SPRING SOD BREAKING.

In answer to numerous inquiries in
regard to breaking sod in the spring,
and the relative depth of blowing for
different crops, we would say, that
our experience is adverse to spring
breaking, that we know of no exccp
ton to the rule that deep blowing
will sometimes remedy the fault OF
spring breaking Our theory is this
When sod is broken in the spring,
the roots of the grass have already
commenced preparations for seasons
growth, and they will continue to live
ana Struggle for the mastery until au
tumn. Now, whiio those rocto arc
alive they crowd out as it were, the
tender roots of the young plants, and
thus prevent them from attaining
enough vigor to nourish a thrifty
growth above ground. Glover roots
do not possess the same tcnacity; but
spring broken clover sod is apt to be
infested with worms, and we have
known large fields of corn and oats,
sown on such ground, to be utterly
ruined by them in few days. Au-
tumn blowing exposes the grass roots
to tho winter frosts, which both kill
them and pulvcrize the ground.
Where the soil is very rich, exceed
ingly deep spring blowing may bury
the live grass roots so deep as to
smother them, and afford the young
roots of corn, oats, etc, room for nour-
ishment. 1t is subject we'll worthy
attention, and we hope to furnish the
farmers of the Northwest with the
experience of a number of our readers.

Rich MEN.-An unjust prejudice is
apt to possess the minds of poor peo-
pie against rich men. They think,
apparently, that wealth hardens the
heart of the possessor, blunts his SYM
pathies, renders him arrogant, &c.
The contrary effect is as often the
case. Indeed, it would be the nat
ural effect of liberal competency to
enlarge the heart, expand the bcnevo-
lent organs, and liberalize the mind !:

The PostOflice Department is hard
at work to keep up with the removals
made Necessary by the spread of Doug
las Democracy. No sooner does a
petty postmaster, in an insignificant
and unimportant place even, avow his
opposition to Lecompton, than his
head falls by the Executive axe, and
another takes his place. If the
changes which have been made during
the past three months could be pub
lished, no newspaper columns could
contain the list. The people see
only those important Offices which
are changed by the Senate's sanction.

AmituIturaI.
AGRICULTURE.

First in time and first in Importance,
Agriculture is destined to be also first
in honor The world is lightning TO
see that farming is not degraded
occupation, per sr-that its highest
success involves n necessity for a
knowledge of the whole range of natu-
raj science, that the true farmer is
not miserable drudging clod-hoppcr
but must of necessity be an intelli-
gent man, growing up into the practi-
cal philosopher.
All over the Union, and all over the
world, there is a waking up to the i'm
portance of more rational system of
earth culture,-the exciting cause in
Europe being necessity; while, in
America, the spirit of our institutions
and the genius Of our people, togeth-
er, combine to produce the result.
But even in this new country, where
the soil is rich in the mould of ccntu-
ries-whcre civilization treads eager
ly upon the heel of savage life-where
active young men are older than the
State they inhabit-even here, by q
reckless system of culture, or rather
by an almost total neglect Of culture,
the lands are so rapidly depreciating
in real productive value, that the slim
illus of necessity is beginning to be fell
already, in the glorious West"
This discovered importance of sci
ence as basis of successful husband
~, has naturally led to the establish
ment of institutions of learning devo-
ted to the special wants of agriculture
to a general effort all over the civil
lied globe for the establishment OF
agricultural colleges.
Europe already has 500 Of such in
situations, and the almost three-fold
crops of those countries where their
influence has begun to be felt, as COM
pared with ours, is demonstrative of
their value. We sincerely hope our
own State will not wait until oul
soils are all exhausted, before it pro
vides for the Inauguration of better
system of farming than has hitherto
marked, and still characterizes our
State. Let us have an institution
where the science Of farming may be
taught to the young farmers where
the practical utility of science may
be demonstrated on an experimental
farm, and from which our sons may
60 forth as well qualified to practice
their profession wisely, as any of the
learned profession are able to practice
theirs. We rejoice that move il
being made /; that there is an appreci
alton of the Importance of such edu
cational institutions for the laborine
classes of our pcoplc.-Farmer.

