thor of the "Book of the Farm" &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN p. NoRroN, M A., New Haven Professor

This highly valuable work will comprise two
large roya octave volumes, containing over | 4OO
pages, with lS or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, IN the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfecton; IN short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalcuabe value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem-monthly
numbers of GA pages each, exclusive Of the Steel

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
United Staies in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1880 that they are informed
and believe that The INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
land thus granted: that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sci the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun :,
that lIle 4licers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligenl and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

Walking lhea<F2y headdownwards.-A Mr.

OF the New Workers, during the past week, BY
walking on a polished marble slab, head down.
wards, in one Of our amphitheatT es. 1t is
somewhat frightful to see a fellow mortal
perched up'in mideair, with his head to the
ground-but along way above it-and his fee,
to the roof. 1t is the first ftas oftbte kind ever
performed, so far as we are aware, and Nicer.
mick has been dubbed with tie lille of profes-
sor for his scientific performance.
The feat is perfo med upon wei known prin.
eiples of science, by using air-pumps, and wor-
King them step by step, to extract all the air
under appendages on his feet, so that the ont.
ward pressure on one foot will exceed his whole
weight. If he is $50 pounds weightit reotires
ten square inches of atmospheric pressure 10
balance that, for the atmospheric pressure is
10 lbs. on every square inch of the earth's snr-
face; therefore, lOx15-l5O lbs. The pressure
must be on one foot, while the. other II heinz
moved forward. The courage required to NEE.
form the feat is not small, and the labor is verv
severe and tedious. 1t is needless tossav th.,i
although the polished marble slab is the great
EST wonder to some, he could not perform the
feat on rough boards.-Scientyfc American.

The Weather.--On Tuesday night last, after
8 long and delightful season, the weather sud-
denly changed, when a storm commenced which
lasted till late on Wednesday night, Thurs
day continued cloudy, cold and disagreeable.--
On that day and yesterday morning, the shrIv-
eled leaves of vegetables indicated the severity
of the weather. But the sun is again shining
the sky is clear and cIoudless-the birds are
once more warbling their Spring notes-and
winter, we trust, will not again appear till No
vember.
