Tt is not only a passive iujusticc to the in ventors, owners aud salesmen ; but it is actually giving the cbnmpious of the country grasshopper ploughs (Floppora) the opportunity to crow. Many intelligent, well educated, successful planters, have uever used no improved plough, and some of our black smiths aver, that they can make a plough thrt will turn under grass as well as the expensive improved kind. Now have Collins, Brinley, A very and others been manufacturing and selling for thirty or forty years at prices rang ing from five to twenty five dollars, when our knowing neighbor can make art'clos that can do the work just as well for two 7 If it is so, it is time we were convinced. If it is not so, then will the Agricultural Societies stick a ptn there, and for next, yeer invite special competition from the piney woods shops for a good round premium in money, and appoint a committee that have ploughed, (not sat on the fence and looked on) with both, and all kinds, to decide?I think it will tell. Another matter?a lawn of sandy loam is no place to teft any plough The agricul tural grounds here, afforded a tolerably difficult field for this year, though only in sandy soil, but with go >d coat of lallen crab grass?tin fortunately no clay, pea vines, or tall broom sedge.

The first furrow (of six) was turned very well, of coarse ; the second was turned back agaiast the first, tumbling most of the first back where it came from ; the soil and clods-of the second falling in behind the plough. The pair of third furrow slices were leTt standing on edge, as tlroy could not well be turn ed over the upheaved clods of the second. The difficulty would have been over come if tho first two slices had been I taken thin bo ns not to fall back, leaving a clean furrow for the others. The one-horse ploughing by Mr. Carpenter, and coadjutor equally skil ful. Mule walks in the furrow where he has been used to go?plough follows in the' furrmo as a matter of course Mule is hawed to the left on to the fund, where he is not accustomed to walk, by a dozen voices. Plough shrots to tho left?shoots to the right?clogs is jumped out by Carpenter, the wuy he does with floppers, skipping a few feet every time. Plough dips down again, and is well shaken up from side to side, as would be dono to one of the refrac tory little Carpenters who might mlsbe haro ; the plough, of course, making .corresponding littlo p ?tito hills for every shako. At the oloso overy one was fatisfiod, for every one had a voioe in it, and there were specimens of nil kinds of ploughing.

A word on tho ooulter. A sharp knife merely prosFcd against your fine cloth ooat will not cut, but even a dull ono, slightly drawn lengthwise, will. It is the pnme with the coulter. In solid sward, tho revolving coulter will, un doubtedly, cut well; but with a cotton liko bed of crab-gruss, ou u sandy loam, it will cither roll over or press in the most of it, to he gathered by .ho plough. The height of tho beam from the sur face of the . soil, of the largo ploughs, only keeps them from clogging badly. The shape of the Watt plough is differ ent aud it looks us though it might bo superior iu this respect. All the ploughs on exhibition wore so skilfully got up and so excellently shap ed, that 'twould be difficult evcu for an expert to choose, much more so for a novice. If peotry, and the plough might touch finger tips, I might write? "Oli! I couhl bo happy with either, Were to'tuer <leur euarin?r away." Coming down a ton notches, we may notice the W-att nnd Dixo, (both un scourcd ) They should not have bocn brought ijito competition with the polished Brinlcy, Avery nud Collins, aud other ploughs. 'Tis not doing all parties justice. Like the countrymen at the village frolic, the good qualities are there, but uuder a cloud. No doubt nine out often would think differently, but as a breaking up plough in trashy land, I should prefer the Dixie, the weight -being a little objectionable? next the Watt. As to the small ones, they are all good and beautiful, and I believe when only one is used, the purchaser is always prejudiced in its favor. Looking over the price list handed me by the courteous representative from C. Gravoley; of Charleston, the cuts of the '?Universal Plough" make me think it the most promising investment to one who is short of money. Brains cau cer tainly make almost any crop with in dustry and the different parts of this changeable Briuley plough, If I may be permitted, I would sug uost a long and a short wing of saw blade steel two inches wide to attach to the right side of the pieeo marked No. 11 , thus making a half sweep throwing only one way.

