Plant trees early--as soon as circumstances will permit after the wood is ripe. Don't wait till tho leaves fall, but cut them off, being careful not to injure the buds. Late planting, however, if well done, may be equally successful. 5. Secure all trees from being blown about by tho winds, and mulch i half rotten manure, or leaves three or four inches deep.

Asparagus, rhubarb, gooseberries, and currants should all be planted in the Fall, as early as possible. Also bulbs, such as hyacinths, tulips, Pup or Kitten.

Western Reserve Chronicle says on Monday morning last, Mr. Robert Hamilton, of Johnston, in Trumbull county, was killed by his daughter, in insane. Tho young woman, (Catharine Hamilton,) has been dc- ranged for some years or more.

On Monday morning about throo or four o'clock, the girl came down to her parents' room and a randte, receiving which she went into tho kitchen, lighted it, and soon returned, holding an axe in her hand.

She said that her parents wore bad people, and that she would kill them. She then struck her father five or six blows, with tho axe, on the head, nock and breast, killing him instantly. Tho mother sprang from the bed, grappled with the girl, and after a struggle of half ai hour, wrested the axe from her, left her in the house, and ran to a neighbor for help. On Tuesday she was taken to tho Newburg, in charge of Sheriff Lyman.

Ever since 1S30, it has been tho practice of political leaders in this State to attribute all our business revulsions and monetary panics to the Tariff, and the people havo become so accustomed lo this that they really think that raw- hcad-and-bloody-boncs to be the cause of nincteen-twontieths of all their mis- cries and misfortunes. -The Democratic party, not being willing to pander to this prejudice, and never abandoning its principles for mere buncombe, has again and again fallen a victim tq this popular delusion, while tho opposing party has gathered success from it. In the campaign which has just closed, the Tariff was unquestionably the primary cause of the success of the Opposition. Tho leaders of that organization pictured, in glowing colors, the general depression of business under which tho people were suffering, and promised a speedy and salutary reform in case of their success. The masses heard them, and bciug willing to do anything for a change, because they considered a change tho necessary forerunner of improvement, they united in securing tho defeat of the Democratic party.

They wero not convinced by argument tliat such a course would be beneficial, because really no argument was used; but they woro led by an ignut-fatuvs of hope which was kept Senator Douglas, lie says Uie Senator proposed to his influence with that of Mr. Blair, Ikmublican member of Congress from St. drfcut lion.

Steubenville General Itakloy, an Old-Lino Whig, known to every person in this district, attended the Democratic Convention at Harlem on tho 10th. and addressed tho Democracy.

Gen. Eckley, in company with a great many old Whigs, has left tho Abolition party-- they stood it as long as they could, nnd only loft it when thoyfouud that tho wero always expected to play on bad but one string, which sounded nogro all tho time and it is for this reason that old line Whigs intend to vote from this out with tho Democracy until tbo Abolition party is dissolved." KrTho Poniisylvaniaii says: Tho Indiana American, a paper devoted, wo find in the titlo page, to sound morals, pure temperance, and rare fun," raises as its candidates for tho next raco the names of John O. steadily before bchomcrs. them by the political l-'roiitont and John W.

The idea of placing CoUForney on the platform of sound morals and temperance is "rare fun," indeed. Another cause of the result, and'ono Which is probably more apparent to the casual observer than any other, existed in tho ranks of Uic Democratic party. This was a wide spread disaffection, and may be accounted for in this way. When Mr. Buchanan was elected President, hundreds and thousands of men in Pennsylvania who have been his personal and political friends, imagined that golden rewards would be showered down upon them, and that all they had to do was to and receiva had never before a President, and consequently her politicians were inexperienced.

They flocked around the Executive officer of the Government like the lazarctti of tho East around a traveller, and thi-ir cry was give, give, give! Many of these m6n were necessarily disappointed.

To them he was only a Pennsylvania President, and they wondered that ho thought of anything but Pennsylvania. When these men found that their expectations could not be realized, or their demands complied with, they determined to be revenged on the Crcsi- deftt by assailing the party which had electod him. The Lecompton Constitution was seized upon as a pretext, and the war'commenced.
