A l'crilonx Hide.
The How-aril (Imi.) Tribune gives this <•-
count of an exhibition incident which occur
red in a ladies’ riding match, at the fair in
that couutv, a few days since :
“Presently one of the horses became ob
stinate, and his rider became “spunky.”—
She used the whip freely and fearlessly ; the
horse grew mad and desperate, w hen there
occurred a terrific scene. The enraged
horse, a large hay, took the bit and ran at a
j furious speed. The crow and became wild,
and cries that would deafen an inhabitant of
Pandemonium went up from hundreds ot
frightened mortals. The screams, veils and
slumts frightened a gay looking gray horse,
ridden by 01. e of the ladies, and he went off’
as furiously as the hay. After a round or
two the horses evidently got over their
fright, and entered into a contest for sneed,
lull the multitude were still frightened, and,
as usual, lost their w its and began to set earn.
The horses went on, the hav stii! leading.—
! Gray made a terrible onslaught, and, just as
I they passed our stand point,dashed gallant
!!y into the lead. Bay took courage, and
; ran like a frightened gazelle at the quarter
pole, collared the gray, and before the round
was made, opened a gap of lull two lengths.
Gtay did not again get the lead, although
at one time his nose was having on the hay's
quarters. About this time a dating fellow,
who holds a tender relation to one of the
luditjs, fished through the crowd into the
circle, and us they passed going at lightning
speed, he caught llie reins of the bridle,
and that instant he was turning summer*
saults in the air. He landed Iwentv-nine
feel 1 1 mu llm place where lie caught the
horse. I lie lady then, for the first lime,
became alarmed, and as she turned about to
look alter her (as die supposed) lost “lover,”
the saddle turned, and down she came, head
foremost, towards tiie ground. Notwith
standing the screams that were heard be
fore, vie discovered from the noise made at
the moment that the crowd had been filled
with • pent up feelings.” But. a host of gal
lant fellows blockaded the track with their
bodies, and the hay was stopped “in his
wild career, and the lady released from
the stirrup by which she was hanging.”

a pistol, ant] presenting it dost to 1 1 is head, i
swore that if he litter*dx word he would I

that he may come hack in halt an hour.—
Ihe thief had taken the precaution to lock

Christmas Suicide —A Homesick
Englishman Cutting Ills Tiiroat.
A shocking tragedy oeenred Sunday
morning at tiie New England House, No. 02

man, a cigar maker by trade, while labor

Mr. Asher was a young man, only twenty
fir e years of age. He had been employed
by Nefnad Loomis, in tsnffie I. at his trade
**f making cigais; but from a feeling of
| ionesoiiieness, liomes'cKtiess and desponden

left the ears at the A-vium street Station,
and went to the New England House, where
they stani over night.
On arming at the hotel the brothers
met.an old acquaintance from England, and
the conversation had with him produced in
the mind of voung Asher a still more de
spondent and homesick f-*-,ing, and he shed
tears while expres-u.g a d-sire to go ha.-k
to England lo see In* mother. Ti*e next

Terrible Suffering of a Family.

prevalence ot a severe storm, a young man
who had been sent from S:. Chur 1 .• Haz e
ton. with a team for the purpose of remov
ing ti*e family of Mr. V . entitle Fr.inlz to
the foimer p .-c-e. found it necessary t*> un
hitch his horses ami leave the wagon, which
contained the family, on a mouniain. to go
home atnl have ins horses shoes shaipetied
The persons composing the family left it*
that dangerous position, were Mrs. Frantz,
five sitiuii chiluleli, an elder daughter, atm
her husband. After tiie ilriier had been
absent some time the family left tl e wagon,
for the purpose, if possible, of reaching their
home; hut the rain falling fast and freezing
ratud V as it fell, impeded their progress.—
Mr>. Frantz sank to the ground a dozen
times in a instance of between one and two
miles, tet she dung to and ‘protected her
babe with the tenor which characterizes a
mother’s love. At la-t Mrs. Frantz, over
come by cold mid fatigue, could proceed no
further. The young man placed her and
four of the children on the ground, in as
sheltered a position as he could find ; pick
ed up the remaining child, a liov, in his
arms, and with his wife, proceeded home as
rapi'ity as possible On t eaching I otne he
informed his friends of the occurrence, am!
thev started 111 seat eh of tiie unfortuna'e

and the children were insensible. Tiie
ehihiieii were taken to a place of shelter ;
but Mrs. Frantz was not removed until a
wagon had been procure*!. The first inqui

