The crop til year is rtill Uiur.snJbs thicks equal to 45 bo?hels to tbo Acre," Ia r.eajurin, lie half bushel was heaped constJenUy. Tit secret of jtrowinj such a crop, where il bid been considered Useless for yean before to Riake'ths attempt, is very important, and new isaJe public by Mr. B.'s pemiisjion. This is it: The soil is a rruiit ic, dark -colored loam, based Vpoa a hard ran of com. pactly cemented Rrayel. lie commenced tifon four and a half acres in the spring of ljtP, abd by hard scrapinjr, gof three or four loads of manure to the acre, to which he added 50 barrels of fish and 35 bushel of shell lime, and then cut the plow up to the beam, and harrowed and plowed again and planted com. The yield was 46 to 50 bushels to the acre. As soon as rine enough to cut Dp, he removed the corn and manor ed with 1 8 ox-cart loads to the acre, (say one and a half tons to a load,) of compost, made of sea muck, road wash, sods, wee!, leaves, and every substance that will decay, even bushes, and of course, all the butch er's offal, bones, and stuS from the kitchen, fee. He plowed and harrowed heavily, and sowed in. ScBtem ber, one and a half bushels of rye to the acre, and har rowed in smooth. Upbn half an acre which every body said was so poor it would not sprout rye, he put 100 pounds of Kuano, and this made a bigger growth than the remainder. After' the ground froze, so be could cart orer it, he put upon each acre six loads of compost, as a top-dressing, to prevent Wjntrr-killing. At harvest, the straw was generally seven feet high, and sold, after threshed, for seven tons, bringing 112, besides what he used, from the four and a half acres. The grain weighed 56 pounds to the even bushel,.' The stubble was turned tn with ten loads of manure to (he acre, and sowed with a bushel and three pecks of seed, and afterwards top-dressed with six loads. The growth, last spring, was so rank it was necessary to feed it off, "ana the present crop is the wonder and ad miration of that part of the country, demonstrating as it does, that the land had not ruiiout tot rye it was a i a . only the owners who nnd run out or common sense, and expected crops without expending money or lahor , to fertilise or till before planting the seed. One manwho had been a farmer 80 years, came several miles to see what he had never teen before", a crop of rye that would yield 30 bushels to the acre. . How many Rhode Island farmers will be induced by this account to put in a crop In the same way this sea son f Perhaps not one, except It be some book farmer from New York city, like Mr. D., who was laughed aL for supposing he could grow rye and corn upon thar poor old worn-out farm. i " ' Assyrian Discoveries.

The annals of Sennacbanb in this inscription extend over seven years, and a cylinder has been met with which gives the e- vents of two years more.
