TIE CROPS.

Now, while yet the most of the Spring crop
is standing, and different patches can be compar-
ed with each other in reference to the amount
of damage sustained, if any, it will be we'll for
the farmers to make as minute and careful inves-
tgation as possible-both into the effect of early
and late sowing, as we'll as deep and shallow COW
erng of the sced-also in regard to the difference
of injury, in that which has been sown on new
and old land-as well as that which has enioyed
rotation or succession of the same kind of crop.
One object OF the formation of the Farmers Club
in this County, if we rightly understand the mat
ter, was TO investigate just such subjects as we
have presented, and the information obtained can
be presented in discursive debates before the
Club, different views can be compared, and
the truth elected become Of practical use to eve
ry member. In this way the greatest advantage
can be derived from the association and perhaps
the Inconvenience arising from Harvesting up
team and spending twelve or fifteen days in a
year, will be compensated by return of 500 or
1000 bushels of Wheat in one crop, which might
otherwise have been lost. We throw out these
hints hoping they may be improved upon, and
we earnestly request any members of the Club,
or any of our subscribers, to make use of the
columns of the Telegraph in disseminating any
facts they may have obtained in regard to the i'm
poltant and indispensable science of Agricul-
ture.
Merchants have their boards of trade--me-
chanics have their protective unions-men in
almost all the different avocations of life have
their organizations for the advancement of their
own particular interests.
Why should not tie Farmers, whose occupa-
ton is the mighty base upon which the commerce
and manufactures of the rest of the world stand,
have their means of personal advancement, and
associations for the advancement of scientific
agriculture. Let them but speak, and it is done
gTSince the passage of the exemption laws
in this State, there has been no particular en-
couragment for litigation; it is not wise to run
the risk of being obliged to pay your own costs
after you have obtained judgement, against
some poor apology of thing for man, who
has far less honor and justice, than he has
money, howsoever destitute of the latter article he
may be. 1t is proper therefore that the comnu-
nifty should have the next best chance for pro-
lection, against these outlaws Of civilized life.
There is probably no class of men better
situated to find out the characters of their fel-
lows than publishers of Newspapers.
We have had first rate chance, and have
on hand few names, that we intend to publish
for the benefit of the business part of the COM
munity; if man is mean enough to take news
paper for one or more years and then refuses
o take it out of the post-office, without paying
up or calling to apologize for inability TO pay.
ne will swindle anybody ont of any amount,
provided he thinks he can escape the clutches
d Inc law, and dodge the doors ofthe States
Prison.

The Effect OF CHARCOAL on Flowers.


The following extract cannot fail to be
interesting to the botanist and the chemist,
as well as TO every lady who has roses
bush in her garden or hower>pot in her
paror. 1t is from the Paris horticultural
Review" of July last, translated by Judge
Meigs, of New York for the Farmers Club
of the American Institute. The experi-
nents described were made by Robert Be-.
rauds, who says:
Abouta year ago, made bargain for
a rose-bush of magnificent growth, and full
of buds. | waited for them to blow, and
expected roses worthy Of such noble plant,
Of the praises bestowed upon it by the ven
der. At length when it bloomed, all my
hopes were blasted. The flowers were of
faded color, and discovered that l had
only middling multihora, stale enough.
therefore resolved 10 sacrifice it to some ex-
periments which had in view. NV atten-
ton had been captivated with the effects of
charcoal, as stated in some English publca>
ton. | then covered the earth in the pot
III which my rose-bush was, about half an
inchthick with pulverized charcoal Some
days after, was astonished to see the re-
SEES, which bloomed, of as fine lively rose
color as | could wish! determined to re.
peat the experiment.; and therefore, when
rose-bush had done Towering, took off all
the charcoal and put fresh earth around the
roots. You may conceive that waited for
next spring impatiently TO see the result of
this experiment. When it bloomed, the ro>
ses were, as at first, pale and discolored;
but, by applying the charcoal as before, the
roses soon resumed their rosy red color.
| tried the powdered charcoal likewise in
large quantities about my pemnias, and
found that both the white and the violet
flowers were equally sensible to its rosy ac-
tIon. 1t always gave great vigor TO the red
Or violet colors of the flowers, and the white
petunlas became veined with red or violet
tlnts; the violets became covered with irreo-
ular spots of a blush or almost black tint.
Many persons, who admired them thought
they were new varieties from the seed >"

over the doughfaceism of Hunkerdom and the

Horrid and Brutal.

