to the quiet old Virginia counties on the
James River purchase lands increase their
value by cultivation, and build up towns and
villages. The bare proposition has thrown
some OF the old fogies VI Virginia into terrible
spasins. They cry out for prompt and forci-
bic resistance. They are for meeting the
lie. Mr.. Pryor's paper the "South" actual

IsrELLIGENr FARMlSG.-No business oc.
cupatioh affords better facilities for making
practical application Of scientific knowledge
and experience than agriculture. No more
honorable way Of making money by an appli-
cation of that knowledge, and no surcr way
comes within the range oflaudable enterprise.
Could the ,,.m i: losses ias every
of our fine agricultural districts, be fully dis
closed to those Interested, that disclosure
would effect revolution. But VIC have no
available statistics from which to make such
disclosures. But give to our farmers sons
the means of acquiring knowledge of,thpse
branches of science intimately connected with
the comforts of home and the productiveness
of the soil: give to the youthful mind the Gle.
ments on which to feed its powers and inter-
est its energies in the field of the homestead;
give to your youth in the country, a real agri.
cultural literature then compare the present
with the tenth year from this and the statis-
tics will be in your posscssiou.-W. Il. Chron.

NEW YORK AND VIRGINIA OYsTERs.-The
New York Times. speaking of the oyster
trade of that city, says:
The oyster Of our own waters is esteemed
more highly than flat of Virginia, although
ours for the most part are originally brought
from Virginian waters, and planted in the
bays and creeks in this vicinity. This pro-
cess of transplanting is carried OH for about
seven months in the year, and it improves
the flavor of the bivalvc wonderfully Those
direct from Virginia, on account Of their in
sipdity, are generally used for stews, while
our oysters are the kind served up on the
half shell, fried, &c All the dealers supply
themselves with a stock Of the transplantcd
oysters before the close of navigation, gene
rally sufficient to last through the month Of
January but if the supply from Virginia
should fail, the stock of those on hand would
be exhausted in three days Nearly 81 O00,-
900 worth of oysters are sold from the boats
at the foot of Spring and Catherine streets
every year. When the slips are crowded
with the oyster schooncrs and sloops, very
lively time is presented Those engaged in
the trade, for The most part, ignore bool<tep-
ing and conduct their business on the cash
principle"

SKIN DISEASES IN ANIMALS. -Scabies is q
pesti(elous disease, whether it affects the
horse, the OK, the sheep, swine or poultry,
inAicting loss not easily estimated: hence
the maxim Of every intelligent farmer is to
avoid it. With him, prevention Is better
than cure" and therefore his great dcsidera-
tnm is to guard against contag,oh. Sheep
are, perhaps, more subject to it than any OF
the other animals, arising as much from the
nature of their skins and coats as from the
fecundity of the acorus or,s. and the greater
vicissitudcs Of the weather to which they
(sheep) are exposed. Certain parts of the
body arc more liable to be affected than
others; and so is an unhealthy skin than a
healthy one. Indeed. it has been said that
