me, the most subject % them, shall complain when
ever they eat thirty forty cherries before meals
or the like proportion Of strawberries, white fgs,
soft peaches, or grapes perfectly ripe After
Michaelmas spples-which, with cherries, are Of
all others the most innocent food, and perhaps the
best physic."

Agricultural Ode.

the Essex County Agricultural Fair, held
m. last week, the following original ode b
John PIERponT was sung by the choir
God of the rolling year,
We in thy courts appear,
Thy praise TO sing;
And for the golden store
That loads our threshlng floor,
And our cup running Ger,
Our tribute bring
Not for our brethren, slain
On the red battle plain,
Thy name we praise;
For, far more glorious
Is man laborious,
Than the victorious
Weaver of bays.
More than the sword or spear
Is the plough honored here;
It's work is thine;
Thine 10 prepare the ground,
Thine TO strew fruits around,
Thine TO make corn abound
All is divine.
God of the bounteous earth,
Shield us from blight and dearth,
Henceforth az now;
Let us all dwell in peace,
Our fiocks and herds increase,
And, till the seasons cease,
God speed the plough.

murder which was perpetrated in the neighbor-
hood of Shreveport on the day previous
II appears that Mr.. A. j. Lee and Sarah Lee. his
wife, who have for some time past been vending
liquors, groceries, &c, in Mugginsvile have been
addicted TO family brawls and contentious which
can be traced to the glaring green-eyed monster
Jealousy. Mrs. Lee was coming down in town to
institute suit against her husband, when she was
intercepted by him, who rushed out of a copse in
front OF her with double barrelled shot gun con
cealed by a Mexican blanket, and told her TO 90
back or he would kill her. Mrs Lee retreated To
Mr.. Holden's store, followed by Lee who delibe-
rately took the blanket off his gun and presented il
at her, but was prevented from firing by Mr. Hol
den, who ordered him out of his house
Lee then went round to the side window and shot
through it at Mrs L., distance of five or six feet
who Immediately. fell, being wounded by five or
six buckshot lie then returned 20 the front door
and discharged the other barrel, the contents en-
tering but few inches below the first This done
Lee took TO the woods, and, although every effort
was made to arrest him, he is still at large.
Mrs. Lee shot with some twenty five or thirty
buckshot in the left side and back. DR. Clark was
called in, who used all the art and skill in his pro-
fession to relieve her suffering, but she continued
TO decline until late yesterday evening, when VIC
last heard from her.
p. S.-Sincc the above put in type we have
heard that her case is considered more favorable
and there is a probability Of her recovery. From
sight we had of the wounds, we imagined she could
not survive twelve hours.

MEpITERRANEAN WHEAT.-A correspondent of
the Winchester (Va) Republican states that in that
part of Virginia the Mediterranean wheat escaped
rust better than any other variety. The wheat
crop of Washington county, Pennsylvania, it s
said was not more than half an average yield this
year, in consequence of rust. A good deal Of the
Mediterranean sown the past season in that
county, and, notwithstanding the damage done to
the other varieties, the Washington Reporter says

FRoM BRAzos AND THE RIO GRANDE-By the
arrival here, yesterday, of the steamship Globe
Captain Place, from Brazos Santiago the oath ult ,
we have received the Point Isabel Bulletin of the
nth, and the Brownsville Cenhnela of the 22d ult
We take the following from the Point Isabel Buue-
TIM. o. Delta, 3D..
Orders have been received for the fitting out of
expedition TO explore the waters Of the Upper Rio
Grande, and Com. Harry Love has been put in
command. The particular object of this enterprise
is to promote, by all possible means, the military
and commercial interests of our southwestern from
tier.
Major Giles Porter of the 4th artillery, has been
assigned To the command of the department of the
Lower Rio Grande, with Brovet Captain G. f.
Wooster as his acting assistant adjutant general.
The altitude of Fort Polk, Point Isabel,) il
twenty six feet above low water mark and the soil

into imaginary comparison with what the
more ardent genius of the ''sole organ"
would have composed, had such been the
case! And the Union informs us the Bal
timore convention would have done so, had
not the General intimated his Whiggery.
When we compare what the Union now
says of the President and what it might
have said, it is appalling to think how great
the distance from Philadelphia to Balti-
more-if the treasury lay between. In
view of the events which made General
TAYLOR desirable candidate for the Dem
ocratic party, his politics were acciden-
tai. How nigh, then, was he being to the
Union the great and good man of the age!
Should the Union, in brooding over this
fact, and rejecting upon what it would
have said of General TAYLOR but for his
being Wing, become sensible of the in
justice it has done him, OF grow sceptical
of the proprety and truth of its denuncia-
tions-if it should cease its libels and do
Justice to a soldier who has filled the
American people with joy, and flooded the
American arms with glory; if it should do
this, and straightway the senior editor
may once more laugh at "Reminiscences"
which are accommodating too fast for the
blythest diaphragm.

