Another Steamboat Sunk,


The Steamer Rosalie, from Dunleith, bound
for this port, was yesterday blown upon the rocks,
that lie on the East bank of the river about
hundred rods above Reeds landing,s and bad
hole was stove in her starboard side. She has one
hundred men at work taking out her freight, Of
which she has 800 or 400 tons for st. Paul. 1t
is feared she may prove a total loss. This we
learn from the attentive clerk of the Golden
State. ls- fai..t sq De- sgs.
CIPost Master Cave has leased the late Bald
win School House of Mayor Becker, for new
and more spacious post Office. The building is
being renovated in every part, ,and when completed
will have about y feet front, with ample room
in the balcony and the interior for the transaction
of all the business of the Office, and for the as-
commodation Of the public. Two thousand glass
boxes will be conveniently ranged in tiers along
the front, while beneath them will be built some
Eve hundred private lock boxes, SO constructed as
to be accessible from the street at all hours Of
the day and night. The Minnesotian says 60 Our
citizens can congratulate themselves" OF course
they can if they feel like it.; but hare they very
much cause for it after all? The Office will be
out of the business centre of our city, and will,
if we do not greatly err, be found very inconve-
nient to all parts of the city. 1t will be open to
public use in about two weeks-then we can sec.

at the bad condition of our sidewalks, particu-

is almost impossible to build without obstructing

large number of men are employed to expedite
business. Don't grumble--a short time will

The smalIe., Boat w. ever saw.

The smallest boat, perhaps, ever built, has ar
rived. She came to the st. Louis wharf some
time on Thursday night-remainod all day yester-
day; and is SO small that we doubt whether do
zen persons, altogether, noticed her at the land
ing. She was completely oyershadowed by her
larger neighbors. She is so small, that were she
living thing, We would have supposed that she
was hatched from an egg within the week.. The
name of the steamer is the j. Bissell, and she is
from the head waters of the Ohio. She accom-.
plished the trip in less than month, never rum
ming during the night, and slackenng her light
ming like speed at every dangerous place. This
wonderful steamers crew, including captain,
mates, pilots, engineers, clerks, cabin bows, stew
ards, cooks and chambermaids, consisted of three
men and one boy. The 8isselps dimensions are
the following: length over all 80 feet beam l3
feet; hold 2 l-2 feet. She draws inches light;
has one boiler, and inlh cylinder, with 2 feet
stroke, and is months old. Ere this she has
probably left for st. Paul, between which, and a
place called Minneapolis, she is destined to be a
regular packet. Although she has but one boiler,
one general eating, sleeping, cooking and writing
apartment, this steamer has two chimneys, which
really impart to her business-like appearance.

GT We don't know, but we are inclined to be-

and sundown whenever the dew of the morn.

gourd. The melon delights in sandy
soil, and 10 have them in their great
est perfection the ground should be
deeply spaded or sub.soil plowed'--
The hills should be about ten feet
apart. The watermelon vine is very
subject to injury from water; heavy
and long continued rains give the vine
the appearance ofhaving been scalded,
hence the necessity of planting on hills
instead of on level. Holes should
be excavated and filled in with well
rotted manure, with n mound made
over the manure at least twelve inch
es higher in the centre than on the
outside; on the centre Of this mound,
plant the seed, plant some six or eight,
and when they have four leaves, thin
out to three plants in a hill. AS the
vines begin to run, branch and bloom,
pinch out the terminal bud, which will
throw the whole vigor Of the vine into
the young fruit just set; as the fruit
increases in size, take off all but one to
branch, and allow but one melon to
ripen on one-branch vines.
An overloaded melon vine will pro-
duce but inferior fruit. The cultiva-
tor should bear in mind that the roots
of melons run just as fast and far as
the vine extends, and that the practice
of laying back the vines over the hills,
and blowing deeply between the hills
is very injurious to the crop. The
melon ground cannot be broken too
deep before the vines begin to run,
but it is positive injury to the vine
for the plow to 60 three inches below
the surface, over which the vine has
already run. Great care should be
taken in handling the vines when
working among them with the hoe
For every tcndril broken or bruised
on the vine, the fruit is retarded in its
maturity. Keep the ground clean
around the vines. and as fast as the
vine clongates Il branch, peg it down,
so that the winds may not blow them
about and break them. If the stri ped
bugs are troublesome, mix one portion
of guano to two of gypsum, and dust
over the vine when the dew is on--the
bugs will quickly depart.
The first melons that set on the vine
will mature in four weeks from the
time of the setting. The second sett
ings in about three weeks. As the
season advances, they will mature il
less time than three weeks. Fine
crops of melons arc made by usins

ripens should be saved for next sea
sons planting, provided it grew wher
no other member of the melon famil
could impregnate it.

Agricultural Newspapers and the
Duty Of Farmers to Write
for them.


4 >
Duty Of Farmers to Write
for them.
, Agricultural science is still in its
infancy. DARKNESS as darkness IT.
self" hangs over the pathway OF nm
who attempts to explore its fields. IN
! It's present stage of development,
some of its most important truths are
incapablc of demonstration. what
one approves both in theory and prac-
lice, another condemns. Phllosophl-
cal deductions and practical expert
cnce are arrayed against each other
And yet It's principles are as liked IN
their operation as are the principles
Of any science; and when they shall
have received the careful and philo-
sophical attention which the coming
wears are destined to bring them, they
will be found as demonstrablc as are
the truths Of mathematics.
In attaining so desirable and lmpor-
tant result, we must rely in no small
degree upon agricultural papers 1t
is their peculiar province to awaken
inquiry, direct it in proper channels
and stimulate the energies of the la
boring masses. That they have ac-
complishcd very much in this respect
during the last decade, cannot be de-
MED. We are indebted to them to a
great extent for the increased atten-
ton which has of late been given to
agricultural science. But broader
and richer fields, sparkling with rarest
gems, are opening before them; all
the sciences are coming to their aid
in clearing away the mists that have
so long enveloped the great truths OF
agriculture; educated intellect is anx-
ious to pay its deuoirs to those truths;
the best disciplined minds of the age
arc reckoned in the lists of practical
acriculturists. But whatever offer.
ings science may bring, whatever dis
covcries she may make, actual cxpe-
ricnce must attend her pari pasSn.
Upon farmers, therefore, devolves a
sort of moral obligation to give to the
world, through the medium of their
county papers, the results of their ex-
perience. And, dear farmer, when
you experiment let me persuade you
to do it with the utmost care and er-
actness-thus the reflex influence OF
your experiments will be no small
part of the benefits resulting there
from. When we can bring to beaI
upon the disputed points of agricultu
raj science the careful experience o
thousands of practical men, we shal
have done much towards their settle
ment, and therefore much for the ben
eft of the world. No subject offers 6
richer reward to patient investigation
SENIOR.
u There are many persons II
Franklin county, engaged in farming
who could, with little trouble, write
a column or more of their experience
and give it to the Journal for publica
ton. Our friend at Frogtown, ant
one or two others, have set good ex
amples in this respect, and trusting
that they will continue their favors
we hope they may soon be joined by
host of farmers who will contribute
even the smallest item that may be 0
value to their class.
