Horticultural Hints.

Weaare now, in the midst of the frosts
ofwinter, butt is not too early to make
} our Preparations, pref for planting the garden.
Seeds not on hand, should be ordered the
present month. We giya elsewher: n
Hat Of sdeirable varieties such as f. We
have found suited to our locality and
circumstances. They will not, all of
them, of course, be found the hest, for all
persons and places, but the list may be
useful, neyertheless, as guide in making
selection from the seedsman's catalogue.
One ofthe principal points.to 5c attended
to just now is ths protection of such plants
,as REQUIRE it against excessive cold.
Every yasden should have cold frame
for tbs Tnssection Of cabbage, caulihower,
lettlcsssFadish, etc. The cold frame is
essentially mere bottonlcss box, With a
sloping op,like that of hot-bed, and
proadedwith sash, or covered with boards
or mating whenever cold weather may
be Indicted, The bottom of the frame
should BE pressed aninch lor two into
the soil. The soil within it should be
made very rich with we'll rotted manure.
In this latitude and, southwark, peas
may be planted from the middle to the
last of the month. To:secure success
ion plant several varieties of different
habits Of growth, for instance: McLean's
Little Gem for the earliest: Extra Ear.
ly, or Dan O'Rourk, and Bishop Dwarf
Long Pod next; and for latter supplies,
Engenie, Browns Marrowfat,; Champion
of England, and Large White Marrow !;
or we may depend fora continued sup
ply upon successive paintings of my
favorite varietyzEngenie, for instance,
which we prefer to all others.
Cabbage plants from September and
October sowings, where one is fortunate
enough to have obtained good ones. may
now beputopt. Unnecessary, give iiy1 then them
protection by throwing your ground into
ridges, running north and south, and
planting them on the west side of each
ridge"aYou, can cover them slightly
with straw in severe weather. They
shonld sproduce fine eheads in April.
Cabageseed; If heretofore neglected, NAY
still be sownin a, cold frame. Try Ear
ly Ulm savoy,aaLittlc Pixie and Early
Dwarf Flat Dutch. Small cabbagcs are
tenderest and sweetest, and much the
best for family use.
EhGtrensplapting Of fruit trees and
grape yihese may be continued through
tha@inters but we consider the season
less favorable than the last month for
that purpose, especially if the weather
be severe. Root grating and planting
the ssesds, Of fruit md forest trees may
now beidoncwith advantage, as well as
pruning and manuring. Get trees from
known and Trustworthy nurserynnen, and
AVOID all tree peddlars. lF.Gas /.

The constitution and bylaws were then

Hon. Josiah Quincy addressed the con
venton on taking the Chair, said he had
spent the larger portion of his life in build
ing railroads, and he felt very keenly the
danger growing out of the immense rail
road monopolics. lie appreciated their
great benefit, but was aware of their dan
ger to the people The great granpries of
Illinois held enough to supply it at cos,
with food, but it depends upon one or two
men to say what shall be paid you for food
when delivered in Eastern cities. He
thought something must be done to take
this out Of the hands of these few men. 1t
was matter interesting deeply the whole
country, md should not be controlled by
few, and the object of this association was
to countcIact the privilege of railroads, he
was in favor to bride the legislature, and
will continue to control the laws until the
people shall have come together and as
serted their rights. The rights of railroads
should not be nfringcd upon, but the para
mount rights of the whole people to cheap
transportation must be asserted and secured.

several parties were admitted as delegates.
