sNoE the union Of the two Canadas, the debt

SINCE the union of the two Canadas, the debt
has increased from six to sixty millions, and
the annual expenses of the government froma
million and quarter to eleven millions and
half The great expenditures have been made
to conciliate various localities, and to fatten
spectators, aud the people, feeling themselves
outraged, begin to talk again about reputation,
revolution, and annexation to the United States.
1t is not to. be presumed that annexation is Sc
riOusly intended. The cry is bugbear used
for the same purpose as the threats of disunion
by politicians in the United States
soNE weeks since number of families were
made sick by eating cheese, which was manu-
featured at Granville, Washington County, in
New York, and sold at groceries throughout the
city. 1t was also ascertained that number of
persons in Baltimore, Nd, had been poisoned
by eating cheese which had come from the
same manufacturer. An examination of some
of the pieces resulted in finding some arsenous
particles in the substance with which the rind
was coated. a more thorough examination
was subsequently made, but how the cheese
became poisoned, or what was the cause of the
sickness produced by it, remains mystery.

gave his constituents better satisfaction. His

q The Democratic Party.

"Have we aDemocrstic party among
.us2" This question is PROMPTLY and well
answered in the following paragraph,
which we clip from the Boston Post:
Some of the blatant opposition and
false hearted Democratic presses Of the
country aretickling their readers by pro-
pounding the above interrogatory.--
Children are said to be pleased with o
straw, even, and so we suppose we ought
not to deprive, the opposition of the mea-
gre crumbs Of eomfort,afforded them in
this innocent pastime. n They will find
out when the ballot boxes are closed
IN 1860 that there 4sa Democratic par

mocratic party 1t has already controll.

three-fourths of the time during its ex-
istence, and we venture the prediction
that it will continue to do so. Surviv-
ling the ignominy heaped upon it by in
competent and designing men, .outliviag
the assaults of open enemies and secret
foes, the Democratic party will in 1850

7- From the Ohio Cultivator,
Profits Of Feeding Hogs. b. -aa

1t appears to be q very prevalent idea
among farmers at this time, thatit will not
pay to feed or fatten hogs, when corn is
commanding the price it does now. There
are but few farmers Of nay, acquaintance
who believe that il will pay to make
$4.50 pork, out of corn that is worth
over SO cents per bnshel. ButI believe,
and my figures prove it to be, a gross
mistake. View suppose that have 80
head of stock hogs or, in other words,
shoats, that will weigh 100 lbs. per head,
and I cannot get but 50 per, cwt. gross
which is about the price paid for such
hogs and I am offered IS cts. per bushel
for my corn: Why, sell your hogs and
corn, too, would be. the advice of nine
tenths of the farmers the State of Ohio.
But, brother farmers, I would thank none
of you for such advice, and if you would
quit swallowing down SO much of what
you hear from Others, without investiga-
tion, you would change your views in re-
gard TO this, as well as many other ms t.
ters. ..gf.ftg a s-..tr .,....r....-,..f-
But we will see. These 80 head. Of
hogs 1 weigh, and find their weight to be
5000 lbs. l put them in pen, and feed
them 20 days, when 1 sell them at $3.50
per cwt. weigh again, and find they
have gained 900 lbs, which is 80 Tbs
per head, or one pound per day, for each
hog, which is reasonable gain, And
during these 80 days, they eat 100 bushels
of corn. Now we will see what l have
| made in the operation: % F.@ sf5
/ gained in the price of hogs, by feed
ing So. so per cwt., which would be, OF
5000 lbs, (whal they weighed befor'
feeding) - i"- !. o- S75. OF
The 900 lbs of gain, at. S4- so per cwt i
/ $4,000. Which is Sll5.50 for my l OF
bushels of corn, and my trouble. for 81
days. So You will see, that | have $1.l;
per bushel for my corn, Instead offs cts
But it must be remembered that 81 Isl
is what got for my corn, without count
ling what my hogs were worth before eat
ing it, which was 81 per cwt., wiicl
would have been $50. This, added t
: $ll.5O, would be $l755 so, the amount
received for my hogs. 30 .Hl
Now, farmers, if | am not right in re
gard to the above calculation, I hop
some of you that may chance to read thi:
will be SO kind as to show wherein I ar
wrong. ,,. j. L. SMITH.

New Seeds for Farmers.

.IfsH sr-
No class Of men are more liable to be i'm
posed upon than our plain, honest farmers.
They seem to be made the subjects of spe.
cial favor almost every season by all sorts
of flaming advertisements about some won
derful seed, which, if sowed or planted,
will be sure to double their crops, without
half as much labor bestowed upon them, or
expense for fertilizers, as other seeds,
Somehow, it always happens that these
seeds are sold at most exorbitant price,
and in many cases the cost for them is
greater than that of the entire crops after
wards obtained. The great nohan pota-
toes, which sold for a dollar apiece for
seed, were to multiply SO fast and grow so
large, that bushel was to be hoed out
from each hill. One season, however, suf-
feed to extingnish their character aud the
species also. Several other seed spccu-
lations have adorned the putting annals Of
our country, and the pockets of those who
originated them. We find that an attempt
is being made to create another fever of
this character at present out of new
grass called the honey=blade. The seed
Of this plant has been selling, according
to the Ohio Culssoator, for no less than
nine dollars per bushel in some places,
while tits said to~be, nothing but German
millet under new name We know
nothing Of the merits of the new.fangled
grass, but our farmers will do well to look
out sharp before they suffer themselves to
invest very deeply in this sweet-sonnding
seed. .-Scicntifc Anericdn. ~ - t...-

Z Growing Tobacco.

As.soon as the frost is out of the ground,
burn brush heap, and while it is hot,
rake in the seed. - When thecplants have
leaves about an inch long, transplant to
rich, warm soil, and setthem out about
four feet each way. Keep the weeds down,
and by all means keep off the Tobacco
worm" Nip off the seeds as fast as they
come, and let the plants stand until they
become spotted with yellow spots the size
Of a five-cent piece; then cut them close to

A tale Of Unrequited Love.

as follows, how he once fell in love and

We were never, kind reader, desperate

red-Iio, auburn haired girl with freckl-
ed complexion and who had but few pre-
tensions to beauty; but then she had such
really beautiful eyes, deep liquid orbs,
through which he- soul in moments of ten
derness looked out with passionate fer
yer. and in Joyous mirth flashed and
sparkled with the light of thousand
dew drops, diamonds we were going to
say, but then We never saw thousand
diamonds. Her name was Laura--which
when breathed softly by very soft lover,
is very sweet name-and her clear ring
ing laugh fell all around you like show
er of silver bells. Moreover, she wore q
dark wine colored dress, trimmed with
lilac colored velvet and black fringe, with
O neat little white collar of fine lace, which
is one of the prettiest of dresses, and has
the effect to make very plain girl look
absolutely charming. She never per
forated her ears to hang thereby pendu-
lum of brass and glass; and the only or
nament on the little white hand, which
needed none, was plain gold ring, So
cred to the memory of q maiden promise.
Well, one evening, it was moonlight in
the summer time-we sat alone in the
porch by the cottage door holding that
little white hand in gentle pressure, one
arm had stolen around her waist, and a
silent song of joy, "like the music of the
hight" was in our soul. Our lips met in
q sweet, delicious kiss. and bending softly
to her carve whispered tale of passion
