TaE SEASON, thus far, has been one Of the

streams have been SO low, that but few mills
can grind; and many manufacturing establish

orally supposed that there would not be half
the usual crop of hay, and in some places it
promises still less. 4 storm, however, com

will not prove too late to revive the Geids cs-

The writer then refers TO the pro-
ceedngs in the Senate--the angry and
stormy debate in secret session-and the
report of Mr.. Benton regulating Execu-
tive patronage, the latter of which will
be fertile subject for defamation. de-
nunciation, and invective, during the
next session should it be called up. The
review concludes as follows -
the amendment made by the Sen
ate in the Judicial bill, was fatal to that
measure.-The course which that body
took, in the first instance, by adher;ae to
IT'S amendment, and refusing the request
OF the other House for conference.
was considered by them disrespectful,
and had no small influence in decidins
the fate Of the bill.
The other measures which were
before the Senate. were of 4 subordinate
character; and an immense mass of bills

nary extent TO which the mania of

FODDER. The prospect of very light crops
Of hay, will induce the careful farmer TO pro-
vide some substitute for the sustcnauce Of his
stock through the winter--for this purpose no
time is now.to be lost. We have extracted
the suhjoincd article from the Nlerrimack
Journal, believing that the plan therein re-
commended, is probably The best that can DC
adopted.

To FARuERs.-As the drought has
been severe in this vicinity, and extern
sively in thr country, and the prospect
for crop of hay very unpromising, it
is important in some way to make up
the deficiency have observed that
many fields, that were stocked down last
season, are destitute of clover and the
grass very thin, the grass having been
destroyed by the dry weather last Au-
gust. would recommend to my broth
er farmers, TO take up some of the fields
which will produce little or nothing,
and sow them with millet. If sown any
time in this month, it will probably be
forward enough to be secured before
frost comes, and will yield from one to
three tons Of good fodder to the acre.

BY Mrs. CAREY, authoress of " Lasting I'M
pressions," a celebrated novel, lately pub
lished in London.
When Baldwin first wood, said No, confess,
Because had heard people say,
That the men were so nice, if too soon we said
Yes,
They with scorn would our frankness repay,
So / blush'd and look'd down
Nav endcavoured to frown,
And cr"d--"Go! you but mean to deceive me-
But he smil'd when said
That meier meant to we'd,
And protested he did not believe me.
Then next he renew'd his confession of truth,
tried, but in vain, to say No;
For thought it pity to frown on the youth,
When smile could such pleasure bestow,
So / held out my hand
But said, spray understand
Thereafter you slight or deceive me,
Though sorry to part,

Dr. Macnab then proceeds, in Illustration
of his position, to relate the following:
1.-THE danger to which the elegant lady
Russell was exposed, is too we'll known, both
in France and England, to require details
She remained seven days and nights with
out any sign of life, aud her interment was
only deferred on account of the violent grlef
which lord Russell experienced at the idea
of being separated from beloved wife. On
the eighth day, as the parish bell was toll
ing for church, lady Russell suddenly raised
her head, and to the amazement and indes-
cribable 10y of her husband, told him to get
ready to accompany her to church. Her re-
covery was rapid and complete, and she llv.
ed many years afterwards, to render her lord
the father of family"
The second instance is related by the &C"
lebrated Oder of Geneva, in these words :
81 knew a girl twenty five years old nam
ed Eliza Roy, who narrowly escaped being
buried alive. She lived at Il distance OF two
| leagues from Geneva. For some years she
had been subject to nervous attacks, winch
frequently deprived her of every appear
ance of lite but after the lapse OF a few
hours, she would recover and resume her
occupations, as if nothing had happened
| On one occasion, however, the suspension OF
her faculties was SO protracted, that her
/ friends called medical man of the neigh
borhood who pronounced her dead She
was then sown up in a close shroud, ac-
cording to the barbarous custom OF the
country, and laid upon the bed-stead. A.
mongst those who called to condoe with
the parents, was particular friend OF the
supposed deceased, Of her own age. The
young woman, anxious to take a last look at
her friend, unripped the shroud and nm
printed kiss on her cheeks, Whist she
was kissing her, she fancied thas She ielt ner
breathe She repeated her carcsses. and
being shortly assured OF the fact of her friend
not being dead, she applied her mouth 70
that of the girl, and IN short time the
latter was able to dress herself"

PREMATURE INTERMENT OF THE
DEAD

Several attempts have lately been made
by the English in France, to rouse the atten-
tion of the French government to this SUBJ
ject. and to produce a total change in the
system. Their endeavors, However. do not
appear to be attended with success, and com
plants are made in England that those hu-
name applications have been treated with a
GOODNESS bordering on incivlity DR.. Mac
nab, Scotch physician who had resided in
France for many years, is stated to have
made some spirited exertlons on the subject,
during the ministry of M. De Cazes, and IT
is mentioned as circumstance creditable to
that gentleman, that his conduct was an eX-
ception to that observed by his predecessors
and successors, the present minister's
lust as M De Cazes was about to propose
an alteration in the French law of burials

rial of DIR. Macnab has been since published
IN England. 1t is an interesting document
and as we have perused it with some atten-
tention, we presume the following brief ex-
tracts will be acceptable to- our readers.
