 QUITE RAD.--On Saturday even ing, after dark, the fine little steamer Ft. Smith left the wharf with good freight for up the river, with oyer one hundred United States soldiers aboard, under the command of Capt. Kiefe. Soon after leaving the landing, the soldiers commenced the work of plum dering the boat. Many boxes of ci- gars and liquors were broken open and destroyed. Berths were stripped of blankets, the pantry and table were rifled ofsevery thing of value. Capt. Bowlin remonstrated with the officer in command of the soldiers, but to no effect, when Captain B. rounded to, some four miles above the city, and re- turned to the wharf, and made com plaint to General Smith, who ordered the troops to proceed to Fort Smith a. foot.-(Little Rock Conservative.

WEEvILs IN GRANARrEs.-Somey years since, accident discovered to French farmer a very simple and efficient method of preventing, or rather de- stroying, this insidious pest in corn and grain houses. as4inaaa eSa Happening to deposit, in one corner of buildingin which there was stored a quantity of grain, few sheep-skins from which the wool had not been pulled, he found, upon examining them a few days after, that they were lite rally covered with dead weevils. The experiment was repeated, and always with the same result. T.aW
 Ion stirring the corn (wheat, proba- bly,) he was surprised to find, that al- though previously infested to degree that forbade all hope of saving it from immediate destruction by this pertina- cious foe, not single insect was to be found among it. The experiment is certainly worth trying. Instead of the sheep-skins, which are quite valuable, we might substitute those of the wood- chuck, which is increasing to an incon- yenient and expensive extent. What killed the wcevi.s, whether the fatty
 matter on the skin, or something else, we have not been able to learn. At any rate, let us try the woodchuck skins.--lN. E. Farmer. sBge sdT-

A Good Thanksgiving Thought.

The following rom Raymond New York Times, . Conservative Republi- can paper, was written month ago, for an occasion now past: ,a
 President Johnson enumerates, among the grounds for the thanksgiv- ing which belongs, to this day, that Heaven "has inclined our hearts to turn away from domestic contentious and commotions consequent upon a distracting and desolating civil war, and to walk more in the ancient ways of loyalty, conciliation and brotherly love- There is no doubt, at all events, that the moral influence in this direc- ton of day of national thanksgiyin 2 must be very great. When the thoughts of all the people in the States of the North, South and West are directed toward charity and heaven-when there is universal confession that all are, in common, offenders and rebels against divine government and law-when in all the churches the multitudes pros trate themselves before the Universal Majesty-when all have the same wants and all ask the same benefactions--it is in the nature of things that at such a time the passions must be quelled, the animosities diminished, and the gene ral mind brought into sympathy and harmony that cannot fail to exert an influence more or less enduring upon the national life. Every hour that the higher and nobler principle in man ob- tains an ascendancy over the selfish and base parts of his nature, is gain to him, not only in itself, but in the effect it exercises upon other hours and days, Every day upon which a nation, rising above the level of its vulgar and world ly thoughts advances toward the serene heights of the Divine and ideal, leaves an impress that is felt when again th' secular interests and feelings resums their sway.

THE VALUE OF A SCRAP BooK.--Every one who takes . newspaper which he in the least degree appreciates, will often regret to see any one number thrown aside for waste paper which contains some interesting and import ant articles. A good way to preserve these is by the use of a scrap, book. One who has never been accustomed thus to preserve short articles, can hardly estimate the pleasure it affords to sit down and turn over the pleasant, familiar pages. Here choice piece of poetry meets the eye. which you re- member you were so glad to see in the paper, but which you would long sincs have lost had it not been for your scrap book. There is witty anecdote--it does you good to laugh over it yet, though for the twentieth time. Next is a valuable recipe you, had almost forgotten, and which you found just in time to save much perplexity. There is sweet little story, the memory of which has cheered and encouraged you many time, when almost ready to despair under the pressure of lifc's cares and trials. Indeed, you can hard ly take up a single paper without re- perusing. Just glance over the sheet before you and see how many valuable items it contains that would be of ser vice to you . hundred times in life. A choice thought is far more precious than bit of glittering gold. Hoard with care the precious gems, and see at the end of the year what a rich treas. ure you have accumulated. ss. f#fssr

State of Affairs in Texas.

