LEWISBUttO CHRONICLE AND WEST BRANCH FARMER WEST BRANCH Pacta U be Remembered In Pruning. There are important differences in the mode of growth and bearing of the various cultivated fruit tree?, suhjectcd to pruning ab2 training, that every cultivator should it lidy carefully. Every species is governed by laws no less regular and observnhle in this respect, than in their periods of blos soming and maturation, and these laws should be takeu into f 'ret account a prun ing and every process intendt 1 to modify the growth and productiveness of bearing trees. Most culuvatnrs are too apt to over look thpse ininorinnt points, and hence the principles of pruning aie Ladly understood. Inmcdia'e cActs alone are lop frequently looked to. it' the head of a tree La too dense', or certain branches too long, a cer tain number or a cer'nin length is cut way, without considering tho results that must loliow ; and it is this skillful and un discriminaling pruning, as wel! ns a tots! neglect of it, thai produces such vast num ber or snsiglnly and unprofitable trees as now cumlir the g'ound of a large portico of our orchards and gsr.hns. At present we can give but few hints on the subject, by way of calling attention to '.Vse points. The Apple, Pear, and Quince are all similar in their motle of bearing. The fruit buds are usually produced on spurs or short tout shoots along the sides of the branch es of two or more years' growth, and these shoots or sjurs contiirjn tJ renew their fruit buds, and bears for several years in succession, if they enjoy the advantages of light and air, and are not deprived of a suf ficient supply of nutrin.cnt by rapid grow ing por'ions ol t.ic ires above tl.cm. Uc casionally we see fruit buds formed on the end ofshcotiof one season's growth, but this is rare, except in particular varieties. The Quince is usually borne on the ends of spurs. The Peach, Apricot, and Nectarine. bear their fruits almost exclusively on hoots of the previous year ; the fruit buds forming during the first season's growth. The necesssity of Itecpir. up the last season's ".apply of young wood on all parts of tree, is therefore obvious. The shorts bear only once occasionally fruit spurs are produced from ether branches, but these are comparatively feebler ; nut to he relied on. The Plums and Cherry nie quite sim ilar in their modes of tearing. The shoots of last ycar,194Swi!l during 1S50, become furnished with fruit Luds that will produce fiuit in 1851. A few luds towards the extremities of the shoots arc usually devil- "t J into m H" -p l ., wImU 11 I l lst). below are transformed to fruit buds. I: fOifictimrs happens whm Cherry trees are not growing vigorously, that the buds nt the base of the shoots become fruit buds the first year', an J bear lui nest. The Morrtlfo Cherry and a few other of its class-, are exceptions of this rule, ami they bear like the peach on wood of the previous year, the fruit buds being formed rn the lower parts of the shout of the cur rent year. Oooicberrici and Currant produce :heir fruit like the Cherry and Plum. The fruit buds lorming on shoots the tcceiid year, and bearing the fiuit tl:c third and af terwards. The Crape Vine and Riifpherry are einiilar in mode of bearing and differ from 11 the others. The fruil is produced on hoots of the current ear's growth, sort ing froni wood of the previous j ear. Vuung hoots from other parts of the vine do not produce fruit, but will the year following produce fru:l' hearing word Genesee Farmer. The Garden and Farm. F.klt I'ea3." You ean not well sow y our peat too early. If there should he a little snow after they corne up it will not mT!rially injure them.'

