but ask any one of them why say you eo, aod they \u2018answer, oh, I planted mine 50 and had a good crop, or I always plant mine 50 and I generally have good potatoes.Now it must be a very poor method indeed that will not sometimes produce good results, whether applied to planting potateos, sowing wheat, or exterminaiiug Canada thistles.But what, we want to koow is the best method of doiug these things, and one that will produce good results qpiformly.\u2018The past season I have experimented a little with potatoes in order to ascertain what kiod of seed and the quantity to use.The.ground was a slaty loam and had been mowed for eighteen years, and was broken up and planted to corn last year, without manure, giving thirty-eight bushels to the acre.\u2014 Measured off oue acre, twenty rods long and eight wide.The land was marked both ways, five rows to the rod, and planted to potatoes, without ma- uvre.They were plavted April 28, and covered two inches deep.The firy eight rows lengthwise of the, piece were planted with one piece to the hill, two eyes ou a piece.The next eight rows, with two pieces, making four eyes to the hill, \u2018The third eight rows, three pieces, or six eyes.The fourth, one small -potato whole.\u2018The fifth, one large potato whole.The first rows bad two stalks to the bill in about three-fourths of the hills, the rest only one.\u2018The stalks were large dnd much branched near the ground, but did not cover the ground as much as either of the others.Number two had three to four stalksto the hill, but they were more slender than either of the former.Number 4 had from four to ten stalka to the bill, which «ere very slender, espocially where there were more than five stalks to the hill.Number five had from five to eight stalks to the hill, and wero more stocky than vumber four.Dug the aivth, tenth and twelfth of October, and accurately weighed, with the following results: \u2014 Lbs, large Lbs.Total weight potatoes.small large & small.No.1 2460 90.2550 No.2 2580 75 2055 No.3 2280 165 2445 No.4 2055 287 2343 No.5 2230 180 2410 Total, 11,905 707 12,702 Omitting fractious, the yield per acre of cach plat would be respectively 212, 246, 203, 195, and 200 bushels.It will be seen that four eyes to the Lill gave the most potatoes, it being thirty- four bushels more to the acre than the vext highest, and fifty-one bushels more thau the least.From this experiment I infer that four stalks are as many as ought to be left in a hill.Small potatoes uavally have as many eyes as large ones, and consequently when used for seed an excess is often.planted.The largest potatoes were on No.1 and No.2; Nos.3aod & were about alike ; in No.4 they were considerably the smallest.In plat No.1, I observed that where only one eye grew, the yield was nbout three-fourthsas much as where two came.This suggests another question, viz.: does the amount of potato left with the eye affect the produce ?\u2014 [ere is on chance for further experiment, by taking just the eye alone ; also the eye with a small piece of flesh and so increase it until we get the whole potato, with all bat one of the eyes taken out,\u2014all to be planted separately and the produce noted.That four stalks to the hill are better thau more, I am satisfied, from the result of another experiment made with a few hills on another piece, where I planted 200 hills, one-half with large and the rest with small potatoes, ope iv a hill, and whole.One-fourth of each kind was thinped at the first hoeing, to two stalks in the hill; one-fourth to four stalks ; one-fourth to six, and the remainder left as they came up.The difference in yield between the large and small seed was but little, but the difiercnce between the hills left to themselves and those thinned out was as great as in the experiment above detailed.Thus T conclude that it makes but little difference whether we plant just what eyes we wish to stand, or plant more and thin them out, ouly it is a waste of seed, and like the beet aud and carrot bed, never get thinned out.1 intend to repeat the experiment next season; but my manuer of planting the main crop can be inferred from the above.