I LEWISBURG CHRONICLE AND WEST BRANCH FARMER with farming is more unseemly and untidy than heaps of stones piled up, by which the soil is not only unproductive affords a hiding place for vermin and nourishment for noxious that when the management of soils comes (8 be better understood, it will be no uncommon thing to see Inborers employed, where there are fields of loamy soil, overlaying the surface of such fields with large quantities of silex, or small granite stones, if they call be procured, that they may amalgamate or mix with the soil, for the very purpose of imparting heat and moisturs, thereby doing what many farmers, contrary to their own interest, now very often undo. ludeed, were it possible to pound the granite rocks, (and there conld be no difficulty in inventing a piece of machinery for that purpose,) I have no doubt whatever but the powdery or pounded substance would be found suitable and profitable to mix with some soils. It is well' Rnown that gravel, or tilly soil, is an excellent top-dressing for moss, and strong clay for soil of a light sandy nature; in like manner, I am of opinion that silex in large quantities, laid as a top-dressing on the surface of a heavy loamy soil, and worked into it, would be equally beneficial, though it would be found that the corn crops on such soil would grow shorter than formerly but nevertheless it would certainly be firmer in texture, and consequently better for food, and the grain would also be heavier and better in quality. And here I would venture to offer an opinion, that a heavy lostny soil would never be found suitable for cropping, were ench soil manured by the sewerage water of towns thrown over it by irrigation, for assuredly nothing would be produced but abundance of soft straw. But mix such soil with a large quantity of course gravel or small stones, and then the sewerage water would be found to do admirably for corn crops, as well as for green crops and grass.

It should be the business of every person connected with agriculture to use his utmost endeavor, consistent with a proper regard' for economy, to exert himself for the improvement of the soil; for I do believe when this becomes to be better known, it will astonish every one what may be done with it, especially after it has been laid thoroughly dry by a proper mode of diaitage, for without that (the first and most important of all agricultural improvements,) it would be a complete waste of money to try any experiments whatever, howerer profitable and interesting in the outset they might seem.

The Senate on Saturday, passed the bill from the House, though in an entirely new shape, revising the Militia system of the Commonwealth. It abolishes the absurd system of annual trainings, and subjects only volunteer corps to this species of military duty, while the various elections for brigade, regiment and company officers, which have heretofore entailed upon the Commonwealth an expense of something like $40,000 every seven years are virtually abolished, saving this amount to the treasury, together with the yearly expenditure of between twenty and thirty thousand dollars for militia purposes.

In In lieu of the annual service required upon "training days," a penalty of thirty cents is imposed upon each person liable under former laws to military duty, in case he neglects to unite himself to some volunteer corps. It is stated by some, however, that the law does not go into operation this year. Two of the Commissioners of this coun. ty happened to be present at the fire on Friday last-Messrs. Riddell and Sedam, and i it was a fortunate thing for the public that they were in the borough, for had it not been for their timely exertions the Court House would have been a heap of smouldering ruins.

Public property was almost forgotten in the anxiety to save privale property, but the were Cotimissioners at their posts, and with the help of Mr. Levi Hartman, and some others, the threat ened calamity was finally done, good and faithful servants."

f. of "Star Lewisburg a of the NORTHUMBERLAND, March 49. Mr. Editor: In my pedal excursions have halted at a remarkable borough, in' appearance somewhat antique, and about the usual size, called Northumberland: It lies at the confluence of two meandering. wandering, serpentine dreads, the North Branch and West' Eranch of the winding Susquehanna, which after uniting pass on harmoniously towards the briny salt ocean.

There is a bridge over each river, assisting the weary traveler to arrive hither. On the other side of the West Branch there are rocks and trees, and on the tip-top of the brow of the precipice is an odd-looking old which seems to be just toppling over down the steep bank, and in which it is rumored has long dwelt un aged celibate named Mr. John Mason. Yours, locomotively, Boy, Jr. No: BLOOMSBI April 12.

