The objects to be secured by each a Conven) tion. are to ascertain what hns been done in this j State for the last four or five years in giving * circulation to the Bible; whit facte may ho co'! locted, which will throw light upon our yet re maining destitutions; v.-hctiter it is exuedicnt. to ri nult jticoi! in 11 - r'vi tt ajgg??iWJii4ULiJLiwujwagiCT?BMtaa^in?Mi?iMTwwBi with the Word of Life upon apian siivilar to that which was agreed upon in Columbia, several years ugo\ and if so, by what means and by what j agencies the plau can be most fully and thor. j ouglily, and jcdiciouelv carried into etfect, so I that our entire reading population, have free accosfi to copies of the Holy Scriptures in their own possession.

To hud trees, lot the following method be adopted: procure a knife which line n thin blade, and a sharp ivory handle; the use ol the blade is to prepare the buds, and the handle is used to raise the bark of the stocks so that the buds can be easily inserted ? [lave some good 6trong bass in readiness and then take some good thrifty sprigs frorr healthy trees of the 6orts you intend to pro. pagate. When ali is ready, make a cut in the hark of the stock transversely, and from the middle of this cut make another downwards, at leust two incites in length, so tljal the two en's may bo in the form of a T; titer take one of your sprig?, and witlt expedition proceed to take off a bud: this is effected bv entering knife a little more than half ar inch below the fc'jdoreyc; force your knife into tho v.ood, drawing under the bud, auc cut the piece or? across tho <4100*; and titer immediately let that part of the wood wh:ci was cut off with the hud, be separated frorr it which mav be readily done with the knife ; by placing the point of it between the bark and wood at one end, and holding the bark in one baud,pull off the woody part with the other, which will readily come from the bark, if the tree from which it was taken b( , in a vigorous condition. Examine the oarii so as to bo satisfied that the bud remain.' perfect; if there is no hole in it. let i: be im mediately inserted into the stock, observing for reception of it, to raise tvith the handle i of your knife the bark of the stock, down | wards on each side from the cross cur, ?ni p thrust the bud in between the bark and tto wood, applying it as close as possible. A: soon as the bud is put ir. its place, tic it rount securely with the buss, beginning a little be t low the cut,and proceeding upwards tillyoi are above the cross cut, taking care to rnisj the eye of the bud, just that ii may be seer through the bandage of the bass. About ? week or ten days after the stocks have beer budded, they should be examined, wher such as have united will appear fresh ar.c full, and those that have not taken will r.p ! pear decayed; in the former case the bandage may be left ofF, and in the latter case the stock may be budJed in another r>'f;lCC provided the first operation w;t;J done in th< month of July or e;/,!yin August, as thest arc the *t? o most preferable months for bud ding fruit trees in general. Budding is however, often attended with success i done in September. Scallope Budding is performed by cut ting from a small stock, a thin narrow sea' lope of wood, about an inch in length, ant taking from a twig a thin scallopc of wood . of the same length; this is instan ly applied and fitted perfectly at top and bo'tom, anc as nearly as possible on its sides, and firm ly bound with wet bass matting. This modi may bo practiced in the spring, and if it fails it may he done again in the month of July The French practice this mode on roses.? Complete Practical Farmer. [from the Turf Register.] TAMING WILD HORSES?AGAIN Mound Farm Chnton, County. III. ) June 10,1837. $ , Mr. Editor: 1 In your March number, at page 316 yot I have made some remarks on an arielo ol mine on ti:c subject which is at the head <.i this communication, calcula cd to inspire doubts as to the truth of triy statements, a![ thougli you vouch for the respectability o! . niv character. Your correspondent *G.! in tli'.1 sum- na:r Vr, ;d- seems to <pu-s ion 1 heir accuracy, and not only those of mine, j but also those of previous correspondents > on the same interesting subject. A desire t , is also expressed, both bv yourself and him, c that pains should be taken to obtain the sc. t cret by which Mount was enabled to con- fl " quer.in so short a time,that most vicious nni- c mal. Since the receipt of ihat number of t the magazine, I have been to Kaskaskin, t my former residence, and made more par- t ticular enquiries into the caso reported to c you, and of which I was an eye-witness, i and have held conversations with those who li are in possession of the secret. They all d concur in my account of it, and further assure me that they are in the constant