We recently saw on the farm of C. B. Clai

tree, with wide spreading branches aid of uxu.
rant growth, which presents phenomenon in
the science of dendrology hitherto unknown, to
us. About quarter Of q century ago, rs tradi-

this tree, in which a beam was inserted TO be
used IN prizng tobacco. The beam was subse-
quently removed, and in the lapse OF time the
hole closed up, and now hardly trace of it re.

no kernel has ever been found in any OF them

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7.

The Richmond Enquirer thinks that good
deal Of that part of the address of the Conser-
vative committee which goes into rehearsal OF
the past, might as we'll have been omitted, and
that the ''past wrongs" are getting ,iresome.
1t says: There is one class of gentlemen who
never tire OF talking about the past glories OF
the country whose history closed when the re
cent War began, and these will not believe in
the remoteSt possibility of future for the pa-
ton. Then there is another class who we're
mixed up in the events which Immediately fol-
lowed the war, and who perhaps suffered by
them. These have their grievances which they
never tire of relating They will bore you by
the hour with stories of the hardshps to which
they were subjected by the infernal Yankee
provost marshas or judges, and remble as
they refer to their narrow escapes from confs-
cation, Imprisonment, and even death. These
two classes Of people are enough to dampep
the ordor Of almost every young Virgipian
vino desires to drive ahead and do something
for himself" The past is useful for the les
sons it teaches and as warning for the future,
but to be holding it up always as bug bear, is,
We agree with the E ~qurer, rather depressing.
The lesson has been learned; let US profit by it
to the extent of keeping out of danger in the
future. We do not say let the past be buried
forever, but let Us learn to forget the wrongs
we have suffered and forgive our enemies as
We hope to be forgiven.
