SONG 12.
Tho* Europe will worship some Idol in Chief,
And Nobles that stunting distinctions delight :
Such fashions to freemen are Jolly or grief—
Our worship is Union and Order and Right.
On the bigot of Rank and the despot of Rule,
High privileged orders enjoyment confer,
Uut men independent from Liberty’s school,
To honor* by heritage, rightly demur.
What soul that high freedom lias rendered
divine,
To courts for factitious distinctions e’er ran ?
t»ne virtuous moment enjoy’d at her shrine,
I» worth all me ages since Courtiers began'
Each charge and excess of old Europe we
m k,
What light have her Monarcus our ministers
given?
E nsmus, Lock, M l*.ou Si Luther—the il.rk,
2I.umoi*d by splendor, they borrowed from Hea
ven.
Stay ever, fair freedom, O ! spread for our
fvn't,
Th. trims that thy influence alohe can refine !
Confirm in our ; *-g on one treasure, at least,
Alorc piecsous than all that enriches the mine
Let millions on miliums lor centui its free,
From Monarchy’s grasp md Monopoly’s fleece.
Pluck fruits of ripe knowledge, from Liber
ty tree—
Art, science, g *od older and plenty and peace.
SONG 30.
Beware O'" the Tories who (ought t’ enslave,

Defeated, suppressed by K« publicans brave,
They rally to rule us once more.
The star of the land is our Freedom adoicd,
.iViih the tears of the (action ’tit, wet ;
But enougu of her worshippers wielding her
sword,
Remain to sn?.iU turpitude yet.
Republic ! when heroes cemented thy base,
Thy -code with tthehlood of her slain,
D id she ever foresee that a tool might dis
grace,
And tamper with freemen again ?
No !—Freedom whose rule we will never re

Go *ie'l tl-.* in . nders you shove :—
“ Repair to your golden Monarchical shrine,

Forget not the bund ttiat watch'd Liberty’s

Can im found, without tlie least .injury of the tree
If tlie nest be very high, tlie chargs; should be

Potatoes preferable to a Summer fail.re for
Wheat.
Extractor a letter front the ltev Samuel An«tin,
ot Worcester, to the Editor if the Medical and
Agricultural Register ; dated at Worcester,
February 24, 18U6.
“ There i* one species of husbandry, not in
general practice, in which 1 have made some cx
perimi tits with very i onsiderable success ; that
is fo substitute a cup of potatoes in the room of a
summer fallow* as a preparation for li'he.it
Wheat is doubtless the best and most proti.ahle
grain that can be raised. No species of vegeta
ble adds so much ornament to a country, anil
none a fiords a more essential or grateful p trt of
that aliment by winch human nature is preserv
ed. The potatoe also is a valuable foul. For
the horse it is an excellent and healthful substi
tute, for the green which lie crops in his summer
pasture, and stems nearly indispensable to be u
niled with liis dry winter fodder, to preserve
him fiom those diseases to which he is ao expos
ed in the cold season Every intelligent farmer
knows its value for feeding Iris swine, his sheep
and his cattle : and no crop is more sure or more
easily raised ; none is so plen'.itul Warm, loa
my land, and such is the greitts* part of this corn
monweaUh, well manured, willyiehl th ee, un
ified bushels to the acre. They may be taken u(l',
if planted in season, tty the iniddl of Septem
bt r, and the ground will be in the best situation
to put in immediately a crop of wheat. Tins is
altogether better than summer tallowing, and
the crop of potatoes is a clear saving 1 have '.n
this way, hail 25 bushels of most excellent win
ter wheat on the acre. I have now a piece of
land tinder wheat according to this mode of nit
uagemeiit, which is of s» promising an appear*
aiice as to br noticed with special attention by
my neighbors. The land ought to have an earl)’
ploughing, if under a binding sward, anil the po
tutoes should be hoed twice. If this mode of ag
rioiltiire should go into general practice, the
probability is that it would add materially to the
1 prosperity of our country

Incredible —On ttie 6ti. instant the Urge pond
in the north east part of Greenborough, in this
state, which formed the head of the river La
moille, burst its hounds, and carrying ruin and
d struction in its course, emptied itself into lake
Mempremagog, a distance of about 25 miles —
The particulars are as follows ;—The pond,
which w;'.s about 2 12 mil- s ih length, 1 nnle in
breadth, and 10ft leet in depth, was situated on
the Green Mountain, considerably highei than
the surrounding country About forty rods dis
lant vas another smaller pond, on the outlet of
which stood a number ot mills. The perpendic
i ular height ol the former above the latter was
j about 100 feel. It had long been contemplated
to m; ke a communication between them, in the
expectation that it would greatly benefit the mdls
below the small pond On the day above men
tionc d, a number of the inhabitants of Wlieelock,
Sheffield, Glover, and B irtoh, met for the pur
pose of digging a channel, anil commenced their
operations on the brow of descent, a few n ds
from the large pond Tilt y soon finished a chan
nel 5 or 6 feet in depth. As their channel filled,
1 the ground, which was composed ofa kind of
I quick sand, began to sink, &. the increasing pres
sure soon produced a vast chasm of upwards of
100 feet in depth, and 18 oP 20 rods in width ;
the water issued from the pond with such dread
ful impetuosity, that it was completely drained in
one hour. The sinking of the ground was so
sudden, that the workmen, who precipitately re
treated, hud scarce time to save themselves ; one
tunk five or six feet, but was fortunate enough to
extricate himself by catching hold of the root of a
tree. The water lushed into the lower pond,
..nd thence proceeded through a forest of heavy
limber, six miles, to Barton river, canytng oft’e
very tiling it met, and tearing up the toil It
then look the course of Barton river, when it
piocectied With the same devastation till itar
r.ved at lake Mempremagcg :—Although the
ountry through which it passed is but thinly
s P eil, yet the dam ige sustained is immense —
F-rms winch lay on the banks of the B »rlon Hi
ver, were covered 10 or 12 feet, with stone, tim
bar and earth, and their owners left in a si ite of
consternation and despair Two saw mills, a
gr st m il, blacksmith's shop, five bridges, a
horse, and a la. ge number of sheep, S»c were
swept into the lake
1 lie »cene it presented was awful Wlmt must
have been the sent<tions, pr duced by the s'glit
of a column » f water, of a number of milas in
length, and 30 tods in width, filled with trees
and earth, and rushing with Itori id crush and
ihiindci ing sound ; fi ling op the vallies and level
ling Iht lulls in its course ! Trie earth for many
miles around trembled beneath the load. The
noise was lo nrd at a gicat distance ; the inhab
itunts rcsidii g on Union river, in the first mo
merits of surprise, supposed it to be distant tliun
der ; but tbe tdnudh-ss sky soon convinced them
of their error, and the emu-easing sound present
ed to their aff, :gt ted im imitations, the idira of an
cat'll qii.>ke, but the ne in r approach of the wa
ter di.v ovcied the i< al ly, but then, alike igno