The Execution of BLijor Andre The following sketch of the execution of Major Andre ni the British army who was hanged by the nook in obedi ence to the award of a court martial held in West ehester County, Now York, about 1780, was written by an "eye witness," a man who looked on aud saw tho terrible drama consummated. Andre was a subject of Groat Britain, an ohicor commissioned by (Icorgo III, and an aid do camp to Sir Henry Clin ton. As such, he was commissioned a spy by Clinton, to nogotiato with Major General Benedict Arnold for the sur reudor of West Point, then tho strong hold of the American army. He was dotooted, tried aud executed. Two things elicited in behalf of Major A mint unsu-d sympathy. First, his youth, for ho was only twenty nine yuan, of ago when he was hung; and second, his extraordinary, manly personal beau ty. Prior to his boing arrested aud tried as a spy, he had mingled in the more aristocratic circles of colouial so ciety, and had, prior to tho breaking out of the Buvolution, been the pot and idol of our American belles. The us sociations ho had formed rendered him one. of tho most popular young English mon in all the colonies. 'I was that time,' says the narrator, 'an arti?cior in Colonel Jcduthun Bald win's regiment, a part of which was sta tioned within a short distance <*f tho spot where Andre suffered, l?oo . of our men (I beliovo his name was* Arm strong) being ono of the oldesds, and best workmen at his trade iu tlwo rcgi racnf, was selected to make hisjcoffin, which be performed, and painted! black, agreeably to the customs in thosAtimes. At this timo Andre was con?ned iCi what was called a Dutch Church, &dunal I stone building with only one diflQpmd guarded by six scntinols, Whin the hour appoiuted for his execution ar rived, which, I believe, was 2 o'Kock p. M.. a gunrd of three hundred men were paraded at tho place of his coii?yoniont. A kind of procession was fori 'ncd, by placing a guard in single file . >m each side of the road. In front were a large number of American officers pf bigb rank on horseback. These were followed by i i wagon containing Andre's coffin; then a large number of officers on foot, witl ? Andre in their midst. The procession, moved slowly up a moderately rising [ hill, I should think about a fou:th O Pa mile to the west. On the top wfcs a field without any inclosurc. In th is was a very high gallows, made by sorting up two poles, or chrochets, and ifriying a pole on the top Tho wa^on ?i?t con taincd the coffin was drawn difrectly uu der the gallows. In a abort, tit&u Andre stepped iuto the hind end of thjf' wigon; then on his coffin; took off,, his and laid it down; then placed bVis hands upon his hips and walked very! upright ly baok and forth, as far as t*j?o length of his coIiin would permit, at Ctho same timo easting his eyes upon tjhe p >le over his head, and the whohrc scenery by which he was surrounded I He was dressed iu what I should cidl a com plote British uniform; his ?'lt W li ?f the brightest scarlet, faced trimmed with the most beautiful j*Jta?- JIis underclothes or vest and ijjjP^C" j'ere bright buff. ? He ha da long aud teal " tiful he id of hair, which agreeably to the fashion, was wound with a bl ick ribbon, and hung down his. hack. All eyes were upon him, and it is nit believed, that any omen- of the British / ... army, placed in his situation, would have appcarei^bettcr th m this uu forte mite man. "Not many minutes after ho took his stand upon the cotfiu the execution \x stepped iuto the wagon with a halter iu his hand, which he attempted to put over the head aud around the neck of Andre; but by a sudden movement of bis hand, this was prevented. And e took off bis handkerchief from his neck, u 1 pinned his shirt collar, and deliberately took the cud of the halter, put it over his hetd, and plaeod