If some insect were to destroy its millions an nually, a general shou of war would be raised against it; but because it is all done by man himself, it is ascribed merely to bad luck, and forgotton. All this arises from the want of proper appreciation of the value and importance of fruit-trees. And so long as fruit-trees are given the least chance on the list of cultivated articles, it is not at all surprising that they, and especially dwarf pears, which absolutely require good-cultivation, are pronounced a "humbug." We have not unfrequeutly seen farmers who, after expending half a : dollar each on the trees of a young orchard, including setting them out would destroy one half by choking them with a crop of oats and clover, be cause they could pot "afford" to lose the use of a small strip of land where they stood and so the loss' on the trees was at least ten times as much as the oats and clover were worth. If any one had undertaken to raise corn or potatoes ii the mklst of a field of oats, or in a dense clover meadow, his friends could easily rescue him from the pun- j-h.m'nt of any crime, on the plea of "msan lr . .

If notrthen.Jfe are enacting the merest farce. I represent my Presbytery and have powrer to transfer or disolve it. I never did believe in the doctrine of instruction; it is too dem ocratic for me. Dr. Boyd said: Brother Ross is partly right and . partly wrong. We act as a dis tinct body; and what we say or do, is done officially. And if these brethren are in structed to pursue this course, then their Presbyteries are bound by their action; but otherwise they are not. . RevI Mr White said: We have no author ity to take our Presbyteries into the Old School, or anywhere else, not specified in our commissions. I object, because it pro vides for merging our Presbytiries into the Synods of the General Assembly, where they, by their geographical limits, properly belong. The effect of which would be, to remove some of our Presbyteries to nowhere. If we are to have union, let it be union, but if absorption, be it so.

