IuF PRESENTATION OF FRUIr TREEs.
The Farmers Club of the American In
stitute, of New York, recently held "A
meeting. at which a discussion took place
on the best method of destroying curcuiio
on fruit trees. One of the members stated
that If u hole was bored Ia the body of the
tree and filled with sulphur. it would 80
infect the tree that no insect or worm
would live upon il. Upon some doubt
being expressed IA to the efficacy, he said
that he had tried the remedy, and spoke
from experience. The chairman remarked
that, If this he II sure preventative, it was
worth millions to the country. and we need
never lack a supply of fruit In the future.

The Last Fray In Tennessee.

From the Tribune.
\ We are in the frequent receipt of both pub
lie and private complaints from either faction
IN Tennessee of the outrageous and sangui-
nary doings OF the other. Usually, we believe
both. That is to say, we believe the Brown
low "Unionists" are too hard on their s'con-
servative" adVersaries (who are mainly ex-
Rebels) where they have a clear local prepon-
derance; and we are very clear that the
conservatives" are at least as outrageous
where they have the upper hand. The State
this day ought to be under military rule with
General Thomas fully authorized and en-
powered to do whatever shooting and killing
NAV be necessary. She was restored TO self
government altogether too soon, though we
thought otherwise at the time. We do not
iustify or excuse the Unionists when they do
wrong: but il is very clear that the massacre
at Franklin last Saturday was of 'conserva-
tive" or Rebel origin. Look at the facts

THE State House, says the Indian-
apohs journal, is now ready for the
occupancy of the Legislature. Rev.
B. +. FOSTER, the present State Lii
brarian, has been busy at work for
several weeks past in putting the old
house in good repair. In the Senate
Chamber and Hall of the House, the
ceiling has been repaired and repaint
ed, the walls repapered, and the pill
lars cleaned and put in something like
architectural order. The old time
candle gas jets have been dismantled,
and something less offensive put in
their stead. The desks have been
vanished and covered, and the floors
and halls covered with handsome
carpet or mating. The committee
rooms have also been refurnished in a
neat and convenient manner for the
business Of the Legislature.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-01-09

The Eighth IT January is no longer
recognized as day of Importance by
the Democracy of Indiana. Jack
sonian Democracy may be classified
with the things that were, but are not
so far as this State is concerned. In
other States, however, the traditions
and holy days are properly preserved
and observed. In Michigan the De-
mocracy celebrated the day by grand
banquet, presided over by FRANK
BLAIR, ST., the former editor of
JACKsoN's organ In Washington
also grand banquet was to have been
held, and we presume was. At the
latter the President and Cabinet, Elk
Presidents, with numerous Major and
and Brigad er Generals were ex-
pected to participate. We suppose it
was grand affair, and that the Presi-s
dent was toasted as being a second
edition of JACKSON revised and cor
rected."
