/arm, Sanffn&Mflitfrftolil. From the New York Tribune. WBAT r KNOW OP FARMING. CT HORACE OREELEV. 111.—Where to farm. When my father was o*er sixty years old. and bad lived some twenty years in Erie county, Pennsylvania, he said to me: "I have several times removed, and always towards the Wesi: I shall never remove again; but, were I to do so, it would be toward the East. Experience has taught me that the advanta ges of every section are counterbalanced by disadvantages, and tbat, where any crop is easily produced: there it sells low, and sometimes cannot be sold at all. I shall live and die right here; but, were 1 to remove again, it would not be toward th? \\ est.' This is but one side of a truth, and I give it for whatever it may be worth. Had my father jdur.ged into the primitive forest in bis twenty fif'b rather than his forty-fifth year, he would doubtless have become more recon ciled to pioneer life than be ever did. I would advise no one over forty years of age to undertake, with scanty means, to dig a farm out of the dense forest, where great trees must be cut down and cut op, rolled in to log-heaps and burned to ashes where they grew. Wheie half the timber can be Bold for enough to pay the cost of cutting, the case is different; but I kr.ow right well tbat dig ging a farm out of the high woods is, to any but a man of wea!'\ a slow, hard task, tak ing one out of naked prairie, five to ten mites from timber, is less difficult, but not much. He who can locate where he has good timber on one side and rich prairie on the other is fortunate, and may hope, ii his health be spared, to surround himself with every need ed comfort within ten years. Still, the pion eer's life is a rugged one, especially for wo men and children; and I should advise any man who is worth $2,000 and has a family, to buy out an "improvment" (which, in most cases, badly needs improving) on tbe outskirts of civilization, rather than plunge into the pathless forest or push out upon the unbro ken prairie. I rejoice that our Public Lands are free to actual settlers: I believe that ma uv are thereby enabled to make for them selves homes whoothcrwise would have noth ing to leave their children: yet I much prefer a location within tbe boundaries of civiliza tion to one clearly beyond them. There is a c!a-s of drinking, hunting, frolicking, rarely working, frontierarneu, who seem to have been created on purpose to erect log cabins and break paths in advance of a different class of settlers, who regularly come in to buy them out and start them along after a few years. I should here prefer to follow rather than lead. If Co operation shail ever be suc cessfully applied to the settlement of wild lauds, 1 trust it may be otherwise. He who has a farm already, and is content with it, has no reason to ask, "Whither shall I go?" and be may rest assured that thorough ly good farming will pay as well in New Eng land as in Kansas or in Minnesota. I advise no man who has a good farm anywhere, and is able to keep it, to sell and migrate. 1 know men who make money by growing food within twenty miles of this City quite as fast as they could in tbe West. If you have mo ney to buy and work it. and know how to make the most of it, I believe you may find land really as cheap, all things considered, in Vermout as in Wisconsin or Arkansas. And yet I believe in migration—believe that there are thousands in the Eastern and Middle States who would improve their cir cura-tances and prospects by migrating to the cheaper lands and broader opportunities of tbe West and South. For, in tbe first place, most men are by migration rendered more energetic and aspiriug: thrown among strang ers they feel the necessity of exertion as tbey never felt it before. Needing almost every thing, and obliged to rely wholly on them selves, they work in their new homes as they never did in their old; and the consequences ire soon visible all round them. "A stern chase is a long chase.'' say the sailors; and he who buys r> farm mainly on credit, intending to pay for :t out of its pro ceeds, finds interest, tnxes, sickness, bad seaaon*t hail, frosi, drouth, tornadoes, floods. Ac., Ac., deranging his calculations and im peding his progress, until he is ofien impelled to give up in despair. There are n,en who can surmount every obs' tele and defy dis couragement—these need no advice; but there are thousands win having little means and large families. ,n grow into a good farm more easily a.a far more surely than thev can pay for it; and ihe.-e may wisely seek homes where population is yet scarce and land is consequently cheap. Doubtless, some mi grate who might better have forborne; yet tbe instinct which draws onrrace toward sun set is nevertheless a true one. The East will not be depopulated; but the West will grow more rapidly in the course of the next twenty years than ever in th*. past. The Railroads which have brought Kansas and Minnesota within three days and California within a week of us, have rendered th s inevitable. But the South also invites immigration as she never did till now. Her lands are still very cheap; she is belter timbered, in the average, than the West; her climate invites; her unopened mines and unused water power call loudly for enterprise. labor and skill. It is absurd to insist that her soil is exhausted when not one-third of it has ever yet been plowed I do not advise solitary migration to tbo South, because she needs schools, roads, bridges, milis, Ac., Ac., which the soiitaiy immigrant can neither provide nor we.: do without: and I have no assurance that he. if obliged to work out for present bread, would hod those ready to employ and willing pay him; but let a hundred Northern far mers and mechanics worth SI,OOO to $3,000 each combine to select (through chosen agents : ami buy ten or twenty thousand acres ru some Southern State, embracing bill and vale, timber, and tillage, water-power and mineral-, and divide it equitably among them selves, after laying it out with roads, a park, a village-plat, sites for churches, schools. Ac., end 1 am confident that they can thus make pleasant homes more cheaply and speedily there than almost anywhere else. Good farming land, improved or unim proved, is this day cheaper in the United States, ail things considered, than in any other Country—cheaper than it can long re main. So many are intent on shoit cuts to riches tbat the soil is generally neglected, and may be bought amazingly cheap in parts Of Connecticut as well as in lowa or Nebras ka. When I was last in Illinois, I rode for some hours beside a gray-coated farmer of some sixty years, who told me tais : "I came here thirty y ears ago, and took up, at per acre, a good tract of laud, mainly in timber. I am now selling off the timber at SIOO per ••ere, reserving the land." That seems to ® c a B<*)d operation—not so quick as a corner so tbe stock-market, but far safer. And, wile would advise no man to incur debt, I say most earnestly to all who bare means. Rook out the place where you would prefer *e ad die; take time lo suit yourself thoroughly: choose it with reference to your means, your calling, e X(MeUtloni| aiiJ = e-i.u, ,y for n.

