"Can goody4tfjpe*ed farms be rented reason

An intelligent farmer, disposed to cultivate
the farm yot only to his beat present advantsgo
bat also to-the advantage of the proprietor, can
hire very reasonably.
Id answer to another question, we remark,
that farm stock ia hold generally at rather low
prieee, but that g*od work oxen, horses, and
mules, range in pricc about as they average
throughout the N. K. and Middle states, say
980 to $120 for oxen per yoke ; 3100 to S150
for horse* and mules. Good horses and good
mules are often sold for less than 9100, but we
think the priccs named will fairly average as
abave named.
'llow cold in winter, how hot in summer?"
It is pretty correctly stated ou the fouith
page of this paper, that the tomperatur? avera

mercury was up to 103 doring the hottest part
of the day for four days; but in the evening we
had cool, refreahing western breeses, and we can
atfely aay that that temperature was not oppres

The facc of tbe country is very hilly. It is
covered with small streams, and numerous val

found to be most admirably adopted for the
growth of frait. On tho' elevations the f. uit is

Peaches thrivo extraordinarily on the hills.—

good crops every year for twenty years. Grapes

Ctrluolf, for i man about to 1mv« tha o!iir
settlement*, no more dosirablo locatioa*- can be
found in thia country for a man of family, who
wiihaa to aak* himself a home.
Onr neighbor* tho resident Yirginisns, are
every way kindly uiapoaed, and encourage the
settlement hero. They are notonly willing, but
anxious thai the country ahould bo tattled by
industrious and intelligent man ; the land culti
vated, better roads made, achools multiplied, the
mineral resources developed, and tho mcana in
ereaaod that bring money into thh aoction
and add to every landholder's wealth. And wo
think the government officials who have ooun
t»u the increased County revenue for tho Inst
two years havo no very strong objections to
such a result of the cstabliahment of Ceredo.
There ia an extraordinary abundance of uiin
era! wealth in this county. It ia one of the
richest countiea io the Union ^ and thoso who

soon to anirouuoe something in regard to thia
matter that wilt be peculiarly interesting to the

CEREDO IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Cercdo is locatcd in liia South* stern orner of
Virginia, Wayuc County. The county is bounded on
the North by the Ohio river, on the South and We»t
by tlie Dig Sandy river and Kentucky on the opposite*
shores, and extends into the interior forty to fifty
miles. It is about 100 mi es East from Cincinnati,
uO from Tarkersburg, 400 from Washington, 830
from Kiclimond, and about 1,000 miles from Boston,
Mass. The site of Ceredo is at the mouth of Twelve
Pole, a crcek rising sixty miles back in the country;
two miles from the mouth of Dig Sandy, and nine
miles from the mouth of Quyandottc river, and em
braces a section of nearly two miles of rich bottom
land on the bank of the Ohio. The centre of the,
town is on an elevation twenty feet above high water,
and commands a fine view of tho river for ten miles
up and two miles down that stream. Twelve Pole
Bar, in tho river a breast the town, is til head of low
water navigation. The point has been sele eta the
terminus of tho groat Virginia Central Railroad, con
necting Norfolk with the Ohio river.
TUB CLIMATE.
The olimate is mild and peculiarly salubrious. The
district embraced within Wayne and the adjoining
counties, is hilly and mountainous, and furnishes a
quit* even temperature, and most of the time a healthy
and invigorating air. The hills have numerous
springs of wattr, and through tho valleys run little
tributaries to the larger croeks thence to the Ohio,
In tho winter the weather is ahangeble from frost to
wet, but very little of the extremes, except occasion
ally. In the summer the mercury rises to 100 often,
bat the weathtr is tempered by mountain and forest
breeses, and reduces the average to about 80. No
particular kind of diseaso is prevalent here; fever
and ague so ooinmon in most river and prairie coun
tries, is only rarely known.
THE SOIL OF WESTERN VIROIKIA.
A (correspondent irou» rtew Tork Bute, expresses
regret that tin soil here it clay and lot in, and would
prefer' sand and loam. We do not know the reason
of Ilia preference, and think he would find no better
land auywhars, *ven 'vhers It is t%nd and loam.
This writer mentions in hia letUr tliat ha under
atanda the cultivation of frnits and trees. We repeat
what we have before eaid on thi 'subject, we tbink
this is the y%rj best location a man aonla select for
the cnltivaUon of fruit trees. Any amount of land
can be purchased for $0 to $10 per acre, on which
applea, pears, peaches and grapes can be raiaad every
year without fail. All tha evidence we liava on this
point froirf the old residenu here is to this effect.
Peaches invariably do well on the bills in this region;
and thongh grapes have not been cultivated to a great
extent, all experience here, and on the other aido of
the river, below, is in favor of the aaaertion, that
grapea are an abundant and paying crop. The mar
kets for these things are resdy and paying.
These hills are most of them now cevored with tim
ber, though in many instances a port Of the high land
has been cleared and used for corn, wheat, or pastur
age. Perhaps nearly half oL the land offered, and
oalled hill la^d, in this immediate vicinity, has been
worked upon more or less, and much of that contain
ing large quantitiefof limber may be eaeily prepared
for fruit trees. For a man who knows bow to nan
age tbe young trees, we tbink no better investment of
the kind could be named. The warm seasons are long,
the hills full of springs of good water, and benntiM'
locations for building dwellings, abundant in every
direction. The only objection we have heard is the
want of roads, but that is a light one in our view, and
will be nothing four years from now.
For cultivating fruit and garden vegetables both,
part hill land and some bottom.Isnd, making tlis
whole come quite cheap, would be a good investment.
The bottoms are very rich an>l usually high priced; a
man unwilling to pay $80 to $60 per acre for bottom
land, could buy one-third bottom land and tbe balance
in the hills, and get it cheap, and realise immediate
returns from his investment.

