Yeralo,
Primitive Drainage.

Many years ago a Yankee from
che Valley Of the Connecticut, bot
an improved farm, so-called, In q
western State. Most ofthe clear
ad had gentle inclination 70 the
east, ana along its base meandered
a brook, or, as it was called there,
q s,run." This land had subsoil
Of pretty stiff clay. The owner.
being deslrous of producing his
breadstuff, sowed several acres to
winter wheat, which flourished in
autumn finely, and promised an ex-
ub + mt yield at harvest time. In
March the snow went of, the
ground was wet, but despite Of its
din the water did not flow off and
sink through the clay subsoil,--it
could not. The consequence was
that between freezing, and thawing,
and the lifting Of anchor ice, the
wheat was detached from the soil
and fully nine-tenths of it killed,
On making the discovery, the
owner said Il was ofno use to farm
land where water would not run
down hill, and proposed to pull up
stakes and stick them in a o ton
Of counry where water would obey
the laws Of gravitatiOn. A neigh
bor advised him not to be too pre-
cipitatate in making a change, but
to try wheat once more onla few
acres prepared with under-drainage.
This was done in a very primitive
way. Deep furrows were run u2
and down the face Of III, hill in
about four rods, sapIings about six
inches Ia diameter placed in the
trench on each side, and a third
plaoed on top to keep item asunder.
HemIock boughs were thrown over
these and the soil thrown back, M
king the surface as even as before
Three acres were prepared with
this drainage, which cost but little,
but it's effect on the succeeding
crop Of wheat was most marked.
There was no more throwing out
by frost; the surface water work
ed its way out through the weod-
en- drains, leaving the soil warm,
dry and fructifying. The result
was a crop OF wheat so heavy as to
make the grain cradle culver as it
was swung through it. In the
changed condition Of things, water
did run down hill, though declining
10 do so while the land remained in
its original condition. There is
vast amount of land in the country
condemned to lasting sterility sim
ply because its owners neglect to
change its condition by removing
from 1t the surplus moisture which
the character of the soil prevents
from finding an underground ave
nue. Of escape, --Raral Neto York

So far rs heard from, but eight out of the
twenty-seyen representatives have been chosen as
ministerial supporters, twelve are Independent,
and the rest doubtful. The result is 4 matter of
cOngratulation to all who favor the progress of
free speech, free ideas and ministerial responsible
iy to the King and people. Every representative
will support the ministry in all wholesome meas
urcs, when convinced that they are for the benefit
of the whole nation, but they will probably de-
mand, n they should, the why and wherefore of
every measure brought up for their consideration.
Notwithsta nding this APPARENT majority of Iudc-
pendent representatives it must be remembered
that they sit with the mobiles, and on all ordinary
occasions, at least, vote with them. The mobiles
and ministers number eighteen, 30 that out of u
full house Of forty-fye, the Independent rcpresen-
tatives, even if united on any vote taken, will still
number less than one-third of the whole. Here
is one of the evils of the present unwisc system of
having the mobiles and representatives sit in one
house-thcre can never be any full and fair ex-
preston Of popular sentiment, unless the whole
body of representatives are united, of one mind,
and are led by one firm ~lcaler, a contingency
which can rarely happen. As now, the voice of
the people i virtually hushed, they are in sub
lection to the mobiles and ministers. Until this
injustice is removed, the people have n strong
ground for opposition TO the present Constitution,
and we trust the thing will be agitated till their
rights are restored.
IL will be observed that the seats of at least
seven representatives viii be contested. This is
owing to the competition shown at the polls in
several districts, which led T%artisans to resort to
unfair, and in some instances illegal means, To
secure the election ef their candidates. Ii will be
impossible to decide what the merits of each case
may be, till the facts are all laid before the Legis-
latiye Assembly. If the charges are sustained by
impartial evidence, new elections will no doubt
be ordered.

OPIUM EATING IN ENGIAND-Opium eating. 1t Is
said. goes on To an Incredible extent III the eastern
counties. Or. Hawkins, of Kings Lynn, tells the
readers of the Medical journal that half the opium
imported in England is consumed in Lincolnshire
and Norfolk. One Lynn chemist sells two hundred
pounds. another one hundred and forty pounds, a
wear of solid Opium. besides FIVE or six gallons OF
iaudanum. and FIVE or six gallons of Godfrey :
Elixir. "a pint of laudanuin in every three gallons)
a week. People will be startled to hear of draw
ers full of half draehm packets of opium. OF which
many customers take three a day. \ farmer came
in to get some laudanum. "How many Drops
asked the chemist. "props!" was the reply. " give
me an ounce and a half the chemist looked ut
him. saw he was in the habit of taking it. and gave
him the dose. He drank il of, returned twice IN
the day for the same quantity. and took home a
half pint bottle full with him when he Left the
market. The habit Is no new one. The present
writer can voRch for its existence in and around
Spalding. and even across in LeiceStershire, a doZ-
en- wears ego. The excuses would be obyious-de-
eeient food with the poor. ague and rheumatic"
needing an anodyne, with others. But 1t Is q
growing habit. and DR.. Hawkins speaks very
strongly of its pernicious effects in poisoning the
blood. To 1t he attributes the excessive infant
mortality in the district. and the miserable. feeble,
brownish yellow countenances so striking among
many of the inhabitants.

DEAR JEDGE Its 4 good thing for you that you're
in the country, or, TO put it more gracefully, in the
rural districts. You just stay there and look on and
enjoy the fun; I'll send you the papers, and write
you a letter once in a while, and keep you posted.
Don't you think of coming down, because things are
badly mixed here now; for if you should come they
would be worse mixed.
We're on politics here now, and we've had n cam
paign and an election and such jolly work, and that's
what's got things mixed. I've taken particular pains
TO keep myself posted about all that's going on, and
I'll post you; so. as 1 said before, you just stay up
there, and enjoy the fun.
In the first place we're to have a party, not the
kind Of a party you're used to where
&" They dance all night,
Till broad daylight &c,
but n political party, and it's to be called the "peo-
PIES party" And now I'll tell You how il all came
about. You see the Government has long been anx-
ious to have such n party, because they felt as if
they'd hal their own way long enough, and wanted
n little opposition, and they've been trying ever since
1861, when they subverted the old Constitution, TO
get one; but they haven't succeeded until now in
hitting upon the right plan to bring it about. This
time the lucky idea struck Doctor Long-ghOst, who's
