The momentous flashing OF the electric spark
which bore the great national verdict to the metro
polls Of the cOuntry-where nimble fingers set the
ready type and the rapid revolutions OF the steam
press struck OIL the anxously looked for result Of the
great impeachment jury-reached the g0Odly City Of
Churches with the prOmptitude which the occasion
required and the news spread like wild1re through
out the length and breadth OF the city, exciting vari
GUS and tumultuous feelings of party triumph and
disappointment, as were the varied dispositions Of
the recipients Of the adjustment Of the question of
the hour"

up their dropping spirits while they perused the

sadly on what might have been had Senator Grimes
been too Ill to attend the last act Of the High Court
Some of the radicals claim, however, that 1t Is
just as well as 1t is, because their party has
shown rnagnanmity Of action in this matter which
must augur fayoraby for them, there being no ex.
citement or Ill feeling among them. The scenes
about the City Hail. where politicians and public men
more generally CENTER were very exciting and ex-
tremely ludicrOus in some instances. The "impeach-
1SIS" were Hunuieu WITHOUT gloves, 10 use n CON-
mon phrase, and ridiculed most uncharitaby
by their more numerous political adversaries
of the democratic and conservative schools. A
large amount OF money changed hands;
which had been saked on the result OF the lnal vote
of the Senate. The wineseers appeared to have
proted more largely than any other class OF trades
people in that vicinity from the jubilant effer-
vescence OF the victorious and more excitable of
those who entertained and expressed serious con-
victions on the subject Of impeachment The
general feeling IN Brooklyn Is, undoubtedly, one OF
qualification at the defeat OF radicalism and pr SER

the unrghteous efforts Of partiZan clique to re-
move the Chief Magistrate for place and base party

The sc ,son is at hand when all who
delight in raising carly vegetables, will
begin to think of the means at their dis.
posal for the accomplishment of this ol-
ject; any one who can command a nice.
warm ex 2osurc like the south side of a
barn, or other building, may begin at
once to prepare suitable beds, fer the
raising Of early vegetables, by either max
ing hot led, or forming temporary
frames of boards No farmer should
neglect SO important an object az this


Good and wholesome vegetables are es.
sential to the health of every one, nc
matter whether they be dwellers in the
city or country, and we know that there
is nothing which we eat with our food
that is more eond vc;ve to health than ear


ly salads; and we cannot excuse any
farmer who neglects to provide good
supply Of early vegetables for his family.
In making hot bed. it is only necessary
to throw sufficient quantity of fresh
manure into pile Of conicar shape, and
if dry. to throw few pals of water on
the pile, as it is put together, to promote
fermentation. In this condition it should
allowed to remain for few days until it
begins to ferment and heat, which may be
easily know by the steam arising from
the pile; it will then be ready for max
ing into beds. When forming the beds,
the manure should be well shaken and
spreads evenly together, to the height Of
2 l 2 feet or 8 feet, and any desired
length aud width. The usual size for
a two light hot.b frame is5 by 6 feet,
or by 6. These who have not lights at
command, can cover the frame with boards
at night, instead of glass. The bel of
manure should be six or eight inches
wider than the frame every way, so that
the frame may rest firmly on it. About
eight inches of good compost should be
placed on the bed inside the frame, and


as soon as the rank steam begins to dec


line, the seeds may be sown. The follow

for sowing in a hot. bed at this season
