Al'timLTll'tUi. Agrifullure AHHHII? thp Romans. The Roman farmers, like ourselves, were fond of putting on record any extraordinary , crop. Pliny says that there were sent front j Rvzantium in Africa, to Augustus, nearly j 400 stalks, all froui oue grain, and to Nero, 810 stalks. The soil from which this mi- j mci.se yield was obtained would seem lo have po-essed a remarkable quality, lor Pliny says that "when dry the stoutest j; oxen cannot plow it, hut after rain I have seen it opened by a shire, drawn by a wretched ass mi the one side and an old , woman on the other." A s<tl that "hao.'-.- so hard as this in dry weather could not ] have been plowed very deep with such a team. In Italy the crops seem to have | i been less extraordinary though good, ac- i cording to Varro the yield of wheat was | | iioill 21 to 31 bushels per acre. j i When Home was at her grea'cst height, j • in the time of the <\c<ur, the farmers ob tained almost fabulous prices for some of j their productions. Varro informs us that "fat birds," thrushes, biack birds, &c., were uo'id at fifty cents each,and sometimes 5000 • < of them were sold in a year from oue farm. 1 [Farms were generally Small ] Pea fowls were sold at *7; an egg at bO eonts. A j farm sometimes produced as many of these j | fowls as to sell f0r525,000. A pair of fine j doves were commonly of .the same price as j a peacock, Si. If very pretty, they were ? much higher, no less than S>so. li. Anius, a ; I lloman knight, refused to sell a pair undo, I . SO4. The "chicken fever" it seems did j not originate in this age and country.— j 1 Whether the Ronnns,hal any Sbaughais in , those days that could "eat corn off the top of a flour bairel, aud stride over a sixteen j inch plank without any exertion," we arc j < not informed. I: Woodward, in his "Essay towards a> 1 Natural History of thc'Eartli," published • ( in 1095, says, those who have written de J i arte combinatories reckou up no fewer than ( one hundred and seventy-nine millions, one thousand and sixty different sorts of earth." Modern science informs u?, indeed that all agricultural soils are composed of sonic i fourteen elements, hut these arc socombin rd as to form an almost infinite variety of i Soils, of whose i-haracteristics at the pros- j ent day, we can hardly claim to know any- | thing. The Romans were equally ignorant. • They characterised soui as rich, or poor, i free or stiff wet or dry. The best soil they ! thought had a blackish color, was glut*in- • ous when wet, and friable when dry. exhal ed an agreeable smell when plowed, im bibed writer readily, retaining a sufficiency and discharging what was superfluous; not j injurious to the plow irons by causing a ; salt rust: frequented by crows and other birds at the time of plowing; and when at vest speedily covered with a rich turf.— A free soil was always preferred. The oest situation for lands, according to Columella and Palladius, is "not so much on a level as to make the waicr stagnate nor so low as to he buried in the bottom j of a valley nor so exposed as to feel the vi olence of storms and heats, tor in these a j mediocrity is always best; but champaign land exposed and whose declivity affords the rains a free passage, or a hill whose sides gently decline; or a valley not too lunch confined and into wlueh tire air lias earv access: or a mountain defended by a higher top, and thereby seemed from the winds that aqa. most pernicious, or if high and rugged, at the same time covered with trees and grass. The situation of lands which Cato reckons the best, are at the foot-of a mountain with a southern expos ure. Plincy says that the best lauds iu Italy are so situated. Planting trees to screen the land from tne high wind* which frequently prevailed, apt! for fruit, was recommended by nearly all the Roman writers. Cato says; "A land owuer should apply himself to the planting of his fields early in his youth; but lie ought to think long before he builds.— He ought not to tLink about jdantiug; but he ought to do it. When ho is about thh ty-six years of age, he tuay build, provided his fields arc planted." Pliny gives the some, advice. "Men," lie jays, "should plant in their youth, aud not build till their fields are pluutcd; ami oven then wight not to Lc in a hurry, but take time to consider. It is best, according to the proverb, to pre Si by the lolly of others." Many young A merieac faimcis might follow this advice of the old Roman with adiantage Rctier plant a good orchard, than build a fine house. The Romans paid much ajtcnliou to the breeding breukiug, feeding and woikiug of their cattle. "Bulls/' says Palladius, ".-btuld be tall, with huge members, or a middle age, rather young Uun old, and of a stern cuuuteuancc small horn?, a brawny tmd vast neck, aud a confincdbelly." The cows (lolouiella most approves ofure "a tall make, loDg, with very large telly, very broad head, eyes black and open; boms graceful, smooth, and black, hairy ears, straight jaws, very large dewlap utid tail and moderate hoofs and legs." Breeders of horse? and rows, Virgil ob serves, should attend principally to the make of the female, who ought to le large hi all her | arts. is a printing office in Paris capable of printing the Enid's prayer iu three hundred different languages.

