date of the 9TH inst, says: Mr.. Benton has
avowed in his speech, to exhaustin opposition to the
measure, which connects California with any other
subject, every resource which parliamentary expe-
dents will afford. Mr.. Seward has made his pledge
also-not in speech, but publicly, as it is said
that he will beat the breath out of the compromise
in the Senate; and, after it has passed by about
two three votes, he will it strangled in the
House of Representatives. But, if Mr.. Seward has
no more strength for combat than he has logic in
argument, he will waste no breath but his own

Tolerably Keen.

A venerable clergyman has just informed
US of stroke of wit in the dying hours, the
author of which was avery good man. The
anecdoe is this:
There resided in the town Of Brookield,
u clergyman by the name of Parsons, who
was sick and so near death and weak, that
it was difficult for him to talk, even in a
whisper. Another minister, by the name
of Jones, and who was not noted for poses
sing the wisdom # Solomon, came to see
Mr.. Parsons. After sitting by his bedside
a few minutes, he observed,
"Mr. Parsons, came to talk with you,
and ask you some questions concerning the
state of your mind; but as ! find you very
weak, will omit them"
"You are very kind" replied Parsons,
in difficult whisper, " but must be 0ery
veak not to be able to answer any question
Mr.. Jones could ask."-BOSton ITaceller.

From the Aurora Of the Valley.
Farm Work for the Season.

Spring has returned, and with it the nc.
customed round of agricultural employment
The farmer commences anew his field labors
The ground will soon be prepared TO receive
again the seed, and afford nutrition for an
other harvest. The removal of manures
from the barn-yard to the fields, is generally
the first business, after the important duties
of"picking up" and getting eady," Some
farmers, though we trust their number is few.
draw forth their manure indiscrmlnately,
placing it upon the ground for planting, with
out taking care 10 adapt it to the soil. This
is an error, and results in loss Horse
manure, which by many is esteemed nearly
worthless, if it is judciousy sheltered until
it is removed, and is then placed n[on dry
land and "plowed ill.," will, in effect, prove
inferior to no other kind; but if otherwise
treated it may well be considered of little
value. The experience of all farmers rem
der it unnecessary to say that iermented ma
nure is of more value to corn than to pota.
toes, especially when placed in the hill.
Previous to the removal of manures, the
barn-yard should be raked as deeply as con-
venient, and the coarser or strawey portion
removed. This should be placed beneath
a sheier, aud mixed with whatever other
materials it may be desired to convert into
manure. Through the whole there should
be sprinked considerable quantity of Gun
Stacked " lime and gypsum. After the stack
is completed it should be thoroughly dren-
ched with water and left to itself. During
the process ofslacking, the lime will evolve
heat enough to put fermentation well under
way. During this process, there is large
quantity of ammonia elected which is very
nutritious to vegetables. This is instantly
absorbed by the gypsum, aud thus retained,
Lime should not be mixed with untermen-
ted stable manure in sep crate st'te; for
it enters into chemical combination with
some of the elements of the manre and lib
crates nutritious gasses, which are lost; but
if muck and gypsum are added the objection
is removed.
Such mixtures require some time 10 be.
come perfect for use. Hence they should
be made at an early part of the season.
They are not fit for use, or at least are not
perfect, while hot.
MaRHre, when removed from the barn
yard, should be carried to where it is nten-
ded to be used and dumped in as large piles
as is convenient These should he spread
immediately before blowing. The sun should
by no means be permitted to dry the moist
ure from the manure before it Is covered by
the pillow. A TILLER
