A correspondent of the Country Cen
hemah gives the following account OF
the farm of James Wood, in West Ches-
ter county, New York, and it contains
so many facts of interest to farmers who
may be pleased to read them during the
long winter evenings that we append
the statements for the benefit of the
readers of the WEEKLY REGISTER:
The farm of James Wood, in the town
of Bedford, is beautifully situated on q
high ridge of land, extending into val
Ieys on either side, the upper portions
commanding extensive views for mary
miles in different directions. The dwell
ings and grounds have finished appear
ance, and the whole constitute such a
place as an intelligent and cultivated
farmer would liketo occupy. The farm
contains q hundred and seventy-tive
acres, and is conducted on the mixed sys-

being similar to that already described
in these notes. The crop of corn usual
ly averages from fifty % sixty bushels
the largest yielded has been over rseven-
ty-five bushels, and the smallest only
twenty-five, two-thirds of the plants in
this Instance, having been destroyed BY
grubs. The variety found most profta-
Bile is Dent corn, from Southern Penn
sylvauia, the stalks of which are small

gion. The grains being long, somewhat
like the gourd seed, the cob is small,
and the amount of grain large; thirty
two bushels of ears yielding by repeat

from the mode l had met with else

cut. or soon after midsummer, manure is
spread over the surface, and the stubble

not exceeding i've or six inches. The

relation to the recent vote in Alabama

Constitution is not ratified. He does
not favor the immediate admission of
the State by Congress, but would pre-

Out in Maury county, Tennessee, an
old negro was lately riding home one
night OH mule. He looked into the
forest on one side of the road, and there
he beheld q mounted skeleton riding
among the trees. Suddenly the skele-
ton came out of the woods, stood before
the poor darkey, whose teeth were
chattering with terror, and raising a
bunch of dry bones that had once been
a hand, it took off its grinning skull
and said to the old niger, won't you
hold this, while fix my backbone =
The Intelligent voter" knows OF
nothing after this. He jumped off his
mule, streaked it across the fields,
Jumped into bed with his shoes on, COW

has not been seen since travelling about

Ts.e Striped Cucumber y9,c

This is probably the worst insect pest
Of the garden. He is the great enemy to
squash, cucumber, and melon vines, and
often blasts every hope Of good crop.
According to DIR. Fitch, he is the parent
Of the small white worm, half an inch long
or SO, which enters the stems of vines Just
below the surface of the earth, and eats
out the pith and destroys them. This
worm often kills vines that have begun to
bear fruit when it is entirely too late to
replant. If this be a fact, (Which we be-
lieve entomologists have not dispu ted J it
is within the experience of every vine
grower that the bug is scarcely moro to
be dreaded than when transformed to "a
worm; in fact, the bug can be most easily
thwarted 10 his depredations.
Perhaps the surest means of keeping
the bug, or beetle, from eating the leaves
and laying his eggs, are boxes covered
with muslin, set over the hills. They
should be large enough to allow of consld
cradle growth inside Of them, and the
sides ought to be made sloping, so as tc
admit sunshine to the best advantage

GRANTS NOTED ORDER AGAINST JEWS.

The following letter has been lately published
in the Israclite, leading organ of the Jews,
in explanation Of the celebrated Order No. II ;,
issued by Gen. Grant during the war. 1t tells
late campaign, asserted that Gen. Grant was
not the author of that prOscrptive Order, but
declared it was issued by subordinate officer
without the knowledge Of Grant These false
statements are now proven to be untrue, by
Gen. Grants own admission that he, himself,
wrote and promulgated the very Objectionable
and lntolcrant Order. Here is his letter:

BRITISH ATROCITIES IN ABYssIN1A.

contains the following:
There is being circulated, in the late con-
tlnental journals a very remarkable letter,
dated Jerusalem, July 18th, which, if true,

the letter referred to, composed of Europeans,

One began to tear off piece of the dead mon

fortress in search of plunder. They found
their way TO the treasury, and fell to quarrel

SO many beasts of prey. Bars of gold, even
irons were broken into pieces. Everything
was demolished, books furniture, dresses, &c.
What could not be conveniently carried away
was destroyed and ruined Not content with
this Wanton waste, they went and riOldtcd the

that of Cincinnati. Not only has the popula-
ton decreased, but property has greatly de-
preciated for want of occupants. Manufac.

Too MANY TO PRAY FoR.-In the English
Church at Dresden, where about twothirds of
the attendants are Americans, prayer for tho
President of the United States was recently
introduced, which gave so much umbrage to
the English that the pastor withdrew it. One
objection made was that the President is cho-
sen every four years, and they did not desire
to pray for such q number of nobodies.
