on the subject of Orchard Plantation, states,
that he had for several years past directed his
attention TO the cultivation Of various sorts oil
appls S, principally sable fruit, and he had so
far succeeded as to receive from trees OF hrst
years crop 4, of second years crop 70, and oil
a third years crop Is pecks OF fruit. His me-
,hod Of planting was, after clearing 'he hnd,
and preparing it for planting, to throw out the
soil 10 the depth Of Is inches, and loosen 1t a.
bout 10 inches deeper still: the soil so thrown
ou, he suffered to remain till il became pul'er>
lied. When reduced to that state, he then pro-
ceeded to planting, raising the trees OCCASION
ally and shaking the roots, by which means
they acquired firm and equal standing he
much reprobated the common practice OF
thu lowing the soil around the roots OF the Tree
in heavy Jumps as Il was dug up, ana theh
treading it in; contending that this process
must necessarily tear the roots, and deprive
them or their bark or rind. Most people, he oo,
served, were aware that il tree were stripped
of its bark, it would die; but planters OF trees
in many instances appeared to forget that the
moe trender bark Of the roots might be destroy
ed in the same manner. BY adopting The man.
ner Of planting which he had recommended, he
had last year on some plants half peck, and
OH others peck Of fruit. The land on which
he made these experiments was considered Of
little value; but he had no doubt Of its being
productive of good crops, under this method
Of cultiv ating it.

per manufacturer at GuilforJ, fifty sheets OF

the title pages Of his book, which is already
printed, for the purpose Of having the title pa

The name ofLinnaus is familiar 10 every one;
but few are aware that the entire museum, liz
bray, and manuscripts Of this illustrious natu.
ralist are in England. The income Of the wi
dow was small; and, as more substantial be-
nef, could be drawn from The disposal than
from the possession Of such splendid incum-
brance, the whole was offered 10 The President
of the Linnsan Society, Sir ]. E. Smith, for
the sum Of 100. The offer, as may be sup
posed, was juyfully accepted, and vessel inn
medis'ely appointed to transport the precious
freight. The negotiation had been concluded
without the knowledge OF the Court, and the
King only because acquainted with the circurn-
stances few hours after the ship had sailed,
filled with Indignation and regret, he imme-
d,ateiy despatched light>armed swii, sailing
vessel in pursuit; but it was tor late. Sweden
could no longer boast Of Linnaus but by name,
and England possessed all that could endear his
memory beyond his works. Spectator.
