STiik Sla.vk tiiamt.*?The brig Lucy
jititi, of Boston, Massachusetts, with ft
crew of 11 persons, 30 passengers, nnd
647 slaves, was captured on the 20th
February Inst, by the British steamship
Battler, nnd sent into St. Helena. "When
sho arrived there, there were three other
American vessels in the p6rt which had
been condemned for being in the slave
trade. One of these, the barque Pilot,
wns also fro n Boston. The place from I
which the others hailed is not stated: but I
thero can scarcely be u doubt (bat they
too belonged to the abolition regions, and
were fitted out by those who have a horror
of slayer)'?except when an honost

[Cincinnati Enquirer.
PjcAcn Trkea.?We aro informed,
says the republic, that. Mrs. J. L. Allen,
of Klbei t county, while oxpurimenting
upon 1-osk! cuttings, bus discovered a new
nnu snouiu it prove succefalul generally,
n most valuablo plan for growing poach
trees from the limbs.
The method vised by this lady is euhKtnntially
na follows: A trench is opened,
into which the lower onds of the limbs of
the length of six to ten inches are placed,
and the trench is then filled with pulverized
charcoal and dirt. This should bo
donu in October, when tho leaves have
fallen from il>? f rons "R.f ?!??>?

spring, roots will Imvc boon formed, and
nnd the limbs may bo transplanted in the
orchard.
This, we think, is a new and valuable
method for growing pnnch trees, requiring
less time and trouble than any other
plan. We trust that homcof our horticultural
friends will experiment upon it
nnd report to us the result.
