Strawberries multiply rapidly during their growth, by runners from the parent'plant, which, rooting at every joint, form numerous new plants. ' To form new planta tions, these need only to be removed to the bed where they may flourish. This work may be done early in au tumn or early in the spring ; the former is best. If done in autumn, care should be. taken that the plants are not thrown out by frost, especially on heavy soils. This may be prevented by treading the soil closely around the roots before the ground becomes frozen. Such beds wUl bear some fruji the summer following the transplanting, and wiii furnish an abundant suppry the second season. ' The alpinesjroduce well in one year.,, r ; . ; y4; . , t Soil and Situatian.Thi best soil for the Strawberry is a deep rich loam, though it will succeed and bear on aby soil which is fertile." The situation should be open, and well exposed to light and air. . It succeeds very well when, planted in single rows as edgings. The alpine and wood strawberries may be placed m a more shady situation than the others ; it. is during hot and dry sea sons of the year that they are intended chiefly for bear ing. 1 iThey are consequently well adapted to edgingsibf shrubbery. When the soil is rich, the advantages of em ploying strawberries for edging is great, as theysucceed iu such soils much better when in single rows than when crowded together in a bed. , - ; . . General Culture. A. very general error is" to plant too near together ; espesiallyfthe Boil be fertile: Thorough culture iS by far the best at the same "time that it is ulti mately the cheapest method. It is true that on common rich "garden soils a bed may be transplanted which, will proauee nne truit and good crops with little care after once prepared ; we have known beds to yield plentifully almost untouched for years, not even haying been weed ed, the-thick growth of the strawberry keeping down, in a great measure, every thing else. ; But by the following tjnorouga mode, or one practiced by Keen of Islesworth in England, who first raised the celebrated variety known Mj Keen's, seedling, the greatest amount of fruit may doubtless be obtained for the care and labor inrW hrhlle;the quality Is greatly superior. S The soil for this uivuc o miure suouio be ploughed or trenched, deep, and mixed with decomposed stable manure ; if the sub soil be somewhat sterile, it should not be, thrown to thm surface. . The ground should be nrenared at least a month before transplanting. " The best way, says Keen, to obtain new plants, is, by planting out runners in a nurse ryi for the express purpose, in the previous season ; for it Is a very Bad plan to supply new plantations with old plants. The distances' of the rows asunder are about two feet, and eighteen incbrttja the row for die large varieties, as, Methvea and Keen's seeding ; the smaller varieties -rnay be a jiule nearer. This distance may seem too great, but it is necessary for sun, air, and cul turt.S "These large distances " says Keen,4 I find ne cessary ; for .the. trusses of fruit in mv srarden prouni ar frequently a foot long.'l This fact is a sufficient proof tl the' excellence of his mode of culture.. After the beds are planted, I always keep them as clear of weeds as possible, and on no account allow any crop to be plant ed between the rows. Upon the growing of the runners I have cut when necessary ; this is usually three tlmes in esch season.; In tha autumn I always have the tows dai between? fori find it reffevh th nlanta material.. I ly,nd I recommend to those persons to whom it may be va.turw,io acauer in me spring, very light!y4some loose straw between the rows. It serves to keep the ground- nfoist; enriches the strawberry, and 'thus, by m Utile extra, trouble and cost, a more abundant crop may. bf .obtained A short time before the crop. ripens, I al ways CUt off the runners.' to trnrfhen th root nrf after the fruit is gathered; I have what fresh runners have been made; taken ioflf by ' a reaping hook; together with u ouuiae javcs aroona toe mam p;ant, atter which I r?ke the beds, then hoe them, and rake them again, la the autumn, unless lbs plants appear very strong, I have some duag du between the rows but if they are very rxwrajt the'dung is not required for ia some rich soils rt would cause the plaou to turn nearly all to teat I tuve a.so to remark, that the dung u3ed"for manure, oou.d not be too ar spent ; fresh dung from the stable w epii oung. which many persons choose."

