Independence of the Farmer.- verybody in America. wants to be inde pendent. We have lawyers. physicians, mechanics, ministers and farmers ; all striv ing to obtain or secure independence land all feel sure in getting it. We glory in our political and religious, freedom ; all of us. Here, we small equal, from the Pres ident down•to.the pauper; if indeed, the docitfi hill Slopes in that direction, which, is a question. fairly debateable. But after all, there is no class among us so decidedly inde pedent as the farmer. • Look at the ministers! Does he dare give utterance to sentiments that he knows will be generally distasteful to his society ? Does - t he - lawyer -want-to-his-d isplease-his townsmen on whom he may depend for a living Or do the merchant and me chanic feel perfectly free, at the commence ment of their business, when the good will of the community may be considered as a ptirtion of their capital, to take decided po. isitioni on the unpopular side? There are ninny of these classes, to be sure, that feel ns independent as the farmer ; because, by success in business they do not feel the ne 'cessity of employing this windy capitalithe iteatti - of popular applause. So long as men 'see that their daily bread in good measure, depends on the esteem of their fellows, they must be desirous of securing it. The me chanic_ depends in part, and principally, on his skill ; and so of all profesgions. But they all depend also, in some degree, on the good will of others. The farmer also, relies on his skill; but the opinion of his neighbor is not worth a groat to him, so far as his ability to live is concerned. He plants his fields, and the good Lord, who "sends his rain on the just and the unjust,' makes no distinction. He waters the fields of the Whie, the Demo crat, the Abolitionist, the Infidel, and the pious man, alike. The wildest fanatic in the country, by suitable tillage, may raise as good a crop, as any one and sell it as well, But let him attempt to live by preaching, as a me chanic, how would he prosper ? He would certainly be driven from the pulpit, and most likely starved from his shop. Proles- Pional men must study social laws. The farmer depends on the laws of nature. The former are always changing ; the latter nev er. .Conseciently i the professional man is often in a dilemma and hardly knows what to.do, for fear he shall offend . the popular meteor broach an idea not in fashion.—The , fartrier,says just what, he plesses ; for it never Was, yet discovered that it killed his cattle or rotted his potatoes. And the far .trirr has more leisure thine] than most me chanics or professional men.' Or if ho has not it is his own fault. No farmer needs be n drudge. His flocks in the pasture and Lis crops in the field are growing while he sleeps. When the merchant or mechanic closes his shop, the income from hie busi ness is suspended. But the farmers in come is always increasing. He relies on nature, who labors for him continually, and nature's God who never slumbers. If a young man wants to engage in busi nesi that will insure him in middle age the greatest amount of leisure time, there is noth ing more sure than farming. If he has an independent turn of mind, let him be a far mer. If he wants to engage in a healthy occupation, let him' till the soil. In short, if he would be ihdeperdent, let him get a spot 'of earth ;,Icy • within his means, to shun the lawyer licleii-iperate to avoid the doctor ; be honest, that he may have a clear conscience improve th,:. soil so as to leave the world better than he found it fthen if he cannot live happily and die contented there is no hope for him. Marriage in Australia. It appears that the male and female con victs obtain certain privileges which wonder fully promote matrimony. A correspon dent writes to the Alta California from Van Dieman's Land : " The only care of the Government seems to be to get these peo ple off there hands as fast as posible and another method has been hit upon in find ing a ready market for thousands of convicts and thereby relieving the Exchequer of the expense of maintaining them, and I presume the man, that first devised it was made a bai onetby the British Government. It is neith er more nor less than encouraging, between the convicts and the free portion of the inhab itants, "matrimonial alliances." In these, young ladies affiance themselves.to old men and young men marry old women. I will explain. A female , convict, by becoming the spouse of a free man, is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a free wo man. As long as she keeps with her hus band the bonds of matrimony are the only bonds to which she is subject. The same with the male convict. By marrying a free women he becomes, by virtue of his office as "husband," as free as the Governor himself as long as he conducts himself to the satis faction of his better half. The consequence' of this clever stroke of polity isilutt marriages of this description are continually •coming. off with wonderful rapidity. Any old man .can get in this ac commodating country, as young a lady for his wife, as he pleases; that - is, if he is not overscrupulous to her past character which is never in Van Dieman's Lind, by-the-by, taken into consideration. He has many hundreds to chose from, not one of whom will • spurn his Offer. So anxious are they to es cape from Government. that I question weth cr one of them could be found who would refuse her hapd to Old Nick himself. And on the Other hand any Australian lady verg ing tipen fifty can be Supplied if she requires it, with as youthfulsa husband as her heart can deeire.

