The solitary faot brought forward by your
correspondent, that salt "-fjfs 1200 /eot and 1650

result of the incontroi-ert^'e evidences of the
former fluidity of the gh/e. Wo must seek
explanations for that fact without endeavoring
to upsoi conclusions as steadfast as the globo
itself. To argue against the former fluid ana

against tho pricks." To argue in favor of it in
this year of scientific light, appears to mo to bo

We continued on up to the pine hills, aud the
next place that wo observed of note was theSaw-
mill owned by Smith, Dudley & Co. (formerly
Smith, Hunt & Co.). This is a good sawmill, in
a good lumber district ; has now been in opera-
tion some fWo years, and yet good. Wesley
Smith A Conrad, two of tho partners, stop at this
mill and superintend in the way of good bard
work, one at the engine and the other in the
lumber ynrd. From this Iwcnt four miles in an
easterly direction, to their new mill. Arrived at
12 m. and fonnd their (able spread with the rich
dainties of life. After a good dinner we repaired
to the new mill for tho first time, and a good mill
in every sense of the word it is. The resident
owners are Wniter Smith & Dudley fpartners
with Wesley Smith &. Conrad at the old mill),
and both have good houses and tho needful (a
good wife each). Now 1 must say to you that I
have never seen as good a saw mill in any other
State. Tho building is seventy-two feet long,
thirty- five feet wide, twenty-two and a half feet
posts, with a good roof, and a line spring of water
is near by. Tho machinery is hard to bo beaten;
the total weight of machinery and bolts is 45,000
pounds— I mean the iron work. This mill has
in tho work 900 bolts of various sizes, a largo
proportion manufactured by themselves at their
n place in the mountains. They hare a saw
edge lumber, slit laths, &e. They are now
preparing to put in operation a largo cylinder
w, 42-inch diameter. They have two boilers
'i feet long, 42-inch diameter, 10-inch flues ; saw
no feet long, sash eight feet wide in the clear.
Engine cylinder 12i -inch bore. 24-inch stroke.
Fly-wheel 10 feet in diameter, lS-inch face.
Grindstone and all tho fixtures aro propoHed by
steam, oven to the milroad car to take the lum-
ber from (he mill back to Jhe yard. They are
prepared to saw large timber, which they have in
great abundance, and close nt hand. They cot
100,000 feet so near the log-way, as not to ose
a team to get the lo^s into the mill. This mill
company raiso wheat, potatoes and hay, have
good gardens, some Iruit whiott does well up in
these mountains; and if tho farmers would go
up to Smith, Dudley & Co.'s mill, and get some
of their good lumber, make a few good fences,
and abandon their old ditcb, dag, and v>atdi
a greater degree of harmony woold pro-
mcb more grain bo grown and less stock
harmed.
Prom this I went to tho floorishittg town of
Coultervillc. Here I found a good Hotel, for-
icrly kept by Geo. W. Coulter, and now by Mr.
J. W. Porter and wife. This is a first-class house;
good meals, good beds and no gambling allowed,
not oven tho simplest games. This is most posi-
tively b good place for the weary traveler to stop

a traveler's home, I am pleased to say thai Mr

Tho morning was lovely, and as soon as [be
sun made its first appearance, it was greeted by
tbo Bring of the usual national salute, and a mag-
nificent American Slar-ipangUd Banner was
majestically waving at tho top of the Liberty
Polo on the plaza. Tho brass Laud accompany-
ing Rowe's Pioneer Circus passed through tho
principal streets and halted in front of tho Revere
Houso on the plaza, and there mode tbo welkin
ring with tbo favorite national air, Yankee Doo-
dle. As tbe day advanced, tho streets became
crowded with living patriotic citizei
parts of Ibis and adjoining counties,
appropriately celebrate tbu cightr-fl
Eary of American Independence.

Seven times six moons have pissed away
since we penned the first article in which we
addressed the readereof IhoUAuronNiA F*hmer,
and seven volumes of oor journal have been bid
before Ihcm, each one, we trust, as good and as
acceptable if not belter than the list.
To those of our patrons who joined us at the
beginning of our labors, and who have continued
with os, and we can number a goodly bosl, to
such we lender our grawful thanks and cordiil
greeting, as we enter this our Eioiith Volume,
and trust we shall bale their continued favor and
kindly support and influence, that wo may, by
such aid. make each succeeding volume better
than the last.
To those who have joined us at each succeed-
ing volume, to all who have joined us, or have
given us eneouragement by their patronage, wo
tender most grateful (hanks) and to the many
who, by kindly words of cheer to us, personally,
and by their generous and friendly influence
among their friends, have aided us in this great
enterprise we say, God bless yoo '. we are indeed
grateful and will try to deserve your good will,
Few, very few ot tbo readers of our journal can
have any conception of tbc anxiety, (oil, and
weariness which it is (he lut of an editor and
publisher of a newspaper to endure ; and notone
of tho many thousand readers of the FiHMtncjn
over form an adequate idea of tbo amount of
sacrifice, of toil and tubor, physically, or llie
wear of mind as well as body which has been re-
quired of us to commence, build up, and sustain,
through a period of nearly foor years, the journal
which wo have the pleasure to present to them
under the name of the CaLifObnia Fahhch.

causo of Agriculture woold one day be the great
caoso of California, and of her citizens; and
although tbo great maEaofthc people should took

If nny argument were ue,..l.j (o prove tbc

The annexed letter from our correspondent L,
wo cheerfully publish, as wo arc glad to have all
such facts. The immense loads of grain and
beans that are often seen drawn by tha Me lieani 1
teams are wonderful, and we intend, ere long, to
present such teams in engravings. Our friends
In Stockton will have no objection to any trial of
strength, either by single or double teams, and
wo presume such trials of skill will be had tin ,
year at tho Slate Pair at Stockton, to give all a
chance, and show who can do most :
EniTOHB FaniHEn: In your issue of Jono,
5th, yon mako mention of floe teams and their'
loads, and many papers throughout tho Slate, and,
I may say, tho Eastern Stales, also copy, and con-
sequently Stockton is par excelttnee the City o
Dig Teams and Heavy Loads,
Believing yoo act in a spirit of fairness in pub-
lishing the facts, and not wishing to "extenuate
or aught tot down in malice," nor yet take from
the teamsters of Stockton ono jot or tittloof their
good uamo, I will mention a fun facts (some ol
which came under my own observation, and
others I secured from reliable parlies) in relation
to Sue teams and big loads, in California and
elsewhere.
The team you make particular mention o r , con-
sisting of eight mull-:., which drew twenty-ono
thousand pounds, and the value— team ond
wagon, $8000; toad, §750— must bo A No. 1 in
Slockton. Good ! Now, I have seen seventeen
thousand pounds upon one wagon, and one of (he
old Santa Fe stripe at that, tho owner or which, I
will venturo Lo say, never heard of "Lambert's
Patent Axle Grease," nor of any other grease
(although a Greaser himself), to judge by Ihe
sound as it lumbered along, drawn by two psirs
of Spanish oxen yoked by the horns. Tho load
consisted ot white beans, nnd tho market value nt
that time was S1360. A portion of the road was
through the sandy streets ot Oakland. Slill bet-
ter drawing than the above was dona by s pair of
horses, and by pulling (hem separately, whilst
building n lock upon the Oneida river, in tho
State of New York. One horse of tho (cam drew,
upon a stone-boat, a lockstono weighing Jour
tons, nearly a rod, winning a bet of one thousand
dollars. The pair would draw, upon a wagon,
about the Stockton (cam's load.
What will our Eastern friends think of a single
toad of beans of such a valoa? 1 say not a
word about the "value of tho team and wagon."

Wo hare received two communications, re-

Adieu, blessed California 1 around my spirit
steals a bright imago of the past. Thy (
Sunset and Iby gorgeous twilight may visit
mere; (by hills and vales wilt echo ne'er
with my returning footsteps; but my sol
bear their impress with undying memory, and
the heart grow holier for the wisdom thou bast
laugh L In fancy's won deriugi I will return, and
my loici haunts revisit. Again I'll climb the
mountain's misty brow, and gaze will) rapture on
Ihy lowering hills, thy fertile valleys and thy
teeming earth, disclosing (tenders ; and wilh awe
"re. Ihy greatness and thy g!
riily arrayed. I'll seek thy
bold communion with notuto; stray along toy
wandering streams and listen to their laughing
marie; rest awhile where mountains rise like
holy loners towards heaven; where oiks of giant
growth rear their majestic heads, thi
limbs, glorious m beauty, clothed with verdant
foliage; tbtn hie lo some sequestered spot where
Doners spring up unbidden, bloom and i
gathered ; where the tiny rill babbles it
ending song of glee, and the quiet shades
qcent with nature's poesy. Fain would
hero as in happier hours, and heal the saddened
heart with the soothing balm of memory.
Away ! my spirit leads to yon tall cliff upon
whose InRy peak the lonely redwood sways its
feeble trunk: the granito precipice froni whose
diary hight comes dashing tho while foam of
water* in such majestic beauty, its bright and
silver ,ipi» j reflecting rainbow rings, while far
abi7c.i» tho tented domeof heavenly blue.cloads
like molten seas of gold on tho horizon Goal.
Leap oiler leap it lakes, until its waves lie sleep-
ing calmly in tbe brood ravine, where pines end
shrubs, all decked in lively green, dewy with na-
ture's tear-drop*, sigh to the pissing breeze, and
woo the laughing waters lo their lonely solitude.
I leave thee, California, in thy beauty 1 (J, cat
and mighty is Ihy destiny, for thy future teems
with glory unimagined. Free aa Columbia's bird,
thy coorsc. is onward. Thy birthright, given thee
by heaven, cannot be wresled fiom Iheo by the
puny head ol man ; no power can forge for tbee a
chain, no links can bind thee, for thauart terrible
iu might. Above tbee "oils the Flag or Freedom,
aod U,j noble, sons, cased in its armor, bid de-
fiance lo all comW. and rejoice In tho glad shoot
of liberty. Pride of [he West, farewell ! along

him that hath adrcitn Ult a dream." With your
permission I will tell my dream : Who, of oil
your numerous readers nod correspondents, will
reveal Iho interpretation thereof?
Lo I in my dream a vast city of marble palat
Stood upon the margin of on inland sea. Masai
granilo structures, enduring as tho ages, rose su
limely ahovo those noble plies, pointing lh(
minarets and spiics tonard Heaven. Grand old
trees, where centuries had chronicled their years,
spread their protecting arms around and above,
o'eiorchiiig its broad avenues wilh living verdure.
Across tbe eapansa of water, In retnute per-
spective, primal forests stretched far away to tho
north and the south, losing themselves in the-
deep bloo or tho distant boriion. Thriving vil-
lages were grou|wd at intervals amid tbelr open-
ings, relieving (bo dense shade in the background
of the charming picture, nod suggesting thoughts
of quiet home-delight amid the cool and refresh-
ing haunts of Nature.
The light which illumined llie scene, was not
of the sun, or of the moou, neither was it Ibo
inspiring light of the morning, nor the trsuquil-
izing hue of the evening twilight; but a soft,
clear, and serene emanation, through which the
eye could ponetrale immensity of space, unwearied
with gazing. It was a light which scintillated
through tho soul, liko "the still, small voice" of
the infinite Father, leaving a holy calm upon the
spirit, and a deep and beautiful repose upon the'
landscape. Tbo bush of noon was in the lucid
atmosphere, tho noon nf a subdued summer's
day ; and yet tho thoroughfares of that vast city
were filled with crowds of human beings, who'
walked slowly ami thoughtfully beneath the shade
of those grand old trees. And as they walked
they turned silently, at intervals, to look back'
upon tbe path they had trod, and, thence, for- 1
ward into the distance with an earnest, cspeclanti
gaze, as if watchful of a coining ovent. And the
windows of the marblo palaces wore filled with
the same earnest, espectaut faces; and groupsof,
men and women stood upon porticos and balco-
nies, watching. And the city, and tho sea, am
tho woods, with intervening villages, and tbi
bending heavens which lovingly embraced then
all, wore the satno expectant expression; it wen
as if the material world bad caught t ho lono o
Ultimate nature, and harmonized with it in I
sublime and absorbing auticipation of the future
T stood with others upon a lofty balcony vrhict
self, and I have jot much lo accomplish before
my departure to that sphere."
"If yon are not a spirit," I responded, "how
coold you possibly assume tho form of an Eagle7"
At Ibis inquiry, the beautilul bird moved a
littlo In advance of me, end, shaking its rich
plumage until tho long sweeping feathers fell in
skirt-like folds around, turned upon mc ft look of
deep significance as it answered: "/ cuiumed it
by the potter of a hioiiti* WILL;" and thou,
gathering upitsdiaping robe, and spreading Its
broad pinions, it soared away.
I was suddenly awakened by a voles repeating
fn iny car: "The dream is o leason for yoor in-
struction." Again 1 inquire, Who will interpret
my dream 1 - SEnCNa.

Thoughts In Spare Minutes,
Woman's Rights! Yes, indeed, woman has
many rights which she docs not enjov, and grea.
t know it. Pity for it,,
'b sake — pity for Ibosike
tho pity iho does r
in sako— pily for ti
of posterity.
It is well that in ninny minds the thought \t
dawning, thai woman is not what she should be
■Hint the weak, dependent, ohallow, frivolous
caturo she is, ia not what God meant when ho
odo woman. But tbo step from where she now
inds, lo bo "a voter, a law-maker, o judge," is
huge one. No wonder the majority of women
shrink at the bare idea. Tubs obliged lo assume
icb responsibility— to be under the necessity of
vestigaling, of thinking, studying, reasoning.
Ah I such duties belong to the strong handed, and
"strong minded"— lo man.
But are there not righLi lying between here

unt, as Iho writer so eloquently urges-woman
must have health of body „ prvp J for ^"T
propriete education ; and It Is a lomentablo truth
thatwobave few women whoenjoy perfec. health,
and. by reason of a false education, Ihe race of

sustain such oxloroal relalious a* are the con-
ditions of health. Oh I if woman could know
what bounding, vigorous hcahh i ; , ivhiii /■hytic-i!
ecstaey there is to be healthful, in comfortable
dress, pure air and sunshine, out-door Borft,
simple food, rest, sleep— if -liu could realize how
ill health enfeebles the mind and wrinkles the
heart, bow it makes her selilsh, unloving, un-
gentle, and unenduring — could she but catch a
glimpse of woman with all her faculties health-
fully developed — elastic and vigorous In body,
in person, loving and self-sacrificing,
art, true to her instincts, clear in her
intellect, and strong in high purpose* — couldeach
individual realize ta.it this it, her ri s ht, and hence
her duly, what an up-heaving and ovor-turning
_ ould there be of society's cusloms ! Greater
ibu if the law should bo passed to-morrow in

id in all things bo just equal to man. Greater
ian ony change that huiimn Inns coold make,
because ibo change would be in woman herself.
Id no longer lead an io-door life, either
;, or seeking her ease and pleasure, bo-
ngs organized as we are cannot live
naturally and healthfully iu doors. She would
~nd time and ways to prepare food simply and

I know woman likes lo excuse herself from
arae for her lack of health, nnd charge il to

an is the result of excessive maternity." Too
uch (rath— too crushing lnlt l,, i, tlij a \ Bui it

Fanning on the Tuolumne.
Editor.'! F-iiuieb: As the season advances, for
(be Ingathering of (be crops, we have reports,
through your valuable journal, of the yield in the
virions sections ofthe Stale. From these reports
we gather, that the yield varies as widely as the
distance. In some it appears the drought has af-
fected (he Crops utmost to a failure, whilo in others,
wehear of somelbingnboveanaircragoyield. Tak-
ing it all together, wo arc led lo believe that the
presmt is a fiir average crop. Also, through the
medium of the Faemkii, tie have, laid before, us,
the manner in which (ho lands of California arc
cultivated. And here, again, we sec as great a
exptet different modes of cultivation, where (he
soil differs So much as it does in this State,
From some wo bear of a uniform success, one year
nfier another; with others it varies, aud from
Others, (till, we hear nothing but complaint; a
continual want of success, year after year. Or
this latter class, we, hero on the Tuolumne, must
reluctantly admit that we form a largo propor-
tion ; and my idea, in writing this communica-
tion, is (o find, if possible, the cause— whether
it be in (he season, the soil, or the system pur-
sued by us in farming our lands. As tho sea-
sons are very nearly the same throughout Cali-
fornia, I need say nothing of them. As to tbo
soil, I see but little difference between that on
Ibis river, and the Stanislaus. Merced and other
streams in this part of tho State. But as we
hare adopted a system pecotiar to tho farmers on
the Tuolumne, 1 shall explain it as nearly as pos-
sible, and let you judge if tho fault is there.
Wu set out with tbo proposition that land is
cheap, and labor dear ; therefore, it is policy (o
cultivate the greatest breadth of land possible,
With the least possible amount or labor. We
commence, by plowing our land from two to four
inches deep— no deeper — it saves tho team, aud
wear and tear of plow and harness, besides get-
ting over a large surface in a very short time.
On this wo sow grain broadcast, and harrow with
ft. brash drag (which costs nothing). Wo* cut,
dies, but never bind. At some convenient linio,
wo haul and throw in a pile, and wail lor- tho
thresher- Sometimes it happens that tho horses,
cattle, and bogs get to it ; bat this mikes liitlu

saving a great amoont or
labor and seed. We also consider it all fully, to
go to the ejpen-c of buying cedar posts and pine
boards to fence with, when a ditch, with a little
brush, or forks and poles, will answer the pur-
pose. Stock does not trouble us, while tho grass
is good oulside, and, by tho time that is dried np,
Ibey cannot destroy enough to pay for fencing,
We hare been accused ul fencing with dogs; but
Ibis charge I deny in fofo. Why, sirs: by a

Editors Fansicn: Tho Fourth or July, the

patriot, passed by with a warm welcome ; jet wo
bnd no general celebration, except a few parties
of pleasure held on the night of tho third and
morning of the fourth, so as do| v lo intrude on tho
Sabbath. On Saturday, tho Fourth, friends
gathered together in small parties to exult in
their National In )c pen deuce, and all passed off in
a pleasant way, without drunkenness Or dis-
On Tuesday morning, 30tb Jens, bad quite a
shower of rain, and ..n Wednesday morning, at 6
o'clock, (lie rain began tu roll, and continued lo
fall copiously until 12 o'clock, doing damage lo
tho slock range in the way of bleaching the feed ;
also, the hay was much damaged on (he moun-
tains in the vicinity of Smith, Dudley & Co.'s mill.
On the Merced river the raiu was mare severe
The farmers arc still thrashing their wheat and
barley, and it turns out better than was expected
at tho time of harvest.
Previously, I have staled to you and your
readers that I used blueslono on my wheal for
seed, one-fourth of a pound to each bushel, in
Order to prevent smut. This accomplished the
desired object. I take Ono pound of bluestono
and dissolve in warm water; then a sufficient
quantity of water (o cover four bushclsof wheal,
and mix fo tho bluestono ; then put in the four
bushels of wheat, and let it remain twelve hours;
(hen place the wheat on a floor nnd dry with
good lime, and sow at i^oon as possible. Here let
me say, through your valuable paper, to (he
farmers of California, if thoy will make ono
[borough (rial oo their wheat and it does not pre-
vent smut, I will gire up my reasoning, yet will
not abandon my experiments. Wherein I havo
made the application I havo always been success-
ful; and on that part of my field that was not
washed as stated above, T had a good supply of
smnt. Now is the time to prepare for seeding.
Sow early, sow good seed, and no fear of famine.
I am now planting my crop, and bopo to get
through before the Fair at Stooklon.

By recont advices from Europe, tvo learn that
no increasing attentioa is being paid to this
subjeot. Tho worms are. leaving their cocoons
in France, nt last dales, and although soma
fears were imterlaiued by reason of frosty
weather, thus fur no losses had occurred. In
Spain nnd Italy, the worm? had passed their
second stage tho present year, nnd tbe prospect
is moro favorable than the ln.it. While we nolo

Tbo Grain Crop.

we Should except Oolusi, and perhaps Yolo, or a
part of it, oil other sections of the StalO will havu
a largely increased crop ; for whilo tome farmer,
tnay have a less crop Ihau previous years, a
greater nutnher of farmer, barn been tilling the
soil, and o greater number of acres have bceh cul-
tivated. Wo believe the crop of Wheat will ea-
ceed tho post year by 25 to 33ptr cent, nnd the
crop of Barley by 40 to 60 per cent, ; and it will
be (mud, also, that the quality of tho Wheat, the
present year, is more full and plamp, especially
that sown upon new laud or laud that has been,
(allowed the past year, a* well as upon land that
has been eubsuded.
This Grape was raised from seed by E. W. Bull,
of Concord, Mass., and is from our Native Stock
the Vitii Labrusca. It has all the hardy and
robust character of lhat family of grapes, nnd
of large size, excellent iu flavor, and beautiful
appearance. It is a prodigious bearer, aud would
probably reach a greater sire, and bo still
beautiful in California. The Concord Grape
makes n fine wine, with a most agreeable ni
and would reach u high quality iu tho climate of
California. It is growing in Canada, Nova Scotia,
Wiwonsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon, e(o.," and is
perfectly hardy everywhere.

