rALL WANTING PAILVS, a tare oppor

71.;) miles southeast of Philadelphia, on the Cam
den and Atlantic Railroad, New Jersey.—An
old estate, consisting of several thousands of
acres of productite soil, has been divided into
Farms of various sites to suit the purchaser.—
A population of some fifteen hundred, from
various parts of the middle States and New Eng
land,bave settled there the past year, improved
their places, and raised excellent crops. The
price of the land is at the lost sum of front Flf,
to $2O per acre; the soil is of the best quality
fur the production of Wheat, Cltner, torn,
Peaches. Grapes and Veget..bles. IT IS CON
SIDERED Tllt BEST FRIAT SOIL IN THE
UNION. The place is perfectly secure from
kSt4—the destructive-enemy of the farmer.—
ips of grain, grass and fruit are now growing
and can be seen. By examining the place it
self, a correct judgment can be formed of the
productiveness of the land. The terms are made '
easy to secure the rapid improtement s pf the
land. w hich is only sold fur actual improrymcnt.
The result has been, that within the past year,
some three hundred hou.es have been erteted,
two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty
tuiyards and peach orchards planted, and al
large number of other improvement., making it
a desirable and acute pl.ece

been to restore thew to au excellent state of

In the way of building and improving, lumber
cau be obtained at the milts at thawrate of $lO
to $l5 per thousand. Bricks front the brick
yard opened in the place, el cry article can Le
prucured in the place, good carpenters are at
hand, and there is nu plate in the Union where
buildings and impro%euteuts can be made
cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the ad

the property has not been taken up before.—
The reason is, it was ue%er thrown in the mar

no one would be invited to examine the laud
before pun. basing. This all are expected to du.
They will see land under culti‘ation, and such
is the extent ut the settlement that they si ill no

they cone with a ilea - to settle, they should
curve prepared to stay a day or two and be ready
to purchase, as lucatiuus cannot be held on re

Mr. Clay's Quarrel with Gen. Taylor.
The following scrap of history in the Bing
hamton Democrat ut Oct. 13. frons the locality
and the personal familiarity with the rela
tions of the great men named which is exhibit.
ed in the (4a:talents, is ascribed by the Buffalo
Commercial to the pen ot Daniel S. Dickinson;
•• Among the causes of estrangement be
tween Mr. Clay and lien. Taylor, and probs.-
I.ly the great and final one, was this—Mr.
Clay, it may Le remembered, had a son in
humanly butchered at Buena Vista in the
Mexican war. That sou left a widow and a
prom i s i ng , ma nly boy, of some sixteen or
seventeen years.. This boy was anxious to be
appointed a cadet at West Point, and receive
a military education, and his request was
warmly Po:united by his mother and his
grandfather, Ilenry Clay. Henry Clay,
thereupon wrote to Mr. Polk. then president
and his stneestul rival our the station, re
questing thiippuintment of his grandson ea
a cadet at large. Mr. Polk at once ordered
his name to be placed on the list fur appoint
ment, and it was dune ; but Guy. Marcy, then
Secretary of War, upon the examination usual
in such eases, found that he was below the
requisite age to enter the academy, an,d the
rules of 'Le War Department were tuoimpera
tiye to be changed, and his name was nut fur
that reason sent to the Senate.
Mr. l'olk, howmer, placed on the files of
the War Department a letter under his own
hand detailing the circumstances, and re
questing his successor, whoever he might be,
to appoint young Clai, who in the first year
of the then nest administration, would be of
sufficient age. Gen. Taylor, a political friend
of .Ir. Clay. pro% ell t 9 be his successor. The
list of talJets is usually prepared by the Sec
retary of War, and corrected by the ?'resident,
and in making up the list under General
Taylor's administration, Mr. Crvisrford, his
Secretary of War, placed young Clay's name
at the bead of the lilt. General Taylor, when
he came to review the list. struck nut the
name with his uwu hand and refused to ap
point him. This strange act was never fur
gotten nor forgiven by henry Clay, and it is
belie% ed both parties died without any change
in their relations.
When General Taylor's death Will ark
nouticed in the Senate, and Mr. Webster,
Gen. Cass, anal others pronounced eulogies
upon his charseter, Mr. Clity, on being beck
oned to rite, wart(' hie litu4 significantly and
reunrined silent."
The Last of a Company.
Some ten or tvielro years ago, a party of
gentlemen residing in Ilarrisburg, Pa., went
on a gunning and fi.hing excursion, taking
with titans pro% isions sufficient to lust them •
week. Among their prurender they had
sareral bottles of brandy, and while in one
of their conris 61.1 moods, made an agreement
to bursone of the bottle., and let it remain
upon die Wand until only one of the party
survived, when he should procure the bottle
and drink its contents with his friend , . and
resert to the memory of she departed
Tile persons that cAnpusesl the party hareall
but one been called w their final rest, and
the surrisor, on Friday 'reek, started for the
spot where the bottle is bnried, to fulfil the
promise made to his departed mmt anions.
or The other night, when the Aurora
Borealis overspread the firmament, the sight
was so unusual as to excite not a few, and
some were frightened almost out of their
wits. There was Peter 11—, for instance,
who went to the door, and saw with amaze
meut the sky lighted ap, and he concluded
that the *oriel was on ire, and that she judg
ment-day bad come. He gazed awhile in
speechless terror at the scene. and with a
yeU of horror sprang into the yard and ran
and screamed, cud prayed like an awakened
sinner. This awakened his wife, who seeing
her husband running and screaming about
the yard, called to him to tell her what on
earth was the matter. "Peter, what is the
matter with your' said the astoniahed wile.
" What makes Jim run and set up such a
terrible noise!" But Peter said never a
word to her. There was a long score of sins