The HOME OF NATIoSs.--If TO another land be-
longs the proud title of MOTHER of NATIONS, upon
ours, in the dispensation of Providence has been
conferred the right TO claim another name equally
honorable--that of Home of the oppressed Of every
people. Never before in the history Of man, has
there exhibited the sublime spectacle of great
ton gladly receiving TO her bosom the children Of
of her laws, comforting upon them her imestimsble
civil privileges, and admitting them to full parti-
cipation in all the benefits of the most favored
of the soil.
Under no other form of government than that
which is the frecst upon earth could 50 expansive
bcncfcencc be INDUCED in with safety TO the State
but with republican institutions il is proved to
be- not merely consistent with the perpeuty Of the
Constitution, but TO form an important element in
our legitimate growth and progress toward that
high destiny that Is in store for our wide and glo-
rious Union.--O. s. Journal

LOUIS BoNAPARTE.-Thc Republican correspond
ent Of the Courier DIES Etdts- Unis, writing from
Paris, respecting the effect Of Bonaparte's policy
towards Rome, says:
"The Spartans prejudiced their children against
intoxicaton by exhibiting TO them slaves brutfed
by drink. II France had had for President great
man, or even one true and firm, perhaps our peo-
pie, always inclined 10 enthusiasm, might have been
seduced to pick up from the kennels Of Paris the
crown Of Louis Philippe 10 adorn the brow Of Louis
Bonaparte. But the affair at Rome has cured US ef
fectualy of that phantasy. France Is cured Of its
superstition for great names i sees that one may
speak necessarily Of my policy, my wish my govern
nent; call himself prince, NIonseigneur; bear the
name Of the greatest man of modern times, and be
only avery pitfu fellow, without principles, without
ideas, without stcadiness and enact before France
under that hereditary disguise, the most contempt
ible role that has been played for ages The les
son is a little dear, but il will profit"

In frequently stirring the earth, there several
and important advantages. IL oosens the soil, and
makes II permeable to the roots OF plants II hnal
ly pulverizes the SOIL and reduces the sods and
clods, and mixes the different kinds or layers Of
soil turned up by the plough together, and mixes
the manure finally with the soil We have ploughed
greensward for immediate sowing with hne Seeds
and by manuring, and the frequent use of the har-
row and cultivator, have made IL Of fine tilth
and well adapted 10 tender plants, like old mellow
soil
BY stirring the soil Often so TO present new sur
face TO the air, it becomes enriched by elements
imbibed from the atmosphere. But il the earth Is
allowed TO rest crust is formed at the top, and no
improvement of consequence takes place IN TINS
way. Hence, in Ploughing or cuitvatng iand
other noxious plants the soil becomes improved by
the means used TO eradicate the weeds with which
it is infested; that the whole labor Is not spent
merely TO destroy the cumberers OF the ground
The soil that is turned up in deep ploughing or
that works up moderately in sub-soil ploughing,
becomes greatly improved on exposure 10 the at
mosphere, and frequent stirring.
By stirring the soil, weeds destroyed IN their
tender age before they become large, to rob the
plants of nuriment, require great deal of labor
10 destroy them II the farmer can keep ahead OF
his work so as to stir his tllage lands often, just as
the weeds have started, he will great deal Of
labor besides gaining an advantage In having lbs
land in the best condition in other respects fora
good crop. Some writer says, in regard TO ma
nuring "Feed your crop, and your crop VIII iced
YOU" and it may, with equal propriety, be said,
protect your crop against the weeds and your crop
will protect you against want
Frequent stirring the soil is the cheapest al
most eectual protection of crops against drought.
The soil that is often stirred, in dry time, is moist
almost TO the surface, while that which is neglect
ed or lands in grass or small grains, which do not
admit of this operation, dry to great depth;
and this is one why wheat sowed in drills,
and cultivated other crops sowed in the same
way, yields more than that which is sowed broad
A fha- fIttli ma he
marks this subject
Every good cultivator is of the important
advantages in stirring the soil often, and he prac
tises on this principle with excellent success Let
those who have any doubts the subject select a
part of a lot, give it extra culture and mark the
result ~. T.. Farmer.
