There are already afloat, good looking I spurious Ten Dollar notes, purporting to be issued by the Bank of Danville. The vignette in the genuine note, is a scene in the Rolling Mill ; that of the spurious, is a spread eagle. They can easily be detected by this difference ; but people she old be on their guard. Asm her. We arc informed that SlOi counterfeits on.h Rt ,.r xLa 1 i are in circulation, so well executed that I they were received by the Cashier of the! Bank without suspicion.

The principal fea ture of the day was the Students' celebra tion on University Hill, which attracted a throng of ladies and gentlemen from at home and abroad, who crowded the lec ture room of the Academy building to its full capacity. The board walk was adorned by beautiful arches of evergreens, in which flowers were tastefully mingled.and the lee ture room and rostrum, in addition to sim ilar embellishments was ornamented by a small, full-lcng'h plaster statue of Wash ington ; large engravings representing the signing of the Declaration, &c. ; and a splendid fl.ig, the Star Spangled Banner, made expressly for this occasion, the flag staff bearing streamers with the motto Pielas et Liberlas.

Se-r.oic Professor Webster has sent in a full confession to the Gover nor and council, stating that he killed Dr. Park man by a violent blow on the side of his head wiih a piece of grape vine about two feet long and two inches thick, and that it was done in a sudden burst of passion while Dr. Parkrran was shaking his fist under his nose, and calling him a liar and scoundrel. He says he invited Dr. Park- man to an interview at the Medical College, to beg for a few days indulge nee till he could raise the money he owed him, but Dr. P. would not listen to him, but imme diately began to abuse him. He says, ' I never had the remotest idea injuring Dr. l'arkman until the moment the blow was struck ; Dr. P. was extremely severe and sharp, the most provoking of men, and I am irritable and passionate. A quick handed and brief violence of temper has been a besetting sin of my life. I was an only child, much indulged, and I never accquired the control over Jmy passions that I ought to have accquiicd early, and the consequence is all this." He asks, that his sentence may be com muted to imprisonment for life, but it is doubtful whether his request will be gran- ted. How impressive is the moral to be drawn from this terrible case.

The soil, as found by the pioneers, was for the most part poor, being robbed by yearly fires of that which would have made it rich. The farmer, therefore, was poorly paid for his toil. No manure of any kind was used, except the little made in the barn-yard. Some 40 years ago, clover nod piaster! were introduced, lhe effects of which were) an assistant putting cologne upon a custo surprising. Barren fields were at once' mer'8 hai, ,hrooirh . ouil ; ,he cork of clothed with verdure, and the air filled with the delicious fragrance from land laden with clover. As a consequence, crops of all kinds were greatly increased, and the cultivators were highly elated, supposing that they had at last struck upon the secret of farming. The course pursued, was, first to seed down with clover, then pasture two or three years, and fallow for wheat; next, corn, and lastly oats, seeding down again. Nobody dreamed that it was possible for the soil to become exhausted under this kind of treatment ; but alter 25 or 30 years, the farmers began to complain that their clever seed did not come up. The soil bei ng defective, was never once tho'i of as a probable cause. Unsuccessful ef forts were made year after year, until the truth was forced upon them that there was an ingredient lost from the soil, necessary to the growth 0f clover. As a 7esu!t of this state of things, our crops became light again, and our fields, instead of blooming; with clover, were brown wiihsorrel. Our Innd became poorer Instead 01 better, until we were forced to abandon the raUing of heat, except on newly cleared lands or those made rieh from the avails of the barn-yard. j Some six. or seven years ago, one i. i my neighbors, more enterprising than lhe rest, made an experiment with lime, upon j a small piece of land ns poor as could be, I he middle of large field.
