D. Toung Stook. Every farmer should bear constantly in mind thot the growth of his animals Is almost clear profit the easiest made prof. it of his farm. If, for want of ftyid and proper core, young animals stop growing during this trying -season, the profits here stop also or rather loss is reaped in place of profit.

The prudent farmer will let nothing go undone which will tend to keep his young an imals continually thriving and growirig. The prnetico generally followed of letting colts and young cattle "shirk for themselves" half the winter, or of feeding them only on the refuse of the farm, is as baneful an error as can be found in the whole system of farm, mismanagement. Colt are allowed the free use of the straw stack, liberty to roam about the field and pluck the frozen grass', and sometimes are turned upon the wheat fields in winter. Such affords but little nutriment. In youth there is a two-fold demond for good, wholesome food first for repairing the waste of all the tissues of the body sec ond, for increasing the bulk.

No animal will increase in bulk when kept in the manner first alluded to, the food being barely sufficient to supply the waste of the body. After the fatty portfons of the flesh are consumed to keep up the natural warmth, the animal, is, verily, poorer in the spring than when it first saw the barn yard in the fall. This two-fold demand for aliment, and the want of strength or vitality, under such treatment, to resist depressed influence, is abundantly sufficient to account for the marked effects of scanty and improper food on both horses and cattle when young, is eh food contains so small a portion of nutriment that great quantities of it must be consumed to supply the natural waste of the system. The consequen ces are a stunted groth, a gradual enlarge. me nt of the abdomen, and the animal becomes what is significantly termed "pot bellied it loses its fine form, and its d'gestive system is very often severely in jured.

Life Illustrated, Variety of Food Necessary. It is in vegetable as in animal "life a mother crams her child exclusively with arrow root it become fat, it is trne but alas it is rickety, and gets its teeth very slowly, and with difficulty. Mam ma is ignorant, or never thinks that her offspring cannot make bone or what is the same thing, phosphate of lime, the principle bulk of bone out of starch. It does its best, and were it not for a little milk and bread, perhaps now and then a little meal and soup, it would have no bones and teeth at all. Farmers keep poultry and what is true of fowls, is true of cabbage, a tur nip, or an ear of wheat.

If we mix with the food bf fowls a sufficient quantity of egg shells or chalk, which they eat greed, ily, they will lay more eggs than before, A well bred fowl is disposed to lay a vast number of eggs, but cannot do without the materials for the shells, however nourishing in other respects her food may be. A fowl, with the best in the world, not finding any lime in the soil, nor mortar from the walls, nor calcari ous matter in her food, is incapaciate from laying any eggs at all. Let farmers lay such facts as these which are mat ters of common observation to heart and transfer the analogy, as they may do) to the habits of plants, which are as truly alive, and answer as closely to every inju dicions. treatment, as their own horse.

of that age were seldom able to relieve. One solace was left to hunbrandy. Even when ho had causes to try and councils to attend, he had seldom gone to bed sober. Now when he had nothing lo occupy his mind, save thrilling recol lections and terrible he abandoned himself without reserve to his fa voritovicc. Matty belioved him to be bent on shortening his life by excess.

He thought It better, they said, to go off in a drunken fit than to be hacked by Kertch, or torn limb from limb by the populace. Once he was roused from ft state of abject despondency by an agreeable sensation, speedily followed by a mortifying disappointment. A parcel had been left for him at the tower. It appeared to bo a barrel of Colchester oysters, his favor-ite dainties. He was greatly moved for there are moments when those who least deserve affection are pleased to think that they inspire it.

'Thank he ex-cla'med, I have still some friends left He opened the barrel and from among a heap of shells out tumbled a stout halter. It does not appear that one of the flat terersor ljuffoons whom we had enriched out of the plunder of his victims came to comfort him in the days of trouble. But he wits not left in utter solitude John Tutchin, whom he had sentenced to be flogged every fortnight for seven years, made his way irito the Tower, and presented himself before the fallen oppress, or. roor Jenreys, numoiea to tne ausi- behaved with abject civility, and called for wine. 'I am glad, he said, Ho see 'And I am answered the resentful whig, 'to see your lordship in this 'I served my said Jeffreys 'I was bound' in conscience to do 'Where 'was your conscience, said Tuchin 'when you passed that sentence on me at Dorcester 'It was set down iu my answered Jeffreys, fawningly 'that I was to show mercy to men like you, men of parts and courage.

