Frederick Pierce, a young william who our
readers will probably remember, was put
under bonds at 5000 a few months since
for cruelty 10 a member of a boys militia
~ company of which he was cap,ain.-
&. i appears that aboat a year since Pierce
had school boy difficulty with a son of
Mr.. Snow Of Boston, who is now only
twelve and a half years old. On Monday
Pierce took a buggy and called at Mr..
Shows for bis son, and finding tina, he
had gone 10 Cambridge, went Oh, there
after him. In coming back TO Boston they
met a boy named Wagner, and the trio
went to a saloon. where Pierce furnished
refreshments for The party, and they soon
after proceeded 10 Dorchester. In passing
along a road on which there was bu, little
travel, the Pierce boy, with the aid of
Wagner, who is about IA years old, tied
Snow hand and foot, stuffed a ladkerchieG
into bis mouth TO prevent him from max
ing an QUERY, and laid him down in the
bottom Of The carriage, enveloped in a
blanket. As they passed Pierce's house
III Dorchester, the young william wen, in

a dirk knife, and with these articles again
entered the carriage and drove toward
Savin Hill, where they stopped, and Pierce
and Wagner conveyed Snow into "A lhickel

SWEET POTATOES.

Noticing in The Rural New Yorkeryour
inquiry o behalf Of a correspondent for
information relative TO the mode of grow
ing sweet potatoes, and having been en-
gagged for several years in their cultivation,
| send you the following directions, which
are al your service: t,r g'dai-a .Ido
Prepare a hoi-bed carly in The spring,
say the first of April, in which put your
seed, bedded in rich earth Of as warm a
nature as can be procured. Tie potatoes
may he laid close 10 each other, covering
The whole surface, and should be covered
10 the depth Of one or Two inces. When
Ihe sprouts are from 4 to @ inches long,
and as soon as lrosls are over, they shonll
be transplanled. Todo this, frs, prepare
Your ground, "a dry sandy loan is BEST
by manuring it well with eenpos, tho
roughly decompose, after which make
your hills, which should be about five feet
apart, by cross furrowing with a plow IN.
til you have raised Them as high as posi-
BILE, after which, dress them with a hoe.
When you commenced transplanting, which
should be done when the ground is very
moist, Immediately after or during a rain
is the Time break off the sprouts close to
The potatoes, SO as to get all The root and
plant them down in the hill, pressing the
earth firmly around them. Dress them
often keep the soil mellow ind free from
weeds. Should tie grub modest them
(which they are likely 10 do place small
boxes or stone tubes over them until the
plant is large enough 10 resist lis attacks,
Cultivate as long as possible with the
plow AID hoe, without disturbing thu
| vines.
To preserve the seed during the winieI
is the most difficult matter. The mode i:
to pack them in dry sand, cut straw, chat
or pine leaves, not allowing the potatoes
to touch each other, place them in a dry
sl'pation, and keep them al a uniform TEN
perature, as near he frrezing point as may
be without freezing. Examine Them coca
s~iOnaliy to see if they are rOlting-if so
they should be taken out and repacked

RAISING CHICKENS.

II is my opinion that hens sci in Febru.
airy have better success than those that are
SET later in The season, If their nests are
well made and sheltered from the wind.
The lice are not so destructive as later in
the season. But care should be taken in
case Of a deep STOW, that the hens can get
back 10 their nests, for the chickens are
afraid to venture in il. The yonng chick.
ems should have a warm place suitable FOR
them at night, or in cold or rainy weather;
bui in warm and pleasan, dayslhey should
be left out from 10 o'clock ill 3. They
should have a small piece OF ground dug
or plowed for Them every day ; fos in his
way they can get animal food and gravel,
which is very essential To their health
They should alec have free access to a
running stream Of water WREN ont in the
yard. A very good way Of preparing food
for them, when they cannot be left out. is
to have corn ground coarsely and mixed
with a little sweet milk, which is subsli.
tute for animal food. which cannot be dis.
pensed with any length of time. But while
left out, corumeal mixed with water an.
swersevery purpose. Some hens are very
savage to chickens that are not Their own,
and in places where there a good many
together, they kalsDd wound a good many,
and they will be fighting O~OnslaDJy. A
very good way TO remedy this Is 10 lay
different sorts of rubbish on the floor such
as pieces Of old rail fence, justhigh enough
for The young chickens TO run under, so
that when lbe old hens fly at Them 10 pick
them /, they can run underthe shelter made
in this way. and protec, themselves ; an.
Other convenience this affords them Is
when they are fed, The feed can DO thrown
under these places 90 that all the chickens
