THE ICE TRADE.

The farmers Visitor, edited by Isaac
Hill, remarking that many hundred lhOus.
and dollars have been gained TO the com
merce Of Boston, by the expectation OF
Ice, adds, that as a pereserVativo of ap-
pies and other fruit sent in ships 10 a great
distance, the Ice ships are found TO serve
an important use. Mr.. David Hill, the
lost year, sent out two hundred boxes
of ripe strawberries from his farm, in an
Ice ship TO ono of ths West India Islands,
they were sold as luxury there for what l.
ever price was asked.
In topical climates, ice has now become
a most important article OF the mGteriG
medicG. In all The places where it can
be procured, it is in daily Use for the vio'
lent nhammatory diseases peculiar to
hot climates.
As an article oil trade, the exporters OF
ice are now becoming curiOusly careful
and nice in their selection of lots. We
we're interested in learning from a gen.
tleman al the eastward, who bad shipped
a good deal, that d New Orleans con-
tractor for ice, was in the habit Of exams

THE DUELEIST UNFIT FOR OFF,
CES OF TRUST.
Permit me now, my friends, to ask you
solemnIy, will you any longer persist in
YOUR attachment 10 duelists3 Will you
any longer, either deliberately or thought
le ssIy vote for them9 Will you renounce
allegiance to your Maker, and cast your
Bible behind your backs Will yoI con-
fide in men, void Of .he fear OF God and
destitute of moral principles3 Will you
intrust life 10 murderers, and liberty TO
despots! Are you patriots, and will you
constitute those Legislators, who desPise
YOU and despise equal laws, aHd
wage war with eternal principles Of JUS
ticei Are you Chrlstians,and by uphold>
ing dueIisls, will you deluge the land
with blood, and fill il with widows and
with orphanss Will you aid in the pros
lration Of Justice; in the escape OF Crimi'
nal; in the extinction of liberiy2 Will
YOU place in the chair Of state, in theSen.
ale, or on the bench Of justice, men who
if able, would murder you for speaking
truthP Will you teach your children that
there is no guilt in murder: Will you
instruct them to think lightly of duelling,
and train them up to destroy or TO be de.
stroyed in the bloody 6eIdS Will you
bestow your suffrage, ,-when you know that
BY Withholding it you may arrest this
deadly evil when this TOO is the only way
in which it can be done, and when per
haps the only period in which resistance
can avail-when the remedy is so easy
so entirely in our power;and whsnGod, u
you do not punish these guilty men, will
most inevitably punish you?
Had you beheld the dying father con-
veyiDg, bleeding, agoniEing, to his dis
tracted family, had you heard their Pierc'
ing shreks, and witnessed their frantic
agony would you reward the savage man
who had plunged them in distresss Had
the duelIisl destroyed your own father,
been killed by the man who solicits your
suffrage-had your son, laid low by his
hand, been brought to your door; pale in
death and weltering in blood-wOuld you
then think the crime small one3 Would
YOU honor with your confidence, and ele-
vate 10 power by your vote the guilty
monster! And what do you think of
those who would reward hint And yet
such scenes Of unullerabIe Anguish are
multiplied every year the duelist is cutting
down somebody. Every year and many
times in a year, father is brought dead
or dying to his family,or son laid breth'
less at the feet of his parents, and eve'
ry year you are Patronizng by your votes
the men who commit these crimes, and
looking with cold indifference upon and
even mocking the sorrow Of your neigh
Dor. Bewaro,I admOnish you baWare, lest
having no feeling for the sorrow of anO
tber, you be called 10 weep for your own

"On the 9Th of January, 1925, Mr..
Clay is charged to have written a letter
TO Francis P. Blair, then an intimate &

letter is the evidence conclusive Of the

Clay. 10 late speech in Congress,
Col. Linn Boyd proposed to Mr.. White,
a friend Of Mr.. Clay, that they should ad-
dress joint letter 10 Mr.. Clay, asking
him TO permit the letter to be published.
Mr.. White refused to join in the letter.
Mr.. Blair still he's the letter, but cannot
publish it, because it is marked 'cOnfi"

IMPORTANT FACTS FOR FAR.

Mr.. Editor:-I wish to make known
through your paper some facts which
think will be Of some service to the far
meTs.
Amasa Andrews, ESQ.,, Of this town,
harvested sixty acres Of wheat. this sea-
son, while it was so green and unripe,
that every farmer in the neighborhOod
thought and did not hesitate 10 declare
him mad. He commenced cutting ten
days before any others begun. The ber'
ry when cut, was soft, and in that state
being in The milk He has now thresh
ed it; and being somewhat curious to
learn the result of so novel proceed.
ing, [ TO day went, in company with Mr..
Andrews TO the mill and examined the
wheat, and found it plump with a pc.
cLlisr transparency Of the berry which
never before saw-Which is TO be at.
tribuled 10 the very thin coating of the
bran. We weighed some, land found il
weighed just sixty'three pounds 10 the
measured busbel; and an experienced
one informed me that il made more -four
and less bran than any wheat he ever
saw.
Now the above facts are worth know.
ing, from several considerations. By
cutting so early no wheat is sbelIed and
lost, and the harvesting season can be
heightened out, so as moi 10 make it nee.
essary TO work or produce scarcity Of
hands; besides, the wheat is beyond
doubt better and will make more and bet
ter -four.

THE FARMERS PROSPECT.

"There comes frost--a killing frost,
And nips them in their bud"
About four or FIVE weeks ago, we had
tho farest prospect for one of the finest
harvesls that ever blessed the State.-
The early warmth Of the spring pushed
grain, fruits, and every kind ofvegeIatiOn
far in advance ofoIdinary seasons. The
young wheat looked beautifully. About
ton days since, however, wheat fields in
many parts Of the county, began TO as"
sumo yellow stunted appearance, and
it was found that the FLY had been at
work. We are informed that il has dons
much damage, and farmers who expe C t.
ed to reap heavy harvest, are now an
ticipating a very light crop. Added to
the raVages Of the FLY, we had on Tues.
day night last a severe frost. The heavy
fog in the morning protected vegetation
in this neighborhoOd-but in situations
where this protection against The effects
Of the frost was wanting, the fruit tees
and vegetation generally, must have sat
fersd. Fears are entertained that the
wheat may have also suffered from the
same cause.-[Tuscarswas Advocate.
