place, he keeps harcm, supplied with hand
some Indian girls. In the next place, he muir
deIed Mr.. Andrew Wilson in cold blood and
was sworn into Office when warrant was in the
hands Of public officer for his arrest, the grand
jury having found an indictment against him for
murder in the first degree, The correspondent

says Chinese Sugar Cane should be planted in
the Spring, fully as soon if not earlier than we
commence to plant corn, in hills or drills, if in
hills (Which think prelcrnble,) they should be
sown -four feet apart. 1t will thrive much bet
ter if planted on rich soil, the ground facing the
east, as that will cause it to ripen much earlier
1t should be well powed and kept free from
weeds and suckers. In the fall as soon as the
first good frost has come, blade it, and cut of
the top OF the stalk some twelve or eighteen
inches from the seed as that part of it contain,
little or no juice, The blading and TOPPING car
be done best while the stalks are vet standing
After the stalks have been run through the mill

observe that the lody is, for purposes best known
to herself, holding her dress several inches from
the ground, and as she does so, displays a foot
and something more of pair of slender, shape
less legs that contrast most oddly and unpic
turesquely with tho surrounding extent OF
