L.EWISBURG CHRONICLE AND WEST BRANCH FARMER The Farmer. Work to b done in Harcb. Tbi should be a busy month tothe far mer. Manurei if not already carted out where likely to be wauled, should be atten ded to. Place your manure in convenient shaped heaps, at proper distances apart, and cover the tops of the heaps slightly with charcoal dust, pulverenl muck or peat, or a slight coating of plaster of parts. Either of these will prevent, in part at least, the ammonia escaping with the Crst wsrm day. Prepare ground as early as possible, and spread no more manure at the time than can be plowed in within a few hours. If you can not obtain any of the above named articles to cover the ma nure heaps until required for use, throw a few shovels full of soil over each heap. General Farm Work. If fences are not in good order see them attended to. Cut, pile and prepare fuel for summer ; repair buildings; whitewash stables ; clean out old litter and sprinkle with plaster, having everything removed to the com post heap that can make foul air during warm spring days, and thus preserve the health of both men and animals ; clean and whitewash poultry houses, clean hog pens.&c. Look to your tools of all kinds, if not already done, and see that they are in good order. Repair harness, &c. Look well to your stock. If they are not prop erly cared for at this season or the year, they can not be expected to do the heavy spring work. If you have pursued the barbarous custom of leaving manures ex posed all winter in cow-yards, without protection from the atmosphere, cart it out immediately, as directed in the beginning of this article, and thus stop the greater wastes arising from warmer weather. If you have any manure more than will be wanted for spring use, make it into com post with muck, peat, pond mud, or even headlands, rather than lose the more val liable parts of its constituents by leaving it unprotected. If you can, put it under cover ; and if you have no manure sheds, cover the heaps with any of the absorbents of ammonia before named. An occasional snrinklinz on its suifdce, of water, in which one one thousandth of its weight of aulohuric acid has been mixed, will be serviceable by changing the carbonate of ammonia to the sulphate, and thus pre vented its evaporation, and consequent loss. AH that we have noted above should have been done in February and early March but as we know that they are of ten neglected, we name them thus late. Meadows and old fjeW- " If you have any meadows or old fields that are sward bound, or which bote but indifferent crops of hay last season, give them a thorough harrowing as soon as the frost is out of the surface, while the ground is soft, then sow to each acre four quarts of timo thy seed, ten pounds of clover seed, one bushel of plaster of paris, five bushels of wood S3bes, and five bushels of newly slaked lime, all well mixed, and finish off by rolling." American Agricultvrist. If after the above, you will sprinkle the surface with 100 lbs. of nitrate of soda, (cubic petre) in solution, much benefit will ensue. Fields occupied by winter grain, if par tially winter killed, should be harrowed, the bare spots sowed with spring grain or clover, and suitable top-dressings, and then the whole rolled. Any roots disturbed by the harrow will be partially restored by the roller to the soil, and the abration will cause such roots to tiller (throw out new shoots from the first joint,) and thus give full crops. Working Farmer. To Fanners. Dr. R. T. Baldwin has recently made public the result of several years investiga tions and experiments upon manures, and the various ways of fertilizing the soil. He states that the best and speediest way to fertilize any soil, is to cover it over with straw, bushes, or any raw material, so as to completely shade it. The surface of the earth thus being made cool, dark, damp, and close, soon undergoes a chemical pro cess like putrefaction, and becomes highly fertilized. This plan of fertilizing,!"! says, may be applied with success to any soil whatever, no matter how poor, and the re suit will be astonishing. Oneida Herald. The above is the kind of article which has caused a strong prejudice against im provements in agriculture. The process of mulching (covering the surface of the earth with brush, straw, or any other sub stance,) has long been known to farmers, but they know, also, that the benefit re. suiting does not arise from the causes named above, but simply by preventing water received in the fall and winter from freezing in the uoper surface of the soil, without entering it to any considerable depth, and thus rendering the surface glassy and impervious to ammonia and carbonic acid, so plenty in our atmosphere. A board placed on grass in the fall, and removed in the early spring, will cause tt,. .ro.ih to he mote luxuriant immedi ately under where it covered, and simply from the eausss we have named, but not from M undergoing a chemical process like putrefaction." Many farmers spread long manures oa pasture lends in the fall, leav ing it exposed all winter, and mistake the improved condition of tbe soil to hare arisen from tbe manure sinking into the soil. The benefit so received is but slight, i most of tbe aro maniacal or T Jatile, and by far the more valuable portions, escape into