enquire the reason why the hospital of the female benevolent society is at present closed i have made several en quiries on this subject but failed in getting any satisfactory answer the principle object of this humane institution is to relieve the destitute sick and why it should not be open at the season of all others when sickness is most prevalent lean- not conjecture the wretched condition of a great many persons in this place at present is truly melancholy suffering under bevere fevers and entirely destitute of means the legislature of the province made a grant of li 00 to this institution during the last session and if it is not yet received the delay must be owing to carelessness in some quarter i have no other object mr editor in making these ob- seivations than a wish to serve the cause of hu manity and i hope therefore they will give of fence to no one i am well aware that whatever time the hospital may be opened there will be plenty of applicants for admission but what i contend for is that the season when fevers are most prevalent among us ought not to be over looked by the society timely aid in these com plaints being of the utmost importance tn the

damas violet 61 da mas of poquet 62 early magdelen mode of planting the grape vine is propagated either from a slip taken from the stem of healthy vines of at least four or five years growth or by trasplanting the roots themselves by the first mode it requires seven or eight years before the vine comes to its full bearing and for the two first years those plants which fail must be replaced about onethird of the whole plantation the second mode ib the best for if you are supplied with good plants well rooted there is no danger of loosing any and the second year from the time of transplanting they yield fruit tn climates where the winters are se vere the season for transplanting the vine is the latter part of march or the begining of april but in more temperate latitudes the end of october is to be preferred fivmakyw farejoj and eighteen deep must first be prepared and if they be made in the course of the preceding summer or autumn would be still better for the earth thus having re mained exposed to the air would be more favourable to the plant the most econo mical and expeditious way of performing this operation is by using a plough and go ing with it throe or four times over the same furrow after which the ground may bedug out with a spade to the depth re quired if the plantation is but small or the expense no consideration the best me thod is to dig the gronnd deep with the spade and turn it up in all directions inlands which are very sandy and light the drills must be inadeto the depth of six teen or eighteen inches and the drier the soil the deeper they ought to be in rich soils fifteen inches is sufficient let the drills be run in a direct straight line from north to south that the plants may receive the rays of the sun on all sides plant the roots from four to six feet apart according to the quality of the soil tberfher it is the farther apart the plants should be if you use horses for ploughing the roote ought to be at least six or seven feet distant from one another and eight or nine if oxen are used so that your ground may be used without injuring any of the plants final ly if the spade only is to be used the plants may be placed five or six feet apart every way care must be taken likewise not to place the plants of one row immediately opposite those of the next row that they may not be ia the way of one another in planting the viae lay down six inches of the plant flat at the bottom of the drill leaning the upper part of it against the side so as to form the figure of an angle when in this position placing one foot on the roots to press them flat with the bottom of the trench you cover them with three or four inches of good earth well pulverised or two or three bandfulls of moistened ash es t you then press the clay or ashes closely with your feet aud fill up the drill so as only to leave two eyes of the plant un covered the drills when planting must be free from water if any from preceding rains remain in them it is better to wait a day or two until they become dry the subscriber having been appointed agent for mr loubat be is now ready to receive orders in terms of the above notice james macfarlane kingston 17th
