From q late London paper it appears,
thai a new and easy method has lately been
discovered in England, of preventing the

to SOW about lbs. oil radish seed on every

plauts will in such case leave the turnip
plants uumolested.
One of the most effectuai methods Of
preventing the ascent Of insects on fruit
trees, in the spring, is 10 draw streak Of
tar round the body Of the tree; bat the
surface of this soon becomes incrusted by
the warmth Of the atmosphere, aud then
the insects are enabled to pass this bar.

OF oil with the tar, which will prevent the
hardening Of the exterior for considera.

the oil are dissipated, let the exterior be

Conveyance Of Sound The following
curious and highly important fact connect
ed. with the physiology of the ear, has
lately been published by MIR. Swan, Of
Lincoln. When the ears are stopped,
and a watch is brought 10 contact with
any part OF the head, face, teeth, or neck |;
or. if stick, water, &c, be interposed be-
tween any Of these parts and the WATCH
the sound will be heard as well as when
the ears are open.
II is extremely probable that this itl-l
geuious suggestion, if attended to by the
faculty, aud aided by proper instruments
to increase the effect ofsound, would be
found Of considerable importance to those
suffering under temporary deafness; but
Il must be observed, that where the dis
ease is 10 the nerve, no good can be de-
rived from it.
The heroism which results from good
morals interests but few; the heroism
that is most destructive, is the admiration
Of the multitude.

"On Thursday week, as Agnes Brown
and her husband, j. Siton, a respectable
joiner in the parish of Tynron, were re-
turning from Moifat, where they had been
on a visit to one of their children, they
were overtaken by violent storm OF
snow when about mile beyond the shep-
herds house at Stidridge. This fall was
soon accompanied by rapid and supply
ing drift, aud as they were now in the
middle of a wide and very lonely moor,
Mr.. Siton became apprehensive OF the
consequences, and seriously proposed that
they should turn back. His companion,
however, impatient to reach home, aud
believing that the storm would soon be
