IMPROVEMENT OF PERMANENT MEAL

IMPROVEMENT OF PERMANENT MEAD.
ows.-From the constantly increasing
price of Hay, farmers are beginning to
give this subject the consideration it de-
serves. We may therefore look conf
IDENTIFY for a speedy introduction of un-
derdraining, irrigation and top dressing,
and the happy results thereof. Some
may not believe it now, but trial will
prove it to all, that undertaking lies
at the very foundation of all improve
ments in meadows, or any wet land, and
irrigating and top dressing are useless
on such lands. There are many thou
sands of acres of wet land, now un-
profitable, which if underdrained, and
irrigated, (much of it with little trouble
or expense) would become the most
profitable land of the farm, and pay all
expense tenfold. English farmers are
behind those of some other European
countries, in these Improvements, but
far in advance of American farmers,
yet their humid climate renders irriga-
ton less necessary than ours. Yet in
England but few farms are without
meadows artifcially watered-and the
immense quantity of fodder produced
from them, helps to keep up, and in
crease the fertility of the upland por-
tons of their farms.

LITERALLY OBEY1NG ORDERs.-A
gentleman of this city, who prided him
self upon dressing salad thought, on
an occasion when party of friends
were dining with him, that his efforts
did not give the usual satisfaction to
them or himself-in short. that the salad
was not exactly the thing. The next
morning he demanded of his new Irish
maid servant: "What has become of

STUDY THE SoIL.-It is in vegetable
as in animal life: A mother Grams hel
child with arrow root; it becomes fat,
but alas, it is rickety, gets its teeth very
slowly, and with difficulty. Mamma is
ignorant, or forgets that her offspring
cannot make bone, or what is the same
thing, phosphate of lime, the principal
bulk of bone, out of starch. 1t does
its best; and were it not for little milk
and bread, perhaps now and then lit
tie meat and soup, it would have neither
bones nor teeth. Farmers keep poul-
try; and what is true of fowls is true
of cabbage. a 'turnip, or an ear OF
wheat. If we mix with the food of
fowls a sufficient quantity of egg shells
or chalk, which they eat greedily, they
will lay more eggs than before. They
cannot lay eggs without finding lime,
mortar from walls, or calcareous earth.
Let farmers lay such facts as these,
which are matters of common observa-
ton to heart, and transfer the analogy,
as they may justly do, to the habits of
plants, which are as truly alive, and
answer as closely to evil or judicious
treatment, as their own Horses.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE PREsI-
DErrs.-The Boston Transcript presents
to its readers the following compilation
of curious condolences in the names
and lives of the first seven Presidents
of the United States-Washington,
John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, John Quincy Adams, and Jackson:
"Four of the seven were from Yir-
ginia. Two of the same name were
from Massachusetts, and the seventh
was from Tennessee. All but one were
sixty-six years old on leaving Office,
having served two terms; and one of
these who served but one term, would
have been sixty-six years of age at the
end of another. Three of the seven
died on the ith day Of July, and two of
them on the same day and year. Two
of them were on the subcommittee of
three that drafted the Declaration of
Independence, and these two died on
the same day and year, and on the an
niversary of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, just half century from the
day of the declaration. The names of
three of the seven end in son, yet
neither of these transmitted his name to
son. In respect to the names of all,
it may be said in conclusion, the initials
of two of the seven were the same
and of two others, that they were the
same-and the initials of still two others
were the same. The remaining one
who stands alone in this particular,
stands alone also in the love and admi-
ration of his countrymen and the civili-
zed world-Washington. OF the first
Eve, only one had son, and that son
was also President"
Another curious fact may be men,
toned in this connection. 1t is that
neither of the Presidents who had sons
was elected for second term.

TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT OF SOLDIER
BY WHIPP1NG.-At Newcastle, Canada,
on the Cd of January, Peter Eator, aged
90, private in the 26th regiment,
Cameronians, underwent the sentence ol
a Court-martial, receiving 40 lashes by
the cat-o'-nine tails, for desertion, using
disrespectful and threatening language
to bis sergeant, and for two several
cases of theft. At the time appointed
for his punishment the troops in the gar
rison paraded in the square and were
marched down to the hospital, taking up
position Immediately in front of it.
The prisoner, after being stripped, was
tied up to the triangles by the arms and
legs, while the adjutant stood by to count
each stroke as it fell from the powerful
arms of the drummer, selected from
amongst others for aptitude in what is
called slow time'-a refinement oil
cruelty only known to the initiated
An observer of the scene that ensued
thus describes it, had expected a
bloody scene, but the reality far ex-
ceeded ALL had ever dreamed of in hu-
man torture. At the fifth stroke of the
lash the flesh rose up on the sufferers
back, the welts thicker than my wrist,
and the writhing of the body showed
the agony he endured. As each sue
cessiVe lash fell on the lacerated and
bleeding back, the blood flowed on all
around. After the 10th lash had been
inflicted he was united, and after stag
gering few PAGES, fell fainting, when
he was removed to the hospital and
placed under the charge of the medical
officer. He has yet to receive the re-
mainder of his punishment-namely,
104 days solitary confinement. The
officers of the regiment expressed them
selves against the fogging.

