Garden Peds.-Thcy should be planted
about the 28th of April; in drills by pairs'
six inches apart, SO that one rew OF bushes
may serve for the pair of drills. There
should then be four feet space from centre
to centre, between the pairs OF drills. Inc
drills should be half all inch deep, and the
seed raked in lengthwise Of the drills.
They should be hoed once, then pushed
and hoed once after being bushed From
this time, merely pull out the weeds.
Garden Beans,-Should be planted about
the middle of May, half an inch deep IN rows
The rows for bush beans should be three
feet apart, with the hills in row 2and half
feet from each other. The rows for pole
beans should be four feet apart, and the
hills in row three feet from each other.
They should be hoed three times before
the Towering time; but must never be hoed
when wet with dew or rain.
Melons, Cucum6ers and Squashes.-'rhey
should be planted about the middle Of May:
cucumbers for picking may be planted the
middle of June. The ground should be as
we'll prepared as for onions. And they
must be hoed three times before it is time for
the vines to run. Afterwards pull ou. the
weeds.
In this part of the country situation
should be selected for cucumbers, which
will be shaded from IL O'Clock inthe fore
noon, until O'Clock in the afternoon; and
where they are exposed to the sun the rest
of the day.
Cab6ages.-They should be transplanted
into the beds where they are to grow about
the Goth of May: they having been sowed in
a small bed for plants abon1 month preyi-
Gus. The ground ought to be we'll mellowed
and manured, before they are transplanted
They should be hoed in the morning, when
the dew is on, once each week, until they be-
gin to head.
They must not be pulled until there is dan
ger of their freezing too fast in the ground to
be got up. lfthere happens an early snow,
it will not injure them. When they are re-
moved from the garden they should be set
out again, in trench dug in the bottom OF
cellar. If the cellar is pretty cool, it will
be the better.

TIE PANAMA MISSION.

On this subject, the following remarks OF
the eloquent Chateaubriand will be found
interesting, for which we are indebted TO the
Boston Repository -" The most important
feature inthe foreign policy OF the anglo Ame'
rcans, in the sending an ambassador to the
Congress of Panama; a resolution which. fol-
lowed by prudent choice OF the person TO
be sent, may consolidate the liberty OF a
whole hemisphere! For we cannot conceal,
that the Spanish Americans have great neeo
of the councils of u nation more experienced
in the career of independence. Descending
almost entirely from the ranks OF privlieged
casts, or from the military class, the distih-
guished men in these new states have rather
patriotic and generous sentiments thah ad-
ministrative and political ideas. Let them
study the progress OF the United otates-at
the same time wise and energetic, let them
establish promptly regular finances and res
pectable fleets, organize their constitutions
so that they may skilfully lead multitude
still ignorant and indolent; introduce with
prudence, liberty of worship, OF opinions, and
of industry-let them form their Caoildo
upon the spirit Of the Anglo-Amerlcan mu-
inequalities and provincial assemblies, (the
only real and solid foundation OF tree gov
ernment)-awake also reason, which slum-
bers among a people accustomed to state
Of pupiage, and develope peaceably the
powerful germs of activity, which certainly
are not wanting to the countrymen OF Nina,
asd of the Baron d Erles, but which too often
burst out and are destroyed by fire of devour-
ing passions. Intimate communication with
the U. States. especially with the states OF
New England, would be an excellent source
of instruction for the Spanish Americans
it is for the eldest daughter of American
liberty to be the guide OF her sisters, and to
gain over them the empire Of persuasion and
friend ship-let her show herself frank, and
disnterested. great, and generous. The
noble post of being at the head of new
world, is certainly well worth the sacrifice
of few dollars in duties, and few bales
of cotton"

Singular circnarstance.-The Railway. IN.
j. Advocate of yesterday, says:-"During
the thunder shower on Monday evening"
the 2oth inst. the lighting struck the house
of Christopher Stewart, in Melncube: and
followed the chimny into the room occuned
by the family. A boy abut Ia years of aye.
sitting by the stove, had his shoes and stock,
ings torn, completely off by it, and what is
most extraordinary, neither the boy nor any
person in the room received any injury. The
damage done to the house was rriling."

Mr.. I6crson.-We copy below an ex-

to the contemplated lottery for his relief
The scheme of the lottery is advancing,

country, no market exists for that form of
property.-A long succession of unfruitful
years, long continued low prices, heavy tariffs

drawing OIL its bidders to people the western
country. Under such circumstances, agri-
cultural property had become no resource
tor the payment of debts.--To obtain fair
market was all / wanted, and this the only
means of obtaining it. The idea was, per-
haps, more familiar to me than to younger
people because so commonly practiced be-
fore the revolution. 1t had no connection
with morality, although it had with expedi-
