We have had two successive days of moist and
rainy weather, and the prospect of change for
the better is poor, indeed.
The steamer Columbus is still on shore below
Annapolis, where she was thrown on Wednes-
day night by the ice. Two steamers went down
yesterday to get her off, but found it impossible,
on account Of the floating ice. She will proba-
bly, be got off to- day.
The Rev. DR.. Roberts, of Baltimore, has been
elected to the chair OF obstetrics, in our Wash
ington University, and has accepted the appoint
ment. His well -known ability to fill the chair
with credit to himself and his native city, will
be admitted far and wide.

he was hosting, in the warehouse in which he
was engaged.

FALL AND WINTER PLOUGHING.


Stiff clays intended for spring crops should be plough
ed through the fall and winter: must be observed
not TO plough either when the ground is either wet or
very dry II ploughed at the right Time and submitted
to the action OF the FROST the texture of the soil will be
greatly Improved be easier work. produce better and
more grain. 1t is but candid however to state that stiff
cays ploughed when saturated with water become in,
tracabe and remain SO during the whole of the ensuing
season.
Having thus enumerated the things Of most mmedi-
ate attention, we will ask permission suggest to such
OF our patrons may have done So to lime their
lands II their land is thin, twenty five bushels to the
acre will be enough-if in moderate heart forty or fifty
: if strong land, well supplied with vegetable matter
they may put on sixty. seventy five hundred-but
they must bear this truth in mind it is INDISPENSABLE ne
cesSary t, sow clover seed all lined lands
In speaking of the benefits resulting from the appca
non Of lime, Mons Puris, of the most intelligent
writers upon the subject, says:
III would then result from all that has been said that
lime moes the texture Of the soil makes il more frable
-lnvgorates -renders it more permeable-gives it the
power 10 better resist moisture as well as dryness-hat
produces in the soil the humate of lime which encloses
powerful means of fertllity-that lime increase much
OF the energy of the soil and of plants to draw from the
atmosphere The volatile substances of which rlans are
composed oxygen hydrogen carbon and azote-that he
lined soil, in furnishing plants the lime which they
need, relieves the soil and plants from employing their
powers to produce it. and finally that lime promotes the
formation of fixed substances earthly or saline necessa
~ to veget4tiun.'
