Profits of Farming and Gardening
Operations in the Vicinity of
Houston.
Messrs. Editors:—I am glad to see yon a-e
devoting some attention to the agricultural
resources of old Harris, and especially to
farming in the vicinity of this cily. I was
interested in the article relative to what had
been accomplished by the gentlemen over
fif;y years of age and his family.
I was lately informed by a reliable gentle-
man who cultivates a small tract of land
within the city limits that he realized last
year from the proceeds of his crop ebout
twenty-five hundred dollars—having the
aid of only one laborer. This was done by
about six months work, leaving him 1 he re
mainder of the year to devote to other pur-
poses. When such profits as these can be
realized bv farming operations in this vicin-
ity, why go two or three hundred miles away
from all the c- nveniences of commerce and
the advantages of society to search for
land t * WHY?
'i'Uc .Uusiiioom-* at Philadelphia.
Co .traxy to oar anticipations, as expressed
a few days sine, the Kuow-Nothing nomina-
tion ftir the Presidency has fallen on Millard
Fiilinore, who received 74 rotes against 24
for George Law. If any votes were polled
for Sam Houston the telegraph (JdA not an-
nounce them.. Gen. Houston published a
few day* before the convention, a very pat-
riotic letter addressed to Presided Pierce,
intended, it was thouglil, to gainppi popu-
larity before that body and the people,
charging that ail sorts of conrruption aud
fraud was practised under the government,
and of course implying that under Sam's ad-
ministration they would be prevented. It
was no go however; and, unless the Black
Ri-publicans nominate him, be is as Besonie-
times says of others, "a dead cock in the
pit." The old hero has worked hard just to
be badly treated. Even the freesoilers, who
were cheek by jowl with him, after his de
fence of the 3000 clergymen, were not so
grateful as to do him reverence at Philadel
pliia. He intimates, in his letter to the Pres-
ident, that he is disgusted with the atmos-
phere of the capitol, and says that no con-
sideration would induce liim to remain in of-
ficial position at Washington. Old Sam is
mad—has his dander up—and will do some-
thing before he leaves the Senate. W e hope
he is not of those, of whom it is said, "whom
the Gods would destroy t'.iey first make mad,"
but it looks very like it.
But to return; Millard Fillmore, a free-
soiler before his nomination as Vice Presi-
dent on Gen. Taylor's ticket, and for ought
we know a freesoiler to day, is the Know-
Nothing nominee for the Presidency, and
Andrew Jackson Donaldson, a sort of Sussex
stock politician, whom God never meant for
a statesmen, is the nominee for Vice Presi-
dent. The Convention had sundry rows
and stampedes before this ticket was adopted,
as we infer from brief Telegraphic despatches
and it is pretty evident a vast amount of oil
and whiting will be necessary to rilake it go
down at all, with the different factions into
which the Mushrooms have already split.
We did hope that old San Jacinto would
have been the nominee, just for the chance
of a race. He could have raised some little
furor and allowed the' partizans a chance of
getting up some excitement; but with a
negative leader and a Sussex slock Lieuten-
ant, the Mushrooms will hardly get up a
breeze. After the result at Philadelphia we
presume the Texas Know-Xotliings will dis-
solve. It was very well to hold together as
long as there was a chance for old Sam, but
as many of them were actuated more from
personal friendship for the old hero, or ex-
pectations based on his possible success, it
is t meto make an end of the farce. The
Democrats are willing to admit that it has
been well played, and after all hands shall
have shaken their sides with laughter and
left in good humor, they can afford to plant
themselves together on the Constitution, and
aid in sustaining an able, fearless and patri-
otic President in maintaing the integrity of
that instrument against sectional fanaticism,
aud in upholding the rights of the States and
of the people of the territories as guarnteed
by the laws and Constitution of the country.

