LETTER OF MEssRs DAVID Dows & 90.

HERRING, FARRELL & SHERMAN,
No. 251 Broadway.
Gents:-On the night Of the god ultimo, our store
No. 20 South street, entered and desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon OF your safes in our
countlng-room.
The key to the safe which we kept our securities
was locked inside Of our fre-proof book safe, the
doors of which literally cut to pieces from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it Fortunately we had one OF your Burglar-Proof
Bankers Chests inside, in which our valuabes were
deposited. This they went to work at with will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it. The night dark and stormy,
and the fact OF their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body Of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence Of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and it is with
great satisfaction report that upon opening it we
found our securities all SAFE and therefore cheer
fully ndorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you
You will please send the new safe purchased by us
to countinghOuse, and take the old one, to show
that some safes still manufactured worthy of the
name. DAVID Dows co.

Sometimes an aching heart
Though burning words may not reveal,
Nor sighs the truth impart.

Pride, In its folly, oft affects

And makes believe 1t nothing rccks,
While all within's forlorn.

And pleasure feign so well,
You'd never think they'd loved in vain
Or could sud tale tell

1T is the impression at Washington
THAT Il strong effort is to be made in the
next session Of Congress to keep out
the Southern States from representa-,
tlon 1t is represented there by some
of the extremists, on the authority Of
letters from the South, that there is a
general understanding that as soon as
the States are admitted they will undo
all that they have done in obedience to
the dictation of Congress, and that tho
course Of the Tennessee and Georgia
Legislature will be followed. These
representations, however, are disbeliev
ed rs coming from men anxious to
keep the States out, and are understood
to be disavowed by those most prom.
inent in the work of reconstruction. 1t
is said the President is anxious for
speedy readmission, and that he will
use his influence in that direction. He
does not coumenance representations
Of latent trcachery" on the part Of
the Southernors, nor believe any will

About Drilling Wheat

A correspondent Of the journal of
Agriculture. in discussing the subject
of drilling and cross drilling, (the latter
practiced to some extent in Southern
Illinois,, concludes as follows:
never could hear ola sensible rca-
son in favor Of cross-drilling. Besides
being a lamentable loss Of time and la
bor,i it is q positive injury as have
shown. it cannot be argued that it is
necessary to CROSS drilling in order to
get the grair thick enough. If the drill
is set to dstributesthe same amount Of
grain by single drilling that yon would
put per acre by drilling both ways,
why will it not be sufficient? and that
too by going over the ground but once.
Then your grain will stand in rows and
the rohts will spread lAttcrly and you
need havcno fear Of their occupying all
the ground, The wheat will have 4 bet,
ter opportunity to stool out in the
spring, and the heads will fill better by
not being too crowded. The right way
to SOW wheat at all times, is to put it in
just rs you hope il may stand at harvest
time. One Of my ncighbors said, "l.al.
ways SOW q peck more per acre than |
expect to have stand upon the ground
for some Of it will not come up, iwhy
if it is good seed and is put in right;)
''and some Of it will wintcr-kill, and
one thing and another, so that by the
time it comes 10 blossom, there will not
be too much" But suppose it does
come and don't winter kill ? Then You
have the additional disaster ofits being
too thick, which is much greater ca.
lamity than some might suppose. One
OF .he most successful wheat growers
in the known world. Mr.. j. j. Mochi,
Of Tiptrec, England. says: That the
thick sowing Of grain is Great nation
al calamity; that more crops fail to
ycild well from too much seed soWn,
than from too little manure; and adds,
that Liebig justly says, that the greatest
enemy to wheat plant is another wheat
plant, for the very obvious reason that
both require the same food small heads
and kernels, and weak ilabhy straw are
the natural consequences OF this com
petition For seycrGl years tried one
bushel of wheat per acre against two
bushels drilled. The difference in favor
ofonc bushcl amounted to seven dollars
and fifty cents pcr.acrc. Thus it will
be seen that the question, how little
wheat shall be soWn; is quite as I'M
porlant as the question how much an
other matter to he lightly considered
is the quality of the seed. Well maturcd
plump, full grains and not shrivelcd
kernels that will bring weak constitu-
tional plant, and certainly not cheat,
should be planted. Spend as much time
as you can afford in preparing the
