This state of the soil, is too compact to ad-
NIT or the free extension of the roots, even
when moist but wnen hardened by drougnts,
every particle of nutriment not in contact
with some OF the roots, is effectually locked
up from the suffering plants. So that it Of
ten, nay almost always happens, on lands
worked this way, unless very rich indeed,
that crops of wheat that look promising in
the fall and early in the spring, begin to de-
cline towards harvest; and people are com
planning of the unfavourable appearance of
their wheat: when harvest arrives the straw
is almost too short to cut, and the heads a.
bout half the proper length, and those not
we'll filled, yielding six or seven bushels to
the acre, where twelve or fifteen might have
been reasonably expected, from the quality
of the soil: these appearances and products
agree with my constant observation for many
years past, especially on early sowed corn
ground, damages by fly, rust, &c. excepted.
If manures are applied to shalLop rcorked
soils, their good effects in general, will be of
short duration, as most kinds must soon inc.
vitality travel the road the virgin sell
has before them. shall enumerate some OF
the good effects to be expected, and which
are constantly experienced by a CONTRARY
practice, viz DEEP PLoUGHING, when judi
ciously pursued and then endeavour to prove
the futility of the arguments adduced in favor
of shallow ploughing.
In the cultivation of plants, three things are
particularly necessary First, that sufficient

place On Saturday morning last, between
MIR. Moses Myers and Mr.. Richard Bow
den, in the course Of which several blows
passed, and Nh. Myers was good deal
hurt. Mr.. Samuel Myers, a very promis-
ing young man, and the son Of Mr.. Mo-
ses Myers, hearing of this transaction
soon after it took place, Immediately arm
ed himself with pistol, and going to Mr..
Bewden's store in a fit of high irritation,
excited by what he had heard of the iniu-
ries offered to his father, shot Mr.. Bow
den. who Immediately fell dead The
unhappy young man Was soon afterwards
arrested, aad is now in close confinement.
awaiting his trial, which, we understand,
is to take place in few days.
N!G. Bowden has left disconsolate VII
dow and three young children to deplore
their loss. He was an aiitrtienate hHs-
band, an mdulgent father, and enter
prizing and useful citizen.
! Mr.. Bowden enjoyed the confidence and
affection Of his acquaintance in an emf
nent degree. To the. most gentle, uras-
suming manners, he added dignity Of de-
pertinent which commanded universal re-
spect. Emerging from the obscure occu-
patton OF a carpenter, he opened his way
into the commercial community, under
disadvantages which would have appalled,
any other man. Bat to a mind ardent
and enterprizins, combined with deter
mination to subdue all difficulties, the
want of capital, OF patrons, and of educa-
ton, were circumstances CT small consider
alton. He soon rose into notice, and in a
few years ranked among the NEST success
tui ana euterprizing Of Or merchants.
! In the ardor OF his pursuits, lie did not
neglect the cultivation of his mind from
day to day his improvement WAS rapid and
obvious, and upon most commercial sub
,iects acquired a maturity of Judgment
which entitled his opinions to great cou-
sideration. by his death a chasm has
been left i'll society which will not soon be
filled.
Yesterday his remains were Inferred in
the churcll-yard, attended by numerous
coucoursc of citizens, soliiiers and ma
sons, who, with pious benevolence, paid
the last tribute OF respect to the memory
ef their Inflated brother, whom they re.
spected and esteemed.