With but a subordinate regard for pru dence, policy or popularity, it has aimed to stand lor Righteousness, lor 'i ruth, lor Hu manity, against fortified Iniquity, Fraud and Oppression. There is not a slave-trader on this Continent, though he may never read anything but his bills ot' sale anil notes-payable, who does not know and bate The Tribune; there is nut an extensive fabricator ol drugged and poi touous Liquors who does not consider it a very dangerous and immoral paper, and wonder why its publication is tolerated in a commercial,cot ton-buying City like New-York. The Newark Mercwr'y once forcibly remarked that it had ne ver known a hard, griping, screwing, avari cious employer who was not hostile to Ihe Titini.NK.nor one eminently generous and kind ly who did not like it. Promp and plain-spo ken in its denunciations of iniquity and abu ses ol power, while claiming no exception from human falibility, it may have done temporary injnstiee to individuals, but it has never been unfaithful to Principle, nor deal'to the cries ol "the wronged and suffering. In its columns the advocates of novel and unpopular theories contemplating the melioration of human woes, especially those of the voiceless and down trodden, have ev. r found audience and hospi tality; while it has ardently resisted, and will persistently combat every attempt to proscribe and degrade any class because of diversities of Nativity, Creed or Color. In defiance Of calumniesthe most atrocious, J and of hostilities the most deadly and untiring, j TUB TMBIKE has grown steadily in public ap- , | pieciation from the day of its origin. It- j ; means of serving the public liave been augs minted in proportion. Instead of a single editor with one or two assistants, its organlsa : tion now comprises a numerous body of wri ters, each fitted by special accomplishment ami cxjterience for the particular line of dis cussion to which his pen is devoted; the daily amount of reading matter given mom than quadruples thai o! itsoarliett issues; a stall'of valued correspondents encircles the globe, transmitting early aud Intelligent narrations of whatever is most worthy of attention; while Politics, Legislation. Literature, Art, History —in short whatever affects the social well-be ing of mankind, Polemicfflieology alone ex cepted—finds here the freest and most search ing discussion. Attached by profound conviction to the be neficent policy of industrial development and internal intercommunication, whose most con spicuous champion through the last Half Cen tury was IIKXKT CLAV- imbued, moreover, with that spirit of forbearance toward our weaker neighbors, and.toward the much wrong ed Aborigines of this Continent, and of Peace with All which will hallow tiie name of Whig, TK TRIBUNE, while surrendering no jot of its independence, cooperated earnestly and ar dently with the Whig party so long as its vi tality was preserved. When, in 1850-2, an attempt was made to interpolate slave-hunting into its creed, we sternly resisted that, impo sition; when, nt the close of the last Presiden tial canvass, it was seen that a large portion of tiie Whigs preferred to defeat their own party rather than allow its Auti-Slaverv wing to share its triumph, even under a conservative Chief on a Pro Slavery plutfqrm, we kttowwnd proclaimed that the Whig party was no more. Subsequent events, including ttie rise and cul mination of the Know-Nothing conspiracy, and the speedy absorption therein of the whole rtnce of Pro-Slavery Whiglsm, only confirm ed our undoubling anticipctions. With no sickiy lamentations, therefore, for the inevita bly bygone, but with hope, and joy, and sym pathy, and words of cheer, have we hailed the beginning aud watched the progress ot that mighty KKITULICAN movement which, impell- J ed by the perfidious violation of the Missouri Compact, and stimulated by the astounding | outrages whereof the rights of the Free Set- ; tiers of Kansas have been the victims—by the j repeated aud utter vitiation of their elections | by an armed mob collected by conspiracy and I hurled suddedly upon them from the border counties of the neighboring SlaTe State, is destined to sweep away the landmarks of old party feuds, and unite the true hearts and strong arms of the free-soulcd in one mighty effort to confine the scourge and scandal of our country within the limits of the States which unwisely uphold it. To the success of j this effort the energies of TIIK TRIBUNE will lie j sternly devoted; while the TKMIKIIAXCK Hu ron (, including the entire suppression of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages, will find in i it, as hitherto, ail earnest and unflinching ; champion. Commencing as a daily folio sheet of mode- j rate size, ami with scarcely a stiadow of pat- | ronage, THE THIBI XK is now issued in quarto ! form Daily (three distinct editions,) Semi- ; fVeeklj and Weekly, on a sheet 44 by 34 inch- I es, eight ample pages of six columns each.— Its circulation lias steadily grown from nothing j to the following aggregates: Daily issues (evening and morning) 29,500 copies j Setni-WecUiv, 14.175 <• Weekly, " 137,750 ! California edition, 6,000 " j Total, 187,425 We believe no other newspaper in the world has a subscription list over half so large as | this; and no periodical of any sort can rival it. ; And while its extreme cheapness, rendering an increase of paying readers only as indirect pe- ! cuniary advantage to us, lias doubtless largely swelled its subscription list, it would lie absur dity not to jierceive in this unprecedented pat i ronage some evidence of public approval and ! esteem.

