
tice without being overwhelmed with appli-
cations for seed. To be sure it is little
thing it takes a good eve, aided by a good
microscope, to find it, but when found you
cannot be said, 6 It is no great shakes, for
It IS the genuine Shaker seeding itself
DR.. l. Ii Salisbury Of Cleveland, Ohio an
nounces in the American Journal of Medi-
cal Sciences, that fever and ague is caused
by a minute plant which is found where
stagnai water has dried away. The spores
or productive dust of this microscopic plant
are diffused through the night damps5 and
being taken into the system by breathing,
are the cause Of the widespread seourge,
the ague. The habits of the minute plants
completely accord with what was before
known Of the occurrence of miasma and
that they are the real cause of it has been
shown by taking boxes of earth containing
them to places where an ague was never
known to occur. In about two weeks after
the ague plant was taken there, we'll marked
cases of disease appeared This discovery
does not yet increase our knowledge of the
means Of Riding ourselves of the plant but
it viii probably lead to that-just as one. if
he can only find out how he gotsucha cold
is already half cured The spores only rise
IN the night and then To a height, varying
with the locality, Of from thirty to one hun
dred feet This explains why night air
brings on aguc, and why elevated localities
are free from 1t, After the ague seed is taken
into the system, the plants propagated there,
and the patient becomes sort Of animated

Boston State House." Boston is not q
State, and Boston does not own q State
house, There are two "State" houses in
Boston One is situated at the head Of State
formerly "King") street. 1t is an ancient
building, q relic of the revolution, was
formerly occupied by the State. 1t is now
private property, and is occupied for lawyers
and insurance offices. II is about to be re-
modelled The other "State House" is sit
uated on Beacon HILL" the highest point of
land in the Tri-Mountain City. 1t is the
Massachusetts, State House, in Boston, which
is the capital Of the State. The "Great and
General Court" of that ancient Common
wealth convenes there in midwinter annually
and sits until the grass begins to grow green
on THE Common" II the Ledger is not
more careful it will get to calling old "Inde-
pendence Hall" Philadelphia Hall, and the
Capitol of Pennsylvania Harrisburg Hall.
