New York SENAToR.-By the passage of
a joint resolution the. two branches of the leg
islature went into convention on Tuesday night
and chose Hamilton Fish senator in congress
for six years.
The n. Y. Herald in commenting upon
this election, says: " The wing party, once
constitutional organization of the intelligence,
the wealth and responsibility of the free states,
is gradually assuming the position of mere
abolition faction, composed of the various col
ors and stripes, from the pure black of Doug
las 10 the mixed complexion of William H.
Seward and his political associates"
. George Albert has been sentenced at
Philadelphia 10 ten years in the state prison,
and $1,000 fine, and Frisbie Price to eight
years and 500 fine, for kidnapping colored
child and selling it into slavery.

Ii Is fully time for you to be procuring
manure for Turnips full time to begin
the preparation Of the ground, which will
be all the better for having two or three
plowings, at intervals, between this and the
25th of August, about which time, you
should sow them. For an acre of turnips,
you should at least have 20 loads Of well
rotted or compost manure, 20 bushels of
ashes, and l bushel Of plaster, the two lat
ter TO be broadcasted at the time of sowing
the turnips; the first to be plowed in at the
last blowing.
Ten bushels of bone dust, 10 bushels of
ashes, and 5 gallons ofoil mixed and left
in heap few days, will manure an acre
Of turnips; SO, also, will300 or 400 lbs. of
Guano, and bushel of plaster mixed to-
gether, and plowed in; so would 90 loads
of marsh mud, 10 bushels of ashes, 5 bush
else bones,and bushel of plaster,ii mixed
together and left in the heap for or
weeks; so also would - loads of marsh or
river mud, made into compost with 5 loads
of stable or barn-yard manure,and % bush
els ofashes incorporated herewith. Plenty
of manure, and thorough preparation ofthe
soil, are necessary in the growth ofa good
crop ofturnips.

We had an opportunity, says the Vol
verhampton Herald, (Eng.,) Of inspecting,
at the Bazaar Of Mr. Checham, on Thurs.

ton rs it is beautiful in design. This re-
markablc piece of fmechanism consists Of n
hawthorn tree in full bloom, faithfully CO.

the trunk, and the foliage, being most ma
turally initiated and on several of the
branches stuffed humming birds are perch

anon hopping from spray to spray. and
pouring forth food of music almost charm
the spectator into the bcliefthat it is pleas
ing reality aud not an allusion, which is pre-.
scnted to his odriring view.
One ofthe tiny creatures jumps from
one branch to another in pursuit Of flies
and insects another lies basking on one
Of the hawthorn flowers; third sits on its
nest, whilst severaLothers are disposed in
different parts Of the tree. The singing of
the birds IS not only accurate and natural,
but the motion is also admirablc-one Of
them flying from one branch to another, a
distance Of about eight inches; with the
greatest possible precision, and alternately
turning completely round in going or re-

Very few persons are aware of the fact
that young carrots are among the most
wholesome of vegetables and greatly as
sist digestion. French cooks, in many of
their stewed dishes, introduce small slices
ofyoung carrots and the Julianne soup.
so common on every French table, is sea-
soned with finely chopped vegetables
young carrots being the most important,
and the difference in digestion between a
dinner eaten at French cafe and an Eng
lsh hotel is not alone in the cooking but in
the vegetable condiments introduced. 1t
is only lately that the chemists have ex-
planned the digestive stimulus known to
exist in the CARROT TO consist in peculiar
acid found in this vegetable.
Alter saying SO much with view TO
the promotion of better understanding
with the carrot in our kitchen gardens, we
quote the following in confederation from
the working farmer, calculated to increase
the field cultivation Of this useful vegeta-
blc
Two bushels Of oats and one Of carrots

work the quantity ofcarrots may be increas-
ed. With such food horses will enjoy good
health, loose hide, shining coat, and i'm
proved digestion.
1t may be thus explained the CARROT is
very nutritious, and, in addition, has the
curious property of gelatinizing the watery
solutions contained in the stomach Of the
horse. Carrots contain aeetic acid, a SIN
gle drop of which mixed with the juice Of
an orange or other fruit Immediately turns
it into Jelly, and the Paris confcctioners
use it for this purpose. Soups in which
carrots have been boiled are always gela-
tinous when cold, and are more easily d.
gested when used as food than soups other
wise made.
"The bene plant has similar properties.
A thin slice of this plant thrown into glass
of water renders 1t ropy and gclaunous,and
for this reason 1t is specific for summer
complaint with children.

no undigested hay or oats. and therefore
