/avmcv'sJ gqmvtmrnt. Farm Work for August. HARVESTING. —In the far North, where this is not yet completed, re fer to the direction of last month. Oats in many places yet remain to be cut. This should bo done while the straw is yet slightly green—the straw will be more valuable, and the grain not shell out as when fully ripe. The gleanings of nil grain fields may be secured with a horse rake STUBBLE GHOUND. —To destroy the seeds of weeds, harrow all stub ble ground as soon as the harvest has been secured, or pigs have eaten all the gleanings—the first rain will then cause all seeds to germinate, and the next plow ing will turn under the green crop as manure. HARVEST TOOLS. —These are often neglected, and suffered to remain weeks exposed to the weather, to their serious injury, by. the rusting of metal and the decay of wood. Let them all be carefully housed, after having been thoroughly, cleaned, and the bright metal parts rubbed slight ly with lard, oil or incited grafting wax. SEED WHEAT. —Tn order to keep up the highest quality, or to improve the seed of wheat, select the very best portions of the field, and exclude the seed of every weed, and especial ly of that notorious intruder, chess. Many careful farmers, by continued, attention for years, have succeeded in entirely eradicating chess from their farms. To improve the quality of seed wheat, the largest and finest heads may be selected by hand ; the process repeated, year after year, will give very encouraging results. A half day spent in thus selecting the best heads w ill furnish a considerable amount, and all weeds may thus bo kept out. The best winnowing ma chines may also be used for this pur pose, sepcrating the largest, best and earliest ripening grains from the rest. WF.EDP. — This is the season of the year when many seeds ripen and scat ter their seeds. A day's work now, properly applied may therefore save a half dozen day's labor another sea son. Clear all the weeds out of corn and potato fields, root crops and gar dens. Briers cut during this month will be severely checked in growth, and sometimes destroyed, l'low in deeply the ox-eye daisy ; dig up all scattered plants which appear before winter, and follow next year with a hoed crop. DRAINING. — On lands which were too wet to underdrain last spring, the •work may be now done to advantage. Muck swamps, which may be reclaim ed and brought into cultivation, or which may afford muck for compost heaps, should now be thoroughly un derdrained. The muck for manure should be thrown out and formed in to large, well-shaped heaps, and they will become dry in the course of a few months. To prevent rain from soaking these heaps, they may be neatly covered with boards or thatch, or if even made with a smooth sloping top, beaten hard with a spade, muck of the rain will be thrown off from the surface. The disappointment which many meet with in the use of muck with manure, is owing to the amount of water which it already contains, preventing the absortiori of the liq uid parts of tl»c manure. Wet muck is usually about nine-tenths water; and if rendered perfectly dry, will therefore absorb about nine times its own weight of liquid manure ; hence the importance of using it in yards or manure heaps as dry as possible. MANURING WHEAT.— In most of our best wheat regions, unless the soil is already quite rich, the most effective use of manure is a top-dress ing after the land has been plowed. It has often increased the crop eight or ten bushels per acre, and sometimes given a good yield of the Mediterra nean variety where the winter has nearly destroyed undressed fields. The manure for this purpose should be fine or well rotted and well broken by harrowing. To prevent the ma nure wagons from hardening the plow ed soil, it is a good way to plow and then dress a strip on the further side of the field, and then repeat tlio pro cess on successive strips till the whole is completed. If the soil is ve ry dry, bring the moist portions up by deep plowing, and drill in immedi ately. Stacks axu straw. —Every far mer, where practicable, should pro vide barn room for all his hay and straw ; but where stacks become nec essary, much may be done for secur ing their contents in good condition by retopping them. A load of straw neatly placed upon the top of ft large hay-stack, and neatly raked down wards, or what is better, thatched top, would bo of great benefit. Farmers who have an ample barn room, with their grain safe from rats, and who are not compelled to hurry it early into market, will do best to leave "their thrashing until winter. A small machine, driven by a two borse endless chain power, will ena ble them togo through the work at thattimo with little or no additional help for attendance. The straw be ing fresh will