.Sufocation at ihe bottom Of Well] has seldom fallen to our lot to record n| melancholy accident than that which oceu| at the Canadiere yesterday, whereby fellow creatures, all in the vigor of heallhI strength, were hurried into eternity. II the information we have obtained, it apd that laborer of the name of Delair, wht| sided in St. Johns Suburbs, was empId by Captain Julien, R. N., to clean out deepen a well that was on his premises. had been engaged in this employpenI some days, going down and returning OfI the well, without experiencing any incdI nlence, till the afternoon of yesterday, Vh| as he was descending, he was obserd| loose hold of the rope and fall to the b0p1 Mr. Julien's youngest son observing hlm1 to fall, immediately gave the alarm, and VI out moments delay or consideration, scended, and met with the same fate. alarm was then given to the neighboa1 that two men were lying at the bottom o well; and amongst those that soon arrl55sl the spot, II. N. Jones, Esq, and one o men, named Shields. The latter, without least hesitation, offered to go down to rss] his fellow men; indeed such was hls ea] ness, that when one of the by-standerss posed to tie a rope round him, he couo be prevailed on to stop, till this was dop] fatal precipitancy! He had not descel more than five or six feet, when ne observed to quit the rope and fall. By time the feelings of the by-standers Y wrought up to the very highest pitch ! had not Mir. Jones been forcibly held | by MT. Julien's servant girl and oas two others, he, no doubt, would have s1'1 the same fate as the three that had ready suffered. But for all this, an0l victim, named Mathew, with fatally seems most extraordinary, attempted lne5 cue; and like those who had made s|' attempt, he met with the same faee, anu above the other three.

VEGETABLES FEED ON VEGETABLES

NisUi- OIN FEUE T
 The importance of every species of ve- getable and animal matter, as a manure for the soil, may be made apparent to any farmer by few plain considerations.
 Every kind of animal matter is derived originally from vegetables, and is cony ertible, by natural process, again into vegetables. And every part of a vegetable is in like man. her convertible into new plants
 The elementary matters of species of vegetable are always the same; that is, a stool of wheat, or a stock of corn, grown this year, contains the same materials, and in about the same proportions, as they did last year. These materials. which constitute

AT an agricultural meeting held on
evening last week at the. State House il
Boston, some interesting remarks wer
made on the cultivation Of FRUIT. w.
make some extracts below, from the re
port in the Mercantile Journai:-
TRANSMITTING TREEs.-M Mr.. Ruckmin
sier, editor OF he Pioughman, remarked
that farmer from Bedford once reques
ted his advise on the best mode oil trans
1plantlng trees. He told him, among
other things, not 20 have too rich soil
bot about as rich as corn soft; and alss
cautioned him against digging the hole:
Tor the roofs too deep, The farmer mex
consulted the keeper Of nursery nea,
tins city on the subject, Informing him o
his conversation with him, (Mr. Buck
mnlsler,) and OF the plan he recommended
The nurseryman treated The advice ria.
ther con'emp,uously, saying that the
publisher OF the Ploughman did no, know
any thing about it, and Recommended
HIM 10 dig deep holes for the roots of his
trees, and set them well down. The
farmer tined both plans; setting the roots
o. one hall OF the trees in deep holes,
and the other half in shallow ones, bu,
not with equal success; for he (Mr. 81
was informed about ii fortnight, ago that
those trees whose roots were set neares,
the surface, grew twice us li,s1 as those
winch We're set deeper Fruit trees,
When property sci out, grow about one

usually occupy about four hours in e,tinn
a tree; having previously taken great
pains in preparing the soil. The soil
should be ina good condition previous to
transpian,ins trees; the roots should have
their natural spread; the tree should not
be shaken, but allowed to wave freely
this made it hardy He remarked, in
conclusion, that he had paid good deal
OF attention to transplun,ing trees, and
had thoroughly examined the subject.
GRATING Trees. MIR. Merriam said.
in grating tree, he cut off the ends Of
the branches, bat not the branches from
the main trunk; he trimmed off these
enls SO as to give the tree the appea rance
Of an open umbrella; he grated twice as
many as he wanted TO grow, for the good

draw larger quant;sy DC sap and cause
the gtalledF limb,%b languis.,, and some
times die. Another plan. which cultiya-
tors pursued, was to cut etf one half al
the branches in one year, md the e,her
hsif the nexl. But this pan was liable
TO objection. That part Of the tree which
was no. trimmed would absorb lhsylnrger
part or the sap. causing an unequal
growth i,ssshs TREE, and seriously injurine
it. He had placed 100 scions in large
tree, in two days, himself. He examined
the trees in the spring, and looked after
the wax, to prevent the water from runn-
ins into the limb from the scion.
