A Coop INvENTIoS.-A Rhode Island man has
invented a torpedo in the shape of a grain of
corn, which is designed for the Requirement of
crows. AS soon as that offensive bird takes hold
of it, it explodes and blows the top of his head
off. This affords a cheap and innocent recreation
for the crow, and at the SANE time does away
with a grievous evil.

FROM FRANCE.

A dispatch from Paris to the London Obser-
yer says:-s'Three hundred and fifty deputies
in the French Assembly have pledged them
selves to support the motion for a restoration OF
the Monarchy. The deputies of the Right ap-
pointed General Chaogarnier, Duke DAudif-
fret Pasquier, Baron de Larcy, NJ. Combier,
and Count Dau committee to Draw up a
platform on which all sections of the Right can
unite. A special to the New York World says
Theirs has given consent to the proposed al
lance between the Republicans and lmperia-
lists as the OILY means of preventing the res
toration of the monarchy, with Count de Cham
bord as Henry v. The Hew party constantly
receives new accessions to their ranks: never
theless the chances so far favor the monarchists
who have majority in the Assembly, the en-
tire army, and an abundance of money with
which to bribe mean and ambitious politicians.
Nj. Rouher has been promised baronetcy i'm
mediately after restoration, which may now be
considered certain soon after the Assembly con-
svenes. That Theirs should have consented at
last to an alliance with the Inperialist Is re-
'garded as evidence of the rapid strides which
the moparchical cause has been making, and
urgent necessity Tor immediate measures to
preserve the republic.

We published on Saturday, the main features

to their creditors for settlement. 1t is pro-
posed to issue to any creditor certificate of
his interest in the trust, signed by the trustees
which will be negotiable. After the full salts
faction of all the debts the property remaining
will be reassigned to the firm. The under
standing is that no general meeting of the
creditors will be called to take action collective

ties, but they will be addressed by note or
circular in reference to their assent to the pre-
posed arrangement in all instances where the
distance renders personal interview with

relative to the death of Captain Hall, of the
Polaris, has been made by the second mate,
Morton, given to the u S. consul there, and
has been forwarded to the American Govern

Sir Samuel Baker, in letter from Aexan-
dria, Egypt, says the Viceroy has determined
that an English officer shall succeed me in the
Governorship of Central Africa. This is LOGON
testible proof of the determination Of the great
Egyptian reformer to carry out the work to the
good end. There can be no change of the
slave. trade. The so-called traders are to be
driven out en- masse and the Government will
assume the monopoly of every trade until such
time as the opportunity may afford for further
change. =

A farmer in Iowa writes to the american
AGtculturist, giving gloomy account of
the prospects of farmers in the West. We
commend his remarks to the thoughtful
consideration of those who imagine that
farming in the West is so much more prof.
table than it is here. He says:
"Hired help and i leiaents , G 1s;ssssa
more than ours, and yet you get " IDLE the
price for your produce. You get from 6
to cents for your beet, and here we get
from to p cents-and it must be very fat
to bring p cents per lb. Our corn is worth
from 10 to 20 cents per bushel, and we had
to pay 8 cents per bushel for husking. Oats
Is cents per bushel, and we paid cents for
threshing, besides dollar day and board
for all hands. Last harvest many farmers
had to pay 81 per day for men to bind
their wheat. Wheat isnow worth So to 05
cents per bushel. killed nice lot of
chickens for Thanksgiving, and all could
get was Is cents apiece for them dressed

The Farmers Secret Political Society.

There is a secret political society of far
mers, which has already attained formjda-
BILE dimensions in all the western States. 1t
is spreading rapidly in Ohio. Its object is
to benefit the agricultural population, and
to see why its industry is not remunerative
in proportion to other classes. A we'll
known farmer in the State of Ohio, at q
meeting OF agriculturists, held up one
hundred dollar bill, and offered it to any
one would come forward and swear that
for the last two years, in Southern Ohio, he
had been able to make both ends meet
Not single man availed himself of the
opportunity.
The troubles under which the Western
and Southern agriculturists labor are, to
great extent, the effects oflegislation, which
by little investigation that they propose
to set on foot, they are bound to discover.
In the first place, why should money invest
ed in farms taxed, and ut the same time
money invested in United States bonds be
exempt from it In the next place, while
none ofthe farmers products, such as wheat,
corn, potatoes, &c, are protected by any
tariff, why should he be compelled to pay
double and treble prices for his hoes, plows,
axes, reapers and all other agricultural i'm
plements, in order to benefit the iron and
steel interest of Pennsylvania Thirdly,
why should he be obliged to pay Massachu-
sets cotton and wooden manufacturers far
greater price than he could obtain other
and far better articles in Europe for
Fourthly, why should the salt which he
puts upon his beef, his pork and butter be
taxed over 100 per cent, while the New
England fisherman gets his free of duty 2
Fifth, why should the Government, 10y pay
ing an eXorbitant interest on bonds, when
large portion of its Indebtedness could
be taken by the people without interest,
oblige the farmer to borrow it at the same
rate, or go without accommodations of that
character? Why should the salaries of
public officers be largely increased, when
it is so difficult for the farmer to make his exq
penditures and his receipts balance oNH4gs
other? Why should the local freig
railroads, or farmers products, be of SUB: i
exorbitant nature, and thus deprive the asSsS
riculturist from availing himself of they
prices in different markets remote from his
residence? Why should there be so much
stealing, corruption and jobbery in all
branches of legislation, at the expense of the
farmer? These are few of the questions
that will come up before the agriculturists
in body, where they will see them with
out being biased by partisan prejudice and
association.
The agricultural interest is the great source
of all our wealth. Two-thirds of all the peo-
pie of the United States are engaged in it.
Upon its prosperity depends that of all

To Catch Cnt.WOrmS.

1t is very annoying says, the Rora1 Caro-
inian, after having set out nice lot of
sweet potato or cabbage plants to see them
cut down, one by one, by clt-worms. We
have tried ashes, lime, SCOT, and, in fact,
everything we have ever heard of, but never
found anything effectual until, by accident,
we found three or four of the worms one
morning, gathered under small board,
which had been left by some children on
sweet potato hill. Acting upon this hint,
We placed small pieces of board, large
chips, ETC., all through the patch, and we
trapped them by hundreds The boards
must be lifted early in the morning, and
on very warm days, again about noon. A
little care, for few days, will clear these
pests out of the garden. One trial will
satisfy any person of the merits OF this plan.
