 hv miirripalioii, nnd tlis sale is tlien clii-cled by 

 BMiall cis^u- inanuf'actnrers and brokers, to treat 

 with vvhotM the utmost caution is required. A 

 nuiior was recently afloat that the j,'()vernor 

 wished to remedy the evil, and to erect a store 

 ninfraziiie for the deposit of all tobacco destined 

 for sale, arranged and classilied liy sworn brokers, 

 but hitherto (July 10) nothing has been done.— 

 The crop this year is most prolific, but there 

 is a predjuce afrainst tlic (piality in certain cases, 

 as the bmhlinps for dryiiif.', sorting, and packni? 

 the tobacco were too small in [iroportion to the 

 quantity, and the tobacco was broiigbt to maiket 

 in an immature stale. Still the demand contin- 

 ues to e.\ceed the supply by a great deal. 1 He 

 preparation of cigars occupies a great jiorlioii 

 of the population; with the increasing consump- 

 tion the exportation to all pans of the world con- 

 tinually augments ; in proof of which we shal 

 merely observe, that the r^rench reg-(e has found 

 itself compelled to conclude a new contract for 

 40 000 boxes of cigars a year, whilst the preced- 

 ing one for 80,000 remains still in force.— Z.on-

Salt as a Manure.— Salt as a manure for 

 grass land.<, meadows, &c, has been used in all 

 parts of England, with varying success. It i? 

 said to sweeten the herbage, and when sprinkled 

 about and over a portion of pastures, cattle, 

 sheep, and horses will immediately repair to this 

 salted portion in preli^rcnce to any other part of 

 the field. It evidently therefore renders grass 

 more palatable to live stock, and upon consult- 

 ling the old agricultural writers, it was found 

 that the notices of salt as a manure were many 

 and important, nnd that it has been used in vari- 

 ous agricultural operations from a very early pe- 

 riod. Salt renders the earth capable of absorb- 

 ing the moisture of the atmosphere, "a inopeity 

 of the first importance since those soils which 

 absorb the greatest proiiorlion of the moisture 

 from the atmosphere, are always the most valua- 

 ble to the cultivator." 



Itsferlilizinj! properties, when applied to lami, 

 may be descrilied as five in number; 



1st. In small proportion it iiromotcs the de- 

 composition of animal and vegetable subslan- 



ces. 



2d. It destroys vermin and kills weeds, which 

 ore thus converted into manure. 



3(1. It is a direct constituent, or feed of some 

 plants; audit has been clearly ascertained that 

 if sail is applied to a soil, the vegetables after- 

 wards growing on, are found to contain it in 

 increa.sed proportions. 



4th. Salt acts upon vegetable substances as a 

 gliinulunl. 



5th. »=alt preserves vegetables from injury by 

 sudden triiusitions in the temperature of the at- 

 mosphere. That soils do not freeze so readily 

 as usual, when salt is applied to them is vyell 

 kuown ; and that salt preserve.- crops of turnips, 

 cabbage, &.e. fiom injury by the frost, is equally 

 well established. — Johnson. 



A Gooi. Husband —When you see a young 

 limn nnMli!st and letiiiiig in bi.-f manners, who 

 cares lens about dress than his moral character, 

 d.'peml upon it ladies he will make an exccfleiit 

 huxlMind. if you see one who is kind and at- 

 tentive to his mother, all'ectionale to his sifters, 

 indiiBlrioiis in his habits and economical in his 

 l)ll^ille^s, rest assured, you have liiiind one of 

 whom voii will ne\er be ashamed. 'I'lie ball 

 roi'tn is" no place to find a husband, the fiishiona- 

 al.le asMimbly is no place; it is in the letHemeiit 

 <if home, in the place of bii.^iness— where jou 

 can ftiKly character and disposition and where 

 ihe best is not put on liir effect or display. 



Maiiv a young woinaii sadly misses it who is 

 carried away by a bright look and a splendid 

 dri s!». The man who makes the most polite 

 biiw uiid is most giiweliil in his manners, is iiul 

 alwujullie most unliable person (in- a ImsbaniL 

 Look ut l!ic heart, study the character and learn 

 the disposition. 



Tlii're wasonce a heiiiilifid young hnly, beauti- 

 ful to look upon we mean, who turmil up her 

 pretty nose at a shoemaker and refused to ac- 

 knowledge a painter on the street, who finally 

 .•.narried a dashing I'cqi, the tson of u weallliy man. 



Spanish Tariff.— From statements referred 

 to'iii the Gin'a del Comcrdo, it appears that 

 contraband cotton goods are annually mtiuduced 

 into Spain to the amount of 815,000,000, or more 

 than .05,000,000 sterling; and on which the con- 

 -nmer pays 50 per cent over the first cost. 1 be 

 customs in Spain scarcely produce 75,000,(100 of 

 reals annually. If a regular duly of only ^0 

 per cent were paid paid on the amount of goods 

 llius introduced at the present day, the treasury 

 would derive fiom the customs alone a yearly 

 revenue of 1.59,000,000. " What a melancholy 

 state of thiniis!" observes the journal above 

 alluderl to. "We are every ilay seeking fljr re- 

 sources and means lo increase our revenue and 

 to ameliorate our condition, and we have them 

 within out reach : and yet we prefer allo\yiiig 

 contraband goods to annihilate us, and take from 

 us the small amount of si>ecie which still re- 

 mains in S|)ain!"

CoLTivATioN OF Peach Trees.— A great ma- 

 ny titriners usually let their l.each trees take 

 care of thein.selves,-that i.s, sui!er weeds and 

 orass to t'row round them, or to stand in mead- 

 ows, pastures, or grain fieUls. Potatoes, being 

 a low, hoed crop, have been found one of the 

 ,no.-t favorable; yet J. W. Thompson, ot Wil- 

 miiigtou, Del., who is well acquainted with 

 the management of the great peach orchards in 

 that state, says, "After the trees commence 

 bearing, no other crop of any kind should ever 

 be grown amongst them, as I have known two 

 rows of patatoKS between a row ot peach trees, 

 not only to affect the fruit, but seriously mjiue 

 the trees." He adds ihat they should be regu- 

 larly jilowed three or four times in the .season. 



A friend to humanity begs to inform the pub- 

 lic that, in the dangerous case of pins swallow- 

 ed by accident, swallowing one egg, undressed, 

 and ill Ihe course of an hour afterwaril, another, 

 is an iiilhllible remedy fiir carrying oti' the pins, 

 if done immediately, and before the puis have 

 worked llieiiiselves into Ihe coats of the stoni-
