IMPROVEMENTS IS AGRICULTURE. : We hare endeavoured to conduct nr reader through with the prucesa of making another crop, in which we have accommodated our advi see to the established tastes and customs ol the day. Wo eould hate wished to hare done some, vbirt; better; our system are) wrong, having their origin under circumstance, and being-jus? lined bj measures, which are ceasing to exist All our plane and usage heretofore, bare pro needed upon the supposition that it wJ easier and batter to clear new land than to reclaim old. Those preferences wen indulged, when the que. . tioa was at our option, when new lands were at baud and easily obtained. But little restraint baa been thrown upon the exercise of this pri. vileg by planters at the South and West, from the earliest settlement of the eouutry to the pre, nt time. Thar seemed to hf no end to our . ,1 it . i i a i ! new territory. iiut now, tu tup least rvuecmiB; mind it ia obvious that we bare at last reached a period which seemed t have lain far elf in the distance. - Our last new territory is obtained, and ia already beginning to show the effect of jsrear and tear. Hkal note, t fo 6 done is the gualitm. It is to this consideration, that we impose to devote lew of our thoughts, andto This would w call in the aid of those who are alike interested, to join in thi important enqui ry. It is a stupendous work to reform, remodel and change our long indulged Systems and hab. its ef culture, and we almost despair of its ac. eompllshmcnt. jTo despair, is however, to yield to certain ruitj. Bud ssour salvation, as planters is suspended upon the issue, we enter into it investigation, hoping that light mat beam upon the pathway, as we progress, and that onr small beginnings, in the way of reformation and Im provement, may be crowned with success.' .Nei ther our fears nor our despondency have result ed from any absolute impracticability, but from the g.-owii g propensity, as lands have become eshausted, to Increase the number of acres to be planted, and to keep up the aggregate crops by this process of extension, rather than by iin proving the fertility of the soil. This process must lead on from Dad to worse, until at no dis. tanl day, we must have our vast waste of worn out fields.' This is the constant tendency of our systems of planting, snd it is in view of such a vast surface of skinned and ruined lands, that ur despondency arises. While twenty or thirty acres to the hand are to be planted in oorn and t cotton, who can hspe ior improvement, even if ;j- compost heaps stood as thick as the pine trees ' all around your. fiMils! . Where ia the time to spare, and the teams for carting so much heavy manure, even the distance of half a mile, to spread broad cast over so large a spaeef ; Words, nor science, nor anything short of a great deal . af bona ide work, can accomplish it. Mnke out your own estimate, and see bow much for a sin. gle acre, how much for the twenty, for one hand; run your calculations on the space, to beoccupi. ed by fifty or one hundred hands, ujon the broad acre plan, snd yna will be startled at the amount. But their compost heaps are no: there, nor can tbey he provided1 without much labor and pains-taking, such as will not be found on many plantations, f '"" ' ": ''; It is manifest, therefore, that we must either change our plans, or work hard nil the year, for little more than a support- We must confess that there lie out in the future, results flowing from our plans of culture, which have mora hnr. furs to our mind than we have ever felt from all the ghosts and goblins which abolitionism has ever been able to eonjure up. ' We must change our plan ; if we do not, some of our children will see the day when food ami elothes will be considered pretty fair hire for their negroes. But we are not without hope that a ehange can and will b made. How this is to be certainly dnne, w cannot now undertake to any in detail. We have intimated that the great difficulty was in the large number of acres sought to he culti. vated. To reduce these, is, in our estimation, the starting point, making the area to be cover, ed less, and its improvement practicable. The ssme crop may be had from one acre of highly manured land, which would be produced from three impoverished acres, and lands thus enrich, ed, where the work was broad cast, would not lose that benefit for many years. This point is conceded and therefore need not be argued, Here then ie the demonstration of what can be done, and here lies out one ' of the ways of