he thought had come, and he was heedless
and ealbui of his wife ' s appeals, and all other
terrestial things. The wife beastroll Intensely

"TIRDTIf IS MIGHTY, AND WILL PIDIVAIL."
The Latest Dos.
Among the numerous expedients that were
resorted to invading the "Maine Ligeor Law,"
the following, we think was the most loge.
ninon :
A tall specimen of 'Yankee manufacture,'
arrived in the good city of Portland, in the
State of Maine, and established at the Elm
Hotel. ilia luggage consisted of a small va
lise and a large oblong box, which contained
(for the inspectors had examined its contents, )
a quantity of books richly bound, which the
proprietor had bought fur the purpose of re
tailing about the city.
After seeing tie property placed in the
tom to him, the pedlar made his appearance
in the office with a small volume in his hand.
I.le glanced his keen shrews v . ya leisurely
around the room, which at rzymlen t con
tained no one but the clerk kri.: myself.
'Fond of reading?' inquire.•: the pedlar of
the clerk, when bc Lad finiaLed his observa
tion.
' Don't get any time,' said the clerk, busy
ing himself most wonderfully at the desk.
'I rather guess l'te got a book here you'd
like to read,' eUutinued the pedlar persever
ingly.
'What is it?'
'Well, it's a real good kind of a book, and I
just the thing fur the times, too, cause 'twill
giro a man spiritual solace, they do say that's
what a man can't get eery easy to Maine, I
just about now.'
•That's true : bat your solace,' unfortunate
ly, my good,friend, dues nut happen to be the
right kind.'
There was a eunning leer, in the pedlar's
eye as be inquired.
'Fund of the right mart, hey ? hat hat'
.K ben I can get h,' responded the clerk..
a little interested.
'Rather guess I'll sell von this book then,'
returned the pedlar, with unapproachable
nun °balsams.
'What is it? You have not told the name
yet, sir.' ,
'lla! ha! it's the Pilgrim's Progress.'
'I don't want to see it. 1 hare read it a
dozen Chase, sir.'
'But this is a•e late illustrated edition.'
' Nu matter it's all the same.'
' But the illustratiuus elm very beautiful.
Every pessou will say that they are unequal
ed.'
•Oh it's all nonsense! I don't want it,' and
the clerk began writing again, evidesitly an
noyed.
' Say, now, you had better look at the pic
tures, and the pedlar thurst the book under
his clerkship's nom.
The inurement had an astonishing effect
upon the clerk. Ile jumped off the chair
and began to examine the volume overly,
but, much to my surprise without °penmen.
Then seemingly satisfied with the examina
tion, he demanded the price, and purchased
it.
'Look yes,' said the pedlar, squinting up
hie right eye, after the sale was concluded,
musing towards the door, 'look you, if any
body else should see that bout, and want to
get one just like it send pp to No. 75. I'll
acoommudote'uni just as quick as they please.
And exchanging a strangely queer and mys
terious look with the clerk, the pedlar van
ished.
'What in the name of common sense pos
sessed you to buy that book.' I inquired of
the clerk as souu as the pedlar was out of
sight.
'See here a moment.'
I advanced and looked over his shoulder.
Turning up one end of the book, he removed
a small slide and discovered a stopple, which
he uncovered and banded me the book %Lich
I applied mechanically to my mouth.
• What is it f said he laughing.
'Brandy, by thunder,' I exclaimed, pass
ing to take breath, and taking tarp* fur the
dour.
'Hallo, where are you going?' said he to
me.
' Pp stairs, it has just struck me that the
Pilgrim's l'rugress will Ire an excellent addi
tion to my library.'
The next day the Yankee pedlar's stock
was exhausted, and be was off for another lot
of the illustrated edition of the good gild Pil
grim's Progress.

