fLLAANTINd Conn IN DnILLs.-Of late
year the he.u .suhjectof planting in drills instead
OF bills, has engngd considerable attention
among some Of our best farmers in various
parts Of the country, and as far as VIC can
ascertain it is steadily winning its way into
favor. On the large farms in tho South
and West it will hardly bo approved, but
upon small farms, in affluent soils, where it
isimproperto condense crops, 1t is highly to
be commended aud will no doubt after,
awhile be very generally adopted, 1t may
require little more labor in cpltivating,
but the Increased product in corn and fod-
derwill far overbalance this, and the saving
Of time in planting, as the corn-drill is used,
is on additional consideration a aa
We.have always thought, and Frequently
sail in these columns, that there was not
nearly as much Importance attached to the
fodder as its real value deserved. There is
nothing easier to cure, and there is nothing
that cows and oxen like better through the
winctr. II in good order, which is not Of
ten the case, they prefer it to the best hay
fed to cattle, thriving well upon it. And
what farmer will not admit its value when
cut and steamed, and especially it sprinkled
with little bran?
Indian corn is one Of the greatest staples
Of the country. AS food for man and beast
it surpasses all others combined. Yet We
never thought that its cultivation was attend
ed by that thorouehness which its impor
tance demands. In passing through even
eastern Pennsylvania, where it might be
expected to be cultivated in perfection, there
is a lamentab!e degree Of ignorance or neg
lect manifested. The corn is a tender plant
that will dwindle under rough treatment

THE MODE OF IMPEACHMENT.- After
the House passes the resolution to i'm
peach, it will appoint a committee to pro-
coed to the bar of the Senate, and an
nounce that the House, in its own name,
and in that of all the people, had resolv-
ed that the President should be impeach-
ed for high crimes and misdemeanors, and
that in due time the House will present
articles and make them good. The
House will then appoint committee of
managers to draw up articles of impeach-
ment, and when passed by the house
the managers will go to the bar of the
Senate and announce this action of the
House ask the Senate TO fix the time
to try the charges, and cite Andrew
johnson to appear. The Senate is then
bound to fix the time and inform the
House. At the trial the House attends
in body, and five managers conduct the
prosecution.

HORACE GREELEY ON THE CRISIS. =
Mr. Horace Greeley, being present at the
Wisconsin Republican Convel ton, was
invited to speak. The following abstract
of his remarks is given:
Mr. Greeley was introduced. and made
a Characteristic speech, which was loudly
applauded throughout. He urged upon
the Republicans the necessity of organic
ing, and a systematized effort in the com
ing campaign, to carry the spring election
tons, as it would constitute a prestige
for the more important Presidential cleo
next fall. He said that Congress should
be firm, and persistent in the work of
impeachment, and do their work thor
oughly. He believed that the Republi-
cans would be successful next fall with
proper effort. The rebels must accept of
such terms as we can give, the work of
Reconstruction must be contaminated and
the country restored to tranquility and
prosperity, and the people satisfied that
we had not lost the fruits of our victory
in settling the issues growing out Of the
war The Southern States must be
brought in, loyal side up. He closed amid
the Widest enthusiasm.

THE New YORK TRIBUNE ON The CRI
sIs.-The New 7 ork IribuRe's leader of
Monday speaks thus boldly and clearly on
the situation:
''The President has assumed the re-
sponsibillity of breaking a law Congress
must assume the responsibility of i'm
peaching him. Not to do so, in the face
of this fragrant and insolent proceeding,
is to become partner in the crime. 1t
is no time to consider the party influence
Of impeachment, or its effect upon Pres
idential candidates. We would rather see
the Republican party, candidates and all,
driven into the desert Of Arabia, than to
have them tremble one moment in the
presence of this high duty. The ques-
ton of expedieney was all well enough
so long as the President stood within the
pale of the law; but now when he pre-
sumes to be the executive, legislative and
judicial power; when he claims to de-
eide which laws Congress may pass, and
| what acts are constitutional, to hesitate a
moment is criminal

DEAR TRIBUNE
While gyrating about the Country, l
cannot forget home nor home duties, and
it is pleasure to lay before your readers
the scenes of the last twenty -four hours.
Safely enscoused in Capt. Thatcher
Menasha Stage yesterday morning, we
were soon speeding our way towards rail
way communication through binding
snow storm. We had for company Mr.
T.. W. Kendall, Gen. Agt Of the Rock
River Insurance Co., G. D. Finch of
Milwaukee and young lady, name I'M
known. A jolly time we had-only it
showed For the first twenty miles the
Captains pretty team scarcely broke
good round trot, but a change of direc-
ton brought us into snow banks. Re
member it was showing. The team would
frequently walk up to bank higher than
their heads-we were the first through
since Saturday-and it would seem abso-
luteiy impossible for them to find wav
over it, but without any fuss they would
do so, although the snow was clear over
their backs. | never saw more noble
team for the work When tired out they
would lay down in the snow till rested and
then struggle on. OF course the passen-
gers of their own accord jumped outsand
assisted all in their power, and it was all
that we could do to keep the sleigh right
side up. Some of the drifts were twelve
feet deep, and it was showing still. We
found good dinner and what was better
a warm fire at Horns. They are good
people. On renewing our journey we
found it snowing-it was so strange that
it should snow We arrived at the
Decker House in Menasha, a tip top
place to stop, 81 hours after starting
this, considering that we had from six
inches to twelve feet of snow under foot
and a thousand feet overhead-you will
remember [ stated it was snowing-was
splendid time yes we had splendid
time, sure. Right here let me state,
Capt. Thatcher, man noted for his OBJ
hglng--we ask no pay for this puff-dis
position, and his thorough reliability,
says he would take a contract to get the
mail through every day in the year, from
and to Menasha, in twelve hours, for the
same sum that is now paid the other con-
tractors, and as he said about taking us
through yesterday 5 storm, ''he would do
it or bust, and he has never busted yet.

A STRANGE DREAM.-Among

A STRANGE DREAM-Among the
victims of the late Angola disaster was
Mr. J. p Hayward, of State Line, who
was in the employ of the railroad COM
pany as their agent at that place. The
gainesville, (Ohio) Adrertiser gives an
account of a strange dream-for the cor
rectness of which it vouchcs-which Mr..
H. had Just six months before he lost
his life. 1t says:
''He dreamed that he was away from
home In desert, when suddenly he
heard a terrific crash, and upon look
ing in the direction from which the sound
proceeded, he saw bright light, which
seemed to reach the very-heavens, and he
heard screams and yells of the most fright
ful and heartrcndering character. On
looking about him he saw an august per-
sonage-a monk, he thought-sitting IN
high estate and he enquired where all
that noise came from.
From Hell ~ answered the monk
The dreamer asked, ''What does it
mean? '-The monk replied, CT means
that you must instantly die - Mr. Hay
ward then told the monk he was net yet
prepared to die, and begged for further
time The monk finally said, Your
prayer iS SldiltCu- YOU may llG upOH
the earth SIX months longer, at the ex-
piration Of that time, you shall die -
At this juncture Mr.. Hayward was
awakened by his wife, who was alarmed
at her husbands actions, he sitting up
in bed and being greatly agitated. J"
An Erie paper speaking Of it adds :
'sThe dream made great impression
upon his mind, and was the subject OF
much thought and frequent conversations
with his friends for a time, but at length
he came to look upon it as Of no conse-
quence. On precisely the last day of six
months, he purchased life assurance
ticket for $1,000, took passage on the il
fated train for Buffalo and was numbered
among the victims at Angola.
