any schools will be established among
them, except such as are taught by mis-
sionaries, Tor many years 20 come.
In view OF the wants of the different
tribes we have mentioned, we think that
ttceLpe additional missionaries is the least
number that could with propriety be sent
70 commence operations in so wide a field.
In the midst Of such varied obstacles and
discouragements as We have to contend
with in country like this, it is IN the
highest degree desirable that there should
be concentration Of effort, and that all
missionaries in the sane field should be
of one denomination. and acting under
the instructions Of one Board. In thi:
way only can we hope for that combined
harmonious, and systematic action OF al

nry to success. We would. therefore
dear breihten, earnestly suggest the pro
pfiety Of an Immediate concentration @

God ii his providence has, now given in

Dear Brother-In compliance with
the wishes of some of my brethren, for
ward you some farther account of the re-
cent merciful dealings of God to his peo-
pie in this place, Wayne g. Urbana. y
Our meeting on Mt. Washington, after
continuing little more than three weeks,
closed; and after an intermission of about
week, we commenced another at the
meeting house, three or four miles north
east from the former place. which was
continued four weeks, though part OF
the time evenings only. This, as we'll
as the former, was solemn and interest
ing season of protracted worship. The
preaching (which was performed princi-
pally by our beloved pastor, J. P. Call,
and 0. B. Call) was plain, pointed, and
PRACTICAL and the Lord directed it to the
hearts and consciences Of the hearers
The brethren and sisters frequently felt.
while assembled together, that the place
was "solemn and awful-none other
than the house of God and the gate of
heaven" while we saw around us our
| dear neighbors,- and their children, and
our own children, bowed down, under a
sense of their guitsand condemnation, be-
fore God, anxiously inquiring what they
should do to be saved, while others were
rejoicing in the pardoning mercy Of God
through the Redeemer. These scenes
we desire long to cherish in our memo.
ries, with grateful feelings to our dear Say.

The subjec, of Education, so important
in the estimation Of every ;otellIgent per-
son in our country, having fIatc recevc

schoos Of every grade being greatly multi
piled, there seemed 10 be wanting some or

so essential to any scheme Of educa',oo,
could be readily and properly secured. MOI
only is there great des,itution of teachers
in many parts Of our country, but even
where schools exist, there is often cause 10
lament the incompetcncy Of the Inssruc'
tiers employed, and an evil Of still greater
magnitude is not unfrequently found IN the
influence exercised by an intemperate or

VALUE OF SWEET APPLES.

The superiority Of apples, especially
sweet onas, over many loot crops, Tor
feeding farm stock, is rapidly becoming
known. There greater cheaPness is also be.
coming established. 1t has been already
shown, in an article published few weeks
since in this paper, that they may be affor-
ded, at reasonable compensation for the
expense Of planting the orchard and the
price of the land, at the rale Of half cent
bushel. This Of course IS only to be ex.
pected from good culture and the selection
of proper varieties. The expense of root
crops, when cultivated in the cheapest man.
ner, may be considered on an average as
ten times that amount, or five cents bushel.
Apples are especially valuable. as in addition
to feeding other animals, they are SO ad.
rriirrsskh!!y adapted to the fatteniag of hogs.
For the preceding reasons alone, 1t may os
safe to predict, that in a fen gears the crop
of apples viHbe considered as ssl second
to the aoheot crop.
Bu, there is an additional reason for al
taching importance to app les. This is
that they will probably yet become much
more valuable than the sugar beet for the
manufacture of sugar. Molasses is alredy
obtained from the juice Of sweet apples, by
evaporating the cider in its very freshest
state by boiling, Of a good quantity and
much cheaper than by buying it in market.
1t is true, sugar has not been thus obtained ;
but the molasses is far sweeter and purer
than the substance obtained by the same
process from the beet; and it is probable
that pure sugar may he obtained by as sim.
pie process as it is from the beet. If this
proves to be the case, apples, from their
superior cheapnes', and the very triAing Ia.
Dor of their cultivation, as well as the con-
slant labor required for the culture of the
beet, will probably supercede entirely the
latter. The experiment appears to be we'll
worthy of ural.-Genesee Farmer.

AGRICULTURAL PAPERS.

Why don't you take an agricultural pa
per, is question put to farmers, and many
will answer, O, take more papers no"
than can read.
This is poor management: for the farmer
10 take papers on various other subjects 4,
the entire neglect of those relating to Rss
own affairs. In selecting his papers, the
farmer should by no mean, overlook those
which are devoted to his own profession,
and advocate his own interest; on the con-
trary, these should have decided prefer
ence. How can farmer or any Other man
get thoroughly acquainted with his p'otes-
sion without study and investigation, espe.
cially wnen there is so much TO be learned
from science, and the slow process OF ex.
pertinent, as in agriculture, that thousan
years would moi suffice for one man learn
Alone what has already been discovered
and recorded.
Go into the study Of the minis er, lawyer
docto,. politician, and you will find them
with l,trary Of standard works on their
professions, ard with periodicals that bring
them fresh diligence and new discoveries,
and they will still be studying and improving !;
but look into lhe library Of the farmer and
you will look IN vain for agricultural works; 5;
Should the lawyer o. doctor read on all
other subjects and neglect his own Profes,
sion, who would employ h'n VINO wou'o
have any confidence in his s., .,1ll
Some farmers say their n tners were
farmers, and they have always \ veo on d
farm. and they know all about the b >'S'ness;
and no one can learn them any thing, ano
so they 60 on in the old way, without q. g
thought as to its being right or wrong' and
never dream of Improvement.
Now, farmers, acak up to the chalk, fur
nish yourselves with standard books on your
profession, take an agricultural paper, and
become enlightened in your own affairs,
and you will find your business more pleas
ant and you will be elevated 10 that lmpor.

to hold--a most respectable. intelligent in.

We insert today communicatlon from
an esteemed friend, giving an account of
four shoats killed by him the present winter,
at the age of 8 months and IL days, the
average weight Of which is 1876 pounds
From the account detailed Joy him, the
reader will perceive that they received but
moderate feeding w,:ile being reared, and
that while fattening, nothing but refuse corn
was given to them; and we think he will
conclude with US, that had they been better
and longer fed-,hat is, had they been
pushed from the beginning, and the killing
DELAYED three weeks, or until they were 9
months cd, their average would have ex.
ceeded 200 lbs. The boar by whom they
were sired, is one ofthe best OF the hog kind
We have ever seen, IN every point which
imparts value he was imported by that pub.
lie spirited gentleman, Rein D. Shepherd,
ESQ. Octheir mother it is enough to say, that
she is Chester county hog, for all lntellI-
gent farmers to set a proper estimate upon
her value as there is no one acquainted
with the relative merits of the various
breeds of hogs. but know that these stand
very high, and we are sure that the cross
with Mr.. Shepherds admirable boar, will
greatly improve the stock.
We have now several pigs by the same
boar and sow, for sale on commission, and
should be happy to be the means of selling
them to some farmer, who would take care
of Them, and give us report of them when
killed, as we are certain if well kept, their
breed will tell a tale that will read we'll in
swinish history.
In conclusion, we have to express our
regret that our correspondent did not use
his own proper signature, as we are precu-
ded by the ineogIto he has thought proper
to adopt, from following the dictates of our
heart, in calling them after him, believing
that he has. by his iudicious cross, created
breed Of hogs tha, no gentleman need be
ashamed to sec bear his name.-Farmcr
