had touch of gardening. As long as

we shall have it in our power, by magi-
cal power given US, to sit down and call
up to our feet rows of beans, lines of peas,
battalions of corn, nests Of melons, wide
wandering cucumbers, and sweet smelling
herbs that makes flies frisk for joy, aud

honied delight.-Henry Ward BeecAer.
WELL DoSE Gov Pollock has re-
turned, with objections, the bill to provide
for the election of Public Printer at new
rates TO give our readers an idea Of the
vetoed bill, we beg leave to state that We
were offered Twenty thousand Dollars Of
a bonus, or a premium, for the State prin-
ting, in the three years contemplated by
the bill, provided we could succeed in be-
ing elected the State Ptinter. And the
best security in the State would have been
given us for the performance Of the work
The gentleman who made the offer, is a
practical man, and knows from three years
experience just what he could make after
paying the bonus to get the printing at the
prices proposed in the vetoed bill.-Pry
freeman.
