Two days after, Major Young, with

VARIOUS ITEMS OF NEWS.

SIZED THE 'PLouGH.--In the Legislature
OF Massachusetts, the committee on apri-
culture have reported bill to the House.
to encourage the production ofwheat in that
Commonwealth. 1t grants bounty of
two dollars to every person who shall raise
fifteen bushels Of well cleaned wheat. and
FIVE cents bushel for every bushel above
fifteen bushels; and to the person who shall
raise the greatest quantity of wheat on one
farm, (not less than FIVE hunderd bushels)
one hundred dollars. In Maine, and other
eastern States, we believe they have near
ly similar enactment. The system of boun-
ties seems to work much good; it encoura-
ggs many TO engage in agriculture, who
otherwise, perhaps, would not. In such a
vast country as ours, fast inceasing in pop-
ulation, ,husbandry ought 10 be the principal
occupation Of at least two thirds oGthe male
inhabitants. But if trade and commerce Of
fer greater opportunities Of acquiring wealth
and property, a large number of people
will direct their attention to them, and the
result will be in a measure the same as that
which has followed the abstraction of men
from agriculture pursuits for the last two or
three years, viz: pressure, overtrading, and
provision at enormous prices. Bounties
promote, too, the science of agriculture, lead
farmers to inquire for the causes OF certain
effects, the nature of various soils, the pro-
perties of different manures, and the mode
of producingsthe greatest quantity on the
smallest space and at the chepest rate.

THE LUMBERMAN's BANK.

We noticed last week the excitement at
Warren, and the appointment of commit
tee by public meeting, to investigate the
affairs of the institution. That committee,
in connection with the officers of the bank,
had not closed its operations on the Ist inst;
but SO far as they have pursued this inves-
tigatlon. there are eXpositions Of fraud and
corruption hatshould forever close the doors
of the Bank. The amount Of specie in the
vault is $50 IA, in copper coin--the amt.
given in the report of its officers last Nov'r.
was $o5,376 AZ. The cashier has resigned
his Office.
The committee, however, set down the
assets at $4,000 more than the liabilities,
and in the "Warren Bulletin of the 3Oth
ult. one George J. Chapel, who probably
has but few debtors, advertises that he will
receive its notes in payment Of debts due
him. Upon the whole, we think the bank
"a gone case" and we very much doubt
whether the holders OF its notes will receive
much value, unless to redeem their own pa
per. The assets are doubtless made up of the
valueIess mortgages alluded to last week, &c
consequently are mere paper statements,
without any foundation that will warrant
particle of confidence either in the report of
the committee or the solvency of the insti-
tuition.

RESUSCITATION

The son of our respected townsman, Mr..
John Arms, lad about nine years of age,
whilst playing along the wharves on the af-
ternoon of Tuesday last, fell into the Sus-
quehanna, and was carried along by the
force Of the current for considerable dis
tance before he was discovered by person
able to render assistance, and when seen &
taken out was completely black in the face,
and full, having the appearance ''to all in
tents and purposes" Of an individual who
had been drownded. We learn, however
that after he had been stripped Of his outer
garments, every effort was made to resus-
ciiaie the apparently inanimate body, Ly
rolling it in warm blankets, rubbing it with
brandy, &c. and that after having perseye-
red in this measure for about half an hour,
to the great relief ofth distressed parents
q the qualification of the many bystanders.
evidences of returning vitality appeared. -
In an hour from the time that the accident
occurred, the child was completely resto-
red.

fearful espousal of correct principles. This
comes very timely, gentlemen: il certain
ly merits our kindly feelings for your un-
deserved concentrations but notwithstan-
ding your solicitations 10 remain, under the
promise of increased exerions in our behalf.
we must conform with our oblipations-ace

positions, nor your needed patronage while
residents of Columbia County. We shall
never forget our friends, and while conduct
ing paper in another county of this Sena-
toriaI district, we shall occasionally kindle
the flame of friendship which may seem
partially expiring in the distance, and con-
vince our present patrons that though we
leave them we shall ever feel grateful for
their exertions in our behalf. But candor
requires us to state the reason for issuing
the proposals published in another column.
We are neither John Jacob Astor, nor IA
vored heirs of Stephen Girard. Our own
mental and bodily exertions are our only
dependence, and the long credit which
most of you seem to orequire, although COM
porting with our wishes, was discovered TO
be vitality injurious to our interests. This
cause, above all others, instgated the deter
minaiion to seek patronage in another quar-
ter. We confess that you have potronized
us well but of the $40 papers issued from
this Office, the credits attached to respective
NAMES appear like angels visits few
and far between" But we shall cease
grumbling. The mention of such facts
sometimes mends the ways of the faulty
and as we may probably get purchaser of
this establishment, equally capable with our
selves to sustain its reputation, we can only
wish him The present patronage, and a great
er degree of liberal punctuality, so much
needed in the commencement of country
periodical We can only hope for ourselves
that we may fare better with our contem-
plated establishment if we do not we shall
imagine that "the handwriting on the WALL
needs another Daniel to interpret its mean
ing, and better stuff than ourselves to sustain
It's oppressive operations. This will suffice
for the present, as we intend writing val
edictory when we issue our SD and con-
Guiding number.

it was decided to be law that a mechanic,

whole until he is paid for his labour. The
case was an action brought by Robert o.

after it became due they employed the plan
tiff to make up % coats, for which he was
