GREAT FIRE IN BROOKLYN

The New York papers give tie following
account Of n great fire in Brooklyn, New
York, which broke out at | / o'clock last Sat,
nrtay night and was rot suhdued until
o'clock Saturday morning. Tie Journal Of
Commerce states that it ragged for six hours,

whole space lying within the bounds Of Hen
~, Orange, Concord, Liberty, and Nassau
streets, together with portions Of! blocks ~
ing beyond these limits, OH Washington,
Sands, Pineapple, Orange east Of Henry, and

the constant failure OF the cisterns and wells
which were relied on for supply of water.
The principal buildings burned ARE the
post Office, and Baptist, UniversnIist and
Methodist churches, and the Franklin bull
ding. The Baptist church, corner ofNassau
and Liberty street, was insured for BIB COO

loss. A large portion Of the furniture was
saved in damaged state. The Metht dist
church, located between Sands and High

THE ELECTION.

We present TO our readers, to-day, full re-
turns of members of the House and Senate; al.
so nearly full returns Of the votes for State
officers.
The Wing vote is nearly as large as it was
last year, but there is no choice of Governor,
&c To choose State officers in the primary
election would be altogether out of fashion in
Vermont 1t has not been done for scveral
years past.
The loco vote has fallen of some thousands.
The diversion from the locoroco party has
been large in favor of the Van Buren, party
stimulated, 20 great extent, simply with dc.
sire to defeat the Whigs and il will be as per-
manent as the interests Of the party may seem
to render il cxpcdent, and no more. So long
as the cause of Gen. Cass and locofocoism in
general can be su5served,s so long,nnd no long

to relieve their conscicnccs, in part, of the
guilt Of having voted for Texas, the Mexican
war and the extension Of slavery, left their old
party relations. They would have acted wis
cr G. better had they but voted with the wings,
who have;avcr been for rccsoil,& nothing else.

members Of the House, as correctly as we are
able to do While the House is more equally
balanced than our first returns indicated il
might be, the Senate is strongly Wing
Some of the members IF the House, marked

The papers opposed to the wings mark some
such so, We are confident, some who would

heads, as to vote for Van Buren,, or otherwise
than with the Wings.
We are glad to be able 10 record another
Wing victory in Vermont, won in the face Of
all sorts of bargains and intrigues, got up be-
fore election to defeat us and our principles.

DitChiDg and Draining,

Among the various modes of bringing bog
lands into English, ditching will often be found
to be the cheapest and best. The weeds and
brakes and wild grass usually grow on an uneven
surface which the fires that are set do not make
smooth, And when gravel OF sand is not handy
it is costly carting them on the central parts of
meadows to cover up the old rubbish and roots
Nowif the bottom is peat and can be easily
dug, it is less labor to throw up matter from
bitches than to cart it from distance This
peaty matter may be dug in August or Septem,
Der and be suffered to lie till next summer
Then spread it over the surface and mix what
high land soil you choose with it to make pro-
per bed for the reception of the grass seed.
The bitches may be dug at distance of four
rods from each other, and if they are made four
feet wide and three feet deep, the mud will 90 a
great way towards covering the whole surface
between them.
If it is afterwards discovered that the bitches
are too nigh each other and the meadow too dry
it will be quite an easy matter to fill them up par
TALLY from the cheeks or edges of the banks, anC
let the bitches be so shaped as to permit the grass
to grow on the sloping sides near the bottom
Or every other ditch may be filled up with tn
loose matter that is usually found on land that ha
been recently cleared.
We know that in many cases the surface ma
be made even in this way at less cost than it cal
be BY esEtiue earth from distaHes YET We Od

nit that portion of earth mixed with this mud is
better for the grass than any clear peat mud that
we find in these bogs.
In many cases the mud is so rich that many
harvests Of grass may be obtained without any
barn yard manure. And in case there is good
supply of ashes left after burning the cleared
ground, they will be found to aid materially the
first crops; for nothing is better to be mixed with
peat mud than the various kinds of ashes that are
made from wood or frcm peat
When meadows need but little draining. and
when highland earth lies near by, it is often best
to smooth the surface of the meadow by cutting
the Dogs and hassocks down IS close as may be-
Then an OK cart load Of earth will be found suf-
licient to cover a square rod of ground The
cost of covering with earth, in such cases, will
not be great; and as long a time shall last, this
mixture Of highland earth with the peaty matter
of the meadow will prove servceable Top,
dressings will be needed OCCASIONALLY but no
more earth from the highland till it may be found
necessary to use the plough.
When the meadow is high, and hard enough to
bear team, it will be generally best TO plough
and subdue by planting for a year or two. Pota.
toes succeed well on such ground and when a
decent crop Of these can be raised, the cost Of
subduing and preparing for grass is trAng-
PIOa0man.
