An Incarnate' Fiend,

We learn from the Danyile (Va.)
Register. that on Saturday week, a ne
gro woman, belonging TO DR.. John
James, Of Wentworth, N. c., brutally
murdered his only child, an interesting
little daughter. about three years old,
and also negro boy belonging 10 the
same gentleman, and few years Older
than the little girl, by cutting their
throats with case knife. She enliced
the children into the woods, and whilst
saving upon the boys throat, who she
afterwards hadthe GOODNESS TO declare,
"kicked nightly" the simple but touch
ing appeals. OF the innocent little girl
was pleading for his release. The lit
tie girl was staggering about with the
blood streaming from her rnanglsds
throat, when the inhuman wretch left
the bloody scene. The citizens turned
out enmasse and arrested her, and il
was feared for awhile they would lynch
her. Her excuse is, that her master
had threatened 10 sell her for misde.
meanor. t.+

Tilling Orchards.

There are advantages and disadvan,
tages in tiling an orchard. In tiled
ground trees are the most vigorous and
thrifty: and it seems TO be in a measure
necessary to plough few years to
give the young trees start. Yet even
at this period great care is required not
to cut the roots with tho plough. But
when the trees have acquired six or
eight years growth, and the roots be-
come extended, still greater precaution
is necessary, or the injury becomes Sc.
rious. 1t is not altogether the large
roots that are so liable to be cut, for
these are often below the plough, but
the innumerable fbres that spread in
every, direction, which escape the
ploughman's notice, but which are lit
orally the mouths that convey food to
the plant. My practice has been, when
an orchard is to be ploughed, to proceed
first to dig the ground sufficiently with
the spade. about the tree, two or three
feet in breadth, and so many yards
lengthwise Of the furrows, so that there
shall be no balk. and to run the plough
shallow near the dug part; and when
the orchard is in grass, to dig circles
round the trees after harvest, both to
facilitate growth, and to prevent injury
in winter from moles. There is no less
caution necessary in using the spade
than the. plough, TO preserve the roots
entire. 1t is agoodspractice to cot the
grass close with ahoe, and then to strew
rotten chip dung, if mixed with q little
lime the better, about the tree.--M .E.

The Garden.

III a snug. Well-kept kitchen garden is
not an infallible proof OF thrift, when
seen near a farm house, it is pretty
certain indication of comfort and good
sense. II shows that the owner is well
TO live, and intends to live well, so far
as his labor and his lands can conduce
to good living; for it will not be denied,
that the farm and the garden may be
made to produce not only the substan.
tiaIs, but great many OF the. Iuxuries
which, while they are grateful to the
senses, neither p; ! the appetite, viliate
the taste, impair the health, nor corrupt
the morals of those who partake sof
them. Some consider the productions
of the garden as constituting no neces-
ssry part Of the human food. So the
man of the forest would tell us, that
bread is an unnecessary article of food
the Abyssinian, that it is unnecessary
to cook our meat-and many of the in.
habitants of Asia would insist that it is
impNus TO indulge in the use OF fanimal
food at all. But as none Of these opin.
ions are suited to our age and country,
there is no need Of combating them.-
The pleasures and benefits of garden
are so manifest, that none who have
once enjoyed them are willing, volun,
tarlly, to do without them. To have
a succession Of delicious fruits, plucked
at maturity, from the trees and vines
which one has planted, and to partake
daily Of fresh gathered vegetables from
ones garden, the produce Of his labor,
promotive alike ofhealth and pleasure,
are no mean qualification; and yet they
are privileges, we are sorry TO say,
which, though all can, enjoy. but few,
comparatively, participate in.
Letus enumerate, some Of the good
things conducive alike to health and in
nocent grati6cation,, which a garden
may be made to produce with very lit.
tie expense. Or perennial products
which require very little care after they
are once estabished--we will name OF
fruits, the strawberry, Qor these will be
smothered by the grass on well con-
Quoted farmO the currant, gooseberry,
plumb, pear, ounce, grape, and, in sit
uations where they will thrive, the ap.
,ricot and peach. But Of f'fruits,I would
have none but Of the best sorts; for the
best are are as cheap as the worst are
as easy cultivated, and are infinitely
more healthy and grateful. These, i'll
well selected, will give succession Of
fruitfrom June 10 November, and in a
preserved State during the year.-l
Plants 10 begin with, will cost from
three 10 FIVE dollars They may be
multiplied by grating, budding, &C.,
BY the boys or men Of the family, with
out any expense. The trees should be
SO arranged as 10 shade as little as pos.
sible the ground thatiis TO be TILED.