When the consumption of sugar is taken into

Mn. J. Danhoh, farmor.ofDoagh, Belfast, has
-ently introduced an apparatus to be used for
digging or removing growing potatoes from the
for the ordinary hand fork,
tbo object being the more rapid and economical
removal of the root.
Tbo implement consisls of a light, open timber
frame, supported on four running wheels, the
ion of tbo main axle being applied to the
idgofan arrangement of rotary digging forks,
s drown by a pair of horses attached to a
Iransvcrjo bar. at the end or the fraruu opposite
tho forks, connection being similar lolhat usually
adopted in Ihc common plow. The ond trans-
projects at one side, and serves as a
handle for turning, the machine at tho headlands.

radial spikes on their peripheries, so as to hi
firm hold upon the ground in revolving, anil thus
provido sufficient resistence for tbo fork -driving
action. The main ailo, revolving with these large
running wheels, curries, a toothed bevel wheel, in
gear wilh a bevel pinion fast on the forward end
ofahoril0nL.il -hilt supported in bearings in tho
centre of the hind purl of ihe frame. The op.
posits end of this shift projects slightly at the
extreme rear or the trump, at which part it has
upon two or more radical rotating forks, which
of course revolve in a piano at light angles to (hi
line of the implement path. At tho part of Ihi
frame immediately behind the small back running
wheels there Is attached a horizontal plow |
slightly inclined ou its upper surface, tho
of which Is just clear of tho foikaas they

deep enough to lift up both the manure and Ibe
potatoes. In Ibis way, as Ibe monuro and pota-
toes aro elevated upon tho incline, the rotary ac-
tion or the fork scullers out Iho potatoes, which
can bo easily removed. Prevision is msdo for
allowing one of Hie huge driving wheels in turn

Soiling Stock.
So fnr ns I know, soya "A Retired Former"
a Pennsylvania paper, tbo stook growers ore
very generally following in Iho footsteps of Heit
forefathers, by occasionally giving a glinted
quantity of salt to their stooh. In the samniEr
tboy ofwn throw it on tho ground, in tba pas.
i-jind being so starved for salt, tho stack
will often eat tho ground beenuso of its beiag
impregnated witb salt, Ono of the greatest «r-
now practised by our stook growers, is tie
neglect to givo their stock the requisite nmoant
It, I should n« soon Ihink of stinting my
stook with water ns with salt.
Kj mode of salting for n number of years hai
been to koop n sufficient quantity of salt in a
tronp;h in my pastures nnd yards, bo that my
stock may have free access to it, ond eat of it
as often as they wish, nnd as much as they wish,
always keeping up the supply. I think our
stocki know bettor tban wo do whon tboy want
salt as they do when they want water, and when
thoyhsve eoton all tho salt thoy ornvc, they
will eat no more. "When they bavo grass in tbo
summer they will cat sail every day. From my
own esporionco, I am sure that oows will give
more olid better milk by having froo access lo
salt than when deprived of it. From my own
oiperieuco and observation, I have no doubt
that a great share of tho disease among stock,
is in consequence of their being stinted with
salt. Should any of your readers bo disposed
to give attention to Ibis subjeot, I would caution
them not to give froo access to salt at once, but
inorcaso tho quality by degrees for about two
weeks, otherwise they may be starved for salt
and cat so much as to injure Ihom.
Cheap Faint for Houses, eta.
A correspondent of tho Ohio Farmer gives an
account of his method of making cheap paint, as
follows :
I make a thin sizing of glue and flour, to give
one coat. This applied, 1 next sift through a
coarse strainer.a quaatity af water-limo, which I
then mix with oil and white lead, so thot the
mixture will be about one-third lead, and apply
this mixture aa the first coat upon the ailing.
Wbcn sufficiently dry, a second coat is put on, of
oil and lead. Tbo last and finishing co.it is wilh
surface paint, it would ho difficult to find. The
main body of tho house in 28 feet by 32 feet ; the
back kitchen is about 20 feet square, and one
story high. Tbo amount of material used was
4 pounds of gluo at a cost, uf SO cents ; 3 pounds
of flour, Scents; 75 pounds while lead, 637 50;
125 pounds zinc. S12 50 ; tii gallons oil, S' 31 j
total amount or material, S2S 20.
1 hove boon thus particular, for Ibe purpose of
snowing tho economy ofu'slng oil. II I bad not
first used tho sizing, iho oil would have struck
into Ibo wood, wilhoul securing Ihe wished for
benefit; then the walLT-lime ami lead, when dry,
make a bard, solid surface, which stones and
mortar will not easily affect, and becomes a com-
plete preparation to receive Ibo final finish of lead
or zino, os the choice may bo ; ond which, in my
Opinion, when lini -tit J 1- pi in ting should bo. will
provo far more durable than oil and lead applied
directly to tho surface.

"sell." But Mr. North promised to tell ua a
story, so let us listen while bo relates
Mine- is a sad talc, and I am its bcro. I have
to assume a great deal of glycly to keep my mind
from sinking under so great n burden of sadness.
I hare contemplated suicide, and I contemplate it
yet; but I am now on a pilgrimago to
"Thataellow'd ground where mt-ura'd aid mlii'd
Tbo Up* ropou ray lota baa biased."
But I do not intend to tell you my lalo in a sad
Strain, if I can help it; therefore 1 begin regular
lale-llkc, and quote a verse of poetry from a
beautiful California poetess.*

Allboojb, if hero, Ihou wculdit be lott lo me."
I bad tlie misfortune to be born poor ; and, at
tho ago Of twelve years, I had the still greater
misfortune of losing both parents. Thus 1 was
olono in a world— which some people say is all
selfishness— but I bad an inclination to work, and
Mr. Hcndrrck.onoodhc richest men in tboStatc,
gave mo all tho work 1 could do, and paid ma for
it; so I was a burden lo no one. Most of tbo
work that I bad lo do was in Mri. Hendrlck's
Sower garden ; and tbcre I found the fairest flow-
er that ever bloomed on earth.
Mary Ilend rick was tboonly being that seemed
to sympathise with tho orphan boy. Labor was
sweet when she sat by and talked to mo. She
Borer gnt a slick of candy, or anylhing of that
kind, whan I was tbcre, but she she insisted on
dividing with me. Mary had n Dower garden of
her own, and 1 used to go, when my task was
' done, and help her work her flowers. We wero
at work In her gaidcn one day, when she said :
" George, I wish you ltd plenty of money, so
yoo would not have to w Qr k all tho lime, and
could go to school with me."
" Mary," aaid I, laying down my hoe and sit-
ting down by her; " Mary, I am going to hare
plonty of money some or these days. 1>)1 ba big
| enough after a while to earn enough money to go
LOKhool every winter ; and then when I got to be
daaujvK
amarj I trill bealarrvtr. Then won't I make tho
money. And thanlmightgo toeongress. Mary,
would'nt that bo grand V
Sbo looked at me, and tho tear- of sympathy
were in her beautiful black eyes.
" George," sbo said, " George, can yon Do it!"
"loan, andleHI," said I, In a decided tone;
and I felt, that with Mary to sympathise with
me and share my glory, I could win a name sec:
ond in the annals of tha world tonono but George
Washington.
"Oh! I tell yon," eiclaimed Mary, u what I
can do 1 You know Pa gives m0 money Tory
often to boy candy and dolls, and all that sort of
thing, and I don't «ant them ; so I can jott save
noney and pin? it to you, and you can- go lo
school wilh it ! eant you Georgo ? Oh ! why did
Inot ibink or that before 7"
' ' You would not give up all your doll dresses,
and candy, and your other nice things, just to gut
me to go to school itilh yoo, would you, Maty J"
-If my Pa and Ma were dead," Bho said, "and
I had no money, and I wanted to go to school ;
and your Pa and Ma were rich, and garo you
money sometimes, lo buy putty things with,
would you spend it for the pratty things, or would
giro it to mo 1"
Iwonldgivo it to you," said I, "because I
loio you, and you aro sooh a good girl."
Well," she said, " I lore yOu too, I believe
I love you better than Pa and Ma."
Tow here is a half dollar," abewn lino (il, and"
at tho samo time handing tho money to me.
Take this, and I'll get some more soon, and
directly ire will bare enoogh for you to go to
school on."
Mary," said t " I can't take your money. I
a got a little of my owo ;" and I took her to
comer or tbc garden and dog op a bag In
which I had doposited one hundred five cent
pieces, all of which I had got one at B time.
» Oh 1" said she, " you can go to school now."
Why, you have got plenty of money for that."
"Yes." said I; "I coold pay for schooling, but
I coold not pay for board."
Wo saw Mrs. Head rick coming into the gar-
den, and I again buried my money, and wo went
to meet her. Mary began to gather flowers, and
by tha timo wo met her mother she had a One
bouquet, which she presented to her and said :
" Jla, I want George to go lo school with me ;
and if be can pay Mr. Wright for his schooling,
won't you let him slay here and board."
"Who would tend tho garden," said Mrs. K.
"No one else could or would do it as well as
George,"
" I'll tell you now," said Mary, and she spoke
wilh animation, ,: what wo can do. Why, George
aming at
mill
school, and tbco como
home again in the evening and work till night.
Yes, and I can help him too."
Mrs, Bcndrick looked at her child In ultcr as-
tonishment, ibat ono so young (for sho was only
eleven) coold over hit upon such apian. But she
told me that 1 might use my pleasure about it.
Tho next morning I went to school, and went'
to pay for tho session in advance ; but iho teacher
told mo it was paid. I asked him who paid it,
but ho would not tell me. I did not Bod out who
paid the money for years after, and then I found
that it was Mary. She had let the old teacher
into her confidence, and made him promise not
tell.
At every elimination I carried otT the prise.
I wanted Mary to see what I could do ; and she
always felt prouder at my success than she did at
her own. Wo often talked of the future, and
neither of us can recollect when we first agreed
to gat married.
People may laugh if they like, at the attach-
ments of children, but I know that they may be
as lasting as those or older hearts) In fact, our
early impressions aro always the mast lasting,
and our early afl'eclions arc always tbo strongest.
A man will always love the homo of bis child-
hood, for no other reason than that bo loved it
when a boy. A Laplander may roam lo tho green
fields and sonny cliinolo of Italy ; ho may cvou
got to OALiroBNia, hut ho will slill lore bis own
native icebergs, where ho sported in bis youth.
A man may be born and raised under a despotic
government, and emigrate in his manhood lo
America: 'The loud of the free, the home of the
brare." He will honor and lovo her Tree institu-
tions, and li necessary lay down bis life lo prO'
servo them as a legacy lo Ilia children; but he
will Imi i- the hills and the rocks over which ho
played in his boyhood,, although a despot sways
his scepter over Ibein. Then if yoo ask why ho
does not love despotism also J I have only to say
tbat a boy's loio of liberty is stronger in any-
country than tbo man's. But I am wandering
from my story.
At the ago or seventeen, an eminent lawyer re-
quested me to color bis office and study law.
Even Ibis was Mary's affair, for I afterwards
found out that she had got Mr. Wrfghl,thoschool
teacher, to speak to him about it. While in that
office I studied sixteen hours every day, allowing
myself five hours fur sleep and three for recrea-
tion. I knew that Mary expected something
extra. My preceptor and other older man told
mo that I would ruin my consli;ution i but Mary
would kiss me for my efforts, and I would re-
double them. Can you wonder, that I worshiped
her. I wanted lo gain honors and wealth for no
other purpose than to sec ber enjoy them. At
tbo end or two years from tho timo I entered Iho
law office, I went before Judge L-, who was the
strictest examiner in Ibo State, and asked for
license. He asked mo if I was willing to stand
a publio examination 7 I replied in Ibo sfBrma-
llre; and accordingly I had to prepare my cour-
age to face, not only one Severe btwyor, but the
whole bar. When the limo came, tha courlhouso
was crowded; and I don't bollore there was a
,. fnlih.rm;
man there that came out ol mere Curiosity ; each
one wished lo give mo an encouraging smile. I
saw thifcancl wont through tho examination with-
out watering; When it was over, I received the
warm press uro of bundrcda of hands. At that
same term of tbo court a man was to he tried for
bis lifo. My preceptor and another eminent law-
yer were his counsel ; and they agreed to enter
my name as an attorney in tho case, and putmo
forward in the examination of the witnesses;
for if I did not bring out Ihe testimony as it
should be, why they could como in. Tho main
wilncss for the Slalo was introduced, 1 saw
that ho was swearing falsely; and on the cross-
examination I got excited i I forgot thot I was
yet a boy. I got after him so closo that ho
contradicted himself all round. I madea speech
lo tbo court and impeached him on his owd
loatimony. The District Attorney entered a
nolle prosequi, and tho prii
I now made np my mind t
I came, nnd but Tew lawyers have had more prac-
tice than I, I made money Tost ; 1 enjoyed Mary's
loveond was happy. Butmy fortnno was doomed
to torn. I got a letter from Mary stating thot
her father had gone Into some rash speculations
and was about to fail. She said that ho wasnbout
crnsy over it, for ho had to raise ten thousand dol-
lars in less than three months or be sold out at
sheriff's sale. I had tho money and I scotit; but
it seems that he did not get it.
Ono of his creditors, Mr. S-, came Trom New
York down lo sec him, aud, as be was a bach-
elor ho fell In lovo with Mnry. Her father saw it,
and importuned her day nnd night not to refuse
him. Mr. S. could not slay long, so ho proposed
and was accepted ; he then insisted on baring the
wedding over. He released tbc old man from all
liability to him, and lent him tbo money to pay
the rest of his indebtedness.
Ton will think, perhaps, Mr. Feddlor, Ibat
Mary was bought, if yea do, just listen to this
letter, and you will acknowledge that there existed
ono woman who could not bu. bought-
My Own Dear Georgo: Our happiness has
ended. I am lo be a hrido tomorrow morning,
and to-morrow evening a corpse. My mind is
made up and every thing is ready. In duty to
ray father, I will become a bride: in doty to you
1 will become a corpse- You can understand
tbo necessity of my becoming a bride, when I
remind you tbat my father broke, and Mr. S., his
largest creditor, came down here and took n fancy
to me. My father came down on bis knees to
me — can you imagine a father on his knees to
his daughter, and bar slill refusing his request?
11a said that ho would as certainly slay himself
as tho sheriff sold his place, and turned him a
beggar upon tho world ; ho would be tho scoff, he
said, of those who were »l ways JcalouBnnd envious
of his wealth. I consented. Do you blame mo?
I have lo<cd you all ray life. When a child I
told you so. I premised to ho faithful lo you ;
and it is my duty to be so ; but duty requires
mo to obey my father. There is but one way lo
dp both, and that Is first to obey him, and
then — suicide. I fear not death ; all the sting he
has is tho thought that you will bo unhappy.
After the ceremony is over to-morrow, I shall
go inlo my room aud open my neck vein, and
tho veins in my arms. That is Iho way tho old
Itomans used to die. I have said it, you know
that I will do It.
I know your disposition George, and I know
that you can never bo happy on Ibis earth, and I
know that you will plant a flower on my grave
and water il with tears. You, George, can bo
true lo my memory, and Iho out your allotted
lime ; and if you can't be happy and be useful lo
yourself, perhaps you can be of use to your fellow
In the world to come, there are no monoy-
wor.-.liiiiiH.'r.H, and Wo will bu permitted to enjoy
each other's company through alt eternity.
I am, CJcoigc,
Your loving and otfectionale
Many.
I am now on my way to her grave, where I
intend to plant a flower, water it Drat with my
tears, then with my blood. The earth has no
joys for mo, for my Mary is dead,

Tuie is
one of tbo most
important subjects
that ud bo
brought before tho minds o
these
who look to tbo permanency
of California
The
wising of Grain, the shipn

ration, and every aid anil cncoorageinenl given
by capitalists for tbe safe shipment of this pro-
duct lo tho places mentioned.
It il a very great mistake to talk about the
oill of Oor surplus and overstock ; il Ie our duty
to grow all ice can, to give more attention to tho
science of cultivation and tho cost of raising
Urge crops, and it is the duty of all good citizens
to find as many nutlets as possible, and (o facili-
tate its shipment abroad by all (ho means in their
power, remembering that every Ion sent away is
so much gain to tho country, bringing back (hu
wealth from abroad and increasing tho value of
tbo Crop left behind.
There can be no longer a doobt upon Iho mind
of any reasonable person at all conversant with
(ho subject, that wo can compete successfully with
tho grain growers of the other States; for wo can
grow twice or thrico as much pei acr.'. and the
freight is so low that our extra crops will more
tbln overbalance the pries of tabor. What ship-
ments have been made have given a character to
oar grain anil it is now preferred in (ho Eastern
Market and commands a margin over thai of
Eastern growth. Could we have a communication
between this port and Southampton via Australia
direct, wo could place our grain in Enropo cheap-
er than they can from Chicago. We have con-
versed with heavy capitalists and can assure all
those parties thai wish (o ship grain tbi
and realize at once, (hat i-o can place tl
vay to do this most satisfactorily, Tor all (he
money that is needed on the shipment of grain
can be hid, even though it should count in
mil] loos.

there arc causes at work which must favorably

Ihero are causes always at work, that if not un-

It Bill bo recollected that (he war of Europe
gave a stimulus lo irado here, and tho grain
markets of Europe u'cro materially affected by
tbo war; yet the sudden cessaliun of that war
did nolsoscrinuslyaffect us asoncwould suppose,
II was this sudden break off to the war, however
that caused a fall in grain, and all other articles'
of produce, and has for tbo entire (imo since
greatly depressed Irade ; yet but few cveo reflect
enough lo attribute It lo the right cause. Had
war continued, high prices and active business
would have ruled. Wo however only point lo
these facts. There are other causes that affect
the prices of produce materially and we call ut-
Unlion to iho article wo append, and oak if such
causes and ulhers like (hem, would nut materially

here will produce similar results, and wc call at-

Hownvsn intensting may bo tho sight of tho

pleasant about it, so much to regret ia tho associa-
tions connected therewith, that tho shining gold
loses tho greater part of its value in tbeso remem-
brances. Id the first place, this gold is eo Ecarce
in the people's pockets,- it is so hard to get, and,
when obtained, eo bard to keep, that each, txcenly
seems like aunngel visitant, "fowntid fur between."
They are like the phosphoric lights that wc see In

if wa grasp at them, llicy nro gone. Then, if we

unlit wc cease sending it abroad for those articles

motion, color, which is displayed throughout
the irholo extent of the universe. But upon man,
this seal is not o nlj" stamped upon his physical

Who does not love to look upon and coni
plate the great variety, and wise adaptation,
played in tho garden of nature? Every different
kind ol fruit, and Bower, has its own peculiar prop-

pral, as also the instructive moral lessons which
they teach. Tho rose, for instance, challengi
our admiration, while tho violet claims our lav.
nor woold tho latter meet with mora regard

delicate tints could not bo seen io the distant

A Pleasant Letter.
The following very interesting letter from a
lady correspondent we feel proud lo publish,
incing as it does a deep interest in tho cause
of Woman, physically, intellectually, and morally,
t number showed the bettor times coming
use that should be dear to the heart of
Bver of his country. Tho letter shows
ire is among our fanners' wives an intclli-
orlhy of woman, and it will awaken, we
right spirit among them. Wo hopo wo
shall hear Irc-m H. E. S. and many others, often.
We with that all our subscribers would regard
tho "Poetical Dunn" as delicately as our friend ;
thu practical part of it wo like. The terms of
our paper are §5 in advance, altcayi, and if by
courtesy it runs over the lime, surely tee should
not be the sufferers. The subscription of our
friend now remitted pays for tho year 1857, and
H. E. S. may feel assured we shall tako it as an
introduction and shall cull and sflo our friend at
the earlicsL day; the generous invitation shall
not be alighted. The kind notice of our journal
wo appreciate fully, and believe this kind letter
wilt bring us many mora subscribers.
Wo shall bo happy to hear from H. E. S. at all
times. We return grateful thanks for the inter-
est shown tho cause we love :

You may not be acquainted with mo; neither
am I personally with you ; but I hare read the
Fanned carefollyfor more than a year, and I
feel, while reading, as though I was hearing from
an old friend ; for I read many things that ac-
cord wilb my views. Many good and sensible
things have been willtcn by my own sex, and I
hate been delighted and benlrtted while reading
r sentiments and ideis held out by thu op-
tho Fhhsier of the 19th uIl I read
which came home nearer than any-
thing I hare read before. The piece is called the
"Poetical Dun." I will not say iho dunning had
anything to do with my experience, but nhili
reading it in our family, 1 could not but think it
bad a meaning for rat ; and as I held to be pretty
much ol a practical woman and admire honesty
and truth, why I know it was right to send yoi
five dollars. I know the rulo is to pay in ad
ranee, but when I subscribed for the I'aiimkii
over a year ago, I sent by a friend, and did unlge

