1t is said by Arthur. Young, that 'tI1e
best food for fattening cattle is parsnipss
next carrots; then comes cabbage, pota-
toes and turnips. Iia farmer has a due
provision Of these plants, with good hay
for cutting INTO chaH with straw, he will
hot find grain and oil cake profitable UNI

grain oil cake very cheap. Whatever
the food, i, cannot be too often re-eotcl.i,
that small quantities arc 10 be given al
atT.c; thattroughs, cribs, SC. are to BIZ
kept very clean, and that litter must be-
plentiful, that the beasts have clean
hides and warm BEDS
Parsnips for field culture have been ne.
elected i'll this country, though highly
appreciated as a field crop in many parts
OF Europe. Fhc seeds according to
some English writer's, are best sown in
autumn by which means they will APP
: pear early in the following spring.
"frosts,' says writer in Monks Agrf-
cultural Dictionary, ''nevcr effect HE
seeds, nor do the young plants ever sut-
Ter from the severity OF the seasons
Not only on this ground, but for many
other reasons, autumn is .llrefprable to-
spring sowing, as the weeds at this lat
ter time will keep pace with the parsnips
and often when they are hoed or cleared
a great part Of the crop is pulled up, cut
out, or otherwise destroyed, as (when
sown In spring. they are so small when
they first appear not easily to be distin-
gulshed from the weeds. If no rain fall
at that season some of the seeds will
not vegltate, till late in summer; and the
lew plants which do appear will scarce
y pay for the expense of cleaning them.
BESIDES they will never grow to any size
J but be sickly or cankered, and conse-.
quently will be destitute of nutrimental
juice; while on the contrary, those who
are sown in autumn will be large"

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.


DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.
We have the following statement from
gentleman who visited the scene of the awful
occurrence which it describes, the morning
after it took place,
A respectable citizen of Hampshire coun-
ty, Va. of the name Of .9rnoid, who carried
on the business oftanner, had been down to
Alexandria to sell load of leather, was re-
turning on Thursday, the 25th inst travelling
on horseback by the stage road, when about
ten miles below Aide, in Loudoun county
the appearance OF a heavy cloud warned him
to seek shelter for himself and horse. He
accordingly rode up t. a stable at the side of
| the road, where the stage stopped to change
horses and having obtained permission of the
stage driver, put his horse into one of the
stalls The driver at this time had the four
stage horses out before the door-thrce of
them were in cluster, and few PAGES from
the door, the fourth was detached a little
distant from the resi-, Mr.. Arnold was stan
ding in the stable door, calmly viewing the
Threatening cloud as it thickened and rolled
over head, flashing aid roaring in awful and

cended upon the stable, rending it from the
ridge pole to the sill: Mr.. Arnold was struck
dead, the three horses nearest the stabl,
} t,oor were killed, and the driver knocked
| down and so stunned that he remained for ;
time insensible--Ms life zvas evideasly hyc
se,ved by Tie accidental circumstance. of hi
| haUing a silk handkerchief in the ero7vn q
his nat. Our informant saw the hat an1
: handkerchief: the rim and the top Of the ha
+, were severed from the crown, a large piec,
e taken out of the latter; the several piece
> were cut asunder as neatly as if it had beef
2 done with a sharp instrument. The hand
:, kerchefw was scared or scorched, asif red
; hot IRON had been passed quickly over it. J
t of the drivers cheeks, but whether from tn
;. lightning or not was uncertain; besides thi
{. there was not the slightest appearance of it
: effects on any part ofhs body. He was en-
s tirey free from any pain about the hea,
though he. complained of soreness in hi
breast.
