PROPER CULTIVATION OF LAND.
MEssRs. EDlToRs:

MEssRs EDlToRs:
Looking over the first number of
your paper under its new name | was
pleased to see a portion devoted to
Agriculture, branch of productive
labor in which all have one common
interest. and which appears to me, in
Franklin County, is demanding the
attention of every farmer. With a
soil admitted to be. not the strongest,
yet, beautiful, kind and easy to till /;
with subsoil in many parts of supe-
rior character,-neither too tenacious
nor too open and porous, and which
has been proven by experiment to be,
when turned up to the sun and atmos-
phcre, very productive, now cannot
such land be made the very best by
proper treatment! First keep it from
being trampled and poachcd by stock
in wet weather during fall, winter,
and early spring; then plow deep
with good turning plows, carefully
save and judiciously apply all the ma
nure not only that is made but all that
can be made. The soil would then
become deep and loose, would let ex-
cess of winter sink below the roots of
plants, and like the sponge would alb
sorb the dues and moisture beneath
when there was deficiency of water
1t would admit of light and air, both
Of which arc requisite to termination
and growth.
Grass seed when sown on such soil
will take deeper root, will not throw
out so readily by the frost, nor dry up
by the sun. would suggest that some
of your intelligent farmers land you
have multitudes of that class try at
least a small lot in this way, then
grass down with eight quarts of clover
and four quarts of timothy seed to the
acre. Mix and sow early in the
spring. Pasture very light the first
year, leaving a small part to cover
and protect the root in winter. The
next year do not let it get more than
six or eight inches high before turning
on stock. Crop it smartly, then let it {
shoot up, then crop again. leaving all l
tho time sufficient to protect the {
ground from sun but not enough to S
smother the root. With this treat
ment if it does not grow well, pay
well, perpetuate and renovate well,
then have judged incorrectly of your
climate and soil.
If mistake not it would develop
the resources of the soil and satisfy
the farmers that they are now holding
-. their hands the elements of immense
-th. 1t will prove another fact,
Mat with proper care and judicious
pplication of manures it will en-
nance the value of products of the
soil enough over the present system in
this county to give to each child in it
agood English education.
The injury done to fruit trees by
feeding or letting stock of all kind
trample, bruise, and in various ways
injure, is a matter of Importance
Fine young orchards are rapidly sink
ing to decay from these and similar
causes. The large stock of hogs kept
by most farmers soon destroy an Or
chard when fed among the trees
Look, farmers, apd see for yourselves.

Railroad Grant.-.PrOSpectsG Good.

Mr.. Pike, Of the New York Tribune,
writing from Washington under date of Dec.
24th, makes mention Of our proposed Rail-
road Grant as follows
- A bill is perfected of most extrava-
CANT character, by which grants are made OF
l,500 miles of railroad in tina: Territory,
Minnesota which it is proposed to pass
without examination, and without debate,
and which. if passed, will do for Minnesota
what bill of similar character dill for
Iowa last year-shut every land-otfice in the
Territory and hand all the good lands over
to the spectators.
" Its terms are otherwise alleged to be o.!
a most Objectionable character. and so cor
rived as to secure the prompt passage of
the bill. In a word, the thing is said to be
fixed"
We p esume our readers are aware Of the
fact that the principle of the Tribune, upon
this land grant question, is to oppose all
grants for railroad purposes. We trust that
the writer of the above may be correct in
is opinion that g. the thing is fixed" Min
nesota will risk the consequences, and be
glad Of the opportunity to do so.

Minnesota Legislature.

After considerable sparring" on the part
OF the " Democratic" minority yesterday,
the Republicans succeeded in electing their
Speaker, Hon. J. W. Furber. The morning
session was opened by move on the part Of
Mr.. Murray, Of st. Paul, to virtually eXpel
from the body three Republican members,
viz: Mr.. Hetchman of st. Anthony, Mr..
Thomas of Steele, and Mr.. Case of Houston.
Two of these gentlemen did not happen to
be in their seats on Wednesday, and the
third one, (Nlr. Hetchman,) was there with
out his credentials. All, however, were on
the floor Yesterday morning, with their GER
tifcates, when Mr.. Murray made his motion
to disfranchise their several constituencies
by excluding them from participating in the
organization and, strange to say, he was
backed by the entire Democratic vote of
the House. Owing, however, to the inte-
gritty and firmness of Mr.. Edwards, the
Chief Clerk, this high-handed outrage was
very decidedly nipped in the bud. We
could find no Democrat ontside the bar who
even attempted tojustify this unprecedented
proceeding. One thing is very certain: no
party can live long in Minnesota that at
tempts to gain its ends by such course.
We congratulate the House upon its
choice Of presiding officer. Mr.. Furber,
long since, has been tried in this position and
not found wanting.

