farmer's Department. Ornamental Grounds for Fanners. It is not so surprising, in this age of utility and economy, that comparatively attention has hitherto been paid to beautifying the sur foundings of country residences with shady lawns and avenues, or taste fully arranged gar dens of fruit, when we consider that " speed the plow" is practically, and perhaps necessari ly, the leading motto of a very large portion of the denizens of ruraldom. Yet it is appa rent—if you exclude the nmetenrs and subur ban residents about our large cities —that., ex cepting the standard apple orchard, and per chance an occasional grove of flourishing ma ples and oaks, reserved for the building site, through the forethought of the tasteful owner, the farmers of this country have too much neglected the refining and pleasing accessories to the homestead. The introduction of so many excellent va rieties of fruits, and the rapid increase of nur series in many of the States, as well as the prodigality of our American forests, of orna mental shade trees and shrubs, must eventual ly, it would seem, force this branch of rural art upon the attention of every lover of the country. Indeed, a growing interest has been uwakencd in this respect within a few past years, that certainly promises much for the future—at least with that portion of the land owners who can, or think they can, afford to let the trees grow. It should be the aim of the thrifty, before handed fanner, to render a country life plea sant and attractive by some associations be yond the merely useful. " Encourage the beautiful, the useful encourages itself," is a good maxim, and it is to be hoped many may be induced to act upon this advice, and make a beginning the present year, if not more than the adoption into their dooryards of a few handsome specimens of whitewood, white ash, rock elm, rock maple, or other native trees, from the nearest woodland. The work need not be done all at otice ; but a few seasons' perscverencc thereafter, as leisure or fancy may suggest, will accomplish it. Wc trust, as the ability of the rural popula tion improves, and their attention becomes more generally directed to the embellishment of their homes, they will proportionately grati fy those tastes which are not wanting, but on ly dormant from constant attention to the tnorc practical details of husbandry. A libe ral display of accomplishment in this charming department of rural affairs not only surely ex erts a genial, humanizing influence upon the inmates and upon neighbors, but often is an index that gives the first favorable impression to the eye of the passer-by, who pauses to ad mire a tidy farm-house, encircled and skirted with ample pleasure grounds, or half embow ered with interlacing trees and vines. A sufficient area might be enclosed about evi ry farmer's dwelling for the exhibition of a degree of practical taste in landscape garden ing, and for those who cannot afford to rear a their best lands purely for shade, there are plenty of good substitutes in the rar er fruits not usually grown in the orchard ; many of them ornamental and quite appro priate as lawn trees. We would prefer plant ing near our premises at first a good propor tion of trees that combine beauty of form and foliage with fruits for the family to get a taste of, or some of the improved varieties of nuts foi the children to gather and crack during the long winter evenings, instead of setting out forest trees exclusively, or 011 a large scale. Cherries, apricots, pears, quinces and grapes, as well as some of the finer kinds of sliellbarks, Madeira nuts, almonds aud chestnuts, are in keeping with the dooryard or park, and are planted less frequently than they deserve to be. Meantime, room could be found for a sprink ling of our native oak, elm, maple, pine, hem lock, Ac., from the woods, interspersed with an occasional group or arbor of the many ele gant species of both deciduous atul evergreen trees and shrubs cultivated in the nurseries.— The horse-chestnut, for a dense, deep shade— the mountain ash, conspicuous from its profu sion of bright scarlet berries—the larch, for a spire-like form, and its vix id, silky foliage, and tire weeping willow, without a peer, for pen dant gracefulness, and desirable from its long season of verdure, though not indigenous to our climate—are all of them striking for con trast, and should not be overlooked in locali ties w here they can lie readily procured. Many, doubtless, are discouraged or deter red from planting, either for the grove or or chard, through an impatience to enjoy the fruits of their labor ; for, unlike the majority of farm improvements, a lapse of time is re quired to bring them to well grown maturity ; yet in many cases trees of large size can be ee lcctcd, aud it should be borne in mind that a tree once well established is continually pro gressing, and that there is a beauty and a source of satisfaction in every stage of its af ter dovelopement to the real lover of nature. Grand liapiih, Mich., 1855. L. W. L. EARLY ASPAP-HlUS. — Those who have hot beds and forcing houses, and raise this article for the market, will not need our hints ; hut any one who has a good bed of this vegetable can anticipate the season two weeks without taking np the roots, nnd with very little extra trouble. As soon as the frost i out of the ground, we clean off the portion of the bed de signed for this use. It has been well manur ed in the previous fall and salted. We re move to a considerable depth the surface soil, so that the eyes of the stools may feel the heat quickly, we then put over the stools a large frame, twelve feet by six, aud cover with glass. The outside ot iht frame is protected with a bank of fresh horse manure, covered with seaweed or other refuse matter. Keep the glass close upon the frame until the pmple shoots begin to make their appear ance. Then give fredi air every clear day, until the shoots arc high enough for cutting. This is among the earliest and most delicious of vegetables, Every garden should have a good large bod of it, at least six square rods, for tin use of the family. If you arc not .al ready furnished, do not put off the prepara tion and stocking of a bed till another season. This vegetable is not only palatable and nu tritious, but is slightly medicinal in its influ ence upon the system. It is a good diuretic, nnd wiil save the doctor's biils.— American Agriculturist, March.

JAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that he has lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, which has jiroven to be one of the most 'important and wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract minerals from the human system. Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco vered the process of extracting minerals from the body, by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York, an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of ids art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered. He then applied the same means to others similarly af fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most sanguine expectations, for uot only did these Baths remove mineral poisons, hut cured many diseases, some of which were the result of minerals, and some were not. More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine rals accumulating in the system for years, taken iu the shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac. The following are some of the diseases cured by these baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's I'holic, Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, Neuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S. B. Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND TO-AXP FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHIXE, which is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto fore in use. With the aid of the llath and Machine, we have at command all the available medical efficiency of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine Is very great, iu introducing medicines into the system through the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular ly efficacious in all local diseases. 1 am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are unable by reason of disease to come to this place at mo derate prices. I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above Machines. JAMES HARRIS. T i watula, December 22, 18. DKIEI) APPLES—a few first rate ones, forfsaleat jllO FOXS'. GREAT REDUCTION I PRICES !