Mating &sit tram, like planting anYthinF
else in the ground, designed to grcrw well,
must be done right; and no labor can be more
judiciously spent. than in planting a fruit
tree well. In the first place, get good, sound
trees, and if the top is full of branches, or
large, and the roots are small, it is necessary
to trim down the top to suit the size and
quantity of roots. This the person planting
must be the judge of. All roots that are
bruised or injured in taking up, must be cut
off smooth. The longer and huger the roots
the better. In the next place, make the holes
for trees large, not less than from four to six
feet In diameter, and at least two feet deep—
the more depth the better. Fill up the holes
with any good soil to within fifteen inches of
the top—eet the tree in the hole the same
way it first grew—fill up all the spaces around
the roots with good fine earth, and cover over
all the roots three or four inches thick with
good rich roil, which press down lightly with
the foot, except around the trunk of the tree,
where a half bucket of water poured around
will have the effect of causing all the vacan
cies around the trunk and roots under it to
fill up. Place a stake or stick in the hole
where there are no roots near ; or what would
be much better, a post of locust, of proper
size and Ltsight—to fasten the tree to for
four or flee ye.us, to Lecp it from swinging
about by the wln , l, then fill op the whole to
within tour or fira of the top, and put
a layer of auy ki n d mali cre, straw, weeds,
two or t ,ree inches thick, and then fil l
the hole full of earth, and tramp it inOderate
ly tight. TLe trees ought to be planted' from
nine to fifteen inches iu depth, according t 4.7
size and former depth of growth. Many good
trees are ruined by the storms, cattle, for
want of stakes or postsprevent their
banding = w i n, and shakinft loose at roots, ,k.c.
These prescriptions are intended for apple
trees, and all others can he planted in the
some way, except as regards distance. Apple
trees, in a new orchard, should be planted
from thirty tQ forty feet apart, according to
rise or kinds of trees, smaller size nearer in
proportion. Full planting is the surest sea
son, affording more leasure to plant propel
ly, &c., and can be done from the miMe of
October uutil the ground fremes.—Putridend

A traveller once arrived at a village inn
after a hard day's travel, and being very tired,
requested aroma to sleep in, but the landlord
said they were entirely full, and that it was
utterly impossible to accommodate him; that
his wife bad to sleep ..0 the sofa and himself
on the floor ; but ho would see what his wife
cou:d chi for him. The good woman on be

he might occupy, provided lie would agree to
the ounditions, air : to enter the room - late in
the dark and leave it early in the morning,
to phvent scandal, as the room was occupied
by a bu. y. 'This he agreed to do. About
two o'clock in the morning an awful noise
was beard in the house, and our friend the
traveller was beard tumbling heels over head
down stairs. The landlord, un arriving at

Paddy and the Turtle.
In New York. a man was carrying a live
turtle along the street. when an Irtshmat
came along. followed by a large dug. The
countryman tried by gentle wurdi to get the
eon of Emerald to put him finger into the tur
tle's mouth, but he was too smart fur that.
" But says be, "I'll put my dog's tail id,
and see what the beau, will do."
Ile immediately called up his dog, took hi•
tail in his baud and stuck it in the turtle's
mouth. Ile had scarcely got it in lelteu Mr.
Turtle shut down on the pour dog's tail and
off the latter started at railroad •peel, pulling
the turtle after him at a more rapid rate than
ever it travelled before. The countryman,
thinking that biv day's work would be thrown
away if the animal should run at that rate,
turned with a savage look upon the Irishman
and exclaimed :
" Call back your dog !"
I'uddy put his hands into his posketa,
threw his head to ono aide. and then answer
ed with a provoking sattg fruit!:
• Cull back your fish !"
