Laughing gas may produce dangerous

Of vital force, or modifying the condi-

where there is tendency to the hem

on record in which it proved fatal, he

screping and washing Trees.

We consider early winter to be the
hest time for scraping and washing
tbe Trunks of trees tits well-known
tn all observing fruit growers that
the loose bark of trees is the winter
quarters of myriads of insects, where
they securely remain until the ensu
ing spliug. when the warm, genial
weather invites them to their cozy
homes and begin their destructive
operations for the season. We have
found a narrow saw, rather fine
toothed, to be an excellent tool in
rasping off the superfous bark. 1t
accomplishes it more uniformly than
a hoe, trowel, or other scraper; q
trowel or short handled hoe, how
ever, is very good, when the other
may not be possessed After the
bark is removed, the trunks should
be washed thoroughly with prepa
ration of whale-oil soap and water
say in proportion of pound oil the
soap to four gallons of water. 1t
can be applied to large trees with
hickory broom or a stiff whItewash
brush. and to small trees, especially
dwarfs, with the hand scrub-brush.

Tribute to Major Mace.

Without the advantage Of carly mental dis.
cipline Major Mace achieved enviabie posi-
ton in his profession. He was successful in his
practice without being learned or profound.
He was adroit as a lawyer and as politician.
His forensic efforts. and his speeches in Con-
gress, exhibited ability and commanded respect.
In all the public positions he occupied, he main
tanned himself with credit to himself and those
he represented. The party changes Of Major
Mace did not involve personal luminosity. GEM
al and warmheartcd, he held his PERSONAL friend
ships to the last. To his family man could
be more kind or generous. He was devoted to
them as his wife and children were to him. and
if he had fault in that regard, it was over. in
diligence. Having in his earlier years encount-
cred the rough aud tumb Of lite himself it was
his constant effort to make the lives dependent
upon him as free from care as possible. And it
was not to his family alone that he was gener-
Gus. His sy npat HES and purse Were always
free to those in distress, or who needed charity
And his latest utterances were expressions Of
affection and love for his numerous friends and
acquaintances. Sad indeed is it to think that
existence to such a man became weris ,me and
ard that he sought relief by self-destruciion
before he had arrived at the allotted period of
life. We believe that he had not reached three
score years but his life was full of incidents
that in experience he had achieved ripe age
he intelligence of the untimely and sad end Of
Major Mace will be received with unaffected
sorrow by his friends throughout the State,
who can be numbered by thousands, for his ge-
NAL manners and generous nature attached them
to him with hooks of steel. Major Mace leaves
a wife and two sons to mourn his departure to
that bourne from whence no traveller rturns.

of the recent visit of JEFF. Davis to Vermont, as

to consult in regard to an investment in the
gold mines of Hatley. On Thursday, as we learn
from the Newport tVt.) Express Mr.. Terrill,
in his best turnout, took JEFF. about the village
to ride, when several incidents occurred not al
together pleasing, we should imagine. to either
the host or his guest. Not only boys but men
hooted at him in the street, and greeted him
with those familiar words: "We'll hang JEFF.
Davis to sour apple tree" He was frequently
asked where he had left his "petticoats," and
various like remarks more suggestive than plea
sing, everywhere fell upon his ear. One lady.
stung by the recollection of the suffering and
death Of near relative at Andersonville gave ut
terance to her feelings by hurting stone at him.
Permission was asked that jeff. might ride
about the grounds of Mr.. Carlos Pierce, and
take look at his noted herds but the request
was emphatically denied by Mr.. Henry Pierce.

That large majority have accepted the
situation cheerfully, am glad TO say is
true--I mean the situation to earn their

them, that in the long run it will be all
