THE BAROMETER. To the husbandman
the barometer is of considerable use, by
aiding and correcting his prognostication Of
the weather drawn from local signs familiar
TO him; but Its great use as a weather glass
seems to be to the mariner, who roams over
the whole ocean, under skies and climates
altogether new to him. The watchfui
captain. at the present day, trusting to this
extraordinary monitor, is often enabled to
take IN sail and to make ready for the storm,
where, IN former times, the dreadful vista
ton would have fallen upon him unprepared.
The marine barometer has not yet been in
general use for many years, and the author
was one OF numerous crew who probably
owed their preservation to its almost MIRAGE
ulous- warning. 1t was in a southern lati-
tude. The sun had just set with placid
appearance after beautiful afternoon, and
the usual mirth Of the evening watch was
proceeding, when the captains order came
to prepare with all haste for storm. The
barometer had begun to fall with APPALLING

ing could withstand it; the sails already
furled and closely bound to the yards, were
rlven in tatters: even the bare yards and
masts were in great part disabled; and
at one time the rigging had nearly fallen by
the board. Such, for few hours, was the
mingled roar of the hurricane above, of the
waves around, and the incessant peals Of
thunder, that no human voice could be
heard, and, amidst the general consterna-
ton, even the trumpet sounded in vain. In

The marine barometer differs from the
common one, in having the tube contracted

prevent the sudden rising and falling of the

a dry sandy soil, under grass, in dry sea-

such circumstances, the crop was not bene-

very visible, and it continues for years. II

will hardly fail to discover its value. The
usual price is about ten cents per bushel.

A RAWDON BEAR.

On Thursday, the 18th inst. Mrs. Heney,
of Rawdon, heard two cows believing in a
park adjoining her house she instantly went
out and perceived that the cows were pur-
sued by ferocious bear. The bear soon
singled out one Of the cows as the object of
onslaught; the other finding herself freed
from immediate pursuit, fell into the rear,
and in turn gave chase to the pursuer Of her
companion, and when very near the enemy
made plunge at him with her head. This
attempt proved fatal to herself; the bear
taking advantage of her fall, turned and
sprung upon her back, where having fixed
himself, he began to regale himself with the
choicest flesh he could find. Mrs. Heney,
on seeing this, and with a courage that is
seldom met with, ran up to the bear and
pummelled him from his seat; he leaped
from his seat and pursued the lady, who
contriyed to evade him; upon this, he calm
" wiped his mouth upon log of wood. and
returned to the still PROSTATE COW, upon
whose carcase he had scarcely Recommend
ed his attacks, when he was again assailed
bv Mrs. II. She beat him off second time
"a second time she was pursued. She
cried for assistance, and six men came to
her aid with guns; but before they could
resolve among themselves who should have
the honour of shooting the bear, he relieved
them from the immediate necessity of de-
priving him of life, by scampering off. The
cow was dead before he left her. He went,
however, in search Of meal which he might
enjoy unmolested; for as Mr.. Heney was
returning home in the evening his attention
was attracted to field where heifer was
lowing most pitiously; on entering the field
hs perceived the hsifsr lying sn the ground,

GREEN CRoPs AS A MANURE. The ex-
pediency and profit of any particular method
to improve and enrich soil depend on cir
cumstances. We should suppose this sea-
son to be very favourable one for plough
ing in green crops. Old and worn out lands,
that usually produce but little grass, are
now richly covered. Let this be ploughed
in, and it will abundantly reward the farmer
another season, when it will be more wanted.

The communication Of "CRIsPIN & Co."
dated at Pawtucket, has been received, and
VIC must be permitted to say, that after consid-
cring the subject Of which it treats, We must
beg to be excused from publishing it. In our
opinion, no good could possibly result from its
publication. but on the contrary, il might give
rise to feelings and expressions, which we had
rather allay than engender. This, however.
is nothing but an opinion OF ours. which we
hope may meet the appreciation Of Crispin &
Co. But should il not, and they should insist
upon the publication of their essay, it will APP
pear hereafter.

pom .ibIe, than that of the editor of pub
lick Journal. Does he print two thousand

! and receiving instruction from the perusal
of his publication he has ten thousand minds
to improve, ten thousand fancies to amuse,
ten thousand fferent tastes to consult land
as many whims, caprices, g. prejud ices, to
conquer. What is food to the politician, is
poison to the philanthropist and what is
calculated to amuse the gay and frivolous,
| will offend the sober sense and mature judg-
ment of the man of thought and reflection.
