called upon to dress mana arm which had been mu-
tsted n the cog wheels of some machinery He made
every effort to rave the from snputation and in
this at the sacrifice of his life he has probably
succeeded. The arm having maturated he called on
his brother Hazard Potter, Of this village to assist in
opening it. During the operation he by some accident
cut himself slightly and allowed some of the virus
from the arm of his patient to ming9 with the blood:
This in few days had SO poisoned his entire system

The American State Council of Michi-
gan met at Detroit, on the 9th inst, re-
fused to indorse the Philadelphia platform,
praised the course adopted by the seeding
Michigan delegates, declared in favor of
the immediate admission of Kansas as a
Free State, and appointed delegates to the
American National Convention to be held
in New York. The Council also resolved
to admit to membership all Protestant
naturalized foreigners who can read and
write, and have resided in the country for
ten years.

Culture of Peas.

The soil best adapted to the pea crop is
that of loamy character, rather incliuing
to clay-such, in fact, as is called good
wheat soil" Good crops of the smaller
kinds may be grown on sandy land, but
hot and dry weather is more apt to prove
injurious, than on soils of moister charac-
ter. Green manure affects the yield un.
favorably, giving large growth of vine,
with tendency to blight. Fall-plowed
green sward on land of loamy character
is considered favorable situation. A soil
of medium fertility is all that is required,
for the pea takes largely from the atmos-
phere, and is an ameliorating rather than
an e1hausting crop, as it leaves the ground
in clean and mellow condition, and it is
often and successfully adopted as "greeu
fallow" for winter grains.
The preparation of the soil should be
the same as that for other spring grains.
Fall-plowed sward should be worked into
fine tilth with the harrow or cultivator,
and the same is true of stubbls land. If
any manure is applied it should be we'll
rotted, and thoroughly mixed with the
soil. In garden culture bone dust is often
used with excellent effect.
The amount of seed varies with the size
Of the peas and character Of their growth

What can be Raised ON One Acre.

The Editor of the Maine CMtipator, .
few years ago, published his mara cement
of one acre of ground, from which we
gather the following results:
One-third Of an acre of corn produced
thirty bushels Of sound corn for grinding,
besides some refuse. This quantity was
sufficient for family use, and for fattening
one large or two small hogs. From the
same ground he obtained two or three
hundred pumpkins, and his family supply
Of beans From the same bed Of six rods
square he usually obtained sixty bushels
of onions these be sold at one dollar per
bushel, and the amount purchased bis
flour Thus from one-third of an acre
and an onion bed he obtained his bread
stufs. The rest of the ground was appro-
priated to all sorts of vegetables fos sum.
mer and winter use-potatoes, beets. par
snips, cabbage, green corn, peas, beans,
cucumbers, melons, squashes, &C., with
Fifty or sixty bushels of beets and carrots
for the winter food Of a COW. Then he
had flower garden, also raspberries,
in great variety; and a few choice apple,
pear, plumb, cherry, peach and ounce
trees.
Some readers may call the above
"Yankee trick" So it is, and our object
in publishing it is to have it repeated all
over Yankee land, and everywhere else.
If family can be supported from one
acre of ground in Maine, tine same can be
done in every State and county in the
Uuiop.-Maine Farmer.

Fillmore. ALBERT PIKE, leading Ame-
rican of Arkansas, says, in . recent letter,
that, "under present circumstances, Millard
Fillmore will not be able to carry single
county in the South" And if the South
deserts him, as they have many another
man after "using" him to their purposes,
where can he look for the first chance for
an Electoral Vote?
As to ANDREW JACKSON douel-
son, the "nephew of his uncle" little need
be said. A favorite of the old hero, for
whom as member Of his family the con-
fding veteran did all he could, there is no.
thing Of him except his accidental connec-
tion with that distinguished character.
The Americans are not Frenchmen, to be
carried away by name. Educated as is
stated at Catholic institution, his horror
of Catholicism only came on after the
American party was organized. Publisher
of the notorious Washington Union, and
rabid denuuciator Of Clay, Webster, Scott,
and even Fillmore, be did not discover
their good qualities until his own party
refused to re- elect him printer to the Sen
ate, and Pierce declined giving him good
Office. Then, his "patriotic" soul burst
the fetters Of Democracy, and he became
furious American Boosting that be
owns hundred slaves, he only makes the
Fillmore pill more bitter to the lovers of
Freedom who are resolved-above all other
issues-to restore her rights to Kansas.
We have written much more than
we intended-have urged our views as
fairly as our information enables us-and
submit them to public endorsement or re-
lection as every mans honest judgment
and conscience shall incline him, "with-
out fear, favor, or affection" W.

ORGANIZING THE ARMY.-During the

am decidedly opposed to organizing the
army as you call it. Our forefathers fs

GooD LIoUoRs.-The present law pro.
videsagainst the sale of adulterated liquors,
and We hope that the provision may be
rigidly enforced. Good liquor is bad
enough; but the miserable stuff sold at
some hotels is little better than poison,
and every landlord who thus imposes on
his customers should lose his license.
Since the sale of liquor is allowed, we go
for pure article, and for closing the bar
of every landlord who sells anything else