' We copy torn the Richtnond HeraldJ the followinj i de scriprion of Wilmington, North jCarolhu;ontainins an account of. distaiii Turpentines WM ; Wilmington, the principal seaport of North Carolina, stands on a sand bank, on the river Cape Fear, aboit,30 miles from' the Atlantic OceaoT A few years siijce it waa nearly consumed hy fire.' The buildings are mostly feew and quite scattered. Its population is about 6.000. It has the appearance of being a thrifty and growing place. ; Its principal exports aret turpentine and lurhber. .The'distillation of turpentinef employs a considerable capital. Eight large distilleries are kept in constant op eration one of these asing 20Cj barrels of turpentine a day. , .A large still, with its appurtenances, costs 83000. Into it from 40 to 50 barrels of iturpefttine are emptied. The nrocessbf distillation Iocs not vary materially from that of rum. - The condensing tubis supplied with water from the river, by means of a; small; wind-mill.- The spirit escapes from, the .worm in; a considerable sluice. About six hours are requisiti ta; run bfl the contents of a laree still.. The best turpentine yields seven gallons of spirit to the barrel ; but the mostjinfenor.quality not more than three gallons. Good turpentine .costs 2 per bar rel, and the spirit sells readily at 33 cents a gallon, and rozin', which is the portion "of he turpentine remaining after the extraction of the spirit, a from 75 cents to $1 per barrel J. Eight hundred banelrbf turpentine ajel dai ly distilled in Wilmington about two-thirds of thevhofe amount brought to this markei-j yielding not less than 4000 gallons of spirit. " ThTs branch of business is pros pering. Considerable wealth has been realised.by those who first engaged in it, notwithstanding some severe losses have been sustained by fires.i s . p J The lumber business, is, probably, of greater impor tance to the place than the; turpentine. Tbere are seven, or more, large steam saw-mills constantly employed in cutting plank. 1 The one whiclj I visited cost 14.000, and employs 20 hands. It has two timber frames! and cuts 15,000 feet of plank dailyi The average value of the timber needed to furnish this mill is $100. ; At this time the lumber supplied by these mills meets a ready sale. Several vessels' were lying-in ihe driver, waiting their turn to be loaded. Some five schooners were at the wharf, receiving freight as the lumber was sawed. v There was a time, it is heliejved, when men seeking fame," with inability to come at! in any other way, would commit some dreadful crime, arid thus become notorious, i jt i -j iuu uraw targe concourses 10 incir inai ana eiecqiion. That age has past ; and air who have any inclination in that way, now a -days, had better the save the Sheriff the little trouble of building a gallows and buying a rope ; tor the gratification can only be in proportion to the trou ble caused, and that is small. The day is rapidly ap proaching, (and in degree nowjis come,) when despera does will be swung off like farmers hang wolves and sheep-killing dogs,, which aref soon, forgotten.

They amounted to several hundred,"and never shall I forget the brutality with which their discipline was attached. The drill sergeant appeared to be the most hard-hearted exactor of the exactest mi nutia) connected with the business that can well be imagined. He was armed with a cane about five feet in length, and seemed to consider that it was solely grown to be applied, to the. unholy purpose of flogging his fellow creatures ; be marched through the ranks, scrutinized every sol dier, with most malignant diligence, and if any one's musket was not found to be in an orthodox position, down came the cane with the vehemence with which brute force and brutality could inflict it. And then I saw kicking of ther shins because the legs and feet were not in risht order : I turned away from the disgusting specta cle, vhich 1 understood is repeated dkily." From the North State Whig. FARMER'S SONG. In summer days I till the ground. And work and toil to get my bread ; No interval can then be found Between my labor and the bed ; My wife declines to knit at night. And I to read by candle light. But when the South receives the sun . Beyond the equinoctial line. When all my summer's work is done, Substantial pleasures then are mine ; My wife begins to-knit at night And I to read by candle light. !' I'm then content and never sigh. Nor fly from home some bliss to find ; My wife is pleased as well as I ; It so completely feasts her mind To sit her down and knit at night, . And bear me read by candle light. For when I read she always hears, And wbarshe hears sheTrTes to scan ; When aught to her obscure appears. Then 1 explain it if I can.