g. May our Lodges be distinguished for Love, Peace

6. May our Lodges be distinguished for Love, Peac
and Harmony.
Bro. Crosby entertained the company will
one of his interesting songs in response t.
| the above.
Bro. G.. l.. Becker made few remarks in
response. 1t was we'll known that at the
building of the temple of King Solomon the
sound of no working tools was heard-the
material having previously been quarried,
dressed and fitted with such exact niceness
In like manner let US Masons SO conduct our
lives that the sound of discord will never be
heard.
I. The Masonic Lodge the neutral ground Of Political
and Religious prejudice.
Bro. j. j. Noah, of Mendoza, responded
lie claimed that the language of the toast
was correct. Masonry was the true neutral
ground by which We could settle all our
political and religious differences. 1t had
been said that Masonry was the hand
maid and supporter of Christianity /:
but this was not strictly true. 1t originate, /
among the Jews and was still among them.
They promulgated it and still support it.
II did not ask man whether ne was Chris
tan or Jew so long as he acknowledged the
Supreme Being. 1t was the common ground
on which Christian and Jew could meet.
:. St. Johns Lodge No /, the Pioneer Lodge of Min
nesota
Responded to by Bro. A. Van Voorhees,, of
Saltwater, who gave most interesting &C
count Of the state of the order at the time
he Joined it, upwards Of thirty years ago.
He also gave an account of the formation Of
the first lodge in the Territory at Saltwater,
seven years ago.
9. May the boundary line which separates our own
from the jurisdiction Of sister be marked by
brothery love.
Bro. ". w. Phelps, of RedWing, respond
ed. In our lodges, said he, the social quail
ties are cultivated. We forget politics or
local strifes on the altar of Masonry. A
good Mason would be a good citizen wher-
ever he may be found. He concluded by
rendering, on the part Of the members of
the Grand Lodge. their heartfelt thanks to
the brethren OF st. Paul, for the sumptuous
of which they were recipients.
10. May the morning have occasion censure the
night spent by Freemasons.
Responded to very happily by Bro. Geo.
W. Prescott.
The regular toasts now being through with
many volunteer sentiments were offered. to
which responses We're made by Bros. Pen
man, Hodgden, Hall, Dewitt, Randall and
others.
The company separated about one o'clock
in excellent spirits.

Slave InsurrcctiOns.

We find the following in the Louisville
papers Of Christmas day:
PROCLAMATION BY THE MAYoR.-Atten-
ton is called to the following proclamation
of the Mayor. 1t explains itself:
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, l have received information.
which, if true, shows disposition on the
part of colored persons to an instruction
| have therefore deemed it proper to suggest
the fact 10 the public, and to request all per-
sons having slaves under their charge not tc
allow them to be from home after s O'Clock
p. NJ, especially during the holidays. In
structOns have been given to the Chief of
Police to arrest and imprison all colored per-
sons found abroad after that hour.
JOHN BARBER, Mayor.
Mayors Office, Dec. "a, 1855.
In view of the foregoing proclamation, re-
quest the citizens OF Louisville to keep a
vigilant eye on their servant is and not allow
them to 90 from home after eight O'Clock, as
have given instructions to the police to
arrest all colored persons found out after that
hour during the holidays.
j. KIRKPATRICK
Chief of Police.
IN Ordinance TO REGULATE the DiscLarye OF
GAaS aad Frssc0rks:
Any person who shall discharge a gun
pstrl, or other fire arms, or any person who,
shall set off squib, cracker or other fire.
works in any public place, or send up paper
balloon or sky rocket, or throw a fire-bali
within the city, shall be fined four dollars.
The Courier says, editorially and sensibly
we imagine
The talk of the Mayor in his proclamation
about an intended instruction here, is a
piece Of the greatest absurdity we have
ever heard of. Nobody believes such a
thing was ever contemplated, and it is unfor-
tunate that the public mind should be ex
cited by such rumors assuming an official
shape.
RUMoRED NEGRO STAMPEDE.
The Kentucky Wing, Of December Goth,
printed at Mt. Sterling, Montgomery county
KY, says:
We understand from the Sheriff of Bath
County, that the negroes from the Iron
Works have made extensive preparations for
an insurrection, and they intend to steal
some seventy horses and start for the Ohio
River. They say that they do not intend to
hurt any one. but if they are prevented, will
fight to the point Of the bayonet. They are
all armed with guns and pistols. The Judge
of Bath County has appointed two hundred
and eighty patrols to protect the people.
This is an extraordinary story, and full o.
improbabilities, but is fair specimen of the
exaggerated rumors that are shocking the
nerves Of persons South of the Ohio River.