es. cape from the ruin which we have depicted. It may be eery practicable to euricb one acre, when we should be utterly unable to do thesamj" for three time as much. We sot out. then, with this f zed fact, that renovation and improvement are to be accomplished, by the large reductions ' ef the quantity of land to be cultivated, and p'Q pose by enriching Una, to keep up the aggregats amount of the crop, by increased productions, sad to improve the fertility of the anil, by mak ing such Contributions of fertilising matter, a shall be more than sufficient fur the demands of a single crop. - A this plan contemplates so much lee land to be cultivated, very ample time will be allowed for accomplishing these improve, menu, by the surplus laborers on the farm. We do not propose tu exclude the benefits of rotation, but insist on them, with the turning in of green crops, and every other auxiliary, fur all will be needed, and all must be relied upon for saocees, . Nor would we forget the prectu tionary measures, to bold In to our gains, when once acquired. The gullies must lie stopped, the waters all cut off by ditching and horizontal ! and very deep plowing. The-outlets must be closed, that nothing be lost After sit this shall l: have been done, the drainage of the land must not be overlooked ; there is more mischief bid ' away under the surface, in the stagnant water, which underlies a large portion of our land, than wo have any conception jf. These and m iny more are the obstacles to be removed, and the remedies to be applied. . -; . .'; .,. . Such revolutions or not to be accomplished by a single effort, nor in a single year. . The first thing tu be done, is, to resolve upon making the change, and then shape but. the arrange ment for it accomplishment, gome sacrifices may be domanded in the beginning, hut large and permanent gains will follow. 'Ibis is th necessity which bs been forced upon all eoun. tries as they have grown obi, and sneh is being laid upon us.

' We copy from an English Maguine the fol lowing narrative of an encounter with a tiger in the jnnglcs of India, It is evidently written by an officer of the British Army, and is both affecting and interesting : , I bad never before seen anything in the shape of a tiger, and was struck dumb with astonish, ment Not so bit little Moor boy; he was the son of a famous shikaree, and I believe had never seen a tiger any more than myself. Ho had of. ten heard his tether talk of his exploits among the wild beasts of the forest ) he knew me to be a GratBo, and hi little heart swelled with the proud consciousness of superior skill in wood, craft. Suppose master please, "r said he, drawing himself up, assuming an airof much importance, " I show sahib how to kill that tiger ; I know very well OHrraA thikar business. In my simplicity, I looked upon the daring little imp who talked thus confidently of killing a 'panther, with a degree of respect almost amounting to awe, and without hesitating, put myself under his guidance. According to bis diroctiont. I extracted the shot from my gun, and loaded it with some bullet which I happen, ed to have in my pocket. " Now, then," exclaimed my young shikaree, as he placed sis behind the (belter of a large etone directly in front of the cave" Now then, I show sahib bow to make the tiger come. Sahib make a tiger eat plontjs balls that proper shi' kar business." - O-j - So saying, hs marched directly up to the en trance of the cave and begun to " pelt the tiger with stones, abusing bim at the same time in chnioe Huidostanee slang. Sure enough, this did make the tiger come with a vengeance. The enraged brute, ottering a shrill roar, darted from the cave, seised the boy by the back of his neck, threw him over bis shoulder, and rushed down the hill like a thunderbolt. My blood curdled at the light, Lu I instinctively fired, and I suppose, hit the beast, for he instantly dropped the boy, who rolled into a dark ravine at tho footof the hill... The panther having dis appeared in a neighboring jungle, I descended into the ravias to look after poor little " Khe' der." There be lay weltering in his blood, dreadfully mtnRled, and evidently in a dying state, but still quite sensible. The gallantlittle fellow never ottered a complaint, but fixing his large black eyes steadily on my countenance, as if he could there read his fate, asked in a fuint voice for some Water. I was stooping down to collect some in my hat wbon I wss started by a sorry growl, and the noise of some animal snuf fing among the