From the .Neto England Farmer.
MOVING.

They who have not been in their youth
accustomed to do this work, are seldom
found to be able to do it with ease or expe-
dition. But when the art is once learnt, 1t
will not be lost.
AS this is one of the most laborous parts
of the husbandman's calling. and the more
fatiguing as it must be performed IN the
hottest season of the year, every precautlon
ought to be used which tends to tighten the
labor. To this it will conduce not a little,
for the mower to rise very early, and be at
his work before the rising of the sun. He
may easily perform half the usual days
work before nine in the morning. His
work will not only be made easier by the
GOODNESS of the morning air, but also by the
dew on the grass, which is cut the more
easily for being wet. By this means he
NAV Law lie still and rest himself during all
the hottest of the day, while others who
begun late are sweating themselves eXces-
sivelv; and hurting their health, probably,
by taking down large draugh ofcold drink
to Stake their raging thirst. The other
half of this work may be performed after
three or four o'clock and at night he will
find himself free from fatigue.
If the mower would husband his strength
to advantage, he should take care to have
his scythe, and all the apparatus for moving,
adapted to fa sAhEs 5 81 YM6c 4pRR e
IF the surface be level and free from obsta-
cles, tho scythe may be long and almost
straight; and he will perform his work with
less labor and greater expedition. But if
the surface be uneven, cradley, or chequer-
ed with stones, or stumps of trees, his
scythe must be short and crooked. Other
wise he will be obliged to leave much of
the grass uncut, or use more labor in cut
ting it. A long and straight scythe will on
ly cut off the tops of the grass in hollows.
A mower should not have snead that is
too slender, for this will keep his scytbe in
a continual tremor, and do much to hinder
its cutting. He must see that it keeps per
fectly fast on the snead; for the feast de-
gree of looseness win oblige him to use the
more violence at every stroke. Many wor-
ny themselves needlessly by not attending
to this circumstance.
Moving with a company ought to be
avoided by those who are not very strong,
or who are little used to the business, or
who have not their tools in the best order.
Young lads who are ambitious to be thought
good mowers, often find themselves much
hurt by moving in company.
Mowers should not follow too closely af-
ter each other; for this has been the occas-
ion of fatal wounds. And when the dan
gerous tool is carried from place to place,
it should he bound up with a rope of grass,
or otherwise equally secured.

NEW ORLEANS, June To
COMMODORE PORTER. Captain Miner, from
Vera Cruz, reports that an attempt has been
made to assassinate Com Porter. He had been
ordered to the CITY of Mexico, and on his way
thither, in company with gentleman from
New York and attended by two servants, when
about forty leagues from Vera Cruz, he was at
tackled by party of nine horsemen two of
whom had advanced to within short distance
of him, when he turned and discovered their
intentloEs---he instantly wheeled and shot one
of them, who turned out to be the leader, drew
his sword and struck off the hand of the other
who had engaged him. The rest, seeiug their
leader fall, fled. The chief of the band, it is
said, is the very man from whom the Commo-
dore procured horses for his journey.

AMONG the presents which Gen. Jackson has
received, are some half dozen hickory canes,
from various parts of the country Whether
the donors suppose his cabinet is too slender an
affair fer him to lean upon, or that they deserve
a Gaming for leading him into SO many errors,
or whether these canes are to be worn out
upon the backs of the clerks whose books shall
be found in arrears when the General makes
his daily personal inspections, we can only
lay the canes over the heads of the office hunt
ers who still infest the palace. 1t would be-
good exercise for him-and by the time no had
splinteted dozen or two of tough hickories
upon them, they would become scarce. Such
proceeding would be more genuine reform
than any thing he has done yet.

PRovIDENTIAL ESCAPE. On Saturday
week, as Mr.. Samuel Shuts of Hector, IN
" with his wife and child, were riding
along on the turnpike near Thomas's tav4
ern, she suddenly screamed out, "there's
a tree falling on u.s." and leaped from the
wagon with her babe, and sustained no in
jury. Her husband not observing the tree,
but following the example of his wife,
sprang forwards, when an oak tree of about
three feet in diameter fell obliquely across
the road, and reaching from fence to fence,
struck between the horse and one of the
front wheels, on to the top of the other,
which left its hub entirely spokeless, and
stripping the harness off the horse, broke
every thing in its way. Mr., S. was stunned
by the fall of the tree, and on recovering,
found himself by the side of the horse with
the lines in his hands, his shoulder slightly
hurt, but he knew not how.

From HAYTI. Benjamin Lundy, Editor
of the Genius of Universal Emancipation,
| and the Africans friend, has Just arrived
from his second visit to Hayti, having pro-
ceeded to that Island in part to ascertain
the condition of the colored emigrants who
were removed from the United States three
or four years since, at the expense of the
Eaytlen government, and partly to take
out II other emlgrants who had been lber-
ated by Joseph Leonard Smith, ESQ.,. of
! Maryland. The whole number removed
at the expense of the Haytien government,
was about 6O00. OF these, some have be-
come discontinued and returned and some
VINO remain are dissatisfied with the svs-
TEN of working on shares, while others are
doing remarkably well, and could not easily
be persuaded to exchange their condition
for residence in the United States. Mr..
Lundy informs US that he procured such
situations for the new emigrants as were
abundantly satisfactory, and there is a pros
peci OF the adoption of plan in regard to
the rest, which will remove every SYMPTOM
of discomfort. The whole number of color
ed persons now on the Island, who have
emigrated from the United States within
the past or 9 years, Mr.. l.. estimates at
5000: some of whom are among the most
influential and respectable inhabitants.
The political state of the country was
perfectly tranquil; and the people were
much encouraged with the expectation that
the time for the payment of the money due
to France as indemnity to the old colonists,
would be extended to 25 years, t0ithola in
tereSt. This was what the Haytien govern
ment had asked; and the French Envoys,
on their part, consented to the arrange
ment: but the question of ratification still
rested with the Court of France and the
people were very anxious to learn the result