So we are to have a Jail in Harris
at Last.
Mr. Editor:—I was glad to notice, in &
recent number of your paper, that proposals
were issued for building a County Jail. Such
an edifice has long been a desideratum in
our community. -I trust the matter will be
pa through with all possible dispatch. This
is especially desirable as we have no public
school or school house in the city, and a large
number of our youth are growing up in idle
nest and of course in Dice, and bid fair to
need a jail for their safe-keeping. At the
last term of our District Coart one youth of
our city, of about sixteen years of age, was
sentenced to the Penitential*. Let us not
cast all the burthen of takfhg care of the
yoath of Houston, who become incorrigibly
vicious, upon the State, but provide house
room and board for at least part of them our

A Fair for the Improvement of

Messrs, Editors:—It i.^ very desirable to
have Court House sqnare fenced in, and the
enclosure set out in ornamental shrubbf ty,
flowers, etc! I am decidedly opposed to
fair* for churches or any thing connected
with church matters, bnt I see not the same
objection to Fairs for other things, especial-
ly snch an improvement as the one indicated.

Sakajxas—It may net be known to all
that the shrub which is known by the above
name, and from which a most delicious tea
is obtained, grows spontaneously and - in
great abundance in the vicinity of Houston.
The root is the part which is preferable for
the extraction rf tea. This must be gathered
before the sap rises; consequently no time
ia to be lost by those who would avail them-
aelves of its advantages this season.
We hasard the prediction that if the sas-
safras root were imported from seme foreign
country, neatly enclosed in boxes, adorned
with pictorial illustrations, etc., it would
command a price in our market equal to
that of the best teas imported from China.
Bnt because it grows spontaneously in our
own foil and ia to be had for the labor of
gathering, it is esteemed of little worth.

The News.
The steamer Pacific, which sailed from
Liverpool on the V23d of January, and has
consequently been «.ut about thirty-nine
days to this time, had not been heard of at
last accounts. The report telegraphed from
Halifax on the arrival of the Canada, that
the Pacific had put into the Shannon, turns
out to be uufounded. It is now gennerally
I believed that she has struck an iceberg and
gone down.
By late dispatches received at New Or-
leans it will be seen that Millard Fillmore
has received the nomination of the Know-
Nothiugconvention for President, and A. J.
Donaldson for Vice-President. The mea-
greness of the vofe is attributable To the fact
that the Delegates from Connecticut, Massa
chusetts, Rhode Islauds, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa
and Pennsylvania withdrew from the Con-
vention. Mr. Donaldson made a very elo-
quent speech'the chief feature of which was
that he owned one hundred negroes !
It was reported previous to the sailing of
the Canada, that an armistice had been
agreed upon by the beligerents to extend to
thelstof April. Lord Palmerston had stated,
however, that England and France Would
accede to no such propositions until the
peace protocols should be signed at Paris.
Mr. Buchanan is reported to have demand-
ed his passports, in consequence of a mis
understanding between him and Lord
Clarendon, and the insulting attitude as-
sumed towards this country by Great Bri-
tain.
Consols had declined per cent, being
quoted at 90 % on the 16th inst.
Reports have been received at New Or-
leans, to the effect that the steamer Belle,
running between Sacramento city and Ca
loosa, Cal., had burst her boilers, and that
the number of lives lost was one hundred.
The ship Calcutta, Capt. Wyman, from
Boston, bound for New Orleans, is reported
lost on the Gingerbread Ground Bahamas.

of much celebrity in ihe literary world, died

Common name. Live Oak.
Medical properties. Emollient, astringent,
Tonic.
Of this valuable family of forest trees,
there are on the continent of N. America, 36
species which have been noticed aud de-
scribed by our botanic trave'lers. Sixteen
of which, in their fructification, are biennial.
Tbe species under consideration is, in its
fruiting processes, annual.
The live oak is an evergreen of great
beauty, growing mostly alone, that is, it
does not often associate itself with other
kinds of trees. It is fouud growing healthi-
ly as far. north as the 32 deg of latitude.
Beginning in South Carolina, it is fuund in
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas ami perhaps, farther West.
For hardness of texture, strength and du
rability, the live oak has no equal in ship-
building. Its timber is not much in u*6 for
any otner purpose. To our farmers, it is at
present, except as an ornamental shade tree,
of but little service. But when our country
shall be chackerrd off into townships by the
numerous R. 11. projects now under way and
soon to be greatly increased, our community
will derive great gain from the cutting and
shipping the timber of the live oak.
As a remedial agent, a decoction of the
inner bark, or of the gall nuts which are
found on the branches of thc live oak, is a
superior wash for prolapsus uteri and all
other cases requiring astringent washes
The extract of the bark, reduced to the con-
sistence of tar, and applied on cloths to her-
nial, or any other rupture, under a proper
compress, will cure them, even those of long
standing. GID.

