[FOR THE PILOT ] Ter -Centenary Celebration. The German Reformed Church in America, and also to some extent in Europe, observe the present year as a year of jubilee, in honor of the formation and adoption of the Ilaidelberg Catechism. Those who have some acquaint ance with the history of the great Protestant Reformation of the 16th century know that this Catechism is one of the principle symbols of the Reformed church of that period, that it has continued to be the only symbol .of the German Reformed Church, and that, owing to its mild and oecumenical spirit, it found wide-spread favor among the different nations of Protestant . Eietope. it was prell'afed,'under the direction of Frederick Hi, called also Frederick the Pious, Elector of the Palatinate on the Rhine in the year 1563, by Zacharias Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus, professors in the University of Heidelberg. The system or, faith which it teaches is Re formed or Calvanistie, in antithesis to the Lutheran system of faith. It is Calvanistic oo the subject of the Eucharist, which was the principal subject of controversy that divided original Protestanism into two grand divisions, the Reformed and the Lutheran. On the subjeett tbekdiOineAmtrees it is KR .053'.• t t han more moderate in its tone than some other Re formed Symbolm its for instance the;.old.Stotic Confession, adopted two years earlier, and the Westminster COnfession, adopted about eighty years later. The celebration referred to was Inaugurated by a convention held in F'hiladelp .

Produce'. this market. brings double the price that it does in locations tant front the cities. In this location it can be pt _into market the same morning it is gathered, and for what. the farmer sells he gets the highest. price: whilst. groceries and other articles he purchases he gets at the lowest. price. In the West, what he sells brings him a pittance, but. for what. he buys he pays two prices. In locating here the settler has many other advantages. He is within a few hours, by railroad, of all the great. cities of New England and the Middle Stales. He is nearallis old friends and associations. He has school for his children, di vine service, and all the advantages of civilization. and he is near a large city. The Climate is delightful ; the winters being sa lubrious and open, whilst. the summers are no warm er than in the North. The location is upon the line of latitude with northern Virginia. Persons Wanting a change of Climate for Health. would be much benetitted in Vineland. The mild ness of the climate and its bracing influence, makes it excellent for all pulmonary affections. dyspepsia or ownerp4, debility. Visitors will. notice a difference in a few days. Chills and _fevers are unknown. Conveniences at Hand.—Building material is plen ty. Fish and oysters are plenty and. cheap. Visitors must expect., however, to see a new place. Why the Property has not been Settled This question the reader' naturally asks. It .is .be- cause it hits been held in large tracts:by families not disposed to sell, atitl,being without railroad facilities they had few inducements. The Railroad has just been opened -through the property this season, for the first time. Visitors are shown over the land in a carriage. free of expense, and afforded time and opportunity for thorough :investigation.- Those who come with a view to settle, 'should - bring mieney to secure their purchases, as locations are not held upon refusal. The • Safest thing in Hard -Times. where people have been thrown out of employment; or, business. and possess some little Means or small incomes, is to start 'themselves a home. They can buy - a 'piece of land at a srirall'price, and earn more than wai,es in improving it, and Nhca it. is done it is a certain in dependence and no lass. A few Flores in fruit. trees will insure it'ectunfortable living. The land is put down to hard times. and 'all improvements can be made at a'eheaor rate than most any otherlime. The whole tract, with six miles front on the rail road, is being laid out. with fine and spacious aven ues, with a town in the centre—five acre lots in the town splr j rom $l5O tos2oo two and n-half acre lots,.at..from 80 to $l2O, and town lots 50 feet front by .1 - 4 feet. deep, at. sloo—payable one-half cash and t.te, balance within a year. It is only upon farms of twenty, acres,_ or more, that four years' time is given. To Manufacturers. the town affords tt fine opening for the Shoe manufacturing business. and other er ticks, being near Philadelphia, and the surrounding country has a large population, which affords n good market. • This settlement, in the course of several years will bere of the most beautiful places in the corm trif.ant moat agreeable.ler a residence. it is intendetrtolnake" it a Vine and Fruit grow ing country, as this culture is the most profitable and the best adapted to the market. Every advan tage and convenience for settlers will be introduced which will insure the prosperty of the place.

