Sir; present TO said society the following
statement of my experiments in sRecIaiminp WET

My farm comprises good deal of low. moist

small hills, at the top and in the middle Of which
were two cold springs and some slough holes that
would not freeze in winter. Beside the usetnI.

was from four to eight rods wide and about fortv
rods long. ! cut ditch lengthwise througb ths

with dirt, making blind ditch. This swaIe now

ADJUSTMENTS. We quote the following re-
marks from the Report OF the Rev. Horatio Wood,
minister at large in Lowell.
There has been large increase of vice in the
city, the last year. The multiplication Of dram
shops, bowling alleys, and dances, many OF which
have proved midnight traps 10 innocence, are
both cause and proof. The public generally,
acknowledges, and lament, that dissipation has
made rapid advances. Numerous sincere lovers
OF their kind are concerned to know what is the
cause and remedy. They are persuaded that our
young people particularly are exposed to great
temptation. Can any thing be done 7 To assume
grave countenance, and declaim against aur-
ing amusements, will have no effect but with
lew Most youth will defend them at once, and
be determined to adhere to them.
Many toll for money, have il, and thew will
have pleasure. With minds uncultiyated, thew
seek for it in the outward. They will go where
it is provided; if not at home, abroad if not in
the parlor, in the cellar; it not in the private
mansion, in the public hall; il not constantly sup
piled with moderation, it will be occasionally en-.
joyed immoderately and extravagantly if there
has not been training to pure social intercourse
there will be painting for the qualification of the
sensual passions; if the affections have not been
set on what is high, they will grovel in what is
low, and snatch greedily at sentiments favorine
the lower nature. They will receive pleasure
from any hands that offer it, even il they swallow
ga bait with the pleasing il'' He who turn-
ishes pleasure is better friend than a parent,
brother, or sister, who is thought to throw
damper on free enjoyment. Pleasure. youth will
have. lit must come from the outward, WIN
should we not make amusements innocent in
themselves, more common at home, and regulate
them Or, why should not the wise and good
associate to povide plenty of innocent amuse-
ments, under the management of suitable per-
sons, while they aim at the same time TO form
higher and purer tastes.

READING. A proper and judicious system OIL
reading is of the highest Importance. Two
things are necessary in perusing the mental la.
bors Of others: namely, not to read too much,
and to pay great attention to the nature of what
you read. Many people peruse books for the
express and avowed purpose OF consuming time,
and this class OF readers forms by far the major
lty OF what are termed the "reading pubIic''-
Others again read with the anxiety OF being made
wiser; and when this object is not attained, the
disappointment may generally be attributed,
either to the habit Of reading too much, or paw.
ing insufficient attention TO what falls under their
notice. Bldkey's Logicl

The examination of Thayer, who implicated with

before Justices Whiting and Cady at Uxbrdgeon Thurs
day last and continued hroug the day and Friday without

fair is shrouded. The examination then postponed

name of Sherman employed by Anan Richardson
in whose house the murder committed, laborers
on his farm. Knowlton and Sherman had both had
quarres with Thayeras well with each other Thayer
and Richardson also, were not good terms, thai
Thayer did not come to Richardson's when he was al
