They were surprised to find several pieces
Of silk, lace, and other valuable goods,
scattered over the floor of the main apart
ment OF the lower story. On my giving
them a narration of the facts, we all came TO
the conclusion the house had been made the
rendezvous Of thieves, who had previously
prepared themselves to work upon the su-
persti,ious fears of any strangers they might
chance to encounter; aud that, having heard
my fall, they had dressed up one of their
number in ghostly garb, and sent him over
the house to make search. Ny two shots
bad unquestionably convinced him and his
companions that sudden leg bail was their
best security. and they had taken it accor

We all had hearty laugh over the fright
of the appari,ion. whom | stoutly declared
was more scared than was. We also found
out who had been robbed that night. and
restored some of the missing goods. through
the police. Whether my adventure explain

sion, az. not prepared to say; but certain
it is. maintained my argument against their

PLowING HEAVY LANDS. would be in.
teresting and important. says the Boston
Cultivator, to know what would be the COM
parative result. in regard to the crops pro-
duced for three years. between lots plowed in
burrows Of fifteen inches AID others ten inch
es wide, on heavy soil. 1t is q rule in Eng
land and Scotland, as well as 10 some parts
OF this country. to plow clay land In as fine
or narrow burrows rs practicable. in @rder 10
produce the required pliability. and give due
exposure to the atmosphere; which is SO
neces ary to develop the fertility of such
soils. 1t may be said that the width OF the
furrows was not greater than usual in pro-
portion TO the depth. On this point it may
be inquired whether the expediency of plow-
ing sward to this depth has been demon
stratedl Would it not be better. especially
on clayey soils, to bury the swarc at only
a moderate depth, where it would more
quickly decompose and give more immediate
benefit to crops-plowi deeper. if neces-
~ary sfterward? Such is the practice in some
sections distinguished for successful farm
ing.

The Farmer.

The M chanic receives his seventy Eve
cents a day, and yet remains poor, while
the farmer earns his seventeen cents a day.
aud grows rich. Merchants. physicians. and
lawyers receive their thousands per annum.
aud die poor; while the farmer, scarcely re-
ceiving as many tens, dies rich.
How are these strange results produced?
All calculations of dollars and cents fail to
account for it. Those who are determined
to bring everything to the standard of dol
lars aud cents pronounce agricu ,ture to be
wholly without profit. and fit only as pur-
suit for those who have not sense enough to
pursue anything else.
Let Us now endeavor to account for this
seeming impossioility. When the mechanic
lays down his tools. and the professional
man is idle. they are sinking. because their
expenses are going on and their profits are
suspended. Net so with the farmer; while
he sleeps his crops grow, aud his stock is on
the increase.
Farmers grow rich by saving. and others
grow poor by Spending. Others have first
to earn money. and then spend it for food.
The wants of the farmer are few that can
not be supplied from his farm. Why. then,
should the farmer repine because he hfs
not money to buy abroad. or measure his
wealth by comparing his money with that of
others, who must give all for things which
be has without buying?
Herein lays the secret Of farmers sue
cess: in raising everything. as far as possi-
Bile, on the farm, and buying rs little as he
possibly can.

Union Cause tm Parke County.

I ROCKVILLE, Ind, Sept 20, 1862.
ED. JOURNAL: I notice by the Sentinel
of few days since, that there is no enthu
siasm among the men Of this District for
Mr.. Scott, their candidate for Congress
On this matter there is room for Two opin
ions. So far as the people of Parke county
are concerned. the utmost confidence is felt
in the election Of Mr. Scott. Every Union
meeting is largely attended, and the great
est enthusiasm prevails. The speakers Of
the Union ticket universally draw larger
crowds than does Mr.. Voorhees,. The peo.
pie of this county understand fully the posi-
ZION of Mr.. Voorhees,, and will put the seal
of condem nation upon him on the second
Tuesday of October.
Last week Mr.. VOORHEES, addressed his
friends at Portland Mills. in this county !.
Such crowd of men as greeted him there
was no compliment to the speaker. Mr..
Voorhees, may claim to be Union man.
but his speeches are not calculated to create
a more fervent desire for the preservation Of
the Union.
At Portland. after the speech of Mr..
VOORHEES,, several of his supporters went
beneath the " star spangled banner" and
uttered groans for it You can easily Judge
of the character Of speech which Induced
men to ridicule the American flag. There
is scarcely place where Mr.. Voorhees,
speaks, but what supporters halloo for jeff
Davis at his conclusion.
At Portland Mills they hallooed for Jeff
Davis and groaned for the flag of the Union
when he concluded. and yet Mr.. Voorhees,
claims to be a Union man. His is very
singular effect for Union speech to have.
On to day Mr.. Mere nth. editor Of the
Terre Haute Express, and Hon. H. P. II.
Brownwell, oe Illinois, were advertised to
address the citizens of Portland and vicini.
ty. Aud. although the Voorheesers sent a
man, as is supposed, to inform the speakers
that their bills had been taken down, and
that no crowd would be present to hear
them, vet Mr.. Meredith was present. I'D
was greeted by the largest crowd which has
assembled at Portland for . long time
The meeting was enthusiastic. and Mr..
Meredith made one of the ablest and most
effective speeches which has been delivered
in the county during the whole campaign.
His examin alton OF the political career of
Mr.. Voorhees, evinced the 6nest ability.
The Union men we're highly delight and
went away determined TO prevent bis
(Voorhees) election. if possible. Parke
county is for the Uaion. and no mistake.
The people despise the trsachery of Ar.
Voorhees, Yours. &c, PAaKE.

CARE OF Mich Cows.-The Boston Gull
tivator, after recommending proper care and
food for cows, says:
"If there is any animal which policy
would dictate the good treatment Of, it is
the mich COW. 1t should be remembered
that it is only the food she consumes beyond
what is required to support the natural
waste OF the system. that can afford a sur.
plus in the way of milk. Hence the food
which would barely support two cows and
leave nothing for the owner if eaten by ono

vice Of close observer to dairyman, 10

the bottom of it. Cows should be well fed
and sheltered; in fact, they should be kept
in all respects in the condition that is well
expressed by the word comfortable
