he should 60 ahead and say and do what be con-
scientiousy thinks right without regard to
frowns or smiles-

we observed is considerable Of farmer, and
many would do well to initiate his example.
Early in the spring he enclosed his lot known as
the basin lot, and commenced cultivatng ii. He
has already from it a good crop of potatoes and
corn. and now we notice the finest lot Of celery