brushwood, which closed over my head, and almost excluded the light of the day. It was the panther who had returned. My first impulse was to fly and leave the boy to his fate ; but poor " Kbeder," seeing my intention, fixed his glassy eyes intently upon me with aaiin ploring look which cut me to the heart, and made me blush for very shame kneeling by his side, I rawed his head, wiped the bloody froth from his parched lips, and poured a few drops of cold water down his throat. This appeared to revive him. " - ' Ton hsve not killed the tiger, sahib," s.iid be, speaking in llindostanee; " I am sorry for that ; I should liked to have sent his skin to my father. But you will tell him, sahib, thnt I died like a shikaree. I was not afraid of the tiger I never cried out when I felt his teeth crunch, ing through my bones. No! I stuck my knif in him twice! Sec! that is tiger's blood!" and his glaring eyes flashed wildly for a moment, as he held up a bloody knife, which ho clutched firmly in his ruhthand. "Father will be pr iud to hear this, but my mother will cry very much, and her heart will turn to-water when she hears that l am dead." And here for the first time the hot tears began to trickle down bis cheeks. For a few minutes be remained motionless, with his eyes dosed, and the big drops stealing slowly and silently through the long silken eye.lashes. But sua. denly starting up, with his eyes bursting from their sockets, and gasping painfully for breath, be screamed as if in a fit of delirium- - ' The tiger has seised me agaiu ! Save me. Sahib, save met I feel his teeth in my throat; my breath is stopped ;" and he gasped like a person drowning his eyee turned in his head till nothing but the white was visible his jaws lecme firmly locked a cold shudder ran thro' his limbs, snd the gallant little " Kbeder" fell back in my arms a stiffened corpse. I was young then, and unused to death and that scene has made an impression on my mind which will never be obliterated. All this time, the panther continued to pace np and down tb edge of th ravine, nearly on a level with niy head, growling fearfully, ever and anon poking his snoutjinto the bushes, and snuffiing at me as if debating within himself Whether or not he should jump down. Finally, however, he left me. A still more energetic display of animal viva, city h s been given us by another traveller. A frightful scene occurred lately in tha4Tffa tre at Cserr ey, in Bohemia, during the perform ance of a melo drama, called the Bear of the Mountain, the principal performer in which was a Bruin of such wonderful docility and dramatic talent, that for a long succession of nights he attracted overflowing audiences. On this occa. sion, however, something had put this " star" ou t of humor, and he was observed to be wanting in those brilliant displays of the histrionic which bad previously overwhelmed him with applause. In thefhinl act, instead of coming down the mountain by winding path, with the " slow snd solemn step" "prescribed in the prompter's book, be alighted on the stage at one bound, like the descent of an aerolite. On his return behind the scenes he received reproofs, which instead of imploring, made hi temper still more sullen ; and it was with difficulty h could be prevailed upon to go through- is part,w--- - In the Inst scene he was induced to commence a waits with a young and beautiful peasant girl, and seemed tn take so much enjoyment iuthe dance. -that the whole audience gradually rose from their seats, snd standing on the benches, drowned the sound of a powerful orchestra with their acclamations of wonder and delight. n a moment however, the joyous spectnclewas chang ed into a seen of terror. A piercing shriek was heard through all the tumult, and theJove' ly dancer was seen whirled round with the ve. loeity of a Catherine. wheel, and discharged from her partner's arms head foremost into the pit, where, however, (he was caught by the audience without damage. . ; . The' next moment, thj stage lover of the pea sant girl, who had been coquetting in a dance in the distance, with a f;roup of ballets, advane. ed in the performance of bis part to waits with the bear. : The former catastrophe had been so rapid, that, though his danger was fully per. eeived by th audience, whose cries were loud to deter him. it was evidently unpereeived by the nnlucky lover. The bear was instantly en the qui vive, measuring him from top to toej and flinging bis legs around bim, began to waits with such extraordinary bounding, that the as. bminhed lover was soon whirled off his feet, and In another moment wo seen hurled to the top of a stage precipice, snd tossed into the surges below. Ths astonishment, now, however, was turned into consternation ; the bear wss seen dancing forward evidently pleased with bis own exploits, snd with bis motile broken, the mask hanging loose round his neck, and roaring fiercely. : .' .. 