Those of CO and over were 01, Go, 71,

Estimating our Ujrough population at
3,000, this is a ratio of 1 death to every
100 of tbe population, or excluding
those under 20 aud over 00 ouly 1 to
600 of the ailutl population. Ouly 1 to IOU

cf the entire population. In other years,
the ratio has been greater. This year, we
upposo an exact enumeration would show
much greater proportion of deaths in
ny of our neighboring towns not that
they are any of them less favorable to
health than our own, but accidental cir
cumstances some times affect one town or

Advantages cf Shade Trees.
A correspondent cf the JCural .Vic
Yurher thinks the forest trees of our couu
try are sadly wasted, and calls upon Con
gress and the President to stop the system ,
of throwing new lunds into market to be
run over and only half cultivated, to the
great injury of true improvement, and in
curring great discomforts and unnecessary
Lardsbips. He thinks that u could be .
found fur all timbor for builJiug, fences, i
lie., or for ch ircoal, v. hic'a is au endless j
and imperishable Source of tvca.th and
Lourishmcnt.
A single row of ehado trees on tho
ides of the street, in a small village, will
make every fl.OOO cf real estate worth:
" . , j
f 1,100 in five years. A d
pies, borse chestnuts, elms,
dozen untrimmel evergreens, judiciously
arranged about a farm house, will add $5
per acre to tbe price of a hundred acre
farm. A very ordinary bouse may be
made very respectable by a neat yard,
well stocked with trees. Many cords of
fire wood may bo saved by a grove of ev
ergreens and other trees on the windward
fide of a bou?e. I ascertained by actual
experiment tbat a room shaded by a sin
gle row of maples was cooler by 17 do
grees in a hot day than another room sim
ilarly Bituatcd except tha maples. In
case of fires, green trees protect buildings
from flames raging near by and also afford
great shelter to the firemen.
It may be late in tbe season to trans
plant trees, though it is early enough for
evergreens, but it may not be too late to
protect trees already planted from cattle,
torses, &c, and without protection they
Lad better remain iu the forest or nursery.
Important as these considerations cer
tainly are, in referenco to shade and or- j leuden. Foot, Foster, Hale, Hamlin, Har
Gamental trees, there is the more signifi- j lan, King, Pugh, Kicc, Seward, Shields,
ant inquiry, what are to become of our j Simmons, Stuart, Trumbull, Wade, il-
forcstsi ihe failure ol springs ana j
streams, the terrible force of tho winds,
the unusual severity of the winters, and in
many p sees prospective barrenness, a.i in i
J ', , , i
consequenee of the loss of our forests,
hould induce efforts to stay the desola- j
tion.
If farmers could be persuaded that i
they could produce as much from fifty
aeres well tilled, as from a hundred mdit
fereutly managed, would they not be
willing to till the fifty and devote the bal
ance to trees ?
Barus also, and stables, orchards and
gardens, may be tempered against loth
the beats of summer and the blasts of
winter, by rows and groves of shade trees.
They beautify a roadside, and they afford
grateful shelter for cattle, stock, &c., in
every beid affording more benefits in
Various modes, than the losses from the
maut of room which they occupy, and
lis Soils they exhaust. Tbey give, also,

The purity and iudepcudeuce cf tbe
Jury system, depend upon its being cxer-
; cised by tlin most respectable people of all
sects and parties, aud not upon the exclu
sion of persons of auy actual sect or party.
For some years past, tbe Locofoco l'ro-
Slavery party, in choosing Jurors for L. j
S. Distiict Courts, have selected almost or 1
quite exclusively, full blooded men of their
own party, or scaley men of tbe Opposi-
tion, nominally, who are just as bad.

