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

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

Railroad Connection.
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

now finished and in running order from
Rausch's Gap to Dauphin, thence by the

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

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.

He has just returned from the City of
Philadelphia with the new spring style of
Hats and Cups of all kinds and varieties.
The people of this neighborhood, have
found it expensive to go to the great neigh
boring cities. Hereafter, to think them
selves in either of theta, will be very cheap.
They will merely have to call into the above
mentioned Hat store, observe the late im
provements, and hear of the uncommonly
low price, when at once, their imagination
will impress them with the belief that they
stand in one of the best and cheapest Hat
stores of New York or Philadelphia.
Call, see, examine, judge, inspeot, diodes,
price, and buy for yourselves.
