SMOKING MEAT--The best, most ef-
fectual, cheapest, and aeatest manner of
smoking meat that has ever come under
my observation, is, to place shovel OF
live Goals in pan, or some low dish, and
lay on them a few sugar-maple chips.
Dry ones are the best, for it requires too
much fire TO use them green. No other
wood will produce so sweet smoke as su-
gar maple; and the coal Of it will keep
alive as long, or longer than the Goals of
other wood. In the absence of. chips,
we use corn CORDS, which are nearly as
good as chips. Three or four, laid on a
few Goals, will produce smoke sufficient
to gil an ordinary smoke e-house.
As a substitute for a smoke-house, we
have been ACCUSTOMED to use molas-
ses hogshead, covered with boards on the
top, and a hole sawed in the side, near
the bottom, large enough to admit pan
of Goals, with cob or two, Or a few
small chips. Thus we avoid all danger
of setting fire to the smoke-house, and
consuming meat and all, and our meat
is not " half baked" but presents a
clean, copper-colored appearance.
Let those who have been accustomed
to smoke their meat over a log-heap,
adopt the mode of smoking it gently,
and then say which way is the best

AGRICULTURAL,


PLASTER OF PARIs.-In various To-
calities in New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, plaster of Paris is exten-
sively used as manure. The best kind
is imported from hills in the vicinity of
Paris, whence its name 1t is brought
down the Siene, and exported from
Havre de Grace. The Jumps composed
Of fat shining specula, are preferred to
those which are composed of round par
ticles, like sand The quality is ascer-
tanned by very simple method. Pull
verise lump, and put the particles, dry,
into an iron pot over the fire. If good,
it will soon boil, and great quantities of
the fixed air escape by ebullition. The
finer the pulverization the better, as
thereby it will be more generally diffused.
. The proper time for sowing it is on a
wet day. The most approved quantity
for grass is six bushels per acre. No
art is required in sowing it, more than
making the distribution as equal as pos
siblc on the sward of grass. 1t operates
altogether as a top manure, and conse-
quently should not be put on in the
spring until the principal frosts are over,
and vegetation has commenced. Its eff
fects will be perceived in ten or fifteen
days, after which the growth Of grass
will be so great as to produce large
burden at the end of six weeks after SOW
ing. 1t may be sown at any period of
time between the first of April and the
last of September.
1t should be sown on dry land, not
subject to be oveihowed. 1t may be
applied to Ill varieties of soil with decid-
cd advantage, but its effects are soonest
visible on sand. Like other manures,
however, it is thought to continue best
on clay.

Why A NETTLE STINGs.-The COM
mon large nettle is known by grievous
experience to every one, though, per-
haps, you have never yet inquired
whence the pain arises from touching it.
The sting is not, like a pin or needle,
solid throughout but it is hollow at the
center, and perforated at the point and
when touched, it is not only sharp
enough to pierce the skin, but is also so
constructed as to ej1ct particle OF
poisonous fluid into the wound it makes,
and this is the source of the pain which
follows. The wound itself is so minute
that it would scarcely be felt, but the
poison irritates, inaames, and causes the
we'll know pain alluded to. The plant,
the small species of which stings the
most severely, is covered all over with
hairs, but by using microscope or mag
nifying glass, you may perceive that
they are not all of one kind, some being
perforated, which are the stings, while
others are not. Each sting stands upon
pedestal, and this pedestal performs
the Office both of gland and poison
bag. 1t is cellular and spongy within !;
the sting is placed on its top, and may
be moved by slight pressure to either
side, or round in circle; it seems to
stand, as it were on universal joint
When a body touches its point, the base
is pressed down into the spongy pedes-
tai, and the poisonous fluid rushes mp
through the tube of the sting, and flows
out of the terminal aperture.

last, on Mayo's Bridge. As the difficulty had for
its origin trivial if not an imaginary cause,
far as Monroe was concerned, Frost applied to the
authorities for redress. A peace warrant for the
arrest of Monroe, having been placed in the hands
of officers Pearce and Tyler, those faithful public
servants repaired to Rockets Monday for the pur'
pose oftaking the desperate into custody. They
found him on the wharf and upon making known
their business, were informed that he would not
suffer them to arrest him. The officers thereup-
made rush to secure him, when he boldly
leaped into the river, and struck out manfully for
the Manchester shore. But the officers We're too
smart for him. Jumping into boat lying the
beach, they speedily overhauled the swimmer,
and returned to the shore with him. Onappear-

OF receipts over exports of S2,343,0oO. This ad-
ded to the large excess-some ten millions-no-