What would wo poor debils do without dun 7
Let us be born as young, as ugly, an,i M helpless
as ivo please, and a woman's arms are open tn
recebo us. She it am who g.ihs us our li.v, do-.-
Ob castor oil, and puts cloio 'poll our hclpli'-.-!v
naked liml.j, and euburs up our fools and loses
in long flannel petticoats ; and il am she who, as
wo grow up, fills our dinner basket wid .!■■... - ii.it--
and apples as wo start to skool. and lick us whin
we tear our trowsis. Il is she who. in our mnn-
hood, makes de moon brighter and bicker, and
du stars to twinkle in do Hrminent, nid de splen-
did glory. (For Uko woman out Ob do world,
and it would lose much or its beauty.) Il '8 she
who robs trouble ol half its sting, when de trou-
ble ain't 'boul anuddor woman. It am she who
watches In do sick room, and gobs you the calo-
intT and jullop nnd rubub, and curmn jelly, mid
it am she who slicks to you in do last hoi u
life, and consoles do trubled spirit as long
sticks lo dis mortal body. Who can help lubin
liko the precioi

upon Iho ground, in quiet meditation, wo inhale
the swoel breath of the violet — while pressing it
lo our lips, holier thoughts arc awakened in the
heart, and we instinctively associate it wilh the
pnrcsl and loveliest beings of earlb. And If this
law is so beautiful and appropriate among tbe
Ihn crs, bow much more so when applied lo the
Ihrt. fold nature of man. How many varied and
distinct beauties might bemada looppear, if every
one would but be true to bis own originality, for
everything you say or do.in order to be pleasing
must be nalunL and that too the offspriog and
perfection of your own nature.
The minds of men seem to be formed more or
less prirtmatically, often viewing tbo same subject
in different lights, and but few, perhaps, possess:
mental [acuities so evenly balanced as to present
always a clear light to tha understanding, even
whun brought to a focoa by the powerful lens Ot
reason. Therefore, it j B ollen necessary to bring
different minds lo bear upon a given subject, be-
fore tho pure light of truth U broogbt toshirn-
ctearly upon il. Thou all ^ill be able see it alike,
and perhaps wonder tboy did not see or compre-
hond it before. All should, therefore, first strive
to make their own minds clear by tho constant
Exercise ol their own faculties, that their, judg
ment may bo tendered correct ; and then lot thorn
learn to read and Interpret for themselves, hoth
the revealed and natural lawaof Qod, which must
ever harmoniw, and not lo depend upon the con-
•truciuoand interpretations or olhcra who havt
10 greater access lo Ihoir sublime mysteries and
a they
new truths night not thus be brought to ligh
which might bear directly or indirectly upon the
amelioration ol the condition of mankind.
One of the brightest examples of the fulfill,
of this law ol individuality that perhaps has
lived, waa Benjamin Pranklin, and io obeying
this first law of his being, ho achieved almost
miracles, and earned an undying famo,»nd stands
ike the Farukr, for many reasons;
only because it meets my own views on some
subjects, hut because it docs not tako tho reader's
no in reading what is of no benefit, either lo
o wrilcr or reader. I hclicro it to bu a useful
per in a family, and can be read with pleasure
id profit by crery member thereof. It is a
paper that every Farmer should hive in ins duell-
ing, whether married or single. Wu llvo on a
ranch, neatly ten miles from a post oltice. and it
least a week uld when wo gel il; but it is no
less interesting on that account. Our man folks
all liko to read il, and are always willing to tako
thejournoy lo bring it home.
We often read and hear of your visiting other
parts of tho State, and nf the pleasant reception
■llh. YTe are likewise gild to hear
of the improvements made in Agriculture through-
out the Stale. Wo arc not doing as much in this
Valley as our neighbors aro in other places ; but
il you ever come into this part of the country,
e shall he very glad indeed If you will make us
visit. Wo cannot promise you as many good
things, nor show you as much of the beautiful as
other Farmers have dune; but of one thing
asurcd, you ahell ho received wilh both open
hand and heart. I am a Farmer's wife, and my
husband with myi ■• If join in .- ij ing, call and fee
us; wo ore plain people; but wo will treat you
to the best wo have.
I hire often thought I would write a few lines
to the Fa it ji eh, as regards the employment, and
interest. Farmer's Wives and Daughters might
lake In relation to a Garden or Farm. I know
the objection will be raised, that wo hare so much
lo do inside tho house. So wo have -, hut stand-
ing for hours ovor a eookstovo never will improve
health. But I will close for the present, hoping
that the arrears or the FAHSiRn may speedily find
Iheir way lo the editor*' office, and that you ma
have many more subscribers, that truth may cii
culate until it reaches every family,
I hopeyoo will excuaelhe liberty 1 have taker

Shaffer. For many years it bis boon hn ranstan
Tjlessurc and ■ part of his rotation, to Mll«l th
natural eurios.iies lo bo found in our hills and
Mllevs, brooks and rivers. He has paid (special
■lUDtiOO to conchology. and has, after re pes ted
,..,, . ;i.ntu!f, succeeded in giving a polish to our
common mnsclo shells, which makts them union*,
Iho most beautiful of our fresh-rvaler shells. He
has sent a. groat many of them lo distant coun-
tries, in exchange foi'shells of other climes, and
the, invariably elicit the highest admiration. In
performing (Mb labor Mf.S'haffcr bis often foond

generally small, however, and he did not Ihmk it

One is while, slightly tinged nilh t-urn'oti '. n

inch long! It' was latren from a shell picked '•}■
in il.t Mule Miami river, about ten milrs from
tho city. The other, ond we think tbo prettiest
one is of oval form, full half an inch in length,
and unc-lhird of an inch in breadth ; it is a bril-
liant purple, and was taken from a rbell I'-unrJ in
tho Ohio river near the city. Mr. SlulTcr says
Ibey arc the most beautiful pearls ba ever saw,
and from the prices paid for the Jersey pearls
ibBV most bo of great value.
These are the focls. Mr. Shaffer is confident
tbal the fresh-natcr muscle atolls abound in
pearls, and his opinion is worthy of i-rcT. «ei-l.t.
If il i* confirmed, pearl gatherers will m"ioii uV'li

A Country School Bmu«.
We remember n litllo incident whioh occurred
in our native village, many years since which
.as never yet aeon In print, but It ft a "><* ">
history that has not boon loot io ita influence.
The great Cattle Market of Now England i* es-
tablished at Brighton, Maw., ana thoro on every
Monday is congregated many thousand head of
atcok, of oil deacriptioni, nua tboao iutorcstod
in the purchase and aalu of stock, from all aec-
tioDs of the country around, go there. So im-
in.rtant is the business transacted that it now
daunts to mlliw of dollar annually. To
this market often oomo in tho nututnu. large
droves of the farmers' fat cattle of Ohio and
Kentucky, end by their appearance Ibey ore
quickly known; tho heavy, steady tread of
these largo, red and white or mottled animals,
indicating whence they come.
The time to which wo rotor, largo drovea hod
oomo from tho west, from Ohio and Kontuoky,
mora especially from tho latter, uud mony very
Sao caltto were pointed oat in tho yards, as
from the farm of tho "Sago of Ashland," and
said (hat Mr. Clay was also to visit ihe East, and
would come to visit thin great market, where his
Hook was to bo seen. Without regard to party
fooling all the good citUens of tho prosperous
villogo turned out to dohonorto the patriot and
statesman, and ho was escorted around the place.
Daniel Webster accompanied Henry Cloy, and
was in tho some carriage, and as they wore
riding round and throagh that village and pass-
ing "round tbo square" (n circuit of about a
mile and a half), where stood on the way some
three or four school houses, this boys ana girls
wore oil anxious to see thorn ; so they wore per-
mitted to "come oat of school" aa these great
raeo went by. and as Now England boys and
girls are always taught, they paid Ihtir rapects
to such men by tho bow una tho cortsoy. Afte
passing several scenes like those, Mr- Cloy turn
to Mr. Webster, saying, "I am delighted wit
these bountiful eocnee, these happy faces i ho'
neat nnd clean all theio chiiareq appear! Hoi
is it, Mr. Wobster? Whot mokes ao much dif-
ference among children of the same country!
What makes your ohildren of Mow England bo
bright and so happy!"
"Look," said Webster, as thoy wero then
nesting another school house, "there, there, flee
you that liltlt building On tho corner lot I It h
that Ultle ithoal hauie that does the work !"
Yea, iti» the eountrysohool house; ana good
men and great men liko Webster and Cloy, have
■sen ond will always see and recogniro the
"country school bouse." where tho children can
all bo educated together. Wo hnvo introduced
thin anscdoto to show the value put upon coun-
try school bouses, by Iho statesman Websler.
and to iatrodacu the very able Addroas of ooi
friend and Teacher. His Address does honor |..
his head and heart, and is full of most excellent
thuugbt. That broad philanthropy which taken in
a whole Union, which knows no North, no South,
no East, no West, where a gooa ia to bo nccom-
pliahed — this ia tho right spirit for Culiforoin.
To oor Schools WO look for the right .-. [>i ri t In
bo inculcated; educate tho young aright,
we need bavo no fear of onr Union.
This Address was delivered at Santa Rosa,
Sonoma county, on tho second woek of Jnly,
before tho Teachers and friends of Education ir
that coonty, and was received, as it deserved,
with marked applonso. Wo desiro to mention a
pleasing foot, of our uwn obaorvatioo : On onr
way to tho beautiful town of Santa Rosa, wo
stopped, us is always our Custom, ot a very neat
nohool bouse, a few miles short of tho town, and
onteied tho school room; although a perfect
stranger, wo wero courteously rccr-iv,-,!. ,u„i
beard the (imitations of tin. 1 pupil*. Tho boys
and girls wero all neat ana tidy, and recited
remarkably well. From what wo saw wo feel
assured that distriot has a very faithful teacher
in Mr. Bibcock. The appearance, conduct and
recitations of tho scholars, was a warrantee
deed of a faithful "school master."
Wo oommend n careful perusal of this Ad-
dress, and hope much good will result to tho
cause of Common- Sehool Education.

You will recollect, perhaps, that several days
ago, this man Jockson came here, and took up
board with us. I saw thit there was something
wrong, the day after his arrival, and I was deter-
mined to llnd out more. Yesterday, i heard (no
matter how) the following conversation between
these two worthies.
"Well, then," said Jackson, u it is decided that
we atari the day after tomorrow ; but I don't like
the idej o( killing- that irerirjt much ;
was no reply. I opened it, and walked in. There
p a scene I Both the men (Selden and Jack-
) fcyon tho same bod; bat thoy wore both
dead. Tbo bed looked like » pool or coagulated
blood. It was evident that thoy had both died
without « struggle. Tho cradle, with tho child
it, stood in tho mlddleof tho room, and near it
lay tho Tletim of man's cruelly. She loo, was
dead- but she had been avenged. Iho same
knife that had killed— I won't say murdered— the
ntn, was slicking in ber bosom; where, I
think that an evil thooght had over entered,
previous to bcr knowledge of how she had been
deceived. ,
Around the child's neck was a piece of paper.
lest Of' thTmothcr^f this child, thnt .Mr. S. take
charge of it. and do with it as ho shall think
"«6t." , .
It is only nocc=-m h>r mo in mi-, further, that
. took the child, and thnt T found lb..- innr.n nil

and rant her the monev.as requested to do. I
nursed that child myself, and for three years I

-We will leave her a little money then,"
Selden, at least what ihe has laid away."
"Money be d d!" said Jackson, "I'll tell
you. she is good looking enough to make a liii
anywhere, and she will suun come lo It"
••Yes, but that Is the reason I don't want

Mo Excelionca 'Without Labor.
__;ro is perhaps no general principle more
fullr established lhan (his— that there is no ojt-

soring labor; no great eniorrjri-a-s have been car-
ried out without labor. How did Alexander

inquerer of all the then known world, who
wept when there were no more worlds to con-
quer? How did Cicsar eitend his conquests
until he made Rome the mistress of the world?
How did Napoleon— at the mention of whose
name the heart of the Frenchman even now
thrills with feeling, and bis eye kindles with
emotion— starling in life with no friend but his
sword, tight his way upward till ho became Em-
peror of Prance? How did ho at the head of

A Day Among tho Horveators.
We loot a homed trip across llio Boy this
week, to look at the Harvesters tkot have just
begun their ihrashluB in the fluids around Son
Lcaudro and on the Sou Lorenzo Creek. It is a
busy time now, and when odd of Pcmgo'.-i ten-
barso powers nio at work, they muko "ntraws
tly." Al«ng the entire road, nftm; you leave
Brooklyn, you see signs of the harvesting so
son. and there il proof enough had, wborev
yon go, of nn abundant harvest every whom.
Wo first vli>i ted n group of Harvesters about
two miles from Sun Leundro, near tho San JjQ-
renao creek, the fields of Mr. Lorenio Mattie-
son— u Danish countryman, — and here no would
my i that no found in this vicinity quits a num-
ber of Daces of o very industrious character,
and oil busy in harvesting their orops; n very
hard -working, industrious set of men, ouch men
that add to tbo wealth of any country. Wo
fuund hero Messrs. Phillips & Taylor, with their
machine, men ond horses, thrashing tho crop of
It if important to stole bore, that over our
enure State there are men and firms that have
Thrashers and horses and workmen, who muko
contracts, and go from farm to form to thrnah,
oleon and bog the Crops of grain growers.
They can do this cheaper than the grower, often,
far tho coat of o harvesting implement is of so
much value, with horse j and men, that it would cost
more than u large form is valued at in the East.
To show this, we would stole, that tho Machine
in un that wo here saw was one of Spencer's
best, with Perrigo's len-borso power. The im-
plement, complete, worth 81,000; tho team of
horses in oso consisted of four pairs, worth^COO
per pair, and one spnn, gSSO — making 84,250-,
thus employing ten horses. If tho grain is loose
In the field, it requires twenty men; if bound,
fifteen men; this is the whola number required.
If tbo grain is loose, four teams aro required to
haul tbo grain; and if bound, three teams. One
of these implements will thrash as fast as three
teams can haul and supply tho grain, and keep
tho entire twenty men In. full work. From 500
to 300 sacks of. grain is tho result of a day's
work, according lo the yield of tbo gri
teams to supply, ono moo to haul away tho
straw, ono lo cut, two to feed, ono to lend thi
power, one to fill tho bags, ono to remove, am
una to sew to np and finish.
Tho cost of thralling and cleaning, now, is cN
oeuta per hundred pounds, finding men, teams
e per bushel, furnishing litre.
Large Sato of Merino Sheep.
We record below the sale or the Merino Sheep
noticed by us in Our last issue, a sole that Is ol
great importance to our State.
The attendance was large, several hundred per-
sons being present, although many were brought
thither from curiosity rather than as purchasers.
Tho prices wcib much below what was anticipated
and what was indeed thefr value, yet from the
short notice of this sale, since their arrivol, and
tho scorcily of oro. the price was tolerable. 0n<
thing is certain, if tho importers have not real-
ized n profit, Iho Stile of California will, and ttu
iporters. Messrs. Mneondray & Co., hare done a
good deed for tbe Stale.
Tho Sheep were put up in lots of twenty Ewes
Ram. The following is the sale as it
rred:

There mar be some slight errors in tho names
of purchasers, as they were not called distinctly,
bul we believe Such were the real purchaser;
The price is correct, These sheep were or nios
excellent quality. Tboy were very llnowoolcd
Sheep; rather small bodies, which probably hud
su influence on the price they brought, a« many
persons look to the eatcaie of the sheep fo

Tho Mechanics' Palnoo.
Tue dome of the Mechanics' Hall ol Exhibition
now ncurs its proud swelling head, and looms up
over iho city, as a taken of tho superiority of
labor over wealth. Frum One end of our State to
tho other tho "nolo of preparation" soundeth,
and the Mechanics of California will not he back-
ward! In showing to the world what they can do.
Woluokupon this Exhibition or tho Mechanics'
tho history of California. It will tell upon her
character, her name and fame, and upon her pros-
perity through alt coming lime. This is the au-
spicious moment. If the Mechanics of our State
but realize this and " take tbo tide at its Good,"
it will assuredly roll tbom on to fame, fortune
and prosperity, and our Stale will awaken from
the lethargy and despondency that now rusts upon
Malos vs. Horses.
Tub longevity of tho mulo has become eo pro-
verbial, that a purchaser seldom inquires his ago.
Pliny gives an accounted" ooo taken from Grecian
hislory, that was eighty years old s and though
post labor, followed others that were carrying ma-

Phillips & Taylor bare as fine a team of horses
u we have seen hitched to a machine, for a long
while, and do their work promptly and woli.
To do work to the best advantage, regard is
to bo had to position. Wo noticed that Messrs.
P. li T. cross their belt, thus saving ond hold-
ing power, and they feed tho machine on tho
right aide ; by loading on tho left side tho sup-
ply teams arc brought in too close contact with
the hordes oq the power, and they might endan-
ger n fright and nrunawoy of tbo horses, as has
once occurred, l.j- the clipping uf the belt and
lulling all loose. By crossing tho bolt and load-
ing on tbo right aide, gives moro space, end wo
think is a belter plan. Wo would urgo upon
all harvesters of grain tbo importance of clean-
ing their groin more carefully than in former
years. Millers complain loudly of b careless
rununrf often seen, in sending grain to market
half cleaned. If grain growers knew their own
iptureil, Ihey would use more care; one-fourth
or ono-hall cont per ponnd on grain, makes a
hoop of monoy on a largo crop.

nud what has produced this stagnation in this

From what has been slated respecting the lon-
gevity Of tha mule, wo think it may bo foirlv as-
sented that he does not deteriorate more rapidly
after twenty years of ago than tho Itorso dousarier

much greater facility.
It Is full time to bring our comparison to .

that tho farmer who substitit.es mules forhor^

THE BRIDE OF THB OR AVE;
Or, Love, Parity nnd Fidelity.
ITae following beautifully written sketch trill
be peiu»«l with pleasure. There is n style alwul
it peculiarly plcafing, aod wc hope oftuu Io hear
from "Edith;' 1 ] —
It was n summer's afternoon, the earth hod just
been baptized in a refreshing shower, onJ Kerned
smiling through her tears, as the bright drops
Rlisico'^ in the sunlight, and slowly they dropped
from treo and Bower. On the pinna or the United
States Hotel at Saratoga, stood nn elderly gentle-
man, who was from the Sooth, nnd leaning on his
ana for support wis his inratid daughter,", fragile
flower, which seemed fast fading away, bnt who
bad been brought here by her kind father, hoping
that the water and change of air might revive, if
not restore to health, this only surviving blossom
of the family tree. They were looking upon a
bright rainbow, the great seal or God's promise—
o! which bot half is seen here, (he circle will be
complete iu eternity. They gazed upon it, and as
it slowly faded away the old man sighed, nod said
in a low tone, "thaa is it over with oor brightest
hopes!" and as he looked npon his daughter '
a pass from his long'
n of the rainbow,
op to them a ycong
saw that she, too. wonld B
jug gaze, like the bright vi
At Ibis moment there ca
mail, of prepossessing appearance,* hose iolellectoal
face bespoke a highly cultivated and refined mind;
be held in his hand a beautiful bouquet, which be
presented to the fair invalid, and said—
"Lillie, woold yoo not like to ride oot now, as
the dnst is laid by the shower, and everything
looks so fresh and 1-eantifol I"
"Yes, Edgar, I think it woold do mo good to
breathe this fragrantair;" nnd then potting nn her
bonnet and shawl, which her father brought onl
to her, the was assisted down the steps and into
the carriage, and they drove oway.
That fragile being was Edgnr's oHianeed bride,
and one year before, when Brst their faith was
plighted, (be rose ilself was uot more blooming;
bnt a fearful rival hod since presented himself, who
seemed determined to make her his own, in spile of
the jcaloos care with which was guarded every
avennc of his insidious approach.
A few daya afttr this, Lillie sat by her window
watcbioj; ibe sou as it slowly .]i;jp[>._-iirni h;hin.|
ibe western hills, while softly the crimson curtains
of day were folded together for the night, and
clasped with the bright evening star. Edgar, who
had entered the room nnperccived, stood still,
gazing npon that lovely face, as it glowed in the
mellow light or tha lost rays of the setting sun ;
she looked to clhcrealized thai ho felt as if he was
in the presence °f a spirit; at length he approach-
ed her and said, "what are you thinking or, Lillie,
yon seem to be in deep meditation I"
"I was thinking," Baid she, "why we might not
be so renewed an J renovated, by deep and repose at
night, that wc might, like the sun, begin each day
with the same vi|.-,.r and undiminished luster."
"Perhnps we may," said Edgar, "when we hive
learned to trace lifo from iu source and back
again to its fountain head ; but," said he, taking a
chair and seating himself close by her side, and
then taking her hand in his, "dearest Lillie, coald
1 bnt call yon mine. I sbould be so happy."
She looked up with a smile, and said, "I am
jour's, am I not! and wc will be married when I
get a little belter."
Bnt he raw too plainly that would never be,and
he added, "will yon not be mine now, Lillie!"
"Tea," said she, 'if you are willing to many a
shadow." He fell but loo deeply the truth of her
remarks, hut thai ihodow was Iho einct image of
his heart's Ideal, and should be not bo permitted
to call her his bnt n few days on earth, he fell
that their union woold be eternal, in that land
where separation is not known.
"But Edgar," said she, "you must go to Uio ball
to-night, alias Arabella wis here a few minute*
ago, asking if you were nol going, saying she
Should bo very moth disappointed if yon did not
attend, far she said she thought jou one of Hie fimst
yooogmen here; and now for so Eneo compliment
from so fine a belle, you must not refuse to go."
"Bulyoa will leave me to my own cholco, will
yoo not!" said Edgir.
"Yea, if you make It honestly. But I cannot
but Ihlnk you often deprive toorsolf ol miny en-
joyments, to bo of service and company lor me
and Idonotwish todeprive yoo ol the least plea-.
V KNiU-il
•-Well, then, It will afford me -
pleasure lo sit here, and read or talk I
say no more about u„ ball, for I do'nol wlshw
go to night."
With her whilo hand she put back his dark
glossy hair, from his polinhcd brow, and im-
printed a kiss thereon, as a reward for bis pt
devotion. And a Cow hours after, when he hid
bidden her good night, and walked out upon the
balcony and gazed upon Iho uemmed vault of
heaven, while the queen of night looked serenely
down upon him; tho music and volees of Iho
marry dancers, which Here wafted from the win-
dow of Iho brilliantly illominnted hall opposile,
were but discordant Bounds upon tho car of bil
chastened spirit,
A monlh rolled away. Lillie and her father
wore about to return to their southern homo-
Edgar pleads for the right to accompany her
ber husbsnd-lho old man proses his hand with
an affectionate grasp, and says, " she cannot stay
long with uk;" bot as ho sees their undying love
for each other, ho assents, and ibe nclt Sabbath
Lillie is seen arrayed in bridal robes, standing at
the altar, leaning upon that arm which was to
willing, but powerless, to save her from bis dread-
ed rival. And as the minister arose before them
and ratified those holy bonds, which already wen-
bound In hcavrn, and as ho pronounced tho last
sentence— ■' until death do os part"— bis voice
faltered, and while he blessed ihcm, a low mur-
mur and stlfflcd Mibs were heard among tho con-
gregation, while ho rtaid to the bridegroom, " put
your trust in God. for great are his mercies:
(hough in my or his ways are past finding ool.
trust him Tor his grace."
Thot evening, as Edgar sat with hisangel bride
leaning opon his bosom, while be playfully
twisted her lung silken curls around his fingers,
he said, '■ I am so happy to call you mine, dearest
-my wire." Still he Telt that undeUimble reel-
ing which had ever clung around his heart like a
serpent, whenvcr he had called her his. Sbo
pointed lo a va*u containing a beautiful bouquet
or white lilicf. saying, ■ThoEeore a present for jou,
Edgar, for you always say (hose (lowers remind
you of me; and now," said she, " sing mo 'tho
Lost Bom ol Summer,' for I feel exhausted from
the [atigiio and excitement of to day ; but Ihope
to bt veil in the morning." lie sang tho song
in his rich, musical voice, but when he ceased
singing, she bad fallen asleep. Alas ! he found it
was Ibat sleep which knows no waking, until

