WASHINGTON, July ga letter has been
received here from Major-G General Magruder, |
late of the Confederate Army, asking a
friend to intercede with the u. S. Govern
ment in his behalf. Writing from the City
of Mexico, Gen. Magruder says:
II want permission to return to the U. S.
The Imperial Government has gone to Hell
and has no money, and we have to get away
from here. Many have already left Gen.
Price, myself and a few others remain, but
We must look out for some place to 90 to-
There is no hope for any thing more here"
"A great deal Of labor and trouble can be
saved by heaping sand or earth around trees,
at this season Of the year, before the fly which
produces the borer, appears, which, as is well
known is the last Of July. By doing this,
the fly is compelled to lay her eggs above the
earth or sand, and at point on the trunk
easily seen, aad the eggs or young grubs can
be removed. Mr.. Kenr;ck, of Dover, Mass,
who has one of the finest orchards in Norfolk
county, told us that by this method, which
he practices every year, it did not take him
upon an average more than FIVE minutes to
a tree, and in his whole orchard of two or
three acres, not borer could be found. ~.
