ces which, as they much less the imputed GRIM
inality of his offense, ought at least to have
saftened the severity of the council of wars
opinion respecting it, Notwithstanding his i'm
prudence of having possessed himself OF the
papers which they found on him; which,
though they led to a discovery of the nature of
the business that drew him to q conference
with Gen. Arnold, were not wanted las they
must have known) for my information. For
they were not ignorant thatI had, myself, been
over every part of the ground on which the
forts stood, and had, of course, made myself
perfectly acquainted with everything necessary
for facilitating an attack on them. MIR. Wash
ington ought also to have remembered that I
had never, in one instance, punished the dis
affected colonists within my power) with death,
but on the contrary, had in several, shown
the most humane attention to his intercession
even in favor of avowed spies. His acting
therefore in so cruel manner in opposition
to my earnest solicitations could not but excite
in me the greatest surprise; especially as no ad-
vantage whatever could be possibly expected to
his cause by putting the object of them to
death. Nor could he be insensible chad he the
smallest spark of honor in his own heart) that
the example Though ever so terrible and ig-
nominious) would never deter British officer
from treading in the same steps, whenever the
service of his country would require his expo
sing himself to the like danger in such war.
But the subject effects me too deeply to proceed
nor can nv heart cease to bleed whenever re-
feet on the very unworthy fate of this most
amiable and valuable young man, who was
adorned with the rarest endowments of educa-
tion and nature, and (had he lived) could not
but have attained to the highest honors of his
profession"

Intelligence Among Farmers.

We have just laid down an exchange in which
we noticed statement that as class, there
was no occupation whose members did so little
to keep themselves informed on those matters
most intimately related to them, as the farming
population. We believe that the assertion is
too sweeping in character, but unfortunately
for agriculturalists and the country at large,
there is too much truth in it. Asa class, farm
ers certainly do not devote the time they should
to papers, books, etc. Many of them do, and
from their ranks have been furnished some of
the most prominent and useful business men of
the country. But such instances are e1cep-
tional. Farmers think that they have no time
to read. They are tired at night, and it is nec-
essary for them to 60 to bed with the chickens
lin point of time) in order to rise with them in
the morning. When Sabbath comes, they may
60 to Church in the forenoon, but the afternoon
is spent in sleep, visiting, looking at the crops
or-in any way save reading. The children
are sent to school during a few of the winter
months when they can't work in the field, but
in the long months of toll and mental activity
which follow, that which is learned at one
school is generally forgotten before the oppor-
tunity comes round to attend another. Is it
any wonder, this being the truth, that farmers
sons rarely evince any taste for study and in
tellectual cultivationH
These remarks do not apply to all farmers,
but a reflection as to those among his own
knowledge will convince any of our readers
that generally speaking, they are true. Fur
tber, it is mortifying fact, that taking into
consideration the small number of these papers
and the large proportion of the farming popu-
lation, with the single exception Of religious
Journals, we believe that there is no class of
papers in the country which are so poorly sup
ported as those engaged in agricultural inter-
ests. Further still, We believe that publishers
of newspapers everywhere will testify to the
fact that when farmers determine to economize
on account of "hard times" they not unfre-
quently begin with the stoppage of their
paper.
we are glad to believe that this condition of
things is apidly changing for the better The
old order in the West is fast passing away. We
rejoice in the belief that the time is not far
distant when farmers as class will compare
favorably, in intelligence, with any other class.

the young ladies of Andrew Female College,
at Cutbbert, have resolved TO dress in calico at
their approaching examinations and exhibition.
AS a manifestation of their willingness to econ
omize and avoid all unnecessary expenses in
times as "hard" as the present, their resolution
is praiseworthy.

How beautiful the picture of the re / man

such as has paid several hundred per cent