The Dutch kill the fisb by making a longitudinal incision under the tail, and tbe operation, which ia perform ed with very sharp iustrument, can be done so quickly that it is practiced even in tbe largest fisheries, not excepting those for her ring. It is tbe custom in Holland to kilt the fish as soon as he is drawn from the water, while we let him lie in an agony which pro duces the effect of a sickness on the animal economy, softens the flesh, and gives it the principle of dissolution. pfmmoMU*.

VANITY Fair says the three ages of a Sen- j ator are Mile age, Post-age, and Patron-age. 1 POLITICIANS say that it is perfectly natural that those who compose the "ring" should fight for the prize. Ax English bishop said, "If the devil should lose his tail, he could get another where bad spirits are retailed." HOOD said, "It I were punished for every j pun I shed, I should not have a puny shed in i which to hide my punished head." RAILWAYS . are aristocrats. Tbey teach evety man to know bis own station, and to stop there. "WHEUE are you going to?" asked one lit tle boy of another. who had slipped and fall- \ en down. "Going to get up," was the blunt reply. IKE'S last trick was to throw Mr 3. Parting- j ton's kid gaiter into the alley, and call the j old lady down from the third floor to see an alley-gaiter. "MEIN II ERR, do you know what for we call our boy Hans?" "I do not, really." "Well, I tell you. Der reason that we call oor boy is—it is iah Dame."

