we have taken some pans TO learn the acs
tuil condition Of the farming interest in the
region of our calculation, aud it is our belief
that nearly every case of serious embarrass,
ment has arisen from, one or both Of the two
following causes: -Farmers have Purchased
hands faster than necessity required, or PruS, !.
dence permitted; or they have gone beyond
their business tc'engage in some speculation,
more or less remote from their work as farm
ers; When they have become commercial men,
they have incurred the risks of commerce, and
these risks should not be set down to the ac-
eouht Of agriculture, for where farmers have
kept aicUf from these, they have avoided those.
entang glcmcns which have been the ".ions peHf
to 50 many men. M
We invite the attention OF young men
TO these facts. They are worthy Of the mOSs
thoughtful reflection. Other professions arOt
always crowded ooveri5wing very few succeed
in them. The present CONNER cial crisis IS

low credit, as wtfi't the blast Of ruin. Mcar-