Esq., published in the New York Tribune. in reference to Vineland re d this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Houle—Vineland—Re marks upon 'Marl—Soil. its great Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced-- Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, i n a n almost l e vel positioft, and suitable condition . 4r pleasant farming that we know of this side of the west ern prairies. We found souse of the oldest farms appar ently just as profitable productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ogn. The geologist would:Mon discover the cause of illin continued - fertility. The whole country is a merino deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances. generally in the form of indurated calcareous Merl, showing many distinct, forms of ancient: shells, of the tertiary formation ; and this marlY substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition ntoit easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate. Mari, in all its forms, has been used to fertilise crops in England, from the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in France and Germany a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field.— How much more valuable then it must be, when found already mixed through the soil. where new particles will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner's use every time he stirs the earth. Having then satisfied our minds of thecause, they will not be excited with wonder tit seeing induhituble evidence of fertility in ail which in other situa tions, having the same general cbaracteris.tics or at least appearances. is entirely unrenumerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil- IMEIII lw words about the quality and value of this anu for cultivation, of which we have some strong • proof. Our first visit was to William D'Mllson, Franklin township. Gloucester county, who-purchased some eight miles north of Millville, abont Wilke years ago, for the purpose of establishing a steam mill. to work up the timber into lumber• to send off by the new railroad, as well as the firewood and coal. for which he built a branch track a mile and a half long. lie also furnished sixteen miles of the road wish ties, and has no doubt made the mill profitable. though his main object was to open a farm. having become convinced that the soil was valhable for cultivation. In this he has not been disappointed, as sortie of his crops prove. For instsnee, last year, the see,,nd time of cropping, 3116 bushels of potatoes on one acre, worth 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres. without manure, produced 3i( bushels of oats. In one field, tire first crop was potatoes, planted among the s roots, and yielded 75 bushels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown. and yield ed 16 bushels : and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat, which yielded 33 bushels ; and then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 21 tons per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crops were first, ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime: third. 200 pounds Peruvian gu ano; theuo bushels of slaked lime has been spread upon the 'Clover since it was mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops. and the wheat stub ble of the present season, all indicate his land as productive as any part of the State. At Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we wore so particularly struck - with the fine appearance of a field of turn, that we stopped to inquire of the hit man how it was.produced. We, found that the land had been the year but one before in wheat. sewn with clover, and this cut one season, and last spring plowed once, with one -poor old nag," and ',lomat with corn. "Yes, but you Immured. high, we supFose ?" we said interrogatively, and got this reply : "Waal„you see.' we couldn't a done tact; 'cause we hadu t but forty one-horse loads allogoh4r, for' 23 acres, and we wanted thR most en't for the track. The truck :consisted of beets, carrots, cabb,s,e, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch • of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we• were satistied.that the soil was not .ifertile, even Imaidesi. by clover, which had fed the ;lot n, because the "truck patch" bail not been in cultivatt.n long enough to. obliterate all signs of the forest. Our • next visit was to the large farm of Andrew Sharp. five miles north of Millville. from half to a mile east. of the railroad, and just about in the cen tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work here in December. 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than three years. he has got 244 acres cleared and in crops this seasolFis-well inclosed and divided into several fields, with*'Oedar rail or pole fence ; has built. a two-story dwelling, about 36 by 40 feet, arta a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and granary and some other out buildings. . Considerable part of the land was cleared for the ploW at $9 an acre, and on some of it the first crop was bdckwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This crop may be put in July 4th tooth, and yields 20 to 80 bushels per acre. harvested in November; When the land being sowed with 15Idlis of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre,and $lO worth of straw. The rye'stubble turned. after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again4with guano and seeded to wheat, gave 15 or llidiuShels. The crop which he was threilllag *kite we were there promi ses more, of a vilr plump grain, any the straw is very heavy. . We went over the stubble, and found the clover and timothy, from seed sowed last spring. on the;_ wheat without harrowing. looking as well as weever'. saw it upon any'old cultivated farm, and with a lit tle work done in the winter s to clear oil seine roots ankrotten stumps, and setting stakes to mark per manent ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next year with a mowing machine, and re will guarantee two tons per acre, if he will give the ovmplus if is 'wee runs the estimate. Part of the land wits planted with potatoes for first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre.
