Timber for POsts.-A writer in the FAR

timber for all posts which are to be inserted
in the ground, and relates several expert
men,s showing that they are much more

placing the small or top end of timber I'm

doubt the change will be for the better
The new city government, Mayor and AL
dermen were at their posts till two o'clock
this morning, every arrangement was made
by them TO put down any mob should there
be any rio,ngs. The watch was doubled
and the military were under arms, but for
tunately there was no disturbance to require
any interference of eiIherthe civil officers or
military required.
1t is well known that by the Law, if a
Bank does not resume specie payments in
ninety days, their charters are forfeited. 1t
is believed that the Legislature are now
ready to grant the indulgence that may be
required. 1t is the opinion of all in,eli-
gent citizens that all, or nearly all, the Safe.
ty Fund Banks must follow the example of
the city Banks. This will make il abso-
lu,ely necessary that law should be passed
to shield the Banks
Great inconvenience will be felt for the
want OF small change, and there is no other
mode to relieve the public, than BY the re-
peal Of the Law, prohibiting smal! notes.
A Law to this effect would correct this evil
ut once.
Stocks have gone up wonderfully today.
This certainly shows u much better state
of feeling.

ln consequence whereof an OVERLOOKING
meeting assembled at the hour named, when
on motion. the officers OF the meeting
were appointed
Jane G. King then presented himself to
the meeting. and having read the call, which
he enforced by brief and pertinent ad
dress. moved the following resolutions
which were seconded by Nathanisl Prime,
and unanimously adopted.
WHEREAs-At a meeting last evening OF
all the Banks in the city except three, il
was
Resolred That under existing circum-
stances, II is expedient and necessary TO sus-
pend payments in specie.
In the mean time, the notes Of all the
Banks will be received at the dfferen, Banks,
as usual, in payment OF debts, and in de.
posite and, as the Indebtedness of the
community to the Banks. exceeds three
times The amount of their liabilities TO the
public. it is hoped and expected that the
notes Of the different Banks will pass current,
as usual, and that The state OF the times will
soon be such as to render the resumption of
specie payments practicable.
Resolred, That, relying upon the above
statement-we have full confidence in the
ultimate ability in the banks of this city, 10
REDEEM all their notes and bils-and that
we ourselves, continue to receive and we
recommend to all our citizens to receive
them as heretofore
Resoloed, That in an emergency like
this, 1t is alike the duty of patriotism & self
TO abstain from all measures tending
to aggrayale existing evils, and by mutual
iorbearance and mutual aid, to mitigate, so
far as practicable, the present difficulties,
and thus most effectually 10 assist in the res.
toratlon of specie payments.
These resolutions were put singly. and

From the Keene Sentinel.

Mr.. Prentiss.-As it is now about time 20
think OF sowing Wheat, will state the meth.
cd have followed for more than twenty years
past to raise wheat. In the first place, in the
Winter of 1920, went to Vermont, and there
purchased three different kinds of wheat In
the spring following, sowed of each kind one
hall bushe, on the same field, which was SINH
lar in quantity and quality of soil. That seed
which did the best was said TO have been rais-
ca IN Colchester in Vermont, from which Sc
lected my seed which have sowed every wear
since-having had within the time three other
different kinds Of wheat, which have sowed
some two or three years, but finding none to do
so well as the Colchester wheat, have contin-
ued to sow of that to the present time, and do
not know but it does as well now as at first.
In preparing my wheat Tor sowing, | take
tub that will hold Tor pailfuls, ill il with wa
ter so that half bushe Of wheat will make the
water run over, or nearly so. Then winnow
half bushel of wheat into the water by which
time most of the foul seed will rise and run Off
or may be skinned off; then drain the tub of
water and fill il again with the wheat in, and
while the wheat is agitated with the water.
stirring, turn quickly off the second quantity of
water, with what rises between the surface of
the water and the good grain below. In this
way you may clear your seed from almost all
It's impurities. Perhaps a few kernels of GOOD
grain may in draining off the water, rise 10 The
surface, which the smallest touch will settle 10
the good wheat below. After the wheat X
sufficiently drained Of water the second time. I
mix Stacked lime or ashes in sufficient quantity
to make the wheat dry enough to sow. Sow
II the same day or within three days, as YOU
please. have sometimes put half bushei of
asnes to one bushel Of wheat, which answers
the same purpose as lime. Forty quarts of
wheat are as much as generally sow on one
acre. do not know that have ever seen
smutty kernel, or had blasted crop within the
time above stated. | do not recolect having
raised more than % bushels from sowing one
bushel, nor less than / 2 from the same o1anti-
ty of seed. ! have raised 80 bushels from one
and half bushels from the last years crop,
winch was ~ l-2 bushels from 40 quarts sow
bolted at our best Touring mills, from one
bushel, after being tolled.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC IN RELA

was resolved. that under existing circum.

Indebtedness of the community to the banks
exceeds three times the amount Of their LA

ed that the notes of the different Banks will
pass current as usual, and that the state OF
the times will soon be such as TO render the

From the Boston Patriot Of May IL.
Suspension of Specie Payments
of the Boston Banks.

TIE BANKS OF THIS CITY.-In consequence
of the intelligence Of the suspension of Specie
payments, by the Banks of New York, receiy-
ed here yesterday, the banks of this city and vi
cinity were requested to send delegates to a
meeting to be held at the Hall Of the fremont
Bank, at half past O'Clock last evening, TO
consider what course it is expedient for those
institutions to adopt in the present emergency.
The meeting was accordingly held, consisting
partly Of delegates specially appointed by their
respective boards of directors, and partly of di-
rectors or officers of banks not specially author
lied to bind their institutions Ia any course OF
measures. More than forty banks of this city,
Salem, Charlestown, Cambridge, Roxbury,
Lowell and Concord, including all in this city,
except three, Were represented. IL was resolv-
ed, by the unanimous assent of all the dele
gates present who felt authorized TO act, to sus-
pend the further payment Of Specie for the
present, in the redemption of their bills, or the
discharge of other obligations.
This measure was regarded by those gentle
men who expressed their views upon il, as one
OF inevitable necessity, in consequence of what
has taken place in New York, and NAV be an
ticipated in other places. A confident opinion
was expressed that the hanks of Massachusetts,
were amply able 10 continue payments in spe-
Gle, had those in New York continued. Some
Of the banks in this city, have two ar three dol
lars in specie for every dollar of their circula-
ton, but with the demand on their depositcs,
as well as the return Of their notes, which the
suspension in New York win produce, it would
be impractcable for most, if not all of them to
provide.
A communication was received from a CON-
mittee, appointed by the meeting held at Fam
euil Hall, expressing the sense of that meet
ing, that the measure proposed, ifdeemed ne
cessary by the delegates Of the banks, would
meet the concurrence of the community, and
declaring the confidence of the meeting in the
banks. Ii is anticipated that the notes of all
the banks will continue To be received az hsyy-
toiore in all payments to the banks, and be-
tween individuals.