\u2014 Cor.New England Farmer.opinions of a Market Gardener.We have received the following valuable commuoication from C.Spratt, Market Gardener of this city, the substance of which we present as follows: \u201cNoticing the remarks on ovion culture io a recent number of tho Herald for the benefit of onion growers, I would state that the sooner onions are planted, the better.The best bed of ouious I ever saw in this city.was planted the 28th of March.Potato onions are the best and surest crop, especially for small gardeus, as they are fit for the table the year round, and are also excellent keepers.Early peas aod potatoes should be planted, if possible, at the same time.Those who have any deubt as to the expediency of doing as recommended, should make the experiment.Allow me to say that those who have uot tried sprouting potatoes will be agreeably surprised to find the differ- | etice which will be made by doing so.they should be sprouted io thin layers in boxes or crates, aud should be ex- \u2018posed to daylight, in order that the | rprouts may.bo grees .and tongh\u2014 Nr 45, SR aE 2 Spripkliog milk-warm water où them three times-a week, ; improves their growth.They shoud be started first 18 p \u2018dark room, thén placed in thin layers ap recommended.When the sprouts are one inch long, they are ready to expose to daylight.At planting time, carry them carefully iuto the garden, iv the boxes or crates in which t ey haye been sprouted.Just before they peep through the earth they should be covered with straw or long manure.\u2014 Utica Herald.co Vegetables for Family Use.\u2018What vegetables shall be raised is a question of some importance to a certain class in the community who bave gardens attached to their homes, but do uot make farming or gardening a busi- vess, and huve but a few hours each duy to devote to such pursuits.It is possible that some farmers may \u2018get some hints that may be of service to them.Wa presume all of our readers will admit the advaotage and healthful- ess of fresh vegetables, and the only question is how best to obtain them.\u2014 \u2018There is no better way to secure them iu the freshest aud best condition than to grow them, and in doing this it is better to seloct the best varieties.We propose to give & list of such as we have been iv the habit of raising, aod such as we believe will be found to be good.For peas, for early, Dan O'- Rourke ;

that last June he sowed an acre of corn in drills, and commenced cuttiog them and feeding them to the cows daily the first of July.Wheo the September rains came on he omitted the corn feeding four days, and the result was a dimi- uutiou of fifty-two pounds of milk per day.The corn feeding was again resumed, aud in four days the cows gave their customary quantity of milk.The increased flow of milk doubly paid the cost of feed given.This is an import- and fact, and should induce dairymeo to provide this kind of nourishment for their stock ot a season of the year when pasturage is short.In fact it would seem that the former may profit ably be substituted fcr the latter under avy or all circumstances, as the yield of green corn fodder is great, and the cost of producing it comparatively light.SAwina orr CATTLE\u2019s Horns.\u2014Pro- fessor Spoouer, Presideut of the Veterinary College, London, on a trial in Dublio guve the followiug evidence :\u2014 \u201cI bave said that I cousider this to be a very gross act of cruel@, aud for tliis reason, that the horns of oxen are unlike those of the deer species.They have a large proportion of bone growing out from the bone of the head, and that is surrounded by a heavy sensitive structure, so that, to cut the horns, they had to go below where it was simply horny, and the animal had to suffer great pain.The nearer the operation was performed to the skull, the greater the suffering.That bone was hollow \u2014 that is to say, it had not one single horned cavity\u2014but it had several cells which extended into the head, though not to the brain, but close toit.\u2018These cavities were exposed, by the removal of the horns; to the air; and as they are lined with a delicate, sensitive membrane\u2014there being besides a delicate, sensitive covering outside\u2014great suffering must be caused.The cavities were never intended by nature to be exposed to the air, which brought on an inflammatory condition.These cavitics were very apt to be inflamed, and the inflammatioo was very likely to be extended to the membranes of the brain, catsing madnes, lockjaw, or other dan- gerobis results.\u2018This operation is ône of tbe most paîuful and onwarraatable that\u2019 ¢ould\u2019 possibly be performed\u201d on catilé.\u201d \u2018We\u2019 commend the foregoing to thé atténtion of men who comibit hord-vatdälièm.tor SoWInà Crover Sren.\u2014I am conf- dent tlivte «#8 hundreds of acres of clover seeding lost eve Jeu by soviog the clover too ently.' wait until cs _STANSTEAD \u2018nights are-overif J Saas thè coid'tid frééiti the spring;

