On Friday las, in the 22st year of his age, of
Typhus Fever, MR. RICHARD B. s1IDHAM,
son of the late Mr.. Isaac Stdham, dec. of Chris
tiana Neck, N. Castle Co In recording the death
of this amiabe young man, we lament that one
possessing his virtues, should be taken away so
soon He was kind and dutful son, an afec.
tonate brother, and generous friend. His con-
duct on all occasions was marked with dignity
and cantour, which would have done credit to
riper years-Affsbe and pleasing in his manners,
he tiffise,l gaety and cheerfulness through the
assemblies of his youthful companions, who must
now, when they NEE. together, feel that there
is one absent who will never again be with them.
DIED, in Mexico, on the 2sth of March,
Mr.. JAMES CRAWFORD, Merchant. of
Philadelphia. The arrival from Alvarado
this day, brought the distressing intelli-
renee of the murder of Mr.. James Craw-
ford of this city, and in his death we are
called upon to lament the loss Of a worthy
fellow citizen. The details of this melan-
choly event in the hurried account which
has been received, are as follow:
About five months since Mr.. Crawford
and Mr.. Andrews, were despatched by the
United States Bank, to Mexico, for the
purpose of efiecting some important nego-
Citations. On their return from the city
of Mexico to Alvarado, las considerable
danger was apprehended from an attack
by robbers. on the supPosition of their hav-
ing large amount in specie.) they were
furnished with a strong escort of s5 men,
we'll armed. under the direction Of Capt.
Murray of the British Navy. On arriving
at Peubla, they were deprived of this es-
cort by the public authority, and an infe-
rior guard, Of 10 worthless men, badly
armed. was substituted. A short distance
from Peuba, most of the guard deserted
them, and they were soon after attacked
by set of Banditti of twenty-five, in am
buscade.-Mr. Crawford, who was an ex-
cellent horseman, being mounted, by his
customary gallant port and mein attracted
the first attention Of the robbers. he re-
ceived the first shot, the balls passing thro'
his lungs. four Of the party were wound
ed, and courier who had joined them at
the moment with dispatches for Captain
Murray, killed. Capt Murray and Mr..
Andrews appear to have escaped unhurt.
The Banditti made prisoners of the party.

During this private conversation. the

tened it round the dog's neck, and was
holding him with difficulty-when his
friend aIded-IfI I do not deceive myself,

Returning soon after he arrested the in

prison. On searching him they discovered
the merchants watch, and other jewels of
which lie had deprived the unhappy man
Itwas proved besides that on the day Of
the murder, the accused had been seen by

circumstances, condemned the accused

city. The facts he states are historically
true, but whether the circumstances in re-
lation to his own life, are correct or not,
we are not sufficiently acquainted with
them to say. His features are said to be
very much those of the Bourbon family,
his age corresponds with what the Dau.
phn's would have been. and several incl
dents which he mentions of his early life,
serve to render his tale at least plausible.
He states, we understand, that he was car
ried off from the tower of the temple in
great secrecy, brought up among the Alps,
and afterwards sent to the Island of Cuba,
where he learned the trade of a carpenter,
and where he has been till he came to this
country. He pretends to show certain
marks on his head, which he says his sister,
the Duchess of Angouleme, will at once
recogni.e, and to this lady he has written
through gentleman of Washington, stat
ing the circumstance and events of his
life. After this brief statement. we leave
it to our readers to determine. whether

Extract. from Judge Buel's remarks on the best
mode of cultivation to be pursued by the Far
mer
TuRNIps.-These constitute an excellent pre-
paratory crop for barley, they leave the ground
clean and mellow But how is the crop 10 be
consumed' If near popuous town they will
find ready sale. If not they may be fed on the
ground during all October, November and De
cember, to sheep and cattle. Lastly they may be
buried in pits, like the Swedish urnip and fed
in the spring, when stock are much in want of
succuent food. All | raise are taken to market
from the field. The best crops which have ever
seen were taken upon wheat and rye stubbles.-
Sandy loans are the best for turnip soils
BARLEY grows best on sand looms and on
those is more productive and profitable than oats
or rye una the demand for it is likely to in
crease With the multiplication Of our breweries.
1t is recommended to roll the crop when three or
four inches high. The operation induces the
plants to throw up additional shoots, and facili-
tates the growth of the young erase.
CLOVER Upon this head have nothing to say,
except to reiterate your remmendation from An
derson, that when made into hay, clover should
not be spread tiom the swa,h, and but slightly
from the cock 1t is worth so per cent more,
when dried in swa,h and small cocks, than when
spread to an intense sun. If intended to stand
more than one year, sow on hard, talloc or tim
othy grass seed with clover. prefer the two
former on account Of their early maturity for the
