After the sap begins to circulate, it is improper to prune the vines, unless such as are sprouting too luxuriantiy, and which require to be weakened; those in proper condition 1t weakeRs too much; they seem exhausted and yield only fruit" However, in despite of the directions before us, we have for these six years, pruned large collection, both of foreign and native vines, or cutting for the qualification of friends, in every week, from the lali of the leaf to the middle of March, without having from very close attention, even observed any injury done and therefore, feel satisfied, that it can be performed safely, at any time after the complete fall of the leaf, until immediately previous to the clreu- lation of the sap, which effect, sooner or later takes place, according to climate, and disposition of the vines. This process, we discover, usually hap pens in this state, from the beginning to the middle of March, yet we are aware that certain species of the vine, are more forward and begin vegetation earlier from disposition and situation than others; but we will be in time, If pruning be done in Maryland and the other southern states, the ldst aree6 s7s February or the first in March; but by no means should it be delayed longer than the middle of March. It is the manner of pruning that deserves our SC rious and attentive consideration; for on its correctness, doubtless, very much of our future success depends; the prin- ciples which should govern us Tn its per formance are amply and satisfactorily detailed in the works of Thiebaut de Berneaud, Adlum, Prince, and Loubat.

It might be supposed that these ancient relics of humanity would make an unpleasant fire, but this, the Lecturer said, was not the case. The balsaTns and spices which had been used in embalming them, oil the contrary, gave out q fragrant odour, and he should not wonder, he said, if some ingenious inventor were to introduce mummy-dust into use, as a most delightful pastite.- In the stomacbs of the mummies large masses of hituminous matter are found, and when the Arabs have collected any quantity of these, they are sent to Cairo and sold. T'llle use to which they are put is singular; they are purchased by the apothecaries, and beat into powder, which is afterwards administered as a sovereignantidote to ali diseases.
