Mu v I v atMaral^, /'VOCT //if jJmenean Agriculturalist. K Common Error in Drainage. The most of the draining jet attempted in this country is with open ditches, ar.d in swamps. Three cases have recently come un der our observation, in v.hi b the failure is traceable to a Common cause. Mr. A—— reclaimed a twimp of twelve acres. It WHS thickly covered with brush, aud bad made a very heavy turf of roots end moss, a root or tuore thick. A Jeep wide ditch was ran through the middle, wi'-h a few side ditch es ruDtiiug at right angles to the main ditch. There was no ditch put around the border to eat off the springs from the sidj hill. There was a good fall, and these ditches took off all the water from the poni and made the whole sw.uip ready for the plow, lu 1850 he had good crops, aud in 1857 still belter, some of the stoulest corn in town. In 1858, the corn * was not as good, even with the application of manure, ud in 1855 tbe corn crop is a decided failure. The Pud had set lied somewhat by -the decay of the roots nnd vegetable maUei in the soil, aud had become so compact th: t the water from the sides could roi rcadi'y escrpe iulo the ditches. Mr. li drained some four aorc-s with tile running from the edge of the swamp into a main open ditch in the middle. The tile were put four rods apart, and even with this imper fect drainage, the luud was very productive for four or five years, tearing good hoed crops, AND still better GJ'SS. Last year it WBS taken up a second time, and the corn was a failure, cawing to the ex ossivo moisture of the land.— Mo border ditch had been made to cut rSf springs from the upland. 3lr. C had s'liae ten acres of low wet land, underlaid by a bard pan ; the soil iu no placo in re than eighteen inches deep. A small brook r;j, before the American Geographical and Statistical Society, gives a rather discoura ging account of tLe progress of our national agriculture. In many staple products the quantity raised has shown a marked decrease in 1850 (the date of our last census, from which Mr. J .y has obtained most of the purely statistical porti ns cf his work) from that rais ed in preceding years. Until the census of 1850 there can be no means of obtaining fur ther statistics of the kind, and unless tlKrebas been a marked improvement during the last seven year*, the condition of our agriculture is not very promising. So far as concents the •wheat crop, the New York Post considers that, although it has not decreased in its tctual amount, ,t has not iitcrc-scd io proportion to the increase of population. Iti New Euglaod the culture is rapidly declining, while in the middle Statss it is nearly stationary, and our chief supplies now ctnie from the uortkwastern district. In New York, the crop iu 1840 was over twelve millions of bushels, while in 1850 it was but Dine millions—a decrease of twenty live per cent. With regard to the products of the entire country, without alluding to any particular State, we find that rye, oats, Irish and sweet potatoes, hay and tobacco, have steadily decreased. Hops have increased at the rate of five hundred per cent, owing to the enormous consumption of lager beer, iiice has increased at the rate of nearly three hun dred per cent. In 1840 the cotton produced arnouoted to eight hundred millions of pounds, in 1850 to nine hundred and eighty millions, in 1855 to one billion and eighty-eight "nil lions. Hut ihe great staple production of the United States, far surpassing in amouat even our famed wheat, cotton and tobacco—is In dian corn. Its cultivation has retrograded in no.State, and the crop uiay be roughly estima ted at four hundred millions of bushels in 1840 six hundred millions in 1850, over seven hun dred millions in 1855, and fully eight hundred millions in 1856.

FITCH & SYKJSS would state that their treat ment of consumption is based upon the fact, that the disease exists in the blood and system at large, both before and during its development in the lungs, and they therefore employ Mechanical, Hy gienic and Medicinal remedies to purify the blood and strengthen the system. With these the)- use MEDICAL INHALATIONS, which they value highly, but only as Palliatives, (having no enrative effect when used alone.) and invalids are earnestly cautioned agiiust wasting the preeious time of curability upon any treatment based upon the plausible, but false idea that the "seat of disease can be reached in a direct manner by Inhalation." . For as before stated, the seat of the disease Is in the blood and its effects on'y in the lungs. 02r"*No charge for consultation.

We do not recommend them as universal Cure-alls, but simply for what their name purports, viz.: THE V ERMIFUGE, For expelling Worms from the human system.

THE LIVER FILLS, For the cure of Li v t'R C OM vl AINTS, all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK HEAD-ACHE, &C. In cases of FEVER AND AGUE, preparatory to or after taking Qui nine, they almost invariably make a speedy and permanent cure. As specifics for the above men tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled, and never known to fail when ad ministered in accordance with the directions. Their unprecedented popularity has induced the proprietors, FLEMING BROTHERS, PITTSBURGH, PA. to dispose of their Drug business, in which they have been success fully engaged for the last Twenty Years, and they will now give their undivided time and attention to their manufacture. And being de termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills shall continue to occupy the high position they now hold among the great remedies of the day, they will continue to spare neither time nor expense in procuring the Best and Purest material, and com pound them in the most thorough manner.
