A ALooklng.Glass for Farmorss

To J. BueI. Esq, editor OF f''Iho c"ie'ves"F'
Dear Sir,-When | was boy, | can

to wash my smully face, by having look.
ing. glass held before my eyes. For the
same purpose, have extracted the follow.
ing picture ofsa farmer" from the writings
of tina, most eccentric and excellent writer,
samuel Slick" in the hopes that if any Of
your readers should happen 10 see any part
ofhimself therein, that he will improve by
the view. Here it is.
GO That critter, when he built that
wreck of a house. they call 'em half house
here, intended to add as much more to 1t
some ofthese days. and according ly put his
chimbley outside, to sarve the new part as
we'll as the old. He has been too BUSY
ever since, you see, to remove the banking
put there the first fall, to keep The frost out
of The cellar. and consequently It has rolted
tn sls off, and the h. use has fell away
from the chimbley, and he has had 10 prop
it up with great sticks Of timber, to
keep it from coming down on his
knees altogether. All The windows are
boarded up but one, and that might as well
be, for little light can penetrate them ole hats
AMI red flannel peIlcoats. Lcok at the
barn its broken back roof has let the gaoe
eends fall in, where they stand staring at
each other, as if they would like to come
closer together and 10 doubt they soon will:
to consult what is best to be done to gain
their standing in the world. Now look at
,he stock, there's yourimproved short horns:
Them dirty looking, hal! starved geese, and

The Chinch Bug In Surry.
From the Farmers Register.
.Surru county. ,Juiu Isl 1880.

Surry C0unty, JAy lSh Low
Perhap. it may not be unin'erest'ng to
some Of your readers, to learn the sad, and
lamen,able news, that the chinch-bug is now
spreading rapidly over every part Of our
county and on some few farms destroying
every thing before it, and | am afraid, it is
destined at no very distant time, TO be one
ofthe greatest calamities that ever befel this
country. Many farmers (and indeed very
reasonably so,) are very much alarmed at
the visitation of this great destroyer not
only of the farmers hopes, but IN TACT OF
mans principal and main support OF ex's.
tence. We are now harvesting eur wheat
crop, in which they got rather 100 late to
destroy i, entirely, but on many farms have
seriously injured it, many places in the
fields being quite destroyed. On following
after the scytnes, you may see millions of
the bugs, OF all sizes and colors, red, black
and gray, running in the greatest constrrn,
a,ion in every possible direction, serking
shelter under tho sheaves Of wheat, and
lunches of grass, which may happen to be
near. But all those on the borders OF the
field, and indeed on every part OF it, very
soon quit the dry and hard subble for the
more lender and Juicy corn or oats. which
soever may be nearest at hand and now
