IMPORTANT FACTS IN AGRICULTURE
PLANTING PEACH STONES. We are re-.
quesled by Maiden farmer to give some
advice on the planting ofpeach stones
We advise him 10 bury the stones lmme-

in winter. THE stones are kept above
ground they become SO hard that they
will not burst open the first summer, and
many of the seeds will no: vegeiate az.

will vegelaIe aiier lying over one SUM
mer wien they have not been thoroughly
dried.
II you bury them Immediately after
eating The frui', they will be very certain
to vegetate the next spring, but this is
not always convenient, therefore lel the
stones not become very dry and you may
plant them in the spring after cracking
them open with a hammer; this is the
surest mode.
Peach stones should be planted in rich
ground at first 10 enable the stem TO gov

there is any fear of winter killing on &C.
count OF late growth. AIIer the first

to cause the tree 10 grow in September.

article Ofwheat. Up 10 the middle o
July, this staple commodity commanded
q good price, and went forward to mar

this was felt in the tolls on the canals,
which, during the months OF June and
July, increased from FIVE to six thousand
dollars per week, over those Of correspon-

Since the month Of July, the price has
declined, and very little, comparatively
speaking,has gone forward Prior to that
time, the great demand for the article
was for the CanadSn market. By the
retaliaiQTy system Of duties established

by the increase of our own tariff laws, this
market has, since the 18th of July last,
been effectually closed. The class Of

$4,000 have been already subscribed. In this case
we are presented with a very good illustration of
that species of generosity and religious benevoence
which is sufficiently active, when perfectly assured
that its doings will be appropriately sgnihed to the
public with trumpets, but which manages to be so
sgnally quescent when appealed to in quiet uu-
obtrusive way, in behalf of objects which present
no gttering glory TO the world This is the chart
ty which sends pae-faced young clergymen to die
