The NEW YORK HERALD has made the European
war the occasion OF an enterprise and expendl-
ture in the gathering and transmission OF foreign
news which is a remarkable stride in the pro-
gress OF Journalism in this country, and which,
In the matter Of telegraphIc news, far surpasses
any journal In Europe. Its special dispatches
from every part OF the field of the war, from both

Paris from all the operations in the provinces and
from the leading capitals Of Europe. not OCCASION

II may be said in the HERALD's favor that 1t subordi

Useful Hints.

PREPARATION OF TOBACCO BEDs.-As this is
the season for making Tobacco Beds, we pub
lish the following suggestions by correspond
ent of the Anne Arundel Adgeriser:
Now that the time has arrived for the
commencement of another crop, | propose to
lay before your readers a few practical hints in
reference to the first work which usually en-
cages the farmers attention in this locality,
viz the preparation and sowing of tobacco
beds. This is one of the most important of all
the operations connected with She raising of to-
bacco and upon its proper performance de-
ponds the success of the crop. Without an
early and abundant supply OF plants no one
can expect to be successful. II will not do to
rely on your neighbor, for no farmer ever
thinks of giving plants away until he has fin
ished planting himself, and by that time the
season has well nigh passed. A piece Of ground
in the woods, with a southern exposure, should
he selected in order that the full benefit of the
suns rays may be obtained. The earlier ger
mutation of the seed and protection from the
frost is thus secured. The soil should be loamy
and contain good proportion of vegetable
moild. II should also be as free as possible
from grass and, in order to avoid this, it is
better to select spot well covered with leaves
The ground should be tolerably dry before be-
ginning the work otherwise it will not pull
