When the first cluster ol blossom buds appear, the lateral shoots which appear iu the axil ol each leaf below it, are carefully plucked out, leaving but a single stem, surmounted by a cluster ol flowers, and a bnd which wil serve to continue the stein. Thit bud will develop three leaves and a cluster of flowers, and all the axilarv shoots upon it are re moved, and the stem is kept care tully tied up, and so on. The vine is kept to a single 6tem without branches, and bearing only lea vet and clusters of truit. The vines, with the exception of two, grew to the top of the stakes, the first cluster growing within three inch cs of the ground, and the t'rst rip< tomatoes the 25th of July. 3 Save the Manure?It is alwgiy . a wonder to an Eastern man hov i people anywhere can waste feiti r lizing material.

It is true, and we commend it to every one who has an interest in the place where he resides: 4* Nothing is more common than to hear people talk of what they pay for advertising, <fcc.. as so mnch given iti charity. Newspapers by enhancing the value of the property in the neighborhood and giving localities in which they are published, a reputation abroad, benefit all such, particularly if they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the meagre sum they pay for their support. Besides,every public spirited citizen has a laudable pride of having a paper of which he is not ashamed, even though he should pick it up in New York or Washington. A good-looking, thriving sheet helps property,gives a character to locality, and is in many respects a desirable public convenience. If from any canse the matter in the local or editorial column should not be to your standard, do not cast it aside and pronounce it good tor nothing, until satisfied that there has been no more labor bestowed upon it than is paid for. It you want a good readable sheet, it must be supported, not in a spirit of charity, either, but because yon feel a necessity to support it. The local press is the power that moves the people."

uttvmer guys: ~ i vazei eyes are tue more usual indications of a mind masculine, vigorous and profound ; just as genius, properly so called, is almost always associated witli eyes of a jellowish cast, bordering on hazel." The higher the brows rise the more their possessor is suppo ed to be under the influence of feeling, and the lower, the better controlled by his reason. A very small eye brow is an indication of want of force of character. A tolerably large month is essem tial to vigor and energy, and a very smaJl one is indicative <1 weakness and indolence. In a manly face the upper lip should extend beyond ana dominate the lower. Fleshy lips are oftener found and associated with volnp tuousness.
