The layer should 'e‘i'used when two years old, at which tiine,'ifwell managed, it will be nine inches high. It is ‘customy. to pull it up with the hands, guarded by stout-leathermgloves, and to shorten the roots by remo- ving all the tap-root up to the bunch of fibres which gprings from the mount. Inrthis state it is fit for plant- in . ,‘ 7 iglldany personifipreler to use transplanted quick in hedge-making; but we doubt whether anything is really lined by doing so; and for large operations the latter a [on expensive. If; however, it is wished to prepare ick?or..such a purpose, it is only necessary to plant the fin, root-pruned as above-described, in rows :1 foot

up and’io lift it partially every year, by introducing t e on, myrtle, until the plants are as large as is re or. imust be lifted annually” or they will

for _ rse f5: gltliout fibres, and it will become dilli- cirlt-t'tjitransplafitL them with any certainty. ~ fiavvrfi‘ian thg quick is ready for making a hedge, it is either p‘ ntfil on thelevel ground (in which case it must be‘ uarded by hurdles), or upon the top ofa bank. The latter is it bad plan, because in the summer the flank becomes very dry, and the young quick, being de- prived of the moisture required for its nourishment, be- comes stunted and stops growing. It is far better to plant won the level ofthe ground. But the necessity of ditching estates, and the convenience of banks as se- parations of fields, will probably always cause the pre- ference to be given to planting uppn them. In this case the quick should be placed on the, top, and on no account at the sides, as it is commonly practised in some ofour counties.

The best way ofplanting it is to put in a layer 12 inches aparfi in double rows, a foot asunder, taking care that. t'he‘plants in one row alternate with those in the other. They should not be cutback when planted, but left “dull length.

The second year after planting, one row should be cut down to within five or six inches Of the ground, and the 'other row left untouched. The next year the latter should be cut down in like manner. After this the hedge will require no other care than to cut back the leltding shoots every year whenever they are becoming too strong, so as to keep the mass a compact thicket of

entangled ranches. , Y These I in our opinion, the essentidl points to ob- ..Jserve. ln dition, it should be borne in mind that the

Whitetliorn is greedy of manure, and that the bettervtlié’ soil the sooner a fence will be made. The plantsflrf course, should be kept quite clean by frequent lioeiil’g and loosening the surface soil. V We know that many persons will prefer layers more than two years old. We doubt, however, whether the advantage ofemploying large qiiicks is equal to the great additional expense; at least there is no doubt that if the Whitbthorn is not allowed to become dry, but is root- runed and plante in the autumn, immediately after

. Carissa MADE anon POTATOES.-—Clieese, it is said, of an extremely fine quality, is manufactured from potatoes in Thuringia and part of Saxony, in the following man- ner :—After having collected a quantity of potatoes of a good quality, giving the preference to the large white kind, they are boiled in a cauldron, and, becoming cool, they are peeled and reduced to a pulp, either by means To 5 lb. of this pulp, .which ought to be as equal as possible, is added 1 lb. ofsour milk and the necessary quantity of salt. The whole is kneailed together and the mixture covered up and allow- ed to. remain for three or four days, according to the season. At the end ofihis time it is kneaded again, and the cheese placed invlittle baskets, where the super- fluous moisture is allowed to escape. They are then allowed to dry in the shade, and placed in layers in large pots or vessels, where theyVmust remain for 15 days.

‘if‘fl‘he older these cheeses are the more their quality im-

proves. Two kinds of'lhem are made. The first, which is the most common; is made according to the propor- tions above indicated; the second, with four parts of po- tatoes and four parts ofewe or cow milk. These cheeses have this advantage orér every other kind, that they do " ot engender worms, and keep fresh for a great number .fyears, provided they are placed in a dry situation, and a well closed vessels.—Doncaster Chronicle. SAW-DUST as Manned—«We formerly stated that

Mr. Simon Drummond, and other farniers,. were in the

habit of using saw-dust, mixed with dung, as manure.

Mr. Home Drummond, M. ,P.. in a short communication

1014“ Highland Society, states that he has been in the habit ofusing saw-dust in agriculture for a number of years, butwuh’out dung. “I have,” he says, “ kept it incurs-posts for about three years, which time has ap- peered to me necessary for its decomposnion. This pro. cess is greatly facilitated by mixmg the saw-dust with lime, in proportions of about one-tenth part of lime, and the compost is much improved by the addition of road- scrapings, or earth of any sort that can be procureu. The saw-dust heap is a convenient place of depostt for , d animals, which are thus disposed of to great ad‘ ‘mfiantage. A compost of this kind, which has been well mixed and decomposed, and turned over by the spade at proper times, will produce an excellent crop of turnips. -—Irwcrness Courier. '

