a nurse putting a baby to sleep. When childen get

the whole of the process by which bad land is to be
converted into good and productive, and to be con-
tinued in that state-s comprised in the three fol-

To carry off all superfuous and stag"ant water
by means of judicious draining.
2. To retrieve, through the medium of manure
the strengthand fertility which has been exhaust
ed by cropping.
3. To extract all noxious weeds, that the strength
of the manure may be thrown into the crops, and
not into the weeds"

MINES. Mr.. Daniel Asbury. of Charlotte, North
Carolina. has recently published report on the gold
and copper mines of Gold Hill, Rowan County, N.
g.. From the statistics given by DR.. Asbury, it ap-
pears that the Gold Hill mines have afforded 81
100000 since their discovery in l843 and that their
exploration has led to the growth of village of
above eight hundred inhabitants situated directly
over the mines. The gold region covers about
square mile. The veins are numerous, we'll defined,
of large size. and judged to be of unendng DEPTH
as they are entirely vertical in their positions The
average yield of the ore, by the first process, is ST.
so per lOOIbs. The sands are then re- washed Ave
times by different parties. The report also re.
fers to the mine of Dorm, in Edgd6eld, South Caro-.
lima. In this mine the report says, it has been a
very common result for the hands TO average SO
each per day! A single blast of powder has often
thrown out $500 in fragments of gold, which the
miner could at once step forward and gather up in
his hands! This mine is now yielding 5000 900
per annum, with force of scarcely than twenty
