Yet the assaults of these

were fearfully destructive, llovs

divisions of the retreating French
and never tailing to strike when
ever a small party of the enemy
separated from the main body on

were daily becoming mora '.fre

discipline aud the increased want
of provisions there was no pos.
8ibility of either resisting; or es
caping their attacks. Well ntoun
ted on their fleeJ and hardy
coursers, such was the rapidity of
their movements that they seem
ed to spring up trom the (arth,
always appearing when least ex

awa with a celerity that' defied
pursuit, even it the worn aud bar
rassed Frenchmen had been able
to attempt it. From thern, in

Kill the AVeeds in Augast.
' There is no better month to kill
Canada thistle, as well as vvseds
generally, and the destruction of
bushes, than August. It is also
peculiarly a time when farmers are
not so viiiuch hurried, and when
the wecljs have fully developed
themselves. The farmer can see
ta a glance, indeed has seen all
the season, the necessity ot com
mencing the work of destruction.
The best thiag to be done with
weeds of all kinds dxtirpaftd from
the land is to use them in the
compost heap, or tv gather them
in large heaps to remain there uu
tildry, and then burnu p, "root
andbranch." The practice ot some
farmers who look only to their
ownseltish purposes, who live tor
themselves and rarely have a
neighbor with whom they are on
friendly terms, is to pull up and
throw into the public highway the
weeds from their fields. There
they are left to npen their seed,
and the first wind that comes tney
are carried away, sometimes for
miles, either into the land ot some
other farnu r or into a stream, to
be landed along the banks for a
great distance.. We have more
than once seen people calling
themselves farmers and christians
engaged in this mean business.
