lasting pasture than does clover alone,
and may be said to be a measurably
earlier grass, while it grows much later
in the Fall, and as hay, when mixed
with clover, from its greater substance
is better for ruminating animals than
clover hay alone. OF Timothy seed, a
peck and half per acre should be
sown. Of Herds grass or Red Top,
bushel to the acre is the proper guam
tity. If Orchard grass seed be sown
alone, two bushels per acre is about
the right quantity. Of Lueerne, 90
lbs. per acre is the right quantity. In
the selection Of Lucerne seed, care
must be taken to get it fresh, as seed
more than a year old is very shy in
coming up. Lvcerne seed by the bye,
should always be soaked in warm wa
ter for few hours before being sown,
and as taken out ofthe soak and drain
ed it should be rolled in plaster or ashes.
Orchard grass seed should also be
sprinkled with water on barn floor,
turned over repeatedly as to moisten
the whole mass, and left few hours,
before it be sown.
Hauling out Manure.-As this is a
work of much labor and one which re-
qulres much time, we would advise all
to seize the first occasion to haul it to
the field where may be wanted, and
in order to prevent the loss of the fer
tilizing gases, would recommend that
plaster Of paris in the quantity of one
bushel to every twenty loads of the
manure be mixed wilhit before removal.
If the quantity of manure which you
may have accumulated through the
past season is not sufficient to 20 over
your hoe and plough crops, 60 TO your
woods, scrape up the leaves and wood.
mould. mix these with your other ma
nure, and thereby enable yourself to
manure every foot Of ground that you
may intend for corn, as it is useless to
worry your hands and beasts. with cuI.
tivating corn on poor and unmanured
lands.
OdtS.--So soon as the frost is out OF
it, and the ground which you intend for
oats is dry enough to bear ploughing,
put all your force to work to break it
up-harrow and roll it, then let it re-
main for a week so as to let the ground
settle before you sow your oats, as they
thrive best when the soil is com pact.
Whether you plough or harrow them
in, take especial care to see that the
roller be freely used, in order that the
Garth may be thoroughly pressed around
the seed, and termination thus ensued.
1t would be well, too, to sow bushel
of plaster and one OF ashes, over every
acre of them-the first will provide food
from the air for the growing plants,
while the latter will dissolve the sand
and thus form the silicate of potash,
which enables the stem to resist the
pressure of wind and weather.--Amer-
ican Farmer.

Bile idea of the weather in the winter
season. He says that while encamped
in his winter quarters, when the Their
mometer was at seventy below zero,he
made some curious experiments on the
effect and intensity of the cold on sui
phuric and nitric ether and pyroligne-
GUS acid. The effects produced by the
cold, when the thermometer was ONE
HUNDRED AND TWO DEGREES below the
freezing point, are thus described in his
journal:
"Such, indeed, was the abstraction
of heat, that with eight large logs Of
wood in the fire place of small room,
l could not get the thermometer higher
than 19 deg. plus. Ink and point froze.
The sextant cases and boxes of season
ed wood, principally fir, all split. Nor
was the sensation particularly agreea-
Bile to our persons; the skin Of the hands
especially, became dry, cracked and
opened into unsightly and smarting
gashes, which we were obliged TO
anoint with grease. On one occasion,

feet Of the FIRE, my hair was actually
clotted with ice before had time to
dry it. From these facts some idea
may, perhaps, be formed Of the exces-
sive- cold. 1t seemed to have driven
all living things from US; we had been
accustomed to see a few white part
ridges about, but even these, hardy as
they are, had disappeared. Once, in
deed, a solitary ravan, whose croak
made me run out to look at him, swept
around the house, but Immediately win

GOLD WEATHER.