the knot directly under his right car, und drew it very i-nugly to his neck, He then took from his coat pocket a handkerchief, and tied it over his eyes. This done, the o Beer that commanded (his uame I h&ve for gotten) spoke in rather a 'oud v dee, aud sai l that his arms must be ried Andre at once pul ed the handkerc lief he had just tied over his eyes, and' lrew from his pocket a second one. an I gave it to the executioner, and then replaced his handkorohief. His arms wero tied juat above the elbows, aud behind the back. Tho ropo was then made fast to tho pole overhead. The wagon was verp suddenly drawn from under tho gallows, which, with the lengt h of the ropo, gave him a most tremendous swiug back aud forth; hut iu a few minutes he hung entirely still. "During tho wholo transaction he appeared littlo daunted; but his coun tonauoe watrather pale, lie remained "hanging, T should think, from twenty to thirty minutes; and during that timo, the chambers of death were never still or th in tho multitudj by which ho was surrounded. Orders were given to cut the rope aud take him dowu without letting him fall. This was done, aud his body carefully laid on tho ground. "Shortly after the guard was with drawn, and spectators were permitted to come forward and view the corpse, but the crowd was so great that it was some time before I could get au oppor tunity. When 1 was able to do this, his ooat, vest, and breeches wero taketi off, and his body laid iu a coffin, cov ered by some underclothes. The top of tho coffiu was put on. 1 viewed the corpse moro carclully than I had over dotio that of any other human being beloro. His head was very much ou ono side, iu cctiHOi|ucuoe of the manner iu which the halter drew upon his neck His face appeared to be greatly swollen and very black, much rcsoinbling a high dugrco of inortificatioQ. It was iuiWd a shocking sight to belvphL Tliure were nt this time, standing at the i'out of tho coilin, two young men oi uncommon short stature?I should think not more than four feet high. Their dross was the most gaudy that I ever beheld. One of them had the clothes just takou from Andre hangiug on his arm* I took par titular pains to learn who they were, nud was informed that they were his servants sent up from New York to take his clothes; hut for what other business I could not learn."' Slock on the Farm. Out feed is certainly more economical than uncut. Whether it is healthier or otherwise depends much on whether the horse* are allowed t> rc;t after oat - ing. Indigestion is the cause of more than half the diseases of horses, and we should he careful to feed properly and regularly, and e<po dally to avoid put ting the horses to work hard on a full stomach. Milch cows should now be giving a full How of milk. If there is tie slight est syniptoins of a falling off, give a lit tle extra feed in the form of earn meal and bran slop. Corn is cheap, and it the rows can convert one, two, or thrco quarts of meal into milk it will be very profitable. See that the cows are mil ked regularly and clean. Sheep should have their lio>fs pared, and every she*p in the Hock have its feet drosed with oarbolioaeid to prevent foot rot. Dip the lambs, after the ewes are sheared, into a solution of carbolic soap to kill trick. The ewes and lambs should have the be.-t pasture on the farm?but let it be dry upland. Low hind is death to sheep.

Salt regularly, or better still, let the sheep have access at all times to the salt. They will then never cat enough to scour them. Swine are looking up. In the great com growing sections of tho country there is no stock that pays so woll at present prices as go-d pigs, and the prospects are favurublc for a oonsidcra ble advance Feed liberally. Nothing is better than a good clover pasture; but it is a great mistake not to grain in addition.

