STlck TO THE F~ARM.-Amid your plans for the future
never, for a moment, harbor the idea of lettering your
condition by entering the arena Of commercial life. Dc
not exchange real enjoyment, for the turmoil and illusion
of a city residence. Barter not sweet repose for visions
of empty wallets, nor let notes due on the morrow as
sumo the prerogatives Of the nightmare. Very poor
comforters for care and anxiety are these little realities
in the commercial world. Stick to the farm. What
though hard labor be the every day command, it is
noble, healthful and conducive to the development Of
the whole man.
A gentleman, whose statement may be relied upon,
writing from lroquois County, Illinois, in reference to
Artesian wells in that county, says Three Artesian
wells have succeeded admirably in this county. The
water rises. over the top, and runs off in a fine stream.
The opinion is quite prevalent here now that good wells
of this kind may be secured any where in our prairies
at an expense Of 81 so per foot, and at this level they
will not have to sink them more than twelve feet"
Among the Jews the weight Of the shekel was about
half an ounce avoirdupois in weight. AS a coin it was
about 60 cents in value.

The great and important events-Religious,
Political and M~ilitary-now agitating the
nations of the Old World, give to these pub
licatioEs an interest and value they never
before possessed. They occupy q middle
ground between the hastily written news
items, crude speculations and flying rumors
OF the newspaper, and the ponderous tome Of
the historian, written long after the living
interest in the facts he records shall have
passed away. The progress of the War in
the East occupies a large space in their pages.
Every one movement is closely criticised,
whether of friend or foe, and all shortcomings
fearlessly pointed out. The letters from the
Crimea and from the Baltic in Blackwood's
Magazine, from two of its most popular con-
tributors. give a more ineligible and reliable
account of the movements of the great belig-
erents than can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three
great political parties of Great Britain
Wing, Tory, and Radical-but politics forms
only one feature of their character. Az or.

by the firm in Third street informing them that
the draft had been " received, presented, and

thing wrong, and while deliberating another dis
patch came announcing that the drsft had been
protested. The latest dispatch unfortunately got
into the hands Of clerk who knew nothing OF
the first one, and the man who presented the draft
being in waiting he informed him IL had been
protested, when he suddenly left, thus escaping
arrest for being concerned with some swinder in

SCENE In COURT DURING THE DALTON DIVORCE
TRIAL.-The Boston Traveller of Saturday thus
describes an incident in the court room on Fri
day, during the progress Of the disgusting Dalton
divorce case:
Some sixteen letters which passed between Mr.
and Mrs Dalton were read to the Jury on the pa ri
of the defence, to show the state Of feeling which
existed between the parties just subsequent to the
nogging affair of November IL. 1855.
During the whole time Mrs. Dalton was weep.
ing, and even Mr. Cove, her father, himself, was
much affected. The deepest stiffness prevailed
In court, and the most Intense interest was mani
excitement, Mr.. Cove was called to the stand,
still much Affected to give his testimony, and he
had hardly answered half dozen questions when
Mrs. Dalton fell back into her mothers arms her
face flushed to the temples, and in a moment was
insensible. Mr.. Emerson, her brother in law
and others Of her relations; took her in their arms
and bore her from the court room, followed by
her anxious parents. Her head hung helplessly
back over the shoulder of Mr.. Emerson and with
flushed cheeks, eyes closed and mouth half dis
closing her white teeth, she presented beautiful
but sad picture. -. -.
MIR Dalton himself was evidently alarmed. and
AFTER his wife left the room, sat like statue with
ms hands over his mouth, as If trying to subdue
ms feelings, whatever they may have been, his
lace meanwhile being crimson. Ten minutes
elapsed, and all remained breathlessly awaiting
the resumption OF the proceedings, when word
was brought In which induced Judge Merrick TO

The htelEeencey says Of the mails lettings


The IRte(LgeHceT says Of the mails lettings
on Saturday last:
"The large hall of the General Post ONCE was
thronged on Saturday morning with that enter
prising and energetic class of citizens known as
Mail Contractors. They were generally from the
States Of New England and New York and their
on this occasion was to learn the fate Of
their proposals for mail service, which have been
under examination since the first of the present
month.
1--WE understand that Postmaster General
Brown, after mature deliberation, and availng
himself ofthe wel-tested experience of the officers
associated with him in the contract branch of his
Department, wisely determined to employ the very
best service which. under the terms prescribed
by the law, he could obtain: and i'm numerous
cases he has added important improvements
which were deemed indispensable to rapidly
growing communities and the increase of bust
ness.
''About 400 routes have been let to cont ract In
the states referred to there were nearly 600 pro-
Posals, and upwards of 1000 for miscellaneous
routes in various states and Territories the neces-
sity FOR which has become apparent since the reg
ular Lettings in their respective sections.
- The proposals are all at a much higher rate,
probably twenty-five per cent, than those offered
from the same States four years ago This is
quite natural, when it is considered that since
that period. there have been large advances In the
prices OF labor as well as in horses. coaches and
all the apPurtenances of mail trans portation In
deed, from the comparative small number of pro-
pOSals for so many important routes we appre.
bend that many an enterprising and responsible
man has been compelled to throw down the reins
on account of the ruinous prices in that severe
part OF our country, where health life and stoc
