LINE AnoUND ArrLE TREEs.-We
have known some farmers to make it
a regular practice, for succession of
years, TO throw caustic lime around
their apple trees in the spring and
summer. We noticed that tree stand
ing in the immediate vicinity of our
dwelling had, all at once. put forth
with renewed energy, and We were at
loss for some time to define the
cause. On examination. We found q
quantity Of lime, which had accident
ly been spilled, and rendered worthless
by becoming mixed with the refuse on
on the stable floor, had been thrown
at the foot and around the tree, and
to this. as the principal cause, we i'm
mediately accredited the reyi,iscence
and renewed fructification of the tree
Taking the hint from the accident,
We purchased twelve casks of lime,
and applied half q bushel to each of
the trees in our orchard, and found
that it produced Immediately benc-
fetal effects. Not the health of the
trees only. but the quality OF the fruit
also was greatly improved. This ap-
plicaiion will be especially beneficial
In soils where there is redundancy

wise our farmers. in some places, es-
pecially in new forest lands recently

What Cong ress Ought to DO for the
Soldier

Congress will assemble al Washington on
the Sd OF July, and in view OF this fact we
take the present opportunity to call the at
tention OF Our western members TO many
important matters demanding their attention.
1t is nearly year since the passage Of tie
bounty law Of July 2sth, 1850, and ye; very
few bounties have been paid. Let Congress
therefore provide in some way. for the more
prompt settlement Of these claims. Soldiers
discharged for disability before the expira
ton oftwo years, have never received anv
bounty, and are not included in the act Of
July 2sth, 1866. Why these men who were
thus disabled should be LETT out is mystery.
And We do not believe that Congress in end
ed to cut of that class Of soldiers. We
should be doing less than our duty if we
failed to call the special attention of our law.
makers, to this forgctfalness on their part
and TO remind them of their duty to the dis
abled soldiers, many OF whom are still suf,
fe.ing from diseases contracted in the ser
vice. Again those men who enlisted after
July Is, 1864. and were discharged on ac,
count OF Government no longer reqirins
their services, were refused the balance OF
bounty promised them ,ckile all other sol>
diers so mustered ont Wcre paid cN the Joun>
" promised. There is certaa,5 no reason
why this distinction should be made and we
call upon Congress to fright this wrong"
Again, j. has been decided, that where sol
diers (entitled to bounty died since tie t,os-
sage Of The Act Of yuy -, 1866. their heirs
are not entitled to the bounty. We cannot
see the justice Of this decision. and therefore
call the attention of our aw.makers 10 it. If
members Of the Congress cannot eq,sali-c
the bounties they can certainly remedy these
evils. Again, on the Seth Of Nav, 1865.
Secretary Stanton issued an order giviu.
three months Extra Pay to all Prisoners OF
War. Soon thereafter the paymaster Gen>
cral issued the circular which ap

lar (which governs tie Pay Department.

ira pay, not through any faul, Of their own
but because their final papers" DO not
show BY special remark the extra par 10

hcer failed to do his duty. the soldier must
suffer. Will not Congress see that Justice is
done to our brave bows who suffered in rebel
prisons. Soldiers Friend.

Tnr Great CsTnoilc AssrMs1AcE At
RoNE.-On Saturday there came together in
the great church of st. Peters. AZ Rome. one
Of the most magnificent ecclesiastical assem-
blages over witns ssed since the Council OF
Trent Many thousands of priests and four
hundred Bishops are collected in the Papal
capital from all quarters of the Christian
world. Never belsre probably have the
ministers Of the Catholic Church congrega>
ted around the throne OF the Supreme Pom,
tiff IN such imposing numbers, and never
before have representatives from such wide
ly distant congregations of the faithful met
together in the ancien, met, opo,s of the
church.
This great assemblage is the more re-
markable as it is no general council, and
has not been ftrmally summoned. The pur-
pose is to witness the canonizaion OF seven
new saints, and to celebrate the eighteenth
centenary Of the martvriom Of st. Peter.
1t is held in response 10 an invitation. not a
command issued to the Bishops in Decem.
ber last from the Holy See. The details OF
the ceremonies of the day and the results OF
this grand ecclesiastical assemblage we shall
know hereafter.
