stated, 10 have been designated by the President
TO fii, the seat on the Supreme Bench OF the Uni
ted States, vacated by the death Of the late Jus
tce Baldwin Mr. Grier is now President Judge
of the Western Judicial District of Pennsylvania,
Judge Gric- formerly resided at Danville, and
for number of years, prac'ised at the Bar in
this place. He always sustained high charac'
ter for his legal learnin: and literary attain
ments.
A Philadelphia paper urging the appointment
of John NJ, Reed seemed to think country law
yer not properly qualified for the station. We
presume, however that no one acquainted with
the two gentlemen, will fear that Judge G. would
suffer any by comparison with Mr. Reed. There
are other Jurists in the country, for instance,
Judge Lewis, and Others We might name, who
we mag inc would hardly deem il a compliment
to be placed on level with Mr.. Reed, of the
city.
We presume, by the time the City Collector,
| Heniy Horn, who thinks the country has no rights
in the Custom House, gets through the Senate,
these city digntaries will fluid that the country
is not to be thus contemued with impanity.

u SUCCESSFUL FARMlsG-A. an evidence Of
wha, can be done, when we'll done, in the way OF
farming, we mention that Mr.. Peter llaughawont
of Rush township, raised three hundred and eigh-
ty bushels of fine large potatoes the past season,
on one and half acres of ground Many ofhis
potatoes vary from one totwo pounds IN weight
Mr. IL after having plowed and narrowed the
ground, spread over il twenty-five four horse
leads of manure. lie then turrowed out iis
ground, and planted about two feet apart. After
the potatoes had came up, he hauled eighty bush
els of lime on the patch in piles Of about half
bushel each, which when slarked, was spread
over the ground.
Mr. H. thinks if the season had been favorable,
he would nearly have doubled his crop. II our
farmers, generally would farm less land and pay
more attention to its culture, they would find II
a much more profitable and satisfactory mode of
farming.

Occasionally we hear the Loco press
tan:alizingly exciaim, 4" What has be-
come of all the predictions Of ruin to
the country which the Wings prophe
sled would befall her if Mr.. Polk was
elected?' To this a ready answer can
be given. The great Wing measure
the Tariff Of I842--is still in opera
ton, diffnsing health and imparling en-
ergy to the Government The bal
ance Of trade, through its influence, is
kept in our favor, and, instead Of baing
the debtor TO England and British in
lerests, we are largely her creditor -
lntsead of having an empty treasury,
we have through the Tariff, a treasury
containing light millions FIVE hundred
thousand dollars; SO that, as far as this
measure of policy is concerned, the Go
vernmeut is conducted on Wing prin-
ciples.

The following beautiful extract, is from
discourse delivered in the city Of Jack
son, on Sunday the Sd Of August, BY
Prof. A. w. Camp: ~
The deed is done! Twas on day
when natures loneliness bedecked the
virgin world with all her golden drape-
ry, and beauty reigned supreme mall
her majesty. On that eyeniful morn,
the rising sun Lighted up the bowers OF
Paradise with his most charming smile
and The snlesss pain answered hlsgree-
ting with matin song to their great
Original. The flowers sent up their
grateful incense, in richest, sublmated
fragrance, and put on their gayest dress
TO salute the actorsiin that days drama,
as together they walked their morning
round. The feathered songsters car
rolled forth their .tuneful lay in most
| harmonious melody, while the whisper
ing zephyrs ushered in their swelling
concert The .ripened fruit displayed
lis lusciousness, and promised an ua-
common sweetness 10 the taste. Recli-
ming here, and lingering as if ravished
by some spell bound bewilderment I'M
der the grateful shade of the forbidden
! tree, the animals receive their tender
caress. Twas scene Of surprising
! loneliness; and from the purling stream,
the opening flower, the singing birds
and rejoicing creation, there rose
chorus of praise, 10 greet the angels
song, whose golden harps were attun-
ed to strains of sweetest concord. In
profound alteration all was lost, save
Adam and Eve, who now for the first
time felt a longing ansatisfed for the
forbidden fruit their hearts yielded
not TO the influence Of the surrounding
scene. While she caressed beautiful
serpent recumbent at her side, it sud.
denly rouses up, and IS endowed with
speech; "Yea," saith he, ''hath God
said, we shall not eat Of every tree OF
the garden!' To which Eve replied
, -"We may eat OF the fsait OF the tsees
of the garden; bat of the fruit OF the
: tree which is in the midst or the garden.
D God hath said, We shall not.eat OF II,
G neither shall We touch it, lest ye die"
!. To this the serpent ..rcpiied-'ye shall
i not surely de-" their astonished looks
J. betrayed their fear. The minstre!sy
Is of heaven sweeps down the vale, but
, bark! a plaintive strain succeeds to
! the joyous chorus, for the angels saw
: The danger and bemoaned the late, oil
= earth's chosen ones. She saw, and de-
" sired that knowledge which was the IA
j ial gift of bat touching the forbidden
is fruit, she plucked, and they ate. 81
} lence regned in heaven. No ionge'
i obedient, the affrlghted beasts and bird;
instinctively fled their approach. The
5. sun in his midway course turned pale
D. and withdrew his beams. The heavens
Y gathered blackness. Earth felt TIT
e shock, and trembled, ,empesis ragec
