lington county, who attended Professor Mapes's
cent lectures there after the close of the course at
Mt. Holly:
"Resolued That the views advanced by Professor
Mapes, in his course of lectures upon Agriculture,
delivered at this place, cminenty calculated to
advance the farming interests.
''Resoiued, That, not a theorist, but as prac-
teal farmer, the opinions of the lecturer are en-
titled to every respect, and that have great con-
fdence in their good results in practice whenever
tested in this country.
'Resolved, That we confidently believe that the
day is not distant, when the mode of treating
soils, and the application of manures, directed
in these lectures, will exert a widespread and
greatly beneficial influence upon agricultural in
dustry
"Resolyed, That we have felt great pleasure and
satisfaction in listening TO the lectures and have
been highly gratifed with the happy manner in
which this Interesting subject has been treated that
appreciate the motives that have prompted these
efforts for the increased prosperity of the tller of

! UMPRAoE OF THE Pass ON SMALL QUESTIONS
The following remarks by the New York CONNER
ciai Advertiser have appositeness in nearly every
newspaper and every locality We think, how
ever, the best way of disposing of such trihes, il
they couched in few words and not too absurd,
is TO publish them, in order that person versed
in the matter may answer. Editors, though they
have SO much learning, should not have the
maupase homie to be unwilling confess their ina
bility to every question, since the wisest OF
mankind know but very little. AS the members Of
congregation relieve their conscientious doubts
by an appeal to the pastor, and the urchins of a
school their perplexities by reference to the mas
ter, those who derive their intellectual notyri
t~s from newspaper in which they have conf
dence will naturally turn to the mind which directs
that paper for the solution of questions which they
unable to resolve themselves:
eve are grieved at finding that we have given
serious offence to of our subscribers, by omit
ting to answer a question which he propounded to
us, and which, we are obliged to say, we were no
more capable of answering than himself We are
aware that editors, by some, are supposed to know
every thing; to be qualified, at moments notice,
to resolve all manner of trivial queries, and, more
over, to have leisure always at command for the
consideration of any doubt that suggests itself TO
the mind Of curious correspondent. Now, the
fact is, that if we should undertake to decide upon
all the questions that are submitted to U.S. a very
considerable portion of our time-much more than
we can spare-would be consumed in the search for
and the consultation of authorities, and all this to
decide points of no imaginable Importance. We
very often receive requests utterly foolish and
trifng that forced to the conclusion that
they are made only for the purpose of annoyance
that they belong to the very. ignoble family of
hoaxes. The consequence is, that, unles the infor
nation asked for appears to have some value, and
to be sought in good faith, and unless also have
SOME means of obtaining it, we generally pass the
matter by without notice. Such, it seemed to us,
was the case with the question propounded to us
by our subscriber. We neither know what is the
true answer, nor whether there is any positive an
swcr to be given, nor where that answer, if there
is one, can be found The answer we suppose, de-
ponds upon fancy altogether; every man is at lib
erty TO arrange the matter as he chooses.n

Further from the Murders near Paterson.
PATERSON, Jan. 8, 1850.
Judge Van Winkle-long judge OF the common
pleas, and man Of worth and wealth--was able to
articulate sufficiently to describe the murderous
attack. He states that he reused from sleep be-
tween two and three o'clock this morning by the
screaming Of his wife, who lay in the front side Of
the bed, and putting his hand upon her, il came in
contact with the head of a man. On rising up in
the bed, nc was struck with Ratchet on the head
but he jumped out and ran to door leading to his
servants apartments, crying murder. Before he
could succeed in opening the door, however, he
his bowels were ripped open by large butcher
knife, which caused him TO sink insensible on the
floor. After this he must have been cut for his
face is horribly mutiated, apparently by Ratchet.
He described the man as n small one, having on
seemingly woollen shirt his clothes.
The servants came down after the escape of the
murderer and alarmed the neighborhood. Parties
set out in all directions ladder, taken from the
dows Tracks were seen at its foot, and one party
set out upon this track. Mr.. Alderman started for
the depot of the Ramapo railroad, where in few
minutes he saw small man approaching with a
woolen shirtover his clothes, and bag. He proved
to be John Johnson, an Englishman. On coming
up he asked the road to Hackensack. Mr.. A. in
formed him was the best way to take the railroad
track part of the way, and said he was going there
warm before starting Both entered, but Mr.. A.
went out Immediately, returning with rope and an
assistant. They seized and bound him forthwith.
He had by this time taken off his woolen shirt,
which was wet. with blood, and put it in the bag
which proved to be Judge Van Wrinkles. John
sons left arm was bloody, and spots of blood were
on his face He alleged he had got bloody carry
ing in hogs the day before The Ratchet and knife
were left in the bloody chamber.
A coroner's inquest have found that Mrs. Van
Wrinkle was murdered by johnson, who is now in
our jail. He worked for Judge v. w. about two
years ago, and was at his house some three weeks
ago, for few minutes. B.