the atmosphere, while the short straw and other un decomposed substances act as a mulch to the surface and thus benefit the land, though not to the extent indicated by the above injudicious article. Mulching, by covering the surface of soil with salt hay and other cheap and nearly worthless grasses, is much pursued by market ger deners, which adds slightly to its fertility, while it renders the soil earlier for spring use. Ibid. Gleaning tbe Bark of Fruit Trees. This is the time for applying a strong solution of soda in water, to the trunk and branches of fruit trees, dec, by which the extraneous scurf, lungi, etc., will be decomposed before the tree commences to enlarge by spring growth. The dried portions of old bark, will be thrown off du ring the growing, while insects in their in cipient state will be destroyed. An ani mal with a dirty skin can not part with of fensive gases by insensible perspiration and therefore sickens, nor is this less true of a fruit tree. Old rigid bark prevents proper organism as the tree becomes un healthy and deformed ; but if the bark be softened by a sturated solution of soda even a misshapened tree will resume the rotund form and regain its vigor. Peach plum, and cherry trees seldom exude gum when thus treated ; the soda prevents the depradaiion of insect.", or the formation of new fungi during the wet and early spring. Gooseberries and other bushes are improved by similar treatment. Apple trees, which have been neglected, should now be manured ; the ash of the bark and leaves of the apple tree contains 15 per cent, of lime, and therefore in old orchards it should be applied freely. Where the soil is short of organic matter, the lime should be added, alter the addition of muck or other organic substance, but if this was neglected in the full, it should be recollected, also, that the apple can not mature unless the soil is fairly supplied with phosphoric acid, potash, soda, sul phuric acid and chlorine, and all these, with organic matter, is most easily sup plied thus : Dissolve bone dust in sulphuric acid, decompose common salt with lime, form ing chlorideof lime and soda ; throw these upon muck, swamp mud, or any other or ganic matter, and you have all the constit uents of the fruit which are likely to be missing fiom the soil, ready to afford a supply. With such treatment, apple trees will pay a profit, and without it, they can only pay in soils of more than ordinary excellence. Ibid. Sharp Frosts In Valleys. Lawrence Young, Chairman of the State Fruit Committee (or Kentucky to the Pomological Congress, states the fol lowing fact in illustration of the advanta ges of planting lender fruit trees on eleva ted ground instead of in valleys. Lieul. Maury placed a thermometer on a high portion of his orchard grounds,and another at the bottom, 35 feet lower. At 1 A. M., he found the thermometer at the bottom at 28, and being surprised to see that on the hill at 33, chartged their positions, but was soon convinced that there was a diffe rence in temperature between the two points of five degrees. Granite Farmer. NEWS. The Arctic arrived at New York 23d inst. The ministerial crisis in London had passed away. In the House of Commons, on the 4th of March, Lord John Russell announced that in conformity with the ad vice of the Duke of Wellington, her Majes ty had determined to recall her former ad visers ; and, therefore, that, having resu med the direction of public affairs, the min istry would remain the same as before its resignation. Two hundred and sixty-two Hungarian Refugees had arrived at Liverpool from Constantinople. A general amnesty, excepting Kossuth and Bathutny, has been granted by the Austrian Goverumeut to the Hungarian re fugees residing in Turkey, at Kutayeh. InLombardy the Austrian army.amoun ting to 20.000 men, is congregating on the frontier of Piedmont. It is said that the intentions of Austria are to force Piedmont to withdraw any support from the political refugees, and prevent Mazzini from obtain ing access within the limits of the kingdom. FROM CALIFORNIA. The Ohio arrived at New York on Sat urday morning. She brings the Califor nia mail, 150 passengers, and over 300, 000 in gold dust. The Indians continue troublesome, and have killed several whites. There are false alarms also, and uncertain rumors. The 17;h of February was fixed by the Legislature as the day for the election of a U. S. Senator. The Legislature has passed the bill ma king Vallejo the future seat of Government; and General Vallejo's bonds for the ful filment of his contract with the State have been received by both Houses of the Leg islature. Tbe General has already made a contract with an architect of Sacramento City, Mr. A. P- Petit, for constructing the Slate House ; and it is probable tbe eSGeWSSH building will be ready for use by the 1st of January next. The rush to the mines exceeds all pre vious immigration. Recent discoveries on tbe Klamath, Scott, Trinity, and other rivers, promise a rich and abundant re ward to the industrious miner, and in con sequence, trade in all kinds of implements used by the miners is very brisk and active the like probably never before known, and there is great difficulty in procuring an adequate supply of shovels, even at present prices of $70 per dozen for "Ames' best cast