habit I of using the means with ivh'ch Mount ope- c rated, and have never faild of success, no f matter how devlish the horses were. I am c 1 also in possesion vf the secret, and can teach h any man acquainted with horses to subdue & s render tractable the most ungovernable nni. c : male in one or two hours. Abou.1 thi3 there is ti no mistake. I>y the same means, the most c baulky horse can be made to pull as true as the best dray horse in your ci;y, and oxen , can he broke to the yoke, and to pull wi:h, out flinching, in an liour or more. " Some furthtr facts in relation to 'the v' roan* on which Mount operated at Kaskas- *t kiu were given to me, in sub tance thus: c , that the next day, in taking him from the wagon, the driver went behind his legs un- ^ hitched the traces, gave him a kick, and he c trotted ofTIike an ol i stage horse; and fur- r ther, when he left the town 'roan* was turn. t; ed loose and trotted after the wagon, never offering to run awnv, and this, a horse rais- c in the woods, and but a fe.v hours under the 1 . dominion of man! All this, I admit, is a c ! severe draft upon creduliy, but it is as true ' i ns thai controul has been givmtous over c ! the whole brute creation. c I have ascertained to inv perfect saiis- ^ faction, that the means used have no inju- 1 nous effects whatever oil the spirits of the horse; upon his disposition they act like a charm, and seem to attach him to the person who administers them. A gentleman who has practised the art [ i assured me that lie caught, for his little sis- t ter, a wild Point horse, and in one week had t so completely gentled him that she rode him s> every where with the most perfect safety. I i Tint the means used,properly administered, f will produce the effects spoken of, there is t no more doubt than that you have an cxis- | ?onrp. St.va \ | ? i Remar!:s lu the Edtior of the Turf Regis- ) ter.m { TSic subject of the above article from t 'Si^ma' becomes more etui more interest, t D # ing every day. The facts stated by vuri- 1 ous persons are so s'range, so 'out of the < usual course of things,*' that 'Sigma* him- * self need not wonder that many people con- ' tinuc to e'eubt, though they are affirmed to I by persons ever so respectable. The facts 1 asserted by 'Sigma* end various other res- F npctnble gentlemen, are neither more nor s less than what aro almost universally believed to be impossibilities. If we were to < assert that we could take a wild horse, .and i h one hour so completely change h:s dispo- I sition and habits as to tender bin?docile and i trac;iblo,so that he can be ridden by any i person or driven in a carrage, there are few | people in the world that would believe us; 1 and vet this is simply the very fact asserted I 4C* ? - 1 _I *i i* II i ? ? t oy -oigna, an i wnicn now canaany oeiove. i can be done. Wo did not intend to cast a < shadow of doubt on the statement of'Sigma,' \ nor do we believe that *G' did. We know the character of'Sigma' too well to doubt t what he asserted as a fact within his own I * knowledge. I 3 The editor of the Turf Register tais now ? - the pleasure of announcing thut lie is in post session oj the secret; it lias however, been < * acquirod at too late a day for a trial before 1 * the present number goes to press.. lie is i 1 not ut hberty at present to publish if, nor | I communicate it toothers. but hopes, af;er a i ? fair trial shall have been made ofit, to obtain I 1 permission for its publication. Not having < - tried tiie experiment we cannot speak prac < i ticaiiy of its results; but wc are led to believe, j s from recollections of analogous things and i i circumstances, that not only horses may be i rendered docile, but many, *.f not all o.'.^r i animals may be domesticated an ! tamed, j i stripped of their wild ferocious ^pcn.siiies ' I by the application of thi^ Angular practice, i We would remark to *G., and several oth- I ers who Ir^c suggested wlial they supposed ; ? w the secret, that nothing mentioned by ! ?j any of them forms any part of it. There is ' ; no stopping the ears with wool, nor a\ ply. I ' ing the affluvi a from tire arm pits to the nose of the horse, nor severe flagellation, ? nothing of the kind nor anv thing I ke them 1 in 'the secretBy the way. we must invent a name for it; will make a no:6e in the world for it yet. j It is mentioned by JSir Humphrey Davy, upon the authority ofan article in the Philosophical transactions for 1790, that in the j years 1795 and 1790,, when almost the whole crop of corn, (wheat J in the British > island, was blighted, the varieties obtained by crossing alone escaped, though sown in ' several soils, and in very different situa' tions. The manner of crossing is very simple, merely bv sowing different kinds of wheat, ' in the same field, the product of which will 1 i be a new variety.