We have sometimes tolerably cold
weather in this climate. When the
mercury in the thermometer is as low
as zero, we are apt to pronounce it ac-
tually cold,and talk familiarly of Green
land, the frigid zone, icebergs and Spitz-
bergen. But after all, this is a mere
bagatelle, compared with the weather
in the frigid zone. Ledyard, the cele-
brated traveller, who traversed some
of the dreary regions Of Russia, in a
letter from Siberia, gave the following
shivering description of the weather in
that quarter Of the globe;
You haye no idea Of the excessive
cold in the region. of Siberia. BY ex-
periments that made at Yakusky,
found on the 10th Of November the
mercury in my thermometer frozen.
In December | found, by repeated OBJ
servations, that two ounces of clear
quicksilver, openly exposed, froze hard
in fifteen minutes. | observed that in
these severe frosts, the air was conden-
sed, as it is with you in thick fog
the atmosphere is frozen-respiration
is fatiguing, &c, 1t is happy law OF
nature, that in such intense cold there
is seldom any wind-when there is it is
dangerous to be abroad. There are no
wells at Yakusky; forit is found by ex-
pertinent that the water freezes at six
ty feet deep. People of these regions
are therefore obliged to use ice and
snow. They have also ice windows;
glass is Of no use to the few who have
it; the difference in the state of the air
within and without, is SO great that the
glass is covered on the inside with
several inches OF frost, and in that sit
uation it is less luminous than ice, =

WORK FOR SPRING.

In the parlarce Of pugiIists, it is said,
that the s'first blow is half the battle, )"
and if this old sdw holds good in the
philosophy of the ring, it may be affirm
ed with equal truth, that, in all the op-
erations ofagriculture, whetherin plant
ing or farming, to begin right, at the
right time, greatly tend to improve the
chances OF success, as well as to lessen
the labors of the field. If it be asked,
how we are to begin right? the answer
is at hand. Always be ahead of your
work. Never delay that which should
be done to-day until tomorrow. New
er plough your grounds unless they be
Lin good condition, and be sure never to
let an opportunity when they are so to
pass unimproved. Get your several
crops in at the proper periods. Be sure
to have your grounds well ploughed,
rolled, and narrowed, until they be re-
duced to the finest state of tilth of which
they may be susceptible. Plough. deep.
Sow and plant good seed. Keep your
hoe and plough-crops clean from the
period of their up-coming until they are
laid by. Be not ambitious to spread
your cultivation over untold acres, but
rather let 1t be your pride to manure
well what you cultivate. Make the ac-
cumulation of manure the main branch
OF your system, and when accumulated
protect it from the effects OF deteriora-
ton fromexposure TO the sun and rains.
Keep on hand at all times an ample
supply of the best tools and implements
Of husbandry, and be sure that they are
always in good order and never expos
ed to injury from the weather. He
that follows these plain common sense
rules to the letter and in the spirit will
nine times out of ten succeed, unless
indeed the elements conspire against
him and destroy the best directed ex.
ertisns. And under this beliefwe will
proceed to point out few of the many
things which should now be looked to.
Sowing Of Grass Seeds.--As we are
among those who deem that no system
of husbandry can be perfect that does
not keep a due proportion of the farm
in grass, we will remind our readers
that every field in wheat or rye should
be sown with clover, although i may
not be intended to LEI it remain in grass

ELEGANT SKETCH.

