CuLruRE on SauAsHEs AND MELoNs.


Mr. EditOr,-Squashes, melons, and all 9TH
or vines require good old manure; nothing
suits them better than vault manure, kept one
year after it is taken out hogs manure is ex-
cellent There should be, for squashes, FIVE or
six shovolfuls to each hill, distance about six
feet as the vines expand it will be very use
tul to check their growth for the benefit OF the
fruit. 1t is generally placed on the side shoots,
and only one squash should be permitted to
grow on one side shoot, and as soon as the bios
somng is over, the shoot should be stopped by
pinching off the head of it. The main vines
should also be stopped after they have a suf-
fcient number of side shoots and squashes.
This 'kind Of pruning will have tendency to
improve the size and the quality of the fruit it
IS advisable TO take off late blossoms and small
equashes which have no chance of coming to
maturity before the white frosts take place, and
which would inlure the earlier and better fruit,
by dePriving it of some of the nourishment.
When the latter part Of the season comes on,
and the squashes have nearly completed their
growth, it is advisable TO break off the leaves
wherever they shade the fruit, in order that it
should have the uninterrupted benefit of the
sum- and to cut off freely the struggling vines,
so that none should be left but those which
bear fruit this will hasten their maturity and
perfection. The same system of pruning IS
still more needful for musk melons it will
improve the taYnr ana the size OF the lTulI, anu
is, l believe, universally practiced in the old
countries. The French always pinch off the
small top of the heart, at the earliest period,
which they call chatrer, and which encourages
the growth of the slender side shoots, which
are the fruit bearers. The ripening of melons
is much fastened by placing under them, when
about the size of an egg, large pieces of slate
stone, or shingle; the melons are also kept
from ground worms by this process. Although
our soil and climate are more powerful and
forcing, and might dispense in some measure
with these refnements of the gardeners art,
yet they will repay we'll for the little time and
attention required, and have always found it
my pleasure, and my advantage, to attend to ii
regularly. J. NJ, G.

News FROM PoMpEI. Our last accounts
from Rome the 18th of March, inform ms
that his majesty the king of Bavaria. had
returned to that city. On the 9th of Feb.

neum and Pompeii, to view the new discov-
cries. AS the frescoes are now suffered to
remain upon the walls, and several pieces
Of furniture are left in the places where
they served the former owners, one an
pears to be in the midst of the ancients. A
bath, which has been lately excavated was
particularly remarkable: the decorations Of
the walls, which are very fine, are in per-
feet preservation; and the bronze seats re-
main in the places where they were used
by the inhabitants of Pompeii one thousand
eight hundred years ago. In honor of his
majesty, the workmen were directed 70

lNFoRMERs. A short time ago, a per-
son who travels in Derbyshire, (Eng.) to
sell calico, &C., was accosted by two men,
a few miles from Derby, who became pur-
chasers, and having paid their money, ask.
ed the traveller if he had a license, and re-
celvlng an evasive answer, they laid an in
formation against him as an unlicensed
hawker. The hawker, when brought be-
tore the magistrate, produced his license,
and complained of the interruption he had
experienced, and his loss of time. 1t was
agreed that the parties should paw the
hawker pound. The latter protested an
unwlllngness to take the pound, and pro-
posed adjourning to take some refreshment
at the public house, when he would pay the
shot out of the pound, and return them the
difference. After paying five shillings for
what had been drank, he returned fifteen
TO the informers. They were all now hale
fellows, we'll met, and the hawker proposed
to buy again the calico they had purchased
OF him if they would sell for trihe less
tnan they gave. The bargain was imme-
diately struck, the calico delivered and the
money paid, when the hawker, in his turn,
asked them for their license, and not being
able to produce one, he had them taken to
the same magistrate, before whom thew had
dragged him, when each of the fellows was
fined ten pounds.

they come to glass-shop-for they found
IN one spot above 500 glass vessels of the
most various descriptions. Near the spot
were several bronze vessels and many glass
beads, probably part of necklace. The
King OF Naples made present to the king
OF Bavaria of all that was found on this &C.
caslon. The newly discovered paintings
are tar superior to those previously found,
and prove that painting among the ancients
was not below the other arts. The fresco
paintings on the walls of very pretty
mouse, representing Ganymede carried off
by the eagle, and Baechantes, are not un-
worthy of Julio Romano or Giovanni d
Udlne. Others, with architecture, entirely
refute the notion which some persons enter
tain, that the ancients were ignorant of
perspective for the perspective drawing
OF the buildings is perfect. In a house at
Herculaneum, which has been Just opened,
very large stock of all kinds of fruit was
discovered, which are indeed carbonised,
but IN other respects we'll preserved and
very interesting. His majesty has received
a complete collection of the several kinds.

TEETH TRANsPLANTED. A young man in
.Congleton having suffered much from carl
Gus tooth, and being unwilling to loose it, de-
termined, in case of its extraction becoming ul-
timately necessary, to have another substitut
ed in its stead. His brother, who had super
numerary one, voluntarily offered to accommo
date him with it, if he would submit to the re-
moval of the carious one Having consented
to this, both parties waited upon medical gen.
tIeman, who accordingly extracted the cartons
tooth, and transferred the sound tooth of his
brother to its place, which latter operation was
performed with ompara.ively little pain The
transplanted tooth has since become firmly fix.
ed in the new socket, and answers every pur.
pose of articulation and mastication, equally
well with the natural one. For the first few
weeks it was tied to the adjoining tooth by.
means ofsilk, until the gums had sufficiently
adhered to it-Chester [Eng] Courant

HARD TIMES. Money is unusually scarce.
The cause of this scarcity is often inquired in
TO; and the answer generally given is, that
large quantity of specie has been shipped from
New York to England. If our own specie has
been shipped to England, it was because we
owed the English. If we owed the English, it
was because we purchased of them more than
we had sold to them And if we do not re-
celve specie from other parts of the world as
fast as we want it to send to England, it is be-
cause our exports are too little, and our i'm
ports too great If our exports are too little, it
is because we are not Industrious enough in
rearing and fabricating articles to export If
we are not industrious enough, we are too idle,
too fond of amusements, too Incorporate, too
much addicted to gambling, too immoral
Again; If we import too much, it is because
we live too expensiv.ly-wear too many fine
clothes--make too many costly entertainments
drink too much brandy, champaign, and Ma
