autumn Of 1853. the loss to that empire is
estimated o, 10000 men. The French
have, since their arrival in the Crimes, LOST
10000. dead or invalided; while The British
have suffered TO the extent Of 10000 men
The loss Of the Russians is vsrously es.i-
mated from 100000 TO 100000, and the
last calculation is supposed to be neares,
the truth. Austria too, though no. at war,
has suffered immensely by diminua,ion oi

has been obliged to place her armies. TAX.

lsborers of different kinds attached 10 The
armies, Of which there are thousands in the
Crimes, il may be assumed tina. six hundred
thousand men have persisted or become in

What the amount Of mortality will be when
operations shall be conducted on larger
scale, when bloody battles shall be Tough,
in The open field, and gigantic contests shall
decide the issue Of campaigns remains hid

In The United States, physicians have es-
timaed .ha, 10000 persons die every yea,
from the use Of tobacco. In Germany the
physicians have calculated that, Of all the
deaths which occur between the ages Of Is
and 26, one-half originate in the waste Of
constitution by smoking. They say tina,
the article exhausts and deronges the ner.
vous powers, and produces long train oi
nervous diseases, TO which the stomach is
liable, and especially those forms thu, GO
under the name Of dyspepsia. II also ex-
erls a disastrous influence on HE mind.

venerable friend in Montgomery county,

"Csn you not do good through the COL

The editor of the Farmer replies:
The day for considering any work dis
graceful that pertains to their calling, has
passed we hope with all true farmers. We
agree win our correspondent fully. that The
''younger Ones" especially, should do more
work with their own hands, than they per-
haps ordinarily do. The value Of The la
Dor is something, the influence Of the ex-
ample upon those under them is something
more, the vigor and strength Of body witch
moderate labor g i've are not TO be despised
But 1t is not for these slone,~ valuable rs
they all are. Ii is rather for the training
that the young farmer thus gets in the vari-
Gus processes of his srt-,hat knowledge
and insight which in no other way be con

which gives its chief value to The labor done

Complaints are coming in from Western
New York TO effec, lha, the conslan, sue
cesson Of showers within the pas, week or
Ten days, has proved very disastrous in the
whea, fields. The grain, though fully ripe,
could not be cut, or il cut, could no, be suf-
fciently dried TO be placed under shelter.
All that has no, been cut has been borne
down by the rain and badly lodged, end il
is 10 be feared that all which was no. housed
before HE wet weather set in, will be grown.
From Connecticut, it is also stated ,ha, rye
has suffered great deal from the above
cause. Potatoes, although planted in large
quantities, i. is said do no, promise well, in
CONSEQUENCE Of the supersbundance of rain.
Corn is also suffering considerably. A few
days dry weather arc now much needed by
farmers in all sections OF the Northern S.ales.
