M A COUNTRY HOUSE. In tlie Horticulturist, for April wo tind the I following plan and elevation ofa country house i designed, by Charles Duggin Architect, of New York city, and which Iras just been put up in New Jersey. The material used for the wall of the building erected, was concrete, with au c.\- MS'" “*■ " w\ ■ ff£- - flß' g ' f ' I In its ground plan it approaches somewhat 1 to the regular square form but the exterior is so designed that each side presents an appea ranee ' totally distinct from the others. In this design the height of the first Btory is eleven feet, of the second nine, while the outside walls of the attic rooms are four feet high, rising to eight feet six inches in the centre, a foot added to the height of the walls of both the first and second stories would add to their comfort and might be taken from the attic, the most important use of an up per story in this climate being to keep those be low' it cool and inhabitable. fmi ■ T—i-'rW-iTF ■ 1 * V.VMMW 1 * [j[ VMWft* | ■ J S I [J| \sax\vo I * L In the ground plan the entrance hall is eight by nineteen feet, to the left, is the parlor with a bay window in front, and a side window leading to the verandah. The dimensions of the rooms on this floor are shown in the plan. Back of the parlor is a large dining room with the side win dows opening upon a small covered balcony which relieves the otherwise plain exterior of this side of the building and makes a cool and pleasant sitting place. In the plan, the space back of the hall Is oc cupied with a pantry, dumb water, sink and closets all of which had better bo dispensed with in our climate thus extending the main hall through the house and admitting a free circula tion of air. On the right of the main hall is the library and sitting room, with a side hall be tween, leading to the side verandah and garden entrance. In this side hall is placed the stair case, leaving the main hall unobstructed. The arrangement of tho doors and windows in this story is such that whou desired a fine draught can be had across the house through the parlor, hall and library; also through the dining room and side hall, and if the pantry is removed with a slight change in the position of tho doors | THE DRY GOODS TRADE. THE same spirit which animates the initiation of the “ Southern Field and Firesides” namely—that the South should rely on self for all her wants, has animated the humble endeavors of the undersigned in their own sphere. We deem it just as necessary to the pride, hap piness and prosjwrity of the South, that her fair daughters should be supplied within the borders of their own State with everythin;.' that is elegant and durable, at a fair price, as it la for the South to have her own manufacturing in terests and literature. For tfiis purpose we have placed in the Northern markets a man ot acknowledged taste and mercantile experience, with unlimited means to im port and purchase at auction our supplies, affording us facilities (enjoyed by none in Georgia) which enables ns to otter advantages to those desirous of spending their money economically for good articles. All we desire and" court is a fair, critical examination of our Goods and prices, guaranteeing a saving of at least twenty-five per cent, from the old credit system. We therefore respect fully and cordially invite an examination of our stock and'prices.

Tlierest of space is, in the plan given, altogether too much cut up into small rooms and closets. It would be far plea santer if divided into four good rooms with a small dressing room between the front chambers opening into them and into the hall and which might be used occasionally, if needed? as a bed room. Certainly not more than two of the closets should be.retained, and if required, let ward robes be substituted thus giving a elianco for ventilation. The attic has four large rooms of the same size as those on the first floor between two of which over the bath room, is a room en closing the tank from which pipes lead to the baths. These rooms are large and well lighted and by providing proper ventilators above through the roof, leaving a space between the latter and tbeir ceiling, they will be found as comfortable sleeping rooms as ordinary seeond story rooms of full height if destitute of this pro vision. They will thu3 render the rooms below them always cool and pleasant. Here ample closets should be provided for various household purpose. With proper care not only the closets but the whole house can be so built as to give no harbor for rats and mice. The cost of this house with a suit of good •nsement rooms beneath for kitchen, servants, <fce„ as built in New Jersey of concrete was $6,250,00. Os wood without a basement the expense would be considerably less. We hope hearafter to offer other plans suited to those who desire less accommodation, or to build less I expensively than the one here given. GANGERS CAN BE CURED. DU.

