HISTORY OF THE FIRST PROPAGATION OF
CHRISTIANITY IN BRITAIN.
Christianity was first published in Brit
ain in the age of the Apostles. Gdas, IN
old British historian. mentions, that The Brit
aims received the Gospel when it was first
promu gate TO the world.
Origin, who lived in the age next the
Apostles. relates, that Britain had then re.
ceivcd the Christian faith.--Tcrulian. in
his Tract against the Jews, no'icvs the con-
version Of the Britains TO Christianity.
TO these may be added the authority Of
St. Athanasius, who, cnumcrating the na.
tions from which the members Of the Sar-
dican Councilwas composed, says, There
were three hundred ofthat body who gave
testimony in favor Of his innocence, who as
sembled from several provinces of the en-
pire, viz. from Egypt, Lbya, Pcntapolis,
&c, from Spain, Gaul and Brtain.'
In the second council Of Aries it is said,
that Rcstitutus, bishop Of London, came TO
that council. and subscribed its canons. In
the ecclesiastical history Of Nicephorus Ca.
listus, there is letter from Alhanasius TO
Jovan the emperor, in which he informed
his imperial majesty, "That the faith (thc
Catholic in contra-distincto to the Arian)
was the old belief of the Christians, and that
the fathers who met at the council of Nice
were unanimous in it. That all the church.
es Of Spain, Britain, Gaul, and Germany,
were still Of the same persuasion; as is evil
dent from several authentic letters written
from thence"
From these testimonies it appears, that
Christianity was embraced in Britain in the
first ages of the church, a considerable time
before Augustin the monk was sent to that
island to preach the Gospel, by Gregory
the Great.
We snail only add here, that many learn.
ed arguments have been urged to prove
that St. Paul, rather than S.. Peter or any
other Apostle, first published Christianity
in Britain.

cry of the perpetrators Of such unparalleled
crimes.
1t soon came out, that Wilson, with an
organized party Of for;y-fve men, was the
cause of such waste of blood and treasure;
that he hada station at Hurricane Island,
to arrest every boat that passed by the mouth
of the cavern, and that he had agents at
Natchez and New Orleans, of presumed
responsibility, who converted his assign
ments into cash, though they knew the goods
to be stolen, or obtained by the commission
! ofmurder.
The publicity of Wilson's transactions.
soon broke up his party; some dispersed,
others were taken prisoners, and he himself
was killed by one of his associates, who was
tempted by the reward offered for the head
Of the gang.
This cavern measures about IL rods in
length, ,and 5 in width the entrance presents
a width of feet at its base, and 25 high.
The interior walls are smooth rocks. The
flooris very remarkable, being level through
the whole length of the centre, the sides RI
sing in stony grades, in the manner ofseats
in the pit of theatre. On diligent scru-
tiny of the wall, it is plainly discerned, that
the ancient inhabitants, at very remote Pc
riod, had made use OF this cave as house
of deiberation and council. The walls bear
many hieroglyplncs, well executed, and
some ofthem represent animals which have
no resemblance to any now known TO nat
ural history.

GREAT PRODUCT AND USE OF RUTa BAsG

GREAT. PRODUCT AND USE OF RUTa BAGG.
Mr.. r. Gordon in communication pub
lished in the Farmer and Mechanic, states
that he last year raised from an acre of
ground planted in ruta-baga, 1910 bushels
of that fine root; that he expended on it 80
days labour. But this is not the most pleas
ing part of Mr.. Gorjoa's experiment in the
culture and use of this nutritious product Of
the earth. He tried the experiment offeeding
two yoke of working oxen. To the one
yoke he allowed two lsushels of ruta. .baga
IN the same time that the other yoke con-
sumed a bushel of corn; and he Is entirely
satisfied that two bushels of ruta.baga is
better than half that quantity Of corn for
working oxen or o:her neat stock. This
experiment of Mr.. Gordon's corresponds
with most of those which have been made
by other feeders in Europe, and America.
A prejudice exists against the culture of
the ru'a.baga in this country with many
farmers; but why it should erist we know
not, unless it be,-lst. because the method
Of cultivation is different from the mode pur-
sued generally with the other varieties
ofthe turnip-2dly, because among the first
plans suggested, was that of the transplan.
tation by dibbting, a plan of culture too
mons,rous for the advocates of the good old
ways of their grand.fathers to even think
of contemplating, much less acting upon.
The truth is there is no mystery about the
culture Of the root. 1t may be successfully
raised in the same manner Of other turnips;
but we believe the best way to cultivate eth.
er, is by drilling, whether regard be had to
product or the saving of labor and manure.
Mr.. Gordon raised 1910 bushels from an
acre, and for the purpose of feeding work.
ing oxen or other neat cattle, proved that
two bushels of this root is better than one Of
corn now let us for argument sake pre-.
sumo, it is as good, and that instead of 1910
bushels being produced on an acre, 500
bushels may, with proper manuring and
culture, be raised thereon. That this guam.
tity may be raised we do not 10 the least
doubt, and thus believing, we will not s:opto
make the calculation here, as to SAVING, but
shall leave that to the farmer to do at his
! leisure for himself. But we would respect
fully remark, that, if the ruta-baga will an.
swcr for the feed of working oxen, we can
see no possible reason why it will not an.
swer equally well for working horses also>
In England many distinguished farmers
do feed it to them, with the addition OF Ut,
tie bran of some sort, and salt sprinkled
over the roots cut into pieces sufficiently
small 10 be catable by the animals. Al
first it is said some horses will reject such
feed but after few trials become not only
used TO, but passonately fond of it. The
culture of this root does not require more
labor than that of corn, and iften or twenty
times the quantity can be grown on the
same space of ground, we would ask those
who are in the habit Of sustaining their cat
tie through the winter on corn, to stop fora
few minutes, and calculate how much they
would save by substituting the ruta-baga