be preferred by animals. Where, however, thrashing is done, •care should be taken to secure straw in good stacks, protected from the weather. Good, well-preserved straw ■will assist much in wintering animals, and if fed in connection with a small povtion of grain or meal, may bring them through in good condition more cheaply than if fed on hay alone. The daily use of a portion of straw as litter will help towards the manufac ture of a large amount of manure. The straw should therefore be placed where it is easily accessible at all times. The stacks or ricks should therefore be as carefully built as stacks lor hay. FATTENING ANIMALS. —Feeding these should bo commenced early in the season—the same amount of food will go much farther now than in cold weather. Late summer apples mav be fed to swine. Select and pur chase all needed stock. MEADOWS. —These should be now cleaned of all bushes, rocks, stones and other rubbish which may inter fere with the mowing machine anoth er season. FENCES STONE 'WAI.LS.—Farms which have roose stones, or quarries, may be furnished with the best of barriers, in the shape of good stonewalls. A few weeks spent in each year will alter a time furnish the farm. The great leading req uisite, to prevent the frost from ultimate ly throwing them over, is to set them in trenches. These trenches should be as wide as the bottom of the wall, and deep enoif hto bo below frost—say from a foot to a foot and a half. 1 hc.se trendu" may he filled with such small stones us can not be used in the wall; large ones will not answer. The trenches should never be come filled with water walls built upou the surface of the ground, no jir>' r how well built and perfect tin blocks i, n be. will soon become distorted by hca\ ing, and be ultimately overthrown by fro t. Where the stone are not good for building, the wall may be bound together by strong cross-ties of durable wood, placed about half way up,- or at two or three different distances up—cut the right length with a saw, and split thin, and two or three inches wide. In such cases, or where stone is not abundant, half wall may be built, capped with two rails, supported by stakes. SAVINO TIMOTHY SEED. — The great point is to have a good, clean cro p. 'J'lio best portion of tho meadow should tie se lecteil, and all foul weeds previously well cleaned by liaml. It is usually cut too late, or when tho seed shells. The licit time is when most ol' the heads have be come brown- It is unimportant bow it is cut, provided it is taken in before the seed wastes, and it is not allow to heat or mould. It may be cradlod at some hi-rlit, the rest being afterwards with a mowing machine ;or it may be cut with a hand scythe—narrow swaths and a little plas ties enabling the workmen to throw the heads all one way. It will usually be dry euough to bind in a day or two.— Tucker'* Annual KiyUtcr. K- The following capital story is told of a constable in Pennsylvania. He had served a legal precept of smiie sort on a particular friend of his, who, greatly drunk at the time, rebelled against the law and its myamidon. seizing the officer and slink ing almost to pieces. The parties meet ing a few days after, dim, the offender, was quite orofuso in his apologies : " You know, Jake," said he,"l would not have served you so, if I had been so ber; it was the devilish whisky did it all."

W. a woman of 85, has had a difficulty in her stomach for several years. Lately physicians havo decided that the trouble is occasioned by a live and growing snake in tho stomach. It has grown so large that it distends the stomach so as to pro duce a hunch upon the outside as large as a ijuart bowl. Upon pressing this hunch with the hand the reptile recoils and pro duces great distress in the stomach. When fish or meat is being cooked in the room, if the snake is not satisfied with food, it rises up in the* throat, producing stragulation. When desiring food, it manifests it by rising up in the throat. Physicians see noway in which this snake cau be removed without certain death to the woman. • trjf It is customary in some churches for the meu to be placed on one side, and the women on the other. A clergyman, in the midst of his sermon, found him self interrupted by the talking of some of the congregation of which he was obliged to take notice. A woman immediately rose and wishing to clear her own sex from the aspersion, said, " Observo, at least, your reverence, it is not on our side." "So much the better, good wo man, so much the better," answered the clergyman; "it will be the sooner over. Wheeler's Cavalry Movements. NASHVILLE, August 17. The Chattanooga Gazette of the Gth contains the following: The rebels in the attack on Dalton numbered 5,000 in fantry and cavalry and six brass howit zers, commanded by Slaj. Gen. Wheeler. The garrison at 1 'alton numbered 400 of the 2d Missouri, under Col. Seibold. On Sunday morning the rebels approached the town in lino of battle. Wheeler scut a formal demand for surrender. (Signed) J AS. WHEELEH, Major < ten. Com'd Confederate Forces. < ,'olouel Leibold responded in the follow ing laconic terms: " I have been placed here to defend the po.