LETTING, FARMS,

II is common remark, that TO let a
farm to tenant, i'll nine cases out of
ten, is to DESTROY its fertility. Why is
this SO It's because Of the tenure Of
tn lease, i; mostly being from year to
wear; the tenant has. therefore, no IN
ducement 70 lay out any thing in the
Improvement Of the land. We have
known instances where tenants omitted
10 use the resources on the places they
respectfully o4curied, fearful that, if
thcy improved their land, their landlords
would raise their rc"'s. We haF" N
our mind at the present moment, ten
ant who occupied river farm, whereon
there were immense deposits OF oyster
shells in a high state Of oxidation --
whose shores were lined, spring and
fall, with sca-wccd, and who had the
right Of using the mould and leaves from
about seven hundred acres of woodland
but who, to our utter surprise, never
availel himself Of either of these fruit
ful sources Of fertilization, although he
had occupied the farm for twenty years.
Upon our expressing our establishment
IUHt ne ulu not Use t!ltlu, ne dAS'SAet
a: reason for his not having done SO
that he rented it f.om year to year, and
that, if he were to improve It, the gen
tlcman from whom he rented would
raise his rent. It was iii vain we ell
dnayored to point out his mistaken poll.
CIV. Now, ii this man had held lease
for any considerable number of years
the probability 10, that he would have
freely used ii" resources Of the place.
and improved both the land and his
own pecuniary condition, whereas, he
left it, after twenty-three years occu-
pancy, dead poor.
Landlords, who have farms to let
should ponder this matter over well, as
they are deeply concerned. Leases for
years, might be so conditioned by land
lords, as that, while they insured the
improvement ofthe land, they would Of
fer guaranty to tenants, and thus throw
shield around the interests Of both.

THE HONEY l,EE.

A lecture on the Honey Bee was re-
Gently delivered before the Smithsonian
Institute at Washington, by DR.. Morris.
A correspondent Of the National lntelli-
gencer, in noticing the lecture, makes
some interesting statements, and furnish
es some practical hints. Bees, SAID the
lecturer, are villanous thieves They
enter the hive and steal away the honey.
Bees never pay complimentary visits.
A bee never lights upon the platform of
hive not its own with honest intentions.
The careful observer VIII instantly de.
tact STRANGER bee. Il is well known
as an enemy by the guard at the entrance
to the hive, for guard, day erd night,
is stationed there of sufficient force to
r'pel intruders, and will certainly do it
if this entrance in size ia properly adj
iusted 10 the use of the community.
Attention to this subject Will proven.

unreasonable size, enemies viii effect
an cntrancein spite of the guard. Then
ii war of determination or subiugation
ensues. 1t is fierce and dreadful. Re
Inducements OH both tides arc rapid,
and many bees are slain. The battle is
soon determined, nearly always in favor
oE the as3ail9nts-Ihc strong are most
likely to attael; the weak. The van
pushed party then unite with the con-
querors, assist to carry away their own
honey and 90 with it. Such is the war
OF bees. The following is the best way
to manage robbing bees. Close the
door of the hive five minutes; in Ibis
time the robbers will have obtained their
loads, and will be pressing to the door.
Open it, and let them out, and as soon
as the hive is emptied Of these ntrudrrs,
close again SO nearly as that but single
bee can pass at time. With SO small
space the robbers viii soon give over,
after which open gradually. W hen
robbers are thus suddenly checked, they
often attack an adjacent hive with rush
which the guard cannot resist. This
should be looked to, and it will be pru-
dent, at the time Of closing the entrance
to the hive first attacked, also greatly 10
reduce the width of the entrance 10 all
the hives standing near, until this dan
ger is past. The directions are given

tilated, as every hive should be. wiz!

PMNE's Gas Rcaqoa rAy not ma3r
P&5ltc.--A brother oil Mr.. Paine writes
as follows to the Boston Transcript:
Everything that has been stated with

knowledge extends, las been correct,
with the exception Of its s4tety. The
water is dccomposed or resolved into It's
gaseous state in abundance, and at u
cost Of the interest OF the machine only;
but it ca"aot ie safely doae; as the testi-
mony OF nine severe explosions, in as
many months, will amply prove. TN"
great difficulty is found in governing
the electric currents in their accumula-
tons and discharge IN the, or a the cleo
trodes-the continuous varying electro
pal state Of the atmosphere battling all
mechanical skill that has yet been
brought to bear on the discovery.
With certain electrical state Of at
mosphere, the apparatus has been known

but Immediately that a change of excess
would occur, rcpulsion would take place
at the electrodes, and they would melt
like go much wax.
last spring my brother was certain
that be had overcome the iii tficuIty, and
he commenced lighting and warming

well; but one clear, cold morning, the

Small Geld Coin.

Mr.. PATTERSON, of the Philadel-
phia mint, explains the cause Of there
not being greater amount OF gold
coined in that establishment TO be in
consequence of not having sufficient
scales TO weigh the metal. He says:
You have been already informed
that gold coins require 10 be sepe-
rately weighed, or adjusted, before
they are stamped. To effect this OBJ
ject, however, we require delicate
scales, which, as they can only be
manufactured by the most skilIul
workmen, are procured with some
difficulty. In consequence oil the
immense coinage now required Of
us. combined with sudden and un-
precedented demand for the smaller
gold coins, the number OF adjusting
scales at our disposal has proved to
be insufficient. We have three diff
ferent manufacturers engaged 10 sup
ply the deficiency, and we shall re-
ceive from them from four 10 five
new scales per week. AS fast as
they are received, new adjusters are
employed. The average number OF
pieces which may be adjusted in a
day is about six hundred; so thai for
each new scale received we are re-
inlorced, for gold coinage, TO the
amount of $I5,6O0 per month in
gold dollars, $4,000 per month in
quarter eagles, and in proportion for
the larger pieces. Our present force
enables Us, in addition TO the larger
pieces. TO adjust and coin about half
a million per month in quarter ea-
giles and gold dollars. The expected
increase in the supply Of scales will
add weekly increase TO that amount
Of some $3.50 in the same coin,
to continue in arithmetical progress
sion till the demand ceases.

The bill providing for the further
extension OF the Central Railroao'
was taken up by the Virginia Legs
la,urs On the 2Ist. We take the
following from the proceedings:
Mr.. Ferguson offered a ryder to
the Bin. providing that after the pri-
vste subscriptions, authorized under
the act, have been made, the board
of Public Works shall be required
to cause a railroad TO be constructed
from -Coyington to the head Of steam
boat navigation on the Kanawha
river: and for this purpose the board
is incorporated. 1t is provided, how
ever, by the ryder, that for the first
year the board shall not expend
more than 300, 900 dollars, nor more
than 100000 any subsequent year
the entire expenditure not to exceed
2,5OO,OO0.
The ryder became part Of the bill
when the discussion was commenced
by Mr.. Ferguson. No action wai
had by the Legislature up TO the
latest dates before US.

HARD MoNEY.-The Constitution
al Convention during the last week
had the Bank and Currency question
before them. 1t will be recollected
that the Report is strictly hard money,
and nothing else. The Convention
do not seem as willing to incorporate
this feature into the Constitution, as
the Committee who reported it,
The action Of that body has pretty
conclusively settled that NO HARD
MONEY clause shall be put into that
instrument, all hope Of such a result
seems to have been given up by the
hardest. Not sure but they will
give US a Constitution worth adop-
ting.