A reinafrkable incident in the reli
gious world occurred in New York on
Saturday. A Mrs. SUhennan, who

made public profession oTthe Jewish
faith'at a Jewish synagogue, and wju
received into the Isrselitisn fold.
Shelter is a want of iho first no
ccssity in cold weather, for stock, and
no farmer may ncglcct with safety or
economy many provisions of this na
ture. The farmer needs a good house
for the comfort of himself and his
family, a barn to keep his grain and
fodder from the weather, and stables
to protect his cattlo from cold storms.
Sheds, stables, feeding racks and fee
ding troughs, often aavo in one win
ter their entire coat, by avoiding the
needless consumption of food to im
part warmth, and by preventing a
waste of fodder under foot. Much of
the profit of rearing cattlo depends
upon the manner of keeping them in
the wintor. If they aro suffered to
lose flesh during tho cold season, and
are turned out to pasture "spring
poor," it takes a long time for them
to regain what they have lost.}, The
frructlct) of feeding and leaving. *ock
in the open fields, without shelter or
any protection from the cold and se
vere storms of winter, is a cruel one.
And'ilmt animals should by such neg
leet becomc poor, or even diseased
and die, is not surprising. Though
provided with sufficient food, stock can
not thrive under such treatment. It
is true, strong animals may endure it
but what becomes of the young and
the weak ? It is useless to say that
good animals can be raised under such
treatment. It is the truest economy
that looks closcst to the comfort and
thrift of the stock on the farm.
A carpenter wlio always prognosti
cated evil to himself, was one day upon
the roof of a five story building upon
which had fallen a rain. The roof
being slippery, lie lost his footing and
as he was descending towards the eve
exclaimed, 'Just as I told you!' Catch
ing, however, in the tin spout, he kick
ed his shoes off, and regained a place
of safety, from which he thus deliver
ed himself—"I knowed it, there's a
pair of shoes gone to thunder 1"
How easily ono can tell whether a
man is glad from within or whether it
is only the play of sunbeams chanc
ing to fall upon him. Happiness is
not the work of chisel and mallet, nor
mortised into the soul, but "put out,"
like the arms of a tree whoso green,
untrammelcd leaves flutter with the
life it shares.
Manners are the shadowstif virtue;
the momentary display of those qual
ities which our fellow-creatures love
and respect If yfp strive to hecontjf
what we strive to appear, manners may
often become useful guides to the per
formance of our duties.
