From the Ohio Farmer. PLANTING FRUIT TREES-

Mr. McDJLHr r I have for many years devoted a good part of my time in raising fruit trees. I have watched my own experiments, as well as those of my neighbors, with a critic's eye, and feel a desire oflavioff before your readers my plan of planting

trees. I do not claim the pre-eminence oyer any one, neither do I set myself dp as a criterion for othere to be governed by; but have tried various ways, sometimes with partial success, and sometimes with the entire los3 of my trees. I feel satisfied with my present plan of planting, and hesitate not to recommend it to others for trial. The tree to be planted should bo as young as circumstance will admit- The best season for planting is just when the leaves begin to turn yellow in The fell, the spring will answer if done very early; the ground being prepared and the tree taken up, pnTne the roots with a sharp knife, so as to leave none over a foot long; and if any have been torn off next to the stem, prune the part so that no bruises or ragged parts remain ; cut off all the fibres rlnm tn the roots, for thev never live, but mould,

and do a material injury; if they be cut off their nlice is auicklv supplied with others; dig the hole

twice as big, and one foot deeper, than the roots actually need for room: have fine earth and very

fine rich mould, mixed together; by some of this one foot dceoat the bottom of the hole; place the

rnrvfst nnnn this in thmr natural order, and hold the

tree perfectly straight, while you put sifted earth in the roots, move the tree different ways, and give it a gentle lift and shake, so that the fine earth may find its way among the smallest roots, filling up the least cavity; every root should bo pressed by the earth that is thrown in. When you have covered all the roolswith the sified earth, and have found that the tree "19 planted just as it originally

dtood, allowing four inches for it to settle; till up the rest of the hole with common earth, and when " you have nearly filled it, tread lightly on the dirt, then fill the remainder of the hole, leaving the top as light and smooth as possible; use no water, it sinks rapidly down, makes cavities among the roots, lets in air; the roots will mould and canker, and the tree often die. If the tree be planted early in October, it will have struck out roots a number of inches long before winter sets in, and this must be the best time for doing the business. They have the fall and winter to become perfectly settled, and in spring they have nothing to do but meet the genial rays of the sunf and to grow. The roots should be out of the ground as short a time as possible, and if the roots become partially dry,Soak them a few hours in soft water. If the tree be for an orchard, it should bo five or six feet high, unless cattle can be kept out; and each one should be kept steady by a stake, for if they be moved about by the wind, the root3 become lose and the tree injured. If the trees be very short they will require no stake. They ought to be planted the second vear after budding or crafting. If the tree be

planted out in the fall, the head should be shortened down in the spring. If you plant in the spring,

do it as early as possible, but the ground must he dry on the top when you plant, and a3 soon as the buds begin to swell, shorten the head. After a sorini? planting ouard against the drought, by lay-

in small stones round the tree, to the distance of

two feet from the centre. As it respects the dis

tance of planting, this depends upon tho different kinds of fruit, as some need more distance than

others.

When the plants are two years old, take them up from the nursery and trim off all the suckers, and lrivpr hmnr.lips. leaving onlv one Stem With a few

a moist situation, and where they will be partially shaded by branches of trees. In the autumn, cov-

er the ground around them wun manure irom uie cow yard. The litter end of February thin out

the branches very much, cutting them oil close 10 the stem, taking out all such as cross each other,

but be sure not to shorten the branches, for' that causes them to throw out a great deal of wood

and very little fruit. In the spring, a quantity of j Indiana, voun suckers will come unround the stem; all j Kentucky,

these must be cut off when green, as also any oth- j er3 that grow in the middle of tho bush, which must be kept open so as to admit the air freely. It is also a great support to the bush, todrive a stake into the ground close to the stem, as keeping it steady causes the fruit to be larger. This treatment is to be continued annually, and instead of

depreciating as usual, will rather improve m size, as has been proved by some planted 15 or 20 years ago. Tho ground must be spaded in the spring and kept perfectly clear of weeds. Amcr. Fanner.

