CAPTURE OF 1IaAwkns.0Mr. Jacob
Shaulk has adopted good plan to kill
off those pests Of farmers-hawks.--
He erects pole about ten feet high
land probably higher one would an
swer o better purpose.) The lower
end, instead Of being planted in tho
ground, is fastened in the centre Of
two flat cross timbers, and. braced,
stones being placed on the timbers to
keep the pole from blowing over. On
the top Of the pole is placed a eominon
steel trap, the lower bar being fasten-
ed securely to the top of the pole by
staple. He sets the trap in somesplace
where hawks are likely to come, ,and
leaves it. The bird, seeing. a nice
perch on the top of q pole, selects it
for a point Of observation, and as soon
MS he alights, the trap springs and
catches his legs. The pole can realiIy
be pulled over, the bird taken out; md
the trap set for another. In this 1f.an.
her, Mr.. S. has caught 81 hawks, be-
sides large number of owls. Tho on
ly objection we see to the trap, is, that
there is danger Of destroying other
birds, that are not only harmless, but
useful.

The WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.
During the past week, the weather
has been bland aEd delightful. We
begin to feel like Spring had really
set in, when the faathered musicians
are turning their merry pipes in every
grove, and the woods are arrayed in
their vernul livery. Farmers have
fine time now for planting cotton.
Throughout middle Georgia, so far as
our own observation extends, and
from what we can learn, the grain crop
is very promising. IfJaek Frost will
let us alone, the hope may be rational
ly cntcrtaincd,i that the grain crop
will be highly productive. Presen,
indications, ut least, are very fav-
orablc.-AGifedgevilfe Union.

s iinE PuDLIc DoMAIN.--Ihei dis
lil

E InE PuDLrc DoMAIs.-IIbsi dis
cilssions which have recently taken
place in both Houses Of Congress on
the Public Lands, have brought to
light number of interesting facts. One
of the most important Of these facts is
the amount or extent of the public
domain-thc increase of which. bv
the Mexican purchase or conquest. IS
not yet appreciated by the public. By
an examination Of the books of the
Land Office, it is ascertained that the
number of acres of public land in each
State and Territory unsold and un.
disposed aE, on the 3Oth of June, 1851
was 500, ,632, BOZ, ,4S acres.
This stnpcndous public domain, at
81 25 cents per acre, the lowest sun.
for which the public lands are sold is
worth upon this statement, $3.50,
79f,3sO. No nation ever before had
any thing like such prize Mt its
disposal-and ifit could be managed
properly, would go far to pay our
taxes, and to. keep us clear from
all national debts.--Macon Telegraph

IsrERMARRIAeE.-On the subject Of
the intermarriage Of relatives, The
fredericksburg WAY Herald has s4he
following: i4ss'' =
I'm the county in which we wero fails
ed, for twenty generations back; a Cor.
tain family of wealth and respectable
ty have intermarried, until there can.
not be found, in three of them, a sound
man or woman. One has sore ayes.
another scrofuIa, third is idiotic, 8
fourth blind, n fifth bandy-legged; q
sixth with head about the size Of q
turnip, with not one out of the number,
exempt from physical or mental de-
fects of some kind. Yet this, family
perscveres to intermarry with each
other, with these living monuments Of
their folloy constantly before them
1t is often done ignorantly by the Best
people. Young people never reflect
upon consequences, and old people arc
too avaricious to forbid matchwhere
money is gotten. Let the law reach
it and it will be stopped aaiis!4.Y

INCREAsE or Popur ALTON (

INCREASE OF PopULATIoN.-We' sec
some estimates computing the increase
Of our population at the rate Of three
per cent. per annum. The. nlntter
need not be involved in any controyer-
sy; for the census returns every ten
years give a fair basis Of. circulation.
Three per cent. per annum will amount
to the ordinary ratio Of one-third in ten
years-ncar enough at least for ,statis-
cal purposes. -.
But the prospect which is held out
by the most reasonable calculation of
the growth of this country in. Popula-
ton and resources may well: startle
the observer. Leaving out of. the ac,
count the additions which are made
every year to the aggregate of our pop
ulation by enigrants from Europe, the
natural increase of our people may at.
ford the basis of an estimate which
could not be applied to any other
country. We are bound to be the
most populous and the most powerful
of living nations. This is our destiny,
and it is our responsibility also. Kos
suth has made his mistake only in point
of time. We are a Power on earth.
and such Power that its presence
must have significance. We ,cahhot
abnegatc' our being; but it is due to our
dignity that VIC raise not n hand ex.
ccpt to control, and that at once. No
empty vaporing, no bravado, for this
American people. We hold our own
against the world, and will do it, come.
what may.-BaiHmore 1mericun. ;.

A NEW SlDE-SADDLE.-We have
seen capital article, the invention OF
Disbrow, at his riding-school, No. 30
Fourth Avenue. 1t renders horseman.
ship perfectly safe to tho ladies, by. the
addition ofs new support on tho out
side of the near crutch, against. which
the knee of the rider presses. AT the
same time that part of the saddle
which heretofore rested upon the shoul.
dcrs is cut out, saving the animal from
those painful excoriations so frequently
witnessed. This saddle holds tire lady
firmly in her seat, and she may safely
trust herself on restive horse, sgallop,
leap fences, and perform other feats
which would be attended with some
risk to an experienced rider occupying
the common side-saddIe. We arc
glad to see this invention, and we
doubt not that the ladies will hal. ;t
with much pleasure.-W. y. Cn:;r.
