Fellows in the Peach.

If you. dig around peach with the
yellows, you will be first struck with a
mushroomy smell Picking out the roots,
and examining them with lens, YOU will
see millions Of thread-like fibers, which
are the "mycelia" of fungi. These eat
the young fibers, and leave only the main
roots, through which all the nutriment of
the plant has to be gathered; and as an
old root is unable to do much more than
draw in water, the tree becomes in a
measure starved, and the leaves become
yellow, just as they would be if growing
in poor syil, which, though the plant might
have plenty of roots, furnishing nothing
for roots to eat. To leave plenty Of roots
and no food is equivalent to having plenty
of food and no roots. The effect on the
plant is just the same. Remedies which
look TO the destruction of this root para
site are employed. Hot water has done
it, so has weak solution of salt; Others
have found solution of potash succeed.
The exact nature of this fungus, so far
as we know has not been in yestigated
to entire satisfaction. Fungi are very
polymorphous. This one may enter into
the circulation of the plant, and exist
IN that case as an apparently distinct
species, extending through the tissue,
and destroying it as it goes. This
seems likely from some experiments by
Dir. Thomas Taylor, of the Department Of
Agriculture. At any rate it is generally
believed that bud, or even knife used
in pruning diseased tree, win communi.

Citizens Temperance Meetings.

Another large audience, composed of the
best citizens of Portland, gathered at Congress
Hall last evening" to listen to an address from
Hon. George W. Woodman, and Others
"a. 81. Burgess, Esq was introduced as the
president of the evening. In assuming the
position he announced himself as in hearty
sympathy with this movement, and pledged
his cooperation.
Prayer was then offered by Rev. DR.. Smaller.
Hon. George w. Woodman was then intro
duced, and expressed himself as gratified for
the privilege of this opportunity of addressing
bis fellow-citizens upon the great question of
temperance. He thought the bright cay for
this movement was now dawning. 1t is now
too late for business men to take the "rum-
side'' of this question. The young man look
ing for situation in business house is crit-
cally examined as to his habits, and if his
breath is tainted with liquors fumes he is told
:" We are not in want of any more help at pres
emit" He eloquently illustrated the great
progress that had been made in the habits Of
the better classes by description of the Gus
toms of our citizens in his early membranes.
He demonstrated the fact that two years. saw
ings of the money spent for intoxicating drinks
and the time wasted in debauchery. would pay
our national debt. He had great hopes for
the ultimate success of this great cause He
would not say what trials and sacrifices we
should be called upon to make, but in the
end God would surely give US the victory
The audience rose and sung 'tHold the Fort
with great JUNCTION.
Thomas Quint, president Of the Dry Mills
Reform Club, was the next speaker, and an
nounced himself as a man rescued from the
ranks of the drinking army, and as anxious to
do all in his power to assist others to regain
their manhood and independence.
VIM. Dow of Dry Mills also made very &C
ceptable speech. He said the people of his
town, and of the entire state, have taken a
deep interest in the success of these meetings.
and were watching anxiously the results that
must flow from such movement as this.
HI. M. Bryant closed with an appeal fol
signers to the pledge, which was generously
responded to-
The meeting this evening will be addressed
by Joshua Nye of Augusta, a. A. Sborey of
