"A Franklin County subscriber lately dis.
continued the FARMER on the ground of its
strong resemblance to the st. Adams Mes.
Senger OF course the compliment soothed
our modification at losing the subscriber,
but we could not help questioning ourselves
and the columns Of our paper as to where
this close resemblance was found. We at
last concluded that it must be in the "itemsp
which both parties steal from the Springfield
Repr6iican. Hence our misfortune. The
way Of the transgressor is hard, but we trust
the Messenger may be spared.

The salary steal perpetrated by the last
congress cannot be charged upon either par.
ty, as party. Men elected by both parties
hal a hand in its passage, and have pocketed
the proceeds. The leader in il was man
sent to congress mainly as a token Of apprc.
citation, on the part Of his constituents, of that
very smartness which he exhibited in en-.
gineering this robbery of the United States
Treasury. But il is to be hoped the people
Of this country generally have higher stand.
ard Of moral and political excellence than
Ben Butler, or the voters of the Essex dis.
trict. No individual or party can be made
responsible for the act, except as he or it
make themselves so by refraining from de.
nouncing it, and by re.electing the parties to
it. The republican journals denounce it as
earnestly as any Of their opponents.
The publishers Of Hearth and Home have
already received orders for more than ten
thousand Of Edward Egglestons last story,
"The Mystery of Metropolisyille, in ad.
vance Of publication, and additional orders
are constantly coming in. The story is at
present running in the Hearth and Home,
and adds much to the interest OF this favor
lite family journal. There is no weekly
more worthy place in every well regulated
home circle,
Many valuable trees have been girdled by
mice during the past winter, and it is impor-
tant, it any attempt is to be made to save
them, that it be done promptly. If the bark
has not been completely removed all around
the tree, it may often be saved by wrapping
the barked portion with waxed cloth, or bind.
ing on plaster Of soft clay or COW dung.
But if all the bark is gnawed of, down to
the wood, it will be necessary to spring in
number Of scions to bridge over the bare
place. These scious should be from the same
or another apple tree, last years shoots of
vigorous growth being used. They should be
sharpened like wedge at each end, aud
sprung into cuts made upward and downward
into the sound bark to the wood with mar
row chisel and hammer Then wax or 9TH
erwise protect the points Of insertion and the
intermediate gnawed portion Of the tree. If
the operation is successful, as it will be if
carefully done, the tree will in a few years
be almost as good as new. But remember,
next fall, to protect your trees from mice,
with laths or tarred paper tied around their
trunks.

There is one obvious, and if not easy, GER
tainly the easiest way Of stopping the sale
and use Of intoxicating drinks, and that is to
stop their importation and manufacture. Yet
simple as this method Of ending the awful
evils consequent upon the use OF alcoholic
drinks is, it is way which no temperance
or teetotal organization seems yet to have
seriously thought Of But we venture to
predict that when women vote, they will
vote the moment majority Of them want to-
and they ought to want to, it for no other
reason, then for this,) this only efiectual way
VW be thought Of, and carried out. Dr.
Matte Wiliams's letter in the FARMER of
April 4, strikes the right note. Alcohol MAJ
be useful in some cases, but it is not aeceSsa.
ry in any, and the enormous injury which it
inficts upon the morals no less than upon the
prosperity Of the country, demands the entire
suppression Of its manufacture, aud of its in.
PRODUCTION from abroad. For manufacturing
and mechanical purposes an undrnkable
alcoholic fluid might be made, under strict
regulations.

CLIMATE FOR INvALlDs.-A letter in the
NewYork Tribune from Mathews Court House,
Va, says:
Coming here three years ago a paralytic
sufferer, aud being ia better health now than
for twenty years past, can safely speak of the
superiority aud efficacy Of the climate for
all those whose ailments require proong
ed absence FROM the North. For consump-
ton, rheumatism, and, may say, near
ly every form of disease, the climate is
most favorable, being neither severely cold
nor intensely hot Death from consumption
is very rare An old physician told ue that out
of population of 5000 there had been but
three deaths from that disease 10 twenty years.
Some thirty years ago few persons came here
supposed to be in the last stages of it, but
they now are living to testify to be genial
climate. Since the war about forty North
err families have moved into the county for
the benefit of the climate, and | have yet
to learn that any are dissatisfied Mat
thews county borders on Chesapeake Bay, and
southeasterly winds prevail! nearly three fourths
of the year. Almost every afternoon during
the summer fine breeze blows from that di-
rection At present, unfortunately, ipvaids
could find no good boarding accommodations,
so that fully to enjoy the climate or reap its
advantages, one should have a home of ones
own. 20:

\ CHANGE. The Pttsburg Dispatch has a
graphic but melancholy story to relate of the
rise and fall Of Pitthoe City, which beats the
histories of all the cities Of the Western plains
But recently the Danforth House and all the
furniture it contained, costing originally $3l,.
QUO, was sold for 500, and that is but an in
stance Of the general blight which has fallen
upon the illuslrous municipality. 1t is rem
uant of old times, and within one month after
the first house was erected, an $4,000 hotel
was built. In two months daily news
papes was established, and in three months
theatre was built Another mouth added
second theatre and an academy Of music,
though they did not get to the erection of any
other academies. In FIVE months the city had
her mud fire extiuguisher, it being impossible
to obtain water in the place The completion
OF the half year saw seventy four hotels and
saloons in full blast, and a population of fifteen
thousand Now she is more like the cities Of
the plain than ever. Her theatres have van
iShed, her hotels have put up the shutters, and
the telegraph has moved out. But nine fami-
lies remain to mourn the general desolaton
and the Pithole and Oleopolis Railroad runs
but one train of cars day, and that for the
purpose of holding the charter. The twiniDg
woodbine is now The principal product at tho
place Baltimore Am.

THE RAIN OF SUNDAY NlGHT--l'he rain
storm of Sunday night was one of the heaviest of
the season, though no serious damage resulted,
as far as can be ascertalned. The rail WY track
on Patterson avenue had large part Of the CEN
ire bed washed out. On the grade from Carey
street TO Stricken an immense quantity OF water
passed down, and the cutters having been OBJ
structed by. the paving stones thrown INTO them
from the street. the water forced lis Way down
the bed of the railway, which was composed nj
most entirely of sand. and easily washed out.
The above, cut from the Baltimore Gazctte
of Tuesday, has some significance in our own
CITY, 10 reference to the "Stone Bridge, at
the upper end of Duke street Three months
ago, to wit: in August, "a rain storm, the
heaviest of the season. washed out the earth
and sand from around the eastern abutment,
and this process has been slowly but surely 60
ing on, without any attempt by the city officers
to repair it aud place the bridge 10 safe con
dition. Another, aud perhaps less violent rain
storm than that in August, may So undermine
the abutuent as to totally destroy the bridge.
An expenditure of one or two hundred dollars,
applied promptly now, mag save the bridge.
It NAV cost more than ten times as much TO
replace it by a new one, and the main entrance
to the city in the meantime be cut off. Let

Police" its COMMITTEE on Streets or the
Board of Public Works." that fifth wheel to