'I he whole audience now started on their feet, rolled aver each other, and in the attempt to escape, choked up the doors of pit, boxes, and gallery. The town police were now called in, firmed a Hrrle, sndeharsej tie bear with fixed layoneta. Firing was nut of the question, as the ballets which missed the bear must taks cf. feet upon the audience i hot the hern, though left alone, exhibited the adroitness of sducatioo, RALEIGH, NORTH C land the Intrepidity of his nature. A part oft his training bad been the platoon exercise, and su llenly knocking down a corporal of the guard with one paw. and selling hit ssnsket with the other, he threw bis cross belts over his back, and proceeded deliberately to prime and load. - The terror of the audience was now extreme, and shrieks were heard from every side, as he point, ed the muxxle towards the crowded pit L Th guard, which had regarded it as res markable eTbrt of city valor to have approached him at all, now widened their circle in all di rections, to a respectful distance from an anta' gonist armed alike with the ferocity of a savage nature and the weapons of civilisation, - But ths bear, already long accostomtd to military manceucers, ana Who had exhibited lately at St, Petersburg, iq the pantomime of the Battle of Pultowa, palpably took the fugitives for Swedish captives, aud picked out each of them from his hiding-place by a tender touch at the p dnt of ths bayonet In all their fright the audience roared with 1 mghtor ; it was evident that bis pantomimical recollections were still strong upon him, for he compelled every man. of bis captives to kneel down Upon the stage, stria off his ac. coutrements, and beg for bis life, - A Sourish of trumpets and drums should have followed this aequiyoeel viotory ; bn the or ohestra, half terrified Coat of their rives by the near neighborhood of the conqueror, hod forgot this J a t of their duty. Ths boar now advanced to ths front of the stage, growled fiercely at the ket 1 , drummer, and finding that his signal was not oboje 1, he made one mighty bound at the drum itself, and rolled it into the orchestra. All the performers now ran for their lives, desks were Jumbled down,- fiddles crushed, double bases shuttered into fragments, and the sons of Apollo biding themselves under their benches, scrambling over the rails, or making battle with , the fragments of their trumpet aud trombones, roared for help. t ! The aadience, who saw that he hod come so much nearer by th route of th orchestra, now tried to make their escape in every direction. Shriek and streams, roars and oaths, filled all parts of the theatre; but whether the bear thought that the operation was too tardy, or re. collected some of the old scenes of towns taken by storm, he bad no sooner prostrated th fid. dlers than he sprang gallantly into the pit. Here all was confusion worse confounded. Th rapidity of the flight equalled the terror of the momeut, and each was electric ; the bear stamp, in, bounding, and roaring with all the air of a conqueror ; and it was not until the theatre was completely cleared, and his roar had entirely subsided, that the city guard, gathered from the stage, made a lodgment ia the lobby. The com. mondcr-in.chicf made his approaches with the caution of science, and nothing eould be more deliberate than the courage with which he open, ed the door of the stage box. There he dis. covered that the bear had fallen asleep in the lap of victory, and, in fact, was snoring at full length oa one of ths crimson benches in the pit ' The cap'ain of the guard, distinguished in the city of Ciemy for his valor, at this crisis of af fairs, boldly ventured forward, and ordered his Elutoon to fire a volley at the sleeping monster ; ut before this eould be effect!, the keepers of the mcnagoria from which the animal had been borrowed, came in with ropes and nets, and were suffered to supesede the guard. The bear, very quietly followed his keepers ; and the au thorities of the city, on the plea that though boars miht make dangerous actors, Bohomian actors would make very good bears, published a proclamation against Bruin's future appear, ance. MURDER