INDIAN CottN ON WORN OUT LAND.--In some parts or our country i bt.ms.heen said it ost more to raise indian Corn than it was worth, and the notion prevailed tat the land tmus, be strong, highly manured. well ploutthed and hured. or it would not produce !half te value of the labor bestowed upon it. It can be proved that worn out fields as they are called. can be made available even without manure,as an experiment ol the olid lowing kind has proved. Take the lielm as it lays, break it with a plough having n sharp conler, anl a share about the four th the siz and weight of the common plough phares, a furrow hoard which will follow the goulher edgeways. Iurnling the furrows over in somewhat a spiral formr. Wih thiis plough which requires only a single horse. plough a furow through the whole length of the field, and return with the plough on the side next to which the Furrow was iturned, throwimag up another fia rmw gainst the tsi. At Iuor reet from this, iplough anoth dr furrow in the samie manner; and so in, leavmrg a space of four li-t between the dunle furrow s through the whole lengti an tie ield. Upon ohese double furrows pant potatoes, leaving a space of four feet be tiveen each hill. A horse, with two hov 'ill plough fnel plini iwo and a hell' acres in- a day. 1 hen the potatoes comae (Iy amt want tending. two boys with a horse and plough will turn another furrow, of the u ploughed ground towards the potatoes on each side, and tress thema with their hues in ant day, At half hilling. repeat and the vthole field will be ploughed. At hilling. the field mrust be Bross ploughed, the earth thrown towards the crop each way, a d diessed with the hoe. By this mode, two apres and a half to every horse and two ti jys. ean be completely tilled in tour days, 144ile in the common way of managing p upd, the labor of a man a boy and Iwo e - spring fl lowifng plough between every two rows of the old potore hills, Iwo inrrows. % hich are to be throwni one against the other, and plaim your corn u pona thena ithout any Ma nure. The ploughmg and planting as be fore, can be done by the same force; in the same lime and at the same rate by all your force. " My corn was husbanded in the same manner as my potatoes were the year before. A field on the other side of the ecase, murch of the description and size of mite, (upon which I experimente'd) was two days and a halfin ploughing and plant ing, with one man. a boy, and two horses, a ith a comon plough. 'T'his fiel was plant ed the saime day as mine, and was well dunged. My corn made its appearance about two days before my neighbors', rip ened about a fimr: night earlier, antd I had the largest crop. I coninued to plant corn in the samte land. aet ween the old hills as be fore mentioned, H iihout carrying On it any manire-the crops increasing about two bushels every year. I shrewdly suspect there is no part of the worbd where so many old fields lay out a dead lax to their owners, which with proper indus'ry and tillage, would yiehl a profit.

A FORTUNATE MIsTAKE.-The acciden - tal circumstances which frequently bring medical men into extensive practice, or that notoriety which may lead to it, is truly curious. It is well known that a most emi nent English practietioner owed all his sue eess to his having been in a state of intoxi cation. Disappointed on his first arrival in London, he sought comfort in a neigh - boring tavern, whence the servant of his lodging went to fetch him one evening, after it heavy potation, to see a certain Countess The high sounding title of this unexpected patient tended not a little to increase his exciteutet. lie followed the liveried toot man as well as he could, and was ushered it silence into a noble mansion, it here her ladyship's woman waited to conduct hin immediately to her mistress' room; her agitalion must probably preventing her from perceiving the doctor's state. lie was led ito a splendid bed chamber, and went through the routine practice of pulse feeling, &c. and proceeded to the table to wriite a prescription, which in all probabili ty w ould have been mechanically correct; but here his powers failed him. lI v.ain he strove to trace the salutary character-, until w earied in his attempt, he threw down the pen, and exclaiming,' Drunk by G- !' -made the best of his way out of the house. To la safter he - as not a little surprised by receiving a letter frotm the la'ly and a check tor 1001. and the promoiseofher fani ly and friends's patronage, if lie would oh serve the strictest secrecy of the state he found her in. ''hie fact was, that the Coun tess had been indulging in brandy and laudanunt which er Abigail had procured ;ir her, and was in the very condition which the doctor had so frankly applied to him self. A few days ago a servant, wishing to de stroy some newly-horn puppies. buried them alive in a hole in the garden, and cov ered them over with earth. Thirty six hours afterwards a young medical student. being curious to ascertain if the poor ani maIs were dead, proceeded to their exhoma tion, when they were foun I alive and well with the exception of one which was almost dead. "This example." a contemporary observes, "adhied to the inerance of the Hin doo, who lived after an interment of three weeks. and to the numerous cases of mi no'rs who have been found alive after being htrsed for eight or ten days, would lead to the supposition that some unknown awent exists in the bowels of the earth capable of prolonging the sufferings of the victims of tptrecipitate interment." V sT. TE AMtERICAN PAINTE.-M'. West met with magnificent patronage in England. but "he always retained a strong and unyielding afection for his native land." The c!oiuntenice which the king nob y be stowed upon this highly gifted American. could riot fail to excite envy among his courtiers. A malicious individual, know ing his partiality for the land of his birth, resolved to make him give him some un guarded proof of it which would be unpleas anit to hi= M ajesty, incensed as he then was against the American colonies. With an air of mich satisfaction, he one (amy inform ed the King that the Americans had lately met with a most disastrous defeat; and tutrning to Mr. WVest lie exnintgly asked, i'low do you like these tidinigs, sir?'' Mr. West, hiowinig low to his majestv. answered "'I amt a oy al andt grateful subIject to mty Kiun.: butt I cant ntever rejoice at anty tik tole reply." said hiis sove'rign: 'and I as5 sture yotu Mr. Wecst, no ani will ever llI in myi estimnatin he'eatuse lie loves his contn try."
