The best way is to dip the holes at least a foot and a half dee( and two feet wide, and nearlj fill it with leaf mold, stable manure, and such fer ttlising matters some time before th trees are put in. Then in placing the trees great care should be observed that the roots are not entangled, but wall separated, and distributed as nearly s possible as they had been growing, with fine earth settled in between them close ly. When the holes have been nearlj filled, some water should be thrown into each one, so as to settle the earth abou the roots thoroughly. When youn trees are planted in this careful mannei tney will commence to grow . at onee, and seldom stow ! any evidence of having been Book ed by the removal. The young and delicate roots find loose, fettile soil, and sustenance immediately at hand, instead of having to force their way through poor, hard ground; and, in the early spring, the good result is seen b the healthy, luxuriant growth of the trees. Care should, be observed in transplanting trees of much sis that they are faced toward the same point of the compass that tbey faced origin all j when growing. With most trees grow ing naturally it may be noticed that the braoov es preponderate on the sides to ff ard the south, and this fact should be a guide in transplanting. These may seem to be small matters, but in nature;, what often seem to us to be trifles, are productive of in portent effects. GtMERAL N1.WS.

When the people reaohed the soene the flimes had not got beyond the wal's of the buildbg. but soon broke out and caught the ware house of Mr. E. J. Parries, in the rear and the store houses on either ' side. There was no water at hand; and if water had been plenty there was no means whereby to use it. It was at onoe seen that the duration of the fire and the destruction from the flimes de pended upon the air currents.: Fortu nately the wind turned from the north and blew directly east, and this saved the buildings on the south of Main .street, together with the depot, hotel and several other large buildings. After the thirteen buildings were de stroyed on this square the flames orossed the street north of the warehouse and destroyed the prise houses of Mr. E. J. Farrish and one of Mr. Umstead's and the bank build ing occupied by Mr. W. T Black well, and all thought the Methodist church would not escape. The fire then crossed the street east of the warehouse and destroyed the dwelling of Mr. El. Lyon, which had been purchased a few days before by Mr E J Parrish There were 500 hogsheads of tobacco in the warehouse of Mr. Parrish and several hundred thousand pounds on the floors. As the frame work attached to the brick and the tobacco and other inflammable materials caught and the flimes shot up high into the air they made the town as light as day, and the falling cinders and angry appearance of the fire oarried terror into the hearts of many people who feared still greatei disaster. Fortunately no one was hurt during the night, and the fire having consumed all the material in of importance and the disappointment over Liverpool were the principal de pressing features, leading to considera ble unloading of reeen purchases.

Immense quan tities of tobacco had been removed into the street, but eould not be removed fast enough and it was destroyed. The heat was terrific The briok buildings of which all the houses on that square were built, seemed to melt away. The fire then orossed northward and de stroyed the large prise houses on thai square and threatened the fine Methodist church, whioh it was thought was cer tainly doomed; but a sudden change i the wind arrested the progress of tht terrible conflagration in that direction, and it swept eastward and consumed the El. Lyon residence on the adjacent Square. Here it stopped. As daylight same, one saw but a mass of red hot bricks where the night before was the chief business centre of the town.
