A similar proceeding on the part of an Eng

recollection of some of our readers. We refer
to the boarding of the ship Hercules, of Salem

In tho COUntry.-There is no town in our county
that can boast of fertile lands better cultivated
farms than Somers We took short trip through that
town one day last week. but hardly stopped long enough
to make note of what saw. We called upon our old
friend PETER REAs, of the most enterprsing and
scientific farmers in the town. lie has farm of 100
of most capital land which is under high state
of cultivation, with first class budingsd barns
and outhouses Mr.. Reas has very fine Durham
stock but our attention particularly called tic
some large Porkers which he had fattenng in PEN We
think they were the latest specimens we ever saw.
We also called upon friend 8. s Strong ofsomers
Mr. Strong has very fine farm Of eighty acres, under
high state Of cultivation He has just put up large anc
commodious barn. which is painted and finished with
all the modern improvements. His buildings all new
and well arranged. Mr.. Strong goes the principle
that 'Iittle farm well titled" is better than large
half cultivated The day of great, mseraby cultivated
farms has happily gone by with all intelligent farmers
Farmers now estimate their crops by the number o
bushels raised instead by the number of sowet
and planted. They have found that SOC bushels ofwhea
raised on 10 Of ground cost much less than the
the same amount raised on 80 acres.
