About 4 o'clock a small cloud gathered over-head, came from the east and began to thunder slowly and in a short time there was a terrific storm which did much damage, unroofed my kite -mi and partly unroofed two crib and a stable. In fact there was not a building on the place but what it partly unroofed l?ut the shop. Pasture fences were also blown down. Corn is badly blown down and broken oil. It was accompanied with hail the size of peas which did no damage as far as I have learned. \n i joen on \ uoom. Dear pvide rs. I will fjive you some news about Antioch.

Generally I should transplant deciduous trees in autumn or i spring as most convenient, with a little preference tor the spriug. i 1 have transplanted evergrees < only in spring. I should fear that 1 transpiration from the leaves dur- i ing the winter would so exhaust the moisture from evergreens as to kill them, writes a eorrespon | dent to t.ho Cultivator. The white ' ; pines (I*, strobus) set by a neigh- j : ijor last fall wore nearly all dead i this spring. So far as 1 have oh- . i served, a white frost upon the | i exposed roots of any tree, oven ; the hardiest, will kill it. Sunshine is also very injurious. I doubt if ; any hemlock can lit) innde to liv j after thirty miuutes of i right.) | sunshine on its completely ex posed roots, and 1 think it i- pret. tv much the same with the pine. I If deciduous trees ar,' trausplanted in autumn before all their leaves have fallen, oi in [spring alter the leaver, havoi started, the leaves should he mostly removed, in order to prevent tin* leaves from exhausting tlio 'moisture in the trees before the roots have made sufficient connection with the ground to sup- j ply the required moisture. 1 set a valued tree in a dry place in the spring. It started finely, and j then its leaves withered, and the 1 tree apparently died. 1 removed j most of its limbs and all of its leaves, well wet the ground about : it, and wrapped wet. rags about its body, and keeping the rags J and ground wot, the tree soon put i forth new leaves and grew finely. ' Trees transplanted from shade! into open sunshine should have! their hodi.es protected from the sunshine. Kvetl tho scattering' oaks I left when felling a forest ! were stunted for years. Transplanted trees generally (no noi irom iacK or rood, but from want of moisture. Trees] taken up with a good supply of I roots ami set in wide generous holes, with the well-pulverized soil cart fully closely packed i around their roots and sufficiently j moistened, will almost invariably , i live. They may or may not re-, 1 quire several waterings. This depends upon the soil and the sea-{ | son. 1 have seen a person when ( setting a treo dash a bucketful of | t water upon the earth on the roots,, so as to wash out the soil from among tlio roots and leave vacant places. This, of course, is all : wrong. It h well to set the tree i as it grew with regards to the points of tho compass. When the ; ground is well wet it is well to | | mulch the tree with straw, sawdust, stones or any similar substance which will keep in tho moisture and keep down the grass or weeds. As many roots are broken otr in taking up the tree, limbs should be clipped or taken nit' t r\ (inrrn r\1 Uat * l>- ... - ? - |w?? bu v-iii > v pt/iiUf Ji ni ill*."' Illitll^ leaves may require more moisture than the roots can furnish. Small, thrifty trees crown in the sun-i shine are generally preferable f<>r transplanting. The whole process is so simple that 1 am not aware that anv onehas written a hook on the subject. Mirth is left upon the roots when the tree is dug up helps to make it start readily and grow, l.ou< Ion n mentions the subject of transplonting in the "Kncyclopedia of Agriculture'' and Downing in "I.andseapo Hardening and IJiira) Architecture,1" note I.pagi to:,. 1 think lirown mentions the subject in his forester, and many treat the subject more or less at length. Downing in the work mentioned writes beau t lfullv of tho tulip tree on patre C?7 of edition of Istl. With all duo reupeor to tho city of Albany and admiration for its beauties, I ran bot think that Rome of tho trees in the compart park of tho beautiful ohl capital have been very cruelly amputated and deformed. i Wo are triad to have a commu-! nication from Bro.

Why did all thegoldbug slai masters of l.ngland and tl United States advocate ihe arti t ration treaty ? Because they lea ed if Amorica remained free tl title to their property in tl masses would be impaired. What title have they in tl masses? They have a mortgaj on the masses in the shape of va indebtedness, and by contractu the money of the world to go alone they make it impossible f< the masses to pay the niortuug and leave them no aitematn but to submit to inviduntarv re vitude. llow would the arhritratii treatv help the slave masters ( the I ailed States would cotlihii with I.:.gl \n ! again t the wor! why con id not Hug kind roa?onab expect to hold in permanent se vitude t!i > four hundred millioi of slaves whose unrequited toil a enriching the gold gamblers London. l)o you pretend to say th England has four hundred m lions of slaves? That is about tl number. There are about thr hundreil millions in India. The are ten or fifteen millions Northern Africa, and in Irelai and Liiclaml she has at le:i twenty millions of semi-slavi They are not \*-t reduced to tl same level of misery ami want the people of India and of Kgyj What do yon mean by slaver We mean the power to exact, ai the actual exaction, of the lain of one man by another wit ho just, compensation. Do the people of India hi Egypt labor without just compe sation? Yes, without any coi pensation whatever, except t miserable pittanee, necessary sustain human life under favc able conditions. I'nder favorah conditions they starve by tlie m lions. Do the people whom Englai enslaves starve liv the million Oh,yes. Eight or nine millio have already died during t current year in India, and it is i timated that ten millions mo must die from the same cause b fore they can supply themselv with food. How can slavery be aholishe The lirst step before theabolitb of slavery is the independence the I'nited States. The Unit' must cease to be an appendage Great Britain. Great Brita must not control our financi ( rent Britain must not be alio ed to hind us by contract to a her suppressing liberty in i parts oi' world.

Tho terrible distress of t country, which it has endured fi several years on account of t high price of *goM and the 1< price of property has aroused spirit of rebellion against t goldites before which they trei ble. Tho violent defense whi they are now making for the crimes they have committed v against the people under tho " sham pretense that gold contrac(1 tion has established confidence r and raised prices shows the ex|e tremities to which they are driven ie to cloak their rascality and shield themselves from an outraged people. They go so far as ie to claim that tho net of Provide dence which made short crops or st famine in every country but this, and raised prices hero, was the !*: benevolent worK of tho goldites, 1 and that Providence had nothing 1 to do with it. Such a false and sham defense for tho crime of re-I jducing the standard money of j ' the world to the single gold stand , ' red an I confiscating the property m i of the masses will open the eyes It | of the people to tlie hypocrisy am! ,,, { wickedness of depriving them of { ,},! an adequate ^upnly of circulating 1 v ' medium, t?> the end that prices i r j may ho stable and that justice u s may be done, p J OI The Time For Pruning. !
