From, the Netc-Ycrk Farmer. Hints on JPnmingnY j. buel. The principal objects of pruning, arc to procure a good bole or trunk for timber; to form ahead for the protection of fruit; and to subserve the purpose of ornament. To effect these objects, with the least trouble and greatest advantage, upon all non-resinous trees, the following rules are recommended: 1st. Begin to prune the tree when it is young. 2d. Cut clos? and smooth to the bole or limb. 3d. Cut, when small, the branches which are likely to interfere, or become useless, and which, if suffered to remain, will require to bo removed at a more advanced period of growth. 4. Do not trim to excess. Let the branches occupy, at least a third of the entire height of a tree. 5. Do not prune when the tree bleeds. Where the preceding suggestions are obseived, we may add G. Prune in the Summer. I proceed to offer my reasons for the rules here recommended, and First. The food required to nourish the lateral U3elcs3 branches, will go to increase the diameter and height of the plant, or swell the fruit, if these

are judiciously removed. But a main consideration is, that the excision of small branches causes only small wounds, and small wounds speedily heal. The observance of this rule, therefore, facilitates growtli, promotes health, and ultimately saves labor. Second.lt. This rula needs very little argument to enforce its propriety, as every observer must have frequently seen and lamented the ruinous effects of an opposite practice. The snags either send out useless spray; or, deprived of the feeble aid of these, they die and rot, and carry disease into the bole, and are thus often the cause of the premature loss of the entire tree. If cut close, the enlargement of the living wood soon covers the wound. In large branches, where the saw must be used, the healing process is greatly facilitated, by pearing the cut, particularly the exterior edges, with the pruning knife; and it is a good precaution, before you use the saw, to notch under the intend- . ed cut, to prevent tearing the bark when the limb fall?. In extirpating sprouts from the roots, and neither they nor those growing from the bole should be suffered long to remain, the like precaution of cutting close should be observed; for which purpose it is necessary first to remove the earth from about the collar, with the spado or other instrument. Thirdly. The reasons for pruning a tree while young, apply here: It is easier to cut small than Urge limbs, and the wounds of the former sooner heal. But the question presents, what limbs are to bo cut? Generally all that are likely to cross each other, all feeble spray, the strongest on the bole, end the weakest in the lop; for while the trees arc in nursery, I think it serviceable to leave a few scattering laterals upon the bole, and it is beneficial, at all ages, to thin most kinds in the lop. Yet the answer to the inquiry will depend principally upon the species of tree, and the design of the planter. If his object be timber, the leading shoot should be feathered up in a spiral form, and all other shoots likely to interfere with its growth be cutaway. If the object be fruit, beauty and utiliity are to be consulted, and these arc seldom incompatible in the eyes of a fruit grower, for with him productiveness constitutes beauty. If ornament be the main consideration, no special directions can bo given, as the species employed, the location, and the taste and fancy of the planter, will have a controlling influence. The rule for timber trees will not apply to either those destined for fruit or ornament. In orchard and garden fruit, generally, the endeavor should be to obtain a low and spreading top. When a clean bolo is obtained to a sufficient height, say, in the orchard, of seven or eight feet, and in the garden, according to fancy, the leading shoot should be cut in, and three or four more branches left to form the head; which, when the habit of the treo will permit it, should be pruned so as to give it a besom form, or that of a broom divested of its centre. Several advantages arise from this and a more extended form. It admits the air more freely, to mature the fruit and wood; it renders the tree less liable to be blown down; it facilitates the gathering of the fruit, and the pruning of the tree. But its principal advantage consists in its tendency to increase oviparous or fruit buds, and consequently fo augment the fruit. A great . growth of wood seems to bo incompatible with a great crop of fruit, and vice versa. A cow which gives much milk seldom takes on much flesh during the milking season. If the secreted food is converted into milk and fruit, there can be but little reasonable hope of its adding to the flesh of the animal, or the wood of the vegetable. Erect branches produce most wood buds. Straight limbs produce less fruit than those that are curved or crooked. Whatever retards or diminishes the flow of elaborated sap, in a healthy tree, i3 favorable to . th2 production of fruit. Hence wall trees, whose limbs are trained in the form of a fan, or in a horizontal direction, bear fruit better than these that grow upright as standards. Hence young trees are more apt to show blossoms the first and second year after transplanting, than in the two subsequent years. Promologists have endeavored to render this law of vegetation subservient to their interests, by adopting artificial means for reducing the production of fruit buds. These means consist in ring-barking, transplanting, cutting the roots, training, pruning, &c. The pears in tho Caledonian horticultural garden aro trained en quenouille, that is, the lateral branches are cut in to a short distance of tho main stem, and kept so, and the fruit is produced on the spurs growing from these short branches. In the horticultural garden of London, the limbs of the pear aro tied down in a drooping position, resembling somewhat in appearance, the weeping willow. Tho vines cultivated at Thomery, celebrated for their superior fruit, are planted eighteen inches apart, trained in the form of a T,

