I tp Sowing Grass-Seed, This is a work that no farmer should neglect, and now, to-day, this very hour, is the lime lo lliink of it. There are thousands nf aces of woodland, thinly covered with trees, be made into tolerable pas ture by sowing seed in the ground while it is soft in ih|i-spring. There is scarcely an old pasture in'ail America that would not be ben efited materially by simply scattering grass seed uprm.tlie surface in the Spring. True, it would be decidedly belter to harrow it; and by the satnd operation we have seen.-mowing Uii'l increased in productiveness2s percent.. With every; crop of small grain the farmer should sow some kind of grass or clover-seed. There is no manure so cheap as grass, for the cost of seed is but a trifle. Quantity of Seed per Acre. —Of timo thy sen) we would advise half a bushel an acre on strong land. In England, a bushel f. sometimes sown. In this country, four quarts are considered by some quite sufficient. Dm recollect, il you sow grass you will grow grass. If you sow weeds yotivwil) only have weeds fur a crop. Which is most profitable? Timothy sown in March will make a better crop than if sown later. Wo have seen it tug enough to mow in September. It is bet ter lo lot it stand uncut. We have seen good timothy crops grown from seed sown upon the snow in February and March, over a wheat field. This is a very good plan where the sowing has been neglected in the Fall, or when the young plants have been hilled li v drouli.. Orchard Grass. —We advise a bushel in id a half of orchard grass seed per acre, mixed ni:h two quarts of clover seed. On strong Unit orchard grass grows so stout (hat ii makes rather coarse hay, but it is very t'.'iiil i‘ i-li iii'od in a machine, and produces a great cron For gVnzing it is valuable, been use it gives early and very nutrious past lurngf. I: endures severe drouths better mm Miirv uiber kinds. If the seed is sown alter itie ground has been freshly harrowed, it will be covered by the rain. The seed is 'erv lighi, requires great care to sow it even Kentucky Blue Gross. —The seed of this crissis light as orchard grass; in fact, it I'ioks and fi-eis a* if it were all chaff, but it prows without difficulty, and produces a crop that i-. mo pride of Kentucky, and a mine of wealth to her farmers. The “wood pastures” of that Slate ore the beauty-spots of America. Blue grass belongs exclusively to the rich cnicareous soil of the West. Before sowing tne seed upon woodland, the leaves should be carfullv ranee off, and no slock allowed to set toot iimn the land the first year. No prenaraunn tun raking is required before sow ing, pul tlie seed should be thrown upon the fresh cartr. from ten to fifteen pounds of dean seen per acre is the right quantity. This grass will do very valuable for Kansas settlers, for that must be a great grazing State, in the proportion. Clove' Sied is sown in the p/oportion of lour quarts to me acre perhaps more gener ally than in any other quantity ; but if u were doubled U would probably afford more profit to the farmer. And this we assume to be the fact nf a!' grass seeds, that not one half cnougn is usually sown. It is as true in re gam io Hie number of acres sown as to the ounn'i’v sown per mere. Farmers are 100 negligent of this most profitable of all crops ever grown in this country. Let them look to i. in nmr, for the lime to sow the seed this Spring is at hunt.. A Brilliant Whitewash that will Stand the Weather. Take half a bushel of unslacked Lime, j slack it with boiling water, covering it over j to Keep in tnc steam,) strain the liquor thro’, a line sieve or strainer, and add to n a peck ! of clean salt, previously well dissolved in | warm water, three pounds of ground rice, Ground to a thin paste, and stirred and boil ed no:, half a pound o r powdered Spanish whiling, and a pound of clean glue which has been previously dissolved by first soak ing it well and then hanging it over a slow fire in a small kettle in a large one filled with water Add five gallons of hot water to the wnoie mixture, stir it well and let it stand a few days, covered from dirt. It ■should he nut on quite hot ; for this purpose it can be kept in a Kelt to on a portable fur nace. It is said that about one pint of this mixture will cover a square yard on the out side ol a house if properly applied. It re tains its brilliancy for many years. There is notions of the kind that will compare with it either for outside or inside. Coloring mat ter may he put in and made of any shade you like. Spanish brown stirred in will make a red or a pmK more or less according to quality. A delicate tinge of this is very pretty for inside walls. Finely pulverized common clay well mixed up with Spanish brown before it is stirred into the mixture makes a lilac Color. Lamp-black and Span ish brown mixed together produce a reddish stone cotot. Lamp-black in moderate quan tities makes a slate color, very suitable for the outside of buildings. Poll Evil. —For the good of those who have or mav hereafter have horses that have poll evil or fistula, 1 would say, don't sell the animal lor a trifle or give him away: but cure him sound and well. I care noi how long it has been running, it can be cured with one dime ; yes, one dime's worth of muriatic acid will cure the worst case of old poll evii. First wash the sore well with strong soap-suds, then drop eight or ten drops of tue acid in it twice a day, until it has the appearance of a fresh wound ; afler which it should be washed clean with suds, made from Castile soap and left to heal, which it will quickly do if the acid has been used long enough; and if it does not gef well apply the acid again until it does cure, for it is a sure remedy, and will not fail if it is applied until the disease is all burnt out.

