WHEAT. The season is now so far adj
vanced that n toerablc conjecture may he
formed rs TO the state of the wheat crop,
aud the effect produced upon it by the past
winter. From our limited observation, and
from what we have been able to learn from
VarioEs authentic sources, it appears that
what is called Western New York, which
is cnphalically the wheat district of the
State, the wheat has suffered TO an extent
quite equal to what was at first apprehend-
ed. The western counties extending to
Wayne and Seneca may expect medium
crop; in Wayne, Seneca, and CayDga
counties there is much wheat that promises
well, hut as II whole, it has been a good deal
thinned, aud many pieces entirely destroy
ed; while further east, in Onondaga, Os-
Wego, Madison, and Oneida counties, the
wheat has suffered still more extensively.
In the most favorable sections of Onondaga,
where The crops have rarely if ever failed
hut few first rate pieces are to be seen
while in the less favorable sections, hun
dreds ofacres have been entirely destroyed,
and have been ploughed up for spring
crops. The same remarks, but in greater
extent, are applicable to Madison and
Oneida.
But though the past winter has destroyed
much of the wheat, if what remains pro-
duces IN ordinary yield, there need be no
ola deficiency Of bread stuff.
There is at the present moment a vast
amount orwhout in the country of last years
harvest, greater perhaps than has often
heeu known, and farmers are in every see
lion inausriousy endeavoring by IN ex-
tended culture Of lhe coarser aud spring
grains, TO supply any apprcherded dcfcien-
y thar may arl,r from The effect Of the win

ANTI-SLAVERY CELEBRATION O

It is better TO weep with those who weell
than to rejoice with those who rejoice, oh

came up in solemn assembly, their heartsI
enobIed by the Christlille sentiment, Free

The services commenced with the hymnI
Of Montgomery, Hail to the Lords annon-
ted &c, sung by the full and harmonious
Choir Of the Pine Street Church.
Prayer ny Rev. Charles Fitch, pastor of
the Free Church. The Declaration of In
dependence was read by a. Walker, Esq:
and on its fundamental principle of tho
equality Of all men, Mr. Fitch based his
manly and noble Grafton. We had no re-
porter in the house, and are Therefore un-
able to give any sketch of it TO our readers,
bur VIC trust it will be published for the ed
iication both of the friends and foes of
our cause. A more faithful and complete
exposition Of the principles, and purposes,

the satisfaction of hearing The Orators

that love oi man, which II the only sufii-
cient evidence of love to God, and devotion

At this time when so many are tempted
not only to cast oil the fear Of God, bur
to restrain prayer before him-whcn it is
to be lamented, that of the numborlcss
orators of the day, few would dare to re-
memher the oppressed, it was truly re-
iieshing to hear the fearless emphasis with
which the second hymn was read

June. Col. Worthington, of Rensselaer, Co.
N. y. "sowed his peas on the 10th of June
six years in succession and bug has never
been seen in his peas"
Whereas his neighbors who have never
adopted this practice, have scarcely a pea
without bug in it. lie supposes the season
for deposiling the eggs of the pea is passed
before the peas are in flower."" The late
Col. Pickering likewise expressed an opin-
ion that the bugs might be avoided by late
sowing; lbut apprehended that the hot
sun in JunRwould so pinch the late sown
pas that the2crop will be small unless the
land he moist'as well as rich.
The quantity of seed, when peas are
sowod broad cast should be from a bushel
and half to three bushels TO the acre. 1t
is observed in Deans New England Farmer
that sour Farmers do not commonly allow
a sufficient quantity Of seed in broad cast
sowing. When Peas are sowed thin the
plants will lie upon the ground and perhaps
rot; when they are thick the plants will
hold each other up with their tendrils, for
ming complete web and will have benefit
of the air." Three bushels TO the acre are
recommended by DR. Deane.
Peas are sowed in drills, in field cultiva-
ton in this vicinity, with success. The
distance of the rows, and the distance
which the peas stand from each other in
Il c rows, depend on the kind of peas sown,
and the nature ofthe soil. Dwarf peas on
a poor soil, should be nearer together than
those which grow tall, and are set upon q
rich soil. Drilled peas are bowed two or
three times, should be earthed up little,
and kept free from weeds DIR Anderson
and other agricultural writers, say that limo
is the best manure for land which it is in
tended to SOW peas with.
1t has been practised by some to sow peas
for the purpose of feeding hogs, without
the trouble ocharvesting the crop. AS soon
ms the pods fill the hogs are turned in to
tarten, and what they do not consume is
ploughed in MS soon as the hogs have left
the field. " e. Farmer.

Singular CircumStance.-It has been

Field peas should generally he sowcd as
early in the spring us the ground can he

April or the first week in May will answer

that pens may be infested with bugs, it will