REvOLTINa MURuER.--Wm. Keats
poor miserable wretch in human shape
for some trivial cause, yesterday after.
noon about 3 o'clock, committed murder
upon the person Of his wife.
The case is one Of the most revoltine
that has ever fallen under our observa.
ton. 1t seems, from the information
we have been able to gather, that he
had been urging his wife to go with him
out to some point on the railroad, where
he expected to get something to do. He
never pretended !, labor in town or even
to seek any thing to do, but laid about
home, lazy, lounging bnsband--re-
quiring his wife to support the family
which consisted of his wife s mother and
two children. 10. 4
THE old lady asked him to go and
get some corn meal for dinner; he re-
fused to do so, although she offered him
the money to purchase it. This gave
rise to his wrath, and while the wife in
terceded only to pacify, he swore intol-
cradle oaths, and threatened to kill her
From this burst Of passion he went
to destroying the little that was valuable
in the house, evidently to provoke the
wife with this further misfortune. Not
able to ruffle her temper, and finding
gentle words her only weapon, he be-
came still more enraged, and seiZing an
axe dealt five blows; one cutting her
hand nearly in two, four upon the head
and neck--two Of the blows upon the
head were very severe, laying it open
for several inches, and literally clotting
the axe with her brains.
Having done the work of death with
the wife of his bosom, he dealt deadly
blow at their youngest child; fortunately
he missed its head, and by the interces-
sion of bystanders, further injuries were
prevented. The wife died in two min
utes, and after having vauntingly de-
clared that he killed her, he made his
escape. Those men who might have
secured him, but did not in the face of
this crime, deserve the deicstation OF
this community.
The watch and city marshal are on
the lookout, and will doubtless get hold
of him. He is about five and a hall
feet high--of sallow complexion, dark
brown harris about . or 80 years OF
age. He has been severely ruptured,
which may lead to his detection. The
probability is that in his condition, he
could not travel more than ten or twelve
miles per day, and being destitute Of
money, he must needs walk Louisville

ALVAH HUNT, Treasurer.
SENATE CHAMBER. March Is.

My DEAR Mas. JERvIs-1t is rare
that men ever agree upon the merits of
the living, or ever differ in doing justice
to the dead; and yet all seem to unite
in bearing testimony TO the virtues of
your incompatible cold candy. Ifwho-
ever causes an additional blade of grass
to grow, deserves to be ranked among
the benefactors Of mankind, who will
refuse to assign the same high place
to one who contributes in the slight
est degree, to alleviate human suffer-
ing {?
The creator of the universe, whose
Seward | am, has vouchsafed to me an
excellent constitution, but place your
cold candy above the constitution. A
timely administration of it enabled me,
upon recent occasion, to speak to my
entire satisfaction in my place in the
Senate, and also in an important patent
cause; and | shall take gre at pleasure
in enrolling the name of Mrs. Jervis
among the Thurlow Weeds, the Brneys,
the Garrett Smiths, the Morgans, the
O'Connells, the Father Matthews, and
other distinguished philanthropists and
public benefactors.
! hope the benefits of this never failing
specific may be extended to the human
family, whether black or white, bond or
free-to the poor oppressed emigran.,
at the moment Of his landing, and to the
crushed and broken-hearted slave, who
is now allowed by his cruel master to
cough out his miserable existence, which
single package of your cold candy
might prolong to a good old age.
With high regard,
Your esteemed friend,
WIN. Fl. SEWARD.
P. s. Tell my esteemed and excellent
friends of the Evening Journal and
Tribune not TO publish this. SEEK only
quiet repose, and desire 10 keep out of
the newspapers.