Every garden should have a good Aspara agus bed, and a supply of Rhubarb plants. The asparagus requires but little attention to manure, fork over, and salt it down in the spring, but the Rhubab requires no thing but good rich soil, and to bo kept clear of weeds, and they furnish a very convenient and agreeable material for sauce, pies, und tarts. Thk rrtorEit soil roE potatoes. Many have thought wet ground best for potatoes at least to secure a large crop without reference to quality. But the potato needs moist land not wet. A farmer can hard ly rxprct to raise potatoes of a gTod quali ty on table land that is really wet althu' he may get a tolerable crop. Such land, however, is much better for potatoes than corn. But we have always noticed that the best crops of potatoes, both for quality and quantity, arc raised on deep porous soil, which, although they are not wet, re tain moisture weil. For instance, new grounds that h ive been burncJ over, and full of half burnt leaves and sticks, ashes n'nd coal and greensward pasture lands Which hsve just been turned over by the plough. The tubers of the potato delight nd f! mrish in such soils, w here they have GCtess to the atmosphere without Le nj; ei ther too much exposed to the scorching sun, cr . drowning water. Portland Ad vertiser. What can be done on one acre of ground. The editor of ".he Maine Cultivator pub lished, a few dr.ys sgo, his management of one acre of ground, from which ws gather th.? following results : One-third of an acre in corn usually produce thirty bushels ol 60und corn for grinding, besides some re fuse. This quantity was sufficient fo. family use, and for fatun-ng onS lare or two small hr.gs. From the same ground heobtuiticd twoor three hundred pumpkins, and his fun'ily supply of bvans. From a hed of six ro,!s square, he usually obtained sixty Luthe's of onions ; these he had sold . at one dollar a bushel, and the amount p ur- hased his flour. Thus, from one third of an acre and an onion bed, he obtained his breadstuff-". The rest of the ground was appropriated to all sorts of vegetables, for sumiiicr and winter use t potatoes, beets, parsnips, cabbse, green corn, peas, beans, cucumbers, melons, squashes, :c. ; with fifty or sixty bushels of beets and carrots for the food of a cow. Then he had also a fl wer garden, raspberries, curranU and gooscirrics in great variety ; and a few choice apple, rwar plum, cherry, peach and qiince tree. !i a family can be sunpor fd from one n're of ground in Maine, the same can hi d:ne iii every State and county in the Union.

It originated in Wil mington, Masr., vrrj near the spot where the B ildwin apple sprung up from the seed, and is as superior as a fall apple, as thv former is, as a winter one. In size it is about medium ; of roundish" form, with a yellow skin nearly or quite covered with brilliant red, in Mripcs or splashes; fl' sh yellow iih, fine, crisp, and tender ; with a peculiarly hih flivored, rich, abundant j'.iife.

The following bitter from Mr. Gillioray, the naturulist, on board of Her Mjpty's ship Rattlesnake, and dated Cape Yorke, October 16, 1319, will be read with inter est: "When the vessel arrived at Port Essington, news came that a white woman was alongside, brought off from the shore. Had I been told the blacks had opened fire upon us from a mortar battery on Albany Island, or that one of them had brought off I a correct solution of the quadrature of the circle made out in the native language, I would as soon have believed it yet it was true. The woman hd been wrecked three or four years ago iu Torres Straits, when, wiih hrr husband, (the skipper of the craft,) all but herself were drowned; but one of i!io blicks in a canoe, which' was out turtmiii, approaching the wreck, carried her out through the surf, supposing her w ith one arm and swimming with the oth er. She happened to be the only survivor. They took her to an island, w hich we con jecture to ba one of the Prince of Wales' group. She knew of our visit lost year to Cape York ; and a few days ago news came that the same ' largo war canoes of the white men,' with the small one, had arrived. She prevailed on her friead3 to take her across to the main, which they did, accompanying her in four largo ca noes. She had great difficulty in inducing them to do so, as they supposed she wished to escape ; but she told them that after see. ing her white countrymen and shaking hands with- them, she would return. Of course she won't. I vf ry much admired her answer when Capt. Stanly asked whether, of her own free will, (for be would do nothing by compulsion,) she wished to re turn to Sidney, where her parents were w hen she left. She said" I am a Chris tian ;' the remainder of the sentence she could not express, her leelings choked her, and her tongue refused its office. She had forgotten much of her own language, and had frequent recourse to that of the blacks when w Uhing to explain herself. Poor woman ; she is not more then 20, j (19 or 20 she says, and though' not pret- ty, ha a soft, feminine, and very pleasing ! expression, at'd though living aked j savages for several years, she had not lost the natural feelings of womanly modesty, and appeared to feel acutely her situation, dressed only in a shirt, in the midst of her own countrymen. It is almost unnecessary to mention that every kindness and consid erate attention had been shown her, and that she goes with us to Sidney. She told the three blacks (one her rescuer from drowning, another an old friend of ours last year) that of her own free will sha wished to leave '.hem. They were liberal; ly rewarded with axes, knives, &c., and are now sleeping on board." H. O. HICKOK, Editor. O. N. WOBDEN, Publisher.

