tice Of offering prizes for the best essays

and will be read with more than ordinary
interest.
Upon matters Of agricultural Improvement
and farm economy, growing crops, raising
and fattening stock, household hints, and
domestic receipts, the Genesse Farmer is

port of Nicoaiaw, at the mouth of that
stream, which Russian steamers have con-
veyed at once up into the very heart OF
Tartary and the in the interior of the Mus
covitc empire. The unexpected supplies
have had an astonishing effect on the late
fair at Norovgorod to which emporium

has fallen thirty per cent, owing to the
new sources of sugar importation: and ey'

The meeting was ably ADDRESSED 10y Hon.

others. Their remarks were practical and
,otbe purpose, and we earnestly hope
will lead those who heard them to reflect
tbat. as we are people who eat, that as we

A Snowy OwL-One of these rare and
singular birds, which has been made the
subject of an article and an illustration in
the patent Office reports, was shot by cit
izen of Lawrence township, Mr. VIM. P.
Reed, a few weeks ago, on a tree near his
barn.
This owl was snowy white everywhere
except the back which was beautifully
aecked or m ottled with brown. The legs
and feet being covered with feathers to
the ends of the toes. 1t measured five
feet across the wings from tip to tip, two
feet from bill to tail, and weighed four
and half pounds.
This species of the owl is said to be mi,
gralory, and is seldom found in this State.
1t hunts in daylight as well as at night
This one was killed in daytime.
Court is now in session, Judge Burr
side, and his associates being here. Court
called at 10 a. NJ. on Monday. A quo-
rum of the Grand jury not being in attcn-
dance, the court took a recess, until the az
ternoon, when it again convened The
Grand jury then after being sworn and
charged by the court entered upon their
hbors. Some causes upon the argument
list were disposed of, after which court
adjourned until next day. Since then
business tos been progressing steadily.
THE WEATHER is once more cold and
winter-like, and is marked 10y clear cold
and frosty moonlight nights. Glorious
times for sleighing if we only had the
snow. Occasionally we herr the faint tin.
kle ofthe bells amid the noise and bum
pings of the sleigh, but it is suggestive oI
rough-riding and bad sleighing.
