ii? ibis county, has always Wen a warm abolitionist.
He if nn uncle of Edward Coppie, and
wont on to Virginia for the purpose of bringing
homo the remains of his nephew for interment.
On his way home lie was.detained nt Wellsville
for a couple-of hours, and lii.Tt had a conversation
with Mr. T. 1>. Uwnon, in tvliieli he said,
" 1 come home n converted inan. Hie V.'rginSns
arc as kind-hearted and Christian a people A? 1
I'ver was among. Our anti slavery agitation at
' the Jiorth is all wrong. Lam satisfied it has put
hack the cause of tlie slave, and I am going
home Ui do what I can to put it down, and I
t hope thee will do the same. I ain satisfied all
Virginia wants is Christian treatment, aud at the
proper tiiqy, she will do more for the slave than
we over can." Mr. Coppie never before had
opened his eye* to the disastrous consequences of
Northern fanaticism, hut now having learned
then), like an honest utan, lie will endeavor to
put down agitation. There are a great many
pcoplo of the same class, and when they get
luirly to understand where they are drifting,
they will cut loose from the rampant Abolitionwist*.
and set to work to create a tone of healthy
conservatism,?Xeic Lisbon (Ohio) Patriot.
Eloping Wives.?The English papers are in
come tribulation -regarding the elopement of*
wives who have had large fortunes settled upon
them, and recommend alterations In the law in
regard to these settlements. A distinguished
lawyer writes to the Loudon Times, Hint in the
~r - i l 1 -?
v.'<u;u ui vA|icrience 01 nearly 4U years,
lie hns seen a very large number of case* privately
arranged separation between husband and
?in*. In every ense bur one, the wife bad a provision
iiidejH-ndent of her husband; and In almost
every case the wife wu the " chief wrong
doer." So high an authority as Lord St. Leonard's
is against the lirst trust ot the wife's portion
being for .her separate use. In his I.or?lrhip's
little book of Property Law, he writes:
"Such settlements are not to be encouraged;
they lead to disputes between man anrl wife in
after life. They tend, in short, to destroy the
true rdition between husband and wife."
Dratii of Mr. E. I). Brxson.?It is with
the deepest ropret that we aunounce the
dentil of Mr. E. B. Benson, one of the oldest
nnd most respected citizens of Pendleton vil-.
lage. lie died on Sunday morning last, at
the advanced ago of three seoro and ten.? i
Mr. Benson was in business at Pendleton I

community will he deeply felt. AfOne time

hope some fiiend bettor acquainted with the i
deceased will prepare a suitable tribute to

Fire.
On Monday afternoon last our town was alarm. '
cd l?y the cry of " Fire," and for a few moments 1
there wat quite a stir?such an one as the alartn
of fire alone can create. The fire originated in
the roof of tin- smoke-house on the premises of
the Editor of tlie Kutrrprise, but was soon xlis
covered and extinguished. Only a few of the
hoards were burnt?no particular damage done.
The wind was blowing, and it is quite fortunate '
that the flames were extinguished so early.
Returns to Spring Term. t
Return day is over, and no great deal of dam- t
age has been done that we hove heard of, the I
amounts sued upon being generally small. Some <
150 cases returned for this District Of this num- <
ber, about 60 arc "writs," the rest "process" t
cases. Add " acceptances," and we will probably I
have two hundred cases for the Spring Term?wc i
lh>uk not more. The leniency of creditors, or
the prompt-acts of debtors, we cannot tell which, i
(perhaps it is both,) 'unkct the return smaller than I
usual at this season of the year. I

