Miles, of Lne, has offered to donate to
tho Pennsylvania Agricultural Society,
two hundred acres of land, situated in Oi
rard township, Erie county, provided the
organisation locate an Agricultural college
on said land. We hope that the wealthy
friends of agriculture, in tho neighborhood
of Harrishurg, will not allow the Institu
tion to be diverted from this vicinity.
They have now an opportunity to coufcr a
blessing upon agriculture and our borough,
as well as to hand dowu their names to
posterity, which should, and we hope will
be, taken advantage of.

Cold winds, white snow,
Xuw rain, now blow.
And chill the landscapes Autumn glow;
The ice-bolts freeze
The naked tree,
And seal ihe old year's obsequies !
A leaden sky
Jiroop heavily,
As dull and glazed as dead man's eye;
The sweeping clouds
In culd, cutd crowds,
EiifulJ ihe day in gliaiiy shrouds !
The woods he bar,
And here and there
The gn y moss hanps its mnnrnful hair;
The leaves that burned,
Jty fierce winds spurned
Lie mouldering 'mid the soil inurned.
The sinewy vins
In Irsllrs lines
Hang sadly 'round llir sombre pines ;'
Through their festoons
lime solemn tunes.
As weird as any northern runes.
The day is cold.
The earth is old,
And mourns its summer's squandered gold;
The birds are dumb.
The springs are numb.
For Winter in his might hath come !

when no vessel for that purpose is on the

common ten or twelve quart water pail,

cheap, and expeditious ; the pail costing
only twenty or twenty-fivo cents, ia taken
off in a moment, replaced, and the honey
ready for transportation, or market, ani

honey to be made,(my bees made two pails

can be put on at once.

The Beb Moth. Suoh of our readers
as are engaged in the bee culture will be
glad to learn that a remedy has been dis
covered which effectually prevents the
ravages of the bce moth. The frequent
and serious injury caused by this pestifer
ous insect, has deWrrcd many from enter
ing into the business of raising bees, more
especially aa io tome localities the ravages
have been so great at nearly to destroy
both bees ani honey. The plan is this :
Split joints of cano' through the eentef
and arrange them on the four sides of the
hivo with the split side resting on tho
platform. Tbe moth, instead of depotitioj
its egfts nnder the edge of the hivo, will
lay them under the split cane,from whence
