thered, and one gentleman, from Norfolk, in- 

 formed ns that he had, during the last season, 

 sold the produce of a little place hardly more 

 than a "truck patch," for $2,500, to a man, 

 who came and gathered it for the Baltimore 

 market. 



With respect to apples too, the very best pip- 

 pin we know, is grown in the county of Albe- 

 marle. Those who buy and sell are the best 

 judges of an article, and our next door neighbor, 

 Mr. Bonavita, tells us, that he will pay fifty 

 cents in the barrel more for the Albemarle pippin 

 than for any northern apple he can get. The 

 truth is, the flavor of southern is incomparably 

 superior, as well it may be, to northern fruit, and 

 yet thousands of dollars annually pass out of 

 this State for northern apples. Our farmers are 

 not aware to what an extent the apple business 

 is carried. American apples are now exported 

 to every part of the world, and we understood 

 that one merchant in Boston, alone, was desirous 

 to contract for thirty thousand dollars worth of 

 apples. 



We hope these remarks, which apply with 

 even greater force, perhaps, to our friends farther 

 south, will have the effect of arousing attention 

 to a subject now most wofully neglected.

TO ERADICATE CORNS. 



Take a small piece of flannel which has not I 

 been washed, wrap or sew it. around the corn \ 

 and toe. One thickness will be sufficient. Wet ! 

 the flannel where the corn is, night and morning, j 

 with fine sweet-oil. Renew the flannel weekly, I 

 and, at the same time, pare the corn, which will 

 soon disappear. — Leeds Intelligencer, 



NEWSPAPER LAW. 



The law is, and so the courts decide, that the 

 person to whom a paper is sent is responsible 

 for the payment, if he receive the paper or make 

 use of it, even though he never subscribed for 

 it. His duty in such a case is not to take the 

 paper from the office or place where it is left, but 

 to notify the publisher that he does not wish it. 

 If papers are sent to a post office, siore, tavern, 

 or other place, and are not taken by the person 

 to whom they are sent, the postmaster, siore or 

 tavern-keeper, &c. is responsible for the payment 

 unless he immediately gives notice to the pub- 

 lisher that the}' are not taken from the office or 

 place where they are sent.

OUR THIRD VOLUME. 



We are happy to greet so many of our old 

 acquaintances, who have already renewed their 

 subscriptions to the Planter. Notwithstand- 

 ing our large increase during the last j 7 ear, and 

 the consciousness of having labored diligently 

 to deserve the patronage bestowed upon us, the 

 extreme hardness of the times, and the fall of 

 cotemporaries around us, caused us to look for- 

 ward to the taking up of a new subscription 

 with fear and trembling. The staunchness of 

 our friends has, in a great measure, relieved our 

 anxiety, but we have received the adieus of 

 many old and valued acquaintances, some of 

 the very earliest subscribers to the paper. In 

 every instance, we have parted with feelings of 

 the most cordial kindness mutually cursing the 

 " times" which separated such good friends. — 

 We have never received more high wrought en- 

 comiums than have been bestowed upon us by 

 individuals requesting us to discontinue the pa- 

 per; we were much flattered by their estimate 

 of the work, and only regretted that it did not 

 quite equal their esteem for a dollar. 



We once thought it impossible that there 

 could be a man in Virginia, who could read and 

 write, that could not afford to pay a dollar for a 

 paper devoted to his profession ; but we are now 

 satisfied that there are many zealous and spirited 

 farmers, who feel it iheir duty to confine their 

 expenditures to the absolute necessaries of life; 

 from such we part with great reluclance, hoping 

 that more propitious times will soon justify a 

 renewal of acquaintance. 



Those who know any thing about our mat- 

 ters, know, that we have never received any