that one of the best articles that can be
riven to swine while in preparation for

tritive properties are so great that they
have subs sted on it without other food
for weeks together. Geese confined so
as to deprive them of motion, and fat-
tened 011 three grains of corn per day,
and as much coal as they can devour,
have become fattened in eight days.
The hog eats voraciously, after a little
time, and is never sick while he has a

regularly, like all other food.
GRAFTS AND GRAFT WAX.
In selecting grafts, take the twigs
from those brauches which have borne
fruit the prcvous season; or if uds are
wanted, take from those which have
fruit upon them, for by thus doing, fruit
may be obtained, usually, iu two sea-
sons. Graft wax may be made as fol
lows : One pound tallow, two pouuds
beeswax, four pounds rosin, all pure
and clean articles; put the whole into
an iron pot, and heat them until they
come to a foam; then turn the heated
wax into a tub of water, then with
greasy hands work thoroughly as shoe-
maker's wax is worked.
POULTRY.
Their food should be corn, or corn
aud oats, kept where they can have ac-
cess to it at all times, also fresh water
daily. When cooped up, they should
have pulverized oyster-shell and gravel
where they can obtain the.u wheu they
require, and occasionally fresh meat,
with the meat bones aud other scrapings
from the table, and two or three times
a week they should have raw vegetab'es,
chopped line, such as cabbages, onions,
turnips, carrots, &c.; and in summer a
daily supply of grass. It v ill be found
beneficial to teed once a day with meal,
wet up with warm water, especially in
winter.

A small pinch of gunpowder, given

PARSNIPS FOR MILK COWS.
When parsnips are given to milk cows
with a little hay, in the winter season,
the butter is found to be of as fine a
color and excellent flavor as when the
auimals are feeding In thc best pastures
As parnips contain six per cent; more
mucilage than carrots, the difference may-
be sufficient to account for the superior
fattening, as well as butter-making,
quality of the parsnips. In the fatten-
ing of cattle, the parsnip is found equal
ii not superior, to the carrot, perform-
ing the business with as much expedi
tion, and affording meat of exquisite fla-
vor, and of highly juicy quality; the
animals eat it with much greediness.
CONNECTICUT TOBACCO CULTURE.
The tobacco crop of Connecticut has
become so important that the tobacco-

TIIF.SF, diseases are common to many localities
of the I7uite<l States ; but wherever they pre-
vail. North. South, Kast or West, they all equally
spring from the same miasinal cause- The great va-
riety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing
principally to difference in age, sex, constitution
and habits of the sufferers; but as the canse is the
same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that
is competent to oreicome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its
opposite; and for every disease, orcau-e of dis-
ease, there is a re-age n~, or in other words a spe-
cific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from
Marshes, Mugnant Water, decomposition of animal
and vegetable matter,or even newly cleared lands,
is thc same in character and etTect; is a poison
floating in tlie atm* sphere, causing disease to all
who breathe it. In accordance with those unalter-
able laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting
between opposites, there is in the preparation be-
fore ns, offered to the public.

