Erectly as food and indirectly as a pro
fitable industry. Just as in other parts
wor !d a man's wealth is reckoned
hVt’te number of sheep, cattle or horses
i -ch he can call his own, so here the
orange tree forms the unit of value. You
'’o not say, such a one is worth several
thousand pounds, but that he has a
quinta containing so many tree?. High
ffnd low, rich and poor, alike derive
tH-ir income from oranges. Whether it
to aood or evil, the population are ccr
luiulv not “divorced from the soil ’in
the Azores, for while the proprietor has

The peasant rejoices in the “tints that
did the greenest bough”, upon his own (
Sozen or half dozen trees. During the
year when the orange trees are yielding
do fruit, maize or beans are grown be
;weeu their ranks, but seldom after
wards, unless the owners be very poor
~r ve ry greedy. The islanders devote
their whole time, thought and energies
to the cultivation of the orange, and
watch over the trees with great care and
anxiety, to preserve them from the vio
lence of the elements or the ravages of
that destructive insect, thh coccus. The
crop is generally bought by merchants
before it has reached maturity, and there
:L re professional valuers who have at
tained great precision in calculating the
produce of each tree. After the bargain
is made, however, the weather or the in
sects may play sad havoc with the
quinta, and cause heavy loss to the
purchaser. The well known St. Michael
•' ranges, are from the largest of the
Azores, which upon an area ot 229 miles,
yields annually oranges to the value of
about $450,000, and to the number of
marly 300,000,000. A seventh of this
quantity is usually consumed by the in
habitants ; the rest exported.
There is a defect in the city charter of
Burlington, Vt., which renders it mill
auu void, and us the people have voted
the town out of existence, there are no
local authorities to enforce the laws.

J S. T-30 LOAN.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury,
the uudersign-ed lias assumed the General Sub
scription Agency for the sale of United States
Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three-tenths
per cent, interest, per annum, known as the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
These Notes are issued under dale of August
l 'th, 1*464, and we payable three years from that
time, in currency, or are convertible at the
option of the holder into
UNITED STATES 5-‘io SIX PER CENT.
GOLl>-BEARING HO.VJ S.
These bonds are now worth a premium of nine
per cent., including gold interest from Nov.,
which makes the actual profit on the T-30 loan, at
current race, including interest, about ten tier
«ect per annum, besides exemption from State
and ‘YUMiicrpal taxation, which adds from one to
three per pent. mori\ according to the rate levied
on other property. The interest is payable semi
annually by coupons attached to each note,
which may be cut off and sold to any bank or
banker.
The interest amounts to
One cent, per day on a SSO note.

$1 “ “ “ SSOOO *•
Notes of all denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by the Government, and it is confi
dently expected that its superior advantages will
moke it the
GREAT POPULAR LQAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than $2,000,000 remain unsold, which will
probably be disposed of within the next GO or 9)
days, when the notes will undoubtedly command
a premium, as has uniformly been the case on
closing the subscription to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and sec
tion of the country may be afforded facilities for
taking the loan, the National Banks, State
Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the
country have generally agreed to receive sub
scriptions at par. Subscribers will select their
own agents, in whom they have confidence, and
who only are to be responsible for the delivery of
the Notes fox which they receive orders.
