Farmers in Europe, and in this country

Speed the pIough.-The New York
Commercial states, that at the last meeting
oflhe Amer'n Institute, it was resolved that
the pIoughs in possession of the Institute,
should be tes;ed in public manner, and un-
der the inspection of farmers, selected for
their practical skill in husban3ry; and a
committee was appointed to fix on time
and select proper place-who reported
in favor of Gen. Jeremiah Johnson's farm
on Long Island as the place, and Friday,
the % h day of April, as the the time when
the decision will be made respecting the
merits of the, different ploughs. 1t Ger.
tainly is important that the kind Of plough
best adapted in its construction TO the use
Of the farmer, should be general known.

ton, which describes circle Of light of
about thirty feet in diameter, of the appa.

iects within its sphere as distinctly as on

erected at The head of the inclined plane
in St. Leonard's depot. lis object is to en-
able the engine-men to have distinct view
of the inclined rones during the night, and
this has been fully attained. The lamp
consists of an Argand burner, placed in
the focus of large speculum, Of a pccul-
lar form, by which the whole light is dis.
tributed just on the space where i; is requir.
ed. 1t is compued that the light on the
above space is equal to that of twenty five
or thirty similar burners in common lamps.

would be successful for otherpurposas. 1t

Intelligent Jury.-Rex VS.. Anthony
Gibson. At the late assizes held in &

ed with cutting & manning William Joplin
with an intent to do him some grievou:
bodily harm. The prosecutor appeared
and produced the shovel with which he hac
been injured. The jury, after consulting a
quarter of an hour, returned with verdict
of manslaughter, although the prosecutor
was standing in front of them, with the
shovel in his hand. The Judge said the
ycrdc, amounted to an acqulttal, and dis
missed the jury forthwith. The court was
conyulscd in laughter, in which he Judge
heartily joined.

the shore where the boys caught 1t. lhey

tor for a week, when it died. 1t has been
immersed in rum for preservation. The
Bulletin in describing this singular animal
says, the strange crea ure IS about seven
inches long, of slate color, and about an
inch and a half in circumference. The
head and body are those of an eel, the
tail terminating in fin. Immediately be-
hind the eyes, are lateral formations sup;
posed to be intended for fins; they extended
ont about an inch, and are divided into
distinc, branches, resembling in miniature
those of a limb stripped of its foliage.
About an inch behind these fins, are sltuat.

the ants came from the high grounds, a