On Sunday last, as two men

were

bathing in the Thames, at Groton, opposite Iew London, Conn, they were attacked by a large shark, and one of them, a" black man, was overtaken by thc monster, drawn under, and undoubtedly devoured, as he never rose again to thc surface. The white man managed to make his way in the sea-weed growing on thc shore, when the sea cannibal gave over the pursuit and fell upon thc poor negro, who was less lucky in making his escape. Thc unfortunate fellow's shrieks, while the shark was mutila

From the Ohio Farmer. CULTIVATION OF THE STRAWBERRY. TO THE LADIES.

The Strawberry is one of the most delicious fruits that the United States can boast of. Though small, it requires but little attention, consequently

the laborer is amply compensated lor 111s ton This plant is a native of thc fields and woods o

America, as well as of Europe. There are many

kinds, and all ereatly improved by cultivation

they bear abundantly, and seem to defy cold and

drouth. Notwithstanding our cold barren spring

which has proved so fatal to almost every kind o fruit, yet my strawberry vines bore abundantly, had some that measured half an inch in diameter

for this cause, I would recommend that every lady call upon some of her male friends to assist her informing beds; one smile, wilh thc promise of a bunch of ripe strawberries on thc first of May next, will be sufficient inducement for them to lay too the helping hand. I will now tell you how I cultivate them : They are propagated from young plants that grow out of old ones. In the summer they send forth runners; where these touch the ground at a certain distance from the plant, come roots, and from these roots a

plant springs up; this plant is put out in the fall, now is a good time to plant them out, and on to the 20th of October; it makes root before winter, and the next year it will bear a little, and send out runners of its own. To make a strawberry bed, plant 3 rows, a foot apart, and at 12 inches apart in the rows; keep the ground clean, and the new plants coming from the runners will fill up the whole of the . ground, and will extend the bed on each side; cut off the runners at one foot distance from the sides, and then you have a bed 4 feet wide covering all the ground. This is the best way, for the fruit does not fall upon the ground, but rests upon the leaves and vines, consequently heavy rains will not beat them into the dirt. If you have more beds than one, there should be a space of one and a half feet between them, and this space should be kept clean during the summer, and filled . with manure in the fall, which settles into the earth and enriches the roots that are in the beds. In November cut off the leaves with a scythe; scatter

over me ucus some ncn well rotted manure.

Vane, the Steam Boat Robber. Perhaps a

greater scoundrel than this man never existed, as the following brief sketch of his life will show. He was born in Lancashire, England, inf tho year

177G, of poor, but honest parents. At an early

age he manifested an extraordinary propensity ol

robbing orchards and hen roosts, but generally play

ed his cards so well that ho escaped detection. On one occasion, however, he was the leader of a

gang of juvenile rascals in robbing an outhouse be

longing to his grandmother, and was detected by a dog that fastened upon him and tore off a part of his

dress, which the dog retained injus teeth till the old lady took it from him; for this offence ho was . .1 . 1 . n 1 -

put into the siocks 01 nis naiivo vniage, aim m ic-

venge, he went the very night of his releasement j and poisoned tho dog, and subsequently fired the

premises. They were unable however, lo bring proof against him sufficient to convict him, and for his relations' sake he was spared.

" His next essay was to seduce a farmers daughter; and when she became enceinte by him, ho gave her corrosive sublimate, with a view to produce abortion, and caused her death. But unfortunately here again, the evidence was not conclusive against him. lie was next removed to the ad

joining county of Durham, and placed by his friends

on a snug little farm, soon atter which he married: he used to beat his wife so frequently that she was

-prematurely delivered of a still born child, and he

eventually marred all his prospects there by committing a rape upon the daughter of one of his farm laborers. He was arrested, but he was bailed out and soon after sold his farm and fled to Whiteha

ven, in Cumberland, where he kept a public house

Uinder the name of Williams; here he married a se

cond wife by whom he had no family. Soon after this marriage tho brother of his first wife, who was still living, coming in a vessel to Whitehaven, went to board at the house of Vane, whom he recognised and exposed; a quarrel and a fight ensued, and Vane drew a knife and stabbed his opponent, and the same evening left Whitehaven and fled to London. On his road to the metropolis, he committed a highway robbery near Ilighgate, attended with circumstances of great brutality ; he stopped a postchaise, in which was a young lady and her father, ly knocking tho driver from his seat: ho then bound and robbed the father and ill treated the daughter. He was then taken by Townsend, (a noted Bow street officer who was termed, par ex

