Mr. Geo. Waring Jr. who lectured in the

Wednesday evenings, is the author of a
kchoot book entitled " tho Elements of Agri
culture" which has for its objoct tho
dissemination among tha fanners of our
country nnd their children a knowledge of
the simple natural laws on which the growth
of plants depend. Such practical knnwledgo
cannot fail to provo highly beneficial to
those who possess it, and we heartily hopo
1 for its genoral diffuaion. Much has been
said concerning the establishment bylaw
and of the endowment by government of
agriculturnl collages, but it scemod to us
that such a course would not be in ueison
with our republican principles, as even the
poorest farmer would have U) assist lu its
supjtort while only the uioru wealthy could
atfurd the time and money necessary to ex
tend its advantages to their children. Tho
farmer of small means cannot spare the time
of his boys in winter. They are ueedod at
home to do the chores ix. It strikes us
that could wo render our common schools
available fortius purpoae w should produce
'the greatest good of the greatest number,"
fur then wo should plica tho means of in
struction within tha reach of all. If some
book (and Mr. Wiring's U the best we have

raising a generation of farm-H that the

The bleep oVJrciic Plants. M. Scemsn,
I the naturalist of Kellctt's Arctic Expedition,
states a curious fact respocting the condition
of the vegetablo world during Ihe long day
of tho Arctic Summcf. Although the sun
never sets while it lasts, plants make no mis
take about time when, if it be not night, it
ought to be, but reirulnrly ns tho evening
hours approach, and when a midnight sun U
several degrees above tho horizon, droop
their leaves nnd sleep, even ns they do nt
sunset in more favored climes. "If man,"
observes M. Seeman, " should ever reach
the pole, and bo undecided which way to
turn when his compass has become sluggish,
his timepiece out of order, the plants which
lio may happen lo meet will show him tho
way ; their sleeping leaves tell him that
midnight is dt hand, nnd that at that time tho
sun is standing in the north."

This County being in ils infant
State, contending with the hardships
of subduing a Wilderness, converting
11 into fruitful fields, being situated
here in n. corner, tit a considerable
reino'.e from the Populous civilized
parts of tho Countries, conceive they
by their own experience in a small
degree feel the sufferings of their An
cestors, the first Planters in America,
who endured hunger, cold, and other
distresses, until they by their arduous
industry found suitable relief from
their bountiful Fields nnd at their
, own Expentes ; and as the People of
this County weic chiefly born in somo
one or the other of the New England
Provinces, and cnnccjvo tlieni to bu
at least us loyal to the King as any
subject he can boast of, they are
surprised lo find by the late Acts of
Parliament that nil America nre de
prived of that ercat Ilight of calling
g'yo that their own which they by their In
20 dustry have honestly acquired ; are
is ' surprised lo find a Power arise in
10 . llrituin which with impunity say they
have a Ilight to bind the Colonics in
all eases whatsoever, and Attempt to
Exercise that Authority by tuking at
their pleasure tho property of the
King's American Subjects without
