The FARMERS CREED. We believe in
small farms and thorough cultivation. The soil
loves to eat as well as its owner, and should be
nurtured
We believe in large crops, which leave the
land better than they found it-making both the
farm and the farmer rich at once.
We believe in going 10 the bottom OF things,
and therefore in deep ploughiug, and enough OF
it-a the better If with a subs0iI
We believe that the best fertility of the soil is
the spirit OF industry, enterprise, and intelli-
gence; without this, time and gypsum, bones
and green manure, mari, or plaster, will be OF
but little use.
we believe IN good fences, good barns, good
iarm houses, good stock, and good orchards
We believe in clean kitchen, a neat wife in
IT, spinning piano, clean cupboard, dairy and
conscience.
we hrmly disbelieve in farmers that will not
improve In farms that grow poorer every year ;
IN starved cattle in farmers boys becoming
clerks and merchants in farmers daughters un.
wiling to work and in all farmers who are
ashamed Of their vocation.

TRIAL OF A SLAVE FOR MURDER slave
named Richard was recently tried at Char lesion
for killing another slave named Maria The
slave was acquitted, on the ground, as we infer
from the account, that the blows struck by him
and which resulted in the death of the victim,
were inflicted by direction of his mistress The
Court held that wherever a slave in the presence
and command of his owners committed an un-
lawful act, as murder or other crime, he was the
mere instrument of bis owners cruelty, and hav-
ing no will of his own, could not be amenable TO
the punishment of the law. In all such cases the
owner was to be regarded as the guilty party, and
upon him the vlndicatory part of the law must
fall. The mistress is yet to be tried for killing

are pleased TO note the very forward state Of az
fairs on board this splendid mail packet
They were taking in supply of coal yester-
day, and making active preparations for the trial
trip, which will take place during the early part

no doubt have full complement on the day of

feeling which has been cvinced in her favor
among the travelling community, we shall not
be much out of the way in saying that her splen-

Minister to France, is among the number who
have engaged passage.
