Can W6 <Jo it white the leaves are / yet i... green or wa t till .... near winter, . after they have fallen? The answe may be. do it whenever the work dan be done, and while the soil is in proper condition as to dryness for working properly. If done early, the leave, meat be alf care fully strippod off, to prevent the rapid evaporation of moisture. We have known trees to have been entirely spoil ed in a few hours by wilting from csre in not removing the leaves when taken up. In the Northern States, nur¬ serymen usually commence digging by the first of October. Some trees have entirely i, ceiwed .? growing by thie time, ’ including . j. generally cherries, , . plums, , and pears. If the leaves are remov they may now be taken up and trans planted, as well a 3 at any time in Au tumn or the following Spring. Others have not fully completed the ripening the assistance of the v—* leaves. The only harm done in taking up at this time is in giving utimatured shoots on some parts of the trees, instead of those well ripened and hardened, and the result will be that t some of # the ., t,ps ,. may , be nipped by the frosts of winter, or they ^ will not start in spring with so much certainty and vigor. Hardy kinds, as the apple will not be much injured in this way ; and the peach, although tender, should be shortened Wwck to spring'in any ease. It Win be sufe thereftire. with 'a exceptions, to take up tree* aby time alter first of October—care being taken to do the work well asalready-indicated. The soil should be iu such ^'condition as to be easily thade fine and'melioW, e° that it may be filled in perfectly among the roots without having inter stioes. Staking against wind, or affect ing Z,. the same Jr purpose r by a mound earth ■ about . .. the should , , be stem, . not , We havenever succeeded better, than Terms Three by taking up trees about mid-autumn heeling them in by hurrying the roots and half the stems for winter, and setting out early in Spring. They, -however, do quite as well set in au*fcttm , fr, provid¬ ed they are hardy sorts, and tire site i8 not a windy one. In healing for win¬ ter, it is absolutely essential to All in all the interstices among the roots very compactly with fine earth. Many trees are particular. needlessly lost by carelessness in this The roots are injurned by dryness or mouldiness, and the mice find easy access among cavities. To exclude mice effectually, the heeling ground should be clean and a smooth mound of raised am all sides aboi^ the trees* -* «n» - A Bloody Wedding.— We learn that while a party was assembled at the resi¬ dence uf Mr. Hargreave, in Reed’s prai¬ rie, Grimes county, Thursday night, to attend the marriage of Mr. H.’s daugh¬ ter, and a few minutes after the cere¬ mony had been performed, a company of soldiers, in pursuit of some one sup posed td be fliere, surrounded the house and demanded its surrender. Mr. Har greave offered to surrender the house aud every one in it, and went out to the captain of the squad. The re port tp us is, that while Mr. H. was bu t% H pistol in the hands bf’a^yhung man in the 1 house The went soldiers officeidentally. in Vj ' -l* front of the house im¬ mediately opened fire, , A Miss Russel, had jpst stepped upou the gulleryj -to . get a dribk, when she was nit in the head with a ininnie ball, and in the leg with a buckshot, and "insthfifly krllted. A Mr. Fowler'nfras bta/’hillttdi *=t4fDHa « Pesrce and Mrs. Autery were wounded*'* With the first shot the gentlemen in the house started everyone to lie down flat upon the floor.

It is sometimes useful to hear what our neighbors have to isay with fiderdiiee to the workings Of Democratic institu¬ tions in the United States.