Fremont’s po- to the Kansasqueation, that jespect fof bis char- chenshod by all who are fa miliar with the story of his life: New York, March 17,11356, > 176 Second Avenue. £ My Dear Sir: —Your teller of February reached me in Washington some linpc since. I read it with much satisfaction, h was n great pleasure to find'you retained so lively a recollection of our intercourse in Califor nia. But my own experience is that per mahetftptind valuable friendships are most often formed in contests and struggles. If a man has good points, then they become sali ent, and we Itnotr each other suddenly. I had both been thinking and speaking of you latterly. The Bank’s bullotting in the House, and your movements in Kansas, had naturally carried my mind back to our hun dred and forty odd ballots in California, and your letter came seasonably and filly to com plete the connection. We were defeated then ; but that contest was only an incident in a great struggle, and the victory was de ferred, not lost. You have carried to anoth er field the same principle, with courage and ability to maintain it ; and I make you my sincere congratulations on your success— incomplete so far, but destined in. the end to triumph absolutely. 1 had been waiting .to see what shape the Kansas question would take in Congress, that I might be enabled to give you Some views in relation to the proba ble result. Nothing yet has been accom plished. But lam satisfied that in the end Congress will take efficient measures to lay before the American people the exact truths concerning your affairs. Neither you nor I can have any doubt what verdict the people will pronounce upon a truthful exposition.— It is to be feared, from the proclamation of the President, that he intends to recognize the usurpation in Kansas as the legitimate government, and that its sedition law, the lest oath, and the means to be taken to expel its people as aliens, will all, directly or indi rectly, be supported by the army of the Uni ted States. Your position will undoubtedly be difficult ; but you know I have great con fidence in your firmness and prudence.— When the critical moment arrives, you must act Tor yourselves—no man can give you counsel. A true man will olwnys find his best counsel in that inspiration which a good cause never fails to give him at the instant of trial. All history tenches us that great re sults are ruled by a wise Providence, and we are but units in the great plan. Your ac ■ lions will be dc'ermmeo by events as they | present themselves ; and at this distance 1 icon only sny that I sympathise cordially | with you, and that, ns you stood by mefirm- I ly and generously, when we were defeated | by the nulbfiers in California, I have every disposition to S'and by you in the same way in your battle with them in Kansas. You see that what 1 have been saying is ! more a reply to the suggestions which your j condition makes to me, ih-in any answer to j your letter—which more particularly regards myself. The notices which you had seen of 1 me, in connection with the Presidency, came j from the partial disposition of friends, who 1 think of me more flatteringly than 1 do my , self, and do not therefore call for any action ! from us. Repeating that lam really and sincerely gratified in the renewal of our friendship, or rather in the expression of it, which I hope will not hereafter have so long an intervil. I am yours, very truly, ' ’ J. C: FREMONT. I Gov.Ciias. Lawrence, Kins as. BUSINESS DIBECTOIIY. _ Hydropathic Physician and Surgton. ELKLAUD, TIOGA COUNTY, PA. [June 14. 1855.] W. W. WEBB, M.