A HAT manufacturer at Noristown claims for himself the title of "Universal Sympa thizer," because, he says, he has felt for every one. "'GRIFFITH GACNT" is being played at Salt- Lake City. He marries fifteen innkeepers' daughters, and the curtain drops on their joint felicity. THE Young Man who sang "I'm lonely since my mother died," isn't quite so lonely new. His father has married again, and his stepmother makes it lively enough. Ax Englishman paying an Irish shoeblack with rudeness, the "dirty urchin" said: "My honey, all tbe polish yon have is upon your boots, and I guv you that." A young lady being charged by a gentle mar with having trifled with hisfeeliDgs, very funnily, as she thought, exclaimed: "Well. I plead jilty."

A native of Providence complained to an attorney at Paris that be had been cheated by a monk. "What, sir," said Sauteuil, who was present, "a roan of your years not to know the monks? There are four things in the world you should always guard against —the face of a woman, the hind part of a j m il.;, the side of a cart, and a monk on all s Jes." ERSKINE held the Great Seal for the brief ; space of fourteen months, and though the !o-s of office was a serious blow both to his ambition and his purse he could afterwards afiord to juke about it. At a dinner party j Captain Parry was asked what he and his crew lived upon during tbe Arctic winter. "We lived chiefly on seals."

This Pnmp has been awarded tbo PIRST PRE MIUM at the New York, Ohio, and Pennsylva nia State Fairs. This Pump never freezes, from tb* fact that the moment you stop pumping, the water gradually drops back to a Jevel with the water in the well; ronseqaentty yon always get PURE COLD WATER. It will force water any distance through pipe, and in case of FIRE, is valuable, as water may be thrown to the distance of from fifty to sixty feot from its month, by attaching 3 or four feet of small bnse. It is DOUBLE ACTING, and can be worked with case. It is just the thing to wash wagons, buggies, and water gar dens, Ac., ana every farmer and mechanic sboald have one of these pumps. As for Health, this Pump has been pronounced by our leading Phy sicians as being one of the very best pumps now in use. It is generally known that wooden pumps bold the water in the stalk, and of course it tastes more or less of the wood. This Pump leaves all the water drop back just as soon as you stop pumping, to the level of the water in the well. So you get PURE COLD WATER from the bot torn of the well every time you draw a bucket full. 1 here are about 32 of these pumps now in use in this county, for one and two years, and they have ALL given perfect satisfaction. Not one of these has frozen since they have been put in. For reference I can give some of the verv best men in our town and county. Call and see this pump work before purchasing any o'her.

The reputation thin excellent medicine enjoys, is derived from its cures, many of which are truly marvcUoitß. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis ease, where the system seemed saturated with cor ruption, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were aggravated bv the scrofulous contamination nntil they were painfully afflicting,have been radically cured in such great numbers in almost every sec tion of tbe country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one ot the most destruc tive enemies of our race. Often, this nnseen and unfclt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution, and invites tbe attack of enfeebling cr fatal diseases, without exciting a suspic on of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection through tbe body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its bidcous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or fool ulcerations on some part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this SARSAPARILLA is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following compta nts generally find immediate relief, and. ot length, cure, by the use of thia SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthony* Fire, Rote or Eryipeta*. Tetter, Salt Rheum, Seal J Head, Rin<jtcorm, Sore Eye*, Sort Ear*, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fit*. Epilepsy, Xeuralgia, and the various Ctcerou* affections of the muscular and nervous systems. Syphili* or Venereal and Mercurial Disease* are cured by it, though a long time is tequired for subduing these obstinate maladies by any med icine- But luug Continued use of this medicine will cure thecoui|>luint. Leucorrhiea or Whites, Pterin! Ulceration*, and Female Disease*, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured hy its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Di rections tor each ca<e are found in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in tho blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liccr Complaint*. Torpidity, Congestion or Injlamma ftou ot tbe Liter, and ./anndice, when arising as they often do, from tbe rankling poisons ID the blood. This SA RSA PA RIL LA is a great resto rer fur the strength and vigor ol tht system. Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and troutded with Nervous Apprehen sions or Fears, or any or tbe affections symptom atic of Weak, ess, will find immediate relief and convincing evidence of its restorative power soon trial.
