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.” Daring Itohbcry ami Darroting Cask at hie Gavosn in the dav i ime.— Escape of tiie Villain. j One of t lie boldest and most daring rob ’ lieries which has come to our notice in a j long time, ocelli red yesterday morning be tween 9 and 10 o'clock, at the Gavoso House, the victim lieing Mr. Keilpr Kurtz; of New York. Il seems that Mr. K , who is a travelling agent for C. F.

W hile the servant was engaged yesterday morning, at the hour above slated, ill lighting a fire in his room, a well dressed gentlemanly looking man en tered. I*i 1 f immediately apologised, staling that lie hail mistaken the loom. Soon after the servant left, however, the iudiviual re turned, very kindly inquired after his health, asking, a", the same time, if he should no; help him to a glass of water.

W hen con sciousness returned, the fellow yvas rum maging among his clothes, and turning things right and left. Fearing that Mr. Kurtz yvas about to give an alarm, lie drew a pistol, ant] presenting it dost to 1 1 is head, i swore that if he litter*dx word he would I kill him. At this time the servant, returns 1 to the room for soir.eihing. hut finds the room locked, and is cooly (old by the man that he may come hack in halt an hour.— Ihe thief had taken the precaution to lock the door, and also lo stop the key hole, using a kill glove. He then made Mr. K. ret up. unlock his trunk, from which he takes from between 8103 and 8110; gold watch am! 1 chain; five dozen Congress pens, silver hoi- j ders ; three dozen Henry Clav pens, silver holders. He, hoyyever, missed tiie trunk ; containing the gold pencils and cases. He , emptied the contents of the opened trunk on j : the floor. Alter doing this he seized Mr. I N., hound his hands ami leet. and laid him t.n the bed, the poor man begging him all the while to lake every thing that he hail. ! hut spare his life. H iving bound him se cutely, he staried to leave, saving that he | would leave the door partially open, and send somebody to assist him.

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 sutierers.

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.
