is considered a great rain; but in New-En
land SIX inches and seyrneghts has been
known TO fall in 81 hours. Ordinary arabic

river Dnieper is drying up. The plains of
Troy can with difficulty be recognised.
because the rivers mentioned by Homer, whose
descriptive Topography is not doubted, either
cannot be found or are now such insignificant
streams as to fall far below the descriptions

observation TO be decreasing. The Adriatic

THE KINGDOM OF DAuoMEY The last ac-
counts from the western coast Of Africa have
brought the news of the death of Guezo, King
of Dahomey. The following are some detail.
concerning that country:
Dahomey is a military State, founded about
the commencement of the 18th Century, and
occupies I'll the space comprised between the
mouths of the Niger and the Volta and the
last slopes of the Kong. Notwithstanding
This immense extent it only contains 200
600 inha bitants of whom $50 900 are slaves.
At Dahomcy the year is divided into two
equal parts. The first half is taken up with
warlike operations and the other part is devo-
ted to letes and public ceremonies. The war,
properly speaking is nothing but hunt fter
slaves made by regular army of II 900 sol.
d iers Of whom 1850 are women but when
the King leaves his capitol for the war, one
fourth part of the population Of the kingdom
accompany him. The capitol, which is calf
ed Abomey, is about eight miles in circum-
ference. and surrounded by deep ditch
There are SIX entrances, which are merely
passages of earth constructed across the ditch.
One Of them is reserved for the exclusive use
Of the King, and the others are open to all
his subjects. Over each gate are placed a
number of human skulls and in the interior
of the city there is high pyramid formed of
the skulls of men and animals. The Kings
palace is in the centre of the city, and the
houses of the inhabitants are scattered about
here and there without any order. The prin-
cpal fete Is that ca lied the Ydc-ah. elk bob, or
the payment of the troubadours. There are
at Dahomey certain number ofpoets of eth
or sex, whose only occupat ion is to sing the
exploits of their Sovereign, and that employ
mcnt, which descends from father to son. is
very lucrative AT the above fete the King
publicly distributes recompcnscs to the trou-
oadours according to their respective merits.
All the fetcs are attended by human sacrifices,
which take place on large platform erected
for the purpose and are olnamcnted with ban
ncrS OF different colors.

DEFENCE OF TIE CEow.-The crow. in
many parts Of the world, is considered
marauder on the farm, and the gun is perse.
vering'y used for his determination. The
most able writers OH orthodoxy and others
who have studied his habits, agree that in
stead Of being robber and pest to the
farmer, he is one of the most faithful friends
and greatest Leneiactors. He consumes in
the course of the year vast quantities of grubs,
worms and noXious virmin: he is a valuable
scavengcr, and clears the land of offensive
masses of decaying animal substances; he
hunts the grass fields, and pulls out and
devours the underground caterpilars. whcr-
ever he percrivcs the sign of their operations
as evinccd by the wlcd stalks he destroys
mice, young rats. lizards and serpents lastly,
he lSa volunteer sentinel about the farm, and
drives the hawk from its enclosures. thus
preventing greater mischief than that Of which
he Is himself guilty. 1t is chiefly during
seed time and harvest that the deprcdations
OF the crow are committed; during the
remainder of the year we witness only his
services, and so highly are those services APP
preciated by those who have written of binds,
that we cannot name an ornithologist who
does not plead in his behalf. Neg York

UThe Michigan Farmer offers the follow
ing suggestions I'm the course of three
weeks more we shall have the announcement
of new year, and among the duties which
this imposes on the farmer is that of ascertain
ing what he has got on hand. When this
point is well understood, he may then con-
slider that he is prepared 10 decide what he
can and ur'A do during the year that is ahead
of him. 1t must be borne in mind that farm
ing is as much of business into which cal
cnlation enters as any other pursuit that is
followed in city or village No farmer can
work his land without the use Of capital in
some shape. 1.-The is not in debt for any of
the stock. implements or material that are
upon his farm then he is working upon his
own capital. If he is in debt for any or a II of
the stock and material which he has, then he
is working with borrowed capital. In either
case it is of importance that he should know
precisely first, how much capital he has got
in use, and secondly, how much of it is his
own, and how much of it is borrowed"

GA correspondent writes: cit is good
time now to cut gratis In the performance
of this operation, including the storing of
them for the Winter, there are certain things
which should be remembered, as they are
essential to the best success. The best way
with which we are familiar is to tie them up
in punches of two or three inches in diameter,
employing three bands, one at each end and
one in the middle. Take strip of board or
single foot long, or about the length of the
gratis; on this write the name, distinctly and
fully, and tie it up with the bunch. These
bundles may be placed on end in box, and
covered over and Glled in between with damp
moss, or an inferior Substitute may be found
in sand, earth, sawdust, or other substance.

that proper degree of the moisture is MAIN

n Tho following va lua bic surucstions ron.

GJ@Thc following valuable suggestions con-
corning unruly stock are condensed from a
communication to the Ohio Farmer: As a
general rule, our domestic animals are never
unrny except when taught to he so. For
instance, some persons, in turning stock from
one field TO another, only let down a few of
the top rails or bars, and force their animals
to jump over. Too lazy to put up as well as
to let down, they leave the gap half CLOSED, as
temptation to the stock tojump back again.
A few practical lessons of this kind make
animals unluly. Carelessncss in regard to
putting up fences when thrown down, or in
repairing weak spots conf ms the bad habit.
The writer says his practice has always been
to teach his cows, calves, sheep aud hogs to
go through or under, rather than over. the
bars and fences, always leaving rail or bar
up at the top. Taught in this way, they
never think of jumping, and he has never
been troubled with unruIy animals, even when
his fences were low.

in Appluon's Cyclopc'iia, Of the number of
horses in the various parts of the world:

THE Precious METALS Discoveries Of
gold and silver, in our Western territories,
are so frequent that they cease to create cx-
traordinary excitement. But it is astonish.
ing to think what enormous quantities of the
precious metals have been IN med and turned
into money, IN region of which not the one
hundrcdth part has been thoroughly explored.
Gold has been found in California, Oregon,
Washington, New Mexico. Utah, Missouri
and Kansas. and yet the UNEMPLOYED country
which may contain still greater deposits far
sur0asses in extent that which has been fairly
occupied by white men. Silver has been
found abundantly in California and Arizona
and in moderate quantities elsewhere. AS
the development Of our vast domain goes on,
it is probable that our country will be found
to possess greater wealth in the precious met
ais than any other in the world. The latest
news is of the discovery of an extraordinary
gold field in the South Eastern Missouri
which, however, needs confirmation. But
there is no question about the Carson Valley
silver regions. the accounts from which are
numerous and authentic. A vein of silver
ore, from six to fourteen inches wide, has
been found in quartz stratum, and it has
already been traced several thousand feet
Gold has also been found mixed up with the
silver, and the Carson Valley, or Washoe
Valley gold and silver mines bid fair to be-
come as lannon's as any in the world. They
were discovered by man named Comstock,
who, until the discovery, was only famous as
a whiskey drinker. He has made a fortune
already, and is said to have spent, within
two months, eight or ten thousand dollars for
the whisky for himself and friends. At this
rate he will not long enjoy his good fortune /:
but the country at large will profit by this
and all similar discoveries.
