D. G. W. CAUTION TO PuRCHASERS or Trees, &c.—We notice that a large share of the trees and vines brought to this market have mutilated or dried up rocte. It is reasona. ble to say that such things will not grow as well as those recently taken from the ground, or those with roote well preserved. We have found by experience that a well and fresh roeted vine or tree is worth more for planting than a half dozen dried up articles } Generally the dried thing makes little growth the first year, if it even lives. Parties purchasing such articles can put a stop to pedGling dried up trees, &c., by refusing to buy only the beet. It is just as easy for venders of trees to sell good us bad ones, but. while purchasers will take the poor ertele the in_.p. dueement for peddlers to bring them to_mar—abruct the rising generation in-ell the arte of ket i too great as damuged goods are sold to them at a reduced rate.

It was evidently issued before the Nashville, with her valuable cargo of bank note paper, ran the blockade on her late arrival from Europe. The nute is dated “Richmond Virginia, July 25, 1861,” and signed “ C. C.

Un__A ‘Terrace S8rrvation.—In a new melo-drama recently gotten up at the New BowTheatre, New York, a famous robber is taken and his head exhibited to the audience, by being placed on a table in the centre of . Te accomplish this to the life, the robber’s body is fixed in the body of the table, and his neck is fitted into a hole, so th t, to the audience, it looks precisely as though the man’s head had been cut off and stood up in & pool of his own blood upon the table. On the fifth night of the exhibition, a wag got into the third tier of : the stage boxes, and by some unexplained manoeuvre, manaded to blow a lot of Scotch snuff over the stage just at the time the head was upon the table. As soon as the sauff bad begun to settle down, the head commenced sneezing to the no small amusement of the audience, and, as the sneezing could pot be stonees. the curtain fell roars of laughter.
