SOWING CLovEa SEED.-As we arc among lhoso who believe, that no land can be preserved ;n a stlte of fertility, without the system of culture embraces clover within its economy, as we'll for tur- ming in, as for food for stock, we adviso all who may have wheat fields, eff they have not dono 0 already, to SOW thereon upon every acre, from l2 to l6 lbs of good clean clover seed; ....
 SJwIXa GaAss SEED So som as tho fros, is ont of the earth, and the ground sufficiently dry to be plow ed without in- jury, all kials of grass seeds may be sown-as Timothy, Herds grass, orch~ ard grars, Rye grass aud Llcerne. A practice prevails in sone parts of the coultry of sowing Tim ,thy and clover seed together. The practice wa think a bad one. Clover flowers are fit to cut several weeks heGo'e T.mothy, and is
 therefore ill suited to bs grown with it on tho sema field. We would always SO" 4tthothJ oSCu diouO, "tth iSSdt0 to ths qa unity of lho s2ed we would re- mtrk that loss lhan a peck per acre

From Me Edinburgh Rcuie,c. SURPRISING CASE.

Another experiment with the inhalation of ether was made in the Royal Infrmary yesterday, by Prof. Miller, and proved em
 neully successful.
 The patient was a middle aged Irishman, a navvy,' who had sustained compound fracture of the leg nine weeks before. The fracture had not united in consequence of the presence of dead piece of hone, and it became necessary to remove this by pain ful operation. The patient was seated on a table, and the initiation was applied by means of very simple yet beautiful appa- ratus, made by Squire, of London, and which, we understand, has been sent to Prof Miller by MT. Liston-a very suita- ble gift, under present circumstances, from that eminent surgeon to his old pupil. At first little effect was produced, but after some minutes the patient fell backwars, as if in swcon. The operator was then about 10 procced-but the man Immediately objected, saying that Le was not asleep, and that he trusted nothing would be done till he was asleep. For full twenty minutes more the inhalation went on--thc man confused and lalIativc, but wide awake, and occasionally expressing very emphatically his conviction that it would not do." At length, however while in this wakeful state the operation was begun. Inscisions were made on the skin, and flaps were dissecled of so far as to expose the bone beneath. A portion Of this was sawn and clipped through, and then the dead hone was removed. Only during the clipping of the bone with strong s,raining pliers did any sign of feeling es- cape from the patient, who was busy inha. ling all the while. and now and then proteS- ting that it wouldn't do." The operation occupied about ten miUates, and, from the highly sensitive nature of the parts implica- ted, must have been attended with excrucia- sing suffering under ordinary circumstances. After it was over, the professor said 10 the patient, |" I suppose you won't let me operate today" "Certai inly nol," said the patient, lit won't dol must be asleep. The thing hasn't succeeded with me, and am sure if can't succeed with any one else, for did every thing could to get asleep for my own sake, and FI do anything to please you" |" You won't even let me make cnt into the Ieg."

another time" This plain proof ofhiS tt ter unconsciousness of the operation hay ing been performed, was acknowledged by the operators in nearly round Of applause. The patient then sat up and seeing the wound, burst into an immoderate fit of laughter, saying, No doubt there's blood. or s'neshing very like it--but hayn't felt a single thing done to my leg. That bates the globe-and, on being asked decidedly as
 to his having felt any thing" hc repeat edly answered, Not ha porth'' He got into amazing spirits, and refused to leave
 the table until he told all about ,he tol. drums of the business," And then, with the manner of tipsy man, and very happy. he kept surgeons and students in roar of laughter for some minutes with a narrative of his condition during the inhalation, which, Irish like, seemed to have been a strange medley of imaginary fights, and "killinsS going on around him, bat wholly
 irrespective of his own leg and the operas ton. On being carried out, he declared
 trumphan,ly. "This is the very best thing that has ever happened in the three king dems." The professor stated that he con slderei this case quite conclusive as to the powers of the ether, because there was no more painful operation in all surgery, and because thepatient having been avowedly a hard and habitual drin!er of spirits, was one of those persons who are least snScep;i- ble of the ether'S influence, The whole proceedings seemed to give the greatest sat lStaclion 10 the medical and surgical off. cers of the institution, and 10 large as- sembage of interested spectators. Perhaps the most remarkable in such strange tale is, the circumstance of the man being so wide awake and talkative, while al! the while insensible to the cutting eff his limb.

SKETCH OF GEORGE THOMPSON,
 ESQ.

Few individuals who frequent popular assemblies have ID; listened with delight to this gentlcmln. For many years he has been prominent and influential ad voca,e of hum m rights, dauntless oppo- nent of oppression, bold vindica!or of reform, and q powerful pleader on behalf of Universal Peace, Temperance, Free . dom and F n ,ncipation. A brief sketch of this dls,ingnishe nun may therefore be highly acceptable to his friends and applau !crs.
 The personal appe,r,nce of Mr. T., is prepos>es,ing. H. is endowed with our ideal exterior of gentleman, scholar an orator, and moral champion. He has tall, spare, graceful form. His count1nancc is rather long, pleasant, ex- prcssive, and thoughtful. His foTeheal be,okens mental power of lotty order , i, is full, arched, and ample-and his voice is sof, rich, flexible, distinct, anj admirably adapted to impress and stir an
 
 audience. When he rises to deliver one of his splendid speeches, h' makes no preliminary flourish-no studied at'I'uieS no vain display-but introduces h's subjec, in modest, easy, agreeable man. ner, and then pro :eeds to narrate, argue and declaim. His narratives are clear, flowing, and eminsntly pictsrial-his ars gumen,s lucid, elaborate and logical, and his Reclamation always fluent, exciting, and impressive. His denunciations are frequently terrible. his wit polished, and his inaendoes highly humorous, And ho certainly has that essential talent-a pro found knowledge of human nature. IL may be justly recorded of him in his bi- ogTaphy-
 |. He studied from the life,
 And in the original perused mankind
 We would not say, however that the subject of our portrait possesses an in> ,e!leca of the very highes. order. IL is active, discriminating, and powerful, but