When I went back to court, I was reprimanded for my Even Tutchin acrimonious as was his nature, and great was his wrongs, seems to have been a little mollified by the pit-able spectacle which he had at first con templated with vindicative pleasure. lie alw ays denied the truth of the report that he was the person who sent the Col chester barrel to the Tower. A more benevolent man, John Sharp, the excellent Dean of Norwich, forced himself to visit the prisons. It was a painful task, but Sharp had been treated by Jeffreys, in old times, as kindly as it was in the nature of Jeffrey to' treat anybody, and had once or twice been able, by patiently waiting until the storm of curses and invectives had spent itself, and bv dextrously seizins the moment of gooa humor, to obtain for unhappy fain. some mitigation of their sufferings.

The prisoner was surprised and pleased, he said, 'dare you own me now It was in train, however, that the amiable divine tried to give a salutary pain to that seared conscience. Jeffreys, instead of acknowledging his guilt, exclaimed ve hemently against the injustice of mankind 'People call me a murderer for doing what at the time was applauded by some who are now high in public favor. They call me a drunkard because I take punch "to relieve me itr my He would not admit that, as President of the High Commission, he had done anything that deserved approach. His colleagues, he said, were the real criminals and now thev threw all the blame on' him. He spoke with peculiar asperity of Sprat, who had undoubtedly been the most hu- mane and moderate member- of the board.

It soon became clear that the wicked judge was fast sinking under the weight of bodily and mental suffering. Doctor John Scott, perhendary of Saint Paul's, a clergyman of great sanctity, and author of the Christian Life, a treatise once widely renowned, was summoned, probably on the recommendation of his Intimate friend Sharp, to the bedside of the dying man. It was in vain, however, that Scott spoke, as Sharpe had already spoke, of the hideous butcheries of Dorchester and Taunton. To the last, Jeffreys continued to repeat that those who thought him cruel did not know what his orders were, that he deserved praise instead of bjame, and that his elemency had drawn on him the extreme displeasure of his master. Disease assisted by strong drink and misery, did its work The patient's stomach rejected all nourishmenl.

He dwindled in a few weeks from a portly and even corpulent man to a skeleton. On the 18th of April he died, in the 41st year of his age. He had bcin the Chief Justice of the King's Bench at 35, and Lord Chancellor at 37. In the whole history of the English bar there is no other instance of so rapid an elevation, or of so terrible a fall. The emancipated corpse was laid, with all privacy, next to the corpse of Monmouth in the chapel of the Tower.

received yours of Monday, 10th inst, last evening In which you "desire me to give you a full statement of all the facts concerning the last moments of Col. Aaron Burr," In compliance with your desire, I state That in -the summer, about the June, 1630, Col. A. Burr came to Port Richmond Hotel (Staten Island,) where ho took board, near which I then resided, as also did the relative and friend of Col. Burr, Judge Odgen Edwards.

The colonel (Burr) being a vol. etudinarinn, In feeble health, Judge Ed wards solicited me, as often as I conveniently could, to visit him and admlnistra-ter the consolations of religion to him, which, he said, was desired by Col. Burr and would be agreeable to him. Accordingly from that time until the 13th September, 1830, the day on which ho died at the said Port Richmond House, I visited him as a minister of the gospel once or twice a week. At these consecutive interviews I was uniformly received and entertained by him with his accustomed politeness and urbanity of manner.

