COMMISSIONER PRATT AND THE PRRsr-
DENr.-The President on Monday last asked
Commissioner Pratt to remove Mai. Clarke,
special agent at San Francisco. The Com
missioner requested that Major Clarke be
retained temporarily, at least, until after the
trial OF certain Illicit distillers whose arrest
he caused, and the President cheerfully COM
piled with the request. The Commissioner
asserts that his relations with the President
are Of a very pleasant character, and that he
Will. OF course, respect all requests for re-
moval or appointment made by him with
good cause, and further that he has no cause
whatever TO tender his resignation, which
entirely refutes the many reports OF his con-
templated resignation on account of the
practice OF the President in directing the re-
moyal OF officers in the Internal Revenue
bureau.

FARMERS ACCoUNTs. especially the
younger ones, will find it greatly to their ad-
vantage to keep regular accounts of all tn cir
business. 1t will keep them informed of which
part of their operations is profitable and which
otherwise, from which they will be enabled to
correct mistakes. Let them keep strict debt
and credit with each crop, field, animal, &C.,
as with the orchard and garden. When he is
about to put in a field of corn, charge it first
With interest and tax on the land, then charge
it with plewing and all other labor bestowed
upon it, with manure, seed, cultlvatng, har-
vesting, &C., till marketed or fed out. Then
credit the crop with the value of the grain and
fodder, at market prices, whether sold or con-
sumed at home. When the balance is struck
it will Enthusiastically show whether the crop is
profitable or not. This careful observation and
knowing the result will lead to better manage
ment, in order to secure profit. Take the
same course with other things-with the or

not be difficult, once you get into the habit of

DEsrRUerroN OF FOREST TRERs.-A cores
pendent of the Sun seems to be fearful that
the destruction of the forests, at present going
on unfortunately, will have the effect in
time not only to deprive us Of fire wood and
lumber, but also to lessen the supply of water
in springs and streams as to make "water
famine" imminent. He says:
ga residence during the past twelve sum-
mers twenty miles from Baltimore, on the edge
of tributary of the Gunpowder river, i'm
presses with some deplorable facts. The
stream becomes higher and higher during rainy
seasons, and lower and lower during dry sea-
sons it becomes harder to keep the milldams
in order, and the supply of water becomes
more precarieus. If this is true of all the
streams, and our city should increase accord
ing to the hopes of even the least sanguine the
day is not very far distant when we will look
in vain fer an adequate supply of fresh water
from our present sources. That the cause of
this change is mainly due to the reckless de-
struction of the forest but few will question:
Will it then be considered unreasonable to- TASK
the Legislature to do something in the premi-
SEES? We have laws for the preservation OF
game, oysters and UNDERGRADUATES, why not
one for the trees? One thing the Legislature
should do at once is to pass law looking to
the planting and preservation of shade trees
| en- all npikes and county roads.
at must be admitted that there is still a vast
| amount of forest even in, Baltimore county, but
! it is the indiscriminate destruction that is to
De depIored, aud what the people should know
is where TO sal lvu a., aud where to spare and
for obvious reasons the hillsides are the special
spots to be preserved if foods are to be pre-
vented, and the springs become never-failing.
Where trees are blown down or cut down in
such localities provision should always be made
for more. Ah;llsde, if at all steep, once divest-
ed of its shade becomes worthless; the sell will
wash and run into gullies, precipitating every
shower into a food, leaving the hill, the source
of the spring to parch under the heat Of q
summer sun /; where, on the other hand, the
rain would frst saturate the trees, then gently
soak into the ground or return to atmosphere.
"The people of the present day need to be
brought to love trees. That they have other
and higher uses than to make material for fuel,
crossties and collins thata tree has living uses
as we'll as dead ones. And, finally, let the pee
pie of the city show the county people that
they themselves love trees. 1t is remarkable
how soon a shirt collar or bonnet that has be-
come fashionable in the city spreads in the
county. Let us have mere trees on the city

The BALTIMORE COUNTY STREET LAVA
special dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette, dated
Annapolis, Feb. oath, says: "a committee,
consisting Of Messrs. Franklin Wilson, John
Swan, William Callow, Henry Tayler and Chas.
G. Kerr, were here to day for the purpose of
comforting with the Baltimore county delega-
ton on the subject of the repeal of the street
bill proposed by Mr.. Baldwin. The interview,
it is understood, was entirely satisfactory, the
misunderstanding IN regard to the true nature
of the bill being dissipated by Mr.. Baldwin s
explanations. 1t was not his intension or de-
sire to prevent development or improvement in
the 'belt," nor to have that portion of the coun-
ty adjoining the city without a street system,
but he simply desired to relieve the county OF
the burden and expense to which it had been
subjected in connection with these streets. He
was willing to introduce any law providing any
system for the opening of streets that property
owners might desire, but with the provise that
none of the expense in connection Herewith
shall fall upon the county. To this prspssl-
ton the committee readily agreed, and thus the
whole object of Mr.. Baldwin's bill will be &C.
complished without interfering with vested
rights or with future Improvements in the
"belt"

NARROW EsCAPE.-Richard W. Pearce, son
of Mr.. John C. Pearce, of the 18th district, made
a narrow escape from what might have proved
a serious accident on Friday of last week. He
was hauling load of wood to Towsontown and
in descending the steep hill on the east side of
the Gunp powder, approaching Cromwell's bridge,
there being no lock on the wagon, one of the
tongue chains came loose throwing the whole
weight of the load upon the other horse. The
breast chain of this horse also gave way under
the load, and young Pearce, seeing his great
danger, with remarkable presence of mind,
dashed the horses into full run, and the way
he came down that hill was caution. The
horses managed to keep out OF the way of the
wagon, thus saving themselves as well as their
driver, who was seated on the saddle horse
No damage was done beyond slight injury to
one of the horses.
