JRDINARY PREVALENCE OF SLUGS UPON CORN.—

e young corn receives much inlury, may interest
ltural readers :—Mr. Tillier, a farmer of great re-
living at Harmondsworth, finding a prodigious
slugs on his wheat lands, has employed4o women
s in destroying them. The plan he has adopted
'meads of turnip leaves over the land, and in
-6 to shake the slugs off those leaves ; they have
been shaken into baskets, and however astonishing it may
appear, no less than 20 bushels of slugs have been thus de-
stroyed upon 42 acres in the three weeks. These destructive
little vermin, but for this precaution, would have so much
injured the seed in its early stage of vegetation, that there
would at the most have been only half a crop, unless the land
had been sown a second time, a plan at all times bad, inde-
pendent of the expense.

LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—TWO BROTHERS DROWNED.
:asday afternoon, about four o'clock, two fishermen,
brothers, named Reynolds, belonging to the Blue-eyed Maid,
fishing-smack, of Dover, were drowned about a mile off that
port, under the following circumstances :—The vessel was
approaching the harbour to land some fish, and finding,
from the state of the tide, that she could not enter, a number
of baskets of fish were placed in the boat, into which the two
Reynolds also entered to pull her ashore. The boat was then
towed astern, and the smack, to give her a lift on her way,
stood for the harbour, when, by the sudden jerk of the pain-
ter, together with the heavy swell, the boat was upset, and
both men washed out of her. Unfortunately, at the time,
iething went wrong with the net, or the rigging of the
ck, and the two people left on board were unable to do any
g with her for some time. A line was, however, hove
`he smack to the men, and we understand one of them
but was unable to hold on, and that the other had
boat, but could not keep it, from the force with
Nged through the water. It appears both

GUANO MANUKE.—It is with much pleasure we can
speak from personal observation of the wonderful beneficial
and nutritive qualities of this manure. We allude more par-
ticularly to the testimony of Mr. Nott, of the parish of
Hallen, in Worcestershire, where we were eye-witnesses, not
than four weeks ago, of the facts he has stated to the
ny, who are with such praiseworthy intentions at-
ig to introduce this manure into general use. The
only tear we entertain is the limit and costliness of the sup-