steel short handled shovels, round points ; long handled do, at 25 to $30 per dosen. On Pitch (or Pitt) River, the principal affluent of the Sacramento, which flows through a charming valley, and about live days journey from Goose Lake, there is a hill of pure Carbonate of Magnesia, 100 feet high. The Chesapeake returned from Gold Bluff on Saturday, and from the number of passengers who returned in her, the public will get the impression that the for tune for all, which was supposed to be in that particular locality for tbe mere pick ing up, is not of as golden a nature as was anticipated. From one of the passengers of the Ches apeake, we learn that the bank in the vi cinity of the Bluff, and for several miles north and south of it, contains large quan tities-of black sand, in all of which may be found what is termed " scale gold," but in particles so fine as to prevent its being separated from the sand by the or dinary process of washing, and that min ing can only be made profitable by the la bor of well organized companies, aided by such machinery or apparatus as will en able them to assay or precipitate by acids. Newspaper Records. We are glad to see that Mr. Packer has acted on our suggestion.and has introduced into the Legislature a bill requiring the County Commissioners of every county in the Slate to subscribe for a copy of each newspaper published in the county, not ex ceeding four, by the year, and without re ference to their party politics, and to keep a file of the same, and have them bound every year, l ne commissioners are also authorized and required to purchase from time to time, not exceeding four kinds, as aforesaid, files of newspapers published ithin the county, during any period of our coloniul and national history. Bequests. James Porter, Esq., for a long period of lime a resident of the Borough of Northumberland, in this State, died suddenly at St. Johns, on the 25th of February. The news of his death was communicated to his friends by the Amer ican Consul at that place, and since the melancholy intelligence has been received, Mr. Porter's will, which was in the hands of Joseph M. Hair, Esq., of Northumber land was opened, and tne following be quests were found lo be made : To the first Presbyterian Church (New School) of Northumberland, $11,000 in bank stock ; to the Sabbath School connected with said Church, $1000 ; to the Home Missions, $3,000 ; Foreign Missionary Society, $3,- 000 ; Board of Education connected with the Presbyterian Church, of which Rev. John Patton, of Philad., is Secretary, $3, 000. The balance of the wealth of the deceased, amounting to some $95,000, was left to his friends in New York. Baltimore, Mar. 19. The ship Robina.Capt. Kane, from Liv erpool, bound lor Baltimore, with a cargo of salt and iron, experienced heavy gales during the whole passage. Un the 20th ult., lost overboard Frederick Austin, seaman. On Monday last, while approaching Cape Henlopen, she ran ashore. There was but one hundred passengers on board, all of whom got ashore safely, except five, inclu ding two ladies, who were drowned. Hopes are entertained of getting her off. She is insured for $50,000, mostly in Baltimore. The Robina was a fine ship, about two years old, and belongs to Sparry & Pleas ant's line of Liverpool and Baltimore pack ets. A barque, loaded with railroad iron, is also ashore in the same neighborhood, and both vessels, at last account, were in dan gerous positions. A steamboat is being despatched to their relief. Loss of a Missionary Family at Sea. Rev. C. C. Dawson and family, of the En glish Baptist Mission in Ceylon.sailed from Col umbo for England, in February, 1850, and the vessel in which they embarked has not since been heard from. The lapse of time has been such, that all hopes of their safety is relinquished. Mr. Dawson had labored in Ceylon ten years, with zesl, ildelity, and success, and the shattered state of his health made a withdrawal from his labors necessary. He is now, probably, withdrawn from tbem forever. The loss to the Mission is a serious one. Meadville Theological Seminary. The sum of $20,000 has been subscribed and paid within a few weeks by the Unitarians in Boston, in aid of the Theologicsl School in Meadville, near Lake Erie, in Pennsyl vania. One of the western friends of this institution, II. J. Huidekoper, Esq., offered to make a donation of $10,000, on condi tion that the farther sum of 840,000 was obtained ; 26.000 of this amount has been subscribed in New England. The Season for tbe commencements of the Medical Schools of this country has be gun. Last week we announced the grad uation of 227 M. D's from the Jefferson in this city.

JST"The timely and commendable orga nization of a Fire Company in this ISoro', will likely result in an organization of wi der scope and more permanent character than fire companies in general. It id in contemplation, we believe, to obtain a charter and convert it into an vmirauce as well as fire company, after the example of similar institutions in the cities. The Mutual Insurance Company up the river has become unpopular in this quarter. We sec no good reason why this newly fledged fire company might not in due time safely insure the bulk of the property in this Bo rough and Valley, with advantage to all the parties interested.

