a@. The public debt of Virginia is
attracting much attention in that
State, it being very large, the ac-
eumulated interest of eight years
having been added to the original
debt, through the inability of the
State to pay it. The Petersburg
lnde.r insists that West Virginia is in
law and morals bound to bear her
proportionate share of the debt, and
it suggests that commissioners be
appointed to take the subject into
consideration and fully empowered
to treat with the new state.

say-In answer to a correspondent
who asks if it is important, in trans
planting trees, that they be placed
in the same position, as regards the
points Of the compass, that they oc-
cupied before, Tilton's Journal of
Horticulture replies as follows:
"No the reason commonly assign
ed is, that the bark is thinner on the
south side; and if turned towards
the north, it will be injured by the
cold. We have never paid any at
tention to this point, but, more often,
have taken care to turn a tree round
In exactly the opposite position to
that it occupied before, in order that
the westerly winds which prevail
here in summer, and had caused the
tops of the tree to hang towards the
east, might, at least, partially restore
the balance and we have never
found any harm from this practice. y
