BEST TIME FOR CUTTING WHEAT. A friend furnished us with a volume of the Cultivator for 1844. and called our at tention to the following experiment, per formed by a farmer. t determine tlu best time for cutting wheat. Ht lieving that some of our readers will be interested with the article at the present time, we transfer it to our columns : 1844. May 29. A few heads of wheat were cut from the field, when perfectly green, the grains having hardly attained full Mze. and being il in milk" or quite liq uid within. After drying several weeks, one hundred seeds were carefully weighed and found to weigh only twenty gruins. They were nlino.-t shrunk to ekftft June 4. Other heads were cut in the game way they had just begun to IHUW a perceptible shade of yellow. One hun dred seeds weighed when wr'A dried. 35 grs. or nearly double the first. June 11. Other heads were cut, they J i had changed about one-third in color, the grain in the dough state. One hundred ecds weighed -ItJ grains, and would be re garded a. a fair specimen of ordinary wheat. June J 5. Mostly became yellow a few ftreaks of decided green near the tips of the chaff heads ejuite erect. After cutting in this stiite, and drying some weeks, tin feeds were very plump and fine looking. 100 weighing 53 grains. Juue 29. Heads dead ripe and curved downward. 100 seeds weighing 5-1 grains, being two grains lighter than the last, which would be a loss of about one bushel to eve ry twenty-seven, hy cutting it dead ripe, instead of two weeks earlier us in the abore instance besides the loss by shelling, and the inferiority of the straw. J. J. THOMAS. Cl'TTIXG TlMBEaT.. If oak, hickory or chestnut timber is felled on the eighth month (August) in the second running of the .-np, and barked, quite a large tree will season perfectly, and even the twigs will remain sound for years ; wlicrcas that cut in winter and remuinjng till next fall as thick as ooava wrist, will be sap-rotten, and will be almost useless for any purpose. the body of the oak split into rails will last inore than ten or twelve years. Hickory rutin that month is not subject to bo worm I'uten. and will last a long time for fencing. When I commenced farming in 1820, it was the custom to cut timber for post fenc ing in the winter. White oak post and black oak rails cut at that time, I found would not last more than tenor twelve years. In the year 1828 I commenced cutting fence timber in the eighth month. Many of the rails cut that year are yet sound, as well as those formed of chestnut. If the bark is not taken off this month, however, it will peel off itself the second or third year, nnd leave the sap perfectly sound. The tops of tree arc also more valuable for fuel than when cut in the winter or spring. I advise young farmers to try the experi ment for themselves, and if the post fences will not last twice as long, I forfeit nil my experience as worthless. To Oi.KAx Wall P.vfkk. Soiled wall papers may bo made to look as well almost as new, in most cases, by the following ex pedient; Take about two quart of wheat bran, tie It up in a bundle of course flannel, and rub it over the paper. It will cleanse the whole paper of all description of dirt and spots, better than any other mentis that ean be used- Some- use bread, but dry bran is better." ttt A Hint. If your flat irons nro rough and smoky, lay a little fine salt on a flat surface and rub then) well; it will prevent them from sticking to any thing starched and make them smooth. -B- f , NONSUITING A CREDITOR. There was a lawyer on Cape Cod, a long time ago, the only one in those 'diggins' then, and, for nught I know, at present. lie was a man well to do in the world, and what was somewhat surprising in a limb of tho law, averse to litigation, One day a client came to him in a violent rage : "Lock a here. Squire," said he, 'a blast ed shoemaker down in the Pigion Grove has gone and sued me for the money for a puir of boots I owed hint." 'Did the boots suit you?" "Oh ves." W "Well, why don't you pay him?" "Why, because the blasted snob went nnd sued me, and I want to keep him out of bis money, if I kin." "It will cost you something." "I don't care for that. How much do you want to go on with ?" "Oh, ten dollars will do." 'Is that all ? Well hero's ton dollars," so go ahead, and the client went off verv well satisfied with the beginning. Our lawyer next called on the shoema ker, and asked him what he ment by insti tuting legal proceedings against M. "Why" said he, "I knew he was able to pay, and I was determined to make him. That's the long and short of it." "Well," said the lawyer, "he's always been a good customer to you ; 1 think you acted too hastily. There's a trifle to pay on account of your proceedings, hut I think you had better take these fixe dollars and call it square." 'Certain, Squire ; if you say so, and glad to get it, was the answer. So the lawyer forked over one five, and kept the other, In a few days his clieut came along, and asked hijn how