IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. We are informed
by Mr.. Chamberlain, of the City Mill, that
the farmers of Vermont, are in the habit OF

very simple process. The next season after
it makes its appearance, they 60 through their

dew is on it, and scatter newly Stacked lime,
broad cast, so that it will adhere to the heads

bushel to the acre. Good lime should be Sc
cured, and Stacked by sprinkling little water
over it, so as to retain all its strength. a
paddle may be used in scattering it. The
remedy has, tits sail, been so etfectual|y tried,
as to leave no doubt of the result. Strips in

for experiment, have been entirely destroyed
by the weevil, while the grain on the other side
was saved

WHERE AND WHAT is HE'LL.

The above question: formed the text of
rather remarkable discourse, recently delivered
at Manhattanville, N. Y, by Rev. Mr.. Wal.
worth, Catholic Priest, and the son of the
former Chancellor of the State of New York.
We find sketch of his remarks, in the New
York Evening Post He is described by the
Post, as man of intelligence and great
eloquence -
Assuming that there was hell for the
punishment of the wicked, he enquired where
it was, and what was the nature of the punish
ment. He said there had been many suppo.
sitions as to its locality, some placing it in
the liked stars, others at an inconceivabe dis
lance; but the Scriptures ihvaryably speak of
it as beneath us. He quoted many texts of
scripture in support Of this statement. and
concluded that Hell must necessarily be in
the centre of the earth, as in no other wav.
could our conceptions Of its position beneath
us, as defined in the Scriptures be odeonatelv
realized; our ideas Of what is above m;ob,
be intimate as space itself, but there could bs

ANEcDorE OF RorHscHILD.-The End OF
March, about 8 o'clock, a lady, we'll known in
the fashionable world, met the Baron on the
Boulevard des Hahens. By this title only

nearly throuought Paris, the king of fnan-
ciers and the fnancier Of kings M. James de

"Well, Monsieur Baron, can you tell me
how to gain 100000 francs, to buy country
seat, to fly from the invasion of Paris by
strangers at the approaching exhibition!'

Emperor Nicholas"
NJ Rothschid smiled as he said it. The
lady believed he was jesting and returned
home. That evening she learned, with de-
spair, that she had been offered a country-seat,
and that smile had prevented her accepting
it, She would have torn her hair, if it had
mot been so beautiful.

RAISING AND PRESERVING TOMATOES

AShhoANS AMI IOMATOESs
To many persons there is something un.
pleasant, if not to say disgusting in the flavor
Of this excellent fruit. 1t has, however, long
been used for culinary purposes in various
countries Of Europe, and has of late been ex-
tensively cultivated, and become general IA
voritc in this country. DR.. Bennett, pro.
fessor of some celebriety, considers it an
invaluable article Of diet, and ascribes to it
very important medical proprietes. He de-
clares -
l. That the Tomato is one of the most
powerful deobstruents of the Materiu Nrdi.
ca, and that in all those affections of the liver
and other organs where calomel is indicated,
it is probably the most effective and least
harmful remedial agent known in the profes.
sion. ...
2. That chemical extract will be obtained
from it which will altogether supersede the
use of calomel in the cure of diseases.
3. That he has successfully treated diar-
rhGa, wish this article alone.
4. That when used as an article Of diet, it
is almost sovereign remedy tor dyspepsia
and Indigestion. tst
5. That persons arriving from the east or
north to the south or west, should by all
means make use of it as an aliment, as it
would, in that event, save them the danger
attendant upon those violent bilious attacks
to which almost all unacclmated persons are
LIABLE ---- '-----
6. That the citizens in ordinary should
make use of it, either raw, cooked, or in the
form Of a catsup, with their daily food, as it
is the most healthy article in the mdtcria
aliment0ria.
In connection we give the following from
the Maine Farmer aud Rochester, Union -
although the tomato is becomming pretty
generally cultivated and used as an article of
food, there are many who do not yet know
their value. We consider them very valuable
as an article of diet, not only nutritive, but
corrective of many of the diseases Of the
digestive organs. They stimulate the liver to
action when it becomes torpid, and excite the
stomach also to a healthy and energic action.
1t can be raised as easily as weeds. We
Recommend planting the seed late in the fall,
In hills which have been well MANFRED. They
will thus come up early in the spring, and by
cultivating the soil around them, thinning
them out and placing sticks around them to
lean upon, they will put forth fruit immensely.
