received, highly utfousive. It was with much
difficulty that either party could keep then

while it was going on, the sailors were endeav*

the bits of silk from the legs of the pigs. If,
however, it he difficult—us most difficult we
found it—to P ut a bog in mourning, it is a job
ten times moie troublesome to tako him out
again. Such at le tts t is the fair inference from
these two experiments—the only one perhaps
on record—for it cost half the morning to undo
what we had effected in less than an hour, to
Bay nothing of the unceasing and outragious up

of the voungest pigs hud wedged themselves,

to the degradation of being deprived ol their
mourning. All this was very creditable to tlio
memory of noor Shakings; but, in.the course
of the day, tho real secret of this extraordina

Some wore sent to sit on the lop-mast cross-

been for the officers to have said nothing about
tlio matter, and let it blow by; but angry pooplo
are seldom judicious—so they made a formal
complaint to the captain, who, to do him jus
tice, was not u little puzzled how to settle Ihe
affair. The reputed author, however, was
culled up, and tho captain said (ohim,‘Pruy,

Pie Plant.—Thera are several varieties of
Rhcubnrb cultivated in Groat Britain, for cu
linary purposes. The leafstalks are extensive
ly used for pies, tarts. See. Its cuhuro for
market was commenced (here about 1815, and
how it is said that more than one hundred acres
of land are appropriated to its culturo in the
neighborhood of tha metropolis. Wilmot, tho
strawberry gardener, sends it by loads to Con-
voni Garden market.—It is coming into gen
oral notice and culturo among us.
This plant is raised with vory little trouble,
being a perennial, and is one of the earliest
vegetables afforded by tho garden. Hall
dozen plant*, growing at two feet each way,
-i will supply a family. It is propagated by seeds
or offsets. I have it early in April, by a little
oxira labor. I place barrels, having one or no
head, over a few stools, or plants-in March,
and cover and surround them with recent sta
ble manure. The heat thus generated causes
the plants to grow; and the light not having
access, the stocks become beautifully blanched,
and soon teach the top of the cask. The ac'd
of the Rheobarb is very similar in flavor to
that of the gooseberry. J. B.

Salmon of the Columbia River.—We saw a
number of casks of pickled salmon landing from
the brig Owyhee, taken on board at Columbia
river on the North-West Coast. Our atten
tion was attracted towards them, by the uncom
mon size of the fish, boing tho thickest, fattest,
and heaviest we ever saw—surpassing those of
tho Labrador and Newfoundland, and weigh
ing in their pickled state, from 10 to 25 pounds
each,. perfectly sweet and fine flavored, al
though they had been purchased on the river,
of the natives, upwards of ton months, and have
since twice crossed tho equator. Their having

taken by the Indians with drag nets, made by
themselves. They are hauled to tho shore in

Cultivation of Sugar.—Judge Martin, in
his Histo.y of Louisiana, slates that a circuni-
stance-purely accidental, and in itself, altogeth
er insignificant, was the means of introducing
iho cultivation of Sugar Cane in that country:—
“Two hundred recruits arrived from France
on the l7ih April, for ihe completion of the
quota of troops allotted to the province.- The
King’s ships in which they were embarked,
touched at the Cape, in the island of Hispani
ola, where, with a view of trying with what
success ihe sugar cane could be cultivated on
the banks of die M'snusippi, the Jesuits of that
island were permitted to ship to their breihren
in Louisiana, a quantity of it. A number ol
negroes acquainted with the culture and man
ufacture of sugai, came in the floet. The
canes were planted on the land of iho fathers
immediately above the city, in the lower part
of the spot now known ns tho suburb St. Mary.
Before this time, the front of the plantation
had been improved in 'he raising of the myr
tle wax shrub; die rest was sown with indi
go.”
New Process of Distillation.—We shall
make room for an inteiesting article from “Tim
London Literary Gazette of March,” giving
curious discovery made by Mr. Robert Hicks.
It pruceqijs upon tho principle, that all vegen-
ble substances susceptible of the vinous for*
mentation [substances containing saccharine
matter,] give out n certain volatile aroma,
which contaius alcohol in the state of gas.—
Condense it and the gas becomes spirit. Now,

doubt feel some solicitude for the fate of this
institution, erected by the State at so great un
expense ami kopt up against an increasing cur
rent of unpopularity. Wo give ihe followum
av ihe views which wiil probably govern in tin
measure, taken previous to the next meeting
of the Legislature.
1. The Executive has in this matter a very
simple duty to perform. To see that the com
victs under sentence receive die award otihi
law. The destruction of the buildings mat
change the diieciion of labor but cannot jusm
fy any abatement in thp sentences.
2. The duties of the Inspectors must cor.
respond in direction with those of the Execu
bye. The measures taken relate to things at
they are. The employment of the convicts
must vary-from the inteniion of the framers ol
die Penal Code, but the sentence to labor in
ihe Penitentiary will he executed.
3. The first object to bn accomplished
the prevention of escapes, the next to shnltci
and protect .ho convicts. These are attempted
to be accomplished by the use of fetlors under
an increased guard till such lomporaiy means
of confinement as are in reach shall be perft ct
ed.
4. Tho building of ono hundred and fifty
colls for the separate confinement of convicts
will not be suspended and tho tabor of the con
victs will, according lo thu inteniion of ihe
legislature, be direcied to this object. T* nr
purary work shops will be erected fur the ear
ploymeut of some, so that a short suspension
only ol their labors will be suffered.
5. The building in progress fur cells is in'
tonded to be of great strength aud fire-proof—
built not to shew hut for use.
This accident places before tho community
with peculiar force a question much agitated
from time to time among us. Is il not best to
