AGRICULTURAL.
CULTURE OF SPRING GRAINS.

Spring Whedt-There are many sections
where spring wheats are the only varieties
which can be cultivated to advantage. In
all places where snow accumulates TO a
great depth, the success Of winter wheat is
rendered uncertain, owing 10 its liability OF
being winter killed.
Preparation ofhe SOIL quantity of seed,
and time Of so1ring.-Spring wheat is usually
cultivated on land that has been occupied the
preceding year by some hood crop-corn,
potatoes, &c. Where there is no danger OF
the attack Of the fly which works in the head,
the Cecidonlyia tJitici, it is best 10 SOW the
crop as early as the state oflhe ground will
admit,or as soon as il is fairly free from frost.
One good blowing is sufficient-in fact we
have known excellent crops produced by
| working the ground thoroughly with cult
vator harrow, the feet or teeth of which pen
citrate the ground and pulverize it 10 the
depth OF several inches. Manure is not usu-
ally applied TO this crop. Long or unfer-
mented manure tends TO rust the straw, and
on this account it is only applied TO the crop
OF the previous year, and then it becomes so
far decomposed as 10 be in proper state for
| the wheat. The seed il usually sown on the
furrow, and well narrowed IN. The quanti-
ty sownpe acre, is generally two bushels.
Vdritties-The kinds held in the greatest
estimation in this country, are the Black sea,
Italian, and the sea wheat.-Of these, the
Black Sea is the most hardy, and generally
gives The best yield. This valuable variety
was first brought into notice in this country
by Payson Williams, Esq, of Fitchburg,
Mass, some twenty-five years since. and it
has now become widely disseminated. The
yield Of this variety varies of course with the
soil and season. but perhaps 20 bushels per
acre may be said TO be an average crop Of
medium soils. We have often known up
wards OF thirty bushels grown per acre, and
in few instances have seen well authentica-
ted statements Of so bushels per acre having
been produced.

~ The verdict ofacquittal in the case Of
TfrreL at Boston. has been received with
mingled amazement and Indignation by the
public, and is universally regarded as giving,
so far as a single verdict can. perfect impu-
nifty to crime. Murder is no longer punish
able offence. if the decision of the Boston
jury is TO be regarded as just. The evil con-
sequences Of such verdict are incalcula-
Bile.
What folly, says the Albany Argus, TO
send all the way to New-Orleans to arrest a
fugitive, fleeing from justice. Ofcourse Ifr-
reH must be acquitted of the attempt 10 fire
the house, because if the frail but murdered
victim committed the act upon herself, she
afterwards, no doubt, set fire TO the house
One conclusion is probable as the other
With the same jury probably the black, Free
man, would find loop-hole Of escape, some
legal flaw, or possibly sonlnambuliSnl! The
moral guilt in his case-with triple murders
on his heads no greater than that of tile
murderer of Mrs. Bickford. To be sure,
there is this difference; Freeman has no
moneyed and influential connections. All
these things serve to bring the course justice
into contempt-or worse.

LATER FROM TEXAS-THE ARMY
OF OCCUPATION.

from Brassos St. lago with the following
items of news from the Army of Occupation

The Army of Occupation, numbering III

On the appearance Of the fleet, the Cap

by order of Gen. Taylor. The buildings
destroyed were Of little value, being con-
structed of logs, :hached with straw.
The thousand and tens Of thousands OF the
enemy who have been reported as in readi
ness 10 dispute the march of Gen. Taylor's
army, seem to have entirely disappeared up
on his approach. The only opposition ex-
perienced by the Army of Occupation was
first atthe Little Colorado, where a Next
car officer with about 160 mounted men
threatened 10 fire upon Gen. Taylor if he at

such we're his positive orders, and that Wer-

been previously made by party Of 30 or 60,
who having met me army in the Prairie, in

THE SUBTREAsURY SCHEME.

about as party principle, an item in the list
Of party dogmas; but, after the unequivocal
condemnation which the pui c voice pro
nounced on it in 1910, it had ceased to be
regarded as an evil likely again 10 be brought
upon the business of the country. 1t is true,
indeed, that bill, substantially the same

through the House of Representatives in
such hot haste, was Introduced by the same
gentleman who fathers the present enact

The business community, only confirmed the
belief that it had been put down forever.
No wonder, then, as we have said, that its re-
apparition a few days ago in the Halls of
Congress, and the railroad speed with which
it was forced through one House, have star
tied the whole community with an astoash-
ing sense ofimpending evil. Business of all
kinds seems to have experienced a sudden
check. In our great commercial mari, where
every measure Of policy affecting trade and
the various concerns ofinterchanse and ex-
change throughout the wide extent Of our
land, is instinciively understood in all its bear
ings and natural results, the effect Of the re-
cent action of the House may be seen from
The following:
The n. York Express SAYS: Stocks con-
'tinue TO decline, owing TO the alarm created
by the passage of the Subtreasury. There
is quite sensitiveness in the money mar
'ke,.'
The Journal Of Commerce says: There is
"a real panic in the street to-day on account
of the Subueasury. Even the Oregon war
has lost its terrors in comparison of this
monster with his iron chests. Stocks have
still further declined. and the tendency is
quite in favor Of further decline
The Morning Telegraph says: AT the
present moment there is general fear per-
vadins the business portion of this commu
nifty, lest the line OF measures about to be
adopted with regard TO the public moneys
will carry widespread ruin with it. We
trust not; but the very doubt, caused by the
constant introduction of new measures, is al
most as fatal as the catastrophe anticipated.
No one knows now W hat is best to be dor c.
