HOW ceasless is the round Of rural iabors"
The produce of one years seeding is scarce
secured ere the prudent, farmer is again busy,
preparing his land for another reception of
the golden grain; for if be sows not how can
he except to reap! If ever there is life and
animation upon the farm, it is at seeding
time. in autumn. The summer fallow is to
be plowed; the corn to be cut up and stock
ed; the potatoes dug; men and teams are
out at dawn, and fatigued return at dark.
The men being thus severely tasked Biddy,
or Kitty, or Dorothy sees plainly her duty,
and with milk pail upon each arm and a
lively step, awakes the evening echoes as she
sings q aH
kitty is the charming girl, .g}
Who carries the milking pail"
Ripe and luscious fruits load the tables, and
there is not a more joyous season than this
throughout the year. h.ecl asai
Though the harvest just passed has been,
in portions of the country, a rather discour-
aging one in some respects, yet there is good
ground to hope for better things another year.
The extreme wetness of the season may be
reckoned as an advantage over the Hessian
fly, which during its late transformation, has
no doubt been destroyed in great numbers.
The drouth of last year, with the frequent
and violentrains of the present, have so fully
unlocked the mineral treasures of the earth,
SO crumbled the finty particles of the soil into
dust, that they will be easily dissolved by
the falling rains and freely taken up by the
future crops. We may therefore calculate
upon an abundant yield from all good wheat
lands. We would advise sowing as great a
breadth of land as can be got in good order.
The war in Europe, scarce yet begun, will
make market for all the surplus we can
possibly raise to spare abroad ra.a

ROBBERY OF TIE BODY OF THE LATE Mr..
LovELAND. The Grand Jury sitting upon
the late railroad, not only found bill against
the engineer of the train, as we are inform
ed by telegraph, but also took action with
regard to the robbery of the person of the
late Mr.. Loveland, of Lacon, in this State.
We quote from the New York Tribune:
.sTsW 0s!e.d hra TChicago Daily Press.
The. Grand Jury also presented a bill
against Jabez Kingdom, ticket agent at the
Burlington Railroad Depot, who stands charg-
ed with keeping a watch and some money,
the property of Mr.. Loveland, of the firm of
Loveland, Greene d Co. of Illinois, whose
body, it will be recollected, remained at the
Lyceum several days unrecognized, and was
claimed by several persons. On the Tuesday
night following the occurrence, Mr.. Greene,
one of the partners, came on and identified
the body, and then it was that Mr.. Kingdom
made known that he had in his possession a
check on a New York house for $1,000 be-
longing to Mr.. Loveland, and which if pro-
duced before would have led to his Identified
ton. Mr.. Greene remained and made a
charge before the Grand Jury, but those gen
tlemen, tits currently reported, on Wednes-
day last decided not to find bill against
Mr.. Kingdom, and Mr. Greene abandoned the
idea of obtaining justice and returned home.
The indignation of the citizens of Burlington
was thoroughly aroused, and the Grand Jury,
finding public sentiment was 50 strong against
their action that the case was again brought
before them and the bill subsequently found.
Mr.. Jesse r. Sherman testified before the
Jury that on the day of the accident he saw
Mr.. Lovelands pocket-book drop from his
pocket, and picking it up, handed it, together
with the watch, to Mr.. Kingdom, Chas. Will
liams testified to having witnessed this trans
action. s...s, ..lt a rf

DECISION IN ADMIRALTY.

George w. Bearers rs. The Steamboat North america
This suit is brought by the of the barge Nancy
Beavers to damages for injury sustained by the
barge In a collision with the steamboat the Hudson
river The collision happened just below Magazine Point
about IL O'Clock the night OF June 49, 1853 The
barge was in tow of the steamboat Belle, which was
coming down from Albany with tow of twenty six load
ed barges and canal boats Three Of the barges were
ranged side OF the Belle the Nancy f. Beavers
being the iside the arboard side. The Belle
belonged TO the Schuyler line of towboat aud carried
the usual lights OF that line, light at the bow, ee
waited at the stern, and red light the pilot
fouse. There were lights on the barges The night
dark and cloudy that objects could be distinctly
only q short distance. As the Bel came round
Magazine Point her pilot tho lights Of the North
America and supposed she then just coming round
West Point. The North America about half way be-
tween West and Magazine Points when her pilot the
HghtA0f the Belle and thought she coming round
Point. Both vessels slow ed stopped and backed
their engines but not in 70 prevent the collision
The captain Of the North America deck, few
feet front OF the pilot. No others the for
ward deck TIE pilot supposed, when he saw the lights
Of the Belle that she the South America psssen
ger boat, which carried red light paddle box
and green one over the other He accordingly steered
enough TO the right TO pass her IL she hat not had
barges In tow and he did not discover his mistake until
too late The Belle rounded Magazine Point at short
distance and intended to keep the east side OF the river
down 10 West Point and 70 pass the North America
the left. Such a Of navigation usual for steam
bu. with food tide they keep the west shore. The
evidence was conflicting rs to the state Of the tide at
this time.
Held by the Court-That the North America had no
efficient look out according 10 the rules laid down by
the Supreme Court in the Of St. John Paine, in
10 Howard, and the case of the Genesee Chief in IL
Howard and this Is therefore pd fdce evidence that
the collision caused by fault her part That the
evidence given doet not rebut this pr,d dete case
but rather strengthens it, II she had had such look
out the probability is that he would have discovered
and been able recty the mistakes Of the pilot Of the
North America, 70 the lights in TO have avoid
ed the collision That the evidence the tide Was
food the navigation of the Belle the east size
OF the river therefore and fault her
part. That the collision occasioned by the joint
fault Of the two steamers and the damages sustained by
the lihelant must therefore be apportoned. Refer
ence, therefore, TO commissioner 70 ascertain the
