The Editor Of the Salem (Wa.hing

llished 10 the nor,i, part Of the state,
makes the following humorous re-
marks on the first indication Of the
approach of spring:

reached this place in MIR. PostMas-

cause Of all this surmising at length
made It's appearance IN the shape OF
a little one-horse waggon.!! We adj

A TURN OUr.-The coloured peo-

the New York Times, and had "a
numerous and respectable meeting
They called one of their number to
the Chair, and moved that their pri-
ces of saving wood should here after
be increased. The motion was a.
Idopted without a dissenting voice,
and bill Of prices was accordingly
made out. They did their business
in a busneSs-iike manner. They did
not contend that wood was harder,
or that their saws were more liable
to wear out than formerly; but, II
was simply stated that the coloured
wood sawyers had to buy clothes
boots. hats, furniture, food, and fuel,
as we'll AS other people. and as the
prices of these things had ali been
raised, they were unable any longer
70 maintain themselves or their fam
lies, at the Old prices.
SHORT WHEAr.-This is something
of novelty in the way of grain. A
spondent of the American Far
ner has received letter from Ger
man gentleman IN the interior OF Penn
sylvania, who obtained from Polish
em,grant peck of this new variety
iof White Wheat-valued very highly
for its unrivalled beauty--its abun-
dant yield-great product of flour,
& ca pacity to withst adverse sea-
sons. These properties have been.
he says. exhibited in my recent crop
for while all the wheat IN my neigh
borhood. and the other kinds on my
farm. have been seriously affected
by the winter and the insect. this has
not suffered in the least from either
of these causes. and its weld IS nearly
twice as great as any other kind with
/ in nv knowledge. The grain Is
beautifully whi;e-the berry rather
short and very plump whence i, de-
rlves its nancy and II weighs Cd ID
lbs. per bushel. 1t is an important,
acquisition to this State and TO the
country at large. and should be wide
iy disseminated. HAcERsTows PArER.
