Your committee, after full examination OF
the applications for premiums on the several
crops, are more fully convinced of the necessity
of more thorough system Of manuring and cu-
tivation than ever. Take. for instance, any Of
the above crops, upon which premiums have been
awarded, to show the fact that great part of
the labor of the farmer is unpaid, by the small
a amount of the crop which they obtain. They
are also convinced of the fact, that our land even
L
in Vermont, may be made 10 yield three times
: the amount by judicicious systematic course
l being adopted in blowing and manning.
The Importance Of well organized and sue
7 cessful Agricultural Society cannot be doubted
0 only by those who are opposed to all improve
= ments, and are not willing to leave the path
:. their Fathers trod before them. Improvements
are being made in almost all the implements Of
husbandry as well as in machinery. Societies
have been established in almost every County in
the State, and it would seem as if the farmers
, in Washington County should not be found in
T.. the rear in any enterprise.
y Your committee, therefore, recommend to the
farmers in the County to become members of the
Society," and make their arrangements for an ex-
hIbiton at the next Annual Fair that shall moi
be outdone by any County in the State.

Shelter for Stock,

At this inclement season, those having the
care Of stock should be sedulous in their endea-
yors to render them dry and comfortable. IL IS
bad policy to allow animals of any description
to get chilled and wet, or to remain exposed IN
SITUATIONS whore there is no opportunity to lie or
stand with comfort. Under such circumstances,
vastly great quantity of food is required for
their daily sustenance, and is consumed with
proportonally diminished effects. If an animal
is endued with sufficient hardihood to suffer with
impunity such inlluman treatment, the owner has
little reason to congratulate himself on the sub :
ject, as the cost of wntering is greatly augmen-
already attended to the matter-now that winter
has set in in good earnest-to look at their cat
tlesheds, barns, hog houses, and stables and see
whether few boards and nails, little straw,
and few hundreds Of litter cannot be econom-
ically used. Those judcous persons who keep
good animals, are never relniss in this particular
What merciful man can lie comfortably in bed
when the cold winds are bowling, and the be-
numbing sleet stiffening the limbs of his domes-
tic animals, in their exposed and comfortless
quarters? "a merciful man is merciful to his
beast" and no man can be good neighbour a
good citizen, or good Christian, who habitual-
ly neglects them in their confinement and help
lessness.-yMaine CuItiUqtor.

Hymn on Bereavement,

In hidden wisdom, Father God +!
Bids't thou thine earthly servants grieve,
o grant us strength to kiss the rod
Which scourgeth all thou wouldst receive
Our lily, which began to spread
Its virgin petals to our eyes,
Hath moekly bowed its gentle head,
And thou hast plucked il for the skies.
But though around our darlings brow
Hopes clustered as the flowers of May,
Which like autumnal foliage, now
Lie sere and whitening in our way.
.! bid our thoughts no longer cling
To, earth, in selfshness and gloom,
But mount on faiths unfettered wing,
With the freed spirit from the tomb.
We thank thee in our heats of mirth;
Teach us that thou art loving still;
That there's no holier joy on earth
Than grief, submissive to thy will.
Subdue our hearts rebellious strife,
Quicken our souls with heavenly breath,
That though we weep for death in life,
We mourn not those who live in death.
Death is no messenger of wrath:
AS planets hold their watch at even,
So love, which quits our darkenl path,
Kindleth its beacon fires to Heaven.

of constructing this lateral branch from

The interest which is always felt on
the approach Of a Congressional Session
and the speculations INDUCED in as to the
Speakership, the organization of Commit
tees, &c, upon which depend, in great
degree, the subjects and character of the
Legislation which is to follow, is greatly
increased Al this time, by the uncertain
" which prevails as to the numerical
strength the two great parties, as rep
resented in the Lower House.
We have been at some pains toprepare
statement Of the division Of Parties, and
present the following as the result, which
we think may be relied upon.
We have not thought it necessary, Sc
parately toclassify the "Freesoilers" and
t.Natives,'' as it is believed, that, with the
exception ola few, who have heretofore
been CLAIMED by the Wings, and who will
probably act in some measure ,ndepend-
emily, they will, for all practical purpos.

parties into which the country is divided
