A NOBLE OLD SOLDIER,


The Oldest survivor in the present catalooue
of Harvard University, is DR.. Ezra Green, of
Dover, n. H., says the Courier He was horn
in Maiden, Mass, June II, l746, and graduated
IN 1862 eighty years ago this summer. He
joined the New Hampshire regiment in the
revolutionary army as a surgeon. in June, ITS.
and continued I'LL the last Of December, I776.
Ia the meantime, having gone by the way Of the
North River to Montreal, and joined the army
on It's retreat before the enemy, as thew adj
vanced from Quebec. In October, l777. he
enlisted as surgeon on board the Ranger, of
eighteen guns, Captain Paul Jones. He was on
board that vessel when the attempt was made
10 capture the Earl OF Selkrk, and IN tine action
with the Drake. lie returned to America in
the Ranger, in October, l77S, under the com.
mand Of Captain Slmpson--Jpnes remained in
France. In the spring of l779. he went on q
cruise with Captain Simpson in The Ranger, in
company with the Providence and the Queen of
France. These thee vessels fell in with six
briggs loaded with salt, under convoy Of brig of
fourteen guns, and took them all and brought
them into Portsmouth, N. H.. after an absence
OF three weeks. Shortly afterwards the same
vessels made another cruise, fell in with huge
yanaica fleet, "llomeward bound" loaded with
rum, sugar, logwood pimenro, &c, and captured
eight OF them, seven Of which they succeeded
in getting into the port OF Boston. As thew
approached the harbor, the house tops were
crowded with people, alarmed at the sight Of
ten large ships coming up, supposing them to
be British fleet. The Eext wear DR.. Green

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

In the early part OF our experience as
publisher Of an agricultural paper, we
found that the readers Of such journals
could be divided into two classes, one OF
which read with profit, the oiherw with We
nv little II any. OF farmers who already
know every thing, despse all agricultural
reading, and treat the idea Of any i'm.
provemeui IN husbandry with the most
profound contempt. The number belong
ing to this class is much reduced but spe-
cimens are occasionally met with.
Farmer A. belongs to the class Of rea'
ders with little profit. The reason is, he
does not sufficiently exercise his OWE
Judgment il reference to the detalls o
farming He reads statement that suct
farmer was eminently successful IN the
cultivation Of such crop: the growing
or fattenng OF such or such on animal
or the management in general Of a farm
on the principles Of rotation; and he deter
mines at once TO do the same. He does
not stop TO inquire whether his soil is suit
ed 10 the particular cropbe wishes to grow
whether it be too wet or too dry, 100 Ugh
or too heavy, rich or poor, bu, pursuing
the course pointed out by the successiu
farmer, 30 miscrably fails in his crop, o

his animals, and frequently throws on the
publication or its correspondent, the blame
which fairly belongs 20 himself.
Farmer B. on the contrary, is one OF
the class Of readers that find decided
profit 10 the perusal Of agriculiural papers.
He takes the same papers as a., but Who'll
L " escapes the mistakes into which A. is
constantly Filling. The reason Is 10 be
found in the fact that be exercises his
ljudgmen. in managing bis farm and IS
fully aware that a course OF husbandfy
that would be successful on one kind Of
soil, or one particular location, would be
runpus on another. Because great crop,
or fine snimals, have been produced uu.
der certain circumstances, he does not 90
on to infer that they will be so in all. and
/ il is 10 this discrimination add adaptation,
| that the cause Of his success is found. He
reads, compares, reflects, aud decides
whether a course is suitable for him, bis
soil or circumstance, before he adopts IT,.
His agricultural reading furnishes him
with The means OF doing this correctly, and
in that he finds great advantage.
Agricultural publications are not lnien'
ded to supersede the use Of the judgmen,
10 matters Of practice, among those who
receive them; their great Office is to ena.
bic the farmer to judge correctly as to
the proper course for him to pursue; to
bring to bis notice all improvements in
hussbsndry and agricultural implements,
that he may choose wisely for himsele to
show what has been done by others, and
the way it has been done, that il in the
same circumstances, and it is desirable,
he may DO so too; and TO excite to i'm.
proyement by showing it is practicable
and profitable. The farmer must do as
do men in other cases, obtain ell the light
and information possible by reading, and
then reflect, reason, decide, and practice
FOR himself.
