The judge in the case of the Tilton libel has
refused to issue subpenas for witnesses, on the
ground that the case will undoubtedly be dis.

The publication of Mr.. Beeoher's statement
is promised this week.
Aug. 5.
Tilton has declined to have any further
communication with the Beecher investigating
committee, on the ground shat he cannot ex-
pect justice from such a tribunal, and has
expressed in letter 10 the Committee his in-
tention of carrying his case into q court of
law. The Gaynor-T ilton libel suit has been
abandoned.
The libel suit against Tilton has been with
drawn. Tilton now talks of bringing a civil
action against Beecher, claiming damages for
the seduction of his wife. The public are
getting a good deal disguised with the pro-
longation Of the scandal.

great since the unfortunate plan of selling
the islands has brought additional uncer-
tainty into all Westindian relations, and
finally domestic capital which has proved
large enough to carry out enterprises of
greater magnitude and farther from home.
Should not Denmark, which has been able
to e~ncircle the earth with telegraphic
wires, which has surplus capital enough
for participating in one great foreign
loan after another, should not that Den
mark have 3 Millions RixdolIars to invest
in an enterprise, which according to all
human calculation will yield a very good
interest, aud which would rescue a Danish
island from ruin2 The answer appears
not to admit of doubt, when the question
is only put by the right man, and that this
may be done is the wish with which [

Farm Work for January.

The beginn 'ng Of a New Year shsuld al
ways be time for thought and brain
work within doors, with the prudent and
sensible farmer. He should castiup all
his accounts for the past year and ascer-
tain to cent what he made clear, and
what are his assets, and what is the true
amount of his Indebtedness, or, if happily,
he is free from debt. the precise amount
he has due to him, or what is to his credit
in Bank, or the cash in hand.
Next. what manurcs be bought the past
year, that paid him the best; what crops.
and which fields yielded most also what
kind of stock paid the highest profit and
with the least expense, troabls and care.
He should see that his Farm Book has
been properly kept for the past year and
we'll arranged for the present. Every
plan for the coming year should therein
be recorded, and an account opened a.
gainst every field and every kind Of stock,
aud against individual animals, If there be
any of much notoriety. In this farm-bock
q diary shonld be kept of the work, state
Of weather, remarkable events, &c. On
the first page, should be correct invent
ory Of all the farming utensils, valued at
their cash valuation, and any new ones
bought during the year to be added to the
list, and ten per cent on the whole r.
mount, for. breakage, wear and tear to be-
charged against the farm, along with tho
other debts A list Of all the stock and
their fair valuation or cash cost prices.
Another account in the Bo * of the Farm
should be opened between the master and
the farm. In this the farm should be-
charged with taxes, six per cent. interest
on the value of hand, ten per cent. On
value of stock, cost of fertilizers, labor,
new implements and stock 4; and expenses
Of every description. On the other side,
credit the farm with nett proceeds Of sale
of every thing, all the utensils ind stock
of every description, at such cash va!ua-
tion as the interest was charged on against
the farm, and also with house rent, fael,
keep of pleasure horses, butter. milk,
meat consumed in the family. poultry,
honey, &c besides vegetables, meal and
corn consumed in the family. All this
will consume many hours in the early
part of January in arranging the most OF
these accounts, aud will require some
short time zach day or every few days in
ench week in keeping up the various ac-
counts and memoranda, but will end in so
much self-gratifeatiou ard useful data, az
recorded experience, that will be q basis
for future operations and at last become
so much habit Of pleasant and profitable
duty, that it could not be dispensed With.
even if one tried to do so, after series Of
years. conformity with the rule. A FREE
quent recourse to this book would be not
only agreeable but highly interesting and
instructive.
We may hope that the corn is cafe in
the crib, the stock cared for and the ire
secured for the next year, while wood is
being secured. cut and piled for seasoning,
and all the fence rails and posts required
for fencing are being got ready and haul
ed in their places, when they will be re-
quired.

Stock Of All Kinds.

Keep dry with fresh beds Of straw.
orn-stalks, saw-dust, leaves. &C., under
tight shelters covered with plank or brush,
and straw or csrn fodder. Open shelters
facing the South are best in our climate
for sheep, yonag cattle, colts and mules;
also for cattle not worked or milked--
stalls arc best for the two latter, and for
beeves, it is best to put them in stalls
keeping plenty of litter always about them
and giving plenty of water and food until
they leave the stall for the shamblcs,
when there will be found deep bed If
superior manure while the heat arising
from its decomposition has aided the ami
NAL in taking on flesh, at the same time
it has had soft, dry and warm bed to
repose while digesting its food, and cen
sequently it necessarily has taken ON fat
and flesh rapidly. This, however, can
only be done SUCCESSFULLY where large &
mount of straw or leaves are at command.
Under this plan, the manure from the
stall of each OK will not only pay for the
labor and attention. but 60 near to pay
for the food consumed in the fattening
process. The young stock must be strict
ly attended to this month. Handle and
card the colts and calves, ssiag them to

gin before they ore year old. When
wanted for service they will not need

the term is exempli6ed in the FIRST taking

The speaker was Worcestershire squire.

the great civil war broke out-the war

King. and had risen to the rank of Gen.

by the Parliamentary army lull had
fallen, which was broken in 1648 by tu-

fluences of this tsnimotien had extended
through all England, but the vigorous
measures of Fairfax, the Parliamentary
commander, had compelled the cencentra-

Essex. Against them strenuous siege
