Do we not see how many of ih old orchards are lying olfllie wind, like ship weuthrriu! u gale. Then the sun and lhe frost acts upon the trunks- you can not go into an orchard of tall trees, without witnessing the effects of exposure on one side i nnd when once the trunk of a tree is diseased its vi"or and usefulness is at an end, Here, in these western prairie regions, more than any where else, all trees should be low headed so low. that when the trees begin to bear, the branches will reach the ground What glorious apple trees of this kind, we see in anine of the new orchards of Western New York : come of their trees when loaded with fruit, louk like great pyr aiui.lsof apples. Il gives us reat pleasure to see that this matter is already inn er stood in the West the lute planted or chards, ami lie nurseries, too, ufl rcl evi dences of this mid I find hut one opinion .o the subject, among the more iiiUlligi iit ,cu!uyators. I'or.tli- pear and the ehr-rry, this is still more i-Mi.o'ial titan fur the apple, because these trees re more delicate iu general, nnd injuries areu.uch more filial lo them. Ferbolh of thesfitrees, I prefer the pyra midal form, whether on dwarf or free stocks, not only because the trees in that form are beautiful, but bf tame, the trunks aud large brunches are inoro eflectuully protected. The finer pears are all easily injured by freeziug and thawing iu the bark, which is smoo'b and 'bin, and by keeping the trunk well feathered with branches U the ground, ii i seldom injur ed. Il should always be borne in mind, that the trunk of the tree is lhe main chan nel of circulation ; when it is injured cir culation is impeded and irregular, and a general debility quickly follows. Some people argue that this training of trees a low standards and pyramids, is both expen sive and unuatural, but I maintain that it is neiiher. The lw standard requires no more pruning alter the tree is planted, than the high one, and it is just as natural, and nnre natural, for a tree to branch at three feel from the ground than at eight ft. The pyramid does require tame piuning at firsr, to fu the habit, that is to secure a preponderance of vigor and size for the low er branches, when this is done, it become natqrl, for most pear and cherry trees, if left to themselves, in abundant space, would assuma u, pyramidal (,,rni voluntarily. man had u w ild expression of countenance, with bis eyes glaring, being under the in flu. nee of bhaii;!. of which lut bad consum id great quantities during (he three pre vious days to deaden pain. Thn uufortun ale native had two large iron hooks (not unlike those used by butchers at home fo hanging up meat) thrust through his back three inches apart, nnd making a wound four inches in length, from which the blood streamed down. This being done, lhe men tied the rope, which was 6xdto one of the ends of the horizontal pole, to th two hocks in his back, nnd likewise passed it through a cloth, which was tied slackly round his breast to prevent his falling lo the ground should the flesh give way which it sometimes does. They then pull el dowu the other end of the pole, wh oh of course raised theoiif w:ih the man along with it, and then inn round nigrea' speed for the spac' ol a quarter ol an hour. All this time the poor nmn was sujiended in the air ly lhe hooks in his hack, and whirl ing round fifty fret from the ground ; and f.oin the manner in which he kicked about his lc he appeared to be suffering ureal aeonv.

While '.irliumei.t are engaged in making inqui ry in reft relic to the torture employed by le govern. cent oHiuials in the presidency f Madras, for the. purpose of collecting the revenue from ) lie natives, I think they would do well to devise some plan by w!.ich they could totally abolish the practice I ave been endeavoring to describe, and hich could be more easily done now than in the previous year.

Mr. F. refuses to sell the plant at any price, in love, money or property ; con sequently he is sincere- in declaring this to be tho veritable "Kese of Sharon," "Pvoso ofJericho,"or''Starof Bulhlehem." This plant consists of a single fool stulk or stem below, about fuur inches long, which branches above into three principal limbs, each of which continues to ramify nguin and again, and finally terminates in a sc. d capsule. When dry, the multitodt of branches nnd tendrils thus produced are curved, robled and contracted into a ball about the size of a horse chesnut, or buck eye, wnich presents an appearance srnilar to that of a largo beetle, with its legs drawn to,'eiher. When placed iu ag'ass of water this ball gradually expands and unfolds, the branches sepernto slowly and extend laterally, until, after an immersion of three hours, they present a horizontal surface above, with circular margin, about ihree inches in it largest diameter. This specimen was eridcnily plucked after the flower leaves had fallen, and when the ripe seeds filled its capsules conse quen'ly, it dor a not present the elegant flo ral appearance of th sa in thu posnssiun of Dr. D ck, Prof. Torrey, Bishop Wain right, or Ba'Oi Von Humboldt. Thb Unitbd States of America Fore told iv the Bible. This was the suljecl ofa lecture, delivered by Mr. I'itts iu the Tabernacle, on Monday evening.

Almost all the gnat Rnmes of tho contest for Independence have cither become extinct, or are repre. touted by person, incapable of conferring any new distinction upon them. Wash ingtnn's representative is the person who now owns tho Mount Vernon estate, and who, to judge from recent occurrences, can lay no very broad claim to sense or talenli Franklin's family is extinct, and none of the name, even, make any figure in the cun try, though it is most respectably borne. Jefferson's name is not likely to have a sec ond place in our history, from the exer tions ef any one belonging lo the family of the great democrat. The family exist! only in the female lino. The name of Gates figures no more among us, though it was so deservedly prominent during the Revolution, and it is now the fashion with fools to sneer at it, because of lha defeat of Camden, as if Washington himself had not been defeated on some fields. Wayne, too, is another name that, conspicuous in the war of '70, is now rarely mentioned. Montgomery is a revolutionary name that is common, but which is not distinguished. il we except that it is that of many coun' ties. It is one of the most popular names of the revolutionary age, all being ready to concede thnt Richard Montgomery "kept the witness of his soul," which is the mode that we pay for his early death. The name of Schuyler, too, which was most honorably distinguished eighty years ago, and for some lime afterwards, is now of no prominence The names of Heath, Sulli van, Starke, Knox, Putnam and Lee, alt brilliantly eminent In the Revolution, are now seldom heard in connection with pub lie life. Tho old stocks have either died out nltogother, or have become too en fe bled ( be productive. The revolutionary name that is most distinguished in our day i that of Prescotl, and which was alto emi nent in tho colonial times, having always maintained a high place here from the very commencement of American history. Of lha civilians of the Revolution, but few names have received late illustration. (ftT Upon a certain occasion in the Uni ted States Senate Mr. Buchanan, in the curse of a personal explanation, stated that ho had volunteered to go to Baltimore, in tho last war with Great Britain, when the British attacked that city. "I think I heard something about the gentleman's volunteering,' laid Mr. Clay, "but I under- stan I that when he arr'ned at Baltimore thnBiitish were gone." "Yea," repl td Mr. Buchanan, 'lhy were." "Well," said Mr. Clay, '! merely wi.hed to know h'tlpr Mr. Buchanan volunteered be cause he knew the British were gone, or whether the British went away bet .. ihey heaid Mr. Buchanan was coming." 03" "My brudde"," laid a wegih col ored man to a crowd ''in all inflictions, in II ob yer trubbles, dar is one place yei an always find sympathy!"
