MEXIUAN AGnE,UITrwr, SC.

a correspondent of the St, Louis
Republican gives a description of
the agricultural implements in Mex
leo, which will be double IS interest
ing to our farmers, by showing what
miserable tools Mexican can work
with. Below we copy some Of these
descriptions, as well as the manner
in which they sow their grain.
PiotcS, HAyr0CS ami SoWing Uheat
Riding on the 10th of December,
up the valley in which Parras is sit
uated, | came to field where they
were sowing wheat. The sower was
sowing the wheat broadcast on the
unplowed ground. Twcnty-three
plows followed each other on the
same land, blowing the wheat in
continuance for harrow levelled
the ground after the plows. Each
pillow was drawn by two oxen. The
iplows were the same pattern used
by the Romans two thousand wears
since. They were made of the fork
of small tree, one prong of which
answered for tie beam, and was cut
long enough to fasten the oxen to {;
the other was cut of about four feet
long, and sharpened at the end, and
a single stick fastened into the fork
and projecting back, made the han
die. This was the whole plow-
lock, stock and barrel. When a
forked stick cannot be found, the
short stick is morticed into the long
one. The short prong was the coul-
ter-the long one the beam. This
was fastened by raw-hidc thong to
the oxyoke, which, in turn, was fast
ened in front of, and to the horns of
the oxen, by conference.-the thong,
The handle was held by person
who was armed in the other hand
with a long pole, with sharp goad
in the end of it, which he unsparing-
ly plunged into the oxen to quicken
their speed, or to change their d.
rection.
Some of the better plows have the
coulter shod with piece of iron re-
sembling a bull tongue, eight inches
long, and tapering from thence to
two inches at the point, This is the
greatest Improvement made upon
the plow.
The ground is never thoroughly
broken up, and is only scratched in
to burrows few inches deep. Ef.
forts have been made TO introduce
better plows, and some have been
brought from the United States
But the Mcxicans did not like to use
them. They were soon broken OF

"Our turn comes now - said the
hunter who had remained with me
taking up his post at the sight of the
two biSons, who, intent on the pur-
suit of the horse and its rider, came
towards LIS at an unsteady pace
whilst the rest of the flock, deprived
of its two leaders, took flight among
the hills. We threw ourselves on
our stomachs on the sloping bank OF
the river and awaited the two cibo-
los, who, discouraged, stood still for
a second, believing with rage, and
tearing the ground with their horn.
The buccaneer then shook violently
the scarlet handkerchief at the end
Of his stick. At sight of the detest-
ed color, the two animals seemed to
salute with ferocious JOY an OBJ ect
which at least did not fly from their
attack: they sprung towards us.
Joaquin had ridden off; his part was
played.
1t would be difficult to form an
idea of the terrific aspect of the
wounded bison. At each movement
streams Of blood poured from him,
dyeing the waves of his black name ::
a bloody foam REDEEMED his nostriIS,

came gradually nearer to us. The
other bison preceded him, gazing
with his stupid and ferocious eyes
at the handkerchief, which the
breeze of the river alone stirred !; for
the hunter had, like myself, his rife
in his hand. A minute more, and
we should have had to defend our
selves from these two irritated
beasts. Fortunately, few seconds
later the wounded bison fpll heavily
and expired.
"Fire :" exclaimed the hunter.
Hit on The head by three bullets,
the other bison stopped, fell, and
struck against the earth, almost at
the top of the bonl, which protected
us. Joaquin trotted up to US, cool,
and smiling like the horseman in the
ring, who has been displaying all the
qualities Of his horse. lie examined
the last fallen cibolo.
"You have lodged your two bull

not amiss for a beginner. For my
part, will never hunt the bison
again except on horseback"

an article of dress at the north. Our
hero was in a dilemma--what to call
it, or for what purpose it was used,
he did not know. But one thing he
did know, and that was that it was
any thing but polite for gentleman
to allow lady to bear such a bur
then. He scrutinized it with much
uneasiness for some time-he could
not divine what it contained, but he
was perfectly familiar with the ~kiv-

his gallantiy, lie EXTENDED his hands,
saying,

"Thank You, sir-don't trouble
yourself" replied Miss Julia, blush
ing very red.
"Oh, 'taint no trouble in the
least % replied our hero, insisting on
relieving her Of her burthen.
The merry girl at last consented,
rather than enter into so embarrass-
ing an explanation; and taking the
muff under one arm, our hero offered
the other to his fair companion, with
whom he marched boldly along the
avenue to the capitol to the no small
wondcrment of the passing crowd.
1t is needless to add that he soon
discovered his mistake, or that he
has from that hour held all ladies'
muhs in utter adherence.

she wondered she did not hear the

Another night size said she saw
two great black shaggy dogs, which
she thought were neighbor Hewett's

by their names, they stood upon
their hipd legs, and looked hard at
her, but did not come near, and soon
went away into the wood, and SHE
knew they were dogs, for that night
she heard them bowling. In all
probability these animals were bears,
for the woods abounded with these
animals, and the stream the hunter
had crossed bore the name of Bear

arose from wolves; but her innocent
heart knew no fear. The day after
this she found herself near DESERT

stood was overgrown with strawber-

she remained, picking The berries,
and sleeping beneath its sheltering
roof at night. She led the hunter to
her solitary hat, where he proposed
leaving her whilst he went in search
of help to convey her home, or to
some dwelling house; but the little
creature chung to him with passion
ate weeping, and implored him so
pathetically not TO leave her again
alone in the dark lonely forest, that
his heart was not proof against her
entreaties, and though weary with
his own wandering, he took the lit

circumstances occurred -
A young gentleman who had been
out for some days on hunting or
shooting excursion, reached the
banks of Bear Creeks, which he was
DESTROYS of crossing, being anxious
to make his way home before night
fall. TO his disappointment, the log
bridge which he had passed the day
before had been carried away by the
current, which happened 10 be very
strong in that place. Remembering,
however, having noticed fallen
tree across the stream lower down,
lie pursued his way. Just as he
reached the spot, and was preparing
to cross, his ear was attracted BY
the sound Of two steps upon the dr.
sticks; the sound was accompanied
by a coutious rustling movement a.
mong a thicket of raspberrics that
covered the opposite space. With
the alertness of a sportsman, antici-
pating a shot at deer or bear, his
finger rapidly found its way to The
lock of his rifle and while his keen
eye was wariIy fixed on the bushes.

HEROES OF THE LAND or PENN.

A Curious VERD1cr.-A strange verdict
has been rendered in Ireland under the fol-
lowing circumstances: An inquest was held
recently in Galway in the workhodse, upon
the body of mendcant, and the jury rem
dersd the opinion thus: We think that the
deceased came 10 his death by exhaustion
and misery, caused by the want Of the ne
csssaries Of life; and as Lord John Russell,
head of her Majss,y's Government, and slr
Randolph Reuth, by not taking the neces-
sary measures TO prevent famine and to save
Ireland from the deplorable situation in
which she now finds herself, have contribu-
ted TO the distress Of the Irish nation, 'ce
think that tho said Lord John Russell and
the said Sir Randolph are guilty Of w'lful
murder upon the person Of the deceased
Tue Coroner refused tho verdict thus rem
derod; but thd jury would not consent to
change it except upon constralat, and It was
declared that the deceased died efwant aud
the severity of the season.
