Hard Knocks.
One reason, says the C4rtisle Volunteer,
why the Know• Nothing members of the Leg
islature are in favor of removing the seat of
governtnent to Philadelphia, is t)ecause the
landlords of Harrisburg charge too much for
boarding, as the members think.—They don't
consider 7 —mean creatures that they are—that
provisions are enormously high, and ;fiat the
landlords cannot afford to hoard thr.m at the
same rates' they formerly did. The Harris

but possessing more independence than most of
the journals or that miserable faction, pitches

variety, the tables have the beitefst of a market
second only to Philadelphia. We have known
nienibers of the Legislature to form a club, and
offer landlords Ihrtevor four dollars a. week
each for board, when his prices according to
the rooms engaged, would run at five and six
dollars. They expect to be furnished o ith
lights, fire and servants, t o wa it their becks at
those prices. They guzzle all the liquor that

cards, smoke, and niake night hideous with
their revels ; jump into bed with their boots on,
and chambermaids, without reference to color,
are insulted with their instilling iMportunities.
This is a true and, very moderate picture of a,
"Model Legislature." No wonder our land
'lords- become petulent. Nor is this all ;
respectable women are frequently insulted
in the streets, by members and hangers on
around. the. Legislature, ,„tintil t has become

atmosphere.
01t must be admitted, we think, that the
House of Representatives now in session at
Harrisburg. is a little the.most unique and ex
braoidinary legislative body that ever met in
Pennsylvania. Its agility in passing New
County and Bank bills, wad astonishing, but
the people have got somewhat used to its per
formances in that line. It could do no more
in such matters to surprise any body. Its ac
tion on liquor bills has been progressively re
markable : 7 -First, the act against selling oil
Sunday, a highly proper and commendable
measure in its object—as to its machinery we
are not familiar enough with it to speak :
Second, its anti-license law, which is certainly
one of the worst-contrived and most unintelli
gible acts we have ever read, and which no
two men, lawyers or laymen, whom we have
ever spoken to, agree in the construction' of.

nowayer, with these two measures, of which
the first alone was prudent and only ought to
have been passed in the face of the popular
vote in October last, the House, it seems,
went one step further last week, 'and passed,
if not entirely, at least. as we are, informed, on
,second reading, an absolute Prohibitory Liquor
Law. Thus it has worked away and spent
the public time and money in cobbling up two
laws, which were totally unnecessary if it in
tended to pass the third, which supersedes and
supplies the place of the others entirely. If it
did nut intend to pass the third, no time should
have been wasted upon it. More miserable,

This method prevents any danger of the grain
becoming injured before sprouting by the
caustic, properties of the compost, and also
forms a nuelenS for the advaneino- growth of
the roots to be 'eqbally supplieewith nutri
ment.
But the proper depth to plow for corn, how
ever. is one of the main features upon which
much of the success of the crop depends. and
it should receive the -- ca - refut - attention of the
fanner. inasmuch as thorough cultivation
of the soil and the consequent facilities afforded
- the roots to permeate and eXpand_are greatly
promoted thereby. There are a goodly num
"ber who strenuously advocate shallow plowing
to no greater depth than three inches, and have
adhered to this practice, handed down from
past generations unto the present time : conse
quently they know nothing of the advantages
to be derived by plowing to a greater depth,
notwithstanding their assertions to the contra
ry, that no
. better crop could have been ob-
L tained undo-the circumstances by sinking the
plow deeper.
My experience and observation has inva
riably, tended to the conclusion that deep plwv
ing, say - to the depth of six inches or more. was
of great advantage in many respects, that oth
erwise would not have been derived.--When
the soil has been plowed to a good depth, the
future cultivation-of the corn becomes very
easy and requires but little exertion to keep
the ground mellow and free from grass or nox
ious weeds. On the contrary, by plowing shal
low, the roots of the grass are exposed to the
surface, and consequently soon begin to grow
very vigorous after the first warm rain. follow
ed by a genial sun. Then the "cultivator"
has to be brought into immediate requisition.
frequehtly before the plants are of a suitable
size to work among, to be followed up, at short
intervals throughout the season, to prevent the
grass overcoming all effort to exterminate it, un
til at last the plow must be resorted to, to finish
what in was only permitted to half perform at
first.
But aside from this benefit resulting from
deep plowing, there is another of greater im
portance that should induce all to profit by it,
when an unusually dry or wet season occurs.
The soil by being pulverised to a considerable
depth, enables the moisture •to rise to the sur
face in a dry season, while it facilitates the ab
sorption of the superabundant moisture in a
wet season. By this means an equality of
growth is obtained: independent of the season,
which is highly gratifying' to the farmer and
conduces to the final success of the crop to a
great extent. indeed the effects are so plain
to the observing fa'rmer that he can point out
the fields wherein the plow has been allowed to
perform its proper duty : and nothing More
than this should impress him with the necessi
ty of adopting the practice of deep plowing in
the future. The crisp and' curling blades of
the corn plant, growing in the shallow-plowed
field ina dry season. - hear a marked contrast to
the broad, healthful and vigorous appearance
of those in the neighboring field of deep cul
ture: die one is suffering, for the want of mois
ture, while the other is abundantly supplied by
the water which had been previously absorbed
by the soil, and now exuding to the surface by
the process of evaporation. In a word. the ad
vantages arising from deep plowing must be
realised in order to be fully appreciated : there
fore, we trust that those who have never de
viated trom shallow culture, will experiment
this season that they may see the great benefit
from a change of practice. E.

