How the Adams Express Thieves were
DeteCIcdl

.l -.- Detected
The Boston Journal has the follow
ing from a correspondent in New
York., ~ .... ~. ....
New England is still ahead. New
York has shrewd detectives, but can't
compete with New England BRAINS
All the money lost by Adams Express
has been recovered and the robbers
arrested. 1t was accomplished in this
wise: Mr.. Spooner. who is the head OF
the New England department of the
Express Company, was called out OF
his bed at Bridgeport on the night Of
the robbery, and the fact announced to
him. He took the whole charge of
forreting out the thieves, He believed
they would come back to New York
that night, He agreed on a signal
from the conductor by which every
man should be pointed out to him who
got on board between Bridgeport and
New York. % '" "c.if snius I'd
Mr., Spooner took a lantern and
went through the train us a conductor.
Two men were spotted and watched.
They jumped off forty second street
and were followed. After circuit Of
some thrce'or four miles, they brought
up at house on Tenth avenue. They
had nothing with them. To get the
money was quite as important as to
arrest the robbers. Convinced that
they would go and get the money and
return with it, thty were allowed to
depart, but a detective was put on
their track. AS was expected, they
returned with the money and were
nabbed. They were not lost sight Of
for moment from the time they first
got on board the train till they were
in the Station. house. A better piece
of detective work has not been seen in

The lightness Of our debt as eompar-
cd witht those Of other nations will be
yet infinitely more apparent by sub
hitting the test ofspace for that of
population. 1t must be borne in mind
that tho A merican continent is nearly
fourstimes as large as Europe, and ac-
tnally constitutes about three tentbs
of the dry land surface Of the globe.-
lei not too much to say that after a
few generations the United States will
contain d population of q hundred mil
lions, and the greater ratio Of the in-
crease of our population and of that of
our resources must be duly considered
if VIC would arrive ut proper csti
mate Of the proportion Of our public
debt to those Of the old countries. If
we were doomed, like the Europeans,
to be saddled for all eternity with an
enormous public debt, in consequence
of our maintaining q large standing
army, we should be able to bear this
burden with much greater elasticity,
considering the daily addition of the
labor OF European immigrants to the
nationalresources, and the constant
increase in times of peace Of the na-
tional wealth through the progress of
industry and invention. rzu3sr.
But there is no fear of the public
debts becoming chronic membranes
in the new world, as they arc in the
old, Our armies have boon rapidly
disbanded; our navy is being restored
TO a peace footing; and while at the end
ofthis century Europe will be more
groaning under the old load of indebt-
ment, America viii in all probability
be altogether relieved from public debts.
1t will then be seen that the power of
honorable labor in the midst OF free
.institutions'is not only magical in pro-
noting the educational und moral de-
velopment of the race, but also saw
ing Of future ages from the necessity Of
bearing forever the burdens entailed
by the expenditures oftheir prcdecos-

As this is peculiarly the season of
marriages." the following bit of argu-
ment about the better and more appro-
pirate place for tho interesting eerc-
mony to be had, We take from the New
York Evangelist, and we commend its
fine features to our young readers as
worthy their consideration. A CORES
pondent Of that paper says :,
1t is fit and best that marriages
should be solemnized in the Church.
for which l give five good and auffi-
cient reasons, viz:
/. The capaciety Of Church affords
room to admit the presence Of many
friends, so that many are gratifed, and
thus the tics of interest and friendli-
ness arc multiplied in the community.
2. frequently it becomes important
to prove the fact of marriage long after
memorials less enduring than youthful
memory have suffered Crasure.
g. No other surroundings can be so
impressive upon the minds OF the con-
traeting parties, and mako 40 real to
them the weighty covenant into which
they enter, as those that cluster at
God 8 public altar. lioR yhn tn-a.

snarn " frivolitiea = I.f.ffI i. 1-|f 20 .|
s. It establishes a fashion convenient
for families OF limited means, because
capable of adjustment to any amount
of expenditure. In difference to the

this suggestion if put forth interroga-
lively, rather than dOgmatically. uf-

Itis necessary to sow the seed in a
hot bed, or in some sheltered place, as
early as the spring will permit. If on
new soil, the bed should be prepared
by burning brush upon il; if on old soil.
by the admixture of well prepared
compost in addition. The seed beds
should be long and narrow, in order
that they may be easily kept free from
weeds. The soil is to be thoroughly
pulvcrizeda The seed, should be mixed
with dry plaster or ashes, and sowcd
broadcast "A table spoonful of seed
is sufficient for a square rod. ltshculd
not be covered but tho bed should be
rolled or pressed with board or with
the hoe, and should be kept moist
No seed should be used that is more
than two crops removed from the Span
ish or Cuba The utmost care should
be observed to prevent the growth of
weeds among tho young plants, whose
growth must be urged forward as rap
idly as possible. They should stand
in the soed-bed from half en- inch to
an inch apart. Great care must be ta-
kenrto guard them from the late frost
of spring. They are liable to be at
tackled in an early stage ftheir growth,
by small black fly, which Injuries, if
it does not destroy them On this ac-
count their growth should be stimula-
ted by the application of ashes, SCOT,
plaster, or guano, and they will soon
get beyond its ravagcs. They should
also be watered in dry weather from a
common sprinkler. In about two
months they will have attained hight
of three inches, and be large enough to
be transplanted. em ..l, .aotr. i..l y.
A sandy loan is the best soil for
growing tobacco if not new and strong,
it should be thoroughly manured the
fall previous by at least thirty loads Of
good stable or barn yard manure, and
ploughed; should have southern cx-
posure and should be ploughcd and
narrowed, and thoroughly. ,pulverized
in the spring ''.l.l .,-i
In one week after transplanting, pass
through the rows with the cultivator
and hoe the plants, and repeat the hoe
ing several times during the season.
No weeds must be allowed on the
field. The elplants must be constantly
watched, to protect them from the
ravagcs of the tobacco worm, This
worm preys upon the tobacco in
the months of July and August
The utmost vigilance is necessary,
TO prevent this worm from injuring
the plants, They ought to be
examined morning and evening, and
the worm and the eggs deposited by
the fly must be picked off and destroy
cd. The eggs will be found on the un-
der side of the leaf Turkeys will de-
your the worms. .greedily, and kill them
even after their appetite is satiated,-
The chief reliance, however, must be
upon seizing them with the thumb and
finger and destroying them. .,r9..
| In order to throw the energies Of the
plant into few large leaves, it is nee
cssary to cut off the. top at, the, time of
Towering, cutting off not only the flow
er but few of the top leaves which
cannot be fully developed, The mum
Der of,leayes to be cut off with the top
depends upon the forwardness and
strength Of the plant, some requiring
