Stonewall Jackson.

Gov. Kemper of Virginia has
communicated to the legislature oi
that state information. conveyed
by letter from the Hon. Mr.. Hope
member OF the British Parliament
for the University of Cambridge,
that bronze statue Of heroic size
of Stonewall Jackson, designed
and executed by the late Mr.. j. III.
Foley, II. a., Was '.tfered as ,rib
ute OF English admiration and
sympathy Tor the acceptance OF the
Common wealth. Gov. kempcr
says: The statue is represented
by competent Judges to be most
imposing and beautiful work OF
art. 1t was procured through sub
scriptions spontaneously organized
among friends OF Virginia in the
mother country who admire the
character and love the memory of
our dead hero. 1t remains ;or the
state to accept this splendid gut,
and to guarantee It's erection on
some conspicuous site within the
Capitol grounds. 1t rcvives no
animosities OF the past, it wounds
The sensibilitics of no ood
man of whatever party or see

memory Of jackson. Ill the world
knows that the earth beneath which
his bod s. hes covers tho ashes of q
patriot and hero whosc greatness
shed luslcr OH the age il which he
lived. iils example belongs to
mankind, aLd his deeds and virtues
will be cherished by all the coming
generations OF the great American
Republic, as among the proudcst
memorials oi common glory.
Many others are now the objects
OF higher hOnors and louder praise,
but when the accidents Of trtune
and success shall no longer deter
mine the value of prncIple and
achievements, when the names OF
others now more applauded shall
have been swept into oblivion by
the baud OF time, the memory OF
Stoncwa'l Jackson. like that Of his
great commander, will continue to
grow brighter as the centuries pass
INTO history. You can make no
wiser expenditure OF money than
that winch serves to pcrpe,ually
recall the example Of this great and
good man, and o incite our chill

VALUE OBJ EVERGREEN TREES AMONG
Fruit TRNEs--A well grown evergreen tree
gives oil continually an eXOdium Of warmth
and moisture that reaches a distance Of its
area in height; and when the tree planters
advocate shelter belts, surrounding a tract Of
orchard or fifty or more acres, when the IN
hucncc of such belt can only reach a distance
of the height of the trees in said belt, they
do that which will prove of little value. To
amcloratc climate to assist in prevention OF
injury against extreme climatic cold IN win
ter and of the irostng of the germ bud OF
the fruit in spring all orchards should have
planted, in and among them unfortunately,
evergreen trees at distances each of not more
than $50 feet apart. Such course pursued,
we have no doubt, will render greater health
to The trees, and be productive Of more regu-
lar and uniform crops OF fruit. At all events,
it is worth trial, and we shall be 6 lad if our