To.“ CaiNGLc’s Loon—The author of the Log, as we learn from a short preface ofthe new editinnhwas a Mr. Michael Scott, who was born at Edinburgh in the year 1780, and who received his education at the High School of that town. It appears that several years of his life were spent in the West Indies; that he ultimately mar- ried, returned home, and embarked in comfitcial spe- culations in his native country. It was during the lei~ sure that such occupations afforded that the Log itself was composed; but notwithstanding the popularity of the papers, “and the interest and curiosity which they excited, not only in Scotland, but in Europe and Ame- rica, Mr. Scott preserved his incognito to the last. He survived his publisher for some years, and it was not till the death of the author that the sons of Mr. Blackwood were aware ofthe name of one who had so long and successfully contributed to their 'able and entertaining miscellany. ’

THE QUEEN’S FAVOURITE Sonia—The royal bill of fare constantly includes this excellent potage, the recipe for whichIobtained by special favour. subjoin the necessary proportions for a party of a dozen persons. Skin and entirely clean out the insides of three fat fowls, or chickens, according tO the season; let them be well washed in warm water; put them into a stew pan for an hour, covered with strong veal broth, and add a good-sized bunch of parsley. Take out the fowls, and soak the crumb of two French rolls in the liquor;

yolks of four hard-boiled eggs. \ Force this through a coarse sieve, and put it into aquart of cream that has been previously boiled; re-warm for table. Observations. ——If you desire to have a small tureen of this royal pre- paration upon an economical plan, parboil a couple of fowls, use the wings and breast for a fricassee, and make your soup of the legs, necks, and backs, taking care that your cansommé of veal is sufficiently strong to make amends for the absence of fowl, and following the previous directions ', allliwother respects.-—~.»itlas.

Tun Rrssmx fiance—The Russians themselves allow that their clergy are deplorably ignorant; and, in many cases, coarse and vicious. This is pretty well borne out by the fact that they are never admitted into society, unless their presence is required at some re- ligious ceremony or festival. The anecdote related to Mr. Venables, by a Russian gentleman, will give a good idea of the state of degradation to, which they reduce themselves. " Passing one day,” says that gentleman, ‘-‘ near a large group of peasants, who were assembled in the middle of a village, I asked them what was going forward. ‘ We are only pnttingtlie father (as they cal- led the priest) into a cellar.’ ‘In a cellar !’ I replied; ‘ what are you doing that for ’l’ ‘ Oh,’ said they, ‘ he is, a sad drunkard, and has been in a state ofintoxication all the week; so we always take care every Saturday nightto put him in :1 Sift place, that he may be able to ofiiciate at the church next day, and on Monday he is at liberty to begin drinking again.’ I could not help applauding," says Mr. V2, “this very sensible arrange-- inent, which was related to me with all the gravity in the world.” Such conduct, in the eyes of a Russian gentleman, is only a failingl—Notcs of a Half—Pay in search of IIeall/i. .

STRANGENESS on Dsa'rii.——Angels have no death to undergo: there is no such fear of-unnatural violence be- tween them and their final destiny. It is for man, and for aught that appears, it is for man alone, to watch, from the other sidewol the material panorama that sur- rounds him‘i the great and amazing realities with which he has everlastingly to do—it is for him, so locked in an imprisonment of clay, and with no other loop holes of communication between himself and all that surround him, than the eye and the ear—it is fpr him to light up in his bosom a lively and a realizing‘iense of the things that eye hath never seen, and ear hath never heard. It is for man, and perhaps for man alone, to travel in thought over the ruins of a mightygfjdesolation, and be- yond the wreck of thatafilresent world by which he is encompassed, to conceive that future world on which he is to expatiate for ever. But, a harder achievement, per. haps, than any—it is for man, in the exercise of faith to observe that most appalling of all contemplations ’tlie’ decay and the dissolution of himself; to thinkoof the time when his now animated frame-work, eyery part of which is so senSitive and dear to him, shall fall to pieces —when the vital warmth by which it is so thoroughly pervaded shall take its departure, and leave to coldness and abandonment all that is visible of this moving and acting,'and thinking creature—when those limbs, ,with which he new steps so firmly, and that countenance out of which he looks so gracefully', and that tofln‘lle, with which he now’ speaks so eloquently; when Kihai whole body, for the interest and provision of which he: now labours so strenuously, as if indeed it were imf mortal—when all these shall be reduced to a mass of

DECLIVITY or RIVERS.——A very slight declivity Will suffice to give the running motion to water. Three inches per mile in a smooth straight channel, gives ca velocity‘ of about three miles an hour. _ The Ganges, which gathers the waters ofthe-Himalaya mountains, the loftiest in the world, is, at eighteen hundred miles from its month, only eight hundred above the, level of the sea ; that is, about twice as high as'St. Paul 5 church steeple, in London; and to fall these eight hundred feet in its long course.the water requires more than a month. The great river Magdalena, in South Aineqica, running for a thousand miles between two ridges of the Andes, falls only five hundred feet in all that distance—Above the commencement ofthe llllll) miles ,it is seen descend- ing in rapids and cataracts from the mountains. The gigantic Rio de la Plata has so geiitle’a descent to the ocean, that in Paraguay, fifteen hundred miles from its mouth, large ships are seen which have sailed against the current all the way,by the force of theywmd alone ; that is to say, which, on the beautiful inclined plane of the stream, have been gradually lifted by the soft Wind, and even against the current, to an elevation greater than that of our loftiest'spire.

