ing their entire City track and have constructed
a branch or turnout at transforming from
Centre to the Bowery, thence up the Bowery and
connecting with the old track above Broonee- st.
This arrangement will accommodate the up-trains
the down trains will come as usualthrough Broome
and Centre SITS There will be, however, only
single track in Broome st aud in Centre ST. opposite
the Market. The new Grand-st track viii also
be single. The improvement in Centre and
Broome SITS. will be very great as the removal Of
the second track leaves a considerable addition
City track is also undergoing sundry repairs from
Chambers to Thirty first SITS.
But by far the most salutary and thoroughly
benehcent Improvement contemplated or in pro.
gress in the City, is magnificent project for the
ultimate Remoual Of the SlaugAter.Rous from
the thickly populated districts. A large number
OF Abattoirs now in process of erection on
Thirty-ninth-st, between Eleventh and Twelfth
avs. which will accommodate at least fifty of the
saughterhouses which now infest our streets
The design and execution of this project are due
to Edgar H. Laing, Esq. of this City.

MATURING CoRN.-Formerly every far
mer put large shovel-full of manure in the
hill for corn. In later years however, there
has been rather disposition 10 discard the
manure in the hill entirely, and to spread it
all over the field, ploughing and narrowing
it in. But our experience has led us to be-
lieve that ultraism is but little better in
farming than in politics-tbat the best meth
cd lies between the two. We have seen
the best fields of corn raised, where good
body of manure was first spread over the
field, and then small portion of strong ma
nure put in the hill to give the corn good
start until the roots reach that which is
spread.

IMPROVEMENT OF DAIRY SrocK.-ln a
late address before the Jefferson County IN.
W Agricultural Society, Mr. James re-
marked -
we deem it an easy matter to add twen-
ty-fve per cent. to the diaries of this county
clear of all expenditure of time and money,
by improving the quality of the COWS. 1t is
believed that there is no dairy in the coun-
try, consisting of ten COWS or more, which
does not show difference of one-third in
the yield Of milk from the best to the poor
est cows in the yard, Yet the the same a.
mount Of food is consumed by the poorest
as by the best. Now to keep an inferior
COW through the long winters Of this north
ern region, with the prospect of only OBJ
tanning two thirds yield in the summer
we hold to be the most miserable policy in
the world; it is a sufficient deduction in a.
ny case' from the gross income Of the dairy
to feed and properly tend upon the best COW
we can raise or buy

The PROPER SOIL FOR PoTAToEs.-Ma-
ny have thought wet ground best for pota-
toes-at least to secure alarge crop without
reference to quality. But the potatoe needs
moist land-not ret A farmer can hardly
expect to raise potatoes of good quality
for table use on land that is really wet-al-
though he may get tolerable crop. Such
land, however, is much better for potatoes
than corn. But we have always noticed
that the best crops of potatoes, both for
quality and quantity, are raised on deep po-
rous soils, which, although they are not wet,
retain moisture well. For instance, new
grounds that have been burned over, and
are full of half burnt leaves aud sticks, ash
es and coal-and greensward pasture lands
which have just been turned over by the
plough. The tubers delight and flourish in
such soils. where they have access TO the at
mosphere without being either too much ex-
posed to the scorchng sun, or drowning wa

A New Saw Mill.

We can't understand the annexed des-
eruption; if any milI-wright can, we give
him the benefit of it.
The St. Louis Republican contains the
following account of new and most impor-
tant invention
We yesterday witnessed the operation of
a new saw mill constructed upon new and
singular prlnciple-that of selEpro-pulsion
The inventor is Mr.. Amos Jackson, of Pot
tawattamie county, Iowa This mill IS
built in such a manner as to derive its en-
tire propelling power from the weight of the
log 10 be sawed, which he accomplishes in
the following manner The ordinary ways
upon which the carriage travels are fixed
upon bearings that enter into the frame !;
the opposite ends are provided with large
segments Of a cogwheel working into Sc
ries of cogwhcels and pnions; thus, it will
be seen that when the log pushed forward
10 the SEW, its weight is brought to act with
great force through the segments upon
shaft having several intermediate gearings
to increase the speed sufficiently for driving
the crank shaft When we consider that
the weight of saw logs is commonly 5000 to
5000 pounds we may Judge of the immense
propelling power thus obtained; indeed, the
fear is that means will have to be used to
check aud regulate the velocity of the de-
scendlng mass, as the segment describes its
area. If the principle, when carried out,
answers anything like as well as the one we
have witnessed we cannot see what use there
Will be IN steam, water, or any other power
than that used by Mr.. Jackson for saw-mil-
ling. An important part of the invention
consists in new form of saw, whereby
all setting is dispensed with. The toothed
edge of MIR. Jackson's saw is made thick,
thus leaving all friction out of the question,
and dispensing with the setting. The price
of these mills, we are Informed, will be
light, compared with others, and they can
be attached to wheels for travelling through
the country.

EARLY PEAs.-You cannot well SOW peas
too early. If there should be a little snow
after they come up it will not materially liz
jure them. So, as soon as the frost is fairly
out Of the ground, peas may be sown in
some warm part of the garden; and by SOW
ing at different times, and of different varie-
ties. continued succession of green peas
may be secured, both for the market and ia
bic. If designed for the market, the earli-
er they are ready the better price they COM
mand; if for the farmers own table, they
will be acceptable week or two earlier
than is usual. There is not the least diff
Guilty in the world in having green peas at
least fortnight sooner than the majority Of
our farmers in this State do.

10 where the rosy bosomed hours,
Far Venus tam appear,
Disclose the long expected flowers,
And wake the purple year.
The attic warbler pours her throat,
Responsive to the cuckoo'- note,
The untuusht harmony Of Spring:
VI hlie, whispering pleasures they fly,
Cool zephyrs through the Gear blue say
Their gathered fragrance fl.ug.
Wheie'er the oaks thick branches stretch
a broader, browner shade,
Nhere'er the rude or moss grown beech
O'er canopIe= the glade,
Beside some waters Iushy brink
With me the muse shall sit, and think
AT ease reClncd On rustic STATED
Ho| vain the aTaor Of The crowd,
How low, how liiile are the proud,
How INDECENT the great!
Still is the toiling hand of Care;
The painting herds repose:
YET hark, how throu. tho peopled air
The busy muunur sipws
I he insect youth aie on the wing,
Eager 10 taste the honied spring,
And float amid the liquid noon
Some lightly DER The current skim,
Some show their gay ly-sIlded tim,
Quick gianoing 10 the sun.
To con,emplaiion's sober eye
Such Is the race Of man,
And they that creep, and they tina; fly,
Shalt end where they began.
Alike The busy aud the gay
Bui flutier through lifc's lutte day,
In fortunes waving colors dressed
Brushed by the hnud oi rough mischance,
Or chilled by age, their airy dance
They leave, IN dust 10 rest.