Correspondence of the Chronicle. Ralston, Lycoming Co., Pa., ? May 6, 1850. J Mr. Editor t Supposing it would be. agreeable to you to hear from the "jump ing off place,'' which ultimatum we flatter ourselves we have at last attained, we have ventured to forward you a sheet from this region. Rilston is situated in a winding, level valley, but a few hundred yards in width. but which furnishes the only means of communication, free from mountainous roads, between Wilhamspori and Southern New York. On either side of this plain, there are successive-ranges of mountains, rolling higher and higher, like huge waves of the sea, until they become lost in the dusky horizon. I Tiave not examined the last census with the view of ascertaining its population, but if I dare be so presumptuous I would esti mate the number at twenty-Jive souls, all told men, women and children, (which latter, bv the wav. are most numerous, Ralston having become proverbial for its trout and babies.) There are here two hotels, ok of which is kept by our accommodating host, Cofi lkv, whose "entertainment for man and horse,' bed and board, is unsurpassed in this part of the country. His rooms are convenient and well ventilated ; his table is furnished with the best, and that in abun dance ; whilst recent improvements have given him ample accommodations for " beasts" ! mean quadrupeds, for bipedal animals to whom this cognomen is applied are not sheltered. " Mine host'' is an ac commodating, cheerful and liberal person age, and merits as he receives the patron age of most who visit Ralston. On? item contributing to the celebrity of Ralston, is the fact or its being the tempo rary terminus of the Williamsport & El mira Railroad, and owing to the arrange ments of the stage and R.R. companies trav elers are detained here over night. Another item is the abundance of trout in the Ly coming and its tributaries flowing in the vicinity of the town. An expert angler may, at favorable times, capture from fifty to sixty dozen of these fish in the course of a short excursion, and li is owing to these facilities for trout-fishing thai the place is frequented' by numbers from the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Balti more, Pittsburg, Sec. The harvest of the sportsman during the proper season is fully satisfacto ry in the number of bears, deer, ducks, pheasants, p'geons. Ace, which may be captured, and occasionally a wolf or wild' cat may' be taken. Some of the latter have bseh kilted in rather objectionable PH)X.ifT'US jlf"'tJ""'Uu lilt IIIiH If you are not acquainted with the beau ties of trout-fishing this would be the place for your initiation, and you must not be discouraged if in the pursuit of these deli cious creatures you might chance to have your feet not very gently relieved from the duty of supporting the body by a slimy rock, although vou might suppose that the answer to the pray er contained in a fishy poem " Jove grant you strength, O gentle trout, To pull the rascal in," was realized in your case. It has been remarked that the romantic and sublime associations at Ralston are fa vorable to the inspiration of poetic fire. Perhaps some of the bards connected with your valuable print would derive advantage from a visit to the " Rock Run Hotel." J. W., Jr. For the Lewisburg CimnUte. A Want, supplied. Mr. Editor : Hitherto, it has been almost impossible for any one who wished to visit Lewisburg, on pleasure or business, to get to or from the Canal.wilhout much trouble, expense, or inconvenience. This has been a standing reproach against your Borough, of which Milton and Williamsport have rightly availed themselves, not only in money, but in a good name for enterprise and hospitality. I am happy to learn, by experience, that this reproach is about to be removed. 