Doca High Intellectual Culture Promote
Domestic Happiness ?
We Invito discussion upon the questions io-
volved. in tho following letter from Sylvia, for
they are of great moment; and whilo ih ere is a
largo doss of men who ridicolo Hie idea of wo-
man's equality with man, or tho necessity or
benefit of their being highly educated, we believe
the truly intelligent ol this and every other Stale
attribute the present lamentable, evils that exist
in tho social relation as resulting entirely Irnm a
want of proper regard [or tbeeducation of woman,
Educated girls secure lo us educated mothers,
and it is in their power to make the world wiicr,
better and happier. On thi
bility of our future homes.
Mb. Editoh : Allow me a Fmall space in your
piper lo repeat a serilimenl advanced not long
since by a gentleman who makes pretensions to
a place among the literati nf Iho city where ho
resides, and considers himself one of " the intel-
leclajl," and, consequently, opinions from such
a sou rco should command our attention ; and if a
enmmunily can be benefitted by their promulga-
tion, they should not bo allowed to pass into
oblivion. But, nn the Other band should these
opinions he considered erroneous, thoy are equally
entitled lo a defence by any who may '■ beg leave
to difier."
Tbo sentiment advanced npon tho occasion re-
ferred to.and in which wo hold the right to differ,
wis— that men nf education and high menial en-
do-imenls should nol, in makingchoico of » com-
paniin /or life, choose one of corresponding
attainments and edocation ; but thai, if ihoy con-
sulicd their own happiness, they would select one
who was purely dameillc in her habits, oven
though she could nnt sympathize with him in any
of his intellectual enju> menls, or understand tho
deep reasonings and controversies in which, as a
man ofcducation.hedclighlssomuch to Indulge;
but that ho preferred ral her to mim alone within
his own capicioua mind, and lose himself pcr-
chinco within thelebyrlnth of lhought,and cared
not for one of "congenial spirit" lo Interrupt
or sharo with him ibis " higher order" of oxist-
ence. But when heshould descend from bis lofty
flight to this terrestrial sphere, conscious of his
own superiority, it was then lhat your " intel-
lectual man" enjoyed the society of a wife, or
rather her services, Ihua affording her an oppor-
tunity f fnifjiifog ber appropriilu duties by ad-
ministering lo his temporal wants ; or, in other
words, to obey his slightest word, ond anticipate
his every wlib.
Now.fl strikes me, thol iflhis Isall that Is re-
quired lo lit a woman for her station in lifu ; ibat
ell schools of a higher order, for the edocation or
young ladies, can be diipenscd with, unless to
some who may prefer tho cultivation of tho Intel-
lect, and a pursuit nf iho sciences r or Bb j ch [hoy
may have a love, even at Ibo risk of being called
•blues," or considered too highly educated for
jow "intolleeieal gentlemen," and the money
thus expended could better be appropriated to
somn benevolent object ; or perhaps it could bo
moto profitably applied in procuring the omolo-
montsor office; by which aaao political aspirant
Is suddenly raised lo tho high station which hi
unappreciated talent* have heretofore been unable
to obtain for him; and his simple-minded but
beloved companion is thereby raised lo tho sati
position In society as himself. For, according
(he theory of your '■Intellectual gentleman."
matters not what may be her deficiencies in ed
catlnn ; thoogh sbo he hut a tyro In its first rud
monts, end unablo to converse opon any subject,
aside from her domestic concerns, which, to
sore, may bo varied and interesting— sbo is just
tho companion suited to your newly titled caudi
date to official honors; and though sbo may bo
called upon lo cnlcrlaln his dislinguishcd guests,
she can detail to Ihem her trials and experience
as a housekeeper; for what more copious sub-
ject than tho delieiences and remissness of ser-
vants, and the consequences resulting therefrom ;
or what mom interesting then the experience or
a fond mother, in taking her children through tho
measles and whooping cough, and discussing f
probability of their culling teeth before
moon Is in its lost quarter, or that thoy may
tempt to walk before the right sign shall have
arrived al a certain painl in Iho zodiac, I
genial influence would greatly assist tho
creatures in their first pedestrian efforts ; but if
asked what these signs or constellations
which exert such a powerful influence upon us,
she would be unable lo nil J
But with due deference to Iho opinions of oth-
ers, and without any discouragement lo the the-
ory ol 'practical domestic education," which I
consider essential as a part of every young lady'
acquirements, I will close these desultory re-
marks by quoting a short paragraph from a wcll-
knowo female writer ; which cs presses my senti-
ments more happily than tny own pen can do.
She says, on the subject of female education :
"I do believe the reason why so few men, oven
among tbo most intelligent, wish locncoorago tbo
mental cultivation of woman, is their cut's iv
love of (ho good things of this life. They trem
bio for their dear stomachs; concluding that
woman who cultivates Iho pleasures of poetry o
Enntiment, would never descend lo pay duo atleo
tion lo tho exquisite flavors or pudding and ph
the tare so gratifying lo their philosophic palates
and yet. poor gentlemen, it is a thousand pitie
Ibey should be so mistaken ; Tor who so well as
woman of senso'ond cultivation, will feel tho res
importance or her domestic duties? Or who S
well or so cheerfully perform them 7 Yet, I sc
no reason why the best housewife in tho world
should lake more pleasure in making a ou:
pudding than In reading a fine poem. ' "
Or why she cannot fultlll the duties of her
lion with activity and success, and, at iho i
time, colli vntu th L - ruiu.l-.nf her children, usefully
and elegantly, slill allmrimr, herself to indulge
ewasionallv in IhL' m.1,1 nli.uial ol all pleagur
the pleasures uf the intellect." Sylvia.

Sprouting of Young Fotntoea in the Soil.
Enrroas Firkkh: In un article of mine which
appeared In Iho F.uiucn of the Gth June, I en-
deavored to point oat Oil- orgeat ntecssily of farm-
Ufa studying A^ri.'iik'ir.' idiot iEcolly, as the on)j
means uf enabling them to obviate difficulties of
daily occurrence. I also suggested the advantages
Vfhieh farmers had io being rvadera of the CiLiroB-
KU Faiui^h, through which lliey have no oppor-
' tunity of ti'mrauuicatiug with thu Editors and
with e-.ieh other, and thus obtaining assislnnccand
advice from those whom they, ia Lbeir taro, may
assist with something else — making the Faeuiei: a
channel whereby they may with facility cotnmuni-
eate wilh each other. The propriety of my re-
marks is illustrated by a letter in the Faiuieb or
the 17th instant, from Mr. Springer of Douglass
Flat, concerning hie potato-crop.
As Mr. Springer merely slates the fact, that "as
toon as the yuuug poialooi began to form, a second
growth would start therefrom," without Eoying
anything of the soil on which they wero ptouted,
further than that it had been well prepared for
their rcceptioD, and properly hoed, and thai it was
not naturally too moist, and had not, previous It
the circumstance which he relates, been irrigated
lam compelled to confine myself to remarks con-
nected itith the general physiology of plants, and
more pirticalarly of the potato.
When the seed ofaay plant ia pnt in thegronnd
it imbibes moisture from the soil, sod oxygen from
I the atmosphere (by which the loose soil on t
surfaci is permeated), in consequence of which
partial decomposition of its components takes pill
t commencing with those which are or a gummy na-
ture, by means of which the embryo germ of lb.
future plunt is liberated, and becomes tho com
inenceraent of another plant. Tho decomposition
( goes on, furnishing for the elongating bads, from
the farinaceous and mineral constituents. of the
seed, maUriul for its enlargement, till it has roots
strong enough to elaborate them fn>m the soil.
To toable the plunt to thrive, it is necessary that
I it have, 03 it progresses in growth, similar ingredi-
I enla of easy access In the soli. About Ibo time
, that it is in blossom the Hera and leaves are gen-
, crally in foil vigor and require a full supply, not
. only to promote its growth but also Tor other
reasons. It is soon to undergo a ena D gc Its
_ Tigor, is the seed begins io ripen, relaxes, and tie
leaves lock sickly, partly from the tissues which
conveyed the sap getting clogged up and closed,
«nd partly Jre-m its more valuable ingredients
having to be used to a considerable extent in the
forming seed ; which always contains Ihem in
greater abundance than Ibo other portions of the
plunt— nnd baa to do so, u otherwise the seed then
I forming would be incapable of baring anything
nilable with which to supply its bud, when its
turn come to become the parent of a new plunt.
As the seed ripens it dries, and in the dry slate is
incapable of geminating/; and thus Nature care-
fully performs her work, and Mao hat only to ee-
I Curi ; ™ r blessings, and enjoy her bounty,
r No sooner, however, does the seed Bud itself in
■ suitable edition as to heat,air,-nd moisture,
than it Kerminutes-sometitnes during rainy
weather sprouting on the stalk; hence,
eome.t nectary tu prevent tin very means which
Natnrohaa provided for the perpetuation of bcr
planus from pr.iviiief Ihi-ir ■!■ -uii.tiur). As an i
arnpl.. ..f Nature's proceeding., wbieb may tend to
. elucidate H,u mysterious and opp^^. onoma)ou3
freak on her part of which Mr. Springer com-
j.plaina : the cabbage and turnip, as we know in
northern | a i iluJ es (their natural dime) are h'ien-
ntalphn!,. growing one year, and ripening their
•Bed the neil year. But kt na sow cabbage of

to the growth and enlargement of the plant, and
turned exclusively to tbo furmation of seed.
Let us sec boor far these simple 1»wb of Nature
ipply to Mr. Springer's case- So long as potatoes
ire merely putting out leaves and branches, the
plant is vigorous, and all Is as it ought to bo ;
but about the time the blossoms appear, and ibo
ibors begin to form, when both top and botlom
■e draining from it the most nourishing constit-
uents of its sap, it assumes an unusual tendency
to germinate anew from the forming tubers ; evi-
dently becauso tho balance between the supply
"nd demand ha? thus been deranged to aneitent
vhich it could not wllbsland ; and, consequently,
sort nfunnnlural precocity in the tubers look
place, aa in the instance of frost on cabbage and
Is ; and instead orgoing on with tbeir
of gradual enlargement, as they
suitable i
ir, and
!• diverted from the purpose of ministering
moisture, they set aboot tbo ncut thing they
ivould have naturally dona; nimely, sprouting
mow for the production of auulher crop.
Let Mr. Springer keep in mind what would
havo been tho icuiedy in Ibo case of tho cabbago
plants. Whether tho cflcct was occasioned by
heat or frost, it was evidently produced by an
interruption of the natural economy at work for
their perfect formation, and the cure lay in pre-
venting such interruption. Perhaps, in Blr.
Springer's case, the soil is deficient in iheminerat
luents uf plants in a sufficiently soluble
state, for the double purpose for which thoy are
wanted at the time tbo blossoms and tubers nru
lg. Perhaps It has other peculiirilics,
vendor the plant of tho potato and its
forming tubers different from what thoy arc
when it is in a healthy condition. Of this Mr.
Springer may bo assured, that either Ihe asp in
tho plant is from such cause defective, or some
interruption having the effect of bringing on a
precocious maturity in (| l0 tubers has taken
place, and Hint the remedy depends on his a«
UinSng wherein the difference io bis soil cons
from that whero potatoes erow without being „
affeeled. Meantime, be might try tho effect of
polling oil the blooms. lam balf-incUncd
think tho soil waa too much loosened.

Mankind seek tor enjoyment, from the

prompts the mind to action is (hat which prom-

through life, in every department of business, and
-" --r social relations, do we seek for happi-
idycthowfow there aro who attain to
those positions, wherein thoy aro permitted to
partake of the realizations or their desires. I
will pass over the immediate causes of these re-
sults, snd confine myself moro particularly to a
consideration of tho means by which thoy may
obviated. Liko unto tbo physician, who ia
called to administer unto tbo necessities of a sick
palient, he docs not stop to enter into a review of
tho causes which engendered thu disease, but im-
mediately sets himself about tho muro important
nnd necessary duty of prescribing a remedy. In
"dcr to establish a moro healthy social system,
will first become necoasary lo root out those
ilbtds of vico nnd folly which abound through-
it tbo oitent of our Oommonwealth. I have re-
ference to all tboso various games of pastime ;
tho fountains from whence spring tho
germ of tbuse giant ovils which besot us, and un-
til thoso are effectually dried up, wo need not bono
io find relief, neither In rigid legislative enact-
ments, prnbibitury of gambling, nor yet in a re-
ligious crusade against tho gambler. Therefore,
irder to banish frnra our midst thoso idle and
seless practices it will become necessary, first
.utroduco a subject, or system, which ia calcu-
lated to proinnlo tho objects that wo have in view.
All legislative ensctmenta, with revercst penalti

abound. Tho intellectual soil of our pco-
pio requires draining, that it may ha freed from
tho stagnant waters in which it is submerged,
and the genial myaof thosun of Intelligence shall

The numerous benevolent and moral-reform
associations which ovist amongonr people, though
■iitriljuiid in a measure towards the
of the condition of society, havo
Riled to awaken in the minds of our people gon-
rally, the Importance of cultivating n laslo for
intellect,,,] amusements. The object of many of
these associations is merely negali.o, devoted to
the prohibition of somo local oril, through tbo
restraints nf self-denial i further than this thoy
have nut advanced ; thoy have forniibcd
which has torsi itself from Iho excitements n
thoso evils to which it was so long attached ; am
consequently do wo so frequently sk them re
lapse into their former indulgences, with ombil
tered minds, at tho tamo and uninviting reward
rhlcb thoy have found in exchange for then
former attachments. Other associations havi
furnished a speciDc in tho observance of somi
peculiar object or pursuit, resulting in the classi
Gcation of Ihe individual members of tho com
innnily, and ceasing to contribute to its welfare
beyond the limits of their sects. Therefore, ir.
order to a successful prosecution of the wot
against thu greater evils by which wo are sur-
rounded, it will bo necessary loopen the campaign
,y a descent upon tho lessor vices so pregnant
imong us. But, before going into action it nil]
ikewiso be necessary to introduce a system, am-
liiry to tho oipcdltion, which shall havo for its
object, tho safe keeping nnd tho naturalization of
such parties of tho enemy as shall become prison-
n>»- hands. Thus will wo not only bo
i dispense with tho necessity of placing
r the prisoners which we shall havo
when the war is ended, and victory
perched upon our banners, those who
had fallen into our bands as enemies, will go
lorth as proselytes to our cause, proclaiming to
their kindred and nalion, tho revelations of wis-
and of truth.
will now proceed lo tho proposition or tho
organization of a society which shall ho denomi-
nated tho Association uf Universal Knowledge
and which shall havo for its object the acquisition
and tho dissemination of tbcoreUeal and practical
philosophy, combining in its pracllconnd research
the fields of science and art, and directing tho
"•-ids nf its members into thnso channels which
most congenial lo iho tastes of each, Id th(
pursuit of somo intellectual and practical amuse-
ment, which shall nnt only tend to wean thorn
from tholr attachment io those idle games or pas-
time, but shall likewise develop tho rich re-
sources of those minds which otherwise would
continue dormant. There is a largo class of our
people, and, moro particularly, those of very lim-
iled education, who regard wientlflo pursuits as
belonging solely to tho professional fraternity,
— 1 to be attained only through tho medium of
college,, and seminaries of learning; hence,
iliey. loo frequently, through want of confidence
Ihelr abilities to acquire a knowledge of tho
. ilosophical truths, smother tho yearn-
ings of tholr own minds, after a knowledge of
' things, in the Injunction forbiddlug approach
to those subjects which they regard a, l,,l„„j;,r„-
unto themselves. This is a very great error,
n which may be apprehended the greatest
obstacle to bo encountered in (ho successful or-
ganization of Ihe project. The minds of tho
mosses should bo disabused of these impressions,
and taught i look upon tbo fields of science as
plantaiiens of intellectual wealth, which have
been bestowed upon thorn by tho beneficent hand
of Deity, with iho same rights and pririlegesi as
Jponthe princes and kings of Iho carlb. And
vhethor it ho upon the mountain tups, or in tho
"lleys ; in the aparscly populated districts of the
country, or in tbo densely crowded cities upon
Ibo seaboard, the great book of philosophy and
art 18 open alike lo all, imparling in a unlvoi
-language, to the unlettered
rithout money and without price. Periodical
dobwoa. lectures, osperimonUI illustrations, oihl-
hitiona. wherein Astronomy, Geology, Chemistry,
and Natural Philosophy, afford abundance of all
that which will amuse and delight all classosand
people. Establish ono of these as-
each of our mining towns through-
out tho Slalo, and in each or our cities, free from
itrainta of religious creeds of sectorianlem,
itainlcd by political strife, where men of
every creed, and ofovery political bias may meat
in tho bonds of brotherhood, lo seek amusement
and pastime in tho pursuits of universal knowl-
adge, whose members shall abstain from all in-
toxicating drinks, and from all those idle games,
ind a brief period will elapse until tho quicken-
ng influences of thoso associotiona shall bo seen
md rolt throughout tho extent of our Oommon-
vcalth,
Tho oxerciaea of these associations should bo
nado as public and free as circumstances will
lermit, thereby Ingrafting upon tho mindu of tho
ommunity aroond them tho example of their
vorka.
They woold become depositories of natural
:urtositiea, thereby inducing thousands of our
people to make a more thorough and extended
obligation into tho geological organization of
mining districts, The miner, tho agricultur-
.. , and tho artisan would become contributors to
its archives, from tho prolific resources of their
various pursuits, and tho knowledge which now
lies hidden from the musses, would gradually be-
come diffused among the people. The associt-
tiona should hold tboir annual fair or gathering
in some central and convenient locality, to which
delegates should bo sent, lo taku charge of all
contributions belonging to their rcspeclitodoposi-
torjoa i and likewise for tho purpose of a free in-
terchange of general informalion. Thn institn-
tion should be known nnd designated as the
People's Fair, for tho Advancement of Universal
Knowledge. Our sister States upon tho Atlantic
border, would follow our example. Thus will
dawn a now era upon tho condition of our people ;
men of intelligence and of moral woiih will then
adorn our legislative hills; the judicial and ei-
ccutlta departments ofour goiornment will thon
bo consecrated to tho sacred mandates of eternal

The cost of ibis fluid is estimated at ten cents

A trial with steam, under an equal application
of beat, is said to hove clearly demonstrated a
great superiority of this now motor, in its appli-
cation, over steam. With a degree of heat which
produced eighty revolutions per minute with the
new motor, the steam-engine moved but slightly
and stopped. Besides, it is claimed that explosion
is impossible, and thus a great point it gained in
obviating danger. A number of scientific gentle-

the operations of this engine, esprcss themselves

Bota in Horses.
Tut following simple and safe remedy for the
Bots in Dor;c3, i3 given by a correspondent in the
Homestead -. Bots ere the larva or maggots of a
species of gad fly, that during the months of Au-
gust and September d. posiiii its eggs on the mnne,
shoulders, legs, and other parts which the animal
is apt to lick. These eggs are, according to tome
writers, immediately batched by the beat and mois-
ture or the mouth, and aro conveyed with tbo food
into tho stomach, where they fasten themselves to
the mow, or insensible coaling of tho stomach, by
means of a couple or small hooks or claws with
which they are furnished. As long as tbey remain
here they are nol an injury to the horse. On the
contrary, some writers contend that tbey nro a
benefit to him, but in what way I nm unable to
say. When the msgguls become fullygrown they
somelimts attack the sensible coating or the
stomach, and often cat through it ant) destroy the
life of lie animal. This is owing to tho disordered
■tale ol the digestive organs, for when these worms
have attained a certain size, they loosen their bold
upon the maw, and If the stomach is in Its proper,
healthy tone, they win be passed out of It, and the
animal remain uninjured. It is only when they
remain too long iu the stomach, that they do any
injury. Charcoal or wood ashes should he gii
to burses, in moderate quantities at (his season
give a healthy tone to the stomach), especially if
they are rough add shaggy in the hair, poor eat-
ers, or any unusual stiffness observable in them,
for that is a sign of the presence or bote. When
these worms once attack the stomach, it is almost
impossible te make tbem let go their hold, and in
Tact many persons are of opinion that it is useless
to attempt to save tho life of the beast when that
is the ease ; but I am confident it can bo done. 1
feel certain that I have saved tbo lives of my own
horses when attacked by them, in tbo following
manner : Tnlte one tcaspoonlul of pulverized iodi-
go. pour on it a pint of water, until the indigo is
pretty well dissolved, and then drench tho horse
with it If the bota have already eaten through
the slemach of ibe horse, and In that case
not possible recover, it will be almust instanta-
neous death, but if nol, they will loosen their
hold, and bo pressed out.
'This enre is simple and perfectly safe- for
should it prove to bo something else that ailed the
horse, the indigo will nut injure him. Why i- j
that iodigo causes them to quit the stomach,
esonot tell, but hope lhat others will help Ui ii
veatigatu the matter.
Bow to get rid Of Ants?
We extract tbo following amusing, and to
those troubled with Ants, interesting sketch,
from (i commnnioBtion in tha Burn! American :
When I have soon certain la:y pooplo trying
to exterminate- ants from their promises, I have
verily thought it was because- they wished to
get rid of tho Wiso Man's reminder. "Go to
too ant, thou sluggard ; consider her way* und
bn wiso." Bat not so with everybody. Not so
with indnstrious editors, surely. I find them in
tbo sugar bowl and tea cup ; thoy infest my
wife's choice sweetmeats nnd Coke. I havo a
favorite seat in my gardro, whore I rest from
summer Inbnrs, nnd for my children fr in tli. n
sports ; bat no sooner aro we fairly seated, than
thu ants nppenr, run up our ankles, our coal
shoves and toko great liberties with our whole
person. Alas! forourrest; forour enjoyment
of the fine scenery snroad out beforo us. Wo
aro besieged, infested, captured and our only
safely is in flight.
I planted, a few years ngo. somo choice pear
trees, and had taken special pnin- to give them
n fine foil, and to keep It in good cultivation ;
but no sooner had they bi'gon to grow apace,
than tho roots of several were infested with ant
hills. "Give 'em plenty o' salt," said n milli-
bar, looking over the gardcu fence and seeing
my despair ; "Salt 'cm down, und they'll scamp-
er. I 'sure you." So, I "salted 'em down;"
when I salted rather thick, tho tree died, and
when less was applied, the littlo pests did not
mind it at all; or at most, only moved their
household furniture a few inches, and began
operations afresh. I conoludod thoy wore not
■green" as tho fanner had supposed, hut
■> regular "old salts." nnd were not sorry to
got a littlo salt to keep their summer stores from
ipoiling. _
Having related my experience to nn old fruit-
grower in this vicinity , be lifted his bat. nnd told
in that two methods of extermination were yot
ft, vii., pounding nnd boiling them! After ho
had fully explained both processes, I commenced
"*' i. I approached on nut hill, softly as
ut to spring upun a helpless lamb, and
soraped off tbo dirt from tho surface,
beetle, and began to pound Ao littlo
Cents as thoy camo running out to see what
Iho matter. Undoubtedly, n largo numb<
i killed, and it was a long time before Iht
bill recovered itself. But, in my furious
a limb of the tree was broken, and tho
» worn injured, somewhat. A few da'
after, I tried the other remedy, boiling. Too
"rt was scraped off, as before, n few holes made
tli" bill, ami lulling v,-,,!,-r j-mr.-'j in. Hun-
dreds of tho littlo fellows camo running out in
tho midst of tbo pouring, as if to say, "ho I ho !
we don't mind this much; wn'vt) been in hot
water before, down there in tho kitchen cabinet ;
so, pour away, keup up tho steam I" Yet, not-
withstanding this show of pluck. I think some-
thing effectual was dona. I weakened the
enemy's forces, if. I did not wholly di-slny
"' em. It was n lone: time bi-fi.ro ili.-ir defences
r ■ vpuircd and their numbers mudo good.
Wishing to benefit my pear trees ns much us
possible, I gave them, last summer, frequent
rutoringa from tho tub at our sink spout, whero
ro poured all tho house slops from day to duy.
Judgi- or my surprise, when, after a few weeks,
I found tho nnt hills deserted entirely, nnd tho
CMOS growing unmolested ! Halting Vm down,
id pounding and boiling, could nut drive them
vay; hut wheo tbo sink-slops came running
dowu into their pulors and bed-rooms, they
Id not stand it, hut fled in dingus! ! I beg
ant-nfiliclcd readers of tho Iiuml American
to try this remedy, and I know they will thank
me for the nbuve information.
My joy on first making this discovery, was a
littlo dampened, when 1 reflected that, while
ink-elop were a very euitablo npplkntisio |,. r
Im roots of pear trots,, tbey would hurdly an-
wor for our summer-seal in the garden, nor for

