MANURE FROM TIE OCEAS-PRICE % LASo
We were tOIcIbly struck, while spending a few
days, last season, IN the pleasant nelghbOIhOOd
Of New Haven, Conn, with the uniformly mag
nIhcent fields of Indian corn, that everywhere
met the eye From the constantly varying sur
lace OF nil and dale, rocky emInences, and
marsly plains, and the number OF small, landed
prOpnetOTs, occupying them, the fields, though
numerous were not extensive But they wese
invariably Of the most luxuIiant growth; and
would weld from so to so, ana peIhsps 100 bush
els Of sheled corn per acre.
This luXunance Was almost exclusively The le-
suit Of the application OF fish and sea weed
The latter is Ihrown upon the shore by storms,
or, what - more usual, Is gathered frOm the
locks, far oelOs the surface Of the Eatsr by those
who make II q business dunng the proper season,
tor the purpose OF selling II to the tanners The
| ilsh are Principally the mOssbunkers, that come
upon the whole eastern coast IN countless shoals
dunng the summer months. But with these a
great vanety Of others are brought to shore IN
| the capacIous nets that are used. We saw young
sharks, OF considerable size and number, among
vast multItudes OF Others that were taken 81
SINGLE haul, and We thought them much more
appropriately employed in feeding com 10 feed
children, than feeding on them
| The practice above noted, has raised thepIice
OF land from SIS OF $50 per acre, TO SIS and
i
TO i-e derived by an intelligent husbandTy, whose
attention is awake TO every object that can be
enlisted for the promotion Of its inteIests.-Asssr-

How To MEND CROcKKRY WARE-Take care
that the fractured edges OF the vessel are not
.nippel, nor suffered 10 contract dirt; for If a
dirty dish, or cup, De broken, II IS almost, but
not quite, a hopeless case; wash Il gently and
la. ST
water and let il dIy without wiping The pieces
should then be- fitted together as soon s. posi-
Bile, and kept in Their places BY winding hrmly
lover the bowl, or dish, strong thread OF piece
Of Irvine; put the broken article into boiler, an
inch OF two larger each way, and I'll them both
with sweet cold SKINNED mix; set the boiler
over the Ere, and boil Tor ten OF fifteen minutes;
take II of and let il stand until quite cod when
the stung, or twlne may be cut, and the article
washed IN wam water.
II the above directions have been carefully al
tended to- the vessel will be found fmly and pet
manenlly united, so that 1t cannot again be sep
aratesl at the same place, which looks only LIKE
4 | crack This Is also an excellent method o!
preventing cracks from becoming fractures, pro
vided the same process Of closing by winding The
thread beobserved.
India, French, and may add our Philsdsl-
phia porcelain, are too close grained TO be mend
ell in this way.-b. l. ,.
