The Operation of BrOmchotomy, or cutting
the throat to restore an apparently suJ-
located person.
When the opening into the trachea
or windpipe is stopped up by accident
or disease, so that air cannot pass into
the lungs, the only means of preventing
immediate suffocation, admitting that the
obstruction cannot be removed, is to
make an incision into the inferior part
of it, near the top of the sternum, or
breast bone, and by cutting out small
square bit of the cartilage, thus admit
the air; which opening will carry on
respiration, as we'll as the natural one,
and support life until the obstruction be
removed. 1t is an operation, which re-
4uireS quick and dexterious hand, and
there is one fatal dagger attending it,
when performed by an unskilful opera
tor-namely, carrying the first incision
down too far, and thus wounding the
large vein which takes the blood into
the vema cana, or great vein of the heart,
sor it lies just behind the top of the
breast bone; tots has occurred some:
times, but with whom there must have
been sad ignorance of the anatomy of
those parts. A case happened at Dub
lin, some time ago, where the Opera
ton was performed successfully by DR..
Philip Champion, the present Surgeon
General.
A waiter at Morrison's hotel, Daw-

ton, perhaps, of not expecting that val,

be more lucratively bestowed upon his

gans, swallowed most voraciously, in the
passage from the dining-room to the

Why he neglected this necessary process

FROM AN ENGLISH PAPER.

There IS Skeleton in eUsry House.
"There was at Naples lady of the
name of Corsina, born at Capovana, and
wife of noble cavalier, whose name
was Messer Ramondo del Balzo. 1t
happened after some years that heaven
was pleased to deprive this lady of her
husband, and she was lefta widow with an
only son, whose name was Carlo. This
youth possessing all the excellent quail
ties and endowments of his father, be-
came the mothers idol and only care.
She bethought herself that it would be
greatly to his advantage to send him to
Bologna, to pursue his studies, in order
that he might hereafter become a great
man. Having made up his mind to this,
she gave him tutor, provided him with
books, and every thing that would make
him comfortable and sent him away
with tender mothers blessing. There
for several years, she maintained him
with every comfort he could wish. The
youth having every advantage imprOy-
ed greatly, and became an excellent
scholar, and by his gentleman-like man
ners, correct conduct, and great talents,
had gained the affection of all his fellow
collegiaps. Ithappened that having be-

TURNIPS.
PITTsFIELn. mass. Ian. POLE

Some months ago, was induced to
write you communication On the sub
Ject Of turnips, in consequence Of an ar
ticle of one ofyour correspondents, tend
ing to discourage the cultivation of
them-and as then promised to give
you the result of this years crop, "a
vail myself of little leisure. to re-
deem my pledge.
According TO the weather, have fer
six years practiced sowing turnips, from
the 18th to the 25th June. But this
year, a severe drought through the
whole of June, and until the fore part
of July, obliged me to delay it until the
1oth-(too late by IS days, at least, to
warrant the hope of crop of ruta bago.)
The land (graveD had been previously
manured, at the rate of 90 OK cart loads
to the acre. Immediately after sowing
and rolling, gave the drills a top dress
ing of 12 bushels Of Stacked ashes per
acre. They were ploughed, and boed
out twice. On the 10Th of November,
began to harvest them-and had at
least $50 bushels 10 the acre, estimat-
ing an OK cart at 80 bushels.
The expense of cultivation, and bar
vestiDg, does not exceed that of corn
of which the average crops of the coun-
try may be stated at 25 bushels. The
corn | raised this year, was MANFRED
in the same manner as the turnips, and
we had about so bushels TO the acre.
In my estimation, six bushels ruta baga,
are equal to bushel Of corn for any
kind of live stock.
1t is objected by some, that it is a
troublesome crop TO secure through
our long, and severe winters lit is not
more SO, however, than potatoes, and
the value of them for stock, especially
sheep, at the close Of winter, and un-
til grass will afford good bite, (Which
is not generally until the 10th of May)
can only be duly appreciated by expe-
rlence.
1t is doubtful in my mind, if the cult
walton ofturuips will answer to any ex-
tent, SO far south as Maryland; but for
the eastern and western states, it must,
methinks, as we progress in agricultur-
al improvements, become an important
item in the rotation system Of every
good farmer, who combines arabic and
grass farming.
have long been of opinion, that we
might cultivate rape to advantage, 10
this section of our state, Cat least for
sheep being ignorant of the best mode
OF cultivating it, its proper soil, and the
manner of curing and securing it, if rails
ed for the seed. | beg leave to ask of
you TO appropriate place in your val
liable paper, 10 an article on the sub
ject, in belief that it would be interest
ing to this vicinity AGRlCOLA.

AMHERST COLLEGE.

The Legislature Of Massachusetts has
not as yet granted charter to this In
stitution, owing to the difference of
opinion which has prevailed respecting
the necessity of another College in the
State. The Trustees say, in their late
appeal to the public, that Sc the inter
est and honor of the State demand it.n
This may at least be doubted. But for
ourselves we have no doubt, that, on
other grounds stated by the Trustees,
the institution justly claims the privi-
leges OF a charter. II is enough, in our
opinion, that in every thing but in
law, and in name, there is already

sides, where so many exeriions have
been made by individuals, and where
so much has already been accomplish
ed without Legislative countenauce, il
is no more than just reward of enter
prise to render such nominal aids, as
other institutions enjoy, which have
not done more, if as much, at the same
stage of their existence, TO deserve
them. Under such circumstances we

There can be no doubt but such an es-

also an article of extensive expectation.