easy to prepare, and ire very agreeable to 11
palate, also economical, as Ihey supercede tho u
ardent spirits and wine. On the Continent it
a common practice to drink siinplo sirup (which
is called ea«(n.CTs,bulwhich wo term capillaiie),
diluted with water to tho taslo of Lho drinker.
CapiUain is madolhus: Dissolve about
poundsof the best refined white sugar in one 1
of water; boil tho mixture for Gvcorton minutes,
then strain it through lawn, or a hair sieva ; whe
cold it is fit for use.
Sirup of Chwes.— Proceed In the tamo way 1
for making capillaire, but with tho sugar add
thirty or forty cloves lhat havo been brokr- "'
ground.
All tho sirups of spices as cinnamon, nutmeg,
ginger, &c., can bo mode in the same way.
Simjii uj Fruit.— These aro prepared in
similar manner to capillaire, substituting tho
juicesof tho Iruit in place of thn water; in this
way it is very oasy to make sirup of oranges.
Beforo the oranges are squeexed, to express their
juice, each omngo should be well rubbed or grnted
with ihe lump sugar— by so doing the fine flavor
of tho rind is preserved. All these simps nr-
drunk by diluting them wilh water. About
wine-glassful of sirup to a lumber of wsior wi
be found to make a pleasant draught.
Sirup of Coffee.— Take about ao ounce or the
finest calico, ground, and a pint of cold W
allow Ihctn to stand together for twclvo hours or
more, then strain, and add one pound and a half
of sugar; boil foronoor two minutes — not longer,
and again slrnin.
Sirup of Tea.— One pint of water, two pounds
of sugar, an ounce of black tea; boil together for
fire minutes, or rather less, and then strain. A
wine glassful to half a pint of cold water makes
very good cold tea.

guage of tho author. Ho delivers the remarks

It is this accomplishment which many desire
to see taught in schools. Almost all children
ro.ii he taught lo read well. What child to there
who cannot tell a story well. The bo; has met
with some tragic or amusing adventure, and he
runs in and gives his mother a most glowing de-
scription of It; be imitates, unconsciously and
naturally, the voices of bis playmates who were

may be able to read tho same, or a similar adven-
ture, with the samo tones and umphasis of voice
with which he told il7 But for so long a time
children have bora taught lo read at school from
books which (hey do not understood, or in which
they take no interest, that thoy have acquired a
drawling way, a lifekij, mechanical stylo, in
which lo "speak up loudly mi. I distinctly" is ei-
ccllenco enough. I am glad to admit that a refor-
mation has begun in this department of instruc-
tion, but (hero will need a generation or an of
School children, and tho constant and varied
efforts of teachers and parents, La recover from
Iho effects or the old-fashioned way.
A plan to accomplish something in the way of
improvement in sc boot -reading, which bag the
recommendation of success, and is, at tho same
time, an illicit:; tin,; . iereii.e inr (Li: schools is as
follows:
Let the teaeher select a story from somo book
or magazine, which he will be sure shall interest
bin boys. Let him give tho book containing it
to some boy, asking bim to read tho story over
to himself a few times, to become familiar wilh
it ; and at or near tho closo of school, let the boy
read it aloud to his schoolmates. Before com-
mencing, however, let tho tcacbci recall some
amusing oven I which has recently taken place, or
select some anecdote from (bo scrap-book, and
lot him repeat (bis to (ho school in a slow.dri
log way, in a forced, unnatural voice. They
slflaugb at such a rendering, and will appiei
(ho meaning of the teacher when ho changes
tone and style, and gives (hem the event or
eedolo in a natural, unaffected way. Turning
now, to the reader, let him remark to bim, "You
can take yoar choice or these two ways of read-
ing. 1 As bo read>,do nol discourage him by too
fnqiicm iiilerrupti.,,,,, I,,n. oK^ionally, whenbe
relapses into tho drawl, repeat the passage, kind-
ly, in the better way, and auk him to noltco and

OosnjMttlaaa,
Olio method of making that bugbear of

above-mentioned reading curci'c* Let the Story

(hen they should look over tho work,
mistakes, and then copy It into their Want-books.
In (his way thoughts arc furnished them, and
thoy practice themselves in giving Ufitniwi lo
these thoughts. This, os I think, is at tho foun-
dation of success in composing, namely : expell-
ing thoughts, no matter whence they are derived.
After the student has learned to write out bit
Ideas, and to write them grammatical! v, on 1 .Mil
correctness in punctuation and tho other details,
be may enter on a course of inventing ideas for
himself. If (his courso is adopted, the writer,
when ho has learned to express himself freely
and correctly, will bo nolongcr impeded, clogged,
confused ivith Aos to write, and the ichal «
rito will arrange itself clearly and easily in hi:
Another advantage of this method to, (hat chil-
eo tro fond of writing slorius while they dread
"compositions," and (hoy can thus bo induced lo
get Into a habit of writing, so tbat they litem-
solve?, unconsciously, slrip tho object of their
fears or its disagreeable disguise.
Tho plan of the writer in teaching this subject
has long been founded on these principles, and
Iho successes of (bo plan have determined its ci-
celtenco.
In detail, it is as follows:
On Wednesday afternoon a slory ia read ; one-
half of (ho school (say Iho younger), write (his
off upon their slates, as roughly as thoy pleiso,
taking care only to get In tho wholo slory, with-
" * omissions or nllcrallons; (hey (hen write it
fully, and as correctly as (hay can, on half
foolscap sheets ol paper, and hand (hem in
tho close of school. I take thesi
nd a
7C1SOJ,
with red ink. A mistake wbicb I think
an correct themselves, I merely underline:
-Or which is corrective in tho narrow space
ea tho lines, I correct in writing;, but moro
._.,. tan t errors I leave for verbal explanation;
I mark the place wilh a largo interrogation point,
and require thorn to come to mo at my desk to
(alkaboul it. On (he following Wednesday, (bete
itcd exercises are distributed to (hem, and
, iro required to copy (hem, noting carefully
ihe corrections, into (heir blank- books. At tbe
amo time, I read another story for tho other, or
ilder, half of the school. I givo them a longer
ind moro intricate story than I gave lo ihe first
livision. but the profits] of writing, correcting
and copying is (he same.
In "marking" these wrilings I givo a high
grade Tor comprehensiveness, clearness and accu-
racy, in tho exercise ; for absolute correctness and
good penmanship iu the copy.
Occasionally, instead of reading a story, I givo
my older division the skeleton of a story, or
erely tho theme Torn narration Or dt-cnjitimi
ran their number i select tho best to form an
need class, which I instruct par
tho
First Book in Compc-
book upon this subject;
also, "Parker's Exercises in English Composition."
and ''Qunckenhosa' Second Book," on iho same
Subject. Additions are made to this class, fre-
quently, by promotion.
In concluding tbe subject, I am pleased to bo
able lo say (hat 1 rarely fail to make "composi-
tions" a pleasant and a-isy study, and that my
succeed In becoming good composers.

Wo believe (be poet Pope bad been reclining
beneath the- noble trees in Windsor Forest,
and had wandered in a dream
Golden Stale, when he wrote of the fair land
he has to beautifully pictured. Over and over
again have wo read Iho above lines ill past yoars,
as wo roamed beneath those trees made famous In
poesy, and Ihey have dwelt upon our mind here,
as we in faith looked forward to what wo believed
would yet bo writlen of California; and when, in
J 53 wo had painted upon the walla- of tho Exhibi-
tion rtooms.tMusicalHall-CauFoema I THE
GARDEN OF TOE WORLD I our faith was
renewed, and now when wo look around us, as
wo view our market*, in each and every city, as
we pass through the streets, aa wo stroll through
tho towns, even in tha interior, on the right hand
and on Iho left, our eyes arc gladdened by tho
sight of orchards and gardens, loaded with lus-
cious fruits, and fragrant with gorgeous flowers,
aDd in almost every store, and on the comers of
the streets, fruits the most rare are olfered.aod at
prices, too, that they who desire con haie an
abundance, at a moderate coEt j and we feel on
unspeakable pleasure in seeing tho fulfillment of
our hopes and predictions, and hearing a thousand
voiccssay California will bo "Toe Gauoem oi
tuk WoBLot" If we had over doubted our owi
failh In these predictions, what wo have seen ir
the past week would have removed all doubt.
Tho last Sabbath morn found us at tho Porno-
lugica] Gardens of A. P. Smith, Esq., or Sacra-
mento, wbaro wo had arrived on the evening pre
vices, after a ride among the grain fields of that
county. In the early morning we were sealed oi
tho lookout, which is erected upon tho cottage
and there, as tho birds were singing their morn
iug song, amid tho fragtanco wafted to u
from the dewy petals of thousands of flowers, ii
the spacious gardens below us, aa our eye
gazed in admiration upon that extensive orchard
of mora than fifty acres, and could clearly see the
trees bending Kith the weight of their now ripen-
ing fruit; as wo looked fir and wide over Holds of
grain, and fields of now mown hay ; as we looked
to tho fair city of Sacramento, with her granite
stores, ber splendid residences, her churches and
public buildings; as we turned and saw the
towering Sierras, with their snowy caps piled up
against the very Heavens, seeming to laugh
tho dark form of "Diablo," far away on the Coast
Range ; as with ono glance wc looked upon the
steamers at Iho city, with another upon thi
plains, and tho winding of "Los Americanos" wltl
her now muddy waters, and then down upon (hi
beaoliful spot that wo so well remembered as i
waste In '49 ; wo could but ciclalin, truly oui
hopes are now realized, our predictions verified
and hero wo have found a Moorim Eden— nni
the words of the poet that we have quoted arc in-
deed most applicable lo this spot.
Smith's Garden, now so well-known and cele-
brated for its luscious fruits and flowers, is be-
yond doubt, the largest and most extensive gar-
den Inall California, and contains more f rait- hear-
ing trees, and of greater variety, a larger orchard
and nursery than Can bo found elsewhere in our
State ; and In thus speaking we do no injustice
to any orchaidisl or nurseryman. Every candid
mind will admit this fact, and in justice lo Mr.
Emilh, in justice to all who desire to know these
fads, injustice to ono whohaseipoodedaprlucc-
ly fortune to make this garden what It Is, wc
promulgate theso Irulhs. Wo havo traveled
over the Stale, and have had opportunity lo know,
and wc assert that all who will visit theso exten-
sive and elegant grounds will sustain as In these
remarks, and if they have Dover aeen the garden
before will thank us tor this information.
The time we spent at tho gardens wo devoted
to close observation of the fruit-bearing trees, and
the prospect of orchard and nursery, so that we
could direct with facility, tboso who desire lo
plant orchards tho coming autumn, whore lo ob-
tain tho most desirable trees, vines, etc- Never
havo we seen an orchard presenting a nobler as-
pect or prospect. A strong and healthy growth
and appearance was universal over every variety
of tree, vine, shrab and plant, all indicating ihat
supervisory caro that alone <
Oallforeis,sndthatfi6eraiejpen(ii(ureo/r(u!ani,
without which no great results can bo obtained.
Tho fruil-bosring trees are :i sight to behold.
tore to say Ibora Is no spot of earth that
could excel Smith's garden nt this season of tho
*r, in tho variety and quality of froit, and the
rantity npon each tree. Somcof tho palscogar-
dcos of Europe may show samplo specimens ; but
of fruit grown by LhD means used, horn
they sro without sn equal. Wo shall soon givo
full statistics of crops of these grounds, and there-
fore defer them now.
Wo examined and lasted somo twenty varieties
of Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, Apples, Ac., and
boldly sssert thoy cannot bo beaten. Tbo Draw-
ford Early bad just passed, but were magnificent;
Old Mixim, free and cling, splendid; tbo Ucalb,
Kcwlngton, Oooligo Favorite, and Honest John,
unsurpassed ; ond when wo camo to tho Georgo
IV., our mouth watered. Wo are now satisfied
that this is lo be one of tho Peaches that should
bo extensively cultivated. It is a white mealed,
luscious and very juicy Peach, deep red at tho
stone, foil sixo. and a great bearer. Mr. Smith
has a crop of this Peach Iho present year that
will count by Iho hundreds of bushels, and, as a
wise fruit grower, has grown largely of lhat va-
riety. Wo saw trees lhat will yield ten and fif-
teen, if not twenty bushels lo the tree. The Late
Admirable and Crawford's Late, will yield him
an enormous crop, and. in sixo, equal if not sur-
pass any Peaches yet shown in this Siato. So
great is tho crop, lhat heavy supporters of joico
are placed in tho centre of tho trees, and tho
branches tied up strongly. Many other
are in best condition.
The Pear trees hang loaded with c
crops. Tho Bartlett is of wonderful i
beauty; Ducbe^se d'Angoulemo enormous — will
A 24 or 30 ounces each. Flem-
ish Beauty, Louis Bonne do Jersey, Winter Nel-
Virgalcau, Glout Morceau, Seckol, Bcurre

it Fair nt San Francisco, as ibey will bo past
season for the Fair at Stockion. Tho Nec-
nes almost surpass belief. It does require
lhat a person should see these eropsof Nectarines

•- Wo wish the members of tho
United Stales Pomologies! Society coold stop Into
garden of our Mend, for then they would be-
o what thoy hear. Wo would rejoice to see
t great friend of Horticulture, .Marshall P.
Wilder, look opon this California garden. Proud,
ho may well be of Hawthorn Grovo,our friend
Smilh can even beat this king of fruit growers,
both in sixo and quantity, the present year.
The Apples, Grapes, Figs and other fruits at
these gardens arc doing well. The foreign Grapes
arc now ripeoiog handsomely in Iho open air —
(what will oureastern friends say lo this?) Tho
Hamburg, Golden Chassclas, Chasselas of Fon-
Uinbleau, Cannon Hall Muscat, Muscat of Alex-
andria, Malaga aod others, lung in (ioc, large and
full clusters.
Tho Strawberry ground has now its period of
rest. Shortly it comes to its foil crop again.
The nursery conlains trees of every kind, and
of tho best varlclles, and of strong, healthy
growth, i Wo noticed Peach, Nectarine, Apricot
and Plum trees, from Ova to seven foot high,
handsomely formed, of the growth of iho present
year, from the hud. Cherry and Pear of six,
seven and even ten feet, and most vigorous ; and
other froit trees in all their variety, and orna-
mental trees aod tines in excellent condition. It
is this characier of health and fiullfuluess that
causes us lo speak Ibus at leoglh of this ooblo
garden, for from this source many others can
draw, as from a living fountain, thai which will

Tnn splendid animal that flgui
front page this week, may truly bo ■
tho finest oreature of this tribo ii
States, If not in tho world. Troly hi
tho TJnitod
ho been
named, for he is amung sheep what the building
ho was named for Is among tho varied forms of
architectural beauty lhat grace Europo or Amer-
ica— tha finest known.
Tho importation and brooding or Sheep, and
the raising nf tbo very best of Sheep, both
for wool and mutton, sro matters of great mo-
ment to tbo Slate. It is already conceded that
wo havo tbo finest climate and tho best graxing-
grouDd in tbo world for this purpose, and no ono
can for a moment doubl that wool-growing will
always pay. No ono article of our products will
pay so well, and it Is a business that cannot be
overdone. Wo are largely indebted to foreign
countries every year for tho wool 10 supply C ""
manufacturers, and our Gold is sent abroad
pay for wool and other arliolea lhat wo should
and could produce upon our own shores.
It is now our purpose to call tbo attention of
our stock-growers and out readers generally
tho imporUoco of Wool-growing in California,
and wo shall present briefly somo facta to show
that we are destined to be a great Wool-growing
country, and that thus far it has been successful.
Messrs. Whitney wore tho pioneer sheep im-
porters to any extent, and tboy havo been emi-
nently successful, of which wo havo written in
previous numbers. Their sheep bavu greatly in-
creased in sixo, quality and fineness of wool, a!
the new progeny born and acclimated, and
their largely increased flocks prove. A large
flccco was taken tbo first year, and tha wool sold
promptly at forly-flvo cents a pound.
Messrs. Daniel Gibb 4 Co. imported a largo
flock, nod although Iho long voyage and sickness
injured tho sheep, yet our climslc has restored
them. They brought handsome prices and have
done extremely well.
Tory recently Messrs. Mocondray & Co. im-
ported a largo flock of very fine Merinos, tho
linost-woolcd sheep yot Imporled, of any number.
They have been sent over our Slatu and they will
add toils wealth.
Some few very splendid full bloods were Im-
ported by Messrs. Sc-itIb it vVynn, last season.
Also, Samuel Brannan, Esq., imported somo ol
tho best lately brought hither. A lot was re-
ceived for San Jose, and for some other places,
and thus we have tho evidence of tho fitness ol
our climate and pasturage for Ihc raising of Sheep
and the growing of Wool, as a permanent and
profitable business, ono that shall be a lasting
benefit to our Slate.
Wo now ask particular attention
which we shall oiler opon Ihe impai
ing the very bat tarietiet of U'ool-yr.idisciiie
Sheep in California. 'lis said, 'Expericnco is
the best school mas ler," aod wo have tho very-
proof from tho best Wool-growers in the world,
that "it Is easier to raise and take cam of tho
batbretdi of Sheep, than of common sorts;" the
former are more easily herded, more quiet, easier
controlled ; their quiet nature greally tending to
Ihe growth of wool and flesh (upon tbo same
principle wc suppose that a good-natured man or
woman is generally plump and fat), an J although
it will bo necessary in California to raise the
Southdowns, Loiceslcrs, Asiatic, and tho Ameri-
can and Mexican for Motion, those who grow for
tho fleece should aim at tho highest gr
woo], and to the Full-blooded Merino tbi
lion of growers should be directed, that they may
know from whence the
prosper.
Mr. Smith's grounds ore now a famed resort
A pleasant riilc from Sacramento city, either by
private carriage (and excellent carriages and
horses can b. foood St Covey's stable uo Second
street, and at Frost's), or you can Inks the "bi
direct to tho gardens twice a day. At great
penso Mr. Smith has covered tho rood with str
and waters it for miles to lay the dust, so t!
pleasant rides may be had, and when there, iho beat