I live in Carroll county, about one mile
from lirookville in Ogle county. I con
sider this one of the best farming coun-
trit,s in the United States, perhaps a little
too cold in winter, but here tho farmers
have little to do in winter but attend to
their stock. We sow nearly all our wheat
iu the spring. Some are now done, but a J
good many of cur farmers are in the
midst of their seeding. Last season we
had rather a short crop of wheat and
oats, but rood corn. We can have our
oats, but good corn.
ve can nave or
wheat in market in four months from tbe
time of sowing. There is ready market
for everything we have te sell, but money
is scarce, ana commands ironi ten to tuir-
ty per cent, interest, this high interest
is one thing that is injuring our western
countries. I have always noticed that
where interest is high, money is scarce.
I was sorry to sea that your Legislature
altered tbe usury laws in tbe session of
1353. I think tbey will find it to be the
interest of the State to repeal that law.
Our Legislature meets every other win
ter. The Constitution fixes their pay and
time of sitting at il per day for forty-two
days, and after that time SI per day.
Everything in the western country goes
with a rush ; men get rich in a hurry,
and very often break up as suddenly ; our
law. aro all made in a hurry, and conse
quently are very badly digested; one
half of the Members, wben they come
home, don't know what tbey have been
doing. I am told that the last session
they had as many as twenty transcribing
clerks, while two used to do all in Penn
sylvania. But from what I have said
you must nut conclude that our citizens
are ignorant, for, let some of your shrewd
dealing men come out here and they will
i soon bo convinced of the contrary. In
my immediate neighborhood, the popula
tion is pretty much made up of German
descent, from Pennsylvania.
In politics, we are strongly Republican.
I tbiuk perhaps we have the strongest
Congressional district in the United States.
Give us Seward as our candidate for tbe
next President, and Lincoln for Vice
President, and I will almost insure $11,
000 majority, but we will support any
good men. I see the Democracy of Penn
sylvania are in trouble. I think some of
the Opposition in Pennsylvania have a
better opinion of Douglas than the people
of bis own State. We have no confidence
in bis honesty as a politician. He still
wishes to stick to the Democratic party
and bo called a Democrat. He reminds
me of a passage of Scripture I have read
of a certain wouiau saying that she would
eat ber own bread, "only let uie be called
by thy name." Only give him the name
of Democrat, and that is all he wants.
Elect him President, and be will deceive
the people, as Jas. K. Polk and James
Buchanan have dune. I hope you will
be able to make a judicious selection iu
nominating a ticket for next fall. If you
do, yuu must succeed ; but there are some

The Tariff Specific Duties.
At the commencement of th last ses
sion of Congress, a modification of the
Tariff, favorable to Peuusylvaoia iuterests,
seemed to be certain. Mr. IJuchanan re
commended a change from ad ra'uw to
tjxriic duties. Tha Buchanan press of
Pennsylvania generally supported it. Sen
ator Higler lent tho measure the aid of
bia powerful abilities. Great efforts urm-
17 ... 1.. 1.. . I, lttir it fnilMil
f' u """j " "
W e say great efforts teemed to be maue
but who that is in the .lightest degree
acquainted with the hypocrisy of the men
who teemed to make the effort, can believe
that they were realty made ? It would be
throwing great discredit upon Buchanan
and Bigler, to suppose such a thing.
Why of what value to Pennsylvania
would be her two "distinguished sons"
the one in the Presidential chair and tht
other in the U. S. Senate, and both illus
trious as statesman and tacticians if
their united influence was not sufficient to
carry through Congress a simple change
in tha tariff from ad valorem to specifie
duties ? It would be an insult to them,
aud a discredit to their constituents, to
believe that they tried to carry it and
we will uot insult tha one, or discredit tha
other, by believing any such absurdity.
The plain truth is, they did not want to
change tho Tariff at all. They were obli
ged to jiretrnd to favor it, in order to
hoodwink their northern friends, aud a

His ty-s are srowiiiz 'Inn,
AnJ years are on his shouMer laid,
A hi-avy wiht fur hno.
AnJ you and I are young, and hale,
Ami each a stalwart man.
And we must make his load as light
AnJ easy a we ran.

At cradle and ihe plow,
AnJ rarned our porriik-e by the sweat

Vet never heard we huu complain,
WhaleVr Ins toil miht be.
Nor wanted e'rr a welcome seat
I'pon his siilid Unee.
AnJ when our bny-Jtrenqib. came, John J
AnJ slur.ly srew eaeli limb.
He brnucht us tu the yellow field,
To share the tuil wilh him ;
Bui lie west furemoal in the swa'.h.
Tossing aside the grain.
Just like ilie plow lhal braves the soil.
Or ships that sheer the main.
Now. we must lead ihe van, John !
Through weather foul and lair,
AnJ lei tlie old man rea 1 and deze,
And tilt his cj.y chair ;
AuJ he'll not mind it, J.din, you know.
At eve M tell us o'er
Those brave old das of British times,
Our Urandslres aud the War.
I heard ynu spr :;lt of Ma'am, Juha I
Tis puspel what ym say.
That, caring fur the line of us.
Has turned her head so grey I
Yet, John, 1 do r member well
Whtn neighbors called her vain.
And when her bair was Inns and like
A gleaming .heal ol grain..
Her lips were cherry red, Jnhn,
Her cheeks were round anJ fair,
AnJ like a ripened peach they swelled
Against her wavy hairj
Her siep fell lislilly as ihe leaf
from oil the summer tree,
And all day busy at the wheel
She sang to you and me.
She had a buxom arm, John '.
Thai w ielded well the rod,
Whene'er with willul step our leet
The path forbidden irod ;
But tn the heaven tf her eye
We never loi'krd in vain,
AnJ evermore our yielding cry
brought down her tears like rain.
But lhat is Ions apone, Juhn !
And we are what we are.
And lutle heed we, day by day.
Her fading cheek and hair.
Aud when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no lunger stir,
Tu then, Jjhn, we ihe most shall feel
We had no friend like her !
Sure there ran be no harm, John!
Thus speaking softly o'er
The kU4 ntmn of those, ere long
Miall welcome us no more.
.Nay ! hide it not, for why shouldsl thou
An bi-nesi lear disown ?
Thy beau one day will lighter be

