It is an established fact that, to tho , reader variety is necessary to awaken and sustain interest and to also give pleasure. Applying the same philosophy in my agricultural pursuits and musing upon the sublime thoughts suggested by nature, my imagination reach eel its climax by the assistance of the plow handle upon colliding with a hugh stone, thus raising me from earth to think of higher things. Its a failing I suppose to be always wondering, but, hoirever, I was one day trying to figure out how a horn with a 6 -inch foot could walk comfortably in a 0 -inch furrow, but was more bewildered at the celerity with which. the animal could run in it. I have also tried bee culture but was forced to quit the business as the cost in diminishingthe swellings was greater than my piofits. I then went in for base hall but my Pi ! aombivation vu::t hown from igXtirli , I co quently baoame dl�lustedwlth t o peculiar outfit wItiola. I had to assume ao that wit crecliton. presence et a portant etation in the field would be noticeable.

Dames -In the last two lame of this paper the correspondent of a rural settle anent to the INT W of Eirktenvizi-Plugtovm has served up a dialled seirtulous composi- tion to the numerous readers of the Exeter Tines, which is compatible with the character of the young men who live in the vicinity of Plugtowu. The correspondent of the aforementioned place evidently gloats on the conduot of the 'tamer& slake" he refers to, no doubt being one of the gang himself. For the past few *Peeks a number of living creatures that call themselves men have degraded themselves so low, and have such little regard for the Sabbath day as to lay in wait for persons going home from church and cause them considerable annoy ante by stretching ropes across the road to trip them. Not satisfied with this they block up gateways with rails, and to still further show their insanity climb trees and give vent to the 1008t 'hideous gene. We leave it to people with commonsense to judge which come nearest to the description your Plugtowneoribe given i e an animal which these enlightened individuals call s thing; yes indeed which?