HE RICHEST SELL WE EVER HEARD
Owe find an account, in the East
Brooklyn Times, of new method of
''raising the wind" as well as the dead,
in that city, which takes down any,
thing in the diddling line of the season,
and indicates the extent and pressure of
the hard times. A female called few
days since on lady of some influence
in Brooklyn, and told sad and plaintive
story of suffering and priyation, and
moreover, that her husband had Just
died and that she lacked the means of a
decent burial. Her tale of woe so
wrought upon the lady that she pro-
ceeded to visit her Immediately, to salts
fly herself there was no imposture. On
entering the apartment she beheld the
coffin, and was satisfied all was right,
and not wishing to harrow the feelings
of the bereayed woman, she left her a
considerable sum of money, and i'm
mediately departed. After passing two
or three blocks from the dwelling, think
ing all the way of the strange complex
ions to which we are liable, she missed
her pocket handkerchief and returned
to see if she had not dropped it in the
house. The stairs were assembled hasti-
y and the room entered without much
ceremony, when what did she behold

THE HQssE -KsowN By Hrs EAss.-
The size, position. and motion OF tht
lears of a horse are important points
Those rather small than large, placed
mot too far apart, erect and quick II
motion. indicate both breeding and
snirit: and if 8 horse is in the frequent
habit of carrying one ear forward and
the other backward, and especially il
he does SO on journey, he viii possess
both spirit and Continuance. The
stretching of the ears in contrary di-
rections Shows that he is attentive to
everything that is passing around him,
and while he is doing this he cannot be
much fatigued.. nor likely soon to become
so.
1t has been remarked that few horses
sleep without pointing one ear forward
and the other backward, in order that
they may receive notice of the approach
of objects in any direction. When
horses or mules march in company at
night, those in front direct their ears
and those in the middle of the
train turn them lsterally, thus to be ac
tuated by one feeling which watches
their general safety.
The ear of the horse is one of the
most beautiful parts about him, and by
this is the temper more surely indicated
than BY its motion. The ear is more
even than the eye; and a
person accustomed to the horse can tell,
by the expressive motion of that organ,
almost all that he thinks or MEANS

his neck, he most assuredly meditates

The hearing of the horse is remarka-
bly, acute. A thousand vibrations of

sion on the human ear, are readily per-
,eived by him. 1t is well known to
every hunting man, that the cry of

BANK Morn CousTERrE1rrse.-Acir- cir
culsr has been addressed to the various
banking houses Of the Union, of which
the substance is, that bank notes which
are printed with back ink, and only on
one side, may be copied with accuracy
by the Photographic process. but it is
impossible to counterfeit note printed
on both sides and in various colors.--
Photographic paper can be impressed
on one side only at one operation, and
any attempt to impress the reverse side
subsequently, would destroy the nfS'
impression. Here is the "iacular;
20 Mvpcu.srs' EXCHANGE,
Me- ork, February, 1855.
nuss SIN: We beg to call your at
antion to the fact that copies of bank
notes have recently been made, both in
this city and in Cincinnati, by the
Photographic process. and with very
considerable accuracy. By this pro-
cess, the entire note, signature, and pri-
rate marks are copied, with this e1cep-
ton, viz: the red denomination printed
on the face, or on the back of the notes,
cannot be copied in color; i. e., it will
appear BACK.
Considerable alarm has been mani
tested by some as to the consequences
resulting to our paper circulation from
this process falling into the hands OF
unscrupulous persons. We think this
is needless, as every banking institution
can fully protect itself by adopting the
simple precaution of red denominational
printing on the face or back of its notes.
This has not yet been land we contend
it cannot be accomplished by the
Photographic process.
We consider notes guarded as above
entirely safe from Photographic counter
feiting; and if this check has not been
adopted by your institution, we respect
fully recommend it to your considera-
ton.
