If we have not misapprehended public sentiment, an opinion has long existed, at least in many parts of our SUte, that a publication of this nature was properly to be expected from the site ot its Uni versity, the express purpose of which is to culti- Tate and diffuse valuable and practicable knowl- edge, as it is already treasured up, and is constant, ly increasing with the progress of time. To conduct such a paper, w ill require the whole time, talent, and diligence ol an Editor that will rank high in ability. For some time past we have been intent upon discovering • gentleman of tiiis description who might consent to undertake it— Such a character, we fully believe, has lieen hajw pilT found in Mr. Wiujaii Chittendkn, by profes sion an advocate in the City of New-Vork. lie is originally of our •outherii country, being a na tive'of Virginia, and having been educated in one the Colleges of that State.

From Uns'’ll'''? artirle publication can be commenced, prov7ot?® seriliers can be obtained, for the first two v2? If these terms, then, shall be eftecU d within a few Weeks, we shall make the necessary dispooitiona as speedily as possible, and the issue of our first number will give notice of the beginning of the year for which the subscription is made. It is a common complaint with the publishers of periodical works, that punctuality in remittance IS less apt to be consulted in this than in most oth- er species of business. The one now proposed, we can assure the public, will be wholly without profit to anr one, except the necess.-iry remune. ration to the editor, and to those he shall employ for tJie nifchanical execution of the work. Wc set up no claims lo the credit of liberality in mak ing sacrilict s. Hut should the present plan pass into operatiim, we think it not improbable that e. mergencies may easily happen, calling upon ua imperiously to aid the estsWishment through diffi. cultics. With the certainty that we are to derive from it no emolument, we cannot balance an equal certainty that we may not sustain pecuniary loss. A periodical paper in all its uiovtments luunt by the very terms run against time, and every expe. rienced and reflecting man knows the truth ex- prtssed by Dr. Johnson, that lie who enters the IisU with time for his antagonist, must toil with diligence not to find himself beaten. Every one who favors the Harbinger with his patronage, we hope will do it with prcscnce of mind to the im. purtance of fidelity in his remittance. POETKA.

Indian corn being an important produc tion of our soil, and extensively grown by our farmers, it is desinible that we shtwld atuin the mode of cultivating it, al the same time most ea(>y and most productive. To coulribute soinotliing to this end, I shall malio some observations on tho best mode of cultivating this grain, and point out some errors into which 1 conceive many of wf liuniors have fallen with regard to it. " o ascertain the proper mode of cuUure for any plant it is necessary to examine into its na- 4 ture ami qualities, and the kind vS soil to * which it is be-st adapted, and we should pro- * coed accordingly. The want of pro|»er at- ^ tcntioii to this rule, has produced much wiM J theory and bad practice in agriculture.— * The com plant requires a loose alluvial soil # to bring it to its greatest perfection, wen should therefore in preparing ground for itaE r*:ception render it as light and mellow a» possible, ploughing as deep as the nature o(B the soil will admit; harrowing the gmuoM previous to planting is advantageous in hard^ cliKldy soils, but is not generally nccesMrj.^ 'I'he seed should be deposited in furrow*'^ struck as deep as the ground is pkMighed,^ and lightly covered with kxwe earth ; if loo^ much earth is thrown upon ft there is dan-“ ger of its rotting in cold wet weather, whicll'v sometimes succeeds the seai*no of plantuig.'' By this mode of planting, the plants aro'V more firmly fixed in tlie earth, the root* * striking deep, draw a greater supply of ’ nourishment to support them, they are lifcB- wiso more secure from drought which oftea proves very destructive to the com crop; the stalks will not generally grow as tall as those which arc planted superficitlly, but are thicker and stronger and produce larger ears. 'I'he best pnicess of cultivation iflw lliat which will preserve a level surface, and most effectually destroy the weeds. Thi« IS most cfTectually done by drawing a larg* harrow over the rows, (the depth of the furrows will preserve the plants from inju ry.) The weeds should be carefully re moved, and the furrows filled up around tbo plants as they become large enougfc to bea» it. Ifthisoperationia well done, (and muchf. of the success of the crop depends upon il« beiug so) one ploughing will be su^ienl ; . in doing this, the earth should be ihniwn *' to the corn, but care should be taken not to ridge it, which is very injurious, as it carries off the rain from the com which re- quires a plentiful supply of moisture, aspe- cially when earing. substitution has ueen made ,t “.T I a perinci.rtjs elKct. i’he butte‘s “ u 1 1 ju^t skimming the suHace, aod plaot- does not keep so well |o«a iti | ing their seed almost on the top of the ftivor, and acqmres rather a t ^-eni.

In a word, he whs fowl of tell ing very large stories. Being aware that he carried this pnictice to a sjmewhat un warrantable length, he coinmisnioiied his favorite black man, Cudjo, to give him a hint whenever he found him stretching the truth too much. One day dining in company with sundry other gentlemen, he told some prodigious large stories; and, among the rest, of a fox he had killed, which had a tail twenty yards long. Honest Cudjo thought this was quite too extravagant; and as he stood behind his master’s chair, he gave him a nudge. “ Twenty did I say 1 Perhaps I’m a ht- tie loo fust. But ’iwas all of fifteen.” Cudjo gave him a second nudge. “ Eh I—let me see. Twas ten at least.” A third nudge. “Twas every inch of five.” A fouth nudge. “’Twas three, any bow.” A fifth nudge. The sjiortsman took all these hints in good part until he received the last; when thinking his story was alrtiady cut down quite enough, he turned wKlden'ly to his ser vant and exclaimed—“ Why d n it Cudjo, wont you let my fox have any tail.” N. 1.
