Pruning Trees. We notice that some of our neighbors have already commenced pruning their fruit and shade trees. This operation had better be omitted until the mouth of May or even the fore part of June, a9 the wounds made by cutting off limbs at that season , will sooner be covered with new wood, than those made by cutting during the winter. The pru-

iningof fruit trees may be omitted, until

after they have passed the flower, and the young fruit begins to show itself, the limbs to be cut away can then be more

judiciously selected with regard to the

crop. Ornamental trees may be trimmed as soon as they begin to leaf out. In cutting off limbs, a small cut should always be made the lower side first, then the limb may be cut or sawed upon the upper side without danger of splitting down when nearly off, which often happens when this precaution is not taken. GoodseWs Gen. Farmer. Cutting Timber. In reply to the inqui ry made by 1). K. respecting the proper season for cutting' timber, we say, that where durability is the object, timber should be cut at that season, when there is the least sap in it, say in February, but where it is for the purpose of clearing land and the timber to be cut is of a kind that is likely to sprout, (hen it is desirable to have it cut when there is most sap in it, as that not only prevents the stumps frem sprouting but they rot much soouer than when cut in February. Ib.

culture or Tin: potatoe onion. Fresh manure is highly injurious to every kind of bulbous root; a sandy soil, witha well drained bottom, is the best; but any good ground will answer that is free from springs near the surface. The ground should be dug and well broken to the depth of two feet, if possible, and a compost spread four inches deep on the surface, composed of the following materials : Well rotted cow dung, one fifth, or equal parts. - Grey sand if shelly, so much the better, one fifth, or equal parts; Turf mould, one fifth, do.

Good sound fresh earth, one fifth, do. Coal ashes, one fifth, do. The bulbs should be laid in rows fourteen to sixteen inches apart, and six or seven inches from one to another in the row; they should be barely convered with the hoe in the first instance, as they

must have time to strike and swell before they are incumbered with a weight ol earth. Plant the bulbs in September, October, November, and December,and cover them gradually until a mound is raised about six inches high, and four or five inches broad at the base, according to the size. In the month of May, or perhaps in April, the onion9 may be again uncovered and exposed to the sun, and

remain uncovered until they Rre ripe. Thi9 practice accelerates their arrival at maturity, and greatly diminishes the trouble in saving them. In taking up the onions, great care is required not to sep erate she small bulbs which grow in clusters on the tops of the large ones; these might be removed a few weeks before you

dig out the large bulbs. They should be planted again in masses, taking care to remove any of them that may have become soft or decayed ; in this way they nourish and assist each other; but if by any accident the clusters should be brokeu, they may be planted separately.

Cutting Scions. There iVa prejudice a gainst cutting scions at any other time than during the month of February, which often deters people from improving opportunities which they have of procuring choice fruit, if they were apprized that scions might be cut at any time from Sep lember until May, and succeed well if they are properly kept. When scions are cut early in the season they may be put

in the garden or some convenient place, burying one end of tbetn in the ground or they may be laid in a hole in the ground covering the whole with earth, where they may be allwoed to remain until spring. Ib.

Such is the salutary operation of its doctrines and precepts upon health and life, that if its divine authority rested upon no other argument, this alone would be sufficient to recommend it to our belief. How long mankind may continue to prefer substituted pursuits and pleasures to this invigorating stimulus, is uncertain; but the time, we ate assured, will come, when the undeistanding shall be elevated from its present inferior objects, and the luxated passion will be reduced to their original order. This change in the mind of man can be effected only by the influence of the Christian religion, after all the ef forts of human reason to produce it solely

who is desirous of a severe attack of dis

ease, or who wishes to get lid of life in

severe agonies, should when wet to the skin, and benumbed by cold, dry himself

before a large tire, and toss down a glass

of spirits or hot toddy. It may be re

plied, that many have pursued tins prac

vigorous system can, it is true, do many

things which would be destructive to the

more weakly. Let them, however, per

The individual, on the other hand, who wishes to run no risk, but to preserve his health and life, should change with all possible speed his wet clothing, and per sist in moderate exercise until the heat of the body is again restored, approaching the fire only by degrees; or, what is even preferable, if the exposure to cold and wet has been of some continuance, retire at once to bed and drink moderately of tepid barley-water, balm tea, or gruel.

In the Washington Telegraph received yesterday, we find the following artic le addressed to the democratic party of the United Stales: "I have for some time past confemph -ted writing a few letter?, addressed to the

Democratic party of the United States, for the purpose of demonstrating that the warfare upon the present Bank of the U.

States, is but a pretence on the part of

inose hy whom it is enrned oo, for the establishment, on its ruins, of a much more dangerous monied power, under the direct control of the Executive; and that, instead af substituting gold and silver a the currency of (he country, their purpose i, first, to divert the public attention from their own selfish and ambitious ends, by a clamor against the United States Dank; that, when they have acquired power, they may consolidate the monied and po. litical influence of the country under the control of a central Regency, clothed with an influence far more dangeious to the peace and liberty of these States, than that of the institution which they seek to overthrow. As, injustice to the subject, I must speak of the individuals who now control the Government, and especially of the establishment of the Globe and its editors, Kendall and Blair, 1 prefer to speak in my own proper person. I am aware, that in fining so, I subject myself to the charge of egotism; but believing that the "independence of the country ia in danger," I feel the obligation to "assume the lion's part," and "fight to conquer or to perish ." My purpose in these letters will be to show Who Amos Kendall is; Who F. P. Pdair is; The purpose of the establishment of the Globe ; That O'en. Jackson and his party were in favor of a National Bank; That their objection to the present bank is personal nnd unpatriotic; That, under the pretext of reforming the currency , their object is to banish a metallic currency, and to substitute the

depreciated notes of the local banks; That Gen. Jackson, himself, is ignorant of the principles of banking, and thiit the wicked men who surround him, have wielded his passions and his prejudices for their own private emolument, greatly to the public injury. I propose further to show, that the disorganization of the Republican party is to be attributed to the unwarrantable ambition of Martin Van Buren, and to the corrupt and disorganizing artifices practised for its accomplishment. To establish thete (ruths, I will submit facts which cannot be denied, and arguments which cannot be refuted. DUFF GIIEEN.
