The mill will be in operation to-rnor-
row. Our neighbors will send their grain as soon
IS VIC are ready to grind, and we calculate that
the toll with little assistance from Newly ork,
will keep us in brcad-stuf' this winter
The Agricultural Series is now in tiourishing
condition, the young Chief lately elected, performs
his duties with zeal, activity and intelligence, and,
although at first some doubt existed respecting
his experience in that line, we are now satisfied
that the selection was good one and have well
founded hope that, like young Napoleon in his
very first campaign, he will carry every thing be-
fore him. at the point Of the Plough.
All our pIoughed land is sown in Rye; the
cloarers having ceased cutting down trees, have
ioined the Geological Group, and the stones have
been picked up and carried to the road side, ready
70 be walled up as soon as we can spare the time;
The pine knots have also been saved, and those ugly
charred trees, with their blackcncd branches look
ing like the ghosts of the departed forest have all
been snaked to the Hire, to make the pot boil.
The work has been thoroughly done, and, IN the
opinion of our neighbors, the land looks as If 1t
had been in cultivation three years at least. The
Buckwheat is cut, and will be thrcshed the first
fair day. We are sure now that Corn will grow
well on the Domain; the Struggling stalks IN our
potatcfeld sprung up of their own accord, with
out any care have, as the sef-educated generally
do, proved Of excellent quality, at least SO say the
Ladies who alone had a taste of It, for we men
only saw the cobs, which were of respectable
size. Much delay and inconvenience has been

must not forget to mention the accession to
our Agricultural strength aud skill by the arrival
Of Mr.. - this gentleman is an experienced,
PRACTICAL Woodworking farmer, understands par
truarly well the care and management OF cattle
and horses /; his services will prove of inesmabc
value to us. | may also add that the quality Of
our land and lorwardness of the work far exceed
his expectations. You may note this as the Opln-
ION of good Judge in these matters.
The Potatoes will be dug next week the crop
raised on that old rycdout field is of good quail
ty but not very abundant.
The three-stor building was raised last week.
Nothing is wanted to complete the frame but the
rafcrs, and we must be satisfied to wait for the
action of our rickety saw-mi which, under the
slperntendcnce of 's', has evidently improved
its rate OF saving. Timber is also to be got out
for new hoom for the Flour-Mill the odonc is
very rotten, and more water leaks out of 1t than
it takes to turn the wheel.
Carpenters shop of two stories has been built
adjoining the mill; the lower floor is occupied by
the Circular Saws, Just put operation, and by the
Single Machine, which will be ready to perform
tomorrow. These machines required separate
shafts and drums to drive them.
The Shoe shop has been enlarged, and now
measures 35 feet in length We have good pros
poets Tor an extensive and profitable business in
that line. Custom work comes in faster than we
can do it, and many of us go almost barefoot for
the sake OF not losing chance of profit TO the
Phaany. The boots that are made will bear Il
comparison with the best City manufacture; and
the reputation Of our cordwa!ners is spreading
rapidly.
A large oven has been built in the basement OF
the new building; the cooking range is also
finished, and nothing wanted to enable us to use

former kitchen arrangements were entirely insult
