an Spring Wheat, for seed, 10 rs many
individuals in this county, and also about
the same number of parcels to different
individuals in each Of the counties OF
Cuyahoga, Medina, and Lorain. This
wheat is superior to our own, and the
object of Mr.. Allen is, to introduce the
cultivation of it into his district. The
Wheat was put up in small bags, weigh-
ing three or four ounces each, franked,
as is usual in such cases, by the Clerk
of the House of Representatives, as
Public Documents, and transmitted to
Mr.. Aliens constituents, through the
mail, as the only safe and feasible mode
Of distributing it prior to the Spring
seeding. This circumstance has been
duly and enthusiastically noticed, not
only by the Van Buren, Postmasters and
editors in this district, but also by an or.
gan of that party in the city of N. York.

having any reference to the agricultural
interests of the country. Indeed. in
these documents they are taught tha,
"all communities are apt to look to gov

paramount duty Of the government to
provide good currency for ITSELF and
to keep that currency safely from the

portant TO observe. that Longwith was
a man with whom be had scarcely ever
seen, and who lived twenty miles of.
| His wife told him to think no more about
LII, but to go to sleep. He did SO, but
again awoke from the effects ofthe same
dream. He resolved TO SET out for Bol-
ton instantly, and apply for warrant
against Longwith. He did SO but the
magistrate to whom he applied refused
to take-it on such evidence. He retired
in modification. As be was passing
through the market-place, he met Long
with, with whom he Immediately desired
to go TO public house with him to near
something he had to communicate
There locking the door, he at once
charged Longwith with the murder.
The man was seized with all the disor-
der of guilt, and family denied the ac-
cusation. In his confession he said ho
was innocent, for he did not strike the
blow. Then you know who did, re-
piled the friend Of the murdered man
and the man was taken up and examined.
He prevaricated in his statement, and
was remanded for three days, at the end
of which, after many hours prayer, he
confessed that he had been induced to
join three men in robbing expedition;
meeting Horrocks, who made some re-
sistence, his companions murdered him.
This confession came out before tho
grand jury, and upon it Longwith was
brought to trial. The dream, and every
thing supernatural, was of course not
offered in evidence. 'Iwas at the trial.

be interesting to know, however. wheth-

was nothing to contradict it, II was what

is believed that the interest and prosper
ity of the people are closely identified
with that of the honest and well reguIa-
ted banks, and that in times of pecuniary
embarrassment and distress, it is their
true policy and for their mutual benefit
to>sustain each other by all the means in
their power. A crisis is fast approach
ing, that will require their mutual conf
dence, support and energy to prevent a
general crash, that might destroy the
hopes and blast the fair prospects of
thousands of our most worthy and en-
terprisng fellow citizens. Political and

party schemes, if INDUCED in, can have
no other effect than to increase The pub,

that our old banks have been extremely
indulgent and forbearing towards their
debtors, and that if they are weak and
unable at present to pay their debts to
the United States, it is because they have
not collected what is due them from the
people, and cannot do so at present with
out producing great distress and pecuni-
ary sacrifice on the part of the commu-
nifty in general.
| am confident that several Of the
banks named in the annexed schedule,
have cui tailed their circulation, and in
some cases increased their amount Of

made, and that before the 10th of May,
every fraudulent institution in the state

RAISING OF SILK WORMS IN THE DISTRICT

AS our District is neither commercial manaiac-
turing though possessing some advantages Tor the for
ner and perhaps more for the latter than any large town
in the Union we would advise citizens TO turn their
attention TO the culture Of the mulberry and the raising OF
silk worms both are easy and agreeable occupations,
recurring very little outlay Of capital, and not much
labor This advice we would extend to all the rest Of
the Union where small farmers find their agriculture in
sufficient for the full support Of the family, where the
force is too inadequate for the general management of all
the land.
No objection can arise from supposed happiness of
climate to the raising the tree necessary for the food Of
the worm or the worm ITSELF both OF them thrive in
all dry regions.
