REMEDY FOR yellow BUGs.-Hiram Steele
Esq, Representative from Cunmington, Mass
has published the following communication in the
Boston CuI,iyator, recommending a new remedy
for one Of the most destructive insects that easis
upon the farmers productions:
Yesterday heard Of a new experiment in pre-.
venting those yellow bugs from killing our cucum-
bers and other vines in The spring Happening to
stop at Mr. Holmes shop, he asked me il wanted
TO know what would prevent the bugs from eating
my vines this spring. | told him that | should be
glad TO find some antidote, but should not be full
believer until had proved il. He said should
be satisfied when he told lie said Mr. Beebe last
season, had his vines eaten up two three times,
and he determined TO do something TO stop them.
He took cotton batting, and peeled it off in thin
flakes, and put il over the plants and bug could
not get near them The edges Of the cotton he
covered with earth, that il staid in its place. and
his plants grew finely. the cotton being obsiruc-
ton 10 light, heat and air.
TRANsPLANTINGPEAcm TREEs-A writer in the
Albany Cultivator, expresses the following opinion
the subject Of TRANSFORMING budded peach trees
"a writer in the Horticultursi, thinks it is not
advisable to transplant peach trees the first year after
budding. This was once my opinion; but have
found that trees planted in the spring. that had been
budded the previous fall did better than il left one
year longer. They are more certain of growing,
and transplantlng them makes little or no difference
in the growth. | transplanted some last spring, in
the latter part of April or the beginning of May,
that have grown more than six feet high. l was
first led to this practice from nurseryman, to
whom applied for some trees, and thought it at
first, nothing more or less than to sell me
the young trees, he had older OF the sort
wanted. But have found by experience that il
is the best way, and all that person has TO do is to
take care that they have iuing buds, not what is
called by some dormant ones. In lot that plant.
ed out last spring, believe had but one which
missed, though had or that did not START till
late. but they made nearly three feet"

Agricultural Department.

Recommendations no part Of husbandry is
more familiar than ploughing, and no part, as
general rule, more imperfectly done. The farmers
Of this country, anxious 10 gain possession Of ex
tensive farms, generally occupy moro land than
they can command means to cultivate in proper
manner The consequence is that the ploughing
like every thing else, is done in hurry, and there.
fore only half done. The bes, fields are ploughed
only once, and the hardest twice; and what is not
cut up is said TO be covered up, and hence ready
for the seed This is all wrong and ruinous to the
farmer. The invarable rule should be, to cultivate
no more land than can be cultivated well and in
poughing, to repeat the process until the soil, to
the depth Of a full deep furrow, is reduced to a
fine mellow texture-whether it requires the pro-
cess to be repeated ten times or only once. The
furrow should be cut deep enough to turn up and
thoroughly expose the lower part of the soil, that
mineral ingredients, capable of supplying the inor-
panic elements of plants may be exposed to the ac-
ton of the roots Of living vegetables. Such plough
ing, continued for few years, with due in the
addition Of proper substances as manures, will con-
vert almost any soil into fine mellow loam which
is the state so desirable TO every agrculiurst The
advantages Of leaving the soil in such condition
are, that it affords the greatest facility for the
tension Of the young roots, and more readily yields
TO them its nourshing qualities; that il easier and
more readily absorbs the water which falls on its
surface, and thereby prevents it from injuring the
tender plants; and it also becomes fit for cultivation
much earlier in the spring than soil that has been
left in hard and compact state; and finally, its
loose, porous texture prevents it from becoming
baked hard and dry in the season of drought, and
it allows the moisture from the sub-soil below Ia
rise through it, to sustain vegetation its surface
All soils should be pUughed from six 10 twelve
inches Deep for the roots OF many plants naturally
penetrate even deeper than this.--Iris.

Il il at present scarcely covered with water.
Forthwith he kindled his light; and, that he
might have every advantage, we threw hlm
down quantity Of dry sticks, with winch
he made a blaze, which distinctly showed us
the whole of the well, from the top to the
bottom. ,,
ave saw the end of the rope at Its lower

rin above, that we might have exact measure

dnr when he came into our hands he was
unable to speak, and we laid him down on the
margin of the we'll that he might collect his
breath. where is the bakshish ? were the
first words which he uttered on regMnlng
his faculty of speech. 1t was immediately
forthcoming, to the extent OF about soTe-

sum we divided among our Arab assistants.
The book, from having been SO long stepped
in the water and mud below, was, with the
execution of the boards reduced to mass OF
pulp. In our effort to recover 1t we had
ascertaned the depth of the well, which IS

about nine feet. It is entirely hcwn out OF

THE VOICE.
BRANDON:
THURSDAY. Get. q, 1847.

