A Remedy.?In consequence of the poverty
and anxiety of our people to rally from their
misfortunes, they are disposed to be unsteady
in their purposes, in engagiog in unsuitable
enterprises and avoiding agricultural and me
chanical pursuits; and you wiil render good <jer
vice to your readers by impressing upon them
the necessity of perseverance in any regular
pursuit, and especially urging the farmers to
stick close to their byisiueas aod raisiog a variety
or crops that do not materially interfere with
each other.
This variety of crops will give steady employ
ment to the laborers, who should bo encouraged
to be constant and contented with their homes
and their families to be made comfortable and
required to give a helping hand at all times. It
is to the mutual interest of owner and em
ployee to do so, to keep up proper discipline
and to see tbat o . idiers or loiterers are allowed !
whL? t !?rm duriDK *ork hours
. wo sl?ould aim to diversify crops we
should be careful not to undertake unsuitable
crops, or stock breeding, never eogagiog inanv
thing simply because others are doiog so who
may be very differently situated. Some should
raise tobacco, whist his next neighbor probably
nSli *!? rbeat 18 a cr?P f'or rotation after
oats, and oats after corn, and thus made more
necessary than desirable as a paying crop
with Western markets opened upon us. Clover
is an improver, aud will mix with orchard gras*
or may be sown alone, and the land soon to
be broken up, improved, cultivated a year
or two in other crops, and back to clover again
limothy as a meadow grass on suitable lauds,
is valuable for hay, but is an exhauster of land*
s too late ripening to mix with clover for hay
to an advantage. Roots of the turnip species
are of great value in winter for stock wbeo
green food is not to be bad.
Cattle, sheep and swine of careful selections
rom breeds adapted to the locality, and well
I t for acoordloS. ^ the season, will be valu
ab e to those so situated as to rear them ad
vantageously, affording au income to the farm
er without dolrimcnt to the land; and often
their glean.ng of the fields is of decided ad
vantage, especially with sheep; still farmers
had better destroy their flocks than to ?raze
into the ground youog grastes. When hay is
the crop, what stock they may advantageously
use six months of the year, thfy may have no
place for in pasture- mouths, aud should sell off
in spring iq some lorm. There is a rapidly in
creasing interest spnugmg up in sheep, and as
ar as farmers are situated to raise them let
them do so, aod let there be fifty where there
ia one, and let our people encourage the use of
mutton in lieu of Western bacon. Each farm
or has a share of waste, gleanings, garbage,
j , to support his shoats; then the grass and
harvest ficla till corn is in the roasting ear
stage, whou it is cheap food to feed it whilst
the stalks and fodder are green enough to be
eaten, the latest corn to be used last; then an
ar^f ^towa H irar ?l'd ^ a?d U*,Wards
arc iat towards December; and with judi
cious curing the bacon will justify an average
' .CoDts or. moro for pork, and it wiil be
l\i f ?,me made ^cat, instead of probably
fcd hogs of Western distilleries, slaueht
er-pens, and other filthy deposits of food for
fewi ne.
The breeding of horses is of great import
ance, and much is to bo considered?to what
extent and the kind that should be bred In
stead of sending our money to the West for
pampered horses and mules, let each person
attempt to raise their owo animais, selecting
females with a view to use aod breeding. The
col s are raised with but little perceptible cost
and from two and <*i?lf years ol^by careful
use, they may pay for their food; and then in
wTOiST are probab,y wantcd at
All this requires thought and attention, aod
he eggs being well divided in a number of
baskets, their results come in like mixed crop
at a timely hour peculiar to them, and
through the year there is a fresh and varied
occupation for each one on the farm.
ojock can be increased rapidly, and if good
kinds, the whole surroundings improved ? and
here is no section above tidewa?e? fn which

Whilst a farmer may wish to change off
certain animals, he may wish to have oth

crops, which may be easily effected by public
sale days or private treaty; and it is but a ma -

Explosive Oil ?A decisioD has just been
rendered by the Supaeme Court ot VirgiDia
which is of considerable interest to the buyers
aod sellers ol different lamp oils. In the case
in question a suit for damages was brouKhi by
a woman who had been severely burned by the
explosion of soino so-called uoexplosive oil,
against the grocer who had sold her the arti
cle. The grooer in his detence pleaded that
ho really believed the oil to be uncxplosive,
and that it had been carefully tested by chem
ical experts and declared to be absolutely tree
Iruui all explosive properties whatever. Evi
dence to this effect was also given in court. Sev
eral experienced witnesses, on the other hand,
testified that a peculiar kind of gas was gene
rated by the oil uuder oertain conditions which
exploded when it came in contact with flame.
V'o court held that as the use of the oil for
''Kitting purposes was not at all times aud un
" conditions absolutly free (rom all danger
(> explosion, the delendant was not exempt
i')in responsibility in selling it, and ordered
10 I'ay the plaintiff $12.50 aud costs. 1