NUMBER 23.
Cultivating too Witch I.and.
The farmers generally attempt to culti
vate too much land. The disadvantages aris
ing fiom this cause, are many and obvious.
It is no exageration to say, that the lands
cultivated in the country are capable, under
a high state of cultivation, of producing
twice as much as they now produce.
W’hen will our farmers in the country
fully appreciate this truly ! There is no one
, tiling that couti ibutes so much to retard our*
agriculture, as the fbilj of cuilivaliog too
; much land. -
In the first place no farmer should think
If managing 80 or 100 acres of land with
one or nro men. It is had economy to do
so: nothing can he expected from it but
i“*verty poverty of both land and purse.
How much better it would be to cultivate
halt the nu idler of acres, or less, and do it
well. It costs lust as much to ployv :tn acre
that yviil y ield ten bushels of corn, as one
that w:ll yield fifty or a buttered bushels.
1 lie diilerem-e in hoeing would be a trifle,
hlid the planting would he the same amount
of fencing in the one case as in the other,
and tiie same tax will have to he paid on
each. \Yiiv not, therefore, plow less and
. plow deeper / why not cultivate ie*s land
! and marmie more.- Farmers, many of them,
appear to forget that they have a productive
farm just underneath one they are cuiriva
t tig.-qualiv an*l perhaps much mol e pi oduc
ttvethat the one on ti*e surface.
Turn lip this farm, then, with a deep sub*
plow,—expose it to the action of tl e sun
and frost, art i thereby double our crop.
But tiie surface farm —if there are any
sei ip es al.out i. sturbing the one inline
oely 111. .-rneatti may he greatly increased
r* productiveness by properly manuring it.
Let a portion of spring work he devoted to
carting out manner on the iand that is to
be cu iivated. Be assured that no labor
wiil pay letter. If any one has doubts on
the subject, let him try on acre of lien land
without and another with manner. And if
hedesites to he -ti,l more utilitarian in his
investigation, let him deduct the cost of the
manner from ti e value of ll e increased
crop, and it wiil t e found that it is much
better to manner one acre well than culti*
‘ate two without manure.
I’d let him try the experiment of hotly
plowing deep, at the same time manuring
well, and he will forever abandon the idea
• and cu rrating more land than Le can culti
vate well.
Farmers! think of these things; do more,
practice them, and our word fur it vou will
never have occasion to regret that you di 1
not cut ivate more la’d.
Decline of reiiiale Conversation.
An English writer declares the fact, that
t lie women of our day do not convt rse, and
then attributes it to the multiplicity of stud*
-s and li.e evening confinement to books
and school companions, he savs:
•It shod ! be as much a matter of duty
ol c. •-ti cto sist on out-door exer
cises and in door social recreation, ns upon
c y of ti*e regular exercises of the school
room. School studies should he cot fined
absolutely- to school houses. To a’ w them
to encroach upon the graceful household du
ties and recreations, w hich either are or
■ ■light to be provided for every gtri at home;
•n other words, to subordinate home train*
:■ g to school training, or to iutennit the for
mer in favor of the latter, ts a most palpable
and ruinous mistake. It is bad even til an
Intellectual point of view. To sav nothing
• Joiner disadvantages, il deprives girls of
•he best opportunities they can ever hare of
learning that most feminine, most beautiful,
most useful of all accomplishments— the no
te art of conversation-. sot conversation is
an art as well as a gift. It is learned best
by familiar intercourse between young and
old. in the leisure and unreserve of tiie even
ing social circle. But w hen young girls are
banished from this circle by the pressure of
school tasks, talking only with their school
master till they ‘come out’ into society
and then monopolized entirely by young
persona of their own age, they easily learn
to mistake chatter for conversation, and
‘sma i talk’ becomes for life their only me
dium of exchange. IJent-e with aii tiie in
tellectual training of the day there never
was a n-reat deal of intellectual conversa
tion.”
Sl FFERING AT IMF XottTH. The late sec
tional excitement, and the consequent with
drawal of Southern orders, are causing no
iu.c suffering at the North among mechan
ics ami operatives in the various factories.—
\ large number of hands, especially in the
New England States, have already been dis
charged, ami otiiers will soon he thrown out
of employment.
Tiie Chelsea (Mass.) Herald reports dull
times there, “the best carpenters being glad
to get work at 81 25 per day, am! good
workmen commanding only 75 cents. —
Painters, it is said, will not average 50 cents
a day during the winter; ship-carpenters
are out of employ, and masons have gone
into the i-ouiitrv.”
The Journal of Commerce adds, that
Northern mechanics and manufacturing
1 artizans are preparing in great numbers to
1 move to the South, there to follow their
respective callings
Oniiity is a kind of charm that at
