! The following report was LANDED TO the Prin-
ripal By the committee on the last examination.
( The committee was composed OF Rev. j. Squicr,
Of Port Deposit. MI, Rev. S. NJ. Osmond, OF
Oxford Pa, and s. J Dickey, Esq, OF lIopewcll
by invitation Of Mr.. james +. Doran, A.
NJ. Principal Of the Hopcwcl! Classical and
Mercantile School, the Undersigned, as com
mlttec attended and conducted the public en-
animation Of its pupils. which took place al the
close OF the present session, Sept 9th, 1852.
The time allowed for our investigations, was
sufficiently protracted TO be perfectly sallsac-
tory. The different branches Of study, upon which
the pupils were examined, were such as are
usually pursued schools Of the same standing,
embracing those aoi rudlmrn,al character, as
well as the more advanced subjects connected
with the natural sciences, Mathematics, and
Languages. The examination was thorough
and searching. Trhe Principal urged bs to ma 9
it such. and as ia as our ability extended, VIC
did so. The class were given up entirely to
our disposal, and could possibly know nothing
OF the portion upon when they were To he en-
amined. OF the questions which were lobe asked.
We endcayorcd 10 test the knowledge Of the
pupils more As TO IDEAS and things, than mere
,rords-to learn whether Judgment, as we'll as
memory. was receiving its adequate cultivation.
Sometimes tie text book was ligidly followed,
but more frequently independent questions were
asked. Tor the purpose of discovering whether
an ability had been acquired for praciicai ap-
plicoion oflhe principles mastered. In justice
TO both teachers and pupils, we feel bonnd to
say that the examination was Mcbly sustained.
There was an appearance Of confidence in the
pupils, "a promptness and clcarnrSs in answer
ing the questions put to them, which we feel
assured could result only from Mor0u Oh prcpurGt
transportation too, Of the right kind, --ao-
mere examining for the occasion, or Il drilling
on particular points for the purpose Of doing
well on examination day,--but such as faithful
discipline and honest, dIigcnt application can
alone give.
From the iaithfulncss evinccd on this occa-
sion By the principal, and the diligence and
progress of hr pupils, we take pleasure in re-
commenting this Institution TO the patronage of
the community, feeling confident that all those,
committing their son. or wards to his care, will
be amply rewarded by their moral and intel
lcclual advancement

CANrALEurEs, Musk AND WATER
MrLoNs.---Ge: your crops of thes" IN as
early this month as pos ibe. TO pre-
vent the admixture and deterioration,
these fruits should not be planted nearer
together than from 800 TO 400 yards
We have known single gouyd vine,
which cameup spontaneously, and trail
ed on the fence that bounded large
patch Of Cymblins: 10 so impregnate The
latter as to render them unfit for Gull
nary purposes
PREPARATION OF THE GRoUND.--The
gound should be MANFRED moderately
with nutritive manure of some kind,
which should be ploughed deeply in;
this done, harrow until you obtain a
thorough pulvprIzaIion; then roll, and
list the ground 6 feet apart. At the
intersection Of each list, spread shovel
full Of compost formed and we'll mixed
together, of 7 parts, well ro'tcd dung
and l part ashes, Dig it in with the hoe;
over this manure form a fiat hill, about
8 inches high; then plant ) or Is seeds in
each hill, or 2 inches deep. When
your seed are planted, dust the top Of
the hill with a mixture made of equal
parts Of ashes and plaster, or Of plaster,
ashes and SCOT.
TREATMENT OF THE PLANTS. --When
the plants first come up, subject them
to the same treatment as is recommend
ed for pumpkins.
CUrURE.-W hen the danger from
insects Is over thin out the so as TO leave
but 3 in hill; OF weeds and grass, the
ground open to the influence Of sun air;
the which can be most econom callv
affected by the culivator and hoe, until
the vines cover the ground, when the
hoe alone must be relied upon. IL at
the first working, the hills We're cover
ed with leaves, pine skaters, or sea-
weeds, such covering would greatly tend
to promote the healthy condition OF
the vines, by maintaining moisture in
the hills.
If drough should occur, water the
vines every afternoon, or! second after
noon, Just before sun down. if you have
force and water convenient.

farmers Department.

PuMpkIHs.-Every farmer and plan
ter should have his acre, or morr, of
pumpkins, and the sooner they plant
them this month the better will be their
chance tor making a crop. Almost ev-
erv farmer knows how to cultivate this
excellent stock-vegetable; but as there
may be many new beginners among
our numerous readers, we will state how
we grew ours; but in stating our plan,
we do rot assume for it any superiority
over that of others, but mere y give it
for il is worth.
In the first place, we prepared rich
compost, composed of equal parts OF
stable or barn yard manure, and wood
mould. We then ploughed our land
deep. narrowed and rolled it, then run
shallow burrows 10 feet apart one way,
and similar ones, at the same distance
apart. across these. At the intersection
of each list, we spread shoveIlni Of the
compost, dug it in with the hoe, on
which we formed fiat hill, about 3
inches high. In each hill we planted
s or 6 pumpkin seed, 2 or 3 inches apart,
and covered them about | or . inChes
in depth. In planting the seed, we had
regard to regularity Of distance, say 3 or
4 inches apart.
Top.DREsslNG FOR THE HlLL.--When
the seed were planted, We strewed with
a free hand over the hills a compost
formed of three parts we'll rotrd dung,
4 parts rich mould, and part ashes,
and then busted plaster over that.
MANAGEMENT OF THE ElNEs.-W hen
the plants first come up, you must be
prepared 10 operate against the striped
bug, or all your labor, in preparing the
ground, may be lost, even in few days.
As pyeceatire, mix we'll together,
bushel OF ashes, bushrl of pl@st2r, l
peck Of SCOT. ID. OF scotch snuff, and l
III. -four Of Sulphur, and each morning,
carly, for, say three weeks, while the
aew is no the vines, dust them with
tins mixture. We will here remark,
that il is useless to begin this app!ca-
ton, unless Won follow it up each morn
ing, until from the indurated condition
of the plants, they are secured from the
attacks Of the bug; the omission of a
single day may prove fatal to your hopes
OF crop.
In addition to this, apiggin or noggin,
or some other vessel, with water IN it,
should be at hand, TO throw ;he insects,
INTO as they may be cau int; for, after all
there is no better security against their
ravages, than is to be found in catching
and drowning then.
CrLruE E.--At the first working. ,hin
out the plants so as to leave : or III Il
hill. The pumpkins must than be kept
clean until the runners cover the ground.
The cheapest plan Of cul.ivating them,
would be to use the cultivator and hoe,
until from the extension of the vines,
the former Implement cannot be used;
after that, the latter one must he relied
upon altogether. Three cu!uvatlons
will answer the CROP.
