Sugnr Prospects.

The Cincinnati Gazette says:-"One of our
sugar merchants, just returned from New Or
leans, informs US that the coming sugar crop Of
Louisiana bids fair to be the largest ever made.
The high prices realized, havo induced planters
to bring into cultivation every acre Of land that
is available, and the planting has consequently
been more extensive than in any previous year
The new cane presents the most thriving and
luxuriant appearance" an
The Fredonia, N. Y. Censor says that proba-
bly, million pounds Of maple sugar have already
been made in that county, which, at the ruling
price, 1875 cents, is worth $l25,00o. Quite
an important item.
The Akron Beacon say:--"G. w. Hawkins
Of Bath, summit county, Ohio, has made, this
season, 700 lbs. Of maple sugar, from l40 trees
His sugar is very superior article, very white
and crystalline, and retains the fine maple
favor"
The Portage County, O., Democrat says
"Up to April the 7th, there had been made in
Desrfeld, this season, 1900 TBS. of maple su-
gar, and 1000 gallons molasses. John Lazarus
Of Deerfeld, made 1926 lbs. Of maple sugar, and
six gallons Of molasses from thirty trees"

In a somewhat extended biographical sketch
of the late Rev. DR.. James Meek, in the Meth
odist Protestant, it is mentioned that he fulfilled
the apostolic injunction, to 'rH!e WeN his o,on
house" and to train his numerous family, "ja
the nu3lue aud atlnwnitiot Of ite Lori" lie ed
ucated, and reared in comparative q6lae,sce, sew
en- daughters and six sons; and yet not soli-
tary piece of jcwelry, or Of gaudy, or extrayi-
gantly costly apparel, was ever worn by any Of
his children. His daughters, neatly attired as
they always are, with richly ornameuted minds,
pass as gracefully through society, without jew
ery, as any lalies of the writer's acquaintance
do, with or without jewelry and other gaudy
appendagcs.
TO extend this item little, the following
hints from the Ohio Cultivator, which has for
several years been popular with the ladies, fol
its Ladies' Department, may not be unaccepta-
Bile to our fair readers:
MANY girls are discouraged because they
cannot be sent away from home to boarding
schools: but men Of superior minds and knowl-
edge of the warld, would rather have for wives
women well and properly educated at home
And this education can be had wherever the de-
sire is not wanting.
'The women in towns and cities are becom-
ing SO universally extravagant, foolish, and fash
ionable, that men are almost in despair of OBJ
tanning wives who are not nvads, and of pro.
viding them with what they want after they
have married them, Unless the young mar
has the fortune (good or bad) to be the possessol
of wealth, he must spend the best bloom of his
youth in acquiring enough to start upon" as
people are expected to begia now days. Mer
even in high places would go to the country fol
their choice, if they met there equal rctinemcn
and intelligence.
"Town girls have the advantage of more
highly polished manners and greater accom-
plishments; but country girls have more house
hold knowledge and economy, health, (and con
sequently more beauty,) simplicity, and fresh
ness of impulse and thought"

support Your County Papers.

In every county in Ohio, there are ut least
two newspapers published, generally one of each
political party. As general thing they are
poorly supported. The editor has to he printer
clerk and pressman. He can i'll afford to de-
vote much Of his time to the mere editing OF
the paper. lie depends more npon 'the jobs"
which are brought to his office, tor support than
upon the income derived directly from his paper
If the Republicans and Democrats in each of
the counties would subscribe and pay in ad-
vance for their county papers, they would do
good work to themselves, their families. their
parties, and to the printer 1t is the local press
of the several counties which, after ALL has the
most influence upon the county elections, and it
is shame that they are not more geferally
supported.
As it is, the profits of the profession are conf
ned chiefly to the largest cities like New York,
Cincinnati, &c. The Tribune weekly has very
extensive circulation in Ohio and yet it seldom
contains as much information Of real use to the
subscribers as the well conducted county pa
pers. The city papers print large editions
They derive large revenue from their immense
advertising patronage. They are thus enabled
to have corps of editors to take charge of the
various departments of the paper There are
upwards of forty persons engaged in editing the
Daily Tribune, exclusive Of their foreign cores
pondents.
We presume that there are not less than ten
or dozen persons engaged in the same way up
on the Gazette and Commercial of CINCINNATI
In this way they are able to make much bet
ter paper than the country editor can possibly
expect to make, who not only has to make his
own selections, write his own editorials, but set
up, print off and mail his own papers. If the
county papers were supported with sufficient
libcrality, as they ought to be, to permit the ed
itor to devote his whole time to che editorial de-
partmeat, the people of the county would be
great gamers by it, As affairs now stand, we
can only hope that an effort will be made in each
county in the State, to increase the subscrip-
ton lists Of the local papers, including those O.
our own county, COL Jour.