that of the optician and that of the dentist.Take away the old man\u2019s spectacles nod leave his jaws dismantled without the hope of repair, and what will life be worth to him?No wonder those very sensible people we call savages, not havisg either of these helps, expect their children to see that they are rot left to such a fate.When the eyes of the vecoera- ble warrior can no lounger read the literature tattooed on his enemy's skin, when he has lost his teeth and can no longer do justice to the pieco de resist- auce furnished by the last skirmish of his tribe, his cldest son kindly dismisses him by a single blow of his war- club to that better region where the good caunibals go, avd become vegetable feeders as we charitably trust.\u2014 What would the old age of civilizzd life be\u2014even iu Bostou\u2014without convex leuses to help the failing sight;

and Mr.Jas.Jackson Jarves, in his biographical work, goes back further still, for he professes to have remembered oc- eurrences before he was born ! The last is only paralleled by the hero of a Hindoo story, who spoke before his birth, and by St.Benedict, who, it is alleged, sang eucharistic hymos io the same state.But we are not informed whether the two latter rememberad the events themselves, or whether they are only slated on the testimony of others.+ LEsONs ror Fever \u2014Says that walking eyclopedia of health knowledge Dr.Hall :\u2014 When persons are feverish and thirsty beyood what is natural, indicated in some cases by a metallic taste in the mouth, especially after driokiug water, or by a whitish appearauce of the greater part of the sarface of the tongue, one of the best \u2018\u2018coolers\u201d internal or external, is to take a lemon, cut off the top, sprinkle over it some loaf sugar, working it downward in\u2018o the lemon with a epoon, and then suck it slowly, squeezing the lemon and adding sugar as the acidity increases from being brought up from à lower point.Invalids with feverishuess may take two or three lemons a day io this mad.ner with the most marked benefit manifested by'a seuse of coolness, comfort and iovigoration.A lemon or two this taketi at \u201clea-time,\u201d as an entire sub- stittte for the ordinary \u201csuper\u201d of summer, would give many a comfortable night's sleep and.an awakening after rèst and iovigoration, with au appetite for breakfast, to which they are atran- gers who will have their cup of tea or supper of \u201crelish\u201d and \u2018\u2018cake,\u201d and bere ze 1, OF pesches had siésa, hal TOR | » THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1869.Lu THE COMING OF THR BIRDS.BY A.I.LINTON.:0y Narthland, smile again to-day!

UMBRELLA TALE.CHAPTER 1, Suougly stowed in my little and somewhat crowded receptacle which constituted a part.or rather compartment, of the highly French-polished oakeu hat stand that stood in the lobby of No.\u2014, Cireus Place, \u2018Modern Athous,\u201d I, my youthful mistress\u2019s pet umbrelln, was, to say the least of it, most diangrecably disturbed on the morning of April 1, 18\u2014, by n couple of fine-loukisg boys.Thoy were twin-brothers, end à pair of very young rascals were Edward and Frederick Blair.They were up rather earlier than usual, and judging from their half-suppressed exuberance of animal spirits, 1 strougly suspected that they were bent on mischief; and 1 am sorry to add that this suspicion of mine was much sooner realized than 1 had suticipated, \u201cCome here, Ned,\u201d whispered Fred: erick, as soon ns le reached the hat stand ; \u201c\u2018just como here for mivute,\u201d lie repeatod in n lower and atill more confideutial like touo,

blushing, \u201c*how can you jest in this way?it is frown Edith Murray ; 1 coul distinguish hor handwriting amoug a thousand specimens of caligraphy.\u201d And then to convince her provoking parent that slie made no mistake iu regard to hor friend's writing, she oponed the onvelopp aud read to her mother the following note :\u2014 \u201cGrange, Mareli 31st.\u201cMy denreat Nettie:\u2014F wish