The following extract dated at Gal
 weston, Dec. 22d, 1867, to the New Or
 leans Times, is but reiteration of cir cumstances that exist in our own State
 Texas at present is, perhaps, nor depressed, financially and spiritually than any former period of her history The factors of Galveston and Houston have experienced heavy losses of th' cotton crop upon the Brazos and th' interior counties, and the planter themselves are the most thoroughly bankrupt set of fellows that ever filled this part of America. fst4 aa9a43 A The small German farmers are the Eonly class who have not lost by the raising of cotton this year they having employed usually no labor save that oi their own families can afford to sell cotton to some advantage, no matter how low the price. It is otherwise, with those parties who have employed hundreds of freedmen, and worked hundreds of acres of land these, with out one redeeming exception, have lost, and lost heavily. In one case, under my personal observation, a certain planter upon the Brazos paved out in gold Sl4,500 during the past year. and raised five bales ot cotton. There are numerous instances in which planters receiving advances from merchants in Galveston in sums varying from $250 to $25,0O0, have failed to make twenty bales of cotton. m s8amoa sa08
 This is discouraging to planters and ruinous to. factors. The past years experience has taught the advantage, or rather shows the necessity of work ing small farms and diversifying the products of the country. The ramie plant, castor bean, and grape are now about to contest the supremacy with that tottering old king, yclept cotton, and, no doubt, will do so with much success. The past years failures, though at present extremely diseoura- ging, will have the effect of developing the vast agricultural res ources of the State, and. instead of the universal planting of the staple, a thousand other productions will be tried by the now sobered farmers. snH

St. Nicholas,

Who was St. Nicholas? Many of our readers might be puzzled to answer--who Was, or rather who is Santa Claus2 Any child can tell, especially ifyou put him the question at the Christmas time. "What! you don't know Santa Claus, the kind old gentleman who goes frisking about the world on the night before Christmas with his bundle of good things on his back?" Nimbly he leaps down every chimney and fills the baskets and stockings round the hearth wall How often have our little friends dreamed all through the blessed night of Christmas eve, of the good Santa Claus and his expected gifts
 Santa Claus then, or St. Nicholas, as he is more properly called, is the especial pa- tron of the children. He was Archbishop of Ayra, of Asia Minor. He lived in the fourth century of the Christian era. Sim phcity, modesty and boundless charity characterized the Saint From the time of his death great honors were paid him. both in the Greek and Latin churches, and numerous alters and shrincs were dedicated to God sader his patronage With the Russians St. Nicholas has ever been fa- vorite saint. r .,1 r. .s
 In the year l0S7 certain merchants of Bari an Italian seaport on the Adriatic, succeeded in carrying of the relics of St. Nicholas from M yra. Numerous miracles Were said to have been wrought at Bari on the arrival of the sacred remains. The saints shrine at Bari has ever since been a resort of pious pilgrims. .w.1.
 The childlike virtues of the saint, aud the peculiar aid that he extended to young people during his life are the chief req sons why he is frequently represented in pictures by three youths. haa saia9

Farm Work for the Season.
The following, suggestions are of vast importance to the farmer. and their teach ings should be closely obseryed: .-.ga

'S AS''vNipNf SSceiSoo o'SSA 'e'o importance to the farmer, and their teach ings should be closely obseryed: tsys
 WINTER FLOWING. ss is peI
 We have so often recommended the | blowing of lands abounding in clay during the falliand early winter months and oi exposing the newly turned soil to the ac tion of the frost, that any further remarks upon the subject may appear superauous. We cannot however, refrain from sug- gesting that, so long as the weather con tnues open and the soil is, in a fit condi- tion for the plow, this kind of land should be broken up.ia The greet difficulty in the treatment of clay lands in the spring arises from their retention of moisture and their adhesive qualities. If they are plowed wet, they dry into clods and are not easily plowed If they are not plowed until dry weather sets in, the proper time for plant ing may be lost. By winter blowing, the frost acts upon the upturned mass of soil and ameliorates it so that a cross blowing ln the spring puts it at once in good con dition The only care to be taken with respect to winter blowing, is that the lands should not be wet when plowed otherwise all the benefit to be derived from the operation is lost. tR'' ifl' .tass sa MILCH cows. 7ot
 Milch cows, even when fresh, will soon fail in their milk if fed wholly on dry food. See that they are warmly housed and feed them on chopped hay mixed whh meal or bran and made into slop, and an abundance of milk willbe obtained through out the whole winter season Every warm and sunny day the COWS should be turned out for q few hours for exercise, either in the woods or barnyard They should be given salt at least twice week and have regular access to pure water.
 COLTS AND YOUNG .CATTLE.
 Rough proyepder alone is not sufficient for colts and young cattle If they are res;r c ed to this kind they will bevery apt to hecome stunted A growing ami ma, even if not worked at all, should have supply of such food as will not impair hisvigbr orinjure his health.i It
 
 IS ao economy to feed entirely on rough proyender, for no amount of after atten- ton can compensate for wan, of proper feeding and care young stock.
 SEcERE THE LEAVES.
 The woods arc now full of leaves h. deed they seem more abundant than ever, but farmers do not value them as highly as wethink they should For barnyards especially they are profitable to haul in. They are obtsinable, too, when there is little pressing work on hand Gathered up in heaps they can be readily loaded in carts aud wagons with close shelvings, by using either cloth some two or three yards square, or with wooden rake and the arm. Hogs are very fond of them for litter, SD are cows; and for compost they are excellent As oat straw is nov usu- ally fed to cattle and rye straw commands high price in the market, there is noth- ing left for the purpose of littering except wheat straw. Hence forest leaves should be held in higher estimation than they commonly are. a.fsd te,smis el