No woman of delicacy is willing to disclose the imculiar ailments incident to her sex, evdii to a most intimate family physician. This modesty and delicacy is implanted by nature, and neither should nor need bo subject ed to the rude shocks inevitable in making known to the other sex those ailments belonging exclusively to the female. Except in extreme cusea, her sensitiveness will sacrifice her health rather than her delicacy The consequences are serious, lanientablii and life-long. Thus what at first could have heen easily rem edied, or perhaps better still, not inclined be comes a complication of diseases, not only ru ining the health of the mother, and enihitttrhi lier days by sickness and suffering, but entailing broken constitutions upon her children, ang embarrassing, if not distressing, the business and pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let eve rv sensible woman TAKE WARNING IX TI.TIE (as thousands have done) by the hitter experi ence and sufferings of others, of the dreadful consequences she entails upon herself and those endeared to her, by her ignorance of the sim plest and plainest rules ol health as connected with the marriage state, the violation of which entails disease:, suffering and misery. How many are suffering from obstructions or irregularities peculiar to the female system, which undermine the health, the effects of whien l hey are ignotnnt, and for which their del icacy forbids seeking medical advice! How many suffer from proiupru uteri (falling of the womb,) or from fluor albus (weakness, debility, iVc.)! llow many arc in constant agony for inn ay months pieceding confinement! How ma ny have difficult, if not dangerous deliveries, and slow and uncertain recoveries! To the question, lion - are these to he preven ted 1 what shall he done ? the answer is simple. Let every woman ascertain tor herself, without violence to her delicacy, the nature and charac ter of the ailment (to which she as a female is subject) the causes from which it may arise, and the proper remidie;. for its cure and future pre vention. This she can do by possessing a little volume (already possessed by thousands) which tells her what is the matter, and tells her what to do for it, in simple but chaste words, and such as she can understand. Tiiis little volume is entitled THE MJRRIED WOMJX'S RIVATE MEIMCIL COMPANION BY" 1)K. A. M. MAURICEAU, nROFKSSOR OF DISEASES OF VVO3UN. One Hundredth Edition (o('o,ftt'o) 18wio., pp. 25(1 [OS FISF. PACER, EXTRA BI3TDIKG, sl.] A stan.iarvl work of established reputatio found classed in the Catalogues of the great Trade Sales in New York, Philadelphia, and othercities. and sold by the principal lor.ksel iers ill the United States. It was first published n IK 17, since which time 'FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES have been sold, of which there were upwards of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SENT BY MAIL, attesting the high estimation in which it held as a reliable popular medical BOOK FOR EVERY FEMALE the author hiving devoted his exclusive atten tion to the treatment of complaints peculiar to females, in respect to which he is yearly con sulted by thousands, both in person and by letter. Here every woman can discover, by compa ring tier own symptoms w >tli those described, the nature, character, causes of, and the proper remedies for, lier complaints. The wife about becoming a mother has often need of instruction and advice of the utmost importance to her future health, will find such instruction and adviere, and also explain many symptoms which otherwise would occasion anxi ety or alarm, aaall the peculiarities incident to iler situation are described. It is of course impracticable to convey fully the various subjects treated of, as they are of a nature strictly intended for the married or those contemplating marriage. The revelations con tained in its pages have proved a blessing to thousands, as the innumerable letters received by the author (which he is permitted l>y thewri ters to publish) will attest.

These pills possess a specific actior on the nervous system,and although they are prepa red especially for tbdt purpose of curing Fits they will be found of especial benefit to all per son afflicted with weak nerves, or whose ner vous system has been prostrated or shattered from any cause whatever; in fact it is almost impossible to convey an adequate idea of the peedy and almost miraculous results which these pills effect in the diseased, broken down tr iirostrated nervous systems. Persons who were all lassitude, weaknesss and debility, be fore their use, at once become robust and full of energy. No matter whether the constitution has been broken down by excess, weak by na tura, or debilitated bv sickness, their effect on the unstrung and shuttered nervous organiza tion is equally certain and apparent, incases of neuralgia, headache, vertigo, pain in the nerves of the face, and the various train of ner vous affections, palpitation of the heart, period ical headaches, cold and shivered stato of the frame, frequent tits of abstraction, total inabili ty, dislike to society, tnelancbolv, religious mo nomania, heats ami flushes of the face on the slightest occasion, a desire that existence should terminate; they will produce a cure in an aston ishingly short period of time, and it will also remove depression, excitement, a tendency to blush, restlessness, sleeplessness,incapacity for study or business, loss of memory, confusion, | giddiness, blood to the head, mental debility, hysteria, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of self destrm tion, fear of insanity, Ac., fcc.— They will increase and restore the appetite strength* D the emaciated, renew the health of those who have destroyed it by excsscs, and induce continual cheerfulness and equanimity of spirits, and prolong life. Persons of pale complexion and cosr.uniptive habits are restored by a box or two, to ldootn and vigor, changing the skin from a pale.lyellcw sickly color, to a beautiful floiidcomph xion.

Next Joe Brown told his store "My wife had already retired in noi a.[ sleeping room which adjoins the kitchen. tin door of which was a jar; not being able t.i navigate throughly, you know, 1 mad,, a dreadful clattering among the honsei.ibl furniture, and my wife in no verv pleasant tone, bawled out: "Do break the pudding pot!"
