For The Liberty Adr0cate.

Mn. EDITOR, --You will please give pub.
licity to the following, for the benefit Of
some of our farmers, who are frequently
in the habit Of Dragging on their agricul-
tural productions:
From one grain of Barley counted
seventy.ono heads; counted the grains
on one head and found fifty, and it was
only an ordinary head, Also, from one
grain Of Rye found seventy-iwo heads I;
counted the grains on one head and
found there was sixty, il also being only
an ordinary head The production Of
the last mentioned grain is 1890 grains
and that Of the first mentioned is $3.50
grains. Now, Mr.. Editor can this be
beat?

THE RISING GENERATION.

We once ''yisited" country school in
PumpkiEyile, kept by a Mr.. Obadiah
Shocks, between a clump of elder bushes
and noted frog pond, The object Of our
visit was, of course, 10 see what progress
the "rising generation" were making in
the walks OF literature and science; and
we can assure the reader that we came
away highly gratifed and much more
amused
Having seated our dgnifed selrin the
masters arm chair, We threw one leo
over the olher-looked as serious as a
psalm book, and waited for the first exhi,
blton.
"Fiflh class take their places to read"
was the grand signal for az attack on our
gravity; at which command out scamper-
ed into the middle Of the fiucr an interes-
ting looking lot Of urchins, truly I'M

was the general aspect. After they had
writhed, twisted and squirmed through
the reading of their monosyllables, came
on the spelling! Tim Titmouse, whose
tow irock and check apron ornamented
the foot of the class, was a "buslern at
spelling. Witness his efforts:
"Timothy, spell hoar"
"H, 0, e, no, a, X, aX--hoe-arc."
"The next &c.
Toe the mark, Timothy, and spell

Next came class in parsing,
Master reads. "BoyS are less studi,
Gus than girls. lchabod, parse boys.''
"Boys is an indefinite artce--impera-
tive mood, singular tense, objective case,
and agrees with girls"
"Giye your rule"
"Conjunctions always connect sexes
and all kinds of genders'
'We sat as composedIy as kep of ovs,

The Democratic presses throughout
the country raised the cry of "proscrip.
ton" against the administration of Gen.
Harrison for removing Van Buren, office
holders from office. The removals which
took place under his administration were
only such as were necessary to carry out
the work Of reform and retrenchment
which he promised 10 do. In doing this
he had no regard to the political opinions
Of the incumbents, but where the promise
made to the people Of reform required a
removal, the removal was made. Many
Wings as well as Democrats, we're re.
moved from office. The same course of
proceeding as to the removal OF Office
holders took place under every admins
tration from Jefferson down to the admin
istration Of Mr.. Harrison. The removals
under the administration of Gen. Harrl-
son were expected and required by the
people. Reform among office holders gen.
orally, as well as reform in the admins
tration of the General Government, were
specifically set forth by the Wings during
the last canvass, and the people in cleo
ting Gen. Harrison virtually demanded
that he should use the broom Of reform in
sweeping out every oaice-holder who had
interlered in the freedom of elections
How many office-holdcrs under Mr.. Van
Buren, were there, that did not Interfere
in elections? If Gen. Harrison removed
them, why should the Democrats there.

WASHINGTON, April IS, 1871,

WASHINGTON, April Is, 1871
Many characteristic anecdotes are re.
lated Of Gen. Harrison, connected with
his habits during his brief sojourn here
as President. twas his custom to take
early walks, and he frequently took the
market in his way. On one Of these &C.
caslons he purchased a new mich COW
from neighboring farmer and requested
him to drive it TO the presidents House
The Gen. was there to attend to the ami
NAL, and invited the farmer in TO take
some relreshment: procured bowl of
hot coffee, ham and eggs, and continued
conversation with him about farming.
The farmer having finished his break
fast, remarked 10 the General, you have
bought my COW aud given me Two dollars
more than | asked, aud u good break fast
besides; but if it wouldn't be 100 much
trouble, ! should like TO have a look at the

at first looked incredulous, having taken
his hospltable friend lorthe steward; but
convinced Of his mistake with much
irankness observed, well General, | yo !

know you then. That simple remark
! didn't know you then will explain
thousands OF votes cast against the good
General a his election.
General Harrison in his last out door
exercise. was engaged in assisting the
gardener in adjusting some grape vines.
The gardener remarked that there would ,
be but little use in trailing the vines, so
far as any fruit was concerned, as the
boys would come on Sunday, while the
family was at church and steal all the
2 rapes; and suggested to the General as
A guard against such loss, that he
should purchase an active watch dog
Better, said the General, to employ
Sabbath school teacher; dog may take
care fthe grapes, but a good Sabbath
school teacher will take care OF the grapes
and the boys TOO,
That vine will put forth its tendrils and
is green leaves, but the hand that traiIed
t to the sun, is cold in the grave. The
we that would have watched its expan,
ling verdure, is closed in darkness, aud
he heart that would have rendered to
others the hospitality Of its fruit, is now
)ulseIess and still. There is no vintage,
