Cultivation Of onions.

The main crop, il not already dowD.
shOuld be SIS soones possible, and as it is a
crop Of some importance, we offer a few
wOrdsPf advice. The ground having been
PlOwedeot trenehed during the autumn or
winter, is allowed to remain in that state
until IN good condition to work. when it
is leveled down and marked out into beds
three aud "a half or four feet wide. Before
the seed is sown, the beds are raised some
what above the ordinary level by the soil
from the eighteen inch spaces. and when
the surface has become perfectly dry, the
seed is sown and the beds rolled or trodden
down until they appear as hard as a gravel
walk. A thin coating ofsoilis then strewn
eEenly over the whole, and the roller passed
over the beds. The beds being marrow,
enables the operator to weed, hoe and clean
with facility without injury to the plants.
The advantages Of the above method of rails
ing onions are the plants having greater
depth of soil1than usual, they grow with
greater sturdness than those highly man
uTed upon low ground, while the elevation
Of the beds enables the sun to penetrate q
considerable depth into the earth, thereby
slightly checking late growth, and ofcOurse
inducing early maturity.

Thrice hath the lone owl booted,
And thrice the panther cried,

They wreak it everywhere.

senting, they do thank and coumend
him for his political silence and noble
bearing as a just and upright Judge.
And the Graud Jury do unanimously
and respectfully ask of your Honor,
that, as a part of the history of the
times, and that posterity and the judges
may know what this Grand Jury think
of political judges, this paper writing
be spread in full upon the minutes of
the court.
This remarkable paper is signed by
the Foreman and the other members of
the Grand Jury. Itisa fair explanation
of the workings of reconstruction. 1t
comes from body of men who know
the temper and purposes of those among
whom they live. Their selection for
their position implies their truthful
ness and respectability. They simply
proclaim te the world and the future,
that reconstruction is making of their
society a mere anarchy where pas
sion and lawlcsness predominate.
The worst elements are placed in au-
thority; the meanest pretexts are used
TO justify the vilest acts; partisan
aims control the whole of legislation
and give character to the government;
law is mockery, justice myth, con-
fusion reigns, and peace is impossible.
Such are the ways of "loyalty."
