Tree DestrOyeP.-At this season of the
year when other work lie slack farmers should
look to the preservation Of their orchards
a1d ornamental shubbery and clear them of
the destructive vermin that in tests them
Often times orchards are killed out not by
Incidence, but by a lack Of knowledge in the
science of arbcricnlture, which is as necessary
to be known to cultivate a thrifty orchard as
il is to grow any other thing under any special
science Trees like beingsare at seasons afflicted
with pestileEce destroying life if not properly
treated at the particular time. Now is the
time to watch for this years crop of borers
If you will look at the base of the tree You
will see little deposit Of chips, which will
indicate their location. They can be removed
with knife without injury to the tree They
will appear like worm, one-third Of an inch
in length Most persons neglect this operation
till Spring, by which time they will have
made large cavity in the tree, and done
much injury. When they remain two years
they become large worm, and do great in
Jury to the tree. We have heard many COM
plants from those who have suffered within
the past few years from their ravages, and
admoush our readers who have young
orchards 10 watch their trees. II grass grows
around the tree, draw it away, and The borers
may be found even below the surface Of the
ground

Nobody Indicted.-Just before going to
press last week we noticed that the Grand
Jury, after reporting all business finished, was
returned 10 its room by order Of the Court to
inquire through whose neglect Of duty it was
that the Jail was kept in such a miserable con-
dtion. 1t continued in session until late 10
the evening of Thursday considering the mat
ter, and then informed the Court, without in-
dieting any body that it mad no further report
to make. The Jury was discharged.
COmmissioners.-At a meeting Of toe
County Commissioners on Tuesday last the
new Board was organized by the reelection
Of Mr. David Griffith as President and Jos. A.
fancy as Clerk. These two appointments were
eminenily fit to be made and will give general
satisfaction TO the public. Mr.. fancy has for
many years kept the books and accounts Of the
county in such perfect order as TO render his
services invaluable 10 all who have business
with the Commissioners.

Thanksgiving !-The heart Of Rockville
leaped with joy as the rosy-cheekpd and
cherry-liFped morn Of Thanksgising-Da Day was
ushered in The bretzes were burdcned with
the peqls of bells that nowhere rang their
joyful welcome to the heart of gratitude The
streets were crowded with the humble wor-
shippers, who had taken their last lingering
look in The lfe-sizcd mirror to see that fashion
displayed Them in her loveliest, who were on
their way 10 church nowhere. The faithful
ministers knclt before the affairs aud their
voices were heard breathing the prayer Of
Thanksgiving nowhere The sweet notes OF
choristers as they swept back and forth along
the bars Of operaiic music TO the artistic &C
compartment Of giant-lunged organ were
heard nowhere. The pivot-working heads OF
the supplicating congregation, which divided
its affection with mathematical nicely between
The voice of eloqueuce, clothed in rhetorical
beauty embelished with all the brilliant gems
Of thought and lovely flowers Of language, as
it painted the blessings Of bcnedccnt Provi-
dence was heard nowhere. Tue solemn, snnc-
tilted tone Of beuedction, as it dismissed the
prayerful congregation, fell like the music Of
an angels mercy upon our ears nowhere. Al
the dinner-iable around the roasted turkey we
heard the voice Of gossip discussing the
the plumage that adorned the enrm Of late
church goers nowhere. Solemnly like the pail
Of death the mantle Of night descended, and
the last echoes Of Rockvlle's gratitude burst
ing from the stentorian lungs Of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the Constitu-
tisnal right of religious freedom struck upon
the organ of hearing we sank to our slumbers
wondering il the rest Of the country had so
faithfully observed "Thanksgiving-Day."

worthy of an older head. 1t is surely an able
hit at the brainless monied arstocracy-aris-

From the very conservative man
agement by the present administra-
ton, of county and town affairs, as
well as the improvement in ths gen
eral outlook for property, non-resi-
dent owners ought to feel treasured,
and no doubt will, and hence in all
likelihood the receipts for taxes
here for 1877 Will not be diminished
below those of the past few years.

Mr.. STINsoN AND HIS TAXES. "A
gentleman who lately conversed
with him informs us that Mr.. James
Stinson expresses himself as strong
~ opposed to paying any more
taxes here, feeling that his immense
property in and about town is a
dead weight, of no present yalue,
and that money paid in here for
taxes is simply so much thrown
away, as it is expended only to sup
port the town and county officera
who levy and collect the tax, and
not for improvements or bene-
fits Of any kind to him or his prop
erty. Mr. Stinson has paid no tax
es here since those for the year 1872.
and is delinquent for 1873, 1874.
1875 and 1876. His property has
been sold each year at tax sale, the
county being the purchaser for the
greater portion each year, all OF
which it now holds except acme OF
the best lands and lots which have
been assigned to individuals. AS
Gu inducement to Mr. Stinson to
settle up,the county board at meet
ing held on the second of April last
passed resolution offering to allow
him to pay all back taxes at twenty
five cents on the dollar of the face
Of the liens, counting no interest,
providing he paid up within fifteen
days, or at thirty cents on the dol
lar without interest or limit as to
time. Up to this date Mr.. S. has
not aVailed himself of this very lib
eral offer. On the contrary be has
apparently taking no notice of it,
but has through Isaac |. Moore and
George w. Perry, his attorney, in
stituted suits against the county
board, county clerk and individual
holders of tax liens on his property,
to set aside the taxes altogether. If
one half Of the complainant allega-
tons of gross irregularities, omis-
sions, determinations against non
residents, and fragrant wrongs can
be substantiated, the court. it seems
to rs, when the case comes before it,
viii knock the taxes and tax liens
higher than Gilderoy's kite. Of
course in case the taxes are set aside
The property will be re-taxed for the
years released, but it gives the
owner time, and an opportunity to
again in due time contest the taxes
so relieved, and so on, ad is.fn5tat,o.
And the parties who hold the tax
liens adjudged void, come back to
the county fer the amount paid and
seven per cent per annum interest,
We are sorry to see this state OF
affairs. Mr.. Stinson owns more
valuable lots ii the town and lands
adjoining lin fact his lands form an
almost perfect Gordon ground the
western and southern borders of
the townsite, fer some tracts of
which he paid IS high as 510o per
acre IN 1850 than any other one in
divldual. For many years he paid
hom 81, 500 to $4,000 oftaxes and
only quit when ne became satisfied
that further payments of the kind,
were to say the least. improbable
investments. We do not believe in
