American Cranberries.

Mr.. Sullivan Bates. of Bellingham, Nor
folk county, Mass, has of late years devot-
ed himselfto the culture of Cranberrles, with
the greatest success. He has entirely de-
monstrated the fallacy of the supposition
that this fruit could only be raised on
marshy soil, for he has for several years
grown the bushes with the utmost success
on high ground. He says that any ground
OH which potatoes can be raised, will do for
Cranberries.
In this view, the culture of the Cranber-
ries becomes Of great Importance to farmers.
and from it, is made the finest tarts and jel.
lies in the world. For convenience of cul-
ture, it has no equal among the crops, for
one crop lasts the whole season.
The American Cranberry is nearly twice
the size of the Russian or English. The
Cranberries of this country have frequent
ly brought $40 per barrel in Liverpool.
We trust the culture of Cranberries will
be more generally attended to in future.
As many, no doubt, are DESTROYS to know
where they can obtain the means of raising
them, we would state that Mr.. Bates, whose
address is given above, has on hand large
quantities Of the plants, which he sends, on
order, at 81 per thousand-.$S per thous-
and for less quantities than one thousand
to all parts Of the country.
As he is acknowledged to be the father
of American Cultured CranberriAs, those
who want TO raise good fruit should send
to him. The plants which he sends will.
in two or three years, spread wonderfully
producing immense crops.-Mass. Spy.

How to Grow Melons.

A correspondent of the Horticulturists
says Il had the pleasure of eating some
very fine musk-melons at Cottage Lawn,
the seat of Thomas W. Ludlow, Esq, and
he kindly gave me the following account of
his method of treating them. which is so
much less expensive and more simple than
the usual manner Of projecting the young
plants with hand glasses, which require a
small fortune devoted to them alone, and |
think it may be useful to some of your
readers.
After the young plants have been %"start-
ed" in a frame, they are set out in the
melon patch, and each one is enclosed by
four common bricks. laid flat on the broad
side, and the space at the top is covered
over with a pain of ordinary glass. This
enclosure remains until the plant reaches
the glass, when the bricks are turned up on
one side, and the glass replaced. By the
time they have grown up to this %"roof,"
they are strong enough to do without pro-
lection, and the season so far advanced that
frost is not feared. The fruit, resulting
from this treatment, was uncomonIy fine
and large, and the vines very healthy and
strong. The seeds may be sow at once
in the melon-bed, if more convenient, and
enclosed with brick and glass.

Married without Knowing it,

A gentleman of Indiana is claimed by a
lady in this city as her husband Hearing
of the claim of late, the gentleman made
his way to this city in considerable haste
to see the person who claimed him. He
searched the records, and it was ascertained
that the regular papers had been made out
that the marriage had taken place, anc
that a clergyman of good standing had of
hciated, and the whole matter was, to nj
appearances, a legal transaction. The lady
herself states that the gentleman is the iden
tlcal person she was married to.
But our Hoosier ~neighbor denies al
knowledge Of the lady, and, in a card which
we find in yesterdays Gazette, intimate.
that some person bearing a strong resem
blance to him, and, of course, knowing hi
residence, of1iciated as his representative
got married. and in a short time after lef
for parts unknown This is the latest i'm
position, if imposition it be, aud we doub
not it is, that has come to light. The OBJ
ject OF the false man is plain, namely, t.
impose upon the lady and escape the law

Plank Roads.

The following from Hunts Magazine, is
a Just estimate of the value of Plank Roads ::
"In a list Of the great improvements
which have given to this age the character
which 1t will bear in history above all others
the age of happiness TO the people the
plank road will bear prominent place, and
it deserves it. 1t changes the condition of
the farmer wherever it is found. 1t gives
a th%oroughfare, second only to the railway ;
and, in this respect, superior TO it, that it
may be used by all, without being subject
ed to the rules and regulations Of others,
as to time, speed, or equlpage in which
they may choose to travel. 1t annihilates
one Of the sorest evils known to our rural
llte-an evil which parts of our country,
an involuntary hermitage, secluded, and at
tainable only by a weary pilgrimage over
no, not over-but through roads which
seemed to have concentrated all the evils
which could embarrass the traveller. A bad
road is no longer known where there is a
pland road. The farmer is brought in the
vicinity of the village and city, enjoying its
benefits, and exempt from its inconvenien-
ces. The plank road finds its way to the
forests, first, building itself from them, and
then placing the wood treasure into active
use, 1t allures the settler to redeem lands
hitherto set down desperate real estate, un-
real as to income, and real only as to taxa
ton 1t goes up into wild lands and pleas
ant drives. 1t magnifcs the means used
by the farmer in taking his products to
market. 1t is the road of the people
open to all, and like the nation in whose
energies it has grown into such favor, it is
every year increasing its range and extend
ing its benefits.

Hints for Y Dung Ladies.

II any young woman wastes in trivial
amusements, the prime season for improve
ment, which is between the ages of sixteen
and twenty, they regret bitterly the loss,
when they come to feel themselves inferior
in knowledge to almost every one they con-
verse with aud above all if they should
ever be mothers, when they feel their ina
blllty to direct and assist the pursuits of
their children, they find ignorance severe
modification and a real evil. Let this ami
mate their industry, and let a modest opin,
ion Of their capacities be an encourage
ment to them in their endeavors after knowl-
edge. A modeKate understanding, with
dlIigent and welI.directed application, will
90 much farther than a more lively genius,
if attended with that Impotence and lnaten-
ton which too often accompany qnick parts
1t is not for want of capacity that so many
women are such triAing, insipld companions
so Ill qualified for the friendship and con
versatIon of a sensible man, or for the task
of governing and instructlng a family it is
often from the neglect of exercising the tai
ents which they really have, and from
emitting to cultivate a taste for intellectual
improvement by this neglect they lose the
sincerost pleasures, which would remain
when almost every other forsakes them, OF
which neither fortune nor age can deprive
them, and which would be a comfort and
resource ii almost every possible situation