The time spent with him at each interview, which was an hour, more or less, was chiefly employed in religious conver- sation adapted to his advanced ago, coiv eluded by prayer to 'Almighty God for the exercise of his great mercy, the influ ence of his holy spirit and divine blessing in all which he appeared to tuke nn inter est and bo pleased, and particularly would thank me for the prayers I offered up in his behalf, for my kind offices, and the in terest I took'in his spiritual welfare, saying it gave him pleasure to see me and hear my voice. When I reminded him of the advanta. ges he had enjoyed, of his honored and pious snchestry, his father a minister of the gospel, and President of the Col. lege" at Princeton, N. and his mother a descendent of the learned and celebra ted divine, Jonathan Edwards, and that doubtless imny prayers had gone up to heaven from the hearts of his parents for his well-being and happiness, it seemed to affect him; and when I asked him as to his views of the holy Scriptures, he res-1 ponded, "they were the most perfect system of truth the world had ever seen" So that, judging from his own declaration and his behavior to me as his spiritual adviser, he was not an atheist nor a deist.

I did not administer the Holy Sacrament to him. nor did he suggest or request me to do it, In regard to other topics, in the repeat ed coversations, he remarked that he was near Gen. Montgomery when he fell at Quebec and that, notwithstanding that disaster, if the army had pushed on they would have succeeded. At my last interview, with him, about 12 o'clock at noon, the day departed this life, about 2 clock p. m.

as aforesaid September 13, 1836, 1 found him as usual, pleased to see me, tranquil in mind, and not disturbed by bodily pain. Observing a paleness and change in his countenance and his pulse tremulous, fluttering, and erratic, I asked him how he felt. He re plied, Not so well as when I last saw him. I then said, Colonel, I do not wish to alarm you, but judging from the state of your pulse, your time with us is short. He replied, uIam aware of it," It was then near one o'clock f.

and his mind and memory seemed 'perfect. I said to him, In this solemn hour of your apparent dissolution, believing as you do in the sa. cred Ssiptures, your accountability to God, let me ask you how you feel in view of approaching eternity whether you have good hope through grace that all your sins will be pardoned, and that God, will in mercy pardon you for the sake of the merits and righteousness of his beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who in love sufler-ed and died for us the agonizing bitter death of the cross, by whom alone we can have the only sure hope of salvation To which he said, with deep and evident emotion, "On that subject I am coy." By which I understood him to mean that on a subject of such magnitude and momentous interest, touching the assurance of his salvation, he felt coy (cautious, as the vord denotes) to express himself in full confidence. With his usual cordial concurrence and manifest desire, we kneeled in prayer before the throne of heavenly grace, imploring God's mercy and blessing. He turned in his bed and put himself in an humble devotional posture, and seemed deep, ly engaged in the religious service, thank, ing me, as usual, for the prayer made for him.

Calm and composed, I recommended him to the mercy of God and to the word of his grace with a last farewell. At about 2 o'clock P. without a groan or struggle, he breathed his last. His death was easy and gentle as a taper in the socket, and as the summer wave that dies upon the shore. Thus died Col.

Aaron Burr. His funeral service was performed by me in the Port Richmond House, where he died. Thence we took his remains to the Chapel of Princetown College, New Jersy, where Dr. Carnaham, the President, and myself performed his last fune-ral service before the students, the faculty the cuttor, and not being willing to go afoot himself, he gallantly mounted the nag, and both parties rodo on their way rejoicing. More recently a lady was walking along South street, when one of the hoops, the ends of which had not been strongly secured togother, suddenly broke loose, and flying back with great force, tore completely through the outer garinont and struck a small boy who was standing on the side-walk, about twenty feet from the lady.

The small boy was taken home senseless, and It is foared will not recover. The hoop Is already re-eovertd, gTA citizen down east was dubbed "the little rascsl A friend once volunteered to ask him why he was called "the little rascal." "To distinguish me from my neighbors," said ho, "who ore all great rascals." "Tom," said a man to his friend, Li think it highly dangerous to keep the bills of small banks on hand nowadays," answered Tom, "find It more difficult than dangerous." The Siege of Sebastopol. The following' extract, by an English writer, presents vividly the fearful repulse of the Allies at the Malakoffand Redan, previous to'the full of Sebastopol A 8rd general bombardment opened on the 6th of June. At halt-past So'clock in the afternoon, the fire ot 157 English and 300 French guns and mortars simultaneously opened upon the town. The Rstesian reply was feoble, and inflicting but little damage upon our batteries.

