his imagination, I took off my large black hat, and us- mg it fora shield, began to thrust it towards his gaping jaws. My ruse had the desired effect; for after spring- ing at me a few times, he wheeled about, and trotted off several paces, and stopped to gaze at me. Being apprehensive that he might change his mind and return to the attack, and conscious that, under the compromise, { had the best of the bargain, I very resolutely took to my heels, glad of the opportunity of making a drawn game, though I had myself given the challenge.—Journal of aSanta Fe Trader.

AcricutturaL.—The following Letter from Judge Peters to the Secretary of the Royal Agricultu- ral Society may be interesting to our country readers:

‘Sipmounr, October 28, 1848. ‘Dear Sir;

‘As! think much useful information might be ob- tained, if, when trials are made of newly imported seed, the results, as compared with other kinds, were com- municated to the Agriculteral Society, I beg to inform you that I received a peck of the White Oats imported by the Society last Spring, which | sowed on a ley ploughed last Fall; it was much lodged by the heavy rains, and it ripened later than the other oats; its pro- duce is three bushels—weighing 35 lbs. per bushel— being at the rate of 48 bushels per acre.

‘On three-fourths of an acre, of the same field, I sowed the three bushels Black Oats, which took the first prize at the last Grain Show—its yield was 33 bushels, weigh- ing 34 lbs. per bushel; being at the rate of 44 bushels per acre,

‘On the other quarter of the same acre, | sowed one bushel of Capt. Swabey’s Tartary Oats—it produced 134 bushels, weighing 33 lbs. per bushel; being at the rate of 54 bushels per acre. ‘The yield of Straw of this last was much greater than the others, and it did not lodge with the heavy storms by which the two first were quite beaten down.

‘fT remain, Sir, ‘ Your obedient Servant, ‘JAMES H. PETERS. ‘The Secretary of the Agricultura! Society.’

Piovesine Matrcu.—A Ploughing Match took place on Tuesday last, at ‘ Binstead,’ the Farm of Charles Braddock, East River. There were a good num- ber of Farmers collected together, all of whom appear- ed to take a lively interest in the proceedin'zs of the day. Nine Ploughs started. The money aw:,rded as pre- riums to competitors, amounting to 6l. 18s, 9d., was raised by private subscription. One of the competitors, John MecLauchilan, had but one arm, and we understand his work was done exceeding well. The following are the names of the competitors:

Goov Susscrisers.—Tue Way to Sopp. port A Newsparer.—-About three weeks ago We took a ride to the Eastward, with the view of informing our Subscribers about the ‘Ten Mile House, Tracadie, Fort Augustus, St. Andrew’s and St. Peter’s, that we were in positive need of remuneration for the fifteen months’ service we had rendered them and others by editing printing and publishing THe Examiner. We gay many of them—those we did not see were to be inform. ed by those we did, respecting the object of our yigit. Although we are required every week to make payment in cash for journeymen’s wages, printing paper, fuel, candlelight, and a hundred other things, we asked none of our subscibers in the direction in which we travelled for cash, because we believed it was not to be had, but we asked them to send potatoes or grain, which we knew they had, to the Agent at St. Andrew’s who would cause them to be shipped on board of either one of two vessels then lying at Mount Stewart Bridge. All we saw were only “too happy to comply with our request” —* it was such a fine opportunity” —*« they were so glad we would take potatoes”—in short, we thoudht that our indulgence in this respect earned for us the eternal good will of our subscribers, and we rode on, thinking, what a lucky editor we were—calculating how many hundred bushels would be shipped to mar- ket, and how many hundred shillings would be return- ed. Wespentthree days on this errand, at an actual cost of about 10s. a day, without making any allow- ance for our time, which should be worth 10s, more per day. We don’t know whetber or not our credibility will be shaken by the fact we are going to assert, but we most solemnly avow that only one load of potatoes was carried to St. Andrew’s intended for us, and that not one bushel has been shipped on our account; so we find that horse-flesh, money, and time, have aij been spent to no purpose. What considerate, excel- lent people those subscribers are!—how well’ they know how to supporta newspaper, at a time, too, when its enemies increase, and when Government officials threaten a prosecution for advocating opinions which many of them entertain! How richly they deserve to have a man wearing out brain and body to provide sus- tenance for their minds! but whether he needs any sus- tenance for his body, is a thing which they (good, kind souls!) never think worth considering. If, in our poli- tical opposition to the Islander, we carried our animosity so far, as to wish that Mr. Ings’s office might “ go to pot” as speedily as possible, and himself die of starvation, we would only ask about one half of our subscribers to transfer their patronage to him.
