New Mode of Planting Potatoes.

A friend of the Editor has been so
good as to furnish us in manuscript with
the following. We have no experience
or personal knowledge of the process
recommended, but wish il might be tried,
and its results made public for the ben
eft of the community.
".an easy and cheap method for raising
Potatoes. -On an even and smooth piece
of moving or pasture land, make deep
single burrows with plough at three
feet distance. Fill these burrows with
rye (or any other) straw, and drop your
potatoes 6 or inches apart on the straw
Then, with hoe, cover the potatoes
by turning down the ploughed burrows
upon them. They require no more atten-
ton tili&Aey are grown. No hoeing will
be necessary.-The same land may be
improved as a pasture for sheep, as
those animals will not eat nor material
ly injure the tops of potatoes.
The writer is Informed that this meth
cd is practsed with success in the towns
Of Winchester and Swanzy in N. Hanp-
shire.
AsPARAgus.-There isnot vegetable
sold in our markets at so high price
as Asparagus, and there is not any SO
easily produced,.if the proper mode OF
cultivation is adopted.-The former
method Of rounding up the beds is en-
tireIy unnecessary, and is rather dis
advantage than otherwise. The follow
ing is believed to be the best mode OF
raising this excellent and ever welcome
vegetable. Select flat, rich, loamy
soil, plant the roots six inches asunder
in lines, land in beds Of such dimentions as
may be judged most convenient. and in
as warm situation as your grounds af-
ford.--Asparagus is Gas Botanists and
Hortculturalists say) a maraGne plant,
and the most suitable copgenial dress
ing is ocean water OF brine much dilur-
ed. This has further excellent ope-
ration inasmuch as it destroys the weeds
which would otherwise infest the beds
The best Autumn coveriDg,is what the
farmers upon our salt rivers, call sedge
Perhaps salt hay is equally good.

To HYpoCHoNDRIAcs To be always
considering "what we should cat, and
what we should drink and wherewithal
we should be clothed" in order to avoid
the approach ofdiseases, is the most like
ly means Of prov oking its attack. A man
who is continually feeling his pulse, is
never likely TO have a good one. If be
swallow his food from the same motive as
he does lis physic, it will neither be en-
joyed nor dlgested SO we'll as if he ate in
obedience to the dictates of an uncalcuIa-
ting appetite. The hypochondriac who
is in the habit of weighing his meals, will
generally find that they lay heavy on his
stomach. If he take walk or ride, with
no other view than to pick up health, he
will seldom meet it on the road.

New NELocIPEDE.-A carriage was
lately conducted to London from Barns
table, by Frenchman, at the rate of
eight miles per hour. Hills were as
cended with comparatively little Iabour.
The principle is that ofthe truning lathe
worked by the hands and arms, and guid-
ed by the feet; a cord passes over two
wheels before the operator moves the
two hind wheels; and with third be-
fore it is guided. To make the cord
act, knots are made in it, which answer
to knobs on the surface of the wheels
above, and on the PullAys attached to
the fellies of the two hind wheels. Ii is
now exhibited in London.

SINGULAR SECRET MURDER" Mr. John
KelIo, minister cfSpot, in East Lothian,
had an extraordinary talent for preach
ing and was universally held TO be a
man of singular piety-His wife was
handsome, cheerful, tender hearted,
and in word, possessed all the quail
ties that can endear woman 10 her
husband. A pious rich widow in the
ueighbourhood tempted his avarice. She
chung to him as her spiritual guide; and
but for his little wife, he had doubts OF
obtaining her hand in marriage He
turned gradually peeVish and discon-
tented. His change of behaviour made
deep impression on his wife, for she
loved him tenderly and yet was anxious
TO conceal her treatment from the world.
Her meekness, her submission, her pa
lience tended but to increase his sullen-
ness. Upon Sunday morning, when
on her knees, offering up her deVotions,
he came softly behind her, put rope
about her neck, and hung her up 10 the
ceiling. He boiled bis gate, crept out
at window, walked demurely - church
and charmed his hearers with most
pathetic sermon. After divine service,
he invited two or three of his neighbors
to pass the evening at his house, tel
ling them his wife was indisposed, and
Of late inclined 10 melancholy, but that
she would be glad 10 see them. II sur
prised them to find the gate bolted, and
none TO answer; but much more when,
upon its being opened, they found her
in the situation mentioned. The hus-
band seemed to be struck dum--and
countefeited sorrow so much to the life,
that his guests, forgetting the dead,
we're wholly interested about the liy-
ing. His feigned tears, however, after
wards his soul was oppressed with the
weight of his guilt-Finding no relief
from agonizing remorse, and from the
image of his murdered wife constantly
haunting him, he about six weeks after
the horrid deed, went to Edinburgh,
and delivered himself up to justice. He