1 now find an omnibus ready to convey passengers from town to the Cross-Cut, at 9 every evening, (except Sundays) in time for the down Packet ; and at 4 in the morning, it takes over passengers in time for the up Packet, and also conveys passengers to town. The passengers are delivered at any part of tho town for 25 cts. only. Nor is this the only convenience. Your old friend Mr. Wm. Porter, has taken the Warehouse and Dwelling at the Crossci't, where be is pre pared to entertain passengers who may have occasion to wait, with lodging and f'Mid, iu comfortable style and at reasonable charges. As the packet becomes more punctual, fewer delays will occur. As it is, all corning up or going down may be sure of good treatment by Mr. Porter at his house or store, and of safe carriage to and from town by Mr. Sterner, at little trouble or expense. These facts should be made known for the public good ; and those gentlemen should be supported and encou raged and rewarded for their laudable ef forts. A Tiavelek. Dreadful Steamboat Disaster-Loss of Ufa The steamer Bt-lle of the West, on her w ay 'from Cincinnati to St. Louis, with a large number of passengers, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 23d ult., one mile below Warsaw, Ky., and it is sup posed th it over one hundred persons per ished ! An eye witness thus describes the appalling scene : "The fire was discovered about 12 o'clock in the hold, and she was immediate ly run ashore. She was then made fast and the stage planks run out. Up to this moment the flumes had not burst forth. The after-hi!c?f was then raised for the purpose of getting water into the hold, but so rapid was the rush of flames, that all efforts to quell them were of no avail, and the entire boat became a blazing ruin. The total number of passengers is estimated at four hucdred, among whom were two com panies of California emigrants, and about thirty families removing westward. It is ascertained from the register that over sixty souls perished, and probably as many r.iore have been lost whose names were not en rolled. Such was the progress of the fire, that before the passengers could get out of the state-rooms all communication between the after cabin and the forward part of the boat was cut off, and all either were com pelled to jump overboard or perish in the flames. At the time the deck fell in a lady and gentleman, with a child in Iii arms, were standing between the chim neys. A largo number of horses and cattle were burnt to death. The scene, taken altogether, is represented as having been the most awful ever witnessed on the western waters.' A large number of the passengers were from Pennsylvania. It was feared that two families from Lewisburg were among? the lost,abut it is since concluded, from an examination of the list, that they were not on bo3'rd that boat. Another Steamboat Disaster. On the 21st of April, the steamboat An thony Wayne slopped at Sandusky, with 10 steerage and 20 cabin passengers. She took from the train 34 passengers, which, including her crew of 20, made in all 64 souls on board. On Sunday morn ing, when nearly opposite Vermillion, both boilers blew up, making a complete wreck of the boat, and hurrying from thirty-five to forty hvman tovh into eternity. The case of Mr. Archer Brackney, one of the passengers on board the steamer, at the time of the explosion, is of thrilling interest. He was on his way from Lafay ette, la., to Philadelphia, with the remains of his wife and ehi'd, rcc.t'ly decease!). Both of the corpses were enclosed in one box. Whciv explosion took place he suc ceeded In dragging his two living children from their rooms, and with them plunged into the water. After swimming around for a short time he came in contact with the bos containing hit wife and (hild. niiMJaia aa an nawJ, r l keeping himself and children from drown ing, although every wave would roll bis frail support and plunge them in the water, until at last his little boy, two years old, was drowned in his arms. After becom ing satisfied that his boy was dead, he re luctantly parted with the body, and turned his attention to the rescue of the remaining child, who was clinging around his neck, crying, Papa, we shall drown!" He fi nally succeeded in gaining the floating part of the w reck, with his little diuhter, and both were saved. Gold and Graves. The N. O. Crescent says : A gentle.naa who has just returned from California, having been absent from the Slates about fourteen months, states that when he reached California, curiosity led him to visit a graveyard, where he found only eleven graves ; nine months from that time he followe d the last remains of a friend to the same graveyard, and during the time intervening between the two visits there had been no less than fourteen hundred persons interred in the same yard. Declinations. The late Harrisburg Democratic papers contain cards of Judge Lapnrte, (Surveyor General) and John N.'