desporation the storm-beat girls rusortod to us\u20141 menn their little winbrollas, for Kdith carried oue some- whut similar to mysolf.By this time thoy had reached the contro of what is in reality the Bridge, and in attempting to put their disorder- od screens in practical use, thoy wero in à dilomma which may be described ns being truly deplorable.Edith was whirled nloug u fow pacos, still holding on by the haudlo of her partially ex- toutled aml refactory umbrella\u2019; nud Just as the two gentlemen, of whom Edith had Lown speaking to Nettie, eamo to the wid of the unfortunate lu- dies, a violent gust of wind literally wrenched mo out of poor Nettic's delicate hands, aud sent mo spioning up io the air liko an ungovernable balloon.\u2014 Then over the iron railings I went, aud tumbled down, down, into the *Cow- gato Infernus\u201d that yawuos like a hideous chasm far boueath the arched span of ihe bridge.CHAPTER IT, Some of my boves wore slightly bruised, though nove of them wero broken or seriously injured by the fall and I was ultimately picked up by av honest aud rather an intelligent son of the Emerald Isle.Ilome the Hibernian carried me\u2014np à dirty narrow, closs onaty stair, nud into a wretched attic ar garrot, wherein his wife Biddy and peal, that Neddy could no longer rosist the invitation.\u201cWell, then,\u201d engerly inquired the latter, as he bounded from the bottom of the stair-caso to his brother's aide, \u2018what are you going to do?\u201d \u201cHush, don\u2019t speak so loud,\u201d whispered the cunning Fred; \u201cI'm going to spoil the wire stop or bracket spring of Nottie's favorite umbrella.\u201d \u201cBut she will blame us for it, and then papa will surely punish us,\u201d rea- goned Ned, \u2018Besides, what fun could wo get by spoiling the umbrellu?\u201d \u201cTut, man, you are uot even half game enough for a baby\u2019s frolic,\u201d put in the displeased I'red.\u2018*Nettie vever suspects any one : she will think it was an accident, and though papa knew the truth he would pass it over us an April trick.Now Hugh Murray aud I arranged yesterday that our sisters should be sent ou fools\u2019 errands at once and the same time to-day ; vo Hugh resolved to imitate his sister Idith\u2019s handwriting, and to send a note inviling our Nettie to go to the Grange, whilst ! have counterfeited Netlie\u2019s hand in an invitation for Edith to come here.© At the same time, loo, Hugh promised to put his sister's umbrella out of order alter the sume fashion in which Pm to trent Nettie\u2019s one.Now,\u201d the juvenile plotter continued, \u201cIidith Murray and our Nettie will likely rpeet each other about half way, and if it begins to blow and rain, won't it be jolly ?\u201d \u201cBy jingo! so it will,\u201d shouted the delighted snd pewly-initiated Ned, forgetting in that moment of boyish ecstu- sy that silence was indispensable to the success of the wicked scheme.But a significant gesture and look from his brother cautioned him; and as the youthful rogues proceeded to undo my pretty clasp, and to destroy the little steel spring that keeps up or lets down my inner works, as may be requires when I am used in wot weather,\u2014] must confess that I did not feel well pleased.ut wheo 1 locked upon the gleeful, chubby faces of the boya, why, hang me, 1 could not feel for the life of me angrily disposed towards them.* - * * * \u201cMake haste, Freddy, maka haste !\u201d hurriedly whispered Ned, \u2018\u2018fusten its clasp and put it jvto its right quarter aguin\u2014there's Nettie coming down.\u201d But just ag the trickish monkey was in the net of putting or rather tossing me into my place iu the walking-stick and umbrella apartment of the oak hat stand, Lis sister Nettic\u2014a spleudid creature of some nivcleen or twenty summers\u2014had glided far enough down the stair to witness his last act.\u201cAh, Fred, Fred,\u201d she said, what have you been deing with my beantiful parasol?the only keepsake that I got from Lady Barton before she went away to the Continent.Oh, you naughty bay,\u201d aud seeing a flush of conscious guilt overspread Fred's countenance, she quickly took me from my place, but failing to sce anything wrong with me, she, with a relieved heart, care.folly replaced me.\u201cHal hu! hal\u201d laughingly exclaimed Ned, \u2018why, Nettie, you have proved \u2018yourself to be an April fool; you \u2018thought at first that we had spoiled your umbrella, and now you find ooth- iog amis with it; ha! ha] ha!\u201d And then both brothers joinedin a hearty \u2018laugh at their sister's expense, CHAPTER 11.\u2018 About an hour \u2018after the incident hich 1 Laye-reoorded, the, herging of AF Mb tuke her umbrella with her, ns the al- mauac says it

