MURDER.-On the 18th ult., Mr.. Post, who keeps
large livery stable at the foot of Murray street, was
driving homeward from Manhattanve. About miles
from the village, they came up with sleigh loaded
with ice driven by Irishmen, Whose names we are
at present forbidden TO mention) Mr.. Post who was
driving, requested them TO give him part Of the road,
that he might pass They replied with very abusive
and nsolent language Mr.. Post then drove up along
side, and his company, consisting of four persons jump
ed out, while Mr.. p. remained in the sleigh. Some
high words passed between the Irishmen and Mr..
Posts company, when the Irishmen unshpped the
whe trees Of their sleigh and instead of attacking the
company, made for Mr. Post who standing in the
sleigh and endeavourng to get his company get in
Mr. Post seeing Of the lrshmen about strike him
with the whifie tree, struck his horses, and as they
started the struck him erthe temple and knocked
him senseess. The horses away, and Mr.. Posts
company left the Irshmen and in pursuit of him.

in vain. The Irishmen have net been arrested and il

Private Correspondence.l

WASHINGTON, Jan. 70, 1886.
Family quarrels of all others, the most bitter and
unrelentns, and quarrel of ikis is going on f
riously in the House of Representatives. Adams's
speech against Webster, promulgated recently in the
official Journal, 1.-THE Globe has reused the hostility
oil many OF Mr. Adams's old friends and associates
Mr. Hardins speech in reply to him, to-day, was ono
of the worst specimens Of skinning that ever was seen
The old gentleman iurned all colors-he put on ssr
donic grn-but his lips quivered, and his face was
cramped under the infection. Many of the most ardent
OF the ExPresilents quondam admirers have risen in
succession, and denounced him in the bterest terms
There must be end the debate before the end of
the week. for, after Monday next the House has bound
itself to prosecute, without nermisson the appropria
ton bills. The previous question must be resorted to-
in order to stop it, Three four dozen speeches are
now all cut and dried, like Adams's resolution and
speech, ready to he let off the first opportunity
Some twenty members standing with their face to
the Chair and their hands resting their tables ready
to spring the moment the Kentuckan yields the floor
Sometimes, when he pauses to take drink of water,
they all go off at half cock and clamor for the floor
Whatever may be the result there is no probability that
il will make Mr. Webster President, or give Johnny O.
the other four years Of his of service as President
which he claims as due to him. The House becomes
and more factisus every moment and the Senate
too. This is the eighth week Of the session. and not
only has business been DONE but none has been ar
tempted to be done.
Little Grams followed Mr.. Hardin and rowed John
Quincy up salt river. He left nothing of him but an
object of deision to his enemies, and of melancholy
pity to his frends.'
The war panic has pretty much subsidized, and il is
doubtful whether the administration is in earnest in
urging the appropriation Of the surplus revenue for the
public defence. The idea OF war is secuted BY many
gentlemen high in the confidence Of the President and
by some Of the members of the Cabinet themselves
One of ourN Navy Commissioners remarks very justly

we can stand il for three years, shall do WELL In

gess, and take proper steps for renewing the efficiency
and independence Of the SAME"
There is no doubt but that the Dispatches by the

BLACK SEA SPRING WHEAT.
FRIEND COOKE At the close of the
ingathering Of our hay and English Gram
crops, l with pleasure, seize few mo-
ments to pen few reflections on the val
ue and culture of wheat in the New Eng
land States. i The reason for choosing
the wheat crop as my theme, are, first,
that by careful attention to it's culture,
much of our motley might be kept within
our borders, which now goes to the South
and West for theI purchase OF -four 'sec-
ondly, that if we take 10 or Is seasons in
succession, we shall find balance in prof.
it to be placed to the credit of the wheat
crop over all other grain.
In giving some proof ofthe above facts,
Will state, that some 2 or Is years since,
obtained of the Hon. P. c.. Brooks two
bushels Of spring wheat bearing the
name g Gilman" The product from this
was about 25 bushels, for which receiv-
ed the Massachusetts Agricultural Soeie-

OF spring wheat from one acre" This
kind ofwheatdid well, generally, during

the straw, however. was not Of sufficient
strength for rich lards.-crippling down
with the first thunder-gust, and of course
would not fll, or kernel well afterwards.
From the Gilman wheat, the largest crop
obtained byme from one acre, was 80 IA
bushels, believe, flor speak only from
recollection.)
| Several years since, was fortunate in
receiving, 10y the kindness Of my brother,
Capt. Stephen Williams some superior
seed wheat, from Smyrna, grown on the
abundant borders of the Black Sea. At
ter the FIRST year, this kind of wheat has
been unparalleled in its value, SO far,as [
have been made. acquainted. Three

BEET SUGAR.

Though most farmers are slow to be-
lieve they can make as much sugar, and
of as good a quality, from an acre Of land
in New England in beet as planter can
from an acre in the West Indies 10 cane
yet such is the fact, as established by the
most accurate experiments. In our last
number we made copious extracts from
the correspondence of Mr. Pedder, the
agent of the Sugar Beet Society of Phil
adelphia, showing its practicabi.ity in this
country, and urging MS introduction, as a
great national object. We have since
seen several specimens of sugar, manu-
featured by him and sent home for exhi-
bition, which will not suffer in conpari-
son with the best West India or New Or
leans sugar in market.
From the letters of Mr. Peddcr Il NAV
| be inferred, that the process OF extracting
| the sugar from the root is an expansive
operation, requiring the aid of complex
and cost machinery, and an investment
of capital beyond the means OF ordinary
farmers,-but such is neither the fact nor
the idea he means to communicate Il is
true, in the large sugar establishments in
france, expensive machinery and fixtures
are employed, which doubtless facilitate
their operations, and yield liberal re-
turn for the money invested in their con
struction; but they are not indispensable
to the successful pursuit ofthe business, or
even adapted to the circumstances and
wants of farmer who merely manufac-
lures his own sugar. Farm establish
ments are already in profitable operation
in France. and the Royal and Central So
ciety Of Agriculture have offered pre-
miums for models of the most simple and
cheap machinery for the use of small far
mers. A silver medal has already been
awarded by the committee to M. Jean
Joseph Lecerf of Valenciennes, OF the de-
partment of the North. This gentleman
is the farmer referred to by by Mr.. Pedder,
as "a curious man residing on one of the
back streets. who had made sugar with
machinery of his own invention, and al
most BY the labor of his own hands,
The committee in awarding the premi-