RECENT Tour. Having Just returned nom tour
to New Iork-back to Troy ;-thence by way Of
Boston, we will name Il few things seen and report
ed by others during our absence.
On Wednesday of last week the interest at the
FAIR Of the AMEmcAH INSTITUTE, held at Castle
Garden, was still on the increase, as will be
from the fact that in eight days about 10000 people
had visited the grand display of various articles
exhibition there.
Gen. TOM THUMB was also drawing great crowds.
The opinion was several times expressed that Mr..
BARNUM, the owner ofthe Museum near the AsToR
HOUSE had cleared more than 100000 in corso
quonco of the deep interest he had taken in the little
Generals welfare! 1t vas also stated the Miniature
man had accumulated more than $500, 600 since his
first public exhibition. This is not very slow for
man weighing only fifteen pounds!
The Theatres, according to the accounts in DIFF
ferent New York papers, were having grand time
of it too, drawing full houses and good deal Of
cash from the lovers of theatrical performances.
But among the variety Of thing designed to profit
OF amuse, were others Of another character,-an
instance or two of which we will name as an illus
tration AS We were passing up Cc11t1fa@ street
on Tuesday night our ears were saluted with most
hdeou noise on the opposite side Of the street, and
on glaucng that way We noticed several men col
ccted. We passed over to enquire the cause Of the
disturbance and were informed that man had the
deh,iun tremens, and that the Watchmen had him
under their special care. On returning about an
hour afterwards we found the object of pity, on the
opposite side of the street, eecting the contents
which he had procured at Ram shop, and which
had well nigh cost him his life. He soon so far
covered as to say in reply to questions from the
Police that he belonged in Jersey City, As appear
ed, he had come over to transact business-vised
groggary-partook so freely old king Alcohol IS
to change him from man to Il lOwFHg,-rori@g
maniac. The other case Of this species occurred at
or near 422 Broadway. As appeared from the
statement given us by man residing there, two
gangs of gambling and drinking rowGies, were in
the habit, when meeting, Of having Il fight. On
Monday night two of the leaders engaged IN close
eucouatcr-one Of them getting the other down Hnd
threatening to take his life. The police was called
and secured the stronger one, but soon released him
or he escaped On Tuesday night, he and CON-
rade of his met the other and told him he must kill
Them or they should kill him. He replied that he
was prepared to defend himself At this his assa-
ants rushed towards him, when he drew a revolving
pistol and shot one Of them in the neck and the

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
,Uow Citizens of the Senate, and

House Of Representatives:
The Annual assembagc of our State Legs
lature ever presents an appropriate season ior
a passing survey of those prominent inciIehiS
ncrtaiuing to our common welfare which have
marked the previous year. And upon such
n survey on the present occasion, We find
ourselves surrounded with abundant cause for
Gratitude to that Benihccnt Being from whom
we receive every good. The year has been
characterized by cheering state Of activity
and prosperity in our business operations )
and although our reioiciu% in this respect
should perhaps be somewh&t tempered by me
reflection which forces itself upon us that this
favorable condition is to no small extent re-
suit of the destitution and distress winch nave
prevailed in other lands, yet such a remem-
brance may serve to impress upon US the more
deeply sense of obligation that We too, have
not been suffering the want OF bread. 30 lar
from this, we have been enjoying an unstlned
supply of the fruits Of the earth during the
wear past, and another rich harvest has been
freshly gathered in. Our people, too, have
been preserved from any wide spread ana des-
oIating sickness; civil order has been main
tanned; and our Distinguishing social and re-
lieious privileges, unimpaired, have been
welding, 1Of our eHJog lhCllt' 'li0il i'm "i'1'
countless blessings
AS we enter upon the discharge Of our lc-
cis!ative duties, let us not only boaf in mind
9nr obloa.;o0e to those who have committed
their interests to our care, but also recognize
our responsibility 10 q Higher Power IN
der the generally received and substantially
correct doctrine, that laws are but the eX--
preston Of The public mind and an index OF
public morals, there is danger of our over
looking truth of great practical Importance
that lies beyond. Laws themselves in turn
exert an influence in forming the character OF
A people The estimate which those who are
assumed to be among the wisest and most Yir'
fnous of the State, implicitly place upon Ger:
tain acts by their lcg,sIation goes far to mould
the public sentiment in regard to those acts
And in view of the educational inlluencewhch
the LEGISLATOR in this way eXcrts, he should
not regard it as his paramount and exclusive
purpose to register the public will, but nc
should also aim to be guided in every act O.
legislation by the elevated principles t souno
christ ian morality.
