Tree Planting.

The subject of planting trees has be
come one of so much consequence that
Congress has offered ample induce
ments for doing it in the western states,
and the Legislatures of some of these
states have likewise done the same
thing. So soon as public attention is
drawn thoughtfully to this matter, so
soon will measures be adopted to pre-
vent our country from becoming denu-
ded of forest and isolated trees. The
mere notice of utility will do much i'll
this direction, irrespective of other i'm
portaut considerations.
The need at the west is SO apparent
the question is not so much as debata-
bic, and it is every year becoming so
even in our New England, so recently
but one vast bowling wilderness. The
waste of wood and timber has already
ceased with us, and care for an in
creased supply is the burden of many
minds. There is one, and only one
remedy-the preservation of what we
already have, and positive etforts to in
crease the supply. This can be done
by transplanting, and the cultivation
of, OF care i'll the growth of young for
est trees.
Rough and uneven land, where
there is no wood, by transferring to it
small and thrifty trees would soon be
covered by growing forest, to increase
in value not alone by the annual
growth, but by the enhancing value of
wood and timber. Many years ago the
Cdledonidn often suggested the setting
out of naples by the road side. For
some reason many trees were set out in
this way in this county. Those who
did it can now See the fruit of their la
Dor. Their places are not only beauti-
fed and made inviting, but the trees
are of sufficient size for tapping, if it is
desirable to use them thus. Their in
crease has given value to the farms on
which they are located, which will go
on increasing with the passing years.
Trees can be set with little cost and
trouble. Small, thrifty trees, rather
than tall or large ones, should be Sc.
lected for transplanting, not only fol
the ease, i'll which the work can be
done, but the growth will he more rap.
id. If possible, those should he select
ed that have started outside of a forest
of large trees.
The subject is suggested for the con
sideration of such as have proper places
for the setting of trees. The season il
near at hand for doing it. How many
will consider the subject and act upon

Ship Canal Bill.

A bill is on its passage in the New
York legislature, appropriating one
million of dollars to enlarge and i'm
prove the canal from Hudson River to
Lake mplain-naking it capacious
enough for the passage of large vessels.
In the hearing before the committee
Sir John Young, of Montreal, was pres
emit with maps, showing plans of the
opening, by canal, of II ship channel
from the outlet of Lake Champlain to
the River st. Lawrence-thus giving u
shorter and complete ship channel from
New York City to the great lakes OF the
west. The last named improvement is
known as the Caughnawaga canal. A
change of the name, to make it more
simple, may well be suggested.
The Canadian government would
make this last named improvement but
for the limited means i'll its treasury.
1t is to be done in some way, and when
done it will secure One-half of the car
rying business from the west to the sea
board, and aid in settling the disturbing
question respecting railroad freights.
Vermont has as much interest i'll the
building of the canal from the Lake to
the st. Lawrence as any eastern state.
Indeed, what state, except that of New
York, has any thing like an equal inter
est in the matter? 1t would not exact
ly answer Gov. Clinton's idea of a canal
across the State of Vermont, but it
would scarcely fall much below it III
public Importance.
The mere suggestion of the compile
ton of such a magnificent enterprise
swells, with emotions of pride. the heart
OF every Vermonter. He sees harbors
of magnitude upon Lake Champlain, at
Swanton, Burlington, and elsewhere,
with the whole length of the lake mark
ed with the signs of industry and thrift.
The state had better contribute largely
to the capital of this canal, rather than
not have it completed. Once done,
millions of dollars would be added to
the wealth OF the state, ana every man
who uses a barrel of flour would share
in its benefits.
Vermont is 50 far inland that certain
manufactures, where the raw material
must be imported, cannot be successful |
ly prosecuted unless transportation can
be cheapened. Therefore, if by any
means this obstacle can be removed, it /.
should be done. Water power in the
state is abundant, but unless it can be
used to advantage it is next to useless. |
If we would keep our young men at |
home, create local markets for our sur
plus agricultural productions, aud i'm
part energy and thrift to every possible
branch of business, it must be done by
opening cheap avenues of import and
export, in every way possible. This |
ship channel is one thing that, just NOW,
affords promise of great usefulness, i'll
this respect, i'll the future.

The Salary Grab Question.

party to which they belong.

to prevent the grab" and should have
done it but did not. and indeed some of
them were equally, if not more active,
III bringing about the di>graccful affair,
than amy of the sO-cdlIcd democrats.
That a majority of the democratic
party should use their influence in that
direction, should have been expected,
since Floyd made his grand grab, TAX
ing all there was in the National Treas
ury, and no one of the party was ever
known To disapprovc the act
lou see that although most heartily
deSpise the act in the republicans,
have still less confidence in the nominal
democrats. | say nominal, for the rea-
son that | have been unable for long
time to see any of the leading features
or principles of the old democratic party.
i'll the modern.
! am well satisfied to see all the dis
reputable affairs of the late Congress,
so freely commented upon by the press,
almost universally, and hope their
heavy and well directed charges will.
III due time, produce their desired
effect and further would say that |
hope they will keep the subject before
the public until the meeting of the next
Congress. r.. L.
We have been inclined, as warranted
by the apparent fact, to place the re-
sponSibility of the salary grab just
where Frederick Douglass does, in his
Era, as follows:
Whatever may be thought of the ex-
ira compensation act of the late Con-
gtcss, it is right that the responsibility
for it should be placed exactly where it
belongs. The official record shows that
majority of the democratic members
of Congress roted for the measure, and
that majority of the republican mem
berS of Congress roted against it. But
either party might have defeated it. and
it would have been defeated but for the
votes of members of both parties whose
terms of office expired on the 18th OF
March. Neither can, therefore, be held
responsible for it, and each must have
an equal share for the merit or odium
accorded to the act, as the final verdict
may he.

The SEASON FOR FRUIT.-We have
apprehended that the extreme cold
winter would prove destructive to the
fruit buds. but such does not appear to
he the fact in those sections of the
country noted for fruit raising, except
some of the tenderest varieties. We
have seen no statement to the effect
that the prospect of the most important
and harder kinds of fruit is at all UNI
favorable. The following gives the
general condition of the fruit PROJECT
so far as we have noticed:
j. f. Chamberlain, president of the
st. Joseph fruitgrowerS' association OF
Michigan, announces the result of q
tour of observation through the farms
i'll that region. :" many peach buds
are alive that sangIine fruit growers
estimate the crop of peaches at one
third of full crop; the peach trees
killed by the severe cold were mostly
old and sickly trees. The apples never
looked better. peal trees are uninjlred
grapes promise an abundant crop
Strawberries are in fine condition and
will yield full crop. and cherries and
plums promise equally well.

p Congressman FRYE of Maine. has
written a letter. indorSed hv all his
colleagues, declaring that the consump-
tion of liquor in that state is not one
fourth 50 great as twenty Years ago,
and that the remarkable Temperance
reform is the legitimate child of the
pr"hihitnry law. which has created Il
public sentiment to which opposition is
powcrless.
The foregoing places the advance of
the temperance cause ahead even of our
own estimate, hut We admit that it is
undoubtedly correct, if applied to Gale
donna county. The prohibitory law is
an auxiliary in the progress of the
cause. but the foundation of reform
must rest for substantial basis upon
moral suasion, and the plcdging of
young and old to reject. ut all times
and upon all occasions. the Use of liquor
as beverage. Its Use is an awful evil.
to be rejected as dangerous by every
body.
