Death of Stios Wright.
We announce with eN . treme sorrow the depise
of this distinguished iStatesman, at his residence in
St Lawrence Co. N. V.; on Friday the 27th ult. by
a stroke of appoplexy. Mr. Wright's deatii at this

moment is a eidiunity to the whole nation. He
would almost certainly have been the candidate o
the Democratic 14rty, at the nem election for Pre
sident,•atutas certainly would he hare been elec.
-ted. In every position he evinced talents of the
highest order, mid proved a tower olstrength to the
party, to which he belonged, and of which at this
ulas the Soul and centre.
He has;lon4.been identified with the history of
lily country . , and in all the various offices lice tilled,
was fully nual to the .dischar4e - fflf their duties,—:
,His death has caused a void which will not smut
be filled. Deeply' do we regret that the Flttipitr
state, the Nation and the Depaocrary have so
touch cause for deep heart-felt regret at this sudden

accounts of fanning operations are usually kept the
actual profit or lois, can hardly ever be determined
'with anything like accuracy.
Believing that any remarks which tend to show
how the great object of tanning can be best attain,
ed, will be read'with interest and advantage, we
submit the following synopsis of a discitssion on the
" Profits of, Farming," which took place at the
Agricultural meetings held at the State Hope in.
Boston, during the last winter. The reports of the
discussion, as published in several of the Bliiton
papers, were given in considerable detail; but we
have only attempted to preserve the substance.
Mr. Sheldon of Wilmington, Delewate, *aid that
though it 'wag( sometimes denied that there was no
business whieb gave a better grog Nine fiiiners
out every ten contrived Without any system to get
along ;and there was no other business that would
give a man a living with so little system as most
farmer's practiseil. It was true that men of capital
often failed but it was because they farmed to suit
their taste and fancy, and not for dollars and cents.
D.J. W. Lincolin, of Wor'eester did not agree with
' `ll:ifftheldon as to profits of fanning. He had sue
e ceded in bringing spa tamily of eight children on
the profits of half his. father'S farm. He -believed
Lint there u-as a , fair profit to be made by raising
eni at 75 cents a bushel, even ,if you paid .$l2 or
5 a month for labor. • He had got 80 bushels from
, ne acre, and could cultivate it for about 20 dollars An acre. 4'
Liedtenant Governor Reed, deprecated the' prac
tice orthe young men from the country, 'crowding
into the city. It was the disposition of the times—
and a very bad disposition it was—not only- to get
rich, buf to make haste to be rich. Fatming was
not the business to get ri.l by; bet if happiness
was the object, there was no busines so well /Ida
pted to promote this as farming. Taste could not
be much gratified • %r common farmers. They
must be contented With a good living profit.
Major B. Wheeler, of Larinington,had long thought
farming the pleasantest, and on the whole the
most profitable business that_is followed. He had
been fled a mechanic ;he then engaged. in trade;
was afterwards concerned in manufacturing; and
flaw he attends to farming. Many years ago he
purchased a farm in Farmingham, for shoot 810 7 -

of this event, the more unfortunate do we ragard it
for the cause r f peace, faint as our hopes were be
fore of the speedy termination of the war. Grave
censure will fall on official heads for the failure to
arrest Paredes.. and yet we do not permit ourselves
to doubt that the Secretary of War and the diploma
tic agents of the Government in Europe will be found
to have discharged their duty in the premises in
good lime. It is not necessary to prejudge the case
and designate more particularly those on whom
the weight of responsibility rests: public opinion
has already declared itself with fatal distinctness.