Yes, Father's cruwin? old. Juhn,
H.s eyes are gelling dim.
And Mother's treading sniiiy down
The dim descent with him.
But you and I are yunz. and bale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we mul make their paths as smooth
And level as we can.

How ta Wash Sheep.
One of the correspondents of the WW
Grower, II. II. Robinson, Millersburg,
O , gives the following as bis mode sf
Washing Sheep : "Take a large size store
box and place it below a mill-dam or on a
rivulet where you can have a stream of
water running in it through a epout.
The way to mansge tbe sheep is this :
turn tha sheep on it. back, let one person
take hold of its fore leg. with hi. left
band, and hold tbe back of it. head with
the right, and another person bold the
hind legs, and in that manner dip the
sheep in the box of water a few times,
then let the sheep turn on it. fc.t in tbe
j box and press the wool until it becomes
clean. I liko this way of wsshing much
better than the old way of dragging sheep
into a stream and worrying them about
until the wool i. olean."

Apr ip iH to the rejent grant cf tha
applicaiion for a renewal of a piter.t of an
easy cha:r, inven'a 1 by a c'nizn f South,
Carolina, the New Orleans ltl!a gives tit
following story, as quite turisnt winter be
fore last :J
Judge Evms, the lata Senator frofl
South Carolina, was a very earnest, sin
cere, and venerable ell gentleman, whi
under an exceedingly gentle, milJ, and
clerical exterior, concealed iorsa very
decided points of character, among which)
was an intense State f ride, and a strong
bias in favor of the institution", and even
tbe weaknesses and defects of bis own na
tive State. To him, South Carolina was
tke beau ideal of everything grccd, admi
rable, and great. Her errors and defect!
were to him virtues and endowments.
And, though it was not in the nature of
the good old man to hite anybody or any
thing, he cherished a very decided rtpvj
nance to the institutions, ideas and cus
toms of New England. For any South
Carolinian to possess any of the qualities,
the accomplishments or tastes of any of
the people of that section, was, in the
view of the old Senator, a serious breach
of faith and duty to his honored and be
loved Palmetto State.
Now, it happened tbat Judge Evans
was applied to by a young South Caroli
nian, who bad invented some ingenious)
mechanical contrivance, which be desired
to have patented. The young applicant
introduced himself as the ton of an oil
friend and fellow parishioner of tbe J udgo,
and begged bis favor and aid in obtaining
his letters patent
The venerable Senator, raising bia spec
tacles, and fixing bis eyes in wonder and
amazement cu tbe ingenious youag Caro
linian, in bis mild but emphatic tone, in
terrogated hiin as follows :
"Yuu are the son of Col. II., of St.
ParLb, South Carolina, who was born ia
the said parish V
"I am, sir," jromptly responded lbs
young man.
'The grandson of Gen. IT., who served
under Gen. Suicptcr, in thej Revolutiona
ry War r
'Y,es, sir," was tbe prompt reply.
"Your mother was the daughter of 3fr.
Nancy , who set fire to her mansion
in the Revolution, to prevent the British
Occupying itj"
"Yes, sir," enthusiastically exclaimed
the representative of one cf Carolina's
proudest families.
"And you," continue! the patriotic old
Senator, "have been educated at ,
in , and instructed in tha princi
ples, duties aud knowledge of your por
tion, your birth and family 1"
''Yes, sir," modestly remarked tbe now
'
! IBJp.iieuk youiu.
"Then, sir," exclaimed the Judge, in a
tone of haughty firmness and indignation,
'loir t'lireoii to turn your back upon all
tbe traditional principles, ideas, and cus-
i toms of your State, upon the sentiments
and principles of your family, yonr ances
tors and your countrymen, and degrade
yourself to the level of a common wooden
nutmeg Yankee, ly inventinj a labor-M'
vinj machine f
The ingenious, but, alas! high-born
young Carolinian, was so affected by tba
forcible manner in which the Senator pre
sented the enormity of bis conduct, that
be abandoned bis application, and returned
to South Carolina, with a view of standing
for Congress in bis District at the next
election!