L. P. Austix, Ambrotypist, in another column,

our citizens to pay him a visit and look at bis 1

The Weather.
To-day (Wednesday) the weather is more calm
and pleasant than for two or three daya past
March is noted for its " blowing "propensities,
like some people, and it has lost none of its repu- ,
tation yet. We have recently had some cold, |
frosty weather, which has done, no doubt, con- 1
siderable damage to the peach crop. It is ex- J
pected that but a short crop, if any at all, will he |
had in this section. No damage done to other i
vegetation, that we huve heard of.
A Tall Price for Board.
* A report is going the rounds of the press, that
the Delegates and visitors to the National Demo- |
cratic Convention which meets in Charleston next <
; month, will be charged five dollars per day for
I board at the hotels. The renort. hns hurt nn I
' tradiction from headquarters, and is presumed ]
to be correct The Convention will continue for i
two or three weeks, and those who "see it out"
will have s email bill to foot Dead heads, we
presume, will stand a bad chance at the Convention.
Wonder what editors will do? Poor fellows,
tlwy will have to " take it in broken doses," '
we arc afraid.

will meet with the unanimous support of every
individual interested. Why are there not more
Southern inventions f It is uot because there is
no inventive genius among Southerner^ but simply
because this genious is latenU-insetive In
the present state of affairs, it behoves the South,
not only to properly consider, but to properly employ,
all the moans she has in command, and thus
rciee herself from the indigence and dependence
into which she has inertly fallen. Let the South
study its own interest, and while she Is defending
herself against the assaults and encroachments
of Northern abolition fanatics, lot her foster
and stimulate intellectual and mechanical
pursuit*?Ilist which will not only do h<-r credit
at any time, but the bettor qualify her for any
emergency. May the Southern Inventors'Union

Can they be Betarded P
It annually occurs, in oue section of the conn!ry
or another, that some part of the fruit crop
is cut short by the trees bloomingtoo early. Now
we consider fruit (and especially llic poachc which
is oftencr cut off than any other) too great a luxury
in the summer season to be deprived of, if it
can be avoided. But how to a void it, isthe question.
To retard the trees in blooming is the only
way, or nt least the most sure way, we presume,
that could be adopted to insure a full crop
every year. Our seasons ar#so changeable that
it seems to be a mere accident when fruit " hits."
A warm spoil in January or February starts the
mi. nn it... 1 I . J. - - -
?, ...? w ijuiiii, hiiu oy inc nrst
i>r middle of March, the trees are in full bloom,
?nd when this is the case a cold snap generally ,
lips them. If the sap could be kept down during 1
these premature warm *[>?Us, the danger would
l>e arrested. We are satisfied that if such a thing
?an be done, and was only understood by those 1
who have fruit trees, the complaint so often heard
now would not longer be made, hut (hat annually
there would be fruit in abundance, notwithstanding
the caprices of the weather.
We submit the question to those of our readers
familiar with fruit-growing, and ask for more
light on the subject for the benefit of life public
generally : Can fruit trees be retarded in blooming
T If so, bow?

be a decided improvement, and we tvouM be
glad to see them out. We hope none of our citi
tens interested will disregard any longer this
matter:
"The indispensable ornament and luxury of
shade trees with some jM-reons seem to be disregarded.
Throughout the summer days, when
I lie scorching hcut of the sun Mtma almost powerful
enough to burn U|> and net the earth on
tire, how comfortable, how plensnnt, are shade
trees. There is nothing, we always thought, that
imparted more "attractiveness and heauty to a
town than luxurious shade trees. To see a neat
little cottage emhowered amidst a mass of foliage,
how lovely, how beautiful. It is au evidence
of taste, of neatness, as well as happiness
snd contentment. At what a trifling expense,
too. cnu trees be set out. The time will soon be *

bumble member, shall mis* hereafter his presence
at hia accustomed eeat; a wife haa loet a kind
husband, and little children who once " ran to
greet their tire's return," shall aee liia face no
more on earth. The white rcgnlla of our order,
whkdi lie once to much delighted to wear, haa
been thrown aside for the whiter robe of the
Cbriaiian Mint, and he rests, we hope, where
" Love and Purity" reigneth forever. Be has

grand and glorloua Division on high, whose
meetings never end, and where the glory of the
Great Patriarch of heaven and earth beameth
forever and ever.
