THINNING ont Plants,

- In sowing garden beds Of vegetables
and flowers, the operator is apt to scat
ter the seeds too profusely. The young
plants, consequently, come up in crowd
ed masses, and unless sessonably thin
ned out make an impression on each
other for evil that will require Aime to
correct and cure. Plants as well as
human beings, that begin life wrong,
are not likely to do so well at last as
those which start with a full scope for
their latent powers. Because young
plants-such as beets, parsnips, carrots
etc, are small for some time after they
come up, we are apt to thin them out
sparinglyi the consequence is we never
have so large aud perfect vegetables as
when they have had, from early;life,
all the room allowed them which they
viii require at full grewth. Don't be
afraid With hand or hoe to Pullup the
dear little plants till only as many are
left as will cover the ground when ma
tureJ. 1t may be well indeed, in. the
case of beets aud some other plants
which the cut worm seizes, t0leaye at
the first wedding double the number
that are finally to stand, thus providing
for a reasonable loss by worms. But
more vegetables and flowers are Injured
for the want Of room, than from an -ex-
cess of it Carrots may be left TO stand
within six inches of each other in the
row, the drills being afoot apart. Pars-
nips want rather more room, as the tops
are larger. Beets ought to have IS
much room as carrots. But maBgold
or cattle beets as they are called, should
be a foot apart one way, and two feet
the other. Then If the ground is rich
they will obtain large and profitable
size. -, 'la >

Our pubIio Schools.

At the request of friends ct eur Free
school System, we publish communi-
cation from J. Ii. MCMECHEN, Esq, a
leading educator, well known to our
citizens. We confess to have learned
to day, for the first time, that there ex-
ists in this city, an organized and active
opposition to the system of Free Schools
which has been adopted by our people.
We indge, however, that this organi-
Lation is not formidable, except in i'm
sgina,ion. The objections, which ap-
ply to this system in the thinly-popula-
ted aud impoverished portions of the
the State, do not apply with equal
force, if at all, in the large towns and
cities. While the law, and its admins
trstion perhaps, may be the subject OF
inst criticism and probably Of some i'm
proyement, we do not believe that any
respectable number of our intelligent
people would care to see the system
abolished.