the top horizontally, and restricted in their growth to four feet from tho main stem. In this way a treillace of eight feet long, and eight feet high, is sufficient for five vines, which produce upon an average 320 bunches of fruit. These modes of training have a common object, that of restricting the growth of wood, and producing an increase of fruit. Those who wish to examine the modes of training hero spoken of, in detail, are referred to Louden1: Gardener's Magazine. Fourthly. Leaves are as necessarv in the econ

omy of vegetation as roots. The sap must be elaborated in these before it can be transmuted into wood, bark or fruit. A tree cannot thrive, therefore, when these organs are deficient or diseased. If sufficient leaves or branches to produce them, aro not left to concoct, or digest, the sap, which is propelled from the roots, the tree, to use a modern term, but a just comparison, becomes dyspeptic; the vegetable blood is vitiated; the wood loses its texture, and a stunted growth, or premature death generally ensues. Hence great precaution should be used against excessive pruning. Fifthly. To prune when the tree bleeds, tends to debilitate, by wasting what is designed as food for the tree. I have known it fatal to tho vine. What is termed bleeding is the flowing of the sap from wounds before it has been converted into aliment. This sap flows most freely while the buds arc swelling, and until the leaves are fully capable of discharging their office, as is strongly instanced in tho maple, birch, &c. Our orchards are generally pruned in March, which is probably tho most unfavorable month in the year for this operatio.i. Sixthly. The advantages of summer pruning are, that the tree being then in vigorous growth, the wounds heal speedily; and the sap being concocted and thick, does not flow from the wounds, and thereby impair the health of the plant. Summer pruning should not bo performed, however, before July, when the new growth has considerably advanced. It may be well to add, as this suggestion may seem unsound, that summer pruning is recommended by the best authorities. "As a general rule," says Pontey, "summer is preferable to winter pruning:" and Sang suspends pruning "from the beginning of February to the middle of July, but carries it on during every other month of the year." In regard to evergreens, which with us, are confined principally to resinous trees, it is the general practice of nursery men. and I think it a judicious one, not to prune them until they have acquired some years growth, and then but sparingly and at long intervals, displacing two or three tiers of the lower branches every two or three years. Montcith says, "never cut off a branch until it has begun to rot, as the bleeding of a live branch will go far to kill the tree.-' The implements employed in pruning and the manner of using them, are matters of moment. If the operation is commenced when the tree is young, and judiciously followed up, a good knife, a small saw, and a chisel fixed on a six foot handle, to trim tho tops and extremities of the branches, are all the tools that are required. A large saw will be occasionally wanted; but an axe or hatchet should never bo employed, as they fracture the wood, bruise and tear the bark, and disfigure the tree. J. BUEL. Albany, December 1S30. The Gardener's Magazine for October, has a communication from John Bowers, recommending summer as having a decided preference. The growth of trees thus pruned, he says, far exceeds that of the winter pruned. He commenced the practice in 1820, when his trees were six feet high; and in the autumn of 1629, they were twenty teet. He lias this year summer-pruned 100 acres of young plantations, which in August were stated to be remarkably thriving and healthy. CONCLUSION of Mr. Benton's speech on Mr. Clarfs resolutions relative to the removal of the Deposites. Now is the time to fight tho great battle of GOLD and PAPER! It is in vain to think of fighting it hereafter, if the Bank is vicfoi nous now. lhc retorm ot tho cold currencv Air. T J B. said, was a part of his original plan in opposing the renewal of the United States Bank charter; it was still tho darling object of his heart, the splendid vision of his midnight dreams, and midday thoughts ! and with the leave of the Senate, ho would read, as a part of his present speech, and in illustration of his sentiments on currency, a set of resolutions which had long since been drawn up, and only awaited the proper occasion, a victory over the U. States Bank, to lay before the Senate, and claim their action upon them. He would read them, without oiTering them, at this time, for consideration. THE RESOLUTIONS. Reform of the Gold Currency. Resolved, that it is the true intent and meaning of the Constitution of the United States, that the federal currency of the United States shall consist only of gold and silver coin; and that thero is nothing, in the present state and condition of the country, to justify any supposed plea of necessity for departing from that plain intent of the Constitution, by issuing, or permitting any corporation to issue any species of fudenl paper currency whalj ever. Resolved, That the quantity of gold derivable Virginia, Georgia, and Alabama; and the quantity of silver derivable from foreign commerce, are simply sufficient to supply the people of the United States with hard money, if not expelled from the country by unwise and erroneous laws, made by Congress. Resolved, That that the value now set upon gold and silver coin, both foreign and domestic, by the laws of the United States, is erroneous, and prejudicial to the country, and has (with the aid of a federal bank) occasioned the total expulsion of silver d7Zars, from circulation; and that it is the bounden duty of Congress to restore these coins to circulation, by restoring them to their true value, refusing

