About 2 o'clock on the morning of the 16th inst. a very destructive fire occurred in this place, which destroyed the court house, together with the papers and rccoids of the clerk and recorder's cfiiccs The fire when first discovered, was making progress on the stairway from the fust floor, but before a sufficient number had collected to effect any thing, it burst forth from the roof, which rendered it impossible to save the house with the means within the power of the citizens. There cannot be a doubt that the .destruction was the work of an incendiary, as the fire originated in that part of the house most remote from any lire place, and unfrequented by those who occupied the offices. No con ect estimate can be formed of the damage sustained : all the papers and documents burnt were generally al liable to some person The clerk and sheriff arc losers to a considerable amount.

Kitchen Gardening As every farmer is interested it) tli.e best method of cultivating a ccrhmon (athcri garden, 1 have collected as much information on that subject as my means coiild furnish. I found that many farmers were in the habit of purchasing seeds from the people denominated Shakers ; and imagined that an account of the Shakers' method of cultivating the most useful plants of the

Kiicnen garucn, wouiu oe very acceptable. In the annexed directions, I have embraced a course of operations which I received from Richard Treat, the oldest gardener at the Shaker villnge, in NewLebution, Columbia county, N. Y. Eciuc.e. It should be sowed as early as it can be taked into the ground, for it cyr.not be injured by early frosts. Dr. Hammond sows a bed for early ktucc late in the proceeding fall. It ought to be sowed in rows sixteen inches apart between vacant rows intended for some o thcr plant. For as the letuce will soon be pulled out, other rows of later vegetables may occupy the whole bed. iladmfivx Should be sowed in drills, 8 Inches apart, the last week in Ma.cb. The beds should be made of horse man ure fresh horn the stable, well mulched w'h garden mould. Olien loosen the rioli about theni while growing and keep out the weeds

apart, made very shallow, not exceeding

ho four feet apart, and the hills in three feet from each other. Melons, Cucumbers find Squathca. They should be planted about the middle of May ; cucumbers for pickling may be planted about the middle of June'. The hiilsmay be three or four feet apart. The ground should be as well prepared as for onions, and they' must be hoed three times before the vines begin to run. Afterwards pull out the weeds. In this part of the country a situation should be selected for cucumbers which will be shaded from eleven o'clock u the forenoon, until three o'clock in the afterneon ; and where they are ey posed to ths sun the rest of the day.

After this victory, the Wahabites, being masters of the magazines d provisions, and treasures of the Egyptians, made a tiiumphal entry into Mecca." Extract of a private letter of the 10th ultimo, Irom Constantinople: " The first feeling of the Turks, upon learning the death of the Emperor Alexander, was salisfaction They knew that that monarch intended -o occupy hi the spring, the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia. It was on this account that certain cabinets had engaged the Porte tVmake Ibrahim Pacha undertake a winter campaign, in order to put down the revolt before the spring. The death of Alexander, however, has changed the face of things ; but many persons are of opinion that a Russian Sovereign, who would be popular with his subjects, must make war unon the Turks." Liberality A Mr. Lawson has introduced into the Legislature of Pennsylvania a resolution to compel printers of papers to publish the laws of that State gratis", u under a penalty of Jifty dollars V Why not go the whole, and compel the printers to support the Government at once ? One measure would be as just as the other, though somewhat more bur densome.

will admit of all the earliest culture. He

says parsnips become poisonous in danvb

Beets and Carrots They should be sowed about the 28th of Apiil in drills three-fourths of an inch deep, and twenty inches apart if carrots are in drills but sixteen inches apart and half an inch

deep, it is about as well. The ground prepared and the seed raked in for onions. Garden Peas. They should be planted about the 28th of April, in drills by pairs, six inches apart, so that one row of bushes may serve for the pair of drills. There should then be four foot spa.ee from centre to centre, between the pairs of drills. The drills should be half an inch deep, and the seed raked in lengthwise of the drills. They should be hoed once, then bushed, and hoed once after being bushed. From this time, merely pull out the weeds. Garden Beans, should be planted about the middle of May, half an inch deep, in rows. The rows for bush beans should be three feet apart, with the hills in a row two and a half feet from each other.
