SHEEP AND TURNIP HUSBANDRY IN ENGLAND.

Handsin-hand these husbandries have done more for agriculture than | aught else since the world was civilized. It is the immense quantity of turnips, mangel wurzel, and swedes eaten by sheep on the land, that chiefly keeps up the fertility ot the arable soil,and causes the yield of wheat, barley, oats, beans, and peas to in- crease todouble the number of vwushels which were furmerly grown. This has been done, too, while in the United States exactly tue opposite has been accomplish-~

ed, for here the yield of wheat, barley, and oats has become less than half what was grown in the days of yore. The hous. ing of sheep by night,in Summer, is a great detriment to the pasture they feed on, and the severity of the Winters in the North, making it necessary to take the turnips offthe land where grown, to be eaten in barns, is # drawback to the chief benefit of the crop for improving and ve- novating the soil.

Ingenuity is a characteristic of the American nation, and the man who shall invent & movable sheep pen, aftording shelter so that sheep canbe kept daily moved allover the fields, as the crop i- eaten, will be a benefactor to his country. have his name handed down to posterity, and as astill sharper spur to ingenuity. gather in the shekels abundantly; for, al- though the manure is good when made under cover, yet there is loss of urine, loss of time in hauling the turnip crop, and again in carting the manure. When this is made practicable, the swedes can be put into heaps of a load or two, on the field, just as isdonein England, and covered with earth sufficiently thick to keep out the frost." Then, witha crowbar or like implement, it will be easy to break into the heaps, cut them up with a machine and feed exactly is always done in England. in the open field.

The South will, doubtless, eventually, be the great sheep producing place, and there turnips can be grown and consumed by the sheep; but, by improving the grass land and contriving to have food pastures open: ed to them in Winter, and encouraging the best varieties of grass for a perman ency, very little roots of any kind would be necessary , as any quantity of mutton and woo! may be produced from stimulation by corn, peas, or grain. Nevertheless, «a heavy crop of swedes given toa flock otf sheep intended for the butcher, will bring them outin the Spring riper bya good deal, and not only will there be better and more mutton, but the wool will be corres. pondingly improved.

Sheep and turnip husbandry must be generally adopted in the United States to save the country from becoming a barren wilderness, for to such a condition it is, in reality, coming slowly but surely.— George Gardner inthe Rural New Yorker,

A WARNING TO LOVERS.

A Paris correspondent says :—A young woman being crossed in her affection re. solved to starve herself to death, and for three days refused food; when the quarrel was made up, it was found she could not eat, and now liesin a hopeless state. However, there are two young men in Paris, who take their daily bread directly into their stomachs by means of a silver tube, Butimagine Romeo thus nursing Juliet. A drunkard has abused the motto said to have been made for MacMahon; he declined to leave a dram shop, retorting. “Jy suis: fyreste.” The Seine is as sacred a river with some as the Ganges; an unfortunate man, disbelieving in the Saone took the express from Lyons to drown him- self in the Seine—* a river which conducts to paradise’; the police rescued him and placed him in a cell, as a half way house. The tribunial of Macon has condemned a shepher!, aged only sixteen, to be guillo- tined ; he waylaid ashepherdess, murdered her, violated her remains, and stole her ear-rings. How we are far from classical times ! I forgot, there is a cat exhibited in the fairof St. Cloud called Polyphemus, having but one eye, and in the centre of its forehead.

In New Or_eans.—!be quadroons of New Orleans are very handsome: ani it is an undoubted fact that there is more beauty to be found among them than any other class. Atthe quadroon balls a few octoroons will also occasionally be seen. The quadroons dress with as much taste as their more favored white sisters. They are generally of symmetrical build, smal] feet and hands, regular features and very expressive eyes. Itis rare to meet one of them that has not, at least, an ordinary common school education, while some have a® modern degree of culture and are fair musicians. Inthe balir »m they appear to advantage, becomingly and modestly at- tired, good dancers and easy in conversa- tion. They are not considered as belongs ing to the vulgarclass. ThePrench quads roons are descenied from the best Creole families. The quadroons are mostly aca quainted with their parent stock, and take great pride in mentioning that they are allied to thisor that one of the first fa milies,, Ine female quadroons very rarely associate with the black people of either |sex, They are devoted to the place of their birth, and few of them ever leave there. Strange to say, the females greatly outnumber the males.

New Yor«, Oct. 2—There is an inc in~ ation at military headquarters to discredit the report that Bullis and Shafter reckless- ly attacked the Mexican troops op Mexican territory. One officer at Gen. Hancock's office says though Bullis is known as a hots headed and brave officer, it is yet known that he had most positive orders from Gen. Ord to avoid anything like casus belli, be« cause it was not the policy of the United States to go to war forthe sake of 4d few traders on the Rio Grande, who are only too anxious to have a large army sent there. These instructions emanated from the de- partment of State. If Bullix has done any such. foolish thing as an attempt to occu

the town of Saragossa, he will doubtless get into serious trouble. Aji our own govern- ment want is to keep the Indians across the border, and do not want even to have ofs

ficial corresponcence, which will look hike a recognition of Diaz.
