James Sloght, an old citizen of Dayton, o. visi-
ted Harrison county, KY last May, to attend the
trial of his son arraigned for man.slaughter While
there, he was indicted for tamperng with one or
two slaves, and informing them how to escape from
bondage; and thrown mo prison. The lawyers
employed by him for himself and his son, taking
advantage Of his condition, eXacted from him, by
way of fees, noes to the amount OF fifteen or sew
enteen hundred dollars lie Is now lying IN Jail,
awaiting his trial, and will probably be sentenced
to The penitentiary. Whether he is guilty of the
offence charged upon him, or whether the whole
thing was a trick to deprive his son of the advan-
tage of his testimony, is not known He is an
old citizen of Dayton; was once elected by the De-
mocracy of Montgomery, County Treasurer; and
is yet member of that party.-Cincir'nah Herald.

A LITTLE FARM WELL, TITLED

The greatest obstacle to the improvement of ap
ricuture in New England is the propensity of the
farmer-the mania, might call ito own more
land than he can till to advantage. And it is thus
that we scattered over the country, large tracts
of sterile unproducve land, which under good cul-
tivatou, would yield bountiIul and valulble crops.
Not only the dictates of sound philosophy, but nu-
rerous facts drawn from experience, are constant
y and loudly calling upon the farmer, from every
quOrter-occupy a small farm and cuitirate it ,ceH
This great truth is already beginning to be I'M
derstood in other countries and is attended with
corresponding advantages. Tho densest popula-
ton in Europe may be found in Flanders and Lon.
hardy, where the land is divided into small farms,
and being thoroughly TILED, produces abundant
food for the inhabitants. And the experience of a
quarter of century i'll France proves, that by the
occupation Of the country under small working
farmers, the land is producing one-thlrd more food
and supporting population one-third greater, than
when 1t was possessed in large masses.
The law is uniyersal-lt applies to every coun-
try-tha the secret Of success IN agriculture con-
siss in the thorough cultivation of IA small piece
Of ground. In almost every part of New England
one CAP ial error through the whole system of
farming. "A great deal Of money is INFESTED IN land
and a reY lille is employed IN lis cultivation. And
it is sad TO see the owner Of large farm pride
himself on the number of acres he possesses, and
undertake to cultivate them without sufficient
means. Such man has been happily compared
to merchant who eYpends all his capital in build
ing for his own use large and roomy store, and
is afterwards seen gazing with complacency on his
bare walls and empty shelves.
What harrassed, unhappy being is usually the
owner of such farm! He has chalked out for
himself hard lot, and voluntarily entered on a
state of scrvtude worse than Egyptian bondage--
His work is never accomplished His house is out
of repair, his barn diupidated, his cattle poor, his
pastures overrun with bushes and acres of land,
which, under proper cultivation, might be made to
yield rich harvests are butlitte removed from bar
renness, perhaps dotted with mullen, burdocks,
thistles, or filled with sorcl, white weed and other
noxious plants, which root out the grass, and eat
up The life of the soil, without afording nourish
nlent for man or beast. With his spirits depressed
and the worm of discomfort knawing at his heart,
with him there are no pleasant associations with
the past-the present is full Of anxiety care and
hard labor-and dark cloud rests upon the future.
He reminds me of Hoods touching "Song of the
Shirt'-ana it may well be said or sung of him.

TIE VERMONT CENTRAL. RAII. RnAI

This noble enterprise, in connection with the
Cheshire 8; Euchbmgh Rail Roads, moves on grand
y. The stock is rapidly filing up On Saturday
the 18th, there was found to be on the books, over
S20CO,CC0. A very great change has recently ia
ken place in the feelings of the Bosonans in favor
Of the Central route TO Boston uiu Etchbwgh and ht
Cheshire Rail Roads. Something like $4,000 was
taken in Boston on the 10Th inst. and the country
subscripti cns are constantly increasing. The nc
cessary amount previous to ali organization, having
been more than taken, with present prospects, we
have to assure our readers that the Fremont Central
Rail Rodd to Boston in connection with the Fich-
bugh and Cheshire Rail Roads must go, and be as
as good, if not The very best Rail Road stock in
New England. We believe, from present appear.
ances, that the spade and pick axe will be called
into use on the line Of the road, within orc month
or Immediately after organization on tie G3d. The
connection with the FachJwgh Rail Road has pro-
we'd good one, and the friends of the Central
Road, here in the country aud in Boston too, are
every day more and more satisfied that this route
The one above all others, because every portion Of
the route is paying portion.
The country has done well in her subscriptions,
but we can DO great deal more and our friends
in the country must not u labor, as this is a
great enterprise and requiring iof the completion
of the road from Canada Line TO Boston, some
thing like -Four Millions Of Dollars The amount
already subscribed will build the Road good dis
lance towards, but we can't stop our labors for
this enterprise, short Of Canada Line. We want
100000 mere from the country, and we must take
soon, or the b stonians will get ahead of US, and
have too large proportion of the stock.
