We notice but one orchard In our village

tains solitary fruit bearing pear tree-wc
think of the iron gray variety. After years
of toll and trouble, K S. Weenan, Esq
has succeeded at last in raising about a
peck of pears. His place, on the South
Side of the river, is a beautiful one aad
as if to make amends, his shrubbery and
shade trees make up in luxury to the eye,
what his fruit trees lack in luxury to the

"a road is being pressed from Milwau-

extended We are bound to seek connection;
and if Manitowoc sleeps much longer, il
may find the main line of the Milwaukee

its own road in this direction abandoned

Tennessee BANKRUPT.

Tennessee is unable to pay the interest
on her public debt, due on the first of the
present month. The Radical State au-
thorities have collected millions in taxes,
but they have squandered it all, the
school fund, the revenues, and, besides,
the credit of the State. They have filled
their own pockets, but the treasury is
empty-and we see the same thing in
every Southern State where the Radicals
have control of the treasury. A Southern
paper says: "As the Northern holders
Of the Southern State bonds nearly all
helped to establish the corrupt govern
ments now in existence in the States Of
the South, we cannot regret that they
must share with ia some of the evils Of
the rule they have fastened upon US"
The failure of Tennessee to pay the
interest on her debt is of course unmiti-
gated raseality and nothing else. More
than enough money for all Legitimate
purposes has been wrung from the people,
but the Radical fnnctionaries had no
doubt that they could apply it to more
profitable uses than the payment of inter
est on a public debt We have no idea
that Tennessee ever will pay the interest
on her debt, unless she shall first be re-
deemed from Radical rule.-Louisuill,
Courier. Journal laE