Keeping up the noble though crooked North Branch on the west side, we see many castles in the air, and alter passing over the ancient and dangerous bridge on Fishingcreek, we enter a town of considerable pretensions called Bloomsburg. It will probably greatly edify your intelligent village" to be informed that Bloomsburg has a very romantic appearance, the streets being entirely free from mud, and swine having full egress and ingress. Bloomsburg is bounded north by Berwick, east by Catawissa, south by Miahoning, and all the rest of the way by Fishingcreek. It is quite a little place, containing five or six trading concerns inclusive of a barber shop and eight or ten houses on which are pictured a card of xingerbrend and a cidercup, with the words and bier Soald hear." -all of which proves that the people are very literary. Indeed, they think Bloomsburg is exactly in the midile of creationthat the sun rises and sets for their special accommodation- hat the roads all center there--that the and also the Fishingerrek belong to them -and that all the outside barbarians envy them.

Danville, California, Philadelphia, and Espytown they regard as the four corners of the globe, but mere suburbs of Bloomsburg, which is considered By the natives as the source of light and power to all Columbia county, which it is thought" comprises the limits of civilization. I' happy to ineet Mr. VouzhigriffenHoppenmoyer, who though often badly treated, (Republics are ever ungrateful, but men never,) in still yet' rearing up generals and senators, as he has been doing for seventy -five years past. I tiny say without affectation that I am one of his most finished and erudite specimena. There are two Democratic papers here, MA consequence of which the town is increasing in its Whiggery, insomuch that the Whigs think of starting another Demberatic paper th awell tHe Whig majority.

With all their greatness, the people here are not so proud and stuck up (as some towns are) but they could beg thirty years for' a county seat, which (when i it comes into full will doubtless increase the travel here, although it is now considerable, as a dozen or'twenty teams often come and go in a day. It is not to be wondered that her patriotie citizens are so indignant that the Legislature was so very ignorant of the size and importance of Bloomsburg, that they gave the Bank to Danville--for the Bloomsburgians triumphantly exhibited their financiering abilities in promising to build a Court House, and then working a few cool thousands for it out of the county. However, the Danvillains say if they can only get the Bloomsburgers to oppose them on the Montour County bill as they did on the Bank bill, they will be sure to carry the new county next year. Altogether, Bloomsburg is one of the towns, and has many great folks, but great folks "abroad" (particularly those perfectly disinterested- myself for example) do not exult them as they themselves wish to be exalted. Yet I must confess that the scenery about any of these mud-holes naturally inspires the poetic brain, and I'must be al.

lowed to indulge in one stanza, impromptu: Columbia's big Bloomsburg to glory, arise, The queen of the world and the child of the skies, Thy Star of the North sheds its liquid-est tar, And thy Demo. of Bob tell has something to say Very frequentlyMy host summons me to try his kraut and sausnge, and I must draw to a close. My next will describe the Berwick Water Works, But I shall returp via Bloomsburg if necessary, sharpen my pep, and finish my descriptive poc-hum. Yours as inuch as ever, BoY, Jr. abrupt descent from so dizzy a height must be excused, for the writer was only a boy -very hangry--and the smoking viands very tempting.

'HE number and formidable character diseases originating in diseased state of the liver, has long challenged the attention' of medical men. Some of these diseases, classed under the general term of consumption, have been supposed incurable, and the unhappy, patient was allowed to die, without medical science being ennbled to offer him' a hope of recovery. Happily this can no longer be the case. A remedy has been found which' cure all these complaints, of whatever character, arising from derangement of the liver. 'The Pills discovered by Dr.

Lane, of Virginia, act directly oh the liver, and by correcting its operation and puritying it from disease, cuts off and extirpates the complaints which have their origin in the diseases of this organ. Remedies hitherto proposed for these diseases have failed to operate upon the seat of the disease; but Doctor M'Lane's Pills make themseltes felt upon the action of the liver, and by cleansing the fountain dry up. the impure streams of disease which thence derive their existence.
