State Election in Connecticut April 9TH Thu
Republican majority for Governor in 1856, was
but SAG. There is a good opportunity to see
what effect the Lecompton struggle will have in
that State, notwithstanding the fact of the
Lecompton opposition not having yet taken
shape, and the result will be less significant.

Mr.. BoYcE Dear Sir,-Sometime since
correspondent to the Freeman signing himself
L. IL. NJ states that there has been tempe
rance reformation in this place, and that the
names of 'four old drunkards were on the
pledge. A query arose who was meant by the
four named-as many more than that number
had signed the pledge, who had unfortunately
made use of ardent spirits as beverage. The
facts are as follows:
A certain individual in this village, who had
been unfortunately addicted to the lntemper-
ate use of ardent spirits, yet ono who was pos
sessed of more than ordinary talent, and good
sense, not long since resolved that if associates
would join him, that they would make an effort
in the temperance reform. His former asso-
ciates readily asserting to this, a meeting was
called, and Total Abstinence Society formed,
with the above named individual at its head
Affixed to the constitution of that association,
was a Total Abstinence pledge. Measures were
Immediately taken, to hold meetings in various
parts of the town, and committee in each
school district was appointed to circulate the
pledge. The result has been, that about six
hundred signatures have been obtained to the
pledge, and among them are the names of the
most of those in this part of the town, who
have been accustomed to use spirituous liquors
as a beverage.
This Society on the 10th inst. had Levee
which was a very interesting occasion Rev. II.
P. Cushing of your village delivered the ad-
dress, which was pointed, efficient and satislac-
tory 1t was estimated that five hundred was
present, and that about four hundred partook
of the refreshments. II. W.

a man so degraded-so lost to all sense of jus

CUcUMBERs -When cucumber is taken
from the vines, let it be cut with knife,
leaving about the eight of an inch of the Gu
cumber Oh the stem, then slit the stem with a
knife from its end to the vine, leaving small
portion of the cucumber on each division, and
on each separate slit there will be new cucum-
bers as large as the first Those wishing to
raise large quantities of this article for pick
les, will do well to try the experiment.

A REcIpEFoR MAKING Brown Bread
will give you my recipe for making brown
bread, which | have adopted of late and find
it very good. Take two quarts of corn meal
two do. of shorts, one tablespoonful of salt,
one teacup Of molasses. Stew squash or a
good pumpkin, in water sufficient to wet this
mass; pour it on boiling hot. When cool
enough, add pint of yeast and two quarts
of wheat flour; this will make four loaves.
When light, bake three hours

ASHES FOR CORN Knowing that many
farmers value ashes very highly on corn, and
having seen their effect myself in other pIa-
ces; and also having used them here without
seeing any very beneficial results, L would
like to inquire through the Rural whether
ashes are beneficial on all kinds of soil, as
do not wish to be at the expense OF using
them unless it will pay" The soil here con-
tains lime in considerable quantities, and
have come to the conclusion, after using them
three years, that they 10 not benefit corn as
much here as where the soil does not contain
lime. A certain gentlemen, with whom |
formerly lived. was OF the opinion that ashes
were worth fifty cents per bushel on his land
and l verify believe they were. His land did
not contain lime, and the effect of ashes was
very great. Any information upon the sub
ject will be very gratefully received by a
young farmer. >. L. H.,
No. Tunbrldge, Vt. 1858.
REMARKs.-Ashes prove the most benefi-
cal on light, sandy soils, and these generally
lack lime. That such soils are greatly bene-
flied by ashes is not strange, when we consid-
er that the ashes of cur common woods, as
beech, oak and elm contain from forty to fifty
per cent of lime, besides a large quantity Of
potash.

Radishes.-If any of our readers who can.
not raise good radishes, on account Of worms
or suitable soil, will strew common wheat
bran, one inch thick on any good soil, and hoe
it in, and then plant the seed, they may eat
as good radishes as anybody can grow.

Early Vegetables.

