TOMATOES s-EGG PLANTs-REu PEPPERS.
Sow seeds of each Of these in pots or boxes,
place the boxes in warmly southern exposed
windows, to produce plants to he set out
when all danger from frost are over, for early
crops. II placed in pots, an oyster shell or
piece of broken crockcry sholld be put over
the hole in the bottom to ensure DRAWINGS.
rs stagnant moisture IS apt to inure, if not
destroy the roots Of the plant. If box be
used, bore hole in the bottom about one
inch or three.quarers of an inch in diameter
and covered as recommended for the potts.
The Garth used TO fill the pots or boxes, to
produce the Giants, should be rich mould
'ertllized with organic manure of some kind
so as to secure an early and vigorous growth
of plants. The fertilization Of the soil NAV be
effected by dissolvng half an ounce Of guano
in water to each large sized pot, or box, if
the latter does not contain more than 200
square inches. The solution 10 be poured
over the suriace-or the same effect may be
produced by making dccoctlon Of ! parts
fresh horse dung and one part SCOT, and
watering three or four times with it.
PLANTING EARLY PorAroEs As soon as
the weather is open and the frost is entirely
out Of thcground, is the time to prepare YOUR
crop. Select the drirSt and best exposed
bed in your garden-a light and sandy mould
| if possible. Manure ii broadcast, with about
half The manure you intend TO apply, dig
that III to The depth Of the spade, rake finely;
then lay off rows + inches deep, feet apart,
then strcw the residue of the manure along
the rows, and cover. Then give the bed a
broadcast dressing of Il mixture composed of
parts ashes | part plaster, and part salt;
taking care to give the drills Il full dusling.
The vines, when they first come up, should
receive another busting. as also at each
working, and once week after being laid
by, until the vines 90 out of bloom. As to
the working of potatoes, it is sufficient to say
that they must be kept clean of weeds and
grass and the earth open from the time that
the plants are 3 OF 5 inchcs>high till laid by
The busting Of the prescribed mixture must
be done cauy III the morning, while the vines
are wet, so that portions Of the mixture may
adhere to them
With regard to the sets, they should be
cut as to have two eyes each. As each set is
cut it should have the wound part rubbed in
plaster or ashes, and put away in a cool dry
place, where they could not be subject to
freezing. lfcut two Or three days before
being planted, SO much the better.
RuuBARB, OR PIE PLANr.-As carly this
month rs the ground can be put in first rate
order, prepare spot by manuring literally
digging spade deep and rake finely; then set
few dozen plants of this excellent vcgcta-
ble production. 1t is excellent for pies, and
is said to be as healthful as it is palatahe.

EARLY POTAToEs.-As soon as the frost is
out of the ground and it can be ploughed and
putin frstrate order, is the time to put in car
ly potatoes. The land must he poughcd har-
rowcd and rolled until fine tith be obtained
Cut the sets a week before planting, dry the
setts with plaster and place them in cool
place.
Run furrows six inches deep, put in four in
ches of long manure, place your potato sets
therein ten inches apart, previously have pre-
pared mixture comprised offour parts slack
cd lime and one part salt; give the sett dus-
ting with this mixture, and cover two inches
deep. When the potato plants come, dust
them with this mixture. When big enough
to work, dust them again with the mixture,
ard repeat the ustiug at every working and
at intervals of 4 week until the vines are out
OF bloom. This dusting must be done early
in the morning when the vines are wet.

WMr. Shritze, the subject of the

At a meeting held this evening, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God
in his unSeaIchable wisdom, to remove. BY
death, from our midst, our beloved brother,
J. q. ScHRITzE.
Resolved, That we deeply lament the he.
reavcmcnt and loss which We have sustained,
in being deprived of his fellowship and co.
operation in our fraternal organization.
Resolrsd, That we deeply and sincerely
sympathisc with the mother and family of
our deceased brother, in their social and
domestic Affections.
RESOLVED, That the members of this Diyi.
sion wear some appropriate badge Of mourn
ing, for four successive weeks in their weekly
meetings.

Books AND Book SToREs.-Our
business naturally throws us somewhat
among books, and besides that we have a
dispos nion to examine books and book stores
whenever the opportunity offers. Among
the book stores we have lately looked into is
1I.ald's, in Wilmington, in which we were
surprised 10 find even greater assortment
of books than in the larger stores in the cities.
In the cities you may find greater va
riety of law books in one store. of medical
works in another; of theological works in
another, &C.. but at IIcald's you find all
sorts of books, from the popular works of
the day up to the classics and down to every
variety of school book. The most Of pur-
chasers would be more apt to be suited at
Heald's than at any store we at present think
Of, and at as cheap prices as the same books
can be had anywhere. lie also keeps large
variety of stationery and fancy articles.

To MAKE A BALKY HORSE DRAw.-The
London Times give remedy which proved
successful. After all sorts of means had
been tried and failed it was suggested that a
simple remedy used in India should be tried
that is, to get small rope and attach it
to one of the fore feet of the stubborn animal
the person holding the end of the rope to ad-
vance few PAGES, taking with him the
horses foot, when as matter of course the
horse must follow. The suggestion was at
first ridcued but at last rope was brought
and applied as described. when the horse i'm :
mediately advanced, and in few minutes
was out Of sight, much to the amazcmcnt of
the crowd. The experiment is simple and
worth trial

How TO PRESERVE IIEALrr. Medicine will
never remedy bad habits. ltis utterly futile
to think OF living in gluttony, intemperance,
and every excess, and keeping the body in
health by medicine. Indulgence of the ap-
petite. and indscriminute dosing and drug
gng, have ruined the health and destroyed the
life of more persons than famine. sword, and
pestilence. If You will take advice, become
regular in your hadlts, eat and drink whole
some things, sleep on mattresses, and retire
and rise very regularly Make free use of
water to purify the skin, and when sick take
counsel of the best physician you know, and
follow nature.

