Canteleups, etc.

Canteleups can be raised with all the GER
tainty Of the cucumber and the pumpkin
They require little more care in preparing
aud selecting the ground. y sandy loan is
always 20 be preferred; but any light, friable
soil, with southern exposure, free from pre-
vaiing moisture, will answer. The ground
should be converted into a fine tilth-the
hills should be dug out TO the depth Of eight
or ten inches, eighteen inches in diameter
which should be filed with one-third we'll
rotted short manure, one-third good sand
Should the soil not possess any and one
third rich earth, well mixed. The hills
should be from eight to twelve feet apart
each way, as room may allow, and the seed,
say FIVE to hill, should be planted over the
whole hill, an inch below the surface. When
the sprouts are two inches high give them Il
fair sprinkling Of wood ashes, while the dew
is on, or after watering them, and repeat
three or four times during the two following
weeks. This will drive away the Insects.
When they are six inches high remove all
but two or three vines, according to the
space between the rows, and carefully put
ronnd not TO, the vines, little guano. In
removing the weeds from the beds the vines
should not be disturbed, as the rootlets which
penetrate the earth from the vines and which
supply tne prihclpal nourlshulehI lo tue lrult
will be destroyed. Nothing more is needed
to yield an amount of this delicious melon
that will astonish the INITIATED, and of a
quality uaequaled by the best productions Of
Jersey.
Watermelons require exactly :he same
treatment, but the crop is not as certain as
the canteleup. STILL if light, fria6e, sandy
soil with a southeastern exposure, is selected,
and the Mountain Sweet variety is planted, a
fair crop may almost certainly be counted on.
We have raised twenty-one edible waternel-
ons from three hills. The Orange water
melon is very luscious, and We think requires
rather shorter season than others, and
produces abundantly.- Germantocn Iele-

How AMERICA WAS PEoPLED-Rev. DIR.
Hawks, q learned and eloquent scholar, has
rece tly been delivering series OF lectures,
intended TO show that this continent was
peopled by successive migrations from the
old world, at different eras and by different
races. First from the shores Of the Medter-
aneau, which was the the earliest seat ofcom-
mercial enterprise, and the people from which
have left their record upon the vast ruins OF
Yucatau; next from China aud japan, to
Mexico, Central and South America, and
next from Northern Asia, from which the
American tribes of Indians came. These
theories aresustained by remarkable analogies
between the languages prevailing in different
parts OF the Eastern continent with those to
be found on this continent.

neck, the tinkling of which, as bo approaches
the haunts Of his comrades, will frighten
them away. An expert rat-catcher, however,
familiar with the habits of his prey, will very
soon clear house of its obnoxious visitants.
In China, where the excess of porulation
has driven the Inhabitants to economise every
species Of food, rats are eaten and esteemed
great luxury; and cases are recorded in
which ships crews, when short of provisions,
have avenged themselves on the rats for
lessening the supplies, by cooking and eating
them in the form of baked pies. which, it is
said, have been deemed quite dainty by the
partakers.
One OF the most common modes Of ridding
premises of these unwelcome inmates, is that
Of administering arsenic to them. This,
however, is attended with very great danger,
for rats which have partaken of arsenic make
at once for the nearest water, and if there be
cistern in the house they are apt to poison
it. Our readers are aware that case of this
kind has recently occurred at Washington, in
which the lives Of President Buchanan aud
several of the most prominent politicians Of
the day, where placed in imminent hazard by
partaking of water from cistern the con-
tents Of which had been thus poisoned.

A New zelander at @ Ball.

The following amusing native sketch of an
actual ball appears in q recent number OF the
New Zeiander :--Whe it got dark, they be-
gan to muster. 1t was a room Of immense
length-so long, (pointing to a distance of
some 300 yards.) In this bnuch of candlo-
sticks there were n hundred candles, in the
next bunch another hundred, and so on, SO
that it was just the same as daylight. They
were crammed full; and there were 300 meu
and 100 women, every Jack Of them, were
girls. They then began jumping; they had
their playing things, the words Of which they
had no donbt, before arranged, and these
things seemed to regulate their movements.
There was good number Of old men there,
and these old fellows endeavored to make
themselves look as young as they could. One
of them would take hold Of girl, and carry
her of great distance, spinning her round,
while her friends looked on quietly. This
certainly much excited our astoniShmrnt.
But what surprised US most Of all was, that
there were no broken heads; they were con-
tinually bobbing to each other and rushing
to and fro N the greatest confusion. and yet
we could see no collision, and no blood
Then they cease and begin eating: then those
things would sound, and they would rush as il
they were mad, aud 90 Oh with the same jump
ings; then they would stop and then again go
to work eating; then again to their jumping,
and so on to daylight. "katahi he hangs

THE CRoPs IN THE WEST.-The unfayerable
report which have reached us from the South,
find an echo in the following general review,
from the st Louis Mt'lfgsncer, OF the grain
prospects of the West:
The prospects, at present, for even an ave-
rage crop OF those great staple products OF the
West. upon which all our prosperity depends
wheat, corn and oats-are anything but
cheering. They are rathet decidedly gloomy.
Throughout Missouri the wheat has been Sc
yerely injured by the long continued and Sc
we're frosts, while the backwardness of the
spring prevents that resusciatirg which warm
genial weather, might have produced. In
the latitudes farther south, where farming
commenced several weeks ago, the young
corn has been cut down, ard the cotton and
tobacco damaged by the irosts and freezes Of
the last week.
Old grain is getting scarce, from long feed
ing, which the backwardness OF pasturage
necessitated, and in some parts oTthe country
we learn that stock is in n starving condition
on account Of the inability Of farmers to get
corn at reasonable prices to feed il WITH
Large amounts ofcorn have during thepresent
spring, been shipped from st. Louis to the
Ohio river-itself corn region-and at the
present time the same grain is being shipped,
in small quantities, to Hannibal, for consump-
ton in that productive region
Our last exchanges from Missouri and the
neighboring States. speak despondingly Of
the prospects, and concur in the opinion that,
unless change for the better shall take
place speedily, the coming crop will be sorry
one.
