Long experience has shown that the
practice of frequent stirring of the soil
among hoed crops, has rendered to coun-
teract the retalding influence of drouth
Iu the first place, the operation increases
the growth of the plants, and sends theil
roots deeper into moist soil below. In
some experiments, cultivating the corn
crop. once week or ofteneG, he added
twenty bushels per acre to the product.
More commonly the gain, although de-
cIded, has not been quite so great, the
results varying with the fertility of the
soil, and with the wetness of the season.
Examination OF the soil some inches be-
low the surface in dry time, shows much
more moisture under a mellow surface
than at the same depth in hard baked
soil. it is probable that in some IN
stances the finely pulverized earth would
dry less rapidly if pressed or rolled than
If left quite loose and porous. But hard
ened by baking, after being soaked with
water, the reverse would be unquestiona-
bly, true.
In many parts of the country, crops
are now suffering frem drouth, and the
course of treatment here indicated would
tenG IN lessen its injurious effects. Fol
corn it is generally admitted; but for po.
tatoes it Is less understood. 1t IS true
that the potato crop has been seriously
injured by hoeing, when the earth was
hot and dry, the soil being heaped about
tue plants. Killing potatoes is always
more or less hurtful, as different expe ri
ments have shown.
We have never found an instanc,
where potatoes, after being planted fou
or five inches deep, in a good bed o
mellow earth, did not give heavie
Weld when cultivated fiat, than whel
side by side the earth was thrown vi
against them. Farmers who tear the Ell
focts of drouth, may lessen them b
keeping q mellow surface by the frequen
passage of the cultivator, and by keepln

satisfied on this point by treating alter
nate strips of land in both ways, an
measuring the crops.-Oountry Cent?

IDENTIFIED.

1t was shown that ON the morning OF
August 18th, a person answering his de-
scriptlon though evidently disguised. had
come down to Norwich by the London
coach. A blacksmith, whose forge was
about half mile from DIR. HunstOn's res
idence, saw young man pass his place
about nine O. clock that evening. On the
blacksmith and toe driver of Norwhich
coast comparing notes, no doubt was left
that the man who came down from Lon
don and the man seen by the blacksmith
were identical. Then there was the
wounded hand. When it came to be a
question of Importance, Hunston refused
to say how he injured his hand. 1t was
clear however, that on opening the sash
from which he had probably removed the
catch a month before when mediating the
crime-he placed his right hand on the
sill. The sash fell, and hence injured the
hand. In spite of his frightful wound,
however, he went on with the bloody
work. No doubt he tied up the hand
and then worked with the left. This

prnscs OF this state are very large and are
the great cause Of the burdrnsome taxation
10 which our inhabitants are subjected. The
court is informed that one OF the reasons of
this is that justices Of the peace, sheritfs and
other officers du not pay over TO the
county clerks the fines and costs collected by
them which belong 10 the State, but on the
other hand convert the same To their own
