Cough in u New Character,

Mr.. John b. Cough, the rebellious subject
of King Alcohol, and the champion Of tenn
perance, appeared last evening at the Acad-
emy of Music, in a new role He occasion %
oily strays from he orbit in which his genius
has been So long revolving, and where he
has no rival and assumes the discussion of
other sui jeets not quite So dilapidated as his
favorite topic.
His lecture last evening was upon "Light'
and >hadows of London Life" In lccturiug
upon other topics, though always original
and humorous he eacritices much of his rep

in which to draw upon the imagination in
his delneations of ihe inehrinte, and to ex-
cite the applause and interest of his auditors,
which plain statements of fact and dry sta

In his lecture he dwelt principally upon
the social characteristics OF the city of Lon

900 houses, and with no less than 900 miles
of gas pipe, and its population increased at
the rate of one thousand per week. The daily

ANDREW JOHNSON AS AN ORAroR.-sigm

ANDREW JOHNSON AS AN ORAToR.-Sigma,
of the Cincinnati Commercial, says:
Gov Johnson's manner Of speaking is svery
peculiar, and not remarkably happy. He has
two distinct tones of voice, and they are as
opposite to each other possible, and alter
mated so constantly that an auditor, who
should hear without seeing him, would AL
most think that his speech was made by two
different persons His manner is deliberate, e,
and he speaks eTtempore, and often in con-
ver-ational tone. raising his voice to loud
pitch whenever he is particularly reused or
in earnest He has all the Southern peculi
arities of pronunciation. and says des soln-
tion for dissolution, keer for care etc. His
speeches are rambling and loose in construc-
ton, and he repeats himself endlessly-and
vet, with all these disadvantages, he makes
so many strong points. and brings to hear
such a mass and variety Of authority, that he

Early Wheat Sowing.--Letter from a
Practical Farmer.

Practical Farmer.
Mr.. Editor Permit me, through the
medium of the Hawk Eye, TO call atten
ton of Farmers to the Importance of early
sowing wheat.
We may reasonably expect the coming
season TO be a productive one. and in or
der TO secure a fair or average yield, it is
all important to have the seed in the
ground (if three or four inches deep, the
better) by the Goth of March, if possible,
or the lst of April at farthest.
by early sowing, we avoid the Chinch
Bug-the greatest pest in Iowa, not ex-
eepting Secessionists, as the crop natures
before they make their appearance to any
great extent, and we obtain plumpe,
and heavier grain, that always commands
higher rates in market.
Perhaps all farmers are not aware OF
the Importance of rolling their wheat
Try it.
am satisfied that wheat that was roll
ed last season, produced five bushels
more to the acre, than that that was no,
rolled.
Select an early variety, smooth or bald
wheat if possible-the "Grove" is as
good as any. if not better. Sow early,
SOW deep. roll thoroughly. Let us try &c
raise premium crops in 1861, for the
world will need it all.
Yours truly, FARMER.

officiated in the forenoon, and the Meth

on the subject was SO great that they
continued the meetings for day or two

came SO large that they adjourned to the
woods, and continued the meeting for
a week. And this is the origin of the

When in our boyhood we read in the
Bible about the men working in the vine
yard for penny day, we remember
that it seemed like very small wages
But let US see about this. In those
days penny was as large as Is of our
cents, and as money was some ten times
as valuable as now, the penny was as
good as ] SO Of our cents, SO that those
men got as much as the best men now
generally have in the harvest time, that
is dollar and a half day. So when
ihe good Samaritan gave two pence to
the landlord to take care Of the man who
fell among the thieves, it was equivalen.
to about three dollars, which would prob
ably pay his board two weeks in some
tavern, where board is very
cheap. So we see that things change