The great Island OF Borneo is as rich
perhaps, in the precious me tails as Mex
leo or Peru, possessing in one copve-
nient spot population of nearly l0o,-
900 Chinese, who work on the gold
mines of their own accord, and for their
own benefit. The annual produce Of
the mines on the west coast, is estima.'
ted at a, 744,OOO dollars. The quanti-
ty of gold procured in Sumatra, the
supposed Chersopeus OF the ancients, is
according to Mr.. Marsden about $4,000
ounces, which at "a sterling the ounce
is worth El23,9OO equal to $4,000
Spanish dollars. From a calculation
recently made, it appears that the mum;
Der of Chinese employed in the gold
mines at Monlrada, and other places
employed on the western side Of Bor7
neo, amounts 10 not less than $4,000
working men. This Island has lonj
supplied in the form OF "gold dust"
small ingots, returns in barter for acq
siderable portion Of the traffic in opita.
and piece goods TO the small trading
vessels amongst the eastern Islands;
and there is no doubt Of the existence
of considerable deposits Of gold in the
interior of tina. vast Island in various
localities. cal sr, -.s .t.. ....

barb) will furnish abundant materials for
pies and tarts, little, if any, inferior 10
to the gooseberry, from April till July
or until the fruit is sufficiently advanc.
ed to supply its place. These should
be planted two feet apart in good soil.
A bed OF forty by three and half fee
will supply the table with delicious as
Paragus during part Of April and the
whole of May and June, if kept in good
order. For this the ground should be
dug deep and made rich. The seed
which cos. a shilling, should be sown in
drills ten or twelve inches apart, about
the LIST of May; the bed should be kept
free from weeds, and the ground forked
in the spring. The third year it will be
fit 10 cut. Or, roots may be bought a,
fifty cents the hundred, which will give
crop the second year. Plant them
six inches apart in the drills. About
two hundred and fifty plants will fill a
bed Of the given dimensions. Among
the perennials | may also class some
medicinal plants and sweet herbs,
which are useful and necessary in the
economy Of a family, such as sage,
thyme, hissop, balm, rue, tanzy, worm.
wood, &C., which it requires ten times
the labor to beg from more provident
neighbors than it does to raise in our
gardens. The annual products which
60 towards subsisting family, and
which are seldom produced but in the
garden, are numerous, as the onion,
beet, carrot, parnsnip, cabbage, peas,
beans, pot herbs, salads, radishes,
squash, cucumber, melon, &c. Some
Of these are in use most of the season,
and most OF them afford valuable win
ter stores. '...
These productions of the garden
which have named, and the list might
be greatly extended, are all useful in
the economy ofa family; they afford a
grateful variety, and tend telessen, in
no inconsiderabe degree, the quantity
Of more solid and expensive food which
would be required without them; and
yet they may be produced in sufficient
quantities for an ordinary family upon
a quarter Of an acre of ground, and
without seriously abstracting from the
ordinary labor Of the farm. A garden
is truly matter of econ omy in pecu
mary point of view; but when we add
to this consideration, the comfort and
pleasure which it affords, we are per.
suaded we are in the line Of duty, in
commanding the subject 10 the partic-
ular consideration Of our readers. a-
1t is not our purposes al present to
prescribe rules for laying out or man
aging garden, yet we cannot forbear
to suggest, that the first step should be,
to enclose it with good substantial
fence, and to keep that at all times in
repair, so as efectuaIly to exclude hoof
and hog. We have said nothing Of the
sale OF surplus products Of a garden, al.
though hardly any location is without
a market for such products; nor have
we noticed the ornamental department
because the wife or daughters will
see to this, they ,Dil have their shrub
berry and flowery borders.-Alb. CuL.