-t, bu! not tosurrender." . (Signed) 15. LMBOLD, Com'd'g. The rebels outnumbered Col. Leibold ten to one. His command sought protec tion iu his earthworks and a large brick building. The invaders swarmedintothe town an I were gallantly kept at bay by the garrison, who from behind the works uiowe 1 down the rebels. On Monday morning General Stead man arrived with reinforcements. WASHINGTON, August 12, 1804. —The commander of the 1.. S. steam er Potomasku reports to the Navy Department, under date of July ilOth, the destruction of two rebel salt works on a creek leading out of Bock river, Georgia, six miVs from the mouth. One of the works contained twelve pans, and another six. 11. I'. Swan, Acting Vol. Lieut. Colmiuand ing, left the ship at two o'clock in the morning and landed at daylight, lie destroyed the pans effetually. Lieut. Swan had the first and third cutters with him, and on their return they were ftrod on by the enemy, at a distance of ten yards. Three men were wounden. The enemy laid ve ry low. The fighting was kept up for three quarters of an hour, when the expedition returned safely. The Navy Department has infor mation of the success of an expedi tion sent from the I'united States ship Saratoga to Dogby sound, Georg ia, capturing the inhabitants of Mc intosh co., Ga. A whole country meeting of rebels was caft ureil. They destroyed two bridges aiid a large encampment. Information from Williamsport, to seven o'clock yesterday morning, says all was quiet. The rebels retir ed from Virginia bank, going towards Winchester. A bsttle is expected there. GEN EARLY OHDEKED THE BIRN INF or CiiAMnEUsin no.—The fact that four citizens of 11 u/i rstown were taken as hostages by tne rebels when they re-occupied that place, 011 Fri day last, has already been announ ced in our columns. One of them was Rev. Mr. Hyde, who was taken to Early's headquarters. Gen Early affirmed to Mr. Hyde that he (Early) ordered the burning of Chambers burg. That the General made this assertion there can lie no doubt. We have received the facts of the case of ltev. Irwin II Torronce, (secretary of the East Pennsylvania Bible House,) who obtained his this morning, at Chambersburg, from Rev. Mr. Hyde, who has been paroled by the rebel commander, 011 condition that he reports at Richmond in two weeks, if .not exchanged previous to that time.— Jlarrisburg Telegraph. NEW YOIIK, August 12.—A pas sengar by the Evening Star from New- Orleans reports that they were chas ed on the 11th inst. by a pirate for four hours. Also that she fired three shots at the Evening Star. iVei ebern Aug. 5. The following items arc taken from the Newborn Times: An expedition from Norfolk travers ed through the Albermarlo counties on Saturday and Sunday last, following close upon flr.o from Newborn, clearing out blockfrae runners and obtaining important information. Another rebel ram is in course of com pletion at Edwards' Ferry, and they arc pushing every nerve toflnish it and bring it down on the river with the fall floods. A diamond shaped floating battery has been completed, carrying two guns to a side, with which tlio rebels propose to defend the inouth of the Roanoke river. They have also constructed a fort, mount ing 12 guns and a 100 pound I'arrott, at the mouth of tho river. Forts Gray and Wessels havo bceiT to tally demolished. Attempts have been made by the reb els to raise the sunken Soutlield. B@f~ The following are worth remem bering : 1. It must not be supposed that editors and preachers can please everybody. 2. That to'get angry with an editor or a pastor, because they do not always please us, is very silly. That the whole world is not greatly interested in our personal difficulties and trials. 4. That broodingovcrdifficultics, wheth er real or imaginary, will only aggravate them. 5. That it is too much to expect the world to move in just such way as will suit our convenience, andjn no other way. (!. That a spirit of complaining is very uu amiable. 7. That a complainer is never satisfied. If one cause of complaint is removed, he will soon discover another. 8. That he who starts out with the in tention of correcting all the errors of men generally fails to correct anything. 9. That when men will not listen to us, they arc not therefore necessarily devoid of wisdom. 10. A man or womau never lost any thing by being polite. rF.G Ui \1 > v ki< t isi: >» l: .vrs.