to lis month voinly trying to stifle his laughter, \u201cWit 1\" exclsimed Mr.Blair, who still ant in the breakfast parlor on the ground-floor, and who, through the partly open door, had heard all this latter conversation goîng on, \u2018two philosophers in one family?Come, get you gone to school, sirrah, or you'll be too lites,\u201d The boy did not need n° second bidding to be gone; but alas! poor Mise Nettie.She did not then even onter- twin the slightest snspicion that the roguish Fred had seriously injured her \u201cpretty puraxol,\u201d ns she often called ne, CHAPTER LIT, The hour that saw my heroine on her way to the Grange soon approached aud l may remark liere that, as yet, the day was pretty fair, but exceedingly dull.Tndeed, this very unsettled and cloudy state of the ethereal super- fices of the atmosphere rather induced Miss Blair to take ine, her silent servant, with her.Now, of all the spring and summer mouths April has ever been most proverbial for sudden short gusts of wind and showers of rain ; und there are certainly few adult per- sous who have not had some experience of tan April shower.\u201d Umbrellas ought to he\u2014in spite of all your wenth- er-prophets\u2014the best authorities on this subject, as no fashionable young ludy in France (my native country), or 1 Great Britain, will ventare far vut- side without one of my kind, especially at this particular period of the spring season.Yet, p:operly speaking, 1am ay much u parasol as [ am av umbrella, I was made in Paria chiefly for what is called * April use,\u201d that is, the protec- tiou of the ladies\u2019 handsome bonnets aud fair faces from both sun and rain.Consequently, 1 am a large parasol as well us a small ambrella, and can be used to good advantage in cither foul or fair weather\u2014whether tbe sky is shining or showering.My heroine had scarcely reached the southern extremity of the street known by the naine of George 1V.Dridge, wheu, to her utter arnazement, rhe tnet her friend Edith Murray, who, in her turn.was gqually astonished on mect- ing Nettio.\u201cBless my heart,\u201d exclaimed Edith, \u201cwhat in the name of wonder has brought you so far from home when you knew I would be on my way to see you?\u2019 \u201cYou come to sce mel\u201d reiterated Nettie, thinking at the moment that ber sense of hearing had deceived ler, \u201coh, Edith, dear, this is surely some mistake, did you not send me a note urging me to come and sec you ?\u201d \u201cNo, no, my dear girl,\u201d replied the helf-bewildered Edith, \u201cbut 1 got a uote from yon this moroing requesting me to pay you a visit, as you had something of paramount importancé to communicate.\u201d Co \u201cYet one word,\u201d pleaded my-heroine on whose miod a faint glimmering of the actual truth was begining to dawn, \u201cdid you write any nole to me within this week ?* ero \u201cNo,\u201d + : 1 .\\.\u201cThen we.bave bees made the dupes of some petty trick, in other words, we her \u201chig family of childron\u201d wore sitting around what seemed to be a luble, the top of which was covered with \u201csmoking praties\u201d and p bowl or busin filled with butter-milk.\u201cSure, Biddy, and it's myself that's in lack this Licssed dny,\u201d shouted 1'at, us he entered.\u2018Then he told Biddy where and how lie hind picked me up, nod after minutely inspecting me, he snid\u2014\u2014*Inith, it's a good little parasol though the spring's out, and maybe 1 wight get more ns a roward for fuding it than I'd got by selling it, for sure it must belong to some fine lady.\u201d And his wifo was of tho same opinion.\u201cJohnny, my bhoy,\u201d cried my tom- porary custodiun to his eldest lad, who, I goon learnt, perved us a \u201c\u2018printer\u2019s devil\u201d at an adjoining printing-oflico\u2014 \u201cfetch home some ould newspapers that yer master bas vo use for, nud we'll read the advertisemouts to-uight.\u2019 * » .* » Next morning by eight o'clock my lucky finder, in the highest spirits imaginable, had me conveyed to the door of No.\u2014 Queen atrect.\u201cTop o\u2019 the morning to yo, my purty daar,\u201d said Pat to the servant, as she opened the door, \u2018yer master's at home, isu\u2019t he now?\u201d \u201cYea, he's at home,\u201d answered the rervant.\u201cThen like a awate darlinz, Le aftor telling him that à bhoy wishes to see isin sooner than immediately,\u201d Put was speedily shown into the Ji- brary, where Mr.Jeffrey (Edith\u2019s cousin) awaited him.\u201cPluize yer honor, are you the giu- teman that wrote this little bit of intelligence for the newspaper?