An Eventful History.

The Home journal says, it may not be
generally known, that JAMES SHERIDAN
KNOWLES, has become preacher Of the
Gospel His life has been an eventful
Que, and he is closing it in the best pos
sibie way, as a Baptist preacher.
MANY years age" says an English wri-
ter, "when We first saw hin, he was teach
er of elocution, in the good city Of Glas-
gov, where not few of his stripping pu-
pills who learned from his lessons 10 con
front and address 4 public audience, are
now to be found among the reverend faith
CTS of the church. Years elapsed, and we
again saw him in London at the height OF
his literary fame, when, after a long trial
and struggle, he had won for himself a
renown as dramatic writer only inferior
to that of the great authors If the seven
teenth century, and been proclaimed by
universal suffrage as the only man worthy
to be urator Of the house Of Shakespeare
And there we though. he would certainly
sit down for life after a career so distin-
guishel, and muse upon the past and the
future upon the classic banks Of the Avon
But instead Of this, he had entered new
field, and started upon a new life and af
ter several years of further interval We saw
him at the meetings of the Irish Mission,
in Lothian Road, Edinburgh, catechising,
and instruc;ing the wild Irish Of the Cow
gate in those pure principles of Christiani-
ty,which they had but lately learned, while
they listened with reverence to his eloquent
exposition, and seemed proud of their
countryman. And now, the end Of this
Strange eventful history is, that Mr..
Knowles, having become an old man, but
still animated with all the feryor, and
evnciug all the talent of Lis early days, is
devo,ing himself wholly and en.ire.y-and
we may add generously and g-atuitously
to the humble and laborious, but hal
lowed work of an evangelist !; aud, as
preacher, theological writer, lecturer, and
teacher, is on the alert, in every way, to
reclaim the vicious and instruct the igno-
rant wherever they may be found"

TIE FARM:
The Garslcn...Tiae Orchard.
The Largest Nursery in the World.

1t has been some years since Rochester
has become the head quarters for nurseries
in America From only few acres in
extent, as they existed fifteen or twenty
years since, tho nurseries within ten miles
Of the city new cover at least one thousand
densely planted acres.
The cost and annual product Of these
nurseries may be reckoned with some de-
gree Of accuracy, by taking as the basis of
calculation the estimates of several intelli-
gent nurscrymen Of tha. place-that a
rel managed acre would yield as an annu-
al average from two to three hundred dol
lars-the expenses varying from fifty to
seventy-five per cent. of this amount. 1t
would of course be greatly controlled by
the kind Of trees raised, the proportion of
ornamentals, &c, but still more by the
judgment, energy, and skill exercised BY
the manager-for under the direction of
some, the cost exceeds the profits, and the
business consequently soon comes to an end.
But it is not our present object to pur-
sue this inquiry, but to give to our readers
the results Of a few hours personal obser-
ra.iou Of one Of the establishments to

Pennsvlyania Farm School.

The Pennsylvania Farm School has been
definitely located by the Board Of Trustees
in Centre County, on the land donated for
the purpose by General IRWIN. We had
hoped ere this to have had the minutes of
the meeting for publication, with descrip-
ton of the property and its advantages
over other places in different sections, also
offered on favorable terms. The trustees
have no doubt acted FOX the best, and hav-
ing before them all the data for q correct
decision, which the public as yet have not,
it is only fair to presume that the location
in Centre county under all the circun.
stances was the most desirable.
We think the farmers in this section Of
the State have very uuwisely allowed this
opportunity to slip by them. The very
liberal offer in our late number of $1,000
was not seconded, or met in proper spirit.
and till the progressive spirit of the times
requires the establishment of another Farm
School in Pennsylvania, we shall be with
out many Of the advantages which would
have resulted from its location here This,
however, is comparatively small matter
the main thing being to establish tho
school under the righ. auspices, and some-
where in the State, so as to be open to pu-
pills from every section.
The selection Of CHARLES B. TREGo az
Principal Of the School, We think has
been most fortunate. Having had large
experience as teacher, filed promineu.
position in our legislature, being a prac,i-
cal farmer, author, and of well achuow-
ledged scientific reputation aud sbi!iiy,'he
warmest wishes Of the early friends of the
Farm School, we hope and believe, viii
be realized.
We shall give the earliest information
about the opening of the school, which will
probably he the coming spring

Ounce Trees.

There is probably not single Qai1soe
Orchard in Pennsylvania We have new
er CHANGED to see in any part Of the State
ounce trees, excepting in some obscure
corner Of the field or garden, entirely neg
lected, never pruned, manured or cultivas-
ed. A stranger aware Of tho fact tbas
good ounces always sell readily in Phiia-
delphia market, and at q comparatively
higher price than other fruit, knowing also
that hundreds of barrels, perhaps thou
sands, are brought here for sale in the fall
Of the year from north and east of US, would
suppose our soil not adapted to ounce
culture. This is not the case. There is
no fruit which, in Pennsylvania, would pay
better than the ounce, if properly culti-
waited They produce abuniantly, como
into profit in about three years after plan
ting, are hardy, require but little s;ten-
ton, can be placed closer together than
most other fruit trees, the frui. is moro
easily picked, and will better bear trans
portation. An idea is very preyalen! ,has
they do better on low moist ground. This
is mistake, originating from the fact that
they will thrive in such situations when
other trees will not. The ounce will d.
as well on high dry ground as the pear
tree. To do it justice, it should receive
every fall good coat of barnyard manure
well dug in, the bark should be cleaused
occasionally with the lye mixture, as re-
commended for other frui. trees, and At
tention should be given to pruning all de-
cayed wood or crowded branches, so IS to
give free access to the sun and air, and
make good symmetrical head
One of the best manures for the ounce
tree is salt, which should be strewn over
the ground every spring in the proportion
Of two or three quarts to each tree. This
has been fully tried, and found to increase
the luxuriance of the foliage and quality
Of the fruit. 1t is the special manure for
this tree, and should never be omitted.
The ounce may be planted in rows ten
feet apart, which viii! give four hundred
trees to the acre Two bushels to q tree,
and 81 so per bushel, which is low esti-
mate, will make return of over $1,000
to the acre.

profitable variety.-Farm Journal for Oe-

And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nober modes of life,
With sweeter manner, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood
The civic SANDER and the spite;

Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shades of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold,
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
