SETTING TREES.

To insure success in setting trees, begin
early in the fall as convenient. Dig the
holes two and half to three feet deep, and
wide enough to take in all the roots, great
and small, without crowding. Lay the top
soil on one side to itself and the subsoil on
the other side. Have some good loan or
woods earth hauled, and one or two bushels
of it put down by each hole, according to
the size of the hole, and the tree to be set
in it. Let all this be done and everything
is in readiness before the tree is taken up.
In taking up the tree be very careful to cut
as few roots as possible. The larger ones
should be cut with a spade, and the rough
edge trimmed eff smooth with a pocket
knife. The small roots should be unbro-
ken, and if the removal is only short dis
tance, preserve as much native soil clinging
to the roots as possible. Trim the tops of
the trees pretty closely, letting the top cor
respond in proportion to the roots that are
preserved.
Set the tree in the hole to the same depth
at which it grew in its original position, first
filling in the woods earth or loan, in the
bottom of the hole. Then draw in the top
soil and remaining woods earth, shaking it
down among the roots, and pressing very
little. If very dry settle the soil down with
a little water.-BGImer Of the South.

PARIS, Nov. 28.-The Commune prison.
ers, Rossel, Ferre and Bourgeose, were ia
ken to the Camp of Solary, the place of ex-
ecution, under strong escort. A hollow
square was formed by the troops, at one
end of which the prisoners were placed.
The behavior of the three men was most
courageous. The soldiers approached to
blindfold them; but Ferre refused to allow
the bandage to be placed over his ewes, de-
claring that he should look his executioners
in the face. At 7 O'Clock the company de-
tailed for the duty advanced and fired. Ros-
sci fell al tie first discharge, and was in
stantly killed. The bullets did not take i'm
mediate effect upon the others, and as they
were writhing, the same shooting party, in
obedience to instructions, came up with pis-
tols,and gave the coup de grace, to put them
out of their agony. The bodies were then
placed in plain collins, and Immediately re-
moved. The execution took place in the
presence Of 5000 troops. A profound SEN
sation was produced through the city by the
details. The death of young Rossel is much
lamented.

The Elements of Revolution.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 2S.-The agitation
against the Ministry is unabated. Petitions
to the King for the dismissal of the minis
ters are pouring in from all places in the
country. An immense mass of people are
assembled in front of the Palais de La Ma
ton. The appearance of the multitude is
threatening, but there is strong force of
troops on the ground and, although they
don't attempt to disperse the crowd, they
have so far succeeded in preventing violence
to persons or the destruction Of property.
Cries of 'Resign! Resign!' are heard on
every side of the place. The temper of the
people is dangerous and the situation criti-
cal. The impression is that the Ministers
will yield and tender their designations to
the King.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The journals of this
morning reflected the uneaSiness which is
concealed by no one, in regard to the Prince
of Wales. 1t is represented that rumors
are current at Windsor that the Prince was
worse, and that much alarm was felt at the
castle. This, coupled with the announce
ment that the Queen would probably
remain all day at the Princes residence,
strengthened the impression that the crisis
of fever was at hand, but the latest bulletin
states that the Prince of Wales was able to
sleep during the night, and that the fever
is lesSening. 1t is announced that the i'll
ness of the Princess is not serious.

Directors of the Midland Railroad Com

newspapers comment on the transaction in
unqualified terms. 1t is suggested that all
news dispatches undergo a special registra-
ton at the offices where received, the par
ties sending to be required to give war
rantee of good faith or evidence of author
ity to send news dispatches, and other pre-
CautiOnary measures are recommended.

Incidents of the Fire.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-During the investl-
cation to-day of the origin of the fire, John
Sollam, keeper of the Lake Crib, which is
two miles from the shore, testified that from
II on Sunday night to or 5 o'clock Mon
day morning, perfect shower of immense
shingles, all ablaze, passed over or fell on
that structure. A tremendous sea was
running at the time, and it was impossible
to leaye the Crib, and he was occupied all
the time sweeping the brands off of the
roof. But for this the structure would
have been destroyed, and the keeper and
wife would have perished.
Another witness stated that the Courthouse
roof, the old part, was tar-covered and this
added to the fact that the cornices were all
of wood, rendered it an easy matter for the
building to ignite.

AWAsHfSeToN telegram states that a
decision Of considerable importance to all
persons who have purchased lands in the
Southern States at sales by the Federal
Government for taxes, was decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States on the
27thinst., ON an appeal from a claimant
whose land had been sold by Federal tax
commissioner under the act Of 1862. A
deed was given BY two Of the three com
missioners who were authorized TO sell. Two
questions were involved-the validity of the
law and the validity of the deed. The
Court sustained both, and held, as the sale
was made by public act, it was entirely
competent for two of the three commits
sions to convey title. The virtual effect
of this decision Is to give all the present
owners of these lands fee simple in the
same. A good deal of property is held in
Virginia and South Carolina, and perhaps
other Southern States, under these tax ii
ties.