A fierce can-nonade was maintained by the allies during that and the following day, and towards evening on the 7th, a grand combined attack was made by the English on the quarries, and by the French on the Mamelon. The former of these worKs, as me Dame implies, were pits from which stone had formerly been excavated for the buildings in the town, and occupied a position between the head of our advanced sap and the Great fte-dan, the most formidable work of Russian defence, aml-wmun in tne general pian ot attack had been apportioned to the English. The Mamelon, as it was specifically called the general term mamelon, a rounded hill, describing its appearance was the foremost of two similar eminences, at a short distance from each other. The one nearest the town was surmounted by the Malakoff tower and works, and was the most elevated and command position of the enemy's line of de fence the Mamelon, or Alamelon ert, as the French designated it, had long since lost all claim to the latter name, being excavated into trenches and rifle-pits, from wmch a most annoying fire was maintained npon the the French lines. Our allies had already, as we previously recorded, made a very gal lant though unsuccessful attempt at its cap ture and it was under tne cover ot its guns that the Russian sortie of the 22nd of March was made.

It was then, absolutely necessary that an endeavour ahonld be made by the besieg ing army to carry these formidable works, which presented such obstacles to their ad vance; and accordingly the evening of the 7th of June was fixed for the assault. At abont six o'olock tho French battalions, cho sen for the assault, consisting of the Algerine Zonaves, detachments of the 61st, 7th, and 50th regiments of the line, and of the Chas seur j-aFied and Imperial Guard, about, 1,200 men in all, moved up to the front, closely followed by the reserve or working party, to follow the attaoking column, and secure possession of the works. This second column, commanded by General Brunei comprised a battalion of tlie Chasseurs-a- Pied, and the lltti, 2Dtn, tjutn, ana loth reg iments of the line. General Bosquet was entrusted with the entire direction ot the as sault. Onr attacking force was composed of de tachments from the light and second divis ions.

About 400 men from the 1 8th, 7th 47th, 49th, were told off to lead the assault, nnder the immediate command of Colonel Shirley, of the 90th regiment. The working parties were selected from the remaining regiments of the light division the main body remaining nnder arms in reserve. Immediately the signal rockets took their night towards the town, the attaoking columns darted forward. The active French troops swarmed up the sides of the Mamelon, and in a few momentB were in hand to-hand contest with the Russian defenders. "With an unusual supineness the batteries of the town offered no impediment to the advance.

It might be that tlie fierce bombardment to whieh for twenty-four hoars they had been exposed, had temporarily -silenced them Whatever might be the cause, but little op- pesition was sustained by, and scarcely and loss inflicted on, the attacking columns, who reached the parapet on the crown of the hill at a rapid pace. Here the enemy made a stand, and for a brief space strnggled brave ly to maintain their position. It was, how ever, bnt an ineffectual effort. The French fonght with the stmost daring and the enemy giving way before the impetuous on slaught, retreated down the hill, the French in eager pursuit. In the valley, however, the Russians received large reinforcements from the Malakoff Tower on ths opposi te eminence, and a fierce fire was opened on the French from the batteries of the Malakoff.

Then the tide of battle turned; and the hitherto assailants, outnumbered, were driv en nn the hilL contesting every foot of ground. of the Zonaves, with characteristic daring, evading the attacking force, pressed onwards, and, as on the previous occasion, positively entered the Malakoff, and spiked some of the guns. Our allies, unable to bear the vigorons charge and overwhelming numbers of the cnemv, who now pressed upon them, were forced to relinquish tho hold they had obtained upon the Mamelon, and retreated over tho brow of the hill, relnctantly relinquishing the advantage they had gained. Tlie French, after a brilliant attack, were driven back by the reinforced defenders of the hill, and the Russians were once more masters of. the ilamolon.

General Bosauet, however, was not the man to accept a repulse ns final defeat. Reforming the column in the trenties nt the foot of tho bill, and. sending fresh troops to their assistance, he prepared for a second as sault. This time the French, eager to retrieve their disaster, rushed forward with emulous bravery, and again the bill side was covered with the advancing columns, pressing awards to the attack.