A fire broke out in the Assembly buil ding, on the corner of Chestnut and Tenth streets, late in the evening of the 17th inst., and before aid could be obtained, was too far under way for control. It was al so stated that the height of the building was so great that ordinary engine pipes were of little use and the large and splen did fabric was soon in ruin, and its nu merous inmates lust much or all of their property. Among them was a splendid Panorama of the Bible, valued at S'20,000, which had not yet been exhibited, aud was the all of the proprietor. On the morning of the 18th, the neigh borhood of the Spring Garden Presbyterian Church, under the pastoral charge of the Kev. Dr. M'Dowcll, was stunned by the falling in of the roof of their large and splendid house of worship, 80 by 110 feet, built only six years ago at a cost ot nearly $20,000. The immediate cause of the disaster was the body of suow falling at the time (the equinoctial storm of Monday and Tuesday week) but it is admitted hy all that the building had not sufficient strength to support the roof as built. Had it fallen while a congregation were gather ed, hundreds of lives must have been lost, as the interior is a complete wreck, and the brick sides of the building were forced outwardly by the falling mass. The con gregation are taking measure to rebuild. . These accidents are impressive warnings aginst putting buildings so high in the air as not to be reached by fire engines, and against sacrificing strength and durability to show and supposed cheapness in build ing. 8-John S.

We are aware that many of our readers favor the System, but others doubtless will agree with us in the opinion that its introduction into this State would be an unwise policy, and likely to furnish abundant cause for regret hereafter. from the MUtonian. The persons doing business under this act are entitled to receive from the Auditor General such circulating notes, and of such denominations as may be demtndeJ, coun tersigned and registered, equal to ninety per centum ol the market value of the loans deposited,and are required to keep on hand at least twenty per centum of the amount of such circulating notes in gold and silver. In case these personsrefu.se to redeem their no'es, when demanded, the holder of such note or notes may cause the same to be protested for non-payment by a notary public, under hi seal of office, and the Auditor Generil,oa receiving and filing in his office such protest, shall forthwith give notice in writing to the makers of these notes to pay the same. and incase of refu sal, sliull give notice in one newspaper published in the county w here such person are doing business, that all circulating notes issued by such association of persons) will bo redeemed out of the trust lunds in his hanils for that purpose, which he is au thorized to sell at public auctim and apply the proceeds of sale for canceling said notes. The plates, dies and materials for the printing and making the bills, are to remain in the hands of the Auditor uene- ral, and t lie expenses incurred in procuring them are to be paid by the persons apply ini; for such circulating notes. No banking association shall have a capital stock excee ding five hundred thousand dollars, and shall not continue in existence more than fifteen tears at nny one time. Every member of ihe association is liable in his individual capacity for Ihe circula ting notes issued by the association, and lor every contract, debt or enuai;ement entered into. They are obliged lo make out quarterly returns, under oath, of the cond'tion of the banking association, and transmit them to Ihe Auditor General. The Slate Treasurer in paying the semi annual interest on the loans deposited un der this act, is required to deduct there from the rale of two per crnt. per annum, on the amount of loan so deposited, which s-im shall be held in the Treasury for the benefit of the sinking fund, and shall be in iieu of lax on dividends. These associa 'ions east of tho mountains are required to keep their notes at par at Philadelphia, and those west of the mountains at Piitfiiurg, and upon a failure shall forfeit and pay for the use of the Commonwealth two mills per annum on every dollar of the average amount of circulation of their notes.

JtQp'The Board of Ecvcnuc Commissio ners adjourned on Friday last. The total increase of taxable property for three years past, is $42,735,328, equivalent to a gain of $22,000 per annum, revenue. We copy the conclnsion of the Report of the Com mittee of tne Board : The aggregate of the taxable properly of the State then adjusted, exclusive of watches, is 492,83J,S'9. This amount may not be as lare as might have been anticipated, The-value of property in some couuiies, as appears from the evidence helnre the Board, has been seriously affec ted by the depressed condition of the iron manufacture in the State, operating, as it does, directly upon the largo amount in vested in that business, and indirectly upon hi agricultural interests in the value of real estate generally in many counties. Wi'h thernuie or causes of this state of things the Board has nothing to do. They merely report the fact as presented to their notice by ihe evidence laid before them. The members occupying this body, now about to separate, with the probability that lew or none of them w ill ever constitute a portion of any future Board, feel it their duty lo express their unanimous opinion, grounded upon the investigations in which they have been engaged, of the value of the system of revision by a Central Board, and to express a hope that the Revenue Board may continue so long as taxation fur State purposes is necessary .as a means of adjusting errors, and thus protecting the honest tax payers. The repeal they could not but regard as a step which must inev itably be attended with evils ol the greatest magnitude. Irregularities in the local as sessment, varying with the intelligence aud moral sense of every assessor in the State, might at once be anticipated. All that is required by our citizens in the various districts of this great Common wealth, is to be satisfied that they ire pay ing but their fair and equal share of the general taxation. This Board, in the con clusion of their labors, desire to record the gratification with which they have learned from hll parts of the State.that the burdens rendered necessary to preserve inviolate the honor of the Commonwealth, are cheerfully borne. That such will be the case, until they can be materially lessened or entirely removed, we can not doubt.and that the people of the State may always, as now, be proud to bear the name of citi zens of Pennsylvania.
