exists on the occasion of filling public
offices. No sooner does an-incumbent
retire, by death1 or resignation, than
conjectures are thrown out, through the
.zsewspapers, as to his probable succes

King., our Minister to England, we
have seen mentioned as likely to sue-j
ceed him, the names of ' the present
Secretary it War, T,$lessr$. Sand ford,
and Van Bur-en of N.1 Y. and Mr. Mcb

The last number of Silliman's Jjour
nal, gives the following simple receipt
for driving insects from trees. Bore a
hole into the trunk of the tree, into the
heart,, fill- he hole with sulphur, and
place m it a well ntted plug. A tree
of from four to eight inches in diame
ter requires a hole, large enough to ad
mit the little! Jinger,. and in the same
proportion for larger or smaller.' trees.
This will usually drive the insects away
in the course of forty-eight hours, but
uniiormiy succeeds, perhaps sometimes
after a "'longer, time. Ah instance: is
mentioned of a large shade tree in Al
bany, which was sainfestedvith worms
ind'eaterpiifarsj that passers by were
obliged to make a circuit 5 to avoid it.
It became such a , rnisance,, that they
were on the point of cutting it down,