The bank of Grafton, Grafton, Mass., was robbed on the 7th inst., of $12,000, consisting of seven thousand dollars in notes, and the res idue in notes of the denomination of 50's, 10's and 5's. The Boston Journal furnishes the following particulars: The cashier left the office abont ten o'clock in the morning to go to the post office, and on making up his accounts at 2 o'clock, found the amount above named, which was contained in two packages, to be missing. The bank is lo cated in the second story of the building, and when the Cashier left he locked the outside door, of the banking room, but he left the vault with the key in the door. As it was known that the cashier and teller were the only officers usually present during that part of the day and that the teller was absent on a visit to this city, it is Btirraised that some one knowing to these facts was se creted in the attic of the building, awaiting the departure of the cashier for an opportunity to effect the robbery. It cannot be ascertained that there were any strangers in the town yesterday, and no one of a suspicious character is known to have visited the bank. A young lad, of rather an evil rep utation, residing in Grafton, has been arrested on suspicion but the evidence against him pives" scarcely any cine' as to who the guilty party may be. It is not likely, however,, that the deed was " committed -by any professional hand, as a quantity . of bills and coin more easily disposed of than the packages stolen, were left untouched in the bank vault.1 - The name of the boy who is arrested,, is Al bert Stockwell. He was privately" examined and rerranded for further examination." The evidence against him, however, rests on very slight grounds. The cashier is held in $20,000 bonds to the bank, which will, of course, secure the institution from loss. Stanley, who now holds the same office in thai newly formed cabinet. When it was propose, by the ministry to appropriate the surplns reve nues for the established church in ' Irelaudl'or the establishment of a national school sysenn Mr. Stanley differed with his colleagues And, finding himself in a minority, he and Sir James Graham, Lord "Ilipou, and the' Inke of jKich mond, uiitil theu identified with the whifs, se ceded faoui the party, and ultimately formed a union with the conservatives, under sir Robert Feel. '. In 1841, Mr. (then become Lord) Stanley accepted oihee as colonial secretary in sir Rob ert's second administration. In 1844, xluring the the lifetime of his father he was summoned by writ to tiie House of Lords as Baron Stan ley, where his wonderful debuting power whs effectively employed inthe service of his col league?. ; It was believed that there were serious dif ferences of opinion between Lord Stuulev and Sir Robert l'eel on questions of foreign policy, the chief management of which was then con tided to the Earl of Aberdeen; but the split between the two great conservative statesmen took place on the subject of the repeal of jtbe com laws, Lord Stanley retiring from the cabi net, and taking the leadership of the protec tionists and the remnants of the tories. There was no more bitter opponent of Lord John Rus sell's whig ministry (1846-'52) than the bold and chivalrous Stanley ; and on their resigna tion in February, 1852, the Queen sent for the Earl of Derby to form a cabinet, which he did by cubing to his aid almost the same men as he has now chosen. For the most they had never held office before, and tho' many of them Disraeli, Waipole, Packington, and Sugden, wera men of ability audpower, they were wsioiiy iiiexpeneneeu, ana were peculiarly un fitted to cope with a House of Commons, a ma jority of which was kiiowu to be of decidedly free trade opinions. . Finding that he was too weak in the House to be able to carry on the business of the couu try with advantage, Lor Derby dissolved Par liament and appealed to the people. The re sult was, the return of a House still .more deci dedly opposed to protect.oniam than its prede cessor. In December, 1852, the Derby cabinet resigned, after nine mouths tenure of office, un der circumstances of peculiar difficulty and em barrassment. From that date to the present overthrow of the Palmerston administration Lord Derby in the Lords, and Air. Disraeli in the Commons, have let a most bitter and nu compromisii g opposition to her Majesty's gover ment. On every question of importance; the Crimean war; the mutiny in India; law reform; in short, on every question, foreign or (lometic Lord Derby brought to beurall his vast powers as au orator; his varied acquirements and ad mirable qualities as a debater, to defeat the the government. As a statesman Lord Derby certainly ranks among the first men of the age and as an accomplished scholar and as a refined gentle man, he is net surpassed by any. In private life he is much esteemed by those whom he ad mits to his intimacy; but his haughty exclusive ism and austere assertion of the privileges of his order render him far from popular. At the death of the Duke of Wellington, hevwas elec ted by a unanimos vote Chancellor -of the Uni versity of Oxford, which is one of the most en vied positions in the United Kingdom, and is only conferred on the most eminent men of . the day. - '.-'.- '; ' '; - ;s ' Windfall. The origin of this term is said to be the following: Some of the no bility of England by the tenure of their estates, were forbidden felling, any of the trees upon them, the timber being reserved for the use of the rovaV navv. Such trees as fell without cutting, were the property of iu occupant; a tornado, therefore, was quite a joyful event to those who had the occupancy of extensive forests, and the wind fall was sometimes of very great value.

''We have received the annual statement of P A Champomier relating to the Sugar crop of Louisiana. being prepared with much care, after an examination of each parish to ascertain the actual amour t of sugar produced; this pub lication is looked to by sugar dealers with con siderable interest. After referring to the ad verse circumstances attending cane culture du- rinsr the last vear or two, the author sneaks of the present.condition of the crop with hopeful anticipations He says : "As to the coming crop. I will venture no speculative suggestion. -The number of acres planted may be less than last year, but the rat toons which failed almost totally then, now give promise to more than supply the deficiency of plant cane with on ordinarily propitious sea son and the absence of the unusual circum stances which have weighed so heavily on the sugar interest of the State for the last three years. I have a conviction that the energy of our planters will enable them to overcome any ordinary dithcnlties, and that the result will show that the depreciators of Louisiana as a sujrar producing country, are very much in error. In giving a recapitulation of the products of the several parishes, it is found that 1,294 su gar hrnses have given an aggregate production of 219,691 hogsheads of sugar, weighing 301, 666,10ft pounds, allowing 1,100 pounds to the hogshead. This includes 240,308 hogsheads, made under the old process, and 39,388 refined, clarified, and cistern.
