be talton lo sow eiirlv enough in the fall fiir the 

 plantsi to come up before the frost sets in." To- 

 wards tho cl(He of the same paragraph, he ob- 

 serves that till" tall sowinaf in EnarlanH is not so 

 elig-ible a« in the United State*, because '• nine 

 times out of ten their seed would come up, and 

 the plants would he destroyed before spring." 

 In one part of his instrnr tions, he incidcates the 

 necessity of the plants " comin:^ up in the fall ;" 

 anil in another part he deprecates their coming 

 Jip l)efore spring, l.'st they should he destroyed 

 by frost. Among the plants enumerated by Mr 

 Col'bett, as proper tor fall sowing, and which it 

 should seem must " come up before the frost sets 

 in," .Tre beets. 



But every gardener knows that the beet will 

 be destroyed, root and branch, by even a very 

 slight tVost. Calib4_L;es, parsnips, and carrots 

 will bear a trost, and the two last named almost 

 as well as the evergreens of the I'orest. iVIiller's 

 Gardener's Dictionary savs " To cultivate pars- 

 nips for the farmer, sow the seeds in autumn, snan 

 after it is ripe ; by which means the seed will 

 come early tiK; folloiving spring and get strong 

 before the weeds will grow so as to injure tlieni. 

 The young plants never matariallij suffer through 

 the severity nf the season.''^ 



The same writer states that he cultivated the 

 wild carrot for many years, but never could get 

 the seeds icliich zcerc sown in the spring, lo grow, 

 but that part of the seeds which he sowed in 

 the autumn came up well. The garden carrots, 

 lie says, '• are propagated at two or three dilTij- 

 rent seasons. The first season for sowing the seeds 

 is soon nftcr Christmas.^'' 



We have known potatoes which were over- 

 looked in gathering the crop, grow the next 

 season, and the produce appeared to be early 

 and aliundniit. But we have never he;irdofthaf 

 root's being jilanled in the fall with a view to an 

 eaily crop. We think it might be well for far- 

 mers and gardeners, especially for those in the 

 vicinity ol large markets, lo make experiments 

 on a small scale, of fall planting of potatoes, 

 cabbages, parsni|)s, carrots, and some otherveg- 

 etables, h Iiich it is desirable and would prove 

 protilable to bring forward early in the season.

The Election. — Keturns from 120 towns in Massa- 

 chusetts give 18,956 votes for the Adams ticket and 

 36G0 for the opposition. In Portland, .Me 600 votes 

 were given for the Adnms ticket, and 41c for the Craw- 

 ford. The Adams ticket has probably prevailed in 

 New Hampshire. — The Hon. Daniel Welistfer was ebc- 

 teil llepresentative to Congress for Suffolk District, 

 without opposition. In Middlesex according to the la- 

 test accounts which we have obtained, the votes in 16 

 towns -were for Everett 1529, Keyes 603, with r. few 

 scattering. In Essex South, it is probable that Mr 

 Crowninshield is re-eh-cled. — In New Hampshire lh( re 

 were twelve candidates from whom six were to be cho- 

 sen. We have beard from twelve towns only, which 

 gave Bartlett 1397. Webster 10H3, Miller 1074, Whipple 

 1051, Henderson r,65, \tkinson 526, l.ivermore 606,

Philadelphia Elfdion. — At the ekction in Pennsyl- 

 vania on Friday last, lor the choice of Presidential F.lec- 

 tors, four distinct lists were supported by the friends of 

 the several candidates. In the city of Philadelphia, 

 the .lackson ticket had 2266 votes, in the county 3480, 

 total 5746. The Adams ticket had in the city 1496 

 votes, in the county 531, total 2027. — The Crawford 

 ticket had in the city 608, county 542, total 115''. The 

 Clay ticket bad in the city 106 votes, county 91, total 

 197. Two small districts of the county are not includ- 

 ed in this statement. A plurality we believe is all that 

 is necessary to constitute a choice, hut there appears to 

 be no reason to doubt that the .Tackson ticket will have 

 a large majority over all the rest. 



Difficullies in the J^orlh West. — We learn that 

 fourteen persons in the employ of the Hudson's Bay 

 Company, have been lately killed by the Snake and 

 Beaver Indians, in the vicinity of the Rocky Mountains. 

 One of the Ibrts in which a .Mr Hughes, (son of Jas. 

 Hughes, Esq. of Montreal,) was the principal clerk, 

 was attacked, and every person belonging to it destroy- 

 ed. Those acquainted with the trade of that country, 

 look upon these facts as strong proofs of further serious 

 troubles. Canada paper. 



Colombia. — The- Colombian government has ordered 

 the construction of 50 gun boats, in such ports of the 

 republic as are best provided with the means of build- 

 ing them. The Congress has appropriated the sum of 

 $300,000 for the repair of the fortifications on the coast, 

 and to the construction of such other forts as may be 

 deemed necessary. 



Great Calf. — We were yesterday shown a Calf, own- 

 ed by Capt. Eliphalet Sampson, of Cornwall, in this 

 County, raised entirely from the milch of one cow, 

 which, when six months old, measured five feet one inch 

 girlb, and weighed seven hundred and twelve pounds.