to re-charter the Bank of the United States, and discountenancing, and rejecting from receivability in payment of federal duties, all Bank paper of less denomination than twenty dollars. Resolced, That it is the true intent and express meaning of the constitution, that foreign gold and silver coins shall circulate in the United States as freely as domestic coins, and that to comply with such intent of the Constitution, it is expedient that foreign gold and silver coins, (of the principal commercial nations,) of approved fineness, recent coinage, not clipped or fraudulently reduced in weight, should bo authorized by law to pass current in the United States by count, and not by weight, like the coins issued from our own mint.

Having read theze resolutions, Mr. B. pledged

himself to the American people, in the face of the j"How corn?" "Eighty." "How rye?'1 "Five ShilSenato, to attempt a reform of the gold currency, if j ling?." "Well," said farmer Buck, "you are right, some more competent hand did not anticipate him, Mr. Pinch, there is a pressure, but it is the right the moment Congress was disembarrassed of the j way. It's a high pressure. Prices are better great contest for power and supremacy between ; now, than they have been for five years past; we

March 2, j Extraordinary Gale. The most serious l.unij cane which we ever witnessed in this section of the -i country, took place at Lymansville, Potter county, on Thursday last, 20th instant, about four . ! o'clock, P. M.; the particulars of which, s related country by Mr. John Eaile, Jr. who was an eye witness to the sad catastrophe, are briefly as follows: It commenced on the point of a hill, south of tho lt . 1 m village, and taking a northerly direction, it levelled ! the timber in its course, till it camo to tho Saw ; occupied by Major Lvman, tkinfr the upper story off, and making a complete wreck of the lower; al so the shed nnd wagon houso were literally torn to ru literally torn to j pieces. Next the house occupied by William Crosby, was blown down, with Mr. C. his wife, and i three children; but fortunately none were injured. Next a largo house formerly occupied by Harry Lyman was unroofed, and the body very much injured ; also on the opposite side of the street, a large barn and forty foot shed, wero levelled to tho ground. Next three log building?, a school house, dwelling house, and blacksmith shop, were unroofed. Next the dwelling house of Cephus Nelson was unroofed. Next a barn belonging to Almond Woodcock was also blown down, in which thero were two span of horses, and three boys ; one of the horses was killed, and tho others slichtlv iniured: tho boys were blown about twelve rods, and one ofj

them (a son of Mr. W.) hid his thigh broke. Next two houses am! a barn belonging to Mr. Btllis; tho barn was blown, down and tho houses unroofed Next a house and barn of Mr. Almond Woodcock1; the Iiouso was unroofed and the barn blown down. Continuing its course in a northern direction, it terminated its destructive effects about a mile north of tho village. All the timber in its range was entirely swept to the ground, and fences and orchards completely destroyed. Tho whole village presented a general mass of ruins. The fields arc completely covered with boards, timber and shingles, which .were blown from the buildings, Kvcry building in the villago was cither destroyed, or very materially injured; and what is more remarkable, no lives wera lost! The loss must no doubt be seriously felt by many. The hail were measured for curiosiiy, and several measured fivo inches in circumference.
