PERIODICAL MORTALITY. In Brownins's Do

there are some valuable statistics relating to the
Periodical Mortality Of the human race. 1t ap-
pears from the following table prepared from Of
fetal documents, that there is an extraordinary
mortality at The termination OF every tenth year
of mans life from the age of thirty years. In
every instance from the age Of thirty and up
wards, the mortality in the year which terminates
the decade is much greater than III the preceding
and succeeding years. 1t seems to say that ut
these periods man is under the influence of

TME FARNH ER.
From the Genessee Farmer.
SHEARING LAMBS.

Mr.. Tucker,-The practice Of shearing lambs,
not those that are very small and late however,
ms obtained to a considerable extent in this
country and where tried has believe been
generally approved. On my flock have found
II to produce the following good effects, without
any sensibly injurious ones. Shearing the lambs
ms effecrually freed my flock (about one hun
bred in number,) from ticks,but one having been
found on my sheep at the last two shearings-
and it has given the yearling clip an even
smooth surface, free from the coarse hairs and
unequal locks which are usually found on the
first coat of lamb. The difference in the
weight of a yearling fleece from one shorn when a
1amb, or one not shorn II any, is but very triling,
and in my opinion not to be considered mo-
ment with he advantages to be derived from the
practice if sheared at ALL lambs should De shear
ed early, and then the wool is so grown, that no
danger need be apprehended from the effect Of
the cold weather. have sometimes as exper-
lment, sheared one side of lamb and left the
other untouched, but at the next shearing no
one would have supposed such an operation had
been performed, unless n closer examination
than usual of the wool was made. have there
fore, been accustomed to regard the wool SO cut
from the lamb, nearly clear gain, and where
there was a number of them, it would be no
despsable item in the profits of keeping sheep.
In the following article which copy from an
English publication, it appears different opinions
of the practice are entertained there, from those
have expressed; and if any of your readers have
made themselves experimentally acquainted with
the practice, and will give the results for publ
ca,on, they might, while gratifying brother
farmer, be comforting benefit on the public at
large. G. ii. M.
MIR Cole,-l send you the following as the re-
suit of ten years experience. l have usually
sheared my lambs between the middle OF July
and the middle of August, but think the period
between the 25th of July AMI the 9Th Of Au-
gust preferable. The quantity of wool has va
ried from ono to three pounds, the average for
early lambs, being about two pounds each.-
The wool, fine article IN the manufacture of
hats, has usually been worth from 33 to SO cents.
The advantages of shearing lambs are, it de-
stroys the ticks, relieves the lambs of an uncom-
Portable fleece, and thus promotes their health
and growth during the warmest part of the sea-
son. The quantity and quality of the wool are
not diminished ut the time of shearing in the
following spring, and ever after, the guam
tty is augmented and quality improved. /
have not unfrequently taken four pounds each
from Saxony yearlings, which had been shorn of
"a valuable fleece the latter part of the proceed
ing July. AS to the disadvantages, know of
none. The lambs winter well, nre in better or
der, and the flock more likely to be increased the
ensuing spring. JOHN MouLToN.

JOHN HANcocK.-During the siege at Boston
Gen. Washington consulted Congress upon the
proprietry of boubardng the town of Boston.
Mr. Hancock was then President OF Congress-
After Gen. Washngtons letter was read, SOL
emn silence ensued. This was broken by
member making motion that the House should
resolve itself into committee of the whole, in
order that Hancock might give his opinion upon
TIE important subject, as he was deeply interest
ed from having all his estate in Boston After
he had left the chair he addressed the chairman,
of the committee of the whole in the following
words: 1T is true, sir, nearly all the property
have in this world is in houses and other real
estate IN Boston; but if the expulsion Of the
British army from il, and the liberties Of our
country require their being burnt to ashes, issue
the order for that purpose INN. ediutety.'

NEwsPAPERs.-Whats tartes tile tyrant from
his dreams of power,and rouses the genius Of an
oppressed people? What Ieaves the thrones
and crumbles the diadems of Europe? What
piles 10 the clouds the majestic columns of our
national glory, and shields as with the segis OF

the thunder speaking PRESS In our govern
nlent the rapid increase OF newspapers within
the last 20 years, argues well for the intelligence,
knowledge and liberty of freemen. LII 1920, but
$50 newspapers were printed in the United
States; i'm 1896, there were GAO; 1880, there 1000;
and at This time their number probably falls not
short Of I500-which Is larger number than
is printed in all Europe, with ts population Of
l00000,0U0. This great disparity is entirely
owing to the perfect Liberty Of the Press" in
this country. The cheapness of American news
pnpers,p lnces them within the reach Of the lintn
bIest citizens of republic, and that man that
does not patronze the press in this country has

And it may he said Of the family that does not

of intelligence within its precincts, that ''shad

A r l ID E.

During the Revolutionary War when corps
OF the American army were encampe,l near the
borough OF Elizabethtown in New Jersey--an
officer who was rather more the devotee of We
nus than of Mars, paid his addresses to a lady OF
distinction, whom he was in The habit of visiting
nightly in the cultivation of those kind feelings
which love SO cordially inspires. On discov-
cry OF the cause of the repeated absence OF the
officer, and of the place where his interve ws
with his dulcinea were had, some waggish friends
resolved to play off handsome trick M his ex-
pense, which should deter him from repetition
OF his amorous visit. The officer, it appears, rode
very small horse of the pony kind, which he
always left united, with the bride reins over his
neck, near the door, in order to monnt and ride
Oft without delay, when the business ofcourting
was over; and the horse always remained until
backed by the owner, without attempting to
change his position On certain very dark
night, when the officer had as usual, gone to pay
his devoirs to the object of his affections, and
was enjoying the approving smiles of his fair
one, his waggish companions went privately to

EFFECT OF WATER ON vEGETATIoN.-Man any
writers on vegetable physiology have supposed
that the earths, with the addition of water, were
vegetation, and the celebrated experiment of
Van Helmont's willow has been frequently ad-
dueed in proof of lhIs position. This tree, plant
ed in lead box, the earth carefully weighed,
and watered with distilled water, rapidly increas-
ed in size; yet after the expiration Of several
years, the earth was found to have decreased
only few ounces in weight, while the tree had
gained u greater number Of pounds; thus show
ing that water, aided by the earth, was the great
supporter of vegetation. The influence of the
air IN this case was overlooked, as later expert
ments have proved that it is to the air large
part of the material appropriated by plants in
their growth is owing. A curious case is re-
corded in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal,
in which plant wholly deprived of what has
been considered the essential element of vegeta-
ton, the enrths, had fiourished for years The
following extract will show this fact,