Meanwhile the working party in their rear had speedily thrown no parapets and breast works.on the Russian side; and, although the from the town and the shipping In the larbotir played vigorously upon the hill, tlioy wero enabled to hold their Important acquisition. Farther to the right, the French had also attacked and carried, after considerable re1 sislunco, a lino of works leading to and fending Careening Hay, and connected with tho works of the Mamelon, known as the While Works. A number of guns wore taken, and the French were thns in possession of an access to the great harbour, and enabled to throw up works commanding the shipping. We have thtSs far related the varying for tunes of the French attack. Let us now turn to the English, assault on the Quarries, Simultaneously with the advance of our allies, Colonol Campbell threw his small foroe into tho Russian works, experiencing but trifling opposition and congratulating himself upon having so easily achieved his objeot.

Advancing beyond the Quarr'tos towards the Ro dan, there is no doubt the adventurous Eng. lish might even have entured that great work itself, so great was the confusion among the Russians, caused by the attack on the Mamelon, had they been in sufficient forceto warrant such a feat. The enemy, mustered their strength, and Colonel Campbell was forced, after a stubborn resistance. to yield his position. Three times did the small British force retreat from the Quarries, and as many times they retook them with the bavoDOts.

At length they were en abled to throw up an earthwork, which en sured their possession of tins important position. In one of the Russian attacks, an instance of individual prowess ocourred, which -obtained for the performer of it the rare hon. -our of being named, though a non-commissioned officer, in Lord Raglan's despatch. The assailing party had wavered a little before the sharp fire from the British muskets, when Lance-Corporal Quin, of the out of the work towards a Russian officer and fonr men, who had advanced somewhat in front of the main body of the enemy. With the butt end of his musket he brained one of the Boldiers, bnyouetted a second, and tho other two precipitately fled from the doughty corporal.

Then collaring the oflK administering a gentle stimulant with the point of his bayonet to quicken bis4-vance, he dragged him a prisoner into this work, in less time than we have occupied to tell the tale. The enemy loss must have been very great, judging by that which tho victors sus tamed in the two attacks. 4 no rencn loss about 60 officers, and 2,000 men killed and wounded and the Uritish, 38 omcers, and 365 rauk aud file. The new positions thus obtained by the allies were of the utmost importance, and mar terially affected the fortunes ot the siege. JNo time was lost by the engineers 6f both armies in securing their advantage, and strengthen-.

ing by fresh works the advanced trenches. Wow zigzags ana parallels were openea, proaching tho enemy's works, and the guns on the Mamelon were reversed, so as to bear upon the defences ot their late masters. Ten days later, the working parties of both armies having been incessantly employed in completing the trenches and establishing new batteries, Lord Raglan and General Pe-lissieT decided npon making a grand effort to obtain possession of the town, by a combined assault upon the Malakoffand tlie It was proposed to open a crashing Ore trom the allied batteries on the 17th of Juno, and immediately upon its cessation, before the enemy should have time to repair the dam age done to ins worKs, to assault in overwhelm oing force the two great works. Had this plan been adhered to, tho result would doubtless have been a tnumpnant, success. On the night of Sunday the 17th, the fire slackened, when darkness 'made it no longer possible to maintain it with precision.

B.Z daylight it would be renewed, and then, af ter two hours more cannonading, tne assault was to be made. For some reason, however, General Relissier sent word to Lord Raglan that he should not wait for the renewal of the should order his troops to the attack at daybreak. This, of course, disconcerted the plans ot the English general. He felt bound in honour to support the French aftack, while he was fully aware of the great disadvantage under which the as- saulting columns would labour, it being no- torious that the Russians were unflagging in. their efforts to repair by night the damage sustained in the day, and would in all proba-.

bility be prepared with fresh guns to meet the assault. General Pelissier divided his attacking force into three columns, numbering altogether about 25,000 men. The first, nnder -General Mayran, was to assault the extreme left of the Rustian line; the second, in the centro, led by General ISrunet, was to turn the Malakoff on its proper left whilo the third, under General D'Autemarre, was to operate upon its right. The Imperial Guard was held in reserve, and two batteries of artillery occupied the Mamelon. The signal for advance was to be three rockots fired from-the Lancaster battery, whish General Pelis- sier had chosen as his pof-ition of observation.

