REDUCTION OF WHARFAGE. - At the last
meeting of the City Council, bill was intro
duced reducing the present rates of wharfage
upon tri-weekly and daily lines of steamers
plying between this and other ports, to one
third the amount now exacted. At first
thought, this appears to be an impolitic change,
but upon further investigation, and when the
matter is fully understood, we think every one
must admit the propriety and the justice OF
such a regulation. 1t is hardly necessary TO
remark that the boats in such lines occupy but
a small space of the wharf from the light
loads of freight they bring or take away, owing
TO the fact that the short time they are in port
bero they are obliged to leave again to make
regular trips, preclude the obtaiEing Of more
than light cargoes. Thus it will be seen that
the present rates paid by transient boats and
those which remain much longe- time, falls
heavily upon the regular daily aud tri-weekly
lines. Besides these, more oogent reason is
furnished by the fact that these lines bring a
vast amoung of travel through Nashville in
consequence of their regularity aud connexions
with other great lines of travel, than would
otherwise find its way to this point. The pro-
position, we believe, meets with general APP
probation, and We have no doubt it will be
adopted.

HOW TO MAKE A HOT-BED.

To write of this may seem to write of what IT
is supposed every one knows, but the past
weeks enquiries have convinced US that every
body does not know, or if they knew once, have
forgotten how TO make hot-bed, for growing
early vegetables We presume, therefore, to
give the following, simple, plain directions
for forming small forcing frame for the pur
pose above named Select a dry place, i. e.,
where the water drains off readily after, du-
ring riin-dig out one foot deep of soil from
space five by seven feet, have ready some fresh,
horse stable manure, which has been kept from
the rains and turned over twice during say ten
davs--take this manure and with fork shake
it carefully and evenly into the five by seven
space, being cautious not to tread, or in any
way to press upon 1t more than merely light
tap with the fork, very evenly over the whole,
while putting in say depth of two feet of it,
then have a box made OF inch boards, four by
six feet, fourteen inches high. side, and
ten on the other in other words have that
which Is to be the back Of the same four inches
higher than the front. Set this box upon the
bed of the manure, leaving six inches all around
uncovered. Now carefully shake into the bed
four inches deep more of the manure, and out
side, bank up the manure TO a level with the
edge of the box, and about an average of say
one foot wide. Now place your sash of glass
four by six, upon the bed frame, and leave it
twelve hours, then give a little air. close again
After about forty to forty eight hours you may
venture to put the soil, which should be of n
/ light, loamy nature, entirely free from stones,
DC. This should stand about twenty four hours,
wien you may give air, and if clear and sun
shiny, it is perhaps best to sprinkle lightly with
water, and after, say ten or twelve hours more,
you may venture TO seeds.
Ii seeds are sown at once, when the earth is
first put on, the soil is sometimes said to burn
from the heat and the germ of the seed is thus
destroyed.
After about ten days it is generally found ne
cessary TO renew the outside banking with fre sh
manure. The object of having the manure turn
ed over before using, is TO assist fermentation in
destroying the rank and noxlous vapors lniuri-
Gus to the plant-gardeners call it saceetenaq the
/ manure.
All light should be shaded a few DAYS after
being sown, and it is always best to avoid too
strong sun upon the frames while the plants are
quite young.

FARMING IN THE WEST.

As we shall speak OF the farming regions of
the West in another part of this paper, we Will
here give only few general facts, or a. least
what We think are facts. Taking the West as
whole, and comparing it with New York, we
believe that three acres here may be cultivated
with the same labor that two can there and that
the average yield per acre is about one-fourtf.
greater here than there. 1t this is so, which We
do not doubt, the difference IN labor and pro-
Inctiveness is equal, think, to the difference
in the market price of farm products here and
there; so that, were other things equal, farming
lands ought TO bear the same price here as there.
But other things not equal The farmer
here has to pay higher price than the farmer
does there for most of the necessaries and lux
uries of life; apd he is here deprived of some
of the comforts of life enjoyed there. Sui we
think these not equal to the difference in
the price % lands; SO we conclude that farm
ing lads here must continue to rise, and more
rapidly as the means of transportation are in
creased, so as TO cheaper the price of such
things as the farmer buys, and raise the price
of such as he sells.
Before Railroads We're pushed into this coun-
try, when wheat was two or three shillings
bushel, and corn ten fifteen cents, doubt
the ease of production, the great yield and the
low price had bad tendency upon the charac-
ter of many of the farmers. II took many
bushels of wheat to buy a suit of clothes. or
materials for making good dwellings that the
farmer would sooner go ragged and live in
miserable hut than attempt to buy in that way :;
and as there was but little stimulus to induce
him to raise more than was necessary to supply
the stomachs of his own family, the tendency
was to shiftlessness and the loosest kind of farm
ing. But things are different now Railroads
are checkering the country, and all kinds of farm
products bring good price, while eastern goods
and necessaries of life are proportionally cheap
ened. This, with the great number of New
Englanders and New Workers that have been
coming in, has greatly changed the character of
the farmers and now, where you find one with
this pioneer shiftlessness hanging about him.
you viii find ten with all the energy and thor
oughness of Green Mountain farmer This
change we consider vastly important for with
laziness and inactivity all the character suffers
while with energy and enlightened application
the whole character and consequently the whole
community, are improved. Thee are doubtless
many hardships and privations to be endured
by farmers IN some portions Of the West vet :
but for all that, it is the place for strong arms,
active brains and honest souls IFIs. Mirror.

The USE OF RArN.-Eyery inch OF rain that
falls on roof yields two barrels to every space
ten feet square; and seventy-two barrels are
yielded by the annual rain in this climate on a
similar surface. \ barn thirty by forty feet
yields annually eight hundred and sixty-four
barrels This is enough for more than two
barrels day for every day in the year Many
of our landlords have, however. at least five
times the amount Of roofing on their dwellings
and other buildings, yielding ann ally mere
than four thousand barrels Of rain wafer-twelve
barrels, or abou; one hundred and fifty ordinary
pailsful, daily.
