A THRILLING ScENE.-In Frankfort, the banks OF
the Penobscot in Maine, gentleman lost his wife by
DEATH Three days after her interment he had some
business with young physician of that town. Call
ing at his house, he was informed that the doctor had
gone out but would soon return. He concluded to
wait, and to pass the time agreeably, as he
thought went into the young physicians studio, and
there he found student with pel in hand, IN the
act of dissecting dead body. He started back at
first view, as people generally do when suddenly COM
ing into the presence of the dead Recovering from
his surprise he stepped towards the corpse which the
student was cutting and found the dead body to be
that of his wife, buried three days before. His feel
inos may be imagined, but cannot be described: The
husband Immediately took legal measures against
both student and doctor. They were examined and
bound over to answer for the crime of carrying away
and dissecting dead bodies.

Messrs. Editors 1t is now pretty
we'll ascertained that the best of plan
ters cannot realize more thau six per
cent on their capital invested in he pro-
duction OF cotton, at It's present prices;
and that others cannot more than sus
tain the expenses oftheir Plantations
The time has then come, when planters
should moi only talk about but practice
economy. The golden age has passed
by, and now comes the tug and grip
with bare necessity.
1t behooves planters to look about
them, and attempt either TO find more
profitable investments Of their capital;
or study more severe economy of
their lands, their labor, aud their hab-
its.
| would not advise the first 10 any
large extent, unless the prospect was
permanently and hopelessly wrong;-
but the last may we'll be praciiced in the
face ofthe most golden realization.
The planters should study and prac-
lice the mode of cultivation, that would
realize the most, with the least expense.
This, | cannot but think, may be part
ly accomplished, by regularly and con-
stanliy carrying out system of ma
nuring. Under the present mode of
cultivation the waste of soil is prodig-
| Gus; and SO Likewise is the waste of la
Dor. Well tested experiments in vari-
rlous parts of the cotton growing region
have manifested, that the richest bottom
soils have their capacities for the pro-
ductlon of cotton increased fully one
third, by the process of mannrlng; and
poorer soils nearly one half. And ~,
with an improvement instead Of an ~.

ticuIarlzc on some points.
The soil will produce from one thou.
sand to eighteen hundred pounds OF cot
ION per acre. or from eight TO twelve
barrels of corn-tw0 10 three hundred
bushels of potatoes, &c.
Would it not be much better for those
farmers who live in The older States,
upon poor old worn out hills, 10 leave
their places and remove TO place
where they can make such crops as
these? know pla ntaticns III adjoining
States, on whichthe cotton crop will not

from twenty-five 10 twenty-eight feet,
and the water is very good. On the
hills the wells have TO be much Deeper
in some portions Of the country, there
are plenty of good springs.
The range for cattle and other stock,
is generally good-especially near the
river and large creeks. On these there
is an abundance Of cane, on which large
numbers of cattle feed during the win
ter and keep fat.
To those who are fond of hunting for
bear, deer, turkeys, &c, we would say
there is almost an inexhausiible supply
of these auimals in the swamps which
lie in the western part Of the county,
In the lakes of these swamps, fish are
said 10 be very abundant; and upon their
borders is many Ian old cypress tree,
filled with honey.

upon the blades of grass, yet thousands
Of dimes, dollars, and even eagles lie

Florida has never increased very rap
idly in population. Her tropical eli

abnnianHy large, but much Of il is bar

low water and irreclaimable morasses.
Much Of il is unhealthy. Then the afro
cious Seminole War, while it prodigally
enriched the scheming few, impoyer
shed many, arrested industry and i'm
provement, drove away many and for
years prevented immigration. Her to-
tai population was, by the Stale Cen.

1872 were slaves, and 958 Free Blacks.