The most plain and natural sentiments of equity conr ctir with divine authority, to enforce the duty offorgive- ness. Let him who has never in his life done wrong, he allowed the privilege of remaining inexorable. But let such as are conscious o'ffrailties and crimes, conSider forgiveness as a debt which they owe to others.

SAVAGE AND MORTAL Cowman—On Wednesday last, oneipf the most savage combats took place, near Lewis— burg, in Conway county, between two citizens of that coQty, that we have ever heard of—even in Arkansas, famed as she is for such brutal scenes. The parties were Dr. Nimrod llIcncfee and Ill/2 Nelson Phillips, near neighbors, andguntil recently, very intimate friends. Having had a serious quarrel some days previous, and mutual threats exchanged, they came together in the woods, without any witness of the combat, except a Ne: gro boy, who accidently happened to be passing along the road, Phillips, it seems, discharged his pistol first, and missed his antagonist. Menefee then fired and shot Phillips in the back. The latter then drew his knife and attacked Mr. M. with it, and, at. ‘the first thrust, gave him a frightful cut in the abdomen, which.

let out his entrails. Menefee having no weapon except five dollars we], I I Now . . ,

his empty pistol, and being inferior in size to Phillips, defended himself in the best way he could, by warding off the blows ofhis antagonist, with his pistol. The first knife used by Phillips —broke Ofi' at the handle, when he drew another and renewed the combat. In this way they fought (the boy thinks) for near halfan hour, some- ' es on their feet and sometimes on the ground, until “uh became so completely exhausted by fatigue’ and loss of blood, that they were compelled to desist for want of strength to continue the contest. 0n assistance eo- ming up, the parties were stretched on the ground, wel- tering in their blood, and both supposed to be mortally wounded. Dr. Menefee, we understand, was horribly cut to pieces, having no less than 31 cuts and stabs. He survived only till Saturday last, and was buried on Sunday. Mr. Phillips received only one serious wound, a pistol shot through the region ofthe kidneys, and no hopes are entertained of his recovery. We forbear any comments on this painful occurrence, further than the expression of our abliorrence ogfsuch scenes, and our ex- treme regret that it adds another to the long catalogue Of brutal outrages with which the character (if our State has been too long stained—Little Rock (Aria) Gaz.

We are indebted to the “ Tattler” for the following graphic description of the late “ set—to” in ,Washington, between two celebrated l/V/ng amateurs of the sci- ence :— - nour AT FISTICUFFS BETWEEN Two LEARNED MEMBERS

_ y or CONGRESS. , -

Mr. Campbell of Tennessee, and Mr. Boardman of Conn: had a regular set~to at Washington on Wednesday morning. .

The difficulty grew out ofsome dispute pertainina to the abolition inthe House the day before. Campbellawas the challenger, and the belligerents met in the Avenue near Gadsby’s. '

. PRELIMINARIES. .

Campbell.——Mr. Boardman, you must explain away what you said in the House yesterday, or I’ll be— ifI don’t giveyou a drubbing.

Boardman.——I’ll explain away nothing, and it isn’t in your breeches to drub me.

Campbell.—You lie!

Boardman.—You lie!

Campbell.—You are a scoundrel, so take that!

And_the “'that” which he requested Mr. Boardman to take, was neither more nor less than a sound box on his left oricular. . ’

Not relishing such familiarity and feelin in 'Y for the sufi'eriug of his innocenty ear, Mr. BEardiiilEiiniiii stantly squared Off a la Caiint, and favoured Mr. Camp- bell with a scientific “,Bendozer” over the right eye- brow. And then the dance began.

Round first.—The combatants well up. Campbell made a feint for Boardman’s smaller, but changed his mind, and took him an astonisher on .\the bread basket which produced a slight concussion in the elements. ’

Round second.—Boardman pufling, but wary. Cam - bell looked Wicked, and came up to the scratch like a shower of brick bats. Made a demonstration in favour of Boardman’s nose. Boardman dodged it and put in a sledge hammer blow on Campbell’s wind~pipe who stacr. gered under it, as if it was a bottle of handy but it: inediately rallied, and’closed, when there W3; a mosi interesting (Illisplay oghard fibbing, not a little biting and some scratc in , an in c ' I ’ vemd wm‘ hails. oncluSion both went down co-
