From the subjoined paragraphs, and others which we have seen, it that the crops of wheat and corn have been very much injured by the Fly and Cut-worm. In tnia county, also, those destroyers of tne prospects of the Farmer have committed great ravages.

Md. May IS. AGRICULTURE. It is much to be feared ttiat the crop of Wheat will be very light this harvest. We that in Washington, Frederick and Montgomery counties, all famed for the growth of wheat, there will scarcely be any crop at all, and the Eastern Shore, the field's that have been opened by the frost, are now wasting- under the effects of fly and sedgrinir.

The average crop in cannot be more than half a. crop from present appearances, and the fear is that it be mucii less even than that. In this part of the countrv, the cut worm has made "dreadful among- the corn, and vegetables generally and we are told, the FLY has done considerable injury to the wheat fields. CAHIISI.E VCLUSTF.EII. The Hessian Fly, that fell destroyer of the 'staff of is now voraciously and to an alarming extent, -engaged in its ravages so that tears are entertained by many respectable farmers, that they will have to purchase their bread-tor the ensuing year, or at most, many do not expect more than naif a crop.

Perry Forester. 'i TFIE EDITOTI or THE 3rtt--The practice of taking' more than legal interest for money, by monied individuals, from their fellow being's in less fortunate circumstances than themselves--or, in plain and familiar languag-e, the odious and detestable practice of Jto "ET savrisu," has been reduced to such a perfect system, that it loudly calls for the sharpest and most severe animadversion. If those concerned in this most iniquitous of practices men who alone possessed immense and were totally regardless of social and natural feeling for the calamities incident to their species, it would be a procl- :sp.I w.sste of time for any per-Jin acquainted with their diabolical conduct to notice, them. But as the most conspicuous of them sre knovtitobe men with in public, demean themselves in a decent and g-entiemanlv who, fact, are selected as the Directors of mo- nied institutions the duties tney to their families, to the public, and to iera- these cormorants prhy upon tne vitals of society, and elicit weaitli from the misfortunes of their fellow men. Nevertheless we see men of this stamp aiding- in directing the concerns of the Gettysburg Dank Is it not strang-c that tiie majority of its stockholders --who are known to be humane and generous--for the credit of the institution, do not scourge these changers of inonev out of the It would be doing tne community a service; for, by suffering- such men to rill such stations have in opportunity of'fi iling-out every man that may be in want or an occasional loan of mo.iey to meet an engagement, over whom they can lord their monsters in human shape deserve to be execrated by every friend to hontsty atid fair dealing-.

Atticus. Fern THE Cowrtr.n. Ma. LSFEVJBII--I am once more induced to notice the AC pedant, and I expect to give him sufficient cause to throw away his g-oose quill, and retreat from the field of science forever. It is altogether likely, that he will still strive to retain his and, ttio'l may not be able to make him retreat, yet I am certain that it will be more for want of sound understanding on his part, taau sufficient cause on mine.

I did not enquire whether "Indeterminate Analysis" contained the most con litions or requisites, but merely if the cond.tions and requisites were cf equal number, ins reasoning therefore is not applicable. He pronounces the question which appeared in the Compiler of April loth absurd, because, he says, it has more conditions than requisites. In this lie is for although I always knew, that tuat query was an absurdity, yet can demonstrate that his reasons for pronouncing it so are not correct. To show his folly I shall here transcribe the query in question--" Wnut two numbers are they, whose sum is 300--the one dize, which justice and common sense equally condemn and i no expression in the act itself sanction. The Treasurer of thib County, in dating his certificates of the license, refers them all back to the first day of September, instead of affixing the date of the application by which he requires a man, who can sell his license for one or two months only, to pay as us he who obtains it for a year.

To me, it appears that the intent of the law is othersvise--that it merely re- i so per year, and that license a not expire i the end of the year after application. It is just and reasonable ttiat it be so, and any other i a i i can be given, must be arbitra- i and oppressive. I do not know what is tiie practice of the Treasur in i but I horx that the a will i i i and some decision satibictory a the mere tfise dixit of the Treasurei be obtained to justify the giving the above an insertion, you will oblige one interested. Z. I A I The National Vaccine Institution.

To THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STYTES. AN erroneous idea has been taken up, in consequence of the repeal of the law rela- to vaccination and manv persons have seen induced to believe, that this Institution was thereby broken up and abandoned. BCT THIS is THE CASE. The law which as been repealed, never granted any mo- icy, or made any other provision to encour- except to permit all letters to and from me on the subject, to be carried ree of postage. It must be evident, then, that the Vaccine Institution can be continued as well without the aid of this law, as with it.

The repeal of this an Institu- ii of this kind doubly necessary and clearly proves that the public good requires should be permanently fixed upon some foundation. should not be liable to not have said that no plan had been proposed "to cure hard times, raise the price of wheat," c. although, perhaps no patent right was ever obtained for the discovery. The plan ti-i 1,1 1 I A ifcJ i I 1 multiplied by 1 5-tJ, and the other by 2 j-rf. beanectea at time by personal caprice, cucn of tneir products shall equal thcsu.n of private interests, or vulgar prejudices 01 the numbers recmlred any kind.

I snail now give one that has just the number uf conditions and o.vir TWI requisites, and work it so as to put quib biing'out of the question and I will dare, notwithstanding- his criticisms, to retain the precibe phraseology of the former one. What two numbers are they, whose sum isoOJ--the one Multiplied by One dollar and" sixty-nine cent! and one third, and the other by two dollars and cents and three thirteentns, each of their products shall equal the sum of the numbers required Let One hundred and seventy seven and tirenty one, one liundied aud twenty sevenths, be multiplied by I dollar and cents and one third, and the product will be oUO, required per question Again-multiply 122 and one hundred and six one hundred and twentv seventus by 2 uoUars and 44centb and thirteenths, the product will be SO 1 as required per 177 and twenty-one one nun- dred and twenty-sevenths, and imJ. will continue mv exertions, therefore, to sa.ne number of co7iit 1 cstabI5 this Instifition on the plan pro- i i so as to nut cm posed, in opposition to every that may be presented arid I hope that a discerning-public will give such encourag-e- they must perceive it merits. The auxiliary agencies ulreaclv established, shall be continued and other agents shall be appointed, to whom this remedy will be forwarded occasionally for distribution. Ff these ag-ents should not want it at the time I may send it, they need not pay post- p.s^e or receive it.

A tub of water was standing in the room, and the child, unperceivecf; crawled to it, and raised itself to the edge, fell head foremost into the in which position it was found by her mother on her return to the room. "When taken out, it was not quite dead, but all the means used for its recovery were ineffectual, and it next day. few days ago, an occurrence of neatly a similar nature, but fortunately not th such a fatal result, happened in this city.