The landing of the Pilgrims appears
to have been celebrated in all direc-
tons. At New Orleans, Mr.. Prentiss
delivered an eloquent address, from
which we make the following extract:
rGlorious N. England: thou art still
true to thy ancient fame and worthy
Of thy ancestral honors. We thy chill
dren, have assembled in this far distant
land to celebrate thy birth day. A
thousand fond associations throng up-
on us, reused by the spirit of the hour.
On thy pleasant vallies like sweet dews
Of morning, the gentle recollections
of our early life; around thy hills and
mountains cling like gathering mists
the mighty memories Of the revolution;
and far away in the horizon Of the past
CLEAN, like thy own bright Northern
Lights, the awful virtues of our own
Pilgrim sires! But while we devote
this day to the remembrance Of our na-
tive land, we forget not that in which
our happy lot is cast. We exult in the
reflection that though we count by
thousands the miles which separate US
from our birth place, still our country
is the same. We are no exiles, meet
ing upon the bank Of foreign river,
to swell its waters with our home-sick-
tears. Here floats the same banner
which rustled above our boyish heads,
except that its mighty folds are wider,
and its glittering stars increased in
number.
The sons of New England are found
in every State of the broad Republic.
In the East, the South, and the unboun-
ded West, their blood mingles freely
with every kindred current. We have
but changed our chamber in the pater-
nal mansion; in all its rooms we are at
home, and all who inhabit it are our
brothers. To us the Union has but
one domestic hearth; its household gods
are all the same. Upon US, then, Pc
culiarly devolves the duty of feeding
the fires upon that kindly hearth; Of
guarding with pious care those sacred
household Is. We cannot do with
less than the whole Union; to US it adj
mits of no division. In the veins four
children flows northern and southern
blood; how shall it be separated; who
shall put asunder the best affections of
the heart, the noblest instinct of our ma
ture3 We love the land of our adop.
tion, so do we that Of our birth. Let
US ever be true to both; and always
exer: ourselves in maintaining the util-
ity of our country, the integrity of the
Republic. Accused then, be the hand
put forth to loosen the golden cord of
union; thrice accursed the traitore lips,
whether ofnorthern fanatic or southern
demogogue, which shall proposeits sew
erance.

REV. G.. Il. TORREY.

To The editors Of the North american IL
to see that your baltimore corrcspon-
dent should have made so many errors in his
short paragraph to you, relative TO Mr.. Tor
He should not have echoed the remarks
OF the correspondent of the Boston Atlas,
without first making very careful inquiries
as to their truth. He says, that Mr.. Torrey
is, contrary to expectation, recovering his
health" This is anything but true. went
to Baltimore last Friday, for the express pur-
pose of seeing Mr.. Torrey, and to confer with
friends there in relation to his case. l went
to the Penitentiary on Saturday morning, and
before seeing Mr.. Torrey, | had an interview
with DR.. Charles B. Gibson, the physician
CT the prison. To the first question which |
asked, "How is Mr.. Torrey I" his answer
was Uerbatim, " He is growing weaker and
weaker every day." He then stated many
of his symptoms-his constant fever-pro-
fuse night sweats-his cough and expectora-
tion-and lastly his diarrhea, which he Or.
Gibson) was doing all he could to check
and he further remarked, "he cannot last
long"
Your correspondent further remarks, he
is by no means pleased with the determine
ton of Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Cleveland toap-
propriate the money obtained for his release
for other purposes" After finishing my con-
versation with DR.. Gibson, | went to the hos
pital to see Mr.. Torrey. There he was lying
on his little pallet, pale and emaciated, and
too clearly in the last stages OF consumption.
He was rejoiced to see me, and | sat with
him one hour, the warden Of the prison being
all the time present.
After some conversation about his health,
and his spiritual exercises, | remarked to him
what had been published in the Boston At
las-that he was much displeased with the
course taken by Messrs. p. and c., in rela-
ton to himself. He replied, 81 have said
nothing that would justify such remarks. l
said, however, that it might have been better
to have awaited the sitting of the Court in
Prince Georges county," las the Governor
would there meet the slaVeholding ~interest)
"but | did not know i have no means of
forming a judgment in the matter as Messrs.
p. and C.. have; | have the fullest conf
dence in their judgment, and that all they
do will be for the best" SO much for his
being I" displeased."
On my saying that the money which has
been pledged, not obtained as your correspon-
dent has it, would not be appropriated to
other purpoSes,' indefinitely, as your cores
pendent again has it, but invested as a fund
for his wife and children, when he should be
no more, tears of gratitude and Joy filled his
eyes, and his expressions of pleasure at what
would be thus done, were as strong as his
feeble voice and frame would allow.
asked him, if he was ready "to depart,
and be with Jesus" so yes, o YES" was
his emphatic answer, so expressed as to
show, that it came from the very depths OF
his soul.
AS you may suppose, the case of Torrey is
exciting a deep and quite extensive sympathy
in Baltimore. TRUTH.