- :_Tragedy - at - New.Haven, Conn.
The telegraph has already .Turnighed a brier
aeconnt of - the shooting or Richard Wight, on
Sattitday afternoon, at New Raven. Conn., by
Willard Clark. a merchant. The New haven
Colder Ics tirli details oft he tragedy. ft states
that Clark called at the house of Charles Beers,
and borrowed a pi , tol and two balls•fmtn his
son, mi the- pretence that he wanted to kill a
cat. The Courier then adds ;
Ile shortly after proceeded- to the house of
Mr. John Bogart. the ,father-in-law of his vic
tim, as he had at times been accustomed to do
for several years past. lie went into the kitch
en, and found there Mr. - and Mrs. Richard
Wight, the son-in-law and daughter of Mr.
Bogart, who, seeming to be somewhat an
noyed by the presence of Clark,left the kitch
en and passed into the parlor. Clark followed
them. and advancing to the side of Jr. Wight,
presented a pistol to his head and discharged
it tvii.hin a few -inches oflus car.'
—A.I-01-&-timP - '
time the pistol was presentaTothe
head of Mr. Wight.' ne was in a half kneeling
posture, tying up a package. with one end •of
the parcel re-sting upon the Hoer. The ball
entered the head of Mr. W. directly back of
the right ear, and, passing through the brain.
lodged in the cranium, at the back Side of the
head. 11e fell upon the Hoer, giving a few-ter
rible groans, which .were distinctly heard by
persons passing. who immediately entered to
assist. Clark looked upon the Scene of blood'
for a moment, and then quietly walked out of
the house.
- The alarm being quickly spread. officer Dun
ning was dispatched in search of the murderer.
—ln the meantitne,Clark returned to the house
of Mr. Beers, where lie deliberately returned
the pistol to Mrs. 'Beers. Mr:. Beers asked
him it he had killed the cat, 'to which he re
plied : "Yes, I hove killed a lunple ,, ged cnt !"
A daughter of
.Mrs. B. very innocently said
',You don't mean, Mr. Clark, that you have
killed a man, do you ?" Clark laughed im
moderately, and replied: "You'll hear more
:Lbw t it to-morrow."
The officer then proceeded to the store of
Mr.' Clark. where he found him quietly engaged
in his usual occupation. He asked Clark what
be, had been doing, to which he replied ••1"
don't know." Ile then told him that he must
go along with him to jail, to which Clark re
plied, "Welt. I suppose I must." Clark took
a sum of money Bona his pocket, and coolly
hauled it to liis partner, and gave • him direc•
dons concerning the-disposition he must Make
of it, and gave orders in regard to the payment
of some debts, and then told officer Dunning he
was ready to go lie was then conveyed to jail.
• In reference to the murder. he sarcastically
replied that he did not know why he did it:_
tie said he borrowed a pistol to kill a cat.
On being asked if he had- the murder of Mr.
Wight in view when he borrowed the pistol,
he stammered for a moment, and then said that
he afterwaqs thought he - could make use of it
for that purpose: •De said that "strange
thoughts had occupied his mind for several
months past." ,
The whole cause Of this terrible tragedy
seems to he the jealousy Clark entertained for
Mr. Wight, who had married Miss Bogart
against the wishes of Clark. For several
years past Clark had-sought the hand of Miss
Bogart in marriage, and had been repulsed by
her, and finally she dismissed "him about a
-
year since.
,Hiss Bogart formed the aequaintance of Mr.
Wight, to whom she became attached, and on
the 12th day of last March they were united
in marriage. At- the time she married Mr.
Wight the lady was but 17 years of age: The
family are highly, spectable, and the sad news"
of such a. deliberate attempt to murder has
created a great excitement in this city: •
- On Sunday (yelling at nine o'clock- Mr.
Wight was still living. The -general opinion
is that the ball is still lodged in the brain.
P. S. —Mr. Wight died on Monday.

cloAtifuNn.--We copy, the -following from the
New, York Express, of Monday last:
"A wealthy gentleman named Bailee. froin
Nlaryland,- arrived here some two weeks ago
upon a• visit to his friends, and became the
guest of the Carlton House. He fell into the
habit of visiting the gambling establishments
of Broadway, and became at faro a 'desperate
better.' On some occasions the sharpers
would play the game in such a matinee as to
let the intended victim win four or five hun
dred dollars. When satisfied that their custo
mer waS fit to be plucked, operations com
menced in earnest. Ile even risked on 'one
turn' several hundred dollar 'chips,' amount
ing in the aggregate to some $3,000 or .?,,-1.000,
by the mere drawing of one card from a little
tin box in the hands of the 'dealer.' In this
way, the poor man persisted, until be was
fiteced, at last, of nearly every dollar he pos
sessed. We have been assured that his loss
will probably exceed one hundred thousand dol
lars—all in the space of a week or ten days.
"During the past. forty-eight hours Mr. B.
has been in a state of great excitement. He
became quite unconscious on Sunday, and.
made his way to the house of Cinderella Mar
shal,
in Leonard street, where he was cared
for. At 8 o'clock in the evening be was worse
—indeed crazy at intervals. A messenger
was despatched by the landlady for a doctor,
but before his arrival• Mr. Bailee attempted to
destroy himself by swallowing six ounces of
laudanum . from a bottle which he carried in
his coat pocket. The attendance of Dr. Clark,
Dr. Bradshaw, and Dr. Bacon• was forthwith
procured. The stomach pump was used free
ly, and every effort Was made to arouse him
—not unsuccessfully. Last evening Mr. B.
was lying very weak, but the physicians were
of the opinion that he would survive."