The Jersey Central Railroad whiCh ex tends from Elizabethtown-point to Easton, a distance of 68 miles, 40 miles further up the Lehigh river, it forms an important connec tion. From thence, a road 15 miles long, is contemplated to extend to Port Clinton or Auburn, through which the Reading Ral road puns, which will bring the Jersey Central road into immediately connection with the great coal field of Pennsylvania. Auburn is to be the point where the Read ing Railroad will be joined by the Dauphin and. Susquehanna Company's Railroad, which is a short road of only 30 miles, to be finished by contract, for running on the 4th -of-July-next,-four—months-hence+- which leads to Rausch's Gap, the centre, as well as principal mining station of the Dauphin Coal Company, which will thus obtain a dire& connection with Elizabethtown-point and New York, by a railroad line of 104 miles, whereas its present distance, via Philadelphia, is 231 miles; thus saving nearly 100 miles, When the Central Jersey Railroad is thus extended to Auburn, and the Dauphin Com pany's road is finished to the same. point, a line of railrbad travelw the -shortest and the most direct will be, opened up between New York and Harrisburgh, Pittsburg, and thence westward ; namely Elizabethtown to Auburn, by the Central Jersey road ; Au -I:lnrn to Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsyl vania by the Dauphin railroad, which is now finished and in running order from Rausch's Gap to Dauphin, thence by the great Penhsylvania Central Railroad to Pittsburg, whence commences the great Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, and a host Alf western railroad oonnections.—N. York Evening Post- Witchcraft in Pennsylvania. The Chambersburg Whig • of the 17th instant says a correspondent, writing from Fulton county, informs us of a singular case of supposed witchcraft that occured near Sideling JUL There is a certain religious sect in that neighborhood, calling themselves the Christian Church. A lady, one of the members, was taken sick and lay for some time, until she finally imagined herself be witched, and a sister in the Church was settled upon. as the witch. A meeting of the session was called in due season, at which the minister presided, and the charge of witchcraft was , formally preferred against the lady. BAng a new case, and we pre atmie, not provided - for in the disipline, the session was puzzled as to the proper man ner to proceed in the case. She was made to step over a broomstick, as it had been said that a witch could not do so ; but the accus ed got over it without apparent difficulty.— After a consultation it was then agreed that she should he tried in a pair of weigh-scales with a bible to balance her. and if she was a witch the bible would be too heavy for her. Accordingly she was taken to a mill and the experiment tried, but she proved too heavy for the bible. it was then inti mated that probably her clothiitg prevented a fair test, and half a bushel of corn was put on the scales with the bible, to balance the clothing; but still the lady was too heavy, and the charge was formally dismissed. From California in 18 Days. Additional telegraphic news from Califor nia, by 'the way of New Orleans, is pub lished this morning in another column. The sensation created in this city on Tuesday, in commercial circles, by the extraordinary arrival of the Steamer Albatross, with Cali fornia intelligence, in the short time of eigh teen days, was very great. The coinpany do not seem to be satisfied with the perfor mance in this number of days. They say the time must hereafter be gently reduced, and speak confident of reducing it. Let us. for ono moment, examine their calculations. Allowing eight days from San Francisco to Acapulco, it is confidently asserted that it only requires four days to cross Mexico to Vera Cruz—thence to New Orleans, three days are ample room and verge enough. This would make in all fifteen days. This is getting far down in the teens, which have just been entered by this trial trip. But they now go further and assert that the time from San Francisco down to Acapulco can be made direct in six days, and across Mexico in three days, and thence iri .three more to New Orleans ; and thus they will take Young Time out of and below her teens, by accomplishing the trip in twelve days. Such, now are their calculations, and we hope they may be realized. Had it not been for the breaking down of the Belize telegraph, which extends from the mouth of the Mississippi to New Orleans, the news would have been in town twelve hours sooner, which would have materially changed the style of the letters sent by*the steamer bound from this port for the Isthmus. The sudden change in the California mar kets would have produced a material change in the orders sent forward to San Francisco. We only advert to these facts to show the vast importance of early Intelligence from the metropolis of the Pacific.—N. Y. Times Marrying in Fun.

LINE, Clerk Commissioner's Office, Allentown, March 2. 1853. Making - Ice by Machinery. The Burlington. (N. Y.) papers are con gratulating themselves on their delivery from a reliance on the lakes and ponds of the North for their supply of ice. They state that Mr. Mitchell, of that place, has deviied an ingenious plan for the manufacture of artificial ice, but from the description, which, we give below, it appears it, will only an-, swer in cold weat,her. 1-le has prepared a building itt which to develope his plans more fully. lie ascer ained some time since, that by leadine a small stream.ntWater,down a piece of twine in ordinary Old`,.weather, ice would make more rapidlyi`,:riitcr he has arranged part of his large ice , .house in such' a manner as to make a large quantity of ice.—There are large openings at either end and in the roof, to admit of a free circulation of cold air.— Along the rafters are leaden water pipes, piered in small holes, so as to throw on a considerable quantity of water in minute streams or spray. At the level of the per pendicular portion of the building are rods. from which an innumerable number of small strings drop to the ground some twenty feet below. The small streams play up on these strings, and it there is any ordinary freezing weather the ice will form very rapidly. The greater the freezing surface is, the more rapidly will the ice make, and it may reasonable be expected that this building will be filled with. columns' of ice in a very short time. Production of Fish. The French Government is continuing to act on the admirable discovery of Gehin and Renny, fishermen of the Vosges, for artifici ally fecundating the eggs of fish. It has, imparticular, caused it to be practiced on a grand scale at Huninton ; and the fish pro duced by it there are, on arriving at a cer tain degree of maturity, to be sent into differ. ent rivers and canals. In the southern De partments; also the same system has been practiced with extraordinary success. It consists in collecting the spawn of the fe rhale fish, instead of allowing them to depo sit it in the beds of rivers and in applying it to the milt of mutes, instead of leaving the males to do it themselves. The eggs thus prepared are preserved until they become hatched. The consequence, is that many thousand fish are thus produced from each female's spawn, whereas only very few in deed are obtained when the fish are left to effect the fecundation themselves, owing to the eggs being devoured by other fish, wash ed away, orinjured by dirt. Rivers, streams, canals, flakes and ponds, can thus be made to teem with fish ; and a new branch of com merce is thereby created, while and abun dant supply of wholesome food is obtained. The expense of applying the system of Renny and Gehin is very trifling indeed.— These men have been recompensed by the Government for the great services they have been the means of rendering to the public. Their plan is applicable to all sorts of fish that spawq is rivers. LARGE YIELD OF Coatss.—We copy the following paragraph from the Baltimore Sun.
