J SIGxs OF A Coon FARMER. His corn land |
is ploughed in the Fall. He seldom let's his
work drive him. Has cooking stove with
plenty of pipe to it. The wood lots he pos
sesses are fenced. His sled is housed in summer,
and his cart, ploughs and wheel barrow, winter
/ and summer, when not in use has as many
yoke of good oxen as he has horses-Does not
/ feed his hogs with whole grain-Lghts may
be seen IN his house before break Of day in
winter-Elis hog pen is boarded inside and out
has plenty of weeds and mud in his yard IN
the fall-AIl his manure is carried out from his
buildings and barn yard twice in the year, and
chip manure once a year-His cattle are al
most all tied up in the winter-He begins to
find out that manure put on land in green
state is the most pro6table-Rases three times
] as many turnps and potatoes for his stock
!, as he does for his famIly-Has good ladder
raised against the roof of his house-Has more
lamps in his house than candlestcks-Has
house on purpose to keep his ashes in, and an
iron or tin vessel to take them up-He has
/ large barn and small house-seldom has more
pigs than cows-adjOining his hog pen he has
a hole TO put weede and sods, and makes three
loads of best manure from every old hog and
two from every pig. A good farmer in this
country begins to find out that steaming vege-
tables can be done at one third the expense of
boillng-and that Mangel Wurtzel, Millet, AL
tringham Carrot, and Ruta Baga are things
worth thinking Ollie fences before he poughs,
and manures before he sows-He deals more for
cash than credit.
CHURCHES The Editor of the Christian
Watchman," says the Vermont Chronicle, dis
likes the practice of calling meeting houses,
churches - We never call them so. Let him
join US, in defiance Of fashion. In due time,
third may be expected to understand the sub
jeet, and so on, till reformation is effected
This we wish, first, from regard to our be-
loved English language: which is needlessy
Injured by using word in two senses, when
we have another to express one of them and
secondly, because the doctrine that a church is
" spiritual building" composed of !" living
stones,' is an important religious principle,
and an abuse of the ,COrd is closely connected
; with forgettulness of that principle.
! Coon EXAMPLE. The Governor of Massa-
chusetts, LEVI LINCOLN, who resides in Wor-
cester, was politely invited by the Committee
of Arrangements OF the Mechanic Association,
to participate with them in their triennial cele-
bration on the 9TH inst. He very courteously
declined the invitation, from the fact that the
Bible Society of Worcester County, of which
he was the presiding officer, would hold its
/, meeting on the same day. Whilst would
give all due praise to the respectful attention
: of the Committee TO the Chief Magistrate OF
our Commonwealth, we would avail ourselves
of the occurrence alluded to, for the purpose OF
expressing our peculiar pleasure in the decided
manner in which the Governor names tho su.
n peror claims of the Bible Society to his atten.
: ton and presence. Such evidences IN the con.
duct and disposition of our rulers Of voluntary
D homage to revealed religion, deserve the CRATE
full, the respectful notice of their constituents

MENTAL SLAVERY. The National Inteili
Il gencer says, that GO not q single clerk or other
> subordinate officer of the government at Wash
ingtOn, dare open his mouth against the ad
: mnstration for fear of losing his office; that
they preserve the most guarded caution. moi
only in public, but even in the social circle, les
some tale bearer should inform the head of De-
partment, or the Jackson Central Commit
e tee," of which Duff Green is a leading mem
Der; and even the relatives of clerks habitualy
7 suppress their sentiments, lest the vengeance
u which cannot reach them, should be directed al
cousin or a brother in law, who holds an of
fee. Such is the petty tyranny which prevail.
at Washington. Under Mr.. Adams there wa.
the most perfect freedom of opinion for all the
officers of government Some of them were

It removed nor threatened with a removal" Thus
n the tyranny of our Bourbons is worse than thai
d of Charles x and POlignac in France They
e allowed the liberty of speech, and attempted
a only to suppress that of the press-they re-
: moved from office only such voted against

g NULLIFIcATIoN. The North American Re
! view contains letter from Elk President Mad
son, on the subject of the /" multiplying doctrine,
written in August last He appears to write
2 with as much clearness and force as he did forty
= years ago, when with Hamilton and Jay he
wrote the " The Federalist." He fully sustaini
Mr. Webster in the ground he took last Winter
a in the Great Debate, and makes the doctrines
i of the Nullifers appear, if possible more ride
IS ulous than Mr.. Webster did His testimony il
II the more valuable in this case, inasmuch al
Q Messrs. Hayne, Hamilton and other leading
d Nuifers, quote the Virginia Resolutions, al
e they are called, as their principal authority
o These resolutions were written by Mr. Madi
II son, and adopted by the Virginia Legislator,
d in 1889, against the Alien and Sedtion laws
G Mr.. Madison denies that those resolutions bea
e any such construction the Nullifers have
o given to them.
1t will be remembered that in the warm con
e tested election for Governor in New Hampshire
# last spring, very severe accusations were mad,
It in the New Hampshire Patriot, of which Hill
" and Barton were proprietors, against Gen
4 Upham. The General brought a suit apains
! them for libel, which was tried last week al
e Portsmouth before c. C. Pleas 1t commenc
o ed on Wednesday, and ended on Saturday
N when the jury stated to the Court they coulc
II not agree, and were dismissed Certain PAPER
produced by the defendants to establish tn,
charges against Gen. Upham, were declared
:, to be t0rgeTteS, and which the defendants en-
= deavoTed to prove were genuine. 1t is stated
e there appeared to be no doubt, from out dool
4 talk, who committed the forgeries.