GS5-The London Examiner is very much
shocked at the want of taste displayed by one
of Mrs. Beecher Stoves adopted country-wo-
men, the niggers, and quotes the following with
great disgust:
"a few weeks ago. says Southern paper, an
abolitionist from Chicago came to this city. He
met witha mulatto girl at negro church. The
abolitionist, after brief courtship, wooed and
won the 'colored gall They were married by
a colored minister and started for Galena on a
bridal tour. At Galena Dinah met a steam
boat cook, upon whose skin charcoal would make
a white mark, who was formerly beau of hers.
The darke upbraided her for her faithlessness
and infdelity. He pleaded and fiowned by
turns, and then made love in fond words OF
burning devotion. Dinah could not Withstand
his eloquence. She tainted in his arms, ex-
claiming, Il am dine, am only dine!" This
interview took place on the boat while the hus-
band was up la town looking for hotel
When he returned he learned that his fair bride
had eloped with the darkie for parts unknown y
M Y NesOs.
If the Duchess of Sutherland had planta
tion, how much sympathy would she give the
chubby little niggers and the musical darkies?
AS much, possibly, as she did her Scotch ten
ants, whom she shipped off like convcts to
Australia, to make her Park larger

Thus far he has only superintended his busi-

smsnmer Management Of Sheep.

In the Spring, do not turn your sheep into
the pasture until it is well up, or until it is an
kle high, so as to have something to shade the
ground; keep your sheep close, and feed them
hay and grain Of some kind-they will eat it if
kept from grass. When put upon pasture, have
three or more fields, and change them often, SO
that their pasture may be sweet. l have
known neIghbor lose three hundred sheep out
of six hundred in one summer. He divided
them into three parts, and put them in three
large fields, with no shade except what the
fence on the south side of the field made. The
sheep lay along tho fence, and when the nose
fly came, the sheep were to be seen running
with their noses to the ground, fighting the fly,
and eating only just enough to keep life in
them. The sheep did not go more than eight
or ten rods from the fence, and this was eaten
close to the ground when there was plenty Of
pasture on the north side of the field; as con
sequence the sheep poisoned themselves in their
own filth. The fly laid its eggs in the nostrils
Of the sheep and they soon died in great num-
bers of "Worm in the head"
Now, you would ask, how should he save his
sheep? He should have put them all in one
field, and forced them to so farther from the
fence; and about two or three days after the
first shower, he should have changed them tC
another field. Whenever you see your sheep
run with their noses down to the ground, drive
them to your fartherest pasture, the fly will
stay about where the sheep have lain. Keep
changing them from field to field, and you will
not be troubled with worm in the head."--
J. D. CHAMBERLAIN, in GeMesee Former.

C,sItivating young Trees.

FRIEND HARRIs:--The most perfect tree can
be raised from planting the seed on level land,
with soil ofequal fertility all around it, because
trees, like most other things, lean to the source
from which they derive their nouriShment In
exposed situations, trees lean from the prevail
ing winds, to counteract their influence.
The reason why a tree bends to pile Of
manure on one side fit, is that it makes the
wood faster on that side, and the heart of the
tree is soon nearer one side than the other 1t is
notorious fact, that all timber springs from the
heart, as all hewers know, and when one side
gets thicker and stronger than the other, it bends
the tree towards the thick side. Trees attain
size faster without triming than with. And
have never been abba to discover any advantage
in pruning fruit trees, except sometimes when
forks occur low down, and if allowed to grow
would split apart and ruin the tree.
Persons wishing to set out orchards had bet.
ter set out trees at one year old, than wait fol
them to get slim in the nursery; they are check.
ed less by removal, and will become profitable
sooner. 1t has been thought that fruit trees
ought to be six or eight feet high without
limb but experience has satisfied me that it is
better to let young trees branch as low as they
will A person can gather twice as much fruit
standing on the ground as he can creeping abou
on ladder 20 feet long. A short body is abl'
to sustain more fruit than long one Of The
same size. Besides low limbs prevent the for
nation Of sod under the tree All young tree,
should be manured and cultivated as carefully a:
vegetables.

The Governor has made quite an elaborate review
Of the State finances, aud brought some things 70
light which had been covered up. Somebody said,
ed" and this maxim is adopted theoretically and
the handling of the public money in the last ten
practsed, is to get as much public money spent as
possible, in the way of salaries interest, exchange,
commission, extra services, &c. BE must know very
little of modern fDaoceriDg, who, having the eX-
penditure Of large sums Of money, cannot make
something out OF it. The celebrated Swartwout, in
q trial instituted by the government, claimed to
balance nearly the whole of his two million deficit
by set off for commissions, extra services &c. In
this State we have had such splendid examples
Of financial skill; and on the WHOLE our fin 4ncial
abilities have been confined within the limits of
common sense and common honesty. Still there
are some things which indicate we have q latent
talent for the more fashionable modern attainments

long story, what was in jest turned out to
be in earnest; for in less than six months,
in that very room, stood up to become
Mrs. Tompleton. How it all came about
[ hardly know. Harry, for this is the name
by which I call Mr.. Tompleton, says I en-
tered the parlor. so transformed, my light
blue tissue floating about me so like cloud
wreath, my cheeks SO rosy, my eyes SO
bright, my curls playing such hide and seek
about my face, that, not expecting such an
apparition, he lost his heart at once. He
adds, for he still knows how to compliment
as well as ever, that my gay, yet intelligent
talk, SO different from the demure Miss he
had expected, completed the business.
Harry was the son of an old neighbor,
who had been abroad for three years, and
before that had been at college, so that I
had never seen him; but uncle remembered
him at once and had insisted on his staying
until I came down, though Harry, from
delicacy, would have left after an inquiry
about my health. My uncle was one of
those who would not be put off, so Harry
remained, ''the luckiest thing" said he, Il
ever did,"
Milo is now my favorite steed, for Harry
broke him for me and we are all as happy
as the day is long, uncle included; for uncle
insisted on our living with him, and I told