By an unfortunate mistake, General Mayran mistook the flaming fuse ot a bomb-shell for the rocket, and eager for the fray, led his division rapidly forward. It was now apparent that the enemy had full notice of our intended attack. Not only the batteries were fully armed, but the steamers were anchored so as to be able to pour their broadsides upon the French columns. Generals Ssnrin and De Failly, obedient to the commands of their general, dashed forward, followed at an impetuous pace by their troops. Then the Russians opened fire from their batteries and.

steamers, and a hurricane, of shot and shell arrested the career of the brave French'; and their leador, General Mayran, paid the penalty of his mistake, fallingmortally wounded at their head. General Pelissier had now ar- rived npon the scene of action, and perceiving "the error, at once ordered up reinforcements to the threatened division, which, strengthened by theaddition of the voltigeurs of the Gnard, some regiments of the line.and a battalion of grenadiers, was enabled to maintain its position under the orders of GenorHl Be Failly, who succeeded to the command, though prevented by the deadly fire of the enemy from advancing further. The centre column, under General Brunet, had little better success than the other division. In fact the unlucky mistake of May. ran, in precipitating the attack, had disorder-.

ed the entire plan of advnncj, and aroused tlia Russians, and enabled them to concentrate their strength for defence. General Brunet himself was struck in the chest by a musket-ball; and his division was forced to retire to Uio trenches with great loss. Gener- al D'Antemarre, who commanded the left aW tack, no sooner saw tTio preconcerted than he gave the word to advance, and th 51 Foot Chasseurs and the first battalion of 19lh regiineiit of i he line, deploying to the lift, along the crest of the ravine which Continued on fovrlh Pag.

The last days of Jeffreys, one of the 1 Atrocious Judges. Among the many offenders whose names were mentioned in the course of these inquiries, was one who stood alone and unapproached in guilt and infamy, and whom whigs and tories were equally willing to leave to the extreme rigor of the law. On that terrible day which was succeededby- the Irish night, the roar of a great city disappointed of its revenge had followed Jeffreys to the drawbridge of the Tower. His imprisonment was not strictly legal but he at first accepted with thanks and blessings the protection which those dark walls, mudo famous by so many crimes and sorrows, afforded him against the fury of the, multitude. Soon, however, he became sensible that his wife was still in imminent peril.

For a time he flattered himself with the hope that a wiit of habea corpus would liberate him from his confinement, and that he should be able to steal away to some foreign country, and to hide himself with part of his ill-gotten wealth from the detestation of mankind but, till the government was settled, there was no court competent to grant a writ of and, as soon as the govern ment had been settled, the habeas corpus act was suspended. Whether legal guilt of murder could be brought home to Jeffreys may be doubted. But he was morally guilty of so many murders, that if there had been no other way of reach ing his life, a retrospective Act of Attain der would have been clamorously de manded by the whole nation. A dispo sition to triumph over the fallen has never been one of the besetting sins of Englishmen but the hatred of which Jeffreys was the object was without a parallel in our history, and partook but too largely of the savageness of. his own na ture.

The people, where he was concerned. were as cruel as himself, and exulted in his misery as he had len accustomed to exult in the misery of convicts listening t6 the sentence of d-ath, and of families clad in mourning. The rabble congrepa' ted before his deserted mansion in Duke street, and read on the door, with shouts of laughter, the bills which announced the sale of nia property. Even delicate who had tears for highwaymen and housebreakers, breathed nothing but vengeance against him. The lampoons jnhim which were hawked about the town were distiguished by an atrocity rare eren in those days.

Nay, the rage of his enemies was such that, in language seldom heard in England, they proclaimed their wish that he might go to the place of wailing and gnashing teeth, to the worm that never dies, a the fire that is never quenched. They ex horted him to hang himself in his garters, and to cut his throat with a razor. They put up horrible prayers that he might not be able to repent, that he might die the same hard-hearted, wicked Jeffreys that he hid lived, His spirit, as mean in adversity as insolent anu in uaanu BnJer the load of ru til io nunorrence.