Tbo "Cbvbtai, Palace" will bo tho siro o
many a fine flock of Sheep that shall grace lb
bills of California, and wo are glad lo know tha
somo of bis stock is already in our State ; those
to which wc havo referred, of Messrs. Searlo &
Wynn, those of Mr. Eranuan, and others.
J. D. Patterson, Esq., of Wcstllcld, Chautauqua
county, has been ono of tho most suco
Sheep-growers in tho Oniled Slates, ond hat
probably one of tho finest herds of Sheep I
world, at least tho noble Buck which we show
thtE week speaks iu bold character for this fact;
to ulludt to bis value, wo know that SI
would not purchase him.
Mr. Patterson commenced Sheep-raising many
years since, upon tho Iruo principle; his arm was
to grow only the bat, and from the flocks of Eu-
rope, or from ony other importer, ho aimed to
procore only tho very best, wilhoot regard to
cost, and Ihua he now possesses tho llnest animals
of Ihe country, Tbo Shoepof Mr. Patterson have
taken probably more prizes at tho different exhi-
bitions than any flock known. Tho "Crystal
Palace," as will bo seen, look the prllo at the
World's Fair In Paris, in 1855, Thus in Iho
very midst of iho celebrated flocks of France, on
American stock-raiser bears off tho prize ; and if
wo were to record Iho Diplomas, Goblets and
other prizes awarded by different State and Cuun-
ly Societies lo Mr. Patterson, wo should 011 oui
columns. Wo havo also, records from vorious
parts of tho Union where Bucks of this breed
have been sold for S1000 etch, thus showing their
Intrinsic value.
Wo now, for our present purpoao of calling
otlontion to this valuable flock of Shoop that
should bo Introduced into California, havo proof
nearer homo.
Tho Hon. It. P. Johnson, former Mayor ol
Sacramento, has just returned from tho East,
and has kindly furnished us with tha ont of
tho "Crystal Palocc," and also with aampli
tbo wool of this celebrated fluck. and with many
important and reliohlo loots, whloh wo shall uso
for tho benefit oP wool- growers, Mr. Johnson
provious to coming to California bad r
near Mr. Patterson for over fifteen years, and
r^d progress of this grtnt
nterost, ana now returning to California,
itnnds road? to testify to tho foU worth
of these Ado Sheep. Ho will ohocrfully and
promptly verify that whatever Mr. Patterson
shall repwsnnt in Tege.r3 to his Sheep can bo
relied apnn, lo tho letter ond spirit of tho agree-
mt; and as bis neighbor and friend, Mr. J.
a oonsunted to bo tho agent and roforoo to nil
io desire to import Sheep from this celebrated
stock, and is fully authorixed to not in this
This will prove very beneficial to our
State, as Mr. Johnson is so universally known
and esteemed, and ho will greatly facilitate tbo
importations when desired.
Tbo weight of Crystal Palace is about 300
pounds, and his fleeco, lost sheared, won 23

Bams Foots Among Grata Growers.
Acoaploofdays spent among Ibe grain growers
within twenty miles around Sacramento, will show
the cause or the short crop* in that vicinity.
The gTont grain ranches of Hutchinson, Green
k Co., of Brown, of Connor, and many growers
tho Futo, show a great fulling off from former
years. Much of tbo land will only avcrogo about
sis or eight bushels per acre ; some will pro-
twelve bushels. Wo Irani, among these no
lubsoiled or follow land was used for grain.
the Stockton road, for many miles, short
crops— somo fields not worth harvesting. Yet
mong some dozen ranches, wc could not learn of
single instance otfallamd land that had bees
used, or a farm where the subsoil plow hod been
nxed ; bat many that hod relied on volunteer crops
in wholo or in part. On the Brighton road wo
found the same system to prevail. At Patter-
son's, the Ten Mile House, from ninety acres of
barley, a crop of 2180 bushels; a small piece
wheat, some ninety bushels. There was no subsoil
plow used or fallow hind. Mr. Thomas, sixty
acres barley, crop &30 bushels. Mr. Manlore, 200
acres wheat, 100 acres barley, average twelve
bushels. CspL J. Beome, sixty acres wheat,
usual plowing, twelve bushels per acre, and twelve
acres on fatlmced land, thirty boaliclB per acre ;
volunteer crop nothing. Hero wc note thaltreefce
acrei fallowed produced bob" as much as lixty
acres old style. Col. Wbiteaides, 270 acres wheat,
eighty barley, average twelve bushels. Same loud
last year produced forty bushels per acre. No
sobsolled or fallowed laud used, but Col. W. be-
would have greatly benefited the crop.
F. B. Fitch, 125 acres wheat and bnrley, equal
each, crop 1000 bushels, average eight bushels, a
volunteer crop, no plowing at all. Jnmts Buwles,
crop GOO bushels wheat, SOO barley ; no
fallow or subsoil. At Joseph Hull's wc saw large
fields now lying fallow for next year's crop ; and
tho crop of this year, planted upon fallowed land,
yielded forty bushels per acre. Mr. H. believes
the crop would double upon fallowed land.
twenty to thirty
farms (we have not oam'd all), we nolo but (iro
instances of what wc think the best mode of pre-
paring land for grain in a country dry ns ours; tho
land of Mr. Beameondof Mr. Hull produced double
and treble of that plowi-d in the usual way ; aod
c have facts to show that subsoiling will do the
uno thing; yet graiu growers will not come into
plan they know will bo productive of gain, bo-
tuso they say they cannot spare tho land to lay
fallow. Would it not be better to subsoil half
tho number of acres each year, and havo the
balance in fallow for iho next year. The crop
would dnuble; and the cost of subsoiling fifty
ncrea is nut more than lhat of slightly plowing
100, and the cost of tirtl, f.-nrjii;; nn'J rvajnng fifij-
is certainly less than 100. And if ihc crop is
doubled, will it not bo wiser? "A word lo the
wise." Wc would ihaul; all grain growers to
give us facts and scud ui samples of their grain in
i in: :i1hm( mid bead.

Orchards on the San LoreniA
We spent a portion of our leisure, or rather
our time, in calling upon our friends who havo
been planting lino Orchards on the San Lorenzo
creek — a strip of land as rich, fine aud appro-
priate as any in our Slate.
Our first call was Ibe residence of E. T. Crane,
Esq., a very pleasant collage residence, a good
farm, orchard and garden. His Peach trees have
made a remarkable growth too much wood, con-
sequently hit fruit. The soil is loo rich for lb*
Peach ; belter for tho Pear. We had a fine treat
of luscious peaches however, and an excellent
dinner, boib of which were tery palatable after
hard Ikbor.
Tho fine Orchard of Robert Family, Esq., nrar
the San Lcandro road, wo found in splendid
order, and must say wo havo not seen trees lhat
surpass them anywhere. This Orchard consists
of 1304 Apple trees, 208 Peach, 30 Pear, 28 Plum,
2-1 Cherry, 15 Fig. Nearly all tbo trees were in
bearing, and not only were wo fosBtcd, but a very
gcnerooB supply of tho best was furnished us on
leaving. Wo must notice tbo luscious Jefferson
Plum, two trees being heavily loaded, aod we
frnouj thoy were luscious. The Peaches, Craw-
ford's Early, Early York, Strawberry, and olher
varieties, were positively delicious, we are sure.
Wo noticed mngni Dcent jpccimeDs of Ibe Seckel
and Qansels Bergamort Pear, on the tree; Flem-
ish Beauty nnd Bartlelt woro also very superb
samples. Wc hopo to see this fine fruit at In"
Exhibition. Wo return thanks to our friend for
his kind attention and liberality.
Tho Garden and Orchard of O. Wlntern. Etq.,
gave proof of very excellent care and attention-
His Orchard presented a picture rarely to bo seen.
A flno Orchard of 400 Peach lrco6, 100 Applo,
20 Cherry, 20 Plum, 75 dwarf Pear, 20 Fig. m°
000 Grapevines, nil showed uncommon thriOinest
and most of ibom in buaring. Tho froit upon
tho Pear tret-i exc.'l-i anvthii^- «,■ liavo seeo In
this section ; the vunrtim » rre, Duchcsso a""**"
goulemc, Belle dc Flanders, Bartlelt. and Seckel,
all of extraordinary iizv ; wti really believe tboy
will ntloin the weight i.f t\rn luuimi:, each, if car*
is given them. All thu Irees were full loadfo.
Wu trust caro will bo bad to grow aud prescrro
them for tbo coming Fair.

the door, turned (ho koy upon nl! ourdomeatio
carea. for no atwoya arrange lo leoro our bur-
densome affairs behind, and lake with us nothing
bnt a happy heart and oyea that nernr tire
gniing upon the beauties of tbo earth and sty
that God has made. It seemed as if tha lumber-
ing slago-coaefc ooutd not move fast enough, fur
onr impatience, although it flitted along with
the speed of a bird, through fields and patchr-a
of forests, Our hilarious spirits rising with
every mile. Wo wiped tbo mist from onr eyes,
and there wore no brick and mortar obstructions
between ub and nature. All our outward cares,
and inward struggles, have faded away, us
dreams from the face of morning. It is all
morning with ua now, and vr« will onjoy it, ero
the scorching sun withers its hopes. Wo bare
looked out upon the unnumbered patches of
weeds (tbo flowers are nearly gono), and are
satisfied they are doing remarkably well ; we
inhnh- the perfumed air. fully realizing its many
and rare virtues! it acta upon our forehead with
an electrical thrill, like the kiss of an angel. As
wo proceed, the hills begin to emerge, and f.ir
to the south rises the dome of "Old Diablo," the
patriarch of a numerous family, happily settled
about him; end further still, westward ho! dim
and blue stretches tbo "Const Range," while
easlwnrdly rise in strange and magnificent
grandeur tha over varying forms of tbo "Noble
Sierras." as If in adoration of the Being who
brought them forth. Bet nee a those great
northern aud southern, eastern and western
landmarks, a distance of more than 250 miles
long by GO wide, lies the Valley of Sacramento.
And tbe skies of Scotia aro not brighter, or thu
Tales of Italia moro productive.
A rido of thirty-fivo miles brings as to tbe
beautiful residence of Mr, liencb, on the forks
of Feather river, in Yohn county, where wo find
Ourselves happily domiciled, with nn amiable
aud lody-liko hostess and two sweet children Tor
our companions. Here we shall make oursolvos
at home until Saturday, nnd if in the sphere;
whence tho days issue, iheru is such a thing a*
detention, may Saturday break duwn, or some-
thing hup pen it, thut it b" Li ipt back long after iti
time. Hero we saw what is seldom seen in any
Country, and what we cerluiuly never expected
to seo in California, an orchard or six thou
punch trees; betides plnms, figs, peers
apricots — two thousand five hundred, heavily
laden with luscious fruit. Wo had mnuy good
op|i,irtuiiiliea of testing their good qualities,
nnd the generosity of our kiud friends, win
teemed never so well pleased us when con
trujuting to our comfort. Wo shall not booi
forget those hnppv d-iyn, iilii.li glided so uncoti
aciously by ; we were so glad to esehsngn tbi

For breath, tbo beat wns so 'intolerable,, But
independent of heot aud dust, and a want of
shrubbery (for which our own loved Sacramento
Is famous), there aro many green spots in Marys-
villB, after all. Wo met „!J rriondi, and furmed
now acquaintonccB ; among tho letter were Mr.
and Mrs. Walton, at whose house wo were mado
to feel as much at borno as though "heir lo the
born."' Wo will not soon forgot that
nxhtr&t dinoor. and the many kindnoasi
shown us by that radiant embodiment of goi
humor and politeness, Mr. W. Ho ia one wl
con nsvor bo made a prosolyto to tbo philosophy
of Dr. Jedler, who thinks life and fow such -
very ridiculous business. I would like much l
have Ihoso poraous who think "thoro aro n
goodaohoola out of tho range of San Francisco,"
risjt Mrs. Walton's (lata Mra. Wildo'a) Semi-
nary for Young Ladies. I think thov might ho
induced to moko at least ono exception; for
ourselves, wo only regretted wu had not hulf i
dozen girls, that wo might place them nudor tbo
tuition of so estimable o lady.
Tho next place of interest wo visited
Hock Farm, tho residence of General Sutler,
known by every Col iforninn to bo a shrine lo
which alt hearts pay homage ; our pleasure nnd
aurprisn cannot bo spoken or written. In walk-
ing over tbo spacious domain, and seeing snob
perfect order and neatness, tho politeness and
cordiality with whioh wo wore received, were ill
keeping with the beauties that ovory whore aur-
)0t to thu bent as effectually.
This place is loo well known for ma to attempt
description; in fact it were almost an imp
ii-.iliiy to do so. The extensive vineyards ,
orchards, combined with tho vonorublo and
antic appearance of the buildings, and tbo
n'sito taste with which tho grounds wore laid
it, tho variety and abundance of flowers,
in upon our admiration wo could hut express
as wo felt it; while every nook and corner
is in the highest stylo of agriculture, tho
iu;e and gardens reminded us of tho vigni
some beautiful book. Wo wander along tho
nksnf the river, down to its very verge, whoro
■■ sounds of our voices were echoed back from
o opposite bank with such clear and distinct
pronunciation that we were hardly persuaded it
: some person oniu-iiij,- himself I iy repeat-
words; to us it wnsnn anomalous oraalo,
(turned word for word, as soon aa spokon.
Wo oould have spent nn hour there in eonvor.
ith Iho inviiible Genii, bnt thu deepen-
ing twilight ndmnniabed us that we must depart.
Wo lingered until tho atara bad thickened in tbo
rhanging blue, nnd their first fuint light had
blushed into lustrous gold, nnd Iho leaves upon
tho "brave old oak" wore whispering each to
the other a bland good night. It pained us to
think this beautiful homestead, which lias cost
tho old Pioneer en many days of toil, nnd on
hicb had been lavished such unbounded munifi-
ence, should pass into tha hands of strangers,
'an not something bo dono by his frieuds to
pay off that debt, and thus scouro it to tho
ightful owner? Poor as I am, I would put $50
[iposite my name, towards its redemption.
My ahoet is full for tbo present. Adiuu.

A Model ■Wife.
A pleasant little Florentine story reached ua
tho other day. Ono of our famous American
soulplors, residini; in thnt delightful city, whithor
all the genius of England and America seems to
tend, wn,i one day seated in his studio at work
on an Apollo — for whioh. by tho way, ho might
aland as a model himself — when bis attention
was attracted by a tremendous trampling of
horses in his court yard. He looked nut of tho
window, and li.-ln-M u inn^iiiii. • nt eurria^e, with
outriders, drawn up bcfure hii door. Preaently
a gt-ntl'-imm claimed admission to his studio, nnd
announced himself as tbo Princo of di R ,
Ho come to giro tho sculptor a largo commis-
sion. His daughter, who bud been struck by
some statues of tho American thnt sho bed seen,
wished to ait tii bim for her bust. Sbo wns then
bolow in the oorriogo. Was tbn sculptor at
leisure 1 Prico was no object ; all thai
necessary was to gratify his daughter, wh
an invalid,
Tho sculptor ciprci-cil hi» willingness I
gin tho work instantly ; and the Prince, muking
a sign to his lackeys from tho window, thoy —
cnedod to lift a lovoly girl, who seemed a!
eighteen, out of the carriago. and bore bi
their arms oarcfolly op tbo stairs to tbo art
studio. Tho sculptor could not repress a look
of ourpriso at this curious mode of locomotion,
particularly as tho lady did not bear Iho slight-
est traao of illness in her countenance. Tbo
Princo interpreted bi> ghiueo and replied to it.
"My daughter has been paralyzed in all her
limbs," he said, "for tho lost two months. It is
a sad thing. Sim has bad all the medical aid in
Florence, out without avail."
Tho soulplor looked again at tho invalid.
Nothing moro beautiful in fnoo or form coald
have been dreamed of by Pbidins, A face liko
Ccnci's, before it was clouded with tho memory
of crime; mosses of rioh, lustrous auburn hair,
framing a clear, palo faco. with deep bluo eyes
swimming b.incatu n fringe of Ihe silki.-t Idnek
lashes. Through her deiiaato muslin robe tho
contour of a divinely modeled form was indi-
cated, and when the ynung Signorila cast upon
tho aoulptor n rapid glance, i-ift aa slurhVlit,
piercing as electric tire, he felt bis heart leap
with u myslerious presage of some indefinable
catastrophe,
_ Sho buL Tho scnlptor worked at his model
like one ioi-pircd. nnil a puujj stroclt his heart as
Ihe boor for her retiring enmo. The Prince and
his lackeys bora her again down sttvirn in tin ir
nnns. Tbe carriuife dour closed on her, tho
horses swept through tho gato. Tbo soulplor
did no moro work that day.
To-morrow sho wns to come again. Ho lay
ownko all iiijrht, dr-nmins uf her. Then ho
would shudder, and my to himself, "It ia not
love, but pity thut I feel. She is n paralytic!"
The licit day tbo same scene wils repented,
with this difference, that tbo Prince, having seen
bis daughter poised hy th,. i,rti-t. cicu-.nF him-
self, on iho plea of a business eiigagument, sav-

EniTons Fafmeh: In my last Uiter on the
River, I le fgrred to aoruo of the Ranches below
Osborne's Ferry, on the south tide of tbe river.
In continusiion I miy state, thn Win. Tburnin
near the Ferry, bis a good Hunch, and is culti-
vating a small lot of fruit trees; be wafers bv
Neit above the Ferry is Mr. 0. Pettiliono, who
bu good garden, orchard and grain lands, raises
a Isrgu amount of vegetables, and is a neat and
tidy farmer; oil looks liko thrift, a place for
everything and everything in its place. Mr. 0.
VT. Sailer has a good Ranch a short distance
soars, ami good ground for fruit, though not
much planted, Messrs. Win. McKinnoy, Dels-
ney, and Thomas McMillcii, hate good Ranches,
hut make little effort to cullirnt* fruit. Dr.
Thomas Ins good garden and fruit lands. A
short distance above is the Raneb of Mr. The*.
Q. Murphy, a good grain fa
suitable for growing fruit. Mr. and Mrs. M. Ore
much interested in the school In this
taught by Mr. Eslras. This place fa known as
Branch's Ferry. Yesterday I had the privilege
or a ii .ilk through tho lino young orchard of Mr.
G. W. Branch. Last winter Mr. B. planted out
s good let of frui
has a good garden, watered by use of a wlnd-
ptimp, and has taken great pains to erect a good
four feet high, facod on both
to inclose his orchard and garden, lie ba
a good Hnlel, good baniaud ferryboat, and
Bunch, though the miners are about to make
finish el the latter, to get tho shining dust.
Mr. It. has some notions liko those of Ben Bolt ;
has Rome poor (once, nude of brush ant
and if the stock chance to get in end c:
loir necks, does not fret ; and after all hi
love for fruit than forest trees. My friend Ben

The Geological Question Again.
EoiTOfiB Farmer : It is singularly remarks,
bio thai Doctor IVinslow should still persist ii
bis declaration or [he incandescent condition of
our globe, after hiving utterly failed lo advance a
solitary fact or demonstrable circumstance, show-
ing that position worthy to bo entertained by
Bound and correct thinking men. Declarations
are very easily made, and cost nothing but ink
and paper ; all men who have the power of Epccch,
or tha use of pen, may make declarations, and
they may likewise send them forth as messages
from on high, but when subjected to the scruti-
nizing touchstone of reason, those which are not
Substantial most invariably wither and decay.
The proud Pharisee slood up in the Temple and
prayed, making the declaration that he was not
as other men, whilst the poor Publican was more
justified by grace.
I should not hava noticed his last tetter,
vera it not that he has seen Bl to toreo me
into a false light, by his reiterated assertion,
charging me with opinions which arc neither ex-
pressed nor implied in cither of my communica-
tions. Instead of confining himself to the ad-
vancement of authority, facts, and demonstrable
circumstances, in support of his position, which
is invariably required of the affirmative of a ques-
tion by the rules of debate, bu has resorted to tbo
unprofitable subterfuge of promulgating some
original and absurd notions, which are entirely
foreign from the subject, as emanating from my
pen. Notwithstanding my former protestation
•gainst the fake and uugrounded charge, imputing
to me the absurd notion, that the center of our
globe ever has been and now la fn a solid state, he
reitciaics, in his last letter, his former declaration,
and gives to yoor readers tbo important informa-
tion that I am the author of that absurd presump-
tion. The flimsy vail with which ho seeks to
conceal the glaring deformities or his position, in
CO frequently lugging in the term fluid, in con-
nection with, and at times substituting that word
■ for, tbo term incandescent, is another indication
of his evasion of the main point of tho subject.
If to avoid loo frequent repetition of the word in-
candescent he fihrjiilrl deem it necessary to intro-
duce a substitute, why not observe more strictly
the injunction wbieb ho so rigidly imposed upon
me in bis former letter {"and deal in exact
words, and positive tacts"), and he would have
found n far belter substitute in tho word liques-
cent, which defines distinctly tho fluid character
Of melted matter, whilst that of fluid most prop-
erly applies io all giutes and llquids.such as water
and air ; therefore, loo great n range is given to
the imagination to reader tho meaning dcHnilo
and proper in elucidating tho point of our discus-
Tjioa. For an example of tbo loose and careless
i manner in wbieb ho employs terms io the discos,
m of the subject, I quote the following from his
letter :
"Them
el'iel tl
the globe lo bo fluid, does not make it solid."
I quote again from tho Doctor's letter: "And ho

He says that my remarks compelled him lo throw
lo rut ibv gauntlet.
Problem— And pray what compelled him to
Ithdra
it?
Solution— 1st, By the inevitable laws of attrac-
tion and re pulsion, which are Inherent and co-ex-
istent properties of matter, one exerting an oppo-
site force to that or the other, thereby keeping all
matter in constant motion between these two
forces, and therefore rendering it utterly impossi-
ble for a globe of liquid molten rock, to folIQI its
it around the aun, impelled by the force of
repulsion alone, which is tho result or incandea-
2d, Incandescent beat destroys tho crystalline
beauty, and entirely changes Iho character or
granite rock; honco, the Doctor's Inability to
assign a cause for that result upon the hypothesis
jranitic rock having beoo formed through
that agency, satisfactorily accounts for his silence
i regard fn regard to that fact.
3d, Upon tho hypothesis that Iho center of our
globe now It in a stato of incandescent heat, tbo
caloric imparted to those vast salt mines at tho
bottom of theso wells, by tho ever burning liquid
within, would so far neutralize the con-
ng properties of that mineral, lhat very dif-
ferent results wuuld have been found to exist in
tho temperature of Ihe water which is ejected
therefrom ; hence tbo caution displayed by tbo
Doctor in bis declaration lhat wo must seek else-
hero for a aolutton or Ihe enigma, and at the
,mc lime bo very shrewdly asks how cold water
light become, after having percolated from the
tops or mountains into these sail mines.
4th, and last, It ia very evident from tho Doe-
r's letters, that bo Is utterly at a loss to meet
,e objections which have presented themselves
bll position; hence his precipitate retreat un-
ir cover of a dissertation upon theology.
When the Doctor shall succeed in the experi-
ment of generating with the galvanic battery, or
with any other electrical apparatus, and concen-
trating tho electric fluid, so tbat by Ihe potency
of the fluid from such machine ho shall be enabled
to subject his whole battery lo a slate cf iocan

poasibility that Ihis globe was subjected to the
same condition by that agent. Until then, wo
may safely regard the Doclor's notion in the
light of presumption.

