PEhSE y BEANS.

Nnviciatts in gardening should hear in
mind the great difference in vegetables in re-
gard to their endurance Of frOs,s. Peas nav
be planted at any time in April. and they
seem not much effected by a hard frost--to
beans of all kinds a slight frost is fatal
we seldom reap any advantage by sowing
beans before the first of May. The poles
for beans and peas may be cut before the
frost is out of the ground. They are better
without leaves than with them.--GBoston

be punished. There is now no need to deal
in round assertion; tic proof of guilt, if there
be any is at hand. md We hope that the

been wantonIy, slanIered, and that all their