BY MISTAKE. The following homely and interesting narra tive is related in oue of the English magazines, it proves that dreams are not always to be disi regarded, and shows that there is sometimes a remarkably sympathetic connection between one's sleeping ideas and the wakeful motives of others. ' Five and twenty years ago, as I was returm ing home one evening from St Clare, I was overtaken by a storm. I was on horseback; and my horse, alarmed at the hail and lightning became restive, and refused to go a step in ad vance. I dismounted, and taking the reins, at tempted to urge tym forward, wheu fortunately I perceived lights ahead. I proceeded towards them, and at length reached a miserable bore'. Upon raising the latch, I discovered a man and woman cowering over a "wretched fire employed in weaving baskets. "OooJ evening to you, my friends," I said in a dialect of the country; but sorry weather this." The worthy citizens of the hut vast on me looks of anything but gracious, however that caused me but little concern. I asked them to make me a little room by their fire, assuring them 1 was willing to meet any expense I might incur, and' proceeded to throw a heap of fugots on the embers, without the slightest ceremony, "Do you take us for Inn keepers?" inquired the female, in a shrill angry tone. I look out my purse and gave her a five frano piece. The sight of the coin mollified het at once. "Ah I" said the horrid old witch, "I see you are a good gontleman and kind and she re. sunied her task- The storm, however, raged with unabated violence. The gale threatened tn carry away the hovel, and my horse stood neighing and pawing the ground under the shod where 1 had fastened him. It was idle to think of vontnrtng forth yet I eould scarcely ruolton up in finding a sleeping apartment in that mis. ernUe abode. , "Well, sir," said the woman, ''it would be a sod thing to go beyond the doors on such a night as this. We are but poor folks, and bare no bed worthy of such a gentleman ; but if you don't niiiKl going up there, (pointing to a ladder -and a kind of garret.) any rate you will be auie to Keep yoursett dry." Somehow the woman's looks didn't pleas me at all. However there was no help for it, be.

I then stretched my cloak on the worm eaten boards that composed the floor, and in spite of storm and wind, was soon fast asleep, y 1 Strange enough, bat I bad scarcely fallen a, sleep, when I must needs set about dreaming, I m igined myself snugly seated in this very e iiniiiey corner, with the girl of my hesrt st my side, when en a sudden I perceived surging high above her head a face must grixxly to behold. It was ths same that graced my gentle hostess of tho hovel. She had a hatchet in her hand, and madaas though to strike me.

"On getting to rh wharf, th first thing, th blacks of both sexes, in great numbers perfect ly naked, came swimming about the boat, and would dive fur small pieces of coin that wers throws them by the passengers.

Record has lately been making a tour through Canada, in the course of which he visited a large number of fugitive slaves at their residences, and eon, versed freely with them on their position and prospects. The tone of their remarks generally was that of disappointmsnt ut ths rac tun with which they bad met, and the estimation in which they were held in the oountry where they were sojourning. , They had been led to suppose by the abolition instigntors of their, escape from servitude, that in the British provinces thsy would find a home in whiuh they would be re garded as oitixans, with the same rights and ad. vantages, social and political, as wore enjoyed by th other inhabitants, This they found nut to be the ease, but, on tho contrary, they expe rienced indignities greater than any they had ever mat with in the States whence they had fled. Besides, the climate was ungenial to their tropical mste and habits," and their neighbors neglected no opportunity of taking advantage of their ignorance for purpusee of fraud and impo, sitisn. A'together, their situation was rever of desirable. The editor of the Record adduces the following as instances of the general feeling of regret st tb unsatisfactory ehange that their escape'to Canada had wrought In their condition) " Three declared that wore it not fear of pun. ishment, by being sold to Tozas and Mississippi slave dealers, they would gladly return to their " old plantations," and spend the remainder of their days with their old masters, where they wore more happy and lived easier than they do now.
