Considerable interest has. been felt in
this community in the progress of an irl-
ycntion from which It's friends expect. the
greatest results. Mr.. Carpenter, an inge-
NOUS and studious, but wholly self-educa-
ted man, who has given much attention to-
the subject of magnetism, and to its appl-
cation as mo.iye power, is the inventor.
He has SO far obtained tie confidence of
those TO whom he has communicated hi,
plans, that he raised sufficient sum; sew
eral thousand dollars, to construct a ma
cline 10 test the invention. He has sue
eeeded in producing d continuous current
of electricity, and has applied it with sat
isfactory results to a small machine, and is
now constructing one of six-horse power

w We propose to,devote three or four col.
umns.of our paper, each week, to the dis
cussion Of agricultural topics, and wiihou'
assuming to ourselves any special capacity
for this department of journalism, we mean
to make the Pioneer one of the indispen-
iblcs in every farmers home throughout
our county. The interest which is begin
ming to be manifested in agricultural pnr-
snits, assures us that our efforts will be
fully appreciated. 1t will of course be cx-
pected that our treatment of these sub
jccts, should be practical rathcrthan sc'en-
tiic, The wants and capacities of each
county, are in greater or less degree To-
cal. and peculiar; and it will be our faith
ful endeavor, in this department, torepre-
sent and cherish the farming interests of
Wyandot. We have AN almost virgin soil
whose resources are yet to be developed.
To do this successfully, is the great work
of the present generation of farmers; and
the most efficient means to this end is the
Interchange of ideas, and comparison ol
facts, which we expect to gather and dis
seminate, for the common good.
A very commcndablc zeal is also man
ifested in the improvement of farm stock,
and It is important that this zeal should
be properly directed. We expect to rem
der some service by collecting such facts
as may help to determine the compara-
v tive exccllencies of the different breeds.
The Cultivation of Good Fruit, is sub
jcct which commends itself to every man
with tooth in his head; and descriptions
Of the best varieties and their appropriate
culture, win claim no small share of our
attention.
Finally, we desire to do something in
the way of promoting good taste, which
Is by no means the least important requi-
site Of good farming. A man may raise
hogs and corn without taste; but if des
titute of all appreciation of the beautiful
and the appropriate, his enjoyment of this
excellent world of ours, must be about on
level withithe brute. He might almost
as well be hog himself.
But we must stop. Our readers will
nee. that we have entered field of la
bor,. which will last while we live to write
or they. to read. Farmers of Wyandot!
We have. laid down-a platform, broad G.
'nough to hold you all. Weircly upon
you for support in this enterprise; we ex
pect substantial aid both from your pat
ronagc and your pens: Not-one of you,
but can communicate dozen facts which
would be Interesting and instructive to
your neighbors. Speak them right out
and we will guaranty that you be paid in
kind. You viii all become richer and
wiser by this.intcrchange, and we hope to
profit, somewhat, by regulating the ex
changes,

Ohio and Indiana Rail Road.

A large force of hands and teams has been
engaged for some days on Lafayette street
preparing the track for the o. & |. Rail
road, from their depot to the canal. We
understand the rails and a locomotive are
expected here in three or four weeks, and
soon after their arrival, the work of lay
ing the track will commence. Notwith-
standing the great loss of time by the
long continued wet, unfayorable weather
this spring, sanguine hopes are entertain
ed that the whole work will be completed
by January next.
The rails are already being laid down
on the east end of the Line, commencing
at Crcstline The road is expected to be
open to Bucyrus by the first of August

The Hsan of a District.

a AZ Hif Oh u 3Skati
i We commend the following to all To-
. calities Wesclip it from the local column
of the N. O. Delta. The character iswell
analyzcd; and the anecdote with which
it.closcs is rich. Is there any need for
such lessons at Home?
We do not dislike a little sectional feel
ing of pride about States, becauseit often
inspires those belonging to particular Sec
tlons with the pride which prevents them
from any act calculated 20 throw discred-
it on The State of their birth or adoption ;
but when this feeling is rampantly indulg-
cd in by the people of certain districts in
populous city, where all are ncighbors,
or should bc-whcrc the general good is
the individual interest, sectional prciudiccs
become absolutely injurious as well as ri
dicuIous. We nave seen TO much of this
in the deliberations of the Common Coun-
ell, and have often been surprised at the
wrangling which has taken place among
the members about 'smy district" A pc
tition is presented, praying for some i'm
provemcnt in particular district; uT
jumps gentleman from another district,
and opposes it because his district is not
lik, ly to be favored by granting bene-
fit TO the other. 1t is true, occasionally,
from pcculiaritics of position, DC, some
districts may require a special Legislation;
! but this is rare, and the words "mv dis
trict, +" may be wei replaced by "our city
of New Orleans y This sectional folly
has operated very unfavorably to the pro-
gress of New Orleans. The man pos
scsscd of this feeling strongly, looks upon
every improvement as an innovation, OF
an invasion of his rights. He is content
to let things remain as they are. He
must saddle his mule as his grandfather
did or he will be unhappy. The promo
theus spark of Progress has never awak-
cncd any vitality III him. Ic is a non
conductor. He lives, moves and breatEcs
in his own district, and was never guilty
of giving one idea holiday, that it might
ramble beyond the small space in whcl
he has been careful to keep it prisoner.
The most amusing instance of the ex
tent to which this feeling may be carried
that we remember to have heard of, ma
be seen in the following anecdote; A Gel
cbrated preacher, of the eloquently pa
thctic class, had been preaching at plac,
called Tatnal in Statfordshire, England
who drew people from all parts of thu
county to hear him. An old man "a dis
tr::ct man., who had not been out of til,
parish for twenty years, was induced to g
and hear this great and wonderful preach
er. He went The church was crowded
and the minister fully sustained his rtputa
ton as a popular orator by the effect h
produced upon his hearers. Not DIR,
eve was in the church, save the distric
old man. When hewas asked afterchurcl
was over, how he could remain unmovet
and with fearless eyes, when cyerybotl,
else was so affected, he smilingly repliet
that he '.did not belong to that parish !''-
OF course it was an unreasonable thing t,
expect a man belonging to one parish, t
be at all affected by anything which coul'
possibly occur in another!

''There is no doubt that all the branches
of the American navy have the benefit of
an education far superior to that which
can be obtained by the corresponding class
in Great Britain. In reference to this it

a knowledge of the currents of the ocean

of giving the Americans something very
