HONEST FAHMERs.--We heard the other day story which illustrates at once, the independence and prohity of some
 Ohio Farmers, and in these days of greed and haste to be rich will serve to keep
 alive our faith in human nature.
 Some years since, person moved from R this City with his family to the vicinity of
 Middletown, and there remained on a
 farm till his death. He left widow and sons, whose circumstances were comtoria- ble and their occupation farming.
 Within a short time. shurp lawyer of the City, discovered flaw in the deed, by which the old Farmer had conveyed cer- tain lot in this City fronting onlhe Laud- ing. He went at once to see the widow. and telling her how much the 10, had risen .in value, offered to secure it for her on shares.
 She called council of her sons. stated the case to them, aud asked what should be done. They talked over the matter and concluded that their Father had intended to make sure sale, and had got for the property all ithatit was worth;,he land had probably changed hands several times, and its present owner had paid for il all it was worth. s.So,'' said the eldest son who &C., ted as spokesman---.sSo Mother, we wonttouch 1t" and touch it they didn't. Possibly that lawyer came home with some #newnolons of honestyain in his head and a feeling that between ..lechnicalily' and .'juslice" there was considerable difference.

I OES. HOUSTON PRESCRIPTION TO A !" BoRE. Among, the guests at tue St, Nicholas Hotel, New York city. was Gen, Sam Houston, of Texas The General is, as all his acquaintances we'll know. fond or mrth and fun, and. in shoft, IS wha, Doeslicks would call P. B.,--per- feet brick. The General however, enter. tains an intense hatred for that species Of humanity called ,. bores.
 One of these gentry, good natured but soft headed animal--a regular hutton- holder, cornered him one dayal ,he hotel. He lad managed to be introduced to him by gentleman the day previous.
 "General,' sad the bore after he had bothered the General out of all patience, :" l wish you would do me one more favor. A man of your emineace is so competent. :
 Well, what ss ,!s' inquired Houston. rather curtly.

 Sorgho societies are formed ,and reports made of the most satisfactory kind in many places. We find that inlhe late Sugar Growers Convention of Winnebago coun- ", Illinois, held Dec. 7lh, the lowest a. mount raised by any who reported was 22O gallons per acre, and at a cost of 20 cents per gallon, or less than half the price of New Orleans molasses. sl It Is planted about May 20th, and is cultivated much like corn. It is yet q question whether il should be harvested before or after a frost comes. IL makes better feed if cut before frost Talcotl, Emmerson & Co.'S. mills prove bes. for grinding. The sap or juice is evaporated by boiling in fiat iron pans. For cleans ing, some used lime water, one pint to eighty gallons of sap; others used one spoonful of salara,us 10 thirty gallons sap, but quite as good mode was the constant use of skinner. Wooen should be used as strainer. l. takes from seven to nine gallons of sap to make one of fine, heavy syrup. Few reports were made of granu- lations into sugar, but there appears no difficulty in the way of it. One farmer raised from thirty to forty bushels of seed per acre, upon which lie fed his horses, one only refusing to eat it, and the others leaving oats or corn for the cane seed. Thi. explodes the idea of its poisonous ef- feet. l, has proved more profitable 10 raise than wheat or corn, and il thrives best on light, sandy soil. Illinois and Iowa expect soon to supply the home mar kets with sugar and syrup and then com mence exporting their supplies.

 The moral cement of society is virtue it unites and preserves, while vice separates and destroys The good may well be tefnied the salt of the earth. For where there is no integrity, there can be no confidence and where there is no confidence there can be 10 unaiimity.
