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-

I represent my Presbytery and have powrer

in the doctrine of instruction; it is too dem

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 brethren, the vote was taken, showing

BISK. ROBBERY.
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

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

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.

Louisiana Sugar Crop.
''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. Steam is used on 835
plantations,, and horse power on 359. 7'he
production of molasses hus been in about the
same proportion a3 in former seasons, if. not
more 'abundantso that the entire crop of mo
lasses is put down at 19,518,190 gallons,

y The Crops.
We have recently passed through four coun
ties in East Tennessee, (says the Knoxville
Whig,) and we were somewhat- particular to
notice the prospect for wheat the coming har
vest. The prospects are cheering iu the high
est degree, and, while the quality of the yonng
wheat is so very good and promising, the
quantity promises a yield never before realized,
should the season he favorable.
The appearance of the wheat crop (says the
Atlanta Intelligencer) in Tennessee and Chero
kee Georgia, we are assured by several gentle
men who" have paid much attention to it, is re
markably fine, giving promise of an abundant
harvest. If no jnishap befalls it, the crop must
exceed that of any previous 3'ear. .
.The Danville (Va) Republican states that
tobacco is coming in freely, and bears raue.h
Wtter prices than the most sanguine could bare
hoped tor. . r . - -;
About ZaiesviJIe, Ohio, the peach prospects
are said to be good, notwithstanding the wail
ings of the croakers.
The grasshoppers are said to be very bad in
the vicinity of San Antonio, Texas, and in most
of the counties southwest of that ooint. : Seri
ous apprehensions are entertained by the plant
ers that the crops will be destroyed, - "
The Trinity (Texas) Advocate says that veg
etation is just commencing m that portion of the
State. It is thought that the fruit bas been
seriously injured Tj the heavj frosts. "
B'There are in the city of New York near
lv 40.000 womai who sew for a living. About

out of employment during the past winfr-r;ouly
about, 3000 of them, it is s-iid, have had wor k
to do during this period. Sh;rt makers ee -rally
receive 25 cents a day. The introduction
of sewing machines has thrown a great many
out of employment.
A Sailor's Greatest Wantt. We remember
once seeing a specimen of a senior's letter, which
ran in this wise: 'Dear Jack 1 want you to
send me some pigtail tobacco a tarpaulin hat
and a pair ofdnck trowsers. Yon must be sure
and send the pigtail. The hat you can sret
at Old Snigger's in Cheapside If you forjret
everything else don't forget the pigtail. The
trowsers they sell at Pewter Jimmy's are well
sewed. Send me lotts of pigtail.
Your friend, T. M.

last you sent me from Swab's had no strength
in it.
P. S. Don't forget the pigtail.