1t should be a matter of study to learn IN
what way few days in advance can be ac-
complished in producing culinary vegetables.
All those crops usually or able to bear trans
planting, should be brought forward by every
facility that can be employed for this purpose
Whether this is to consist of box in the
kitchen window, for few lettuce, cabbage,
tomatoe, &c, or the hot-bed, or front shelf
oil greenhouse, must depend in a measure
upon the resources at command for the pur-
pose. 1t is not uncommon to find persons
with rather poor contrivances, little, if any
behind their neighbors who may have every
facility but not judgement or zest to apply
them to the best account. To see the border
on the south Or sunny side of building or
fence devot d to small beds of carrots, round
beets, radishes, lettuce, cabbage, and the like
even if only small in quantity, argues thor
ough devotion to making the most of cir
cumstances within reach. Such border, be
it wet and clayoy, is greatly modified for the
purposes named, by being elevated a foot OR
so above the surrounding level: then mix
goodly quantity of sandy material with the
soil it alone, every thing else being equal,
will hasten the early crop from seven to ten
days at least The fine particles of sand
readily absorb the heat from the sun during
the day, which greatly assists in warding off
any extra GOODNESS that may occasionally visit
us OF II trying late season. In case of de-
cidedly cold blow, which usually does not last
over three days at most, an exceedingly thin
coating of hay wards off much danger, and
may be the means of saving a crop. Then
again a few dozen boxes with pane of glass
to each, are very useful in protecting toma-
toes, cucumbers, melons, caulihowers, &c..
through such an ordeal. Taken in the long
run, how little their cost, yet how useful.
Nor must proper kinds Of early sowing be
lost sight Of The round Or Bassano beet
will come fit for use ten days before any long
kind so of Early Horn, Or French Short
Horn carrot, over either the long kinds: the
small Early York, over larger kinds of cab
bage; the true Ash-leaf over other kinds of
potatoes; the Early six weeks over later
kinds of beans the early over late kinds OF
peas Woods Early Frame, over the turnlp-
rooted radish, and so on.-Country Gent.

Do they miss me at home do they miss me?
'Twould be an assurance most dear,
(ro know that my name was forgotten
As though had never been there.
To know that the tailor and landlord,
And the bank where my paper is due,
And hosts whom cannot now mention,
Has banished me quite from their view.
Do they miss me at home do they miss mes
When the market for money is tight,
And collectors in haste are pursuing
Their debtors by day and by night?
And others who loaned me "ten,"
Heave a sigh or a regret as they miss mes
And wish they could see me again.
Do they miss me at home DIDO they miss me-

And do those who were wont to assist me,
And wish they could see me again.

HINTS FOR HoUsEKEEPERs. We
cut the following from an exchange
paper. !, The hints contained in it will
prove invaluable about the first of May:
To XII Bed Bugs.-Take corrosive
sublimate and daub it all over your
bedstead. Then burn your bedsteads
and bed clothing and move into another
house. R2T2Es -
Advice for Moving.-Never give a
drayman more per load for moving your
household goods and gods, than said
household goods and gods are worth,
or would sell for at auction.
Leave the house you move from in as
vile and filthy condition as possible.
You've got through with it; but be
sure and raise an immense breeze about
your new landlords ears, if the house
you go into is not perfectly e al,ribus
atauna--sine qasa NON.
Be sure and take down any little inn
provement you have made-no matter
how useless to you now, or how it de-
faces the house by taking it down.

WAGGERY.-Some time ago, on the
Sabbath day, we wendell orwayto one
of our churches, and instead of a SER
mon, heard an address upon some mis-
sionary or benevolent subject. After
the address was concluded, two breth-
rem were sent around with the baskets
for contributions-Pa l. who
was one of the basket-bearers, taking
the side upon which we sat. Immedi-
ately in our front, and upon the next
seat, negligently reclined our friend Bill
H, a gentleman of infinite humor,
and full OF dry jokes. Parson L
extended the basket, and Bill slowly
shook his head.
"Come, William, give us some
thing" said the parson.
"Can't do it," said Bill.
"Why not? Is not the cause good

VITAL RELIGIoN.-It is great deal
easier to repeat ca whole liturgy of
prayers" than to govern ones temper,
overcome a bad habit, and resist the
constantly recurring temptations to
self-indulgence. 1t is q great deal
easier and pleasanter to feel good than
to be good. 1t is easier to get up an
ineoherent fervor of mind than to
calmly and steadily pursue the even
way of our ordinary duties. To 60 to
church and be excited by solemn music,
and to lose oneself in vague emotions
how much more agreeable in this
than to stay at home, and amidst the
discord of daily returning trials, to
maintain quiet and cheerful mind.
