The last twelve months have been trying ones
for farmers in Maine. A season OF short crops
was followed by an unusually long and severe
winter, and the stock Of hay and other food for
domestic animals gave out in many cases long
before the snow left the ground, and great num-
berS OF cattle have persisted from sheer Starva-
ton. In view Of these unfortunate experiences
and the sharp competition of the west in agri-
cultural productions, they appear to have be-
come dishcartened, and in some localities are
leaving their farms for other calings. A letter
from Buckheld says: "Never were so many
men in .active life leaving their farms for
employment that will give them a living as now.
The farmers now understand they cannot COM
pete with the gardens of the west in raising
stock, corn and grain. Every dollar that Maine
spends IN raising cattle, wheat or corn for the
market is worse than lost"
II has been stated that the brig Abbie Clifford

sick. Advices received to-day report that the
vessel was again spoken on the Dist of April, in
latitude p degrees north, longitude 80 degrees
west, in command of Mrs. Clifford the mate in
the meantime having probably either died or re-
manned too i'll to navigate the vessel, which duty
was being herocally performed by the lady. II
appears that between the 9th and the Dist ult ,
she had sailed the brig % degrees of latitude
notwithstanding her sickness and she will no
doubt succeed in bringing her into port. Mrs
ChHord belongs to Stockton, and bad sailed in
company with her husband on many previous
voyages, during which she took great interest in
Inc profession OF her husband, by whom she was
taught the art Of navigation
