Death Of Mrs. Amelia B. Welby.

This talented and accomplished poetess
died last Monday at the residence of her
husband in Louisville. The productions
of this gifted lady have entered the hearts
of all Americans. and her name will be
remembered, and her songs I" Household
Words" until the end of all things.
Prentice of the Louisville Journal, thus
speaks Of her:
1t is now about fifteen years since the
public first became acquainted with her
name and her productions through the
columns Of this paper. Poem followed
poem in bright succession, each one teem.
ing with fresh wild thoughts expressed in
verse Of the most delicious harmony
These poems came from the heart Of the
gifted girl, and were all very beautifal-so
beautiful and so perfect indeed, that they
have scarcely been equalled by the pro-
ductions of any other American poetess. s.

WOODSFIELD, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 90, 1852

Circumstances will frequently require
variations. and when the land is pretty
good il may often be better to let the ground
remain but two years in grass instead OF
three, and have no doubt that thorough
subsoling at suitable intervals would be a
great advantage.
By this system OF farming have re.
claimed fields which were turned out to
the commons and given up to briers and
pennyroyal as too poor TO pay for cultiva.
tion, and have uniformly found at each
successive rotation the land produced a
much better crop than at the former one.
suppose that difference in soil or eli.
mate would require different rotation,
and as no part Of farming is more ne.
elected or less understood, would be glad
if the subject would receive thorough
investig cation in the Cultivator; and | should
be pleased to learn that there was some
system of farming better than the one I
have been practicing, that | may become
both wiser and richer by adopting it.

MAY.BUG AND GRUB WORM.

A subscriber in Oldham county. Ken.
tuckv. informs us that meadows in that
region have suffered much injury Of late
years by the white grubworms. and he is
desirious of learning what produces these
worms, and also if there is any remedy
for the evil. He says that some Of his
neighbors have got the idea that pasturing
their grass lands tends to increase the
grubs. and hence they are impovershing
their farms. by reducing their stock. But
for his part he disbelieves this theory, and
while he keeps more stock than most Of his
neighbors in proportion to his land. he is
less troubled with grubs.
In the summer Of 1916, much damage
was done to grass lands in many parts of
Ohio, by the grub-worm; and in the Ohio
Cultivator Of that year, Aug. Is, (vol. l.,
p. 1857 we gave full description of this
insect. and its transformations. &c. The
parent of the grub-worm is the common
beetle. or May bug, (Melozontha) usually
seen flying in the dusk Of the evening. In
great numbers during the first warm days
OF spring, say abount the first week in May
though we have seen very few Of them this
year. The female beetle deposits her
eggs on the leaves OF trees and bushes,
and perhaps on grass also; they are hatch
ed in about two weeks, and the young
worms or grubs descend to the ground,
where they subsist for two or three years
on the roots of grass. &C.. then change
to the beetle or pefect state. These grub.
worms must not be confounded with the
cut-worm, by any Of our young readers.
as that is plague Of another form and
color.
In regard to the idea that cattle or other
farm stock in pastures tends to increase
the number Of grubs, there is no founda.
ton for it in reason or nature. 1t is not
easy to suggest means Of preventing or
curing the evil-certainly not without
breaking up and destroying the grass. 1t
is possible that the past very severe winter
may have greatly lessened their numbers.
At any rate there is reason to hope that
after year or so of plenty, these pests
will disappear, at least for time. We
have not heard much complaint of their
ravages for three or four years past, until
last year.-Ohio Cultivator.

Democratic parties in the South are doing their
best TO arouse not only the people of the free
States but THE PEOPLE OF the slave States
against the system Of Slavery, by making it
national instead OF local. If all the other in.
forests Of the people are to be subservient and
secondary to the strengthening of the interests
of Slavery, then must Slavery in all its aspects
submit to the searching ordeal of the FULLEST
AND FREEsT DISCUSSION. This is the inexorable
ldp Of the life of every existing institution and
order of things in these Republican States of
ours and law that is rapidly developing itself
every day, both North and South. The Balti-
more Conventions have not arrested it for a
moment
Ii is my firm conviction, that if this subject
of Slavery is not treated of in more rational
and conciliatory manner by the leading states
men of the South in time to come. than it has
been for the last few years. we shall soon have
but two parties in our country-a Pro-Slayery
and an Anti-Slavery party.

be realized, and that Justice and truth NAV
once more bear sway in our National Councils