Lee: You copied into your depart ment of the first number of the Southern Field and Fireside, an article from the Selma (Ala,) Sentinel, stating the prevalence in tliat section of bloody murrain. You ask if some gentleman in the district where the fatal malady exists will send you a description of its most prominent symptoms. Presuming that any information upon the subject will be acceptable, and pending tliat you may receive from the infected quarter, 1 send'you what knowledge I possess of the dis- • ease. I cannot give you of murrain from observation, for I never saw a case of it; but I make a synopsis of that given by those who have. In tlie July, August, and October numbers of the Albany (New York) Cultivator, of 1839, i there are several letters I'rom practical and ex -1 pcrienced farmers in various sections of the country, treating of the subject, describing the | disease, and suggesting preventives, but offering | no remedies. From Missouri, where the disease prevailed to a very great extent tliat year, Mr. A. 11. F. Payne writes to the Cultivator, and gives it as his opinion that there is no positive, unfailing cure for it; but that it may be occasionally cured. He describes it as a " most painful, dreadful disease;” the suffering animal passing blood through the urine and bowels, or bleeding inter nally But those that discharge suffer less titan those that bleed iutenwlly—both types, howev er, being equally fatal. He further states that the spring and fall are the times at which it pre vails most. The poorest or fattest are most lia ble to be attacked, though there are exceptions. That a fat cow or ox, or a poor one, to become very hungry, and then very full, is apt to take it; or a change of food from greeu to dry, or from dry to green, will often cause the disease. He gives no remedy, but recommends as a pre ventive, regular feeding where stock is kept ancle sed. Judge Jonathan "Warren, of Ashtabula coun ty, Ohio, a very intelligent gentleman and prac tical farmer, in a letter to the late Judge Buel, then editor of the Albany Cultivator, says: “The bloody murrain is occasioned by an extended and overflowing gall, affecting the liver, and causing the leeches or bloodsuckers therein, and the flow of blood outward or inward —and death follows.” He further states that thq disease prevails more in new countries than in old; and vastly more with cattle that run in the woods than those in enclosed pastures. And that old and young, fat and Pan, the work ox and the milk cow, all take it. But ho had none to die, which he afterwards examined, but had extended galls. Judge Warren gives no remedy; but says he has used the following prescription as a preven tive for eighteen or tweuty years, during which time ho had lost no cattle by murrain: “Wood ashes given in equal.quantities of salt at the usual time.'of salting the cattle." He also argues that the gall is some time in accumulating, and that necessarily it must re quire some time to diminish; and a few messes of salt and ashes a year should not bo depend ed upon, nor a cure expected when the liver is rotten. Mr. Leander Sackett, of Monroe county, Michi gan, in a letter to Judge Buel, gives it as his opinion that there is no remedy for this disease, when once taken, but gives the following as a preventive: “ Mako a trough, and put it where your cattle can have daily access to it, and mix equal por tions of slaked lime and salt, and keep it always there.” For thirty years he had followed this prescrip tion, and lost but one cow by this disease; pre viously he lost from one to sixteen annually. . I have never seen but two remedies suggested for the cure of murrain. The first was a boun tiful supply of tar, down „he throat. The sec ond, two doses of a pound of sugar each, mixed with Water. The latter is said to have cured the dis ease in its last stage. If, as Judge Warren remarked, the disease is occasioned by “an extended gall,” doubtless some remedy might be found efficacious. But an ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure, and nothing can be easier done, or cheap er, than the simple preventives here given. Itgjl state that for nearly twenty years I have acted upon the suggestion of salting plen tifully all my cattle, old and young; and I have never in that time lost a cow or ox from any disease. During the prevalence of the sore or black tongue, last summer, I had but one cow affected, and that but slightly. I washed her mouth with a strong decoction of tobacco, kept her a few days in a dry pasture, and she was well. There seems to be a great reluctance general ly on the part of planters to write for publica tion their experience in diseases of stock, or farming, but if they could be prevailed on to do so, doubtless much light would be thrown on this malady, and others. Very respectfully, yours, 11. Raiford. AVoodlawn, Jefferson co., June 6. We are much obliged by the favor of the above instructive letter; and it is to be hoped that the hint in reference to “ the great reluc tance on the part of planters to write for publi cation their experience in diseases of stock or farming,” will not be lost on our readers. This unwillingness to impart as well as receive in struction, is calculated to prevent all progress in southern agriculture. Planters and stock-grow ers must learn to teach one another, if they 'would add largely to the knowledge of each in dividual. Give the thousands of readers of the Southern Field the benefit of your experience, or of your agricultural library. It is both liber al and manly to teach as well as learn.

A weekly visitor to the-homes of Southern Planters and Farmers, it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any monthly journal of equal merit • In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of en terprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the phrt of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultiva tion. Too long the Southern people have been content to look to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricultural matters, and to Northern literary pajiers for mental rec reation. There is, however, a growing spirit of Inde pendence ami of self-reliance at the South. Our people arc awaking to the conviction that we have the elements of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific investigation, of the dwellers in our own Southern homes. The truth is gleaming upon us, that we have literary re sources of own worthy to be fostered—that among South ern writers should be divided some portion of that vast stream of Southern money that flows perpetually north ward to snstain Northern "literature. My aim is to establish a paper that will be a vehicle of information useful to Southern Planters and Farmers, and a repository of Southern thought. Imagination and taste, in the realms of Literature and Art; hnd to obtain for it such an extent of patronage and success, as will justify the most liberal compensation to all Its contributors. Able and experienced editors are engaged, and steps are in progress to secure contributions from the most pleasing Southern writers, of both sexes. Much latent talent will be brought to light, and furnish some agreeable surprises to Southern people. “Full many a gem, of purest ray serene,” will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen erous glow of pride in Southern genius. The Agricultural Editor Is Dr. Dasiel Lee, the dis tinguished Professor of Agriculture In the Uulverity of Georgia—editor for many years |*st of the Southern Cultivator, and a leading contributor to many Northern agricultural journals of the highest reputation. The Literary Editor is Mr. W. W.

It has been found that three feet in wet or swampy soil, four feet in clay, and six feet in sand, presents them, when disinterred, as fresh as when first laid down.