loams of their success, and wherein thoy fail, so
that liko o well-skilled pilot ho can steer his own

plan, ho is not jeolous and suspicious lost his
neighbor should watoh his plans and steal some
ideas from him, and thus got ahead of him— ho

making good flour. The Ranch is a flnoono, with
some fruit, and ho had a good crop of grain, in-
cluding excellent wheat This mill Is propelled

In company with my wife, I bad tha pleasure
of a visit over to Iho Morood. Wo visited tho fint

is truly o fino Ranch. It is located on tho uortl
side of tho valluy, aloso to tho bluff or tublr

cedar), and good pino plank. A portion of tbo
Ranch is inclosed with a good ditch four feet
wide, posts and two planks on tho top ; a por-
tion with board fonoo entire, and laid o£E in
suitable shod fields. This is tho best farm south
of th D city of Stockton, in this Stato. I havo

a largo amount of grain, havo good fruit and

a good orop of barley, and somo fruit
whioh looks well, Messrs. Eugnlston sell goods,
keep a Hotel, and tho Forlorn Hopo Post-office,
i this, I visited tho Ranch of Dr. lUrfiulu,
which is truly a fino ono. nud I am of tho opin-
iun that richer land caunot bo found in tbii Slate.
Tho Duotor has a large number of fruit trees, of
various kinds, many of thorn bearing already,
and tho ooming year will no doubt favor tho
Dootor with an abundant supply of fruit. Ho

acroa of corn, n portion or whioh I think will

whole Hold will average fifty hustiols. He grows
•gu amount of potatoes of Gno quality, and
more than on averogo amount of molons,

places several slakes round the tree, attaches a
string to the stakes, and then ties the limbs
downward. He has plenty of water, which he
applies freely, and is not troubled with tho borer.
Tbo next Ranch. J. Wheat's, has no frail, yet is
well adopted. Next above is T. F. Jenkins, who

On tho whole, this valley is suscuptiblo of

And many of tho farmers ore not favoring Ben

produce as much fruit as any valley of Iho same

Wnrd of Newark cihibilcd a very remarkable,
large, flno now seedling siraivbeiry plant in bear-
ing, originated by Mr. tictb. Boy.len of Irviugtou,
K. J. Some of tho berries are 44 and 5 inches
in circumference. Mr. Boydeu is t
tho inventor of some oselul improvr
steam-engine. Hois n on- engaged in inventing
newfroits. His manner of producing seedling
plants is novel, and, as ho believes, ospedi' -
their production. He produces by artiBt
means tho same thing that the cold of winter pro-
Iba berries of this plant being so very large,
and growing solid and of a handsome crimson
color, will bo valuable for market-gardeners,
even if not very high-flavored. Wo think it well
worth iho attention of cultivators. Mr. Ward,
who is a relative of Mr. Longwortb, says Mr.
Longworlh is much pleased with this new seed-
Mr. Pardee— I don't think there is any ne-
cessity or the freeiing process mentioned to pro-

tled point that tho running Alpine strawberry
never hybridizes with any other variety. The
bnsh Alpine mokes a beauliful border, much bet-
ter than the box plant.
Continuum Bearing-.— Dr. Knight— I have
noticed in Paris that tho strawberry searon is
much longer than it is here, and I should like to
inquire if aov |--;r; en has ever nilemplcd to pro-
long their bearing by artificial means, and with
what success!
Solon Robinson— I will answer that ques-
tion. Hr.CbnrlesPeabody of Colombus, Georgia,
is tho Only successful cultivator of strawberries, I
believe, in tbo United States, who has pursued a
course that prolongs the bearing season. Ho has
sent his fruit regularly and continuously to mar-
ket for six months of tho year, from (be same beds,
and his vines have produced fruit ten months out
of twelve. Jiuw this is all nccompliFhed by very
simple mesnB, and is not at all in consequence of
the latitude, except that tho bearing reason may
commence earlier llicro than here. At first, Mr.
Peabodygrow vines upon rich soil, and the con-
sequence was that be grew vines and nnt fruit;
be could at any time mow o heavy 6wath of just
such rank leaves as these before us; but as bo
did not want to grow strawberry hay, and did
want to grow fruit, ho began to think what na-
ture did to produce strawberries, and changed his
course. lie then set bis plants upon newly
cleared sandy land that had a mere akin ol vege-
table mold, and from a brook near by be kept the
plants well watered, generally twice a day, and in
the fall covered tho groond with leaves and per-
haps a sprinkle of woods mold, just enough to
paint tbo sand, and there he actually grows
plants that produce, by measure, more fruit than
leaves, from March till October. And tho same
thing can be done here, upon any soil that is poor
-Enough.
Mr. Pardee— I havo no doubt of the troth of
Mr. Robinson's statement, because I havo seen
Mr. Peabody's plants bearing fruit in December.
There is one other man who does thesame thing :
Mr, Henry Lawrence of New Orleans. He pur-
i sues tho same course, and gets hemes all the long
hot summer. Tho secret of this loog continuous
production is keeping them in poor ground. Fer-
tility produces leaves, not fruit, on t trawler ry
Tines. Strawberries out of season would always
sell at high prices. I have no doubt they can be
cultivated hero in the tame way. The average
crop of strawberries near this city Is thirty oi
forty bushels per acre. A well- cultivated croj
will produce from ono hundred to two huudrec
bushels. Look at the profit of such cultivation :
Valuta/ a Strawberry Crop.—Tha ordinary
price will average about St! a bushol, but such
berries as these Boynton seedlings would bring
SIC a bushel. It would bo easy to gel glDtiO
worth of strawberries per acre.
Judge Meigs— When Thomas Bell mi

found about five acres of strawberries on

such a crop, he did not know the value, and Eold

they will nut keep. It is difficult to preserve tho
vitality of acorns over from one year to another.
Yet, as wo hear, oaks at ones spring up where
none grow before. Where does tho seed como

A New aaa Valuable. Dlalnleacins Agsnt
Da. Angus Smith, of Mancheslor, Engli
lately read a paper beforo tho Society of Aria,
London, in which ho a U ted that he and a friend
named McDoogall, somo ycara ago had roado nu-
merous ciperimenU lo Gnd out a good disinfect-
ing agent, and bad at last found that Sulphlto of
Magnesia, which Is procured from Magnesian
Limestone, and a certain percentage of carbolic
or phonic acid, which Is procured from coal '""
made a disenfecting powder of remarkable eff
cy. The mode of using this powder fs first to
sweep tho stable, then sprinkle it with tho pow-
der, tho quantity being about tbo same as that of
sand lo sprinkloa Boor. Then tbelitter is thrown
over this. This powder has been found so pow-
erful and completely elTectlve, that when intro-
duced into stables where sick and wounded onny
horses were, no disagreeable odor was perceptible,
either from the wounds or tho feces. A stable-
keeper who always kept on hand a large number
or horses, found lhat by using ibis powder, his
hnrscswero healthier, lung diseases had disap-
peared, or decreased , while their ^jes mil In. illli
did uol sulfcr from tbo inflating cflecls of the
ammonia which is 10 be found in all stables. It
was also tound lhat tho slab I b was cooler, and
that tbo dung did not decompose so that Dies did
not breed in it, and ihoro were fower of these
pests to annoy the beasts. Mr. Murray, the sta-
ble-keeper, also found that after tbo monuro of
his stable in which ho had used this powder had
been used one year, ho was offered double for it
next year by the market gardeners who had pur-
chased and used it. As Dr. Smith was not a
trading man, had no interest in manufactures
and did not mean to have, his statements in rela-
tion to this matter aro considered reliable and
disinterested.

Tho City of the Dead.
SiLwriT ore its slreets. No hum of business,
10 noise of mirth, no voice of revelry, no sound
f music, is heard within its borders. Tho song
f Iho little bird falls with a sweet sadness opon
he ear. Save this, and iho voice of wailing
wrung fruni somo crushed hearts of tho living
blending with tho sound of the distant ocean bil-
breaking against the shore, all is silent.
You may wander through its winding streets
gazo upon its magnificent monuments reared hy
Iho hand of affection and guarded with watchful
tenderness. On every hand they rieo up in mule
and mnurnful grandeur, or poep out from beneath
iho trees and flowers, that bloom as brightly
there, as by the groat thoroughfare where tho
restless lido of humanity over sweeps onward,
bearing its living freight to tbo great and silont
city. As you tread that sacred soil, consecrated
to tho uso of thoso who havo no necessity lo go
in or out, all of life's duties, its joys and sorrows,
seem to bo brought distinctly before tho mind;
their reality and importance stand forth with a
tcrriblo prominency; those duties overshadow
all else, and a fooling of our mortality insensibly
steals over tho heart.
There, if nn wheie clso on tho wide earth, the
living must think, must review tbo past, and con-
template tho future. There, tho very silence
ipeaki in thunder tones, tho monuments utter
truths nnbcnrd beloro. Tho flowers, though
blooming brightly, admonish you of tho timo
when they nr others may wave over your own
Inst resting place. Tho rustling branches of tree,
or shrub ; tho green grass, the gleams of sun-
shine through tho dense foliage, tho dark-blue
waves of tho ocean rolling in tho distance, the
hum of tho city of the living spread nearly all
round it; all impress tho mind with a solemnity
that will bo bolti salutary and permanent with
Iho pure and good, and prove as useful monitory
lessons to Iho thoughtless and vile. With a
guide you may hurry through ila walks in a day,
nnd hastily glnnco at its attractions ond'its many
points of Interest, and form somo idea of its gen-
eral, and more prominent features; but mntiy

around you, nnd count on tho right hand and
tho loft, tho greedy expectants of office. Not a

can truly benefit their follow men, not whore
they can mako themselves usoful to the com-
munity where- thoy re»ide, or advance the cauao

Oh no, none of tbeso — but it is Oit main chance

pay but, and without work.
Tharo is a doss of hungry office Eeekers that

at hang round, that when tbo working beo is
out gathering food to lay up for tho winlor, thoy
steal in, and consume and carry away (ho food
of others; nnd thus it is in California, and
laboring men of our Stale have toiled nnd toiled
to feed and support this class of leeching, laiy
drones, until their own food is gone.

Trbuk seems to bo n movement going
rather on ii tufa-grot, n if current to inlroduoo into
California banks nnd banking, with a pnpor civ-
oulation, and politioinns and hard-pressed spec-
ulators ore pulling thoir heads together (wc
had almoBt said wits) lo see in what way they
can best introduco this sabjeet, this
as to got it before Iho Legislature the coming
winter. There ia a olass of men that say Cali-
fornia, can never rise again without n bunking
capital and a paper cirenlatjnu ; thoy assort lhat
she needs a credit to help her out of hor present
embarrassed condition. This is a end mistnko,
it has boon hor credit that has ruined her ; bar
orcdit has been too good, and the has owed
"i ill owos too mueh abroad, and until that debt
is paid she can never rise; that debt must
paid by tho produote of hor soil. Tbo grain of
her valleys, hor wool, bides and tallow, hor
horns, old iron nnd kegs— these nil tell
were it not for Ibia debt she would now ht
to use nil thoso mnterials here in manufactories
of her own. Being constantly in debt Califoruii
is novor had time to rcfleot what she should
- could do to make herself truly independent.
Wo havo said California has bad too much
credit, and yet sho could not use it to muob ad-
itago; hororeditbas been water-logged. Wo

'o hope that every well wisher of our Stato
will do what ho can lo crush this hydra-headed

although the debt may havo henn incurred by

When at Sacramento recently, we visited thi
Garden of Dr. B. B. Brown, on H street. Thi
Doctor i9 ono of our amateur horticulturists,!!
passionately fond of the study and practice of
horticulture, and if any ono will visit his Pet
Garden, it will bo seen that he bos a great many
pets. Trees, planta.and flowers, once in bis hinds
id by him planted, become identified wilh bis
:ry nature and he loves them, as a dealing
parent loves a child. Dr. Brown has planted
and plants upon a given space of
ground than any person wo know of. Tho Doc-
prldes himself upon having everything or (ho
best, and so ha Iibs, in trees, plants, otcj but wo
think he bus too much of (ho good in so small a
spico, i. e. be has (rece and plants enough for a
four-acre lot, instead of a city garden. Why,
Doctor, you want to monopolize the goad things!
Wo noticoda Bno seedling Peach, a Qno Necta-
rine, Apple and other fruit; also very lino stand-
ard and climbing roses ; bat nc must say, if ,h u
Doctor would take out two-thirds of tbo fruiL
trees and plant them olsowbere, ho would
md light to tbo balance, and bin crop would
n amount thai it ever can bo from
all the trees as they now grow, while his pet
flowers would iben bloom freely.
The Doctor has dono a good deal by his exam-
ple lo stimulate a love of the beautiful, and has
exhibited many Hno specimens. Wo regret not

Blrenroing nil over her bright Curls, childhood's

"01" she cried, losing tbo stray curls from h.

strains answered liqiidly to my touch. Now tbi

of peaceful rest," occurred to my memory, anc
thus I played and sing till Nellie's father Came

her golden-tinted hair and hazel eye. lis look

the new piano, he turned to me, laughingly, say-
ing, "Yes, and tbu best part of it is, it only coil
ma ten dollars."
I expressed n; asLinislun^nt, if! my look of
wonder drew another laugh" from him.
"Let me tell you the story," be said, drawing
litlk- JJi.'Uie toimrJ him. and L-nuircling her little
form wilh bis arm, while- she looked with as much
astonishment as myself, and ho began.
■■A few years ago I went to Chicago. I had
been there but a Tow days, when, in one ol my
morning walks, I encountered a girl some twelve
years old, a very intelligent, l>ri K lit-c;-.-d child,
who** face wore such a sorrowful oipression that
] almost slopped to speak with her as she passed.
The morning air was raw and chilli, the ground
wet from a light fall of .-ark snow, and 1 noticed
Ibat, as the wind "--
cred u
As she-
pin
"■PI.
by me, she half turned, and 1 had gone
le way before I beard quick footstep* behind
,nd stopping, the girl lifted her hand. as ir to
- L — arm, then drawing hack, she said:
if yoo could giro me a little money
to buy bread,
"'Are you hungry 1" Tasked.
" Tfra, sir, real hungry;' and her lips quivered.
'"Doesn't your father work, and brine home
bread?
" 'Father istlck,' she said, 'and mother a ]i rained
her arm, and my brother, who used to help us.
was drowned not long ago.'
"Something in my heart, and in her fice, told
me that her story waa true. I took her Into a
biker's *hop, bade her hold out her lettered
apron, and filled it with loaves. Then putting fice
dollar* into the shopman 1 * hand, 1 Minulninr] thai
Ibopoor family was to have bread enry morning
till the money was used up. Then I slipped ai
other Uvo dollars into the girl's hand, and turm
hriily fmiii her leir tilled eyes.
"Well, ten dollars was gone, and I was by i
through ■ German missionary. She is a good
scholar, and teaches a little school herself, now.
in Chicago. She has becomo a handsomo and
refined young woman, and is educating her only
brother younger than herself. I learned from
him that my litllogift put now life Into the sink-
ing heart of tho poor, sick father, and the nourish-
ment procured with some of tho money, gave
strength 10 his weak frame. Tho father obtained
employment, tho little brother found work to do
in an office, and the girl obtained tho rovorahlo
notice of a celebrated pianist, who saw thai sbo
pos-essed musical gifts of a high ordcr.su that by
his cultivation, she became enabled to support
herself. So, yon see, ton dollars mado a whole
fimily happy, grateful, and useful, and bought me
this beautiful instrument."
Verily, truth is stranger than Action.

Ix an article npon this subject in the Springfield
{Moss.) Republican, wo find tho following sensible
and admirable remarks, and believing tbat the
happiness and prosperity at tho farmer depend in
a great measure upon the condition of hi* home,
we copy a portion, and commend it 10 n careful
consideration :
"Tho life of tho fanner is en often made the
subjoot of complimentary remork, so ofton
praised for its peacefulness and indi-peniU'iici-.
that the runner's wife might, very rnii. r.,i!h . he
supposed to he I he happiest mi in the world.
From her relation to the "lords of tho soil," sho
ahould bo tho lody of tho soil, a peaceful,
healthy, independent woman. Thnt (lit) revorao
of this, Li the cimera! faot, will bo universally
conceded by tbo wires of tho farmers.
"A young farmer arrives at the ago when hi
ihin!>"it tim.'for him t" get married and 'settle
down." Ho has hnd n rrspeniuhle eihicntiei
and wants a woman who is his equal. He looks
about hi ind mukes his choice. Sbo is o girl
bred beside him in tho country, linn Leon well
educated, reared by careful parents, and is, in
' i truest aeuso, n lady. Sho loves books, pos-
ise'a skill and tosto in music, and is. in all
ntrt, fitted to reign tbo queen of a hnppy
no. Sho becomes tho wife of (ho farmer, is
bilious to do as much ns her neighbors, and
r husband is soon avaricious enough to allow
tho woman of hia love (o becomo bis most do-
ited dcudgo. From ihoiici-fiirth, her life it. one
the most unremitting toil. It is nothing but
end and patch, cook and bako, wash and iron,
iuni and mnko cheese, pick up chips and draw
water, bear children mid nursu them. Tho
family enlarges, tho husband grows wenlthy,
becomes important in community, rides to town
iory day, takes hia eoje when he ohooaea; hut
i0 cares of bis faded and broken-down wifo,
know no relaiation. Sho may outlive her hus-
band, hut rarely duos ; and, not uufrequently, a

According to this arrangement «e may I

consequent on the choice of Pacheco's Piss as
that Ihii.tiL-h which LhcOvuFlonrl mail will |.t.il.;i-

■'Irm'conversation with the Hon. Wm. M, Gwin,
tliilpiiilenun o:-aii;d a friend oloors that there
is no doubt the mail stage* will come up notlh
through theTVjon Pass, and on the west iide or
the Tulare Likes, and eo on through Pacheco'o
Pass, into the Mission of San .Tuan Batista. As
tho new road over Pacheco's Pass is in the best
sligiriK older, it will afford every facility for the
through [he beautiful and fertile valleys of San
Juan, Gilrore, Liguoo, Santa Clara, and so on to
San Jo:e and Sau Francisco, making one of tho
most picturesque and delightful traveled roads in
the world; and beyond c^uipirisoii tho finest
country and most desirable for settlement and
health in tho whole £tatc of California. On this
route there aio no swamps nor bad rivers to
cross — Enow and ice arc scarcely known, and the
best of grass, water, etc., is lo be found every-
where; rame seventy miles of the country be-
tueee the Tejon and' Pacheco's Pass is but little
tattled. Tin: fim.'t tullti-.i lor innchi-n and -top-
ping places are to be found at the foot bills of the
coast range, from the Tejon to Pacheco's, almost
all of which is public laud open to settlement and
occupation."

