RAILRoADs.-There can be no question as
10 the beneficial effects OF the railroads upOu
agriculture generelly. They practically place
the country farmer upon par with the cui-
tvator in the neighhOrhood Of the city; and
the evidence OF this fact is TO be observed in
the fact that never so many farms " here oil
cred for sale in the immediate vicinity OF BOs-
ton, as since the construction Of roads con
verging to that city, while the lands of The in
terror. upon the several routes, are proportion
ably deprecated in value. With a railroad
communication to Boslon.every article oipro-
duce would have known uniform cash
value, and instead Of lying six or eight months
on hand, and being blown upon and refused,
even in exchange for tape & buckram, would
be sought for, at prices barely below the city
market. A fat OK for instance instead Of being
sold at price to allow the drover two hun
dred pounds for shrinkage, may be put on
board the car and sent down to Brighton
while the farmers corn is yet uudiscsted IN
his NAV.
And then again. how strikiugly the pre-
dictiors of croakers have been falsifed in re-
gard 10 horses. Railroads, il WAS said. would
cut up teaning and s;ageing, and destroy the
market for horses. The result shows that
more staging and teaming is employd IN con-
veyina passengers and freight to and from
the railroad, then was before required upon
the whole thoroughiare ITSELF and as TO holses,
the demand for them has steadily increased
with the progress ofrOads and their attendant
improvements, until at this moment, they are
more eagerly sought for, command better
! prices. than at any former period within oui

A DOCTOR AND HIS LIZARDS

Mr.. Thurlow Weeds last letter from San
Ia Cruz to the Albany Evening Journal, re-
iates the following marvellous incidents i'll
notice of visit to the estate of Doct. Ste
phens:
While enjoying our Segars under a bIoad-
spreading Tamarind Tree, the Lizards came
down as usual, TO keep the Mosquitoes away
from their Protector. The Doctors kindness
for animals has developed instincts and awak-
ened affections that would not discredit
race intellectually endowed. His beautiful
fan-taied Pigeons, when he returns from
town, come with their greetings TO his Car
riage. and perch upon his shoulders. Ills
Lizards Jump from the trees into his hands.
4 year or two since, several of the Off
GERS of the L. S. Ship Potomac. with two
gentlemen residing here, were AT breakfast
with the Doctor. Il huge Lizard that hau me
misfortune TO lose its tail by some casuaity,
marched into The room, and up TO the Doc
ter with the dismernbered limb in its mouth !
This looks, ! confess, too much like IKE
markable Snake Story" but it is. ncverthe-
less, a well authenticated fact. The manned
reptile under the influence o. instinct highly
excited, sought relief from the hand by which
it had been fed and cherished. The Doctor
himself regards the circumstance as tribute
to his skill in Surgery.
The unrcasoniug species are not alone.
however, in their appreciation of Doct. Ste
phens' Medical services. lie performed, at
an early day, with entire success, some OF the
most difficult surgical operations. Ills writ
ings upon Yellow Fever, Scurvy, &C., won
for him the highest Medical honOrs that Eu-
rope confers. He was one Of the three emf
men, physicians upon whom Degrees were
conferred upon the occasion of Lord yelling
tens installation of Chancellor of Oxford u
University. He is now devotinS himself to in
vcstisations of the highest interest touching
the Phenomena of Life, which i'll his judy
ment, prove, lst. That the action of the body
is regulated by some power or agency other
than the brain; 81. That there is a living, vita
agent. independent of, and 50 far as muscular
action is concerned, superior to the mind
and Cd. That in Man, and in the higher or
der of Animals, the principle of life is seated
in the solar gangon, from which the nervOu:
system or machinery draws its power of mo-
ton, and by which it is propelled and govern
ed.

THE WINDS OF SPRING.
By EDWARD PoLLoCB

BIZ EDWARD POLLOCK.
They come, they come from their southern
home,
Where the sun shines ever fair,
On islands that rise from the ocean foam
In beauty strange and rare;
They come, and their low sweet song heal
Through the bending branches ring.
For the MINISTRIES who sing for the youthful
year,
Are the balmy winds of Spring.
Gone are the shades of wintry night,
And the wintry storms have gone,
As laden with song and life and light,
The winds OF Spring come on;
And round the old arbor, with tiny arms,
The clustering wild flowers cling
Aud the blushing rose dons her fairest charms,
As she bends in the winds of Spring.
The skies look glad, and the fields rejoice
With a noiselesS minsrelSy,
And the streamlet laughs, with merry voice,
As it hasIens away TO the sea;
And the exil'd bird of some far-olf shore,
As she plumes her dropping wing.
Sings gladly her native strain once more,
To welcome the winds offspring.
On, on they go, with their noiseloss sweep,
Over mountain and valley, away!
Tanning the shore of the hmitless deep,
And kissing the bounding spray;
And lands of beauty that none may see,
And many strange brig Int thing,
Shall smile glad welcome, joyfully,
To the baImy winds Of Spring.

The Madisonian says that every fine after
noon, at Washington, Mr.. ex- Secretary Bibb,
who dresses punctiliously according to the
old STYLE, in black clothes, low crowred hat,
silk stockings aud short breeches, Is TO be
seen walking off very briskly to what all who
have been in that city know TO be the long
bridge. Here he changes his walking staff
into fishing rod, with tackle complete, and
after taking from his capacious brecches
pocket tobacco box filled with angle worms,
seats himself on the rough pier, and hobs with
astonishing patience for anything below, from
bull minnow TO ponderous cat fish.
Judge Bib was not accounted very wise
Secretary Of the Treasury, but he may be a
skilliul angler, and we can easily imagine that
his change of employment affords him album
dant pleasure. The clear stream Potomac
may have charms for quiet old gentleman,
which he could never enjoy while dabbling in
the turbid, angry waters Of political life; and
it must be less trying, ii not more innocent,
TO bait for suckers and perch, than to be bait
ed by ravenous brood of Office seekers
While seated On the rough pier Of the long
bridge he is in no danger from sharks; but in
the Treasury Department they swarmed abou
him, like eels about the carcass of drowned
puppy; and if be is destined to ''bob," day
