PAYISo FOR THE WHISTLE. We
learn that. at the Superior Court Of
Bladen county last week, a suit was
tried in which the amount in contro.
versy originally was one dollar aud
sixty eight cents and nine mills! The
suit of course originated before a JUS
tice Of the peace, where the plaintiff
obtained judgment; the defendant
appealed to the county court, where the
Judgment was affirmed another an.
peal, another trial. and the judgment
was again affirmed in the Superior
Court. The defendant is still not sa.
tlshed, and has taken an appeal to the
Supreme Court.
The cause of action was a Disagree
ment as to the liability Of the defend,
ant tor the board Of a schoolmaster.
who. according to contract, was to have
been boarded around among the neiyh-
bors, but finding that inconvenient, a
new arrangement was made, to which
the defendant denied that he agreed.
In this case the costs probably a,
mount to some SIS or 500, besides
counsel ices, which are doubtless CON-
siderable, as three LAWYERS appeared.
and they are notapt to work for nothing
In such hotly contestedscases.

ORCHARD GRASS.

ORCHARD GRASS.
Gentlemen: have a desire 10 give

snd advantage Of the orchard grass. ID
that particular portion of our agricultu.
raj friends whose lot IL ia TO cultivate
VET. or a. ~r saw. spoaty iaad. have
cultivated II an just such land for q
number Of years with much success, so
that ] can recommend it 10 others in
confidence:
FIRST. as TO cutting and securing the
seed. It should be cut before il skaters
too freely. bound 10 quite small sheaves.
and eight iD . shack. set vide beIa~
and pressed 10 d point at the top. in
which situation il will cure speedily !;
when dry take it in. pack il away in
the sheaf until it has gone through n
sweat; IL thrashed too saon and garner.
ed up. il will heat too high and never
vegetate; hence the cause Of much fail
ure.
Secondly, as to sowing the seed on
wet spouty land. il has. in all cases.
done best for me to SOW about mid
winter. IL will then, as the ground is
moved BY freezing and thawing. get in
well. aud when warm wheath:r r. comes
il is sure TO come up we'll. Pail seed.
ing has in all cases failed for me, as IL
never can get root enough TO stand the
winter. a bushel Of good seed per
acre will do very we'll. but one.half
more will do better.
Thirdly, The advantages of the or
chard grass are many its tendency to
dry up wet land is astonishing; il, in
a few years, so changes the nature of
the soil that il will produce perhaps
double the quantity ot wheat per acre.
and clover will succeed toIerahly we'll

the orchard grass would stand seemingly

has no equal. taking the season through,
u IS the earliest grass in the spring, the
latest green in the fall, stands drought
better than any other grass, and in
very wet tweather, when clover slobbers

but every farmer would be much bene.
fitted By setting apart some rocky or

it as a pasture field, to save his good

land would also be gamers to pursue
the same course. As for hay, think it
fully equal to timothy. but good clover

For hay, a mixture of orchard grass

To MAKE CABBAGEs HEAD.-Nothing
is easier than to make cabbage heads
all you have to do is to let your boys
play truant, dress dandified, lounge
about the streets without employment,
despise the honest laborer, &c.; but to
make cabbases head is quite diffcren,
and less understood affair, The Maine
Farmer has the following recipe, which
we recommend to our agricultural
friends as WORTHY trial:
Let them stand the usual time
and if they are not sufficiently formed
then, give them a chance to head dur.
ing the winter, by adopting the fol
lowing plan.
Dig trench on the side Of a hill
say foot wide and two deep. Let i
slope down hill sufficiently TO drain of
any water that may chance to find it.
way in.
Put layer Of straw on the bottom
Pull the cabbages up by the roots,
close the leaves together, and place
them in the trench, head down an,
roots up. Place some straw be.weer
them and the sides of the trench
Then take a:couple Of boards and SCI
! them over the trench 50 as to form
root, aud cnyer the whole over with earth
IN this way we have caused cabbages Il
form good heads during the winter, and
taken them out for use in the spri,.g. B,
putting them down roots up, you pre-.
vent any dirt from gettlng in among
the leaves. IL the water gets in aud

Extract from the Address Of Hon. A.
w. Venable,

w. Venable,
Delivered on The sh of June. ls53, before m
fico Societies at Wake forest College.
There is, however, another fruitful
source OF disappointments in our cal
culations founded upon the number o
educated young gentlemen, who annu,
ally make their entrance into society.
This is to be found in the multitude,
who, disregarding the great law Of de,
mand and supply, devote themselves tC
the two professions Of Law and Medi.
cine. 1t is often remarked that the
Legislatures of our country are chiefly
composed Of lawyers and doctors. This
Is true not however because these are
the only professions which lead to emi.
nence and distinction, but from the
Tact that vast proportion Of the edu>
Gated men OF the country have adopted
them. Education and intelligence con
troll society, and whether appropriated
BY one profession or another, the re-
suit is the same. For centuries, the
priesthood ruled with an iron despo>
tism the affairs of the world. Mo.
narchs consented to bear the degrade.
ton OF priests foot upon their necks,
and sued in sackcloth for pontifical
pardon. The cloister and the religious
orders had monopolized the learning of
the world. Monks, priests and cardi-
mails became the statesmen, judges, and
law.givers, and the whole civilized
world bowed to the dominion of their
orders. Under such system, genius
langulshed and society sunk into the
apathy OF ignorance, or wasted its re-
sources in wars dictated by sacerdotal
ambition. 1t was only when Luther Ii.
berated mind, by preaching the long neg.
lected doctrine Of justification by faith
justification independent of priestly
ahsolution, and rising higher than the
caprice Of surpliced hierarchy---a
truth which devotes man to communion
with his Maker through the revelations
of the Bihle-it was then that a new i'm.
pulse was given to intellect, and all
classes OF men aspired to, and attained
that influence without which social or
ganlzatlon becomes gloomy despot~
ism. The dominion Of clique of
scholars--a combination Of profession
al men. all engaged in the same pur-
suits-was broken and DESTROYED, and
christendom felt the reviving influence
Of the change. Religion had become
priestcraft, and bigotry and physical
sciences sort of sllght.of. hand mum-
cry, whilst the syliogistic triflings Of
metaphysicians, confused instead of
instructed mankind. Christendom a.
woke from its lethargic sleep, and Ba-
con, the great reformer in Philosophy,
restored science and logic to its legi-
timate position.
Although the same depl,fsbk consez I
quences are not now likel, to pe
SO great an extent, from tn !.
