The Road to Poor Farming.

1 Invest all your capital in land, and
run in debt for more.
2 Hire money to stock your farm.
3 Have no faith in your own bust
ness, and be always ready to sell out.
4 Bay mean COWS, spawned horses,
poor oxen and cheap tools.
5 Feed poor hay and mouldy corn
stalks exclusively, in order to keep your
stock tame fiery cattle are terribly
hard on old rickety wagons and plows.
Use the oil Of hickory freely when
ever your oxen need strength: tits cheap
er than hay Or meal, keeps the hair live
ly, and pounds out all the grubs
6 Select such calves for stock as the
butchers 8hun-beauties Of runts, thin
in the hams, and pot-bellied but be
sure and keep their blood thin by scan
ty heritage; animals are safest to breed
from that haven strength to herd.
8 Be cautious about manufacturing
manure it makes the fields look black
and mournful about planting time !;
besides it is deal of work to haul it.
8 Never waste time by setting out
fruit and shade trees fruit and leaves
rotting around place make it unhealthy.

Where to find a Good Piano.

We have had occasion recently to test
some Pianos in the new Store recently
opened by ". w. Kimball Esq, 142
Lake Street, in this city and as We know
that those who have occasion to purchase
instruments Of this kind always want
the BEST, we take pleasure il telling
them where they can find the best.
The assortment of Mr.. Kimball embraces
a large variety and is supplied by lead
ing manufacturers in Boston and New
York, such as J. & c. Fischer, Hallet,
Davis < Co. G. A. Miller & Co., Kurtz-
man & and Hinze, and many others.
We were particularly Pleased with the
soft and sweet tones Of the Fischer
Piano which for family use is unsur-
passed. We have heard excellent judg
es pronouncing high encomiums upon
it the whole structure of the instrument
being eminently such as first class
Piano requires.
Mr.. Kimball is one Of the Oldest Music
al Dealers in the West, and his great Elk
pERIENcE gives him an advantage which
purchasers will do we'll to avail them
selves Of. He guarantees his instru-
ments, and we do not hesitate to ask
for him the confidence Of any who may
wish to procure one Of the best kind
His stock is so ample and rich that it is
scarcely possible to fail of being suited.
One can find the Fischer Piano, with
its deep, mellow, sweet tone, or the Hal
lett, Davis & Co. Piano with its brilliant
tone, or any other make which may be
desired VII. Kimball's location is an
excellent one, being on the first floor
and in the center Of the finest and most
fashionable retail business Of the city.
We invite our country as we'll as city
friends to call upon him at 142 Lake
street, and verify our recommendation

battle that has yet taken place since the

General and FIVE Brigadier Generals
killed, and seven Brigadier Generals
wounded-thirtecn in all With such
heavy loss Of general officers, we may
safely conclude that their casualties

The above is a transcript of the title page
of book just being delivered from the
press, and which viii be issued by the pub-
fishers, STRICKLAND & Co., during the pres
ent week
We have seen and had the chance to pc
ruse the greater portion of the work in
Sheets and can speak Of il Understandings.
In his preface the author says: "The rec
ord having been made for the writer, is, for
the most part, confined to statement OF
such things as are not written in history :"
and also as will be noticed by the title page,
itpurports to be book behind the scenes. "
These statements truly indicate Its charac-
Ter, and insure Its interest to the reader.
The current partial history of the war al
readers are familiar with, and for perfect
accurate history, of course, the time has not
come. This work furnishes what the news.
papers have never given, and what no his
tory of the war will ever pick up.
1t is dash at all the salient, interesting
points of military life, through the most
interesting and eventful period of the histo-
~ of the Potomac army, written in a style
easy, flowing, and in itself attractive And
besides its reference to passing events, the
opinions of the author, touching the men,
Mcclellan among the chief, who have led
and figured prominently in the Potomac
army, given evidently without fear, favor
affection or the 'hope OF reward" are valu
able as tbs candid views of an intelligent
observing man, with the data ON which to
form an opinion.
The book. besides its general interest ha,