which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes iu
contact with it, even in the open air, and when taken

preserves health.
Tbe remedy is believed to be entirely^new, and
unknown to any but the proprietor, who distinctly
claims the following extraordinary results from its
use :
It will instantly check the ague in persons who
have suffered for any length of time, from one day
to twenty years, and by continuing its use, accord-
ing to the directions, a radical cure will be effected ;
the patient continuing free from the complaint for
ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should
make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system,
it will immediately relieve all the distressing symp-
toms of bilious or ague diseases, and when the dis-
ease is cured it will entirely prevent the accession
of

Brewer was slightly wounded in the

his receiving a wound in thc side. The

How did he Act?—Mr. Fulton is
considered, among Sothern Know-Noth-
ings, a marvellously proper man—as a
Northern statesman with Southern
principles. But how did he act when
the real crisis came on? He did uot
vote for Aikeu—he did not vote for
Banks; but Greeley tells the effect of
his action, or rather in-action, on the
occasion.
Greeley, the notorious Abolitionist,
writes from Washiugtou to his paper,
on the day of the election of his pet to
the Speakership, in the following
terms:
"At the leevee last evening, the Pres-

justice, aud to spare him the infliction of ex-
treme punishment. The sentence of his

URATE.
It is asserted by manufacturers that
from three to four hundred weight of
urat - form an ample dressing tor an
acre of wheat, but it is much better for
the farmer to economize the liquid roil-
ings of his domestic animals aud apply
it to his crops of hay, grain and roots,
as his necessities or wants may require.
All urine is rich iu the food of plants;
the urea and salts are all highly valua-
ble. By attending to this- matter, the
farmer may easily save a large amount
of his richest fertilizers in a single sea-
son. His lands will be all the richer
for it, aud their increased productive-
ness will repay him liberally for all the
trouble and expense involved.
AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Gov. Clark, in his massage, recom-
mends State support of the Agricultural
College at Ovid. This college was or-
ganized in 1853. through the instrumen-
tality of Mr. John Delafield, who be
came its president, but died a few
mouths after. It was first established
at Oakland Farms, thc residence of
Mr. Delafield, in Fayette, Seneca Coun-
ty. It was afterwards removed to Ovid,
on condition that parties interested in
its location there, should raise the sum
of $40,000, to be applied to its support.

PREVENTIVE,
and pursue their respective avocations In perfect
safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly
season, which is often to them the most valuable
part of the year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part
of the United States, its success has been so com-
plete aud unvarying as to have fudy proved these
assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date
of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many,
eveu of the most candid minds, because all the re-
sources of science had been taxed in vfein to subdue
ague or bilious diseases ; and what was still worse
for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment,
whether scientific or empirical, have been limited
to the use of poisonous or destructive drugs, such
as Arsenic, Quinine. Mercury", calieine, &c. The
effects of these are sometimes worse than the dis
ease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or
give only temporary relief," their poisonous effects
are superadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particu-
larly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague
remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uni-
formly assert they may be takeu with perfect safety,
even when it is notoriously well known that their
potency depends solely upon destructive poison.
Now as a proof that the remedy is not only valua
ble on account of its power to cure diseases, but
that it is also

..*1 have made a chemical examination of Rhodes'

It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Rem$dy
is destined not only to relieve the human family
from malarioii? diseases, but to do an equally good
work by preventing the taking of other medicines
which do harm.
The entire -a-isence of any baneful ingredient
makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure
than it is as a preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the
one under consideration, if the medicine be taken '
in advance. This is *>wiug to the diseases l*eing {
produced by one and the same cause, and therefore j
all. both residents and travelers, should protect
themselves by the timely use of this preventive,
and not wait for the poison already turkiug in tb^ir j
veins to develope itself in a violent attack. Take
the cure as a preventive, and" so destroy the poison |
before it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits j
of life prepared by a distinguished physician long j
resident iu a bilious climate now* accompany each i

from the hen house produced better re-

where about one hundred fowls were
kept, sand was scattered pleutifully

surface of this was carefully swept,
gathering up a portion of thf sand with
the droppiugs aud depositing thc whole
in barrels. In the Spring this was in
the most convenient form to be taken to

corn was to be planted, and on a large
field where excellent barn-yard manure
