until new leaf-buds are sprouting forward which
will take place in the course of 8 or IL days.
Then remove the tree, if possible on a rainy day,
to the place where you wish to have it growing,
put a few leaves of the prickly pear around it to
prevent the cattle from trampling on it and it will
grow successfully. The same method can of
course be employed on any tree of a suitable size
growing spontaneously in forests or elsewhere.
In this way | had about $50 young mahogany
trees transplanted last fall, some of them about 5
feet high, and of which scarcely any has died off.
The cutting off of the leaves Of the young tree
before transpIanting is done in order to prevent
the great evaporation through the leaves which
cannot be counterbalanced by the action of the
roots before the tree is well established on the
new spot and which consequently would make the
tree fade away.
A final observation to conclude with.
1t is very likely, that some persons may say:
This may be all right, but trees are growing
slowly and we do not want to spend labour and
money, however little it may be, unless we can
have the benefit of it next year.
Such remark besides being more that of a for
tune-hunter than of a man who is conscious Of his
duties towards society and ~posterity is a proof
of a deplorable shortsightedness and lack of per
spicacity.
For in the first place from 5 to 10 years will
often be sufficient to improve the revenue from
uncuItivated land tenfold if properly attended to,
and in the other place, even if the present owner
does not derive the whole benefit from the labour
employed on planting trees, still it should be done,
as the value Of land thus planted must be
increasing every year and may be considered like
money put out on accommodating interest until a
certain time, whilst land oyerrun with useless
shrub is becoming more worthless every year.
Every one who takes an interest in tho welfare
Of this island must hope that Doth Government,
the Colonial Council, the Press and the whole
public in general will unite in promoting this i'm
portant question, that proper enactments will be
made to protect every effort in that direction and
specially that our planters will become aware
ofthe Importance of trees to agriculture and con-
slider that it is impossible to force nature exclu-
sively into one direction by destroying tho equili-
brium once established between the different
elements of her household without suffering Sc
yerely from the consequences.
I remain Sir respectfully yours.

died at their residence in North Carolina on
Monday last. They were G3 years old
The former leaves a widow and five chill
dren, the latter a widow and six children,
The widows are themselves twins. The
old question comes up again as to how
far the two brothers were one; born at the
same birth they died within two hours of
each other, although Eng had not been
alling! Were the two one, and ifone, which
one was he? How many were they after
they were married? IfChang and his wife
were one, as the marriage service has it,
and Eng and his wife were one, and Chang
and Eng were one, then it follows that
the whole four were one,-Hero is a pro-

A PAPER CHURCH.

The use of paper as a substitute for
wood In the construction Of railway car
riages has long been known, but the use
to which this material can be put seems
now to be without limit. The Journal of
the Society of Arts says there is a paper
church actually existing near Bergen,
which is capable of containing about 1000
people. 1t is circular within and octago-
nal without. The relieves outside and
the statues inside, the roof, the ceiling are
all of papier mach6, rendered waterproof
by saturation in %vitriol, lime-water, whey,
and white of egg.

ENIHIS Society, which confines its bust
"a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk Of life in the West Indies, and suf6-
ent to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2li6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its'career, during q period Of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe.
and that they do not demand such exces
sive Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure $500, Tor the
whole term, upon a single life =

Assurances Of every description on Gin

any sum from 500 Dollars to 10000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half

Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the pay

pose OF their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain a free Policy
for reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security Of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society,
Strict investigations into The position Of
the Society are made quinQuenniaIly, and

set aside for the purposes Of the Reserve
Fund. The next investigation and D wi

NEW YORK, June lO.-A London paper
has the following: A frightful steamboat
accident occurred a short time ago on the
Volga- The Belisarius left KoStrama at
full speed, the Captain being determined
to overtake the steamers of two rival COM
panies, which had left some time before
him. Near Babaeffshy the Belisarius
caught up with the ProYoray, which had
started an hour earlier, but she had not got
far beyondthis place when the boiler burst
and killed five men on the spot, the owner
Of the vessel being one Of the first victims.
Upwards of eighty men were injured, some
very seriously. These were all taken to
YaraStof, and Immediately conveyed to
the hospital, where eleven have since died,
and several others are in a hopeless state.
Many Of the passengers, terrified by the ex-
plosion and by the screams of the suffering,
jumped into the river, and of these fifteen
were drowned.

A Communist Conundrum.

NEW YORK, June I0.-The Communists
are discussing the causes of the estrange-
ment between ROchefort and Paine, on the
one side, and GrousSet and Jourde on the
other. After their voyage to Sidney, from
New Caledonia, RochefOrt and Paine went
one way and Grousset and Jourde another,
and even when both parties were in this
city they did not visit each other, GrousSet
and Jourde being even guilty of so marked
a slight as not to be present at RochefOrt'S
lecture, Friday evening, nor at his de-
parture next morning. The departure of
GroUsSet and JOurde, yesterday, was uneX-
pected, as was that of Rochefort and Paine.
Saturday, and attracted eveu less attention.

RELGITM. q

LONDON, June 1O.-The Times publishes
dispatch from Berlin, which gives the
probable action of the Congress which will
assemble at Brussels next month, to con-
slider the subject of International rights in
time of war. The Times correspondent
says: The Congress will eOdify the recOg-
nized usages of International law in so far
rs they affect the actual conduct of
war. A new code is to be
enacted in the form of an international
treaty which promises to become the first
law common TO the whole civilized world.
The draft Of the treaty which is to be
submitted to Congress, has been prepared.
1t contains sixteen clauses, which state in
detail the rights and obligations Of bellig-
erents, from the mutual claims of belligerent
States down to the relations of those States
to private individuals. They also specify
what classes of arms shall be legitimately
used in war, and make regulations for the
treatment Of prisoners.