cellence, the 'Royal Trap, and who arrested the noted Jerry Abersham,) tried at the old Baily in the year 1810, and cast for death: the sentence however was commuted lo transportation for life, and he was sent to Sydney, in New South Wales. From this place he escaped in 1801 and returned to England, (although he thereby incurred the risk of losing his life,) and run a career of villany for nearly twenty years, without being detected. During this time he organised gangs of burglars,

opened a depot for the reception of stolen goods,

A respectable farmer of this neighborhood called on us

a law days since, ior me purpose ot inviiing us 10 give publicity to a practice adopted by him for preserving Bees through the winter, which he considers as one of great utility and importance to farmers who produce their own honey. Our informant states that he has kept Bees for a number of vears, and after pursuing several 'expedients for the pereervation of Bees through the cold weather, he last fall placed his hive upon a suitable bench in his cellar, which was perfectly dry, and from which all light was excluded. Upon bringing the

picked pockets, plundered even palaces, trained thieves and trod on the very threshold of justice with unparalleled impunity. At last ho was engaged in 1820 in robbing the cashier of the Stafford and Avon Bank, of notes of the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. The robbery was effected by jostling the cashier, in a way very similar to that put in force, when the notes were stolen from the oflice of the Providence steam boat in this city. Ho was detected by a broker to whom he repeatedly offered some of the notes to be chan

ced, and he was tried under the name ot V yse and

A second time he contrived to escape from Bot

any Bay; and in less than a twelve month after his last conviction, he was detected in attempting to pick the pocket of the very lawyer who had defended him on his last trial, and that too in the same court where he had received his sentence. Knowing that his case was a desperate one, and that if taken, he must inevitably suffer death, he escaped from tho oflicers of justice and ultimately fled to this country. Ho had the hardihood to open a Tuscan hat store in Broadway, and was considered to be doins business on a lanre scale. He and his

accomplices surrounded the boy who took the package containing twelve thousand dollars down to the ofiice of the captain of the Providence steam

boat, and contrived to run off with it. Meritt, the officer, after watching Vane for some days, ventured at tho risk of incurring a prosecution to arrest him. He was ined m December and found guilty. The Recorder, at that time, in his charge to the jury stated lliat being advanced in years, he must have formed some kind of character, (our readers will doubtless be of the same opinion) and his failing to establish a good one, ought to militate against him. To this part of the charge his coun-

hcalth at tho time of his capture, but has been res

tored to perfect health. A negro man belonging to Mr. Martin, who was captured at the same time, has also been restored. Gazette. Little Rock, Aug. 20. Tlic Indian fight a fabrication. We learn, by a gentleman who left Fort Gibson, within tho list ten or twelve days, that the account published in our last paper, of a fight between the Dragoons and Pawnee Indians, the killing of SO and the capture of 150 prisoners of the latter, turns out to bo an entire fabrication. Thero is not the slightest grounds for tho report. Having given circulation to the report, it only remains for U3 to state the authority on which wo

published it: and wc are pleased to have it in our

power to sav that the character and standing of

our informant forbid tho belief that ho has intentionally or knowingly practised an imposition on us.

Our informant is a Rev. Mr. Hives, a Minister of the Methodist Church. We have seen and conversed with him since, and he readily gives us the name of his author. Hisnamo is William Woolscy, a young man who was doing business for Samuel I). Lowell, merchant, at Cane Hill. This man communicated the report to Mr. Rives, about the 1st inst. at the houso of Mr. David Rees, living a few miles from Fayetteville, and there were several other gentlemen present at tho time. Having asserted that he was present at Fort Gibson and saw

the prisoners arrive, wo see no possible way that this Mr. William Woolsey, can exonerate himself from the charge of having knowingly and intentionally fabricated the report, and deliberately giving circulation to it. We trust his detection and and exposure on this occasion will teach him to be more careful how he indulges his propensity, in future, particularly, in the presence of those not acquainted with his character. Arlc. Gaz. From thc Montreal Daily Advertiser. No story connected with emigration can be more

Alter remaining about four weeks, during which time, between sixty and one hundred were carried to their graves, the remainder were allowed to depart wives without husbands, husbands without wives children without parents, and parents without children.
