d rLdtrr POTATOES EAJtLT. The experience of tknaers evcryt I where is, tbt tb best crops ot poto- ' toes are produced by planting early, J or as soon as tb land can be got In good condition. It is bad policy to plow land when wet; aad when toe j season is cold and romp. It is tetter . to wait fer good weather to put in any e crop; but plant your pctatoes as soon j as you can safely. Ac excellent way . to manage, so as to have bat littls . work in cultivating tba crop, la to , plant either In drills or bills, and . covet the seed with u plow, forming a ridge over each row; and when tba . ! potatoes hive been in tbs ground , j from, 16 to 20 days tbey will bare , ; grown op several inches la tbs ground. Then tab a harrow, torn it over with i toe teeth op, put upon it ^ large stone ^ I or two io front, lengthen your trace , chains as much as you can, and go over tbe ground aeroes tbe ridges, t till tb land is perfectly smooth. If some ef the pot -toe eproute are on- , . I covered oo barm will be done. Tbe i | weed* will all be destroyed, and yeur , , j potatoes will come up and grow | j rapidly, and generally will require oo , otber cultivation, but with a bertc" j -j hoc or cultivator, using a mould- i j cultivator, or a plow, to torn np tbe ,

Tbe red Woatbersfleld is the ! s most reliable variety. Tbe land i j , should be mad* rish with stable | j , manure every season; and onlens | . may be grown on the tarns ground for I ^ I a life-tima. In garden culture, tb* c rows should be sbout a foot apart, | , . and allow -the onions to grow from I i , four to six inches apart ia the rowi | , , -vben thinned out. If your soil is i c i liable to form e crust oo tbe snrtece, j ^ , cover ibe seed about a quarter of an j B . inch deep with earth, then tread it | f down firmly, and cover tightly with j ^ sand, or sifted coal sahes, so as to j . | prevent tb bakiog of tb soil over j d 1 tbe seed, and preventing It coming I c up. There ia oo otber seed that seems I to require tbe ground to be so firmly I pecked around It, to make it vegetate | as onion seed ; and tbe back of a spade ' , should always be need on tb send or } ^ eebes for this purpose io email plots, j .. and a band roller fer field culture.

Historical Sketch nf Ednemllonnl Intercom 1st Patent sssrg. Cap* May Coanty. The flrst settlers of West Now j Jersey were Quakers. These people ; held education ef importance, second . 00!Z to religion. In tbo year MC7; iJSnatgtr Fox, advised his brethren In '< J. lo establish schools, "that Use < | young men ef genus in low circnm- * stances may be furn'sbed with moans - I procure reqnsite education." Ooe i | echo*! wee founded about this timsi I "for teaching ef whatsoever things ; were civil and useful in oreation." | • The General AssemWy of East New ( I io session At ( I'erlh Aahey, I io 1693. passed an act for the eetafi- -| j of school masters in the I province. This act anthertted the' ' citltens of any town te elect three or '! | more school commissioners, whose I ' It was to employ and fix the ! ! for tbs salary; and maintaining I of a school master wi this said town.'' 1 I majority might compel toe mi- * nority to pay tbelr share of the teach- * er's salary. This teem* to have boon: s ! the first lax levied for the support of 1 ! public schools in the province. Ad- h diUootl legislation provided for a k : convenient place to hold tbe school Js . so that all migkl haye equal advan- f .«». ' | In l?0i, by an act of Assembly of j « j Now Jersey, propristors might form j t ! themsejves Into a corporate society, ' ® I *'to promote learaing. " Ao act was passed in 1816, creating ^ j a public fond for the snpport of free ! c | schools in tbe commonwhqUh. Thl»: ; was Increased by legislation io '-* succeeding years, as the usefulness ' | of public Schools became apparent. — 1 In 1828 tbe ueeeeslty was fell for Improvement in leaching. A ' ' promioeot dtiseo of Essex County, ' said concerning the matter, "thet ' c l tbe teacher should be trained ool only I ! to leach, but to govern in the test j*1 manner.
