ROOTS vs.. HAY.

We take the following from repor,
made 10 the Massachusetts Agricultural
Society, by the Mcssrs. Coils, OF PittsGeld,
Berkshire CO., and we do IT to show the
immense advantage made IN substituting
roots for hay in feeding cattle. as we'll as

will appear far better al the opening of the
spring.
You will perceive that the respective va

bushel, while hay is AT ten, and straw at
four. 1t may be said that there is some
cost in preparing food, bot this is more than
compensated if properly done, by The extra
quantities of manure made"
Thus it appears that 20 lbs. of straw and
IS lbs OF roots mixed, afford more nutrimen'
and of course are more valuable than 30
lbs OF good hay, while the actual cost is
much less.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The General Government has again
been cast in suit against Mai. Hatch. oil
The Boston AMI New Bedford Express, for
n violation of the Post Office laws.
The decision in this case was given by
Judge Story of the Supreme Court OF the
United States, who fully sustained the
ruling Of Judge Sprague in the case of
himball. He minated that in order ~
convict Latch, it was necessary for the
Government 10 prove either that he was an
owner of the cars or steamboat in which
the letter was conveyed, or that he con
We, ed it not only with knowledge on their
par; that he was violating the law; that n
passenger had right TO carry for hire,
about his person, or otherwise, letters by
a mail route, and such letters could not
properly be said 10 be conveyed by the
ears. He also expressed a doubt whether
Congress had ever yet, in any legal in
tendmcnt. established any post roads. All
the acts of Congress on this subject, he
SAID, describe the post roads from one
town TO another, Without defining the par
ticular route or road intended 10 be estab-
llshed as post road.
But there was another point TO which
Judge Story alluded. point which this
paper has always maintaincd-'. This
was, said the Judge, "whether the Uni
ted States had any e.rclusirc right to esta!-
lish post offices and post routes. This
was question of great importance, and
there were many difficulties in maintain
that power in the L. States"

was Az pleasant as usual, very gentle
breeze playing with the leaves, and u cloud
occasionally shutting the sun from view;

cloud, covering the whole northeastern ho-
rizon, seemed TO stand still, while from tho
south a very severe gale was constantly
| blowing. AS at Il signal, the cloud started
from the position il had so long maintained
and in a few moments the rain was pour
ing down in torrents and so continued for
20 or 80 minutes, when it ceased, and about
this time, Tor very short calm, strong
gale was blowing in the opposite direction
from which it came before. But This was
not the place for its horrors We have lear
ned but few particulars, and they are truly
