THE E.ER.NER.
EkZ E FARM.
From the Farmers Cabinet.

The Farm is the home and the abiding
place Of he husband, and his family. il
| is there all their social aud domestic com
forts and happiness are sought and enjoy
ed. is there their sympalhies, their pro-
perly,and individual efforts are in common
stocks. By the proper application OF
their mental and physical powers, they
can convert the farm into an earthly par
adise. They can impari to i, neatness
fertility and rural beauty, which will ell
dear i! to hem, above every other spot on
The face OF the earth that they empha,i-
cally call it '.lIome sweet Home"
The Farm which furnishes full scope
for al the mental and physical energies
of the owner fol long time, will in
some measure become the true index of
his moral. intellectual, and physical char
ecler; the living epiS,le of his life and la
bors; and in no department of the eslab-
llshment do these traits of character APP
pear SO conspicuous and beautiful, as in
the necessary appendage, the well cult
vatsd garden.
Horticulture is the perfection and refine
ment OF agriculture in miniature. 1t was
the frs! employment which the Creator
assigned 10 man, while in a STATE limo
cence. With a delightful climate, rich
and fertile soil, Eden no doubt abnunded
in ilul,s, vegetables aud flowers, '.inex-
hauslble III variety, beautiful in form,
splendid in color,n delicious to the TASTE,
charming to The sight, aud grealful to the
sme'l,-excilng the most plpasurable e.
motions in all the ,enses.--For "there out
of the ground tie Lold God made to
grow every tree that is pleasant to the
sight, and good for food" All these de
llcale and exquisite pieces of workman
ship were planted by God to adorn aud
beauty the garden assigned to Adam and
Eve for Home, during their long sojourn
on the earth; and were expressly calcula
ted to produce in their minds the most en-
allied and sublime conceptions of the wis
dom and goodness Of their Creator. The
structure, habits, character, and usefulness
OF the vegetable world, the manner and
means by which this wonderful combina-
ton of beauty and elegance are produced.
afforded them delightful subject for con-
temptation and study. The simple pro-
cess Of fluid circulation, which BY the
influence Of heat ight aud moisture, gives
all III. variety offurm, and lint, and spIen.
did dyes that beauty and adorn the vege-
table world.
"Such beauty and bsnsfcence combined,
Shade unperceived, SO sof,enng into sh-ds,
And all SO forming and harmonious whole,
That a. they still succeed, they ravish still"
The very name of Eden signifies plea

bar, though his nearest relative, is often
dark and scowling-a sense of shame
that attaches to himself, weighing on him
at the very crisis of the prisoners fate.
A woman's look is tina. of compassion s.

situation, or of the opinion Of the crowd
around her, as regards herself; if she CLAN

Of the testimony makes for or against

some strong point, that she may discern
their opinions OF his fate. She watches
his every movement; if she is near him,
she anticipates his every want she

lag Indians, after tedious march of be-
tween and 300 miles through deep snow
arrived at an elevated pine forest about 2
miles north of the village, where they
lay concealed till after midnight. Find
ing all quiet, and the snow being covered
with crust that supported the men, Rou-
vile left his snow shoes and packs a, the
loot OF the elevation, and GRO ssing Deer

open meadow before daylight, Arriving
at the northwest quarter of the fort (the
guard had just retired) where the snow
had dr'fted to the top Of the palisades, the
enemy entered the place and found all in
a profound sleep. Pxlies detached in
different directions broke into the houses
and dragged the aslonished inhabitants
from their beds, killing generally those
who resisted. A party forced the door
OF the house of the Rev. Mr.. Williams.
who awakened by the noise, seized Dis
tol and snapped it at one of the Indians
who were ente'i ing his room-he was
seized and bound and two of his children
and black female servant were killed
before his eyes. The house of Can't.
Sheldon was attacked, but The door a,
which the Indians attempted to enter was
boiled. They then perforated il with their
tomahawks, and thrusling a muskel
through, fired and killed his wife. The
Captains son and his wife, awakened by
the assault leaped from a window, she
sprained her ankle and was caught. he
escaped to the woods and reached Hat
field. After gaining possession of his
house which was the largest in the place,
the enemy reserved it as depot for the
prisoners. The numbered captured was
liz, and the number killed AZ. Having
P!undered the buildings and set fire to
them, Rouville left the place when the
sun was about enc hour high. All the
buildings except the meeting house, and
that of Capt Sheldon were burned; it be-
ing the last one fired, WAS saved by the
English Immediately after the enemy left.
The ground plan Of this building - 42 by /
81 feet. The timber used in its con
slruc'on is of large size and firm texture,
and most OF it remains sound. Even the
Sllls, and primitive clapboards at the gable
ends, are in a good Stale of prcservation.
The door showing the perloration made
by the tomahawks still remans-olher
parts of the building have been repaired,
and its appearance is certainly quite res
pectabe.

Throughout tho whole Of the Union, in
almost every city, town, and yillsge, the
Wings are arousing themselves to action
Scarcely do we take in hand paper that
advocates the political principles Of Henry
Clay and his occupancy Of the Presidential
chair, that does NOE either proclaim a Wing
triumph or announce movement on the
part Of the people towards the achievement,
Of victory. The same spirit which ANNA
ted our party in the contest Of 1910, and
which resulted in such brilliant vctory,
is again spreading itself over the broad land .
The Wings are eTincing tho will TO act,
knowing they possessthe power 10 do, when
once actually aroused, The meetings Of the
Wigs wherever they have been held have
been numefously attended, and the utmost
enthusiasm has prevailed. Every whershas
the nomination. Of " Harry Of the West'' been
received wish shouts OF welcome, which are,
however, but faint preludes to the loud &C
carnations Of joy, whichringiDg from one
extent Of tho land to the other, will proclaim
another great Wing victory in his triumph.
There is nothing that can snbdue the spirit
iha; IS at present abroad; nothing exists now
noE will any thing spring into existence,
IN the time to intervene ere the al of 1914,
calculated in tha least 10 dampen The ardor
and enthusiasm Of the Whigs. The party,
Of sufficient strength even now to insure a
victory is continually becoming stronger and