\u201d inquired Pat, at the same time handing the \u2018gen tleman\u2019 in question a clipping from the Advertiser, containing an advertisement ta the effect that a liberal reward would be given to the person who restored a lady's browa silk umbrella that had heen lost on the previous day, &u.&c.Mr.Jeffrey replied in the affirmative eagerly took me, gnd cheerfully paid the man the promised reward.But no sooner were the Hibervian's many thanks\u2014to Me.Jeffrey and my patron suit, St, Sfithin\u2014utiered, and himself gone, than my new pussessor pas- sonately kissed me over and over, and then pressed roe to his bosom till I actually felt his heart beating at a singn- larly rapid rate.What could the young barrister mean by this extraordinary conduct?He had never seen me before but once, and when he first saw me 1 was tossing in the wind like a paper kite in a horri- cave.What then meant his strange and unparallelied partiality for me?Ah, thought I, after sundry conjectures has my mistress lost her parasol aod found a lover?Well, well, \u201cit\u2019s an ill wind that blows nobody good,\u201d that tHe poor Irishman that found me can

and that the property be not sold without its cousent.\u2018The following ir the law of the Connexion as laid down in the Discipline und Model Decd :\u2014\u201cWe will admit no charter, deed or couveyauce for any church when used by us unless it Le provided, in such chartor, deed or con- voyance, that the Trustees of said church shall, at all times, permit such Ministers und preachers belonging to tho Wesleyan Methodist Church, ne shall from time to time be duly authorized by the Conference as the Minister of our Church, to preach and expound God's Holy Word, and to execute the discipline of the Church, and to administer the Sacraments therein, nc- cording to the trne meaning and purport of our deed of settlement.\u201d In & clause of the above named deed regulating the duties of Trustees iv the management of any church with which they may be officially connected, it is asserted, that said Trustees \u2018\u2018shall permit aod suffer the said church or place of religious worship with the appurtenances, to be used, occupied and ou- joyed ns and for n place of religious worship by a cougregatiou of the Wes- leynn Methodist Church in Canada, and for publie and other mootings, and service, eld according to the rules \u2018and discipline apd geooral usage of the anid church, aud shall from time to time aud at all times hereivaftor, pe:- mit and suffer such person and persors as are hereinafter mentioned or dosig- nated, to preach and expound God\u2019s Holy Word, aud to perform the usuel acts of religious worship therein ; that is to say, such persou aud persous shall from time to time be approved and for that purpose duly appointed by the said Couference of the suid Wesleyan Methodist Church.\u201d The Stone Church on Stanstead Plain, known as the \u201cNew Methodist Church,\u201d is the only Methodigt Church we have iu this pluce, consequently, all that can be claimed of any Methodist Church can be claimed of it.For, nl- though the building be uot yet complet- ei, still, so fur as it has gone, it is the bona fide property of the Couference ; for the deed of the land embraces all the \u2018\u2019Appurteuaoces aud hereditaments\u201d that shall ever be erected thereon.\u2014 tho highest Methodist authority\u2014dates from the time of deeding the propery to the Connexion.This property was deeded in 1866 ; therefore, it has ever since been subject to the coutrol of the Wesleyan Methodist Couference.Now, let it be distinctly borpe mind, that, while my claim extended to the main edifice, I confined the exercise of that claim to the rear building, designated the Chapel.Moreover, most are aware, that the custom of using the basement or chapel for some time, if veed be, before the church is ready for occupation, as well as the custom of dedicating the house before completion, prevails, in this country, and that too, where the parte superiutending the work is a con tractor, In the United States alto this rational course is frequently fo: lowed.It wasso in Boston in the Tremont street M.E.Church, aud it is- but a faw weeks since we read a glowing account of the dedication of the splendid Métropoliga Church iv Washington, of which President Grant is a Trüstee, before the completion of the tower and spire.But it is, I understand, a question with some, why I should assert my claim to even tho chapel.It js well koown, that the Town Hall, because of in ted for some time past, has been ren- \u201cdered vholly unfit, for Divine service.;
