UNION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY--Thc fifth and
last number of excellent series of numbers which
appeared in the Boston Post entitled The Reunion
of the National Democracy the Baltimore Plat
form concludes as follows:
The administration of this country, to be we'll and
safely guided for the whole Union, must be in the
hands Of the National Democracy. Discord, disas-
ter and premature death in high places, in the nys
terous dispensations of Providence, have uniformly
followed in the train of the occasional success Of the
opposite party. The way is open to safe return of
the country to that which for more than forty
out of fifty years of her administration under the
Constitutions has been guided by the landmarks laid
down by Jefferson and fixed by its Democratic ex,
Founders and no true Democrat, in this crisis and
with the glorious future that is opening upon us,
should be found wanting to himself his party or his
country That duty, we firmly believe he can fulfil
only by laying aside all personal considerations, all
sectional ealousies all ordinations of the past or
the present and resolving that for the future his
verning principle shall be THE UNION OF THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY, North, Vest and South, UPON THE
BALTIMORE PLATFORM, FOR THE SALVATION or THE
UNION

SINGULAR VEGETABLE PHENoMENoN.-The Knox
Vile (Tenn) Register gives the following account
of a singular vegetable phenomenon:
about this time last year, the upon several
Islands in the rivers of East Tennessee discover
ed to be producing small grains, which very much
resembled rye both as to size and shape. 1t grew
in heads and was covered with chat, like that of
wheat. The production was then considered re-
markable and so unusual that not the oldest
inhabita had ever anything of the kind
The conectures respecting the of the appear
ance of this unusual grain were very numerous
many persons (and some of them skilled in botanic
learning) supposed that the had by some
MEANS been inoculated with wheat
"This year told that the cane Throughout
East Tennessee is bearing in almost incredible guam
titles the same grain. At some places it would not
be difficult to collect much twenty-fv or thirty
bushels per acre. Some persons owning cane lands
have already gathered large quantities of the grain
which they find makes -four equal in appearance
to that of wheat, and equally palatable when
cooked in the form of cakes, &c. Hogs and fowls
eat the grain it falls from the cane, with the
same greediness that they devour any other small
grain. Another remarkable feature about the mat
ter is. that the grain begins to mature the
cane begins to die. and the indications are that
all the cane in East Tennessee will die out this
son.
1T has been suggested to that the farmers, by
collecting this seed, might it upon their wood
lands and thus have excellent cane pastures for
their stock as there be little doubt but that the
grain will germinate especially in moist lands
The Knoxville (Tenn.) Register says: In the ad-
joining county of Jefferson, there resides John Van
hooser, now in the hundred and twenty second
years of his age. Until recently he was in the habit
of walking to and from town calls of business,
distance Of five or six miles, without experiencing
fatigue He is German by BIRTH but emigrated
to this country about one hundred years since. He
was in several of the most important battles of our
revolution He voted for General Washington for
President of the Uuited States and boasts that he
has never failed at any election for President from
that time till the present to vote. We understand
that recently Of his daughters lass of eighty
years of age paid him VISIT and found the old gen.
tleman in his usual health. We doubt if another
such case of longevity can be found in the United
States,

The FrejOle Bean.

This is the true name of the Mexican Black
Bean, which we have been recommending fol
several years past, and which we still think is
decidedly the best winter bean ever cultivated
in this region, There is no other comparable
with 1.-THE Lima, for winter use, being thown
entirely in the black ground. They ought to be
planted from the first to the middle of May.
We have small quantity on hand to give
away; and if any of our friends think this cheap
enough, we shall be happy to supply all with a
small package, sufficient to provide seed for
another year. We are sure no lover of good
bean, who eats the trcjole pronounced .jreAoly)
once, but who will be DESTROYS to have anoth-
er "dig' at them. They are bunch bean,
and are grown with the least possible trouble

lESs-Eggs and poultry, though, not strictly

HESs'-Eggs and poultry, though, not strictly
indispensable, are yet very convenient in fami-
ly, and when not produced on the farm they are
often purchased, and frequently at great expense.
A few hens should be kept by every housekeep.
er. BY securing good breeds, and adopting a
judicous system of management, they will be
found source Of considerable profit. 1t is
sometimes desirable to produce fowls for the
market, especially in places where poultry COM
mands a good price; and when this is the cases
the sex is matter of considerable importance,
male fowls are larger and more profitable
than females. By selecting the long eggs,
which are marked with concentrc circles on the
smaller ends, cockerels will be produced by in
cubation; the more round or oval eggs, always
producing females. This fact was known to the
ancients as long ago as the days of Mayo and
Columella, the latter of whom alludes par
ticularly to it, This remark applies also, with
the same correctness to the eggs of other domcs-
tic fowls.

PASTURE LASDs.-A good pasture is indis-
pensible to the farmer. he keeps various
kinds Of animals, the arrangement Of his pasture
grounds should be such as to enable him to keep
the several sorts of animals apart. Sheep, for
instance, ought never to be permitted to run
with COWS, or neat stock ofany kind. Owing
to their peculiar habits, they foul the grass, and
no animal will crop the feed upon which they
reposcd to trod. A seperate enclosure ought
always to be provided for them, and this may be
the more hill and barren portions ofthe farm.
1t is an old adagc that "short pastures make fat
Sheep" and experience seems TO coyroborate its
correctness. On hily and rocy soils, the grass,
ahough shorter, is much sweetcr than on lands
where perpetual moisture, and greater album
dance of humus, induces more luxurant
growth. Water, however, is great advantage to
the flock, though the sheep, from its habits of
early rising, and feeding while the night dcws are
still upon the heritage, as we'll as from its own
peculiar conformation and constitution, will do
well and even became fat where no water exists
The sheep requires frequent sailing while in
the pasture. Salt and ashes-say two quarts Of
the former to peck of the latter, better than
pure salt.
