AGRICULTURE.

We desire TO call the attention of every
reader concerned or interested in the great
subject of Agriculture, to an article trans
ferred TO our. fourth page from an Ohio
Agricultural Journal. A careful perusal
of that article will throw much light upon
a question that has engaged many thought
full minds, viz: the policy Of holding large
farms. As at present advised, we certain
lvview the passion for owning great tracts
of land to be one that works to Virginia
no small public and private injury, Where
farms are very large it follows that poPu-
lation must be scant and sparse, and there
fore that so much is lost to private haPPi-
ness, and public power AID prosperity. If
a single farm of 1000 acres but moderate.
" well cultivated aud sustaining but a
single family, were divided, Ior instance,
into FIVE or moro parts, every presumption
is in favor of a much greater direct product
of AGRICULTURAL return, and certainly much
greater consumption of every species of
manufactured Industry. More hats, more
shoes, more clothing and furniture of ev-
erv kind, more carts, wagons, in fact more
everything would be requisite, and thus
the mechanic, the merchant, and all other
persons who are supported by labor OF
body or mind would find greatly increased
occupation. Such a state Of things we
hold to be just what we want in Virginia,
and we only wish it were m our power to
advise our large landholders TO divide their
estates, for the purpose Of sale, into mod.
erate portions, and to apply the capitaI
thus obtained TO the more perfect culliva.
lion of what they may choose TO retain.
We believe they would soon begin S
find the consequence as highly pleasuratlt
as it would be publicly advantageous. The
glorious results of Professor Mapes from
his little 40 acre farm in New Jersey
shew what might be done by combined

A Russian Wedding.

We saw the other day, in New ork
paper. that distinguished Russian gentle
man had married one Of the grand daugh'
tiers of deceased millionaire OF that ol'y'
We presume the ceremony was perform
ed in Yankee style, and not Ia mode dc
Russse, Touching this Russian fashion
ofmarrying, we will as briefly as possible
describe it. In the first place, then, the
betrothing generally takes place some
eight DAYS before the nuptials. During
the interval, the bride is only visited by
the bridegroom, aud girls of her acqualn-
lance. who exert themselves TO amuse her,
particularly by singing. On tho day pre-
vious to the nuptials, these females con,
duct her to the bath, and there spend
much time in dressing and plating her
hair, all the while singing songs, telling
her how happy she will soon be- Then
come the nu2tials. The candidates for
happiness are received by Priest III the
aisle of a church. attended by deacon
who takes them to the nave. Arriving at
that point, the Priest gives ,he lady and
her lord each lighted taper, and makes
sign Of the GROSS three times on thelr
foreheads. The Priest recites hsany,
and moves, followed by the whole brldaI
party, to "a chorus of the choir, to table,
upon which lie the rings, WIZ me repeats
a PRAYER, After this, turning round 10 the
couple, he blesses them, and taking the
rings, gives one 10 each, Procialmlng IN
loud voice that they stand married to each
other "now and forever, even unto ages
of ages" This declaration is repeated
three times, the bride and bridegroom
changing rings at each declaration. The
rings are thea returned to the priest, by
whom they are RnaIiy placed upon 'h'
appropriate fingess Of each party. Tier
comes promenade over silkea carpet
and it is said that the party VINO steps upor
the carpet first will be captain, Ia future
life. DIR. Granville witnessed wedding
of this kind once in 81. PeiersbuFgh, ant
he saws the bride " secured possession o
the prospective advantage with modes
iorwardness.' After this carpet walking
comes browning by the priest, and theI
the ceremonies of minor note. Th'
crowns are subsequently, removed by thu
