Hoeing 1mnips. This crop should, in
almost all cases, be sown in drills. The
ease with which they are hoed, and thin

the greater certainty Of crop, renders
this method of sowing decidedly preiera'
BILE. Even when sowed broadcast, they
should in most cases receive one or more
hoeings. A small hoe Of three or four
inches in length, or one tapcring nearly
to point, if faithfully used, will add very
much to the quantity OF the crop. The
earth should not be hcnped up.

"The negroes on several estates have

to-day the government has determined to
proceed to extremes. They have five
men of war vessels in the harbor, who
have landed all their marines, ready for
action.
"The negroes, here, at Nevis, nre a.

sure of that we shall not require blood
shed. A little naggellation will do with

BREAcu OF MARRIAGE PRoMIsE. A :
action was lately brought bya lady a
gainst a gentleman at Litchfeld, for no
having fulfilled his engagement towards
her. The gentleman pleaded in extenu-
alton the feeble health Of the lady, who
for two years had been very III, and the
physicians had stated that her recovery
was uncertain. The gentleman then
ceased to pay his addresses, and was ulti-
motely married TO another. The charge
of the Judge was dellverd on Friday, and
on Saturday verdict for the defendent
as returned.
Alta Convention Of the Antimasons of
the county of Washington, N. Y. held in
Argyle. on the 2Ist day of August, tho
following circular, signed by some of the
most influential Free Mason Of the coun-
ty was read to the unanimous appreciation
Of the meeting.
Crcular-Freemasonry has been and
in some degree still unhappily continues
to be, the all-exciting and disturbing sub
iect of the community. Our connexion
with the Institution is charged as the
cause of preventing perfect harmony and
concert Of action among those in this
country who entertain the same opinions
respecting the measures Of government
and the grand questions of national I'M
portance now before the people.
The political aspect Of the times, no
less than the interest of social peace, wo
believe requires OF every man who loves
his country to exempliiy his devotedness
to the general good by a surrender not
only of individual interest, but if needful
by manly sacrifice of personal feelings
and long cherished partialities.
In order then to promote social peace
and to remove all cause of offence or ali
enation out of the way of our friends : and
in order to deprive our opponents Of a
weapon which is used against the Wing
cause with untiring and mischioyous ac-
tivitv, we do publicly declare our total a.
bandonment Of Freemasonry forever.