B u.-? incss Mo a th/>/. ???>..? ?? ? ? Hydrophobia from :i Cat Bite. Mr. .Tames Raymond,of Brooklyn, N. Y., died last week from hydrophobii from the bite of a cat. The Xe?v York Sun says: "Six mouths ago, while stroking the back of a cat, tho trencher ous creature suddenly turned and bit him severely ou the hand. The wound was dressed, aud Mr. Raymond cxper [ ieueed no serious inconvenience from it until last Tuesday. About noon ofthat day he became sick, lie discovered au obstruction in his breathing," and had severe pains iu the head. For a time he was unwilling to believe that anything SeriuUfl ailed him, b^i ho was compelled to quit his work aud go home, where he arrived at four o'clock. He sent for a physician, who decided that the ailment was congestion of the left lung, and prescribed for the patient with that j view. The next morning, however, I when the doctor called, .Mr. Raymond j was much worse, and his symptoms I could hot bo aceouuted ibr on the hypo thesis of congestion of the lungs. In quiry elicited the fact about the cat bite, and the doctor was then satisfied that be had a case of hydrophobia to treat. This couelusion received a fear ful confirmatiou about twelve o'clock. Mr. Raymond had then a terrible parox ysui, lasting more than au hour, iu which he frothed at the mouth, espresso 1 the greatest horror at everything liquid, an i required the services of six strong men to prevent his harming himself or others. This paroxysm was succeeded by others, none of which were so violent. Atone time he begged his attendants to release; him for a few minutes aud as he w ? then comparatively quiet, they did 8 ? llo seized the opportunity to rush to a closet where there was a bottle of laud anutu. lie got (he bottle iu his hands, but it was taken from him before he could make any use of it. Six phy.u ein us were with him on Wednesday evening and night. They kept him iu haling chloroform, and injected mor phine epidertnieally. This treatment seotued to alleviate his sufferings, an I lor two or three hours before life was extinct he was comparatively calm. His last moments were quito pcacoful. Shortly before he expired he said that he would prefer death a thousand titujs to the agony of another paroxysm. ? i ? ii ? - - ?? ?. Where wo Live. _ Insignificant as is the spot we inhabit, the zone ol life?thc^nrea which not only all that live and breathe and move inhabit, but in which nil vegetation is contained?is still more limited. From the submarine forest in tho lowest depths of the sea, to the highest altitude to which the condor soars, above the perpetual snow, is but twelve milei?six miles of air above us, six miles of water beneath?ever) thing that that has vital ity is confined. If the salamander lives central tire, the exception is so small as scarcely to be worth mentioning. The air presses upon the e irtb with a force equal to thirty-three feet of water; and upon every human body with a weight of fifteen tons, whioh only docs not squash us flat as pancakes because tho air surrounds us on all sides, includiug our iusides, and thereby the weight is balanced. To most of ur^ Nature is. oqe vast mirage, suggesting infinite delusions; aud cvca to tho learned many thing! still remain to bo cleared up by slow* moving science in fu'uro ages. Who would imagine upon tho face of the mutter, for instance, that, in an air* less world, ntt a sound could evor be heard? On tho contrary, in still and silent spaco, one would conoeive that w* might hear a pin drop from the moon. Ilawkshy demonstrated the contrary of this fact in a memorable experiment be* fore the Royal Society. He placed ft clock under the roceivor of an air-pump, in such a way that the striking of the clapper would continue aftor the air had been exhausted ; while the receiver was full of air tho sound was q'Hto audiablcj when it was empty, all was silent. Aga'n, when the air was introduced. I hero was a feeble sound, growing in intensity as tho air grew denser. At the i.">o of Mont viatic, the report of ft^ pistol is no louder than that of a com mon cracker let off at tho level of tho sea. "Above two miles," says" Mr. Olaisher, who, as everybody knows, rj an mronaut of considerable experience,1 -'all uoise ceases. I never encountered a silence more complete and solemn then, in the heights of the atmosphere-?in' those chilling solitudes to which - no terres'.ria! sound reaches." Oa other hand clouds absolutely facilitate the transmission of sound. Above ft great city, to a height of frotr. 1,000 to . 1,500 feet, there is always a noise, "immense, colossal and indescribable." The whistle of a steam engine is hear.*! at 10,000 feet, tho noise of a train at . 8,200, says M.

Chambers' Journal. A Child Bride While wo were in the court house in f/um last week listening to tho testimo ny iu tho case jf the Stite vs. Lade, fir abandoning his wife and children, a little girl was introduced as a witness. In manner aud general appearance fin* was simply a child, aud we really thought ought, on account of her youth, to have been spared the ordeal to which witnosses in a court of justice are goner ally subjected.