The train left Salt Lak? Citv by the 15th of
June, with 1.170 htad uf rattle, and »r'"" a
Aognat Qlh ot the Iii^ oleadoiie, thiiij-flta
[rum Honey Lake, with 1,141 Head, all In good
order. Grass along the Humboldt was good.
Tbe train met with no trouble from the Indians
Left the Humboldt at Lunon ileadowa, and
crossed tbe Desert on the Noble's Pass Route, in
three days. Gross and water ccarce, but small
bauds of cattle could be taken through without a
Seat deal of trouble. Considering the great num-
rof slock, got over the desert with eottimra
titely little trouble, loiing but twenty-sii head.
After leaving Deep Springs, simj milts from
Humboldt, and from llicru through to Honey
Lako \'alley, feed and water good.
The opinion of Captain fcigan, who had the
train in charge, and who has traveled the other
routes several times, is that il is far the best
route, and all tho difficulties of supplying the
cattle could ho overconio by dividing a large hcid
into small bands of one lo three hundivd head,
ami let them travel n fow miles apart. The cat-
tle of Livingston. Kinkaid & Co. arc at tho Big
Meadows, on the road to Honey Lake Valley,
where they will remain till tho feed ia good in
the Sacramento Valley.
Mr. Junes Crawthan arrived in Beckwilh's
Valley on the Jd ml . Imnn; l-n Mi—ouri ui> it ]L .
2d ot May. II. st.ried with r,T. head of cattle,
and arrived with 487. On the West Branch of
the Humboldt relieved a family conainine i,l Mr.
Ucman and child, and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, frum
>□ attack of hostile Indians.
The immigmtion thin year will be larger than

these arc used fur other purposes;
It Is adapted to all wells, and ' fills a desidera-
tum long sought but never attained (except at
great expense) till the present inventor, Mr. Ho-

Editors FanHen: A Tow days ago, whilst
inspecting closely some of my finest trees, I found
they were infected by a small white worm, about
quarter or an inch long, at, or within, one or'two
inches Of the top or the ground. All of thu trees
thus affected arc not in a flourishing condition;
the leaves turn yellow, and the troo does not seem
to thrive wol I. Perhaps yon or some of your
readers can let mo know what Is the most speedy
remedy. 1 have made an application of strong
soap- suds i this was my remedy in tha Atlantic
States. Perhaps you can suggest something
better. From observation I am satisfied that
trees upon high lands are often affected in this
way. Truly yours, infcsto, I. D. Mohlev.
Wo received tho above letter of inquiry from
our valued Pleasant Valley correspondent, and
are happy lo be able to answer his question ; and
if our suggestions do not meat his call, and
remedy the evil, wc hope to hear from him again.
At the same time we would ask all archardisU
and gardeners, who have been injured by these
worms, (o inform us, and we would be glad
to hear from all who can suggest a remedy of a
different kind from the one we now propose.
Our remedy is a strong decoction of Tobacco,
poured round the roots of tho trees, Wo believe
(bis will "bo (ho death" of Iho worms. Should
this foil, will friend Morley inform us?
New Steam Flow.
A plow Inventor in Iho city of New York pro-
sents tho following model of a plow, to moot the
great premium of S50.00D offered by an eminent
landholder or Illinois, who makes this offer for a
practical steam-plow Tor the prairies. Where are
the plow makers of California? Let thu genius
of tho Gulden State win the premium :
A steam-plow for the prairies should consist of
a mclal frame mounted upon wheels, in the peri-
phery of which are sharp pins or teeth to hold
upon tho esrlh. In front Is an independent
wheel, fixed to a swivel, so that tho machine may
be steered by it in any direction, and capable of
accommodating Itself lo (he irregularity or tha
earth. Upon tha frame la the boiler, with the
engine attached; also the tender for fuel ond
water. At the rear part of tho frame is a second
frame, arranccd lo bo raised and lowered at will.
A large toothed wheel Is surrounded for about
one-third Its front periphery by several small
wheels, and below these smaller wheels are tho
cutters, suitably braced. These cutters will bo
verllcal, or nearly so, and will consist of several
blades placed spirally around a shaft. Motion is
given (n Ihe largo wheel from the engine, which
causes It to revolve, carrying with It the small
wheels and cutters. As tho cuKcrs rovolvo they
may bo lowered into (he car(h, screwing it up and
casting it over their topa so that It will fall in a
pfrleitly hroken-up mass. - Hiving (has placed
them in (he ear(h tho machine presses forward,
chipping the soil Into thin shavings (similar to
(ho shavings from ■ wood-planing inscliino), and
"King the mass over (hoir tops, mixing tho
ioIu together in a manner superior to ony work
it can bo done by tho plow and harrow, as It
ves it entirely like a balch ol meal. A sepa-
ra(o carriage in (ho rear will carry tho planting
— ' -ovcrtng machino. This will bo peifectly
r, so that by slightly changing, it will either
roadcast, in drills. r,r in hilla. Tho cowing
apparatus will follow and perform its work bc-
j manner tho seed is to bo covered,
icseen that instead of goiugovcr tho
ncs to perform (ho wprk, i( is be(ter
... u„ u single passing over tt. Ono man can

beginning in San Francis mi the other large
cities, will well over the hills and valleys, and be
echoed back from Ibo moon tain*.
To furnish a healthy bosiness lor the cities
and toirns now in California, there should be at
least one million of inhabitants. The importing
merchants cannot sell their wares oicept to a
limited client, because the small population is
soon supplied, ind the people in the coontry can-
not afford to buy, oscepfc barely the necessaries
of life, because they finjCo ready markets for the
prodnctfl of their landsjor articles manufactured
from the raw material produced in the Stale.
Those living in cities, hieing little trade, high
rants, exorbitant UiU, c»pentivo living, and
small profits, cannot afford to purchase- luxuries
from tbo country. This leaves a surplus in the
banda of tho farmer, and themercbant- If either
could 6ell at fair rates, they could well afford to
buy of the other. The landlord, by having all
bis warehnnscs and tenements tilled with those
ivbo could promptly pay the rents, could let ol
less prices than now rule. Tho merchants, meet-
ing with ready sale for their wares, could then
afford to bnlld booses and surround themselves
with elegant luiorica. This would call out and
amply remunerate the mechanical skill of the
State. IV hen the mechanics and merchants
thrive tho farmers will prosper. When all
classes are prospering, tho growth of a Stale must
bo vigorous, healthy, and permanent. While all
continue to thrive, no one class of a community,
following any of the great induslrial pursuits of
the nation, can suffer long without all other
classes feeling it, and suffering also. All depart-
ments of tradn and industry an so intimately
connected that it is utterly impossible for any one
to be long depressed, without retarding the gen-
eral prosperity. It ia the harmonious blending
of tho colors of tho rainbow that lenders it an
object of admiration to all who behold it- So it
is tho graceful harmony of all Industrial pursuits,
tho grouping together of all the compor
of tho comparatively, separate interests of all tho
people of a State, or nation, lhat the true strength,
vigor, end glory of the country may be fully
While this feeling is being recognized lu tome
oilcot, and crory year sees California more self-
ig and independent, the absolute occes-
nviog • largo increase of population is
felt by all classes. If two hundred thousand
could land upon your shores every year, the very

This, I believe, Messrs. Editors, is thooulyhnpo

:kly, for there is loo much at stake
' to bo lost , but if you do not tokc hold

Before reading the article alluded to, I Intended

Had California been at the beginning likr
Stales, her growth would, as others, have been
gradual and healthy ; but the very necessities
the case, at first, required large cities, where sup- 1
plica could be landed and resbipped to the interior.
The tidy of population from tho Plains, met by
tho advancing nave from the Pacific coast, soon
spread over the mining districts; all depending
upon the cities for the necessaries of life, and all
the implements of labor. These cities, having a
largo profit on ell poising through them in tho
way of merchandise, soon expanded beyond all
former precedent in any other coontry. Their
warehouses and wharves were tilled with all
kinds of tho sUploaiticlcs of life. Then, the two
great pursuits of California were, digging roM,
and the supplying miners with food and raiment
in exchange for tho gold, and shipping the trea-
sure to the East, to foot tho bills.
When, however, the farmer began to sopply
bread for the masses, this great branch uf trade
Toll off; but, previous to this, shippers, believing
or hoping that breadstufls could never be pro-
duced there, ur even any of the comforts of life,
made oxtcoslvc arrangements for a permanent
business of greet profit. Extensive warehouses
were built, largo orders were sent to the East, for
the necessaries and luxuries of lire. From every
part of tho State the golden stream set In towards
thecitica. This ilimuli ted merchants to increase
tbeir Orders, already too large, until tho wharves
literally trembled, and the warehouses groaned
under the weight ol merchandise.
In tho midst or this moat unparalleled prosper-
ity, the flames again and again auept over the
cities. With an energy unheard of before, your
eiliiens girded themselves to grapplo wllb both
flood and flame. Whole streets and stores sprung
up, almost like Jonah's gourd, in a night. Wider
and deeper flowed the golden tide; higher and
broader became tho warehouses; more costly
were their contents; when again, in a few short
hours, all were a mass, of smoking ruin
they wero not discouraged In their work
In the meantime, those In tho interio

now beginning to feel that there is no State wbci

of interest, in all places, that must bo held u&crcd

EnUmuuni for tbe BthlWtloa!

been progressing, 1° »" laat isBae ' ■ Dl1 oovtog
wived a letter from tho Recording Secretary sir
that issue, 6o fall of the mat and interest, coming
from the Beard of Directors, wo publish it, aed
hope it will stir np the- people. Wo am of opinion
that Stockton intends to redeem herself from ibi
choree or being a dull place. It « ill be seen thai
everything jfl moving wilh electric speed. The
Social Departmeat will be under the special
of tho ladies j and of o sorely, we know it will be
tho ne pint vllra— for what they undertake will
bo accomplished, and successfully, too. Tho citi-
zens of Stockton no donbt will mako it, in reality,
a jubilee week
We also pnblish the list of the several Commit-
tees, and it will be poroaved that they have been
selected with great caro from nil sections of the
State, and most be satisfactory ; nod tho gentle
men elected should make it s point to be present
nod act, and give time to do so.
We novo received a parcel of Mcmbera' Tickets,
which can be had of as, or at onr office. Theso-
tickets admit the members with their family, lo all
theEihibitionsoftboseason. Itistobehopedthst
all friendly to this cause, will call and get tickets.
P.S, Those of iho sterner sel mast carry blank-
els, so that they con "bonk down" if necessary, or
do "camp duty" and stand guard, as the Ladies
are to be first provided for :

of success- No one can look npon thiit noble

There bos been a generous feeling manifested all
over tho Slate, nnd we are happy in know and to
testify to the fact that large numbers or oor Me-
chanic* in various branches of Industry, ore- pre-
paring to eihibit tie evidences of their skill tied
ability. Artists, too, io all tho varied branches
of gen ins and taste; the Ladies (heavtn bit*.*

tho Horticulturist, and tho Farmer, they will jail
and thus every landholder, every merchant, every

None most bo indifferent,

A Good Example— A Loaf of C&H.B.
In our ramMings, the last week, wo made a
call at lhe lioaso of ■ friend, and, nhito io conver-
sation with friends, a little girl of some dozen or
fourteen years came tripping into lhe room, and,
addressing a gentleman present, said, "Will you
tabo a piece orcakc, father 7 I hovo been learn-
ing domestic duties, and Ibis is of my otcti mull* ;
please tell mo if you think it good." The cake
was passed round lhe room; ice tasted it, and
brought a piece away with us, and have just fin-
ished it; It iri" excellent; much belter than
many married women of our city could make, we
fear. What an excellent plan, if all liltlo misses
could bo early taught domestic duties, to mako
bread, cakes, butter, roast a pleeo of beef, make
puddings and pies— how great would bo tho ad'
vantage lo California, where ovcry family -bos
been, and is, so likely to meet with changes in
fortooe ■, bow great help in time of need
would be tbe well-trained daughters ; bow sweet
tho food, in Iho bourof adversity, thnt is prepared
by Iho hand of a child. As we tasted that cake,
wo thought how sweel lhe taste of that cake must
be to that father. Wo should bo prouder uf that
attainment in a child thon of mora sbining ac-
complishments, without this domestic excellence.
This again reminds us of another circumstance
which occurred in one of our rambles in lhe
country, We were in company with a vory ex-
cellent young gentleman friend, who was travel-
ing with us, and Justin a marriageable condition ;
with cxcollent education, fortune, good address,
and every qosllDcalion lo please. When calling
on a Tamily, wo introduced our frlond. Tbo fam-
ily upon whom wo called bad recently moved
into a new house ; it wss of modern stylo ; gen-
teel, well arranged, handsomely furnished— and
tho lady, ns is usual, invilcd us to look at the near
haiue. ond lo givo our opinion of it. We did so.
Tho lady of tho house, with her daughter (n very
bindtomo young lady of sixteen) then showed os
over tbo house, parlors, halls, sitting-rooms,
dining-room, all. To say it was handsome, or-
derly, and most corily comfortable, particulorly
so, would be but Irulbful words. Just as wo
were returning to tho parlor, lhe dnught(
"Would you look nt my parlor J"
and were led to lbc kitchen. "This is my pari,

Tell proud to own she was not ashamed to have
known sbo knew how lo preside in, or dirccl tbo
affairs oftho kitchen. At this time, tho family-
were without servants, and Ibo daughter had
been educated as every daughter should be.
Wo returned to the parlor, and tho conversa-
tion turned upon domestic duties. Tho daughter
understood tho ait ofplcasing conversation. Then
music was introduced, and wo soon found this
fair maid understood bow lo preside in tbe parlor
also. As we bid foruwcll to our friends, nnd ere

since that day, we have frequently met our friend

of lOTTdsereo."
"Be Euro Yon ore nigbt. Then Go Anoad."
Messrs. Editors : Divines lell us, as you
and the readers of tho Faiuieb well know, that
it wu a wise arrangement of Holy Church to
institute Lent ; as othorwiso, oJtbong b tho
parsons are constantly calling upon their flocks
to repent of their oril ways, and turn to a now
life, they might oicuso themselves by saying
that they would thing of tho matter at n moro
convenient :■'■--■■ Li- This eeoms sensible; and
although, of tho Feasts and Fnsianf tho Chniob,
I hod ajwuysa decidod preference for tho former.
and even when a sebool-boy used to regret that
"Christmas came but onco a year," I really
think wo fanners might in our worldy matters
toko a hiot from those good men, especially as
In many things it cannot now-n-doys bo mid
fliat " the children of this world are in their
generalum wiser thou the children of light."
The tost sheaf of this orop has now been
harvested, and a considerable portion threshed
oat, nail a little reflection will enable every far-
Bar to ascertain whether his returns sufficiently
Rmunerato him for his labor and expenditure
Bat it is not from a merely general reflootioi
tint n o< is it system U likely to be followed ii
fntore. It is not likely to lako forty days to di
•a, however, in a satisfactory manner. I nnuh
therefore recommimd to our agricultural frieods
in imitation of those saints of tho olden time, U
think seriously over the matter ; and take titn-
to it, so that thoy may como to a correct con
'elusion; and it it woro not presumptuous.
"rronU make a few rcmurks whioh I belinva wil
do no barm and may do some good ; especially
as I havo been a farmer myself, utid know pretty
well "the tins with which Ibny aro most likely
to bo tempted." and wherein their system is
unost likely to be deficient.
*5Tho first thing which 1 would recommend to
every farmer is to keep regular Books. Is it
not strange tint every petty grocer nhoold per-
ceive the propriety -i doing so. and yet farmers,
to whom they are of so maah importance, seem
to think such a thing entirely unnecessary 1 I
do not mean merely that tho farmer should keep
aregulur account of his expenditure and iqoamo,
and ourrent family expenses. It is probable
that hi) does keep such an account. But this is
not coougb. He should keep a regular Labor-
Book, and open n Dr. and Cr. account with
every field on tho farm. Tho propriety of this
is evident. Some of bis fields may bo highly
profitable, and others may not pay for the culti-
van'on; and fur reasons which wo shall seo by
and by it Is of the greatest importance to him to
know exactly their separate returns. In this
Book be ought to Dr. each field with the value
of tho labor put opoo It, tbo valuo of tho seed,
the expeoses of harvesting and carrying the
produce to market, and alto a proportion of tin
incidental eip, uses of the farm; Bud Cr.lt with
tifl gross returns.
By the adoption of each u correct system,
(ho farmer would ho enabled to comparo and
Contrast one finld with another, oud bo induced
to draw conclusioos as to tho causes or their
different productiveness, and tho propriety of
enhancing by nn improved ayskm of forming
that of [!i (150 whioh may not have yielded any
profit at all, or of abandoning their cultiv,
*3lDgDlher — always keeping in mind that
wldam ni-o t/> abandon the cultivation of
Jitr which bo bos already provided men, anil
tad implement*, and which Iboagh ho ce
apparently employ to advaolago as he has
finning hitherto, bo cannot want
Now I would muko a bargain with our ugri-
Itoral friends: — Although, being so far agood
otestaot, I havo no wish to bocomo their
rather confossor, I would oxnaiioo moro par-
ticularly tho claims of deep-plowing and sub-
s' .i ling, if every farmer, who after n proper in-
vestigation has reason to bo dissatisfied with his
rofits under his present syatom, should bo bo
listied thnt my conclusions aro right in tho
uin, would giro them a fair trial — keeping at
10 some time a correct account of tho labor
performed, the value of the seed, and tho pro-
and orory other item connected with tho

ing Irvine/s now life of tho great Statesman, it Is
ditllciilt not to extract a passage here and there,
and to-day we must be imbibed in this respect.
'In a letter to the Chevalier de OhssMIui, for
whom he fell an especial regard, he says: "I will

onco indicate a knowledge of my declining years,
and their disposition to spread their mantles over
me, before I go hence to return no more." (Vol.

ing passages, from the graceful pen of Mr. Irviog :

THE OALirOBNIA FABMEB^
Dr. Bcotfa Addreaa on Mechanic Art.
Thc Lecture announced lo bs dilivcrcd! on last
Sunday by this distinguished Divine was just
what mtehl have been eupcctai, and the crowded
churcb was (ho hut proof that much iris in an-
ticipation by those who attended. Wo never
recollect seeing so crowded* bouse before, and
•re are confident all went away gratified.
The Lccturo was truly original, and we thinh
that many who hate heretofore looked upon the
Mechanic with disdain, because- ho was only a
irontin^-man, must bate had some new idea*
pat into their beads, when they learned (per-
haps for the first limo) that Solomon was a me-
chanic ; for wo verily believe that men who have
snch a horror of the presence of a Fanner
homespun and a Mechanic jn his apron,
think they are not llko ordinary men, and
now be proved to bo a fact, for when tho beautiful
Pavilion— or more properly Speaking Temple
for it will bo truly a Temple of Art— shall be
opened, the Mechanics of California will show
thoy are in deed and truth extraordinary men.
But to the lecture. Dr. Scott selected the follow-
ing, passages of scripture upon which to base his
remaika : 74tb Psalm, olb verse ; Isaiah 5th clip.
23d verso; Gencses 1st chap. 4th verse, slid 4th
chap, and last verses. From these he demon-
strated that the bastsof all early formsof govern-
ment, of progress, of societies, of prosperity in
all departments, rested in Agriculture and the
Mechanic Arts, and tho aid which science gave to
their devoloperaent, Tho Plow, (he Gold, the
"Cattle upon a thousand hills;" these wero the
means of advancement among the ancients. With
lliu aid of these Solomcn bnilt his glorious Temple
and the Pyramids were raised. Witbtbcsccllie
were built, and 'WAon! then," saldtbcspcakci
"ciliu eannai be btalt."
The lecturer gave a Ecrles of most interesting
facts, from sacred and profane histories, of thi
rise and progress of Agriculture and tbcMeehanii
Arts. Be spoke of the manner in which thc
ancients pressed out tho wine and thrashed out
their grain. He also spoke of the First Agri-
cull.. ml Exhibition in good old Ireland, in 1723,
(wo wish, we had a history of the "taters"
Mhibilod), of Iho second in honnle Scotland, or
(ho third in merry France, and thence to our
'■Fader Loud," staunch old England -, and in allud-
ing to tho advance or Arland Science in England
(he Doctor well and truly said, "tho proudest thing
England ever did was lo erect the Crystal Palace."
Wo cannot but allude to some of > Ibc most
happy expressions of the lecturer. In speaking
of tbe influence cf Fairs on thc domestic depart-
ment ho said, it is no difficult thing to mike a
loaf of broad, but to make good bread ia no
mean thing. This happy hit we hope will ho re-
sponded 10 by tho fair daughters of California,
and no hope they sill show the Doctor they
know how lo make good bread. Wo shall move
lhat the best loaf be awarded tho Doctor for his
happy hi'. He also made a happy allusion to
what will be necessary during this great Fair, a
generous hospitality among all families; says Ik o
Doctor, "letTersoierHospilallsbeinacribcd upon
every door post; this wilt odd so much lo tho
prosperity of this great gathering, and go far to
advance the moral and religious interest of a
community." Wo beliovo this will be done; it
has been done at Stockton.
In commending tbe science of Agriculture and
(peaking of its merits, he said he thought the
man Qod mado after bis own Image and placed
in Paradise, where so many beautiful fruits and
Savers grew, most hare learned a little to trans-
mit lo us ; that wo have from Adam tho Garden
of Eden, and Solomon the templo builder tbo
twoj great architects of these, sciences to date
from ; and » ucb men and such laborers arc no
very mean men, though broadcloth of the present
day may sometimes 6com a workingman.
Tho Doctor urged with'grcat lorco the import-
ance of cultivating good will, charity, and all the
kindest faculties of man's nature, for, as at this
Fair (hero will bo strife for precedence and
Jealouiles, still the nobler attributes should pre-

they will be the powder lhat will rub ulT all the
rough corncra, and prcjadlco and all lhat is un-

WacelBr'a Garden, [Sacramento.
When at Sacramento a little' time since, we
paid a visit lo the Garden of Ituv.O. C. Wheeler,
and found much to admire. A fine arbor of the
Los-Angeles Grapo forms a good shady walk in
semicircular form, from tho entrance gale to the
front door. Tho garden in front is Bllod with
roses and other flowers, and flno honeysuckles
and passion Honors cover the front of tho bouse.
We found the Orchard in wecilonl growing
order; the Peach trees had heavy crops; Apple
and Pear trees in hearing; some Nectarine trees
lhat surpass any crops «o have yet seen wo
hardly dare say how miny Mouianrf nectarines
wero hanging on the tree, bat ihoy would "
in bushels. Strawberries, Raspberries and Apr!
Thc I
the dome ol
nurseries bavo mado remarkable growth ; tbi
Pear, Plum aod Cherry, have grown live to nini
feet from bud and graft tho present year. W(
think Mr. Wheeler has some of the finest varie-
ties or Evergreens in tho State; wo saw also fine
ornamental trees of rare kinds, one magnificent
specimen of tho Tamarind tree in bloom, which
for beauty canuol bu excelled— it was truly gor-
geous, and has been in bloom for many weeks.
Wo saw and toslcd line ponchos, which Mr. W.
claims as seedlings, and saw others of wonderful
size. Tho trees in the garden have made a largo
growth, and the plica Is advancing, Wo regret-
ted to sec thc Hedge round tho lot had been per-
mitted to grow without clipping ; we fear it wil
be lost, as tho wood is greatly injured when cu>
at large sise. Wo also regretted lhat a garder
of Ibis size is nol safe from depredations, Mr
Wheeler being obliged to keep watchers during
tho night to save his peaches. This does not
speak well for that neighborhood.
And one thing more, which we regretted
than all else, was that Mr. Wheeler found
gain or pleasure in editing a political or partisan
paper, than in the cultivation and care of so 1
lifol a spot as we visited ; pecuniarily, we should
prefer the chance* at the Garden — the labor and
thc salitEicllon and tho reward must bo tbt
greater; for a choice, there would bo no com-
jwruon for us. However, "every ono to bis
taste"
The Farmer Paid For.
We sometimes think wo seo a different fuel-
ing expressed upon Iho countenances of our
friends when wo call upon them— those that
hare paid nnd tboso that hovo rtof paid— and it
is o fact, wo oftlimes jjujj tho rnnoh or form of
aomo who may bo indebted to us, lest thoy may
think wo como on a dunning errand vnly. Now
it is indeed most pleasant for us to call among
our subscribers, and talk of their plans nnd
hopes. Wo derive both pleasure and profit^
and it is unmixed with fears or suspicion, if one
great bugbear is out of tbo way. Now wo fed
