FARM WORK FOR OCTOBER.


CeHarS.--AS soon us your potatoe crop is
in, the cellar should be carefully secured,
and protected as thoroughly as may be,
from the frost. 1t is bad policy to defer
this business till the snow falls, as is the
practice with some. In banking, choose
light materials, such as chip.dung, straw,
rotten wood, and such like substances, in
stead OF those which are solid and compact
They will not only be- much more efficient
in promoting the object of the undertaking,
but valuable rs materials for the compost
heap, in the spring. All treading SHOULD be
avoided: solid substances-or those in
which there are comparatively few intcrsti-
( ces or pores, being good conductors, and
consequently more liable 10 freeze, than
those which are light or more open and per-
mcable to the air. This fact is illustrated
by the soils freezing much harder in the
road, and to a much greater depth, than in
fields where it is less compressed or troddcn
by the feet
GardenS.-As soon as the vegetables have
been removed, the surface Of the garden
should be thoroughly aud carefully scrapcd,
and the refuse soil wccts and hauim, rCmov.
ed to the yards and stycs. In this way the
incumhrance of prOfllse, yet worthless
vegetation will be avoided, and the soil rem.
dered more clearly from this absence.
Shrubs and plants should be attended to );
those of fragile nature, and, indeed, all
| such as arc incapable Of enduring the rgors
| of winter, in an exposed situation, should be
removed to the cellar, forthwith.
Sheep-Sce that all your sheep are now
provided with comfortable quarters, and fur
nishcd regularly with water, food, and salt.

| a TOUCHING lNClDENT.-Among the items Of the
late foreign Intelligence, our readers may remember
the mention OF the death Of Mr.. Aymer. circus
crlpt gives the following melancholy account Of the
effect OF the news upon his widow, who is u resident
OF that town: -
"Mr. Aymer formerly resided in this village, and
left here. engaged in his profession, about year
since. lie has here, residing with her mother,
beautiful and lovely wife of tw enty to whom intel.
gcnce OF his awful end was communicated by means
OF the above extract on Friday last She read il,
shed tear over 1t, and burst into the wild laugh Of
the maniac. 1t was one Of the most heart-rending
scenes the eye ever heheld, to look upon the mental
ruins OF this beautiful female to encounter that wld
and trant eve, and to listen to the wild and unmen
ing conversation OF one whose reason has stranded.
"On the Sabbath she arrayed herself in her bridal
dress. and wandered over The fields, pluckng flowers
and decking herself with fantastic ornamc piercing
the ear aud the heart with her frantic calls for her
lover. Mrs. Aymer buried her only child in New
York the past summer, AMI she is now verify alone
on the 81 ak waste Of life without star to guide her
irail and shattered bark, and without bcacon-ligh
TO warn her OF qucksands and shoals"