STEMBoAr Observation-Disclosures an anu
sing affair occurred on board the
steamer Parkcrsburg, Capt. Hanlcy,
plying between Parkcrsburg and this
city, on Monday. At the former place
a Young man from Marietta came on
board, with young female, whom he
represented as his cousin, and took
rooms for both. A person on board
recognized the girl as Of very re-
spectacle family above Parkcrsburg,
but did not know the cousin" who
secured the state rooms. Suspicious
that all was not right were communi-
Gated to the officers of the boat, and
during the night the two were found
occupying the same couch. Thinking
that if not married, they should be, the
boat was stopped at the landing on
the route, in the morning, and some
of the passengers having taken the
matter in hand, compelled the young
fellow to proceed to the town and get
a license, and then accompanied him
to the house of minister, where the
marriage ceremony was performed.
The happy couple concluded not to
come any farther upon their contem
plated journey, and probably returned
to Parkersburg to enjoy the honey
moon at their lcisure.--Cin. Gae.

County Superintendent
OF COM MON SCHOOLS

VI y " NJ vi u - I II ~ ~ LIZ
The question, Who is to be the Coun-
ty Superintendent Of Common Schools
for this County is one Of great impor-
lance, and as such it is hoped it
will be duly considered by the people
in making choice of candidates for the
office. The change in the management
or supervision of the Common Schools,
under the new law, will be very
great and if suitable individual is
elected, and his efforts are properly
seconded, it will doubtless exert a
most salutary influence upon the
schools and the cause of popular cdu-
cation.
Considering the compensation and
the amount of labor to be performed,
the difficulties and responsibilities at
tendant upon faithful discharge of
the duties of the Office, it cannot be
viewed as sinecurc, if indeed a de-
sirable position, in the estimation of
any one. 1t is evident that the law
is unpopular in advance, with con-
siderable portion of the people and
If any individual enters upon the Office
with the expectation of pleasing
everybody" or even escaping ccnsure,
he will be doomed to certain, if not
bitter disappointment.
If at present it is unpopular with
many, from the magnitude of the in
tcrests in the innovation, it is to be
hoped that all will be disposed to give
the Superintendent whoever he may
be-a fair chance by not interposing
obstacles in his way, even if they do
not approve of all the features of the
law creating the Office.
The great interests of education in
our common schools are of so sacred
character as to entitle them to ex-
emption from being made subservient
to the interests or ends of any clique
or political party and even if this is
not possible, it is clearly the duty OF
the people to look to the question OF
who are the best men for the Office
within their favorite political organi,
cations. However, it is to be devout.
ly wished, upon this all important
subject, that sectional and party feeling
may be laid aside. The only question
should be, who is the best man for the
Office that can be obtained?
For the greatest success and use
fulncss, a rare combination of quail
ties is necessary. Among those inds
pensable, are independence, integrity
and purity Of moral character, good
business capacity, sufficient edu
cational talents, familiarity will
the whole subject of education

whose hands have been in the work
of teaching, and whose heart still is
there in short, one who is willing to
devote his talents and energies to the
great and arduous work of clevatng
and advancing the common schools o.

LOmbardy PopIarS.

The Lombardy Poplars are bcauti-
ful trees, rising with their green spires
amid the little pillows of foliage that
surge in the summer winds around
their bases. They are beautiful trees,
as with scarcely audible rustic, they
slowly sweep the blue air of August
moons far up in the azure hollow OF
heaven; for so have we seen them from
the cradle, when we
Used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky,

body asscrted--some Mrs. Grundy,

after another-somc by the axe, and
some just died as they stood, as if Of

said the race of poplars had "run
out" because they were bachelors or
widows, or something Of the sort ;
which we could very we'll understand,
had they been so forlorn. But the
fact was, these exilcs from sunny
Lombardy were in disgrace they
were questionable !; they were ta-
boocd.
But lay the axe never so sharply at
the root of the tree, they cannot cut
down the memory of the old Lombar-
dies, that stood sentry round hundreds
of old homes that shed their shadows
upon messy roofs in the summers,
and their leaves upon the threshold in
the autumns the trees that, drawn
up in long lines, seemed forever going
