FINE TINES FOR FAKMEKs.-We have never known
brighter prospects ahead, than now are so apparent
for the farmers. Every article that is raised pro-
duced on the farm bears high price, is scarce and
in demand Wheat, corn, oats, Potatoes OF both
kinds, edibles generally at prices which amply
reward the labor of the farmer; and market for
them is found both at home and abroad. Then,
again. all the stock he raisc-cattle hogs, sheep,
horses, mules, &c.-cannot create surfcit-do not
even equal the wants Of the country and prices keep
remarkably high, with no appearance of abatement
Again, Rice, Hemp, Tobacco, Sugar, have been high
for several seasons her price more than renumer
ative is really profitable to the producer, with an
increasing demand. Last bnt most important ofal,
cotton bears price sufficient to satisfy the most
craving; and it, according to all the laws OF sup
ply and demand, must rule at or about present rates
for years. There is not single cloud to darLen the
brightness of the farmers sky Let him plant what
he will, raise what he will vegetable or animal and
there is market with good prices for him. He has
only to till the soil properly-to plant a variety Of
abundantly. There is no surplus of anything in the
country And the farmers can now work, work,
work. for they will be rewarded in good prices for
what their labor produces.

l1uguage Of this Court, in the eases of Plume
v Seward, Cal. and Murphy vs. Walhng-
lort, Oct Term, 1856.
The respondent contends that there was
no evidence to point the instruction, aud
therefore it was immaterial. On examina-
tion of the record, it appears that one of the
points of controversy was as TO the location
of the premises in dispute, and the instruc-
ton was pertinent in this respect, and
should have been given
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.

practice of those precepts which are alike our glory
and our pride In his efforts so to do, he has reaped

however from his claims upon our consideration as
patriot the testimonials of character and capacity