COSTLY BlBLE.-At recent sale of books
in England of the library of deceased gen.
tlcman named John Atkinson. Boston, a
Bible was sold. which cost originally, with
the oak cabinet containing it, the sum Of
four thousand guineas. 1t was sold under
the hammer for five hundred and fifty pounds
sterling. 1t consisted of forty five volumes,
elegantly bound, and illustrated by at least
six thousand cngravings, executed by about
six hundred of the most celebrated cngravers
and from the works of eminent artists from
the year 1850 to the time Of its completion.
Mr.. Bowycr, publisher commenced the
work of getting up this edition Of the Bible,
in London, in the year 1900, and spent more
than twenty four years at it.

CRAFTS AND GRAFT WAx.-In selecting
gratis, take the twigs from those branches
which have borne fruit the previous season;
or, if buds are wanted, take from those which
have fruit upon them. for, by thus doing.
fruit may be obtained, usually. in two sea.
sons. Craft wax may be made as follows
One pound of tallow, two pounds of becswax,
four pound of rosn, all pure and clean arti-
cles; put the whole into an iron pot. and heat
them until they come to foam: then turn
the heated wax into tub of water; then with
creased hands work thoroughly, as shoe
makers wax is worked.

SINGULAR DISAPPEARANCE OF A CMID-
Gov. Wise publishes. letter in the Richmond
Enquirer, stating that Mr.. Barns of Norfolk,
placed his child a boy two years old, in
charge of the Richmond'r Committee of Nor
folk and Portsmouth Orphans, on the l4th
Of September, 1855. The Committee placed
the child, with twenty seven others, under
the care of "a Mr.. Bagby Strange to say,
this child is now lost. and the father has, SO
far, searched for it in vain. The Governor
recommends that all who have taken any of
these children publish descriptions ofthem in
the papers, that the father may thereby as.
certain the whereabouts of his child.

LETTER FROM A Son OF HENRY CLAy.-

LETTER FROM Son OF HENRY CLAY
Thomas Ii. Clay, Esq, who was delegate
to the American National Convention has
addressed letter to the Councils of the
Eighth Congressional District of kentucky,
giving them an account Of the proceedings of
the Convention. As our readers are already
acquainted with all that transpired in the
Convention, We omit the greater part of Mr..
Clay's letter, copying only the closing para
graphs in which he speaks of the candidates,
and expresses his opinion as to the course his
illustrious father would pursue in the present
crisis, if he were now living:
MI. Elllmorc's best culogy is to be found
in the successful and prosperous adminstra-
ton Of the General Government in the two
and a half years Immediately succeeding the
death Of Gen. Taylor. That administration
had my fathers unqualified approval.
| have frequently been asked what, in my
opinion would have been my fathers course.
IN regard to the American party, had he
lived! | answer unhesitalingly, he was
national and conservative. and | have no
more doubt but that he would have stood on
this platform, than have Of my own exis-
tcncc.
One word as to our candidate for the Vice
Presidency. | have known him for more
than thirty years, and believe him to be an
honorable, patriotic gentleman.
1t was our wish in obedience to our in
structions, TO have postponed the nomination
until June; but majority of the Convcn-
ton were averse to such postponem,nt.
Brothers Of the American Party, is there
nlan among you who is not satisfied with the
domination Of Fillmore and Donelson! The
national and conservation men throughout
the Union will be with us. We have now
standard bearers worthy of our cause. Our
banner floats high and proudly in the breeze
and by the and Of the God of our fathers, we
must and will succeed.
With great respect,
am, your ob't scrv't,
THOMAS Ii. CLAY.

PROSPECTS, OF NEXT HARVEST. The Alton
(lll.) Courier, of the 7th instant, expresses
its opinion that we may expect very fine
crops of wheat, and the opinion is based upon
the following reason:
The early winter was very mild, so much
so that the late sown wheat, of which there
is much. continued to grow to much later
date that usual. Then the snow will have
protected it from injury by the frost. Last
ly, such uninterrupted cold weather for so
long period, and until SO late date. augurs
an uninterrupted spring-tine when it comes.
1t is further said that the number of acres
put under wheat in that part Of the country
last fall was greater than ever before known. y"
The Chicago Journal says I'VE must
have large crops next fall. The snow which
has fallen during the past sixty days is equal
to five inches of manure. People capable of
estimating matters, imagine that the wheat
crop of 1856 will be the largest ever harvest
cd in this country. To estimate the value Of
snow upon the ground at tcn millions Of dol
laIs would be u low figure"

We publish the following letter from Cen.

then expressed of the American candidate for
the Vice Presidency:
CoNcoRD, May, 80, 1851.
My dear sir: rejoice that the leading or
gan of our party is now under your control,
and regard the change as most auspicious at
this jnncture. There is great battle before
us--a battle for the Unlon--a Jattle for the
ascendency Of the principles, the maintenance
of which 50 nobly signalized the admnistra-
ton of Gcnl. jackson. The tone, rigor and
sta'esmmn-hke grasp winch you have brought
to the columns of the Union are not merely
important-thcy are absolutely indispensable
in this crisis.
With respect, your friend and servant,

A GREAT CoUNTnY.--To give the English
some idea of the extent of our dcmain, which
they have recently talked so much about an
Initiating, at single blow. we would state
(Saysa New York papcr) that the distance
between the cities of New York and New Or
leans is more than equal to that separating
London from Constantinoplc, or Paris from
st. Petersburg. By the land rout between,
New York and Astoria, the distance is equal
to that between New York and Bremen. By
the water rout the distance is as great as that
between Canton and London