Intel I, From tiie Foreign Missionary Chronicle. THE HINDU GODDESS KALEE.. It has long been known that tiie most icrnicious consequences have resulted from he worship of this heathen demon. To he black goddess with a collar of golden ;ku!ls, as she is enhibi ed in ail her principal emples, human sacrifices were anciently )fTered, as the Vcdas enjoined. We arc here told tliat the blood of a man produces' jleasure in her mind, which lasts 1080 ears; that hs the b'ood of three men the ilensure is extended one hundred thousand ,c?rs. Kalce,Devce, Durgn, or Bhowanec, is she is indilferently called, is the idol of he drunkard and the thief; tl?e robber, he murderer, and the prostitute, archer ivorshippcrs; and aii delight to propitiate 1 being whose worship is obscenity, and ;vho delights in the blood of man and beast. Until quite Intely, however, it was not known iow very extensive is the system of rub)ery and ipurdcr perpetrated under her irolcction, and as a part of her horrid wor* ;'iip. The numerous robberies and murders :ommitted in all parts of India by organ, zed bands, nwaken?*d the attention of the Sritish government in Iplia, and induced t, in 1830, to take the most energetic ncasupos for their suppression, and for die noted ion of the lives and property of the letter disposed part of tiui inhabitants.? rhese murJerers are called Thugs; and :he system of Thuggee i6 t!ic nios* MjctraorUnary ibat has ever been recorded o the listory of the human r jec. A lew-months ago a . octavo volume of 500 pages was received at the Missionary [looms, accompanied by the following note, from one of the officers of the Bengal .civil service:? 1 have the pleasure of sending you a very curious uud important book, which has been printed by order of this govern. t. * -i ? men. 11 conuims, i minis, liic most completo exposure which lias ever boeu mado of t!ic evils of idolatry. Nothing which the missionaries over alleged against it is so conclusive as this. Thuggee is a religious system, and ilia Thugs praclicc murder just as Christians do charity, ia obedience :o the will of their god," The decisive measures adopted by Lord VVm, Dentinck, then ilie Governor Generll, resulted in tho-arrcst of more tlran 2030 Timgs. The record of the .trials i3 con* tnined in the volume just referred to. Fifteen hundred were convicted in one hundred and sixty seven fripls, for the murder of 347 persons, and two hundred and fifty were admitted as king's evidence. These men wore commonly tried for one particular :ase of murder, perpetrated on one expedition. From the information before the courts of justice, it appeared that the murdere for which they were tried were not more than the one hundredth part of the murders they had committed in their career of crime. Mankind, ? considering flic necessity of restraning those evil piopenstes, which atlect the/ lift?, property, and ch iracter ot their fellow men, commonly appeal to three standards; 1-st. The will of the deify, as revealed to them in their scriptures, or interpreted to them by t'ne expounders of heir religion. 2<J. .The moral feelings of he circles of society in whom they move. 3d. The penal laws in force, and the char* icut of their administration. 1st. ThJ Thug associations hive been aught by those whom they revero as fhe ixpounders of the will of their d dry, 'hat he murders they perpetrate are pleasing to icr, provided they are perpetrated tinder certain restric.ions, attended by certain ibservances, and preceded and followed by rertain rites, sacrifices, and offerings. This leity, who, according to their be lief, guides ind protects them, is ever manifesting her ,vi!l by sigus; and as long as they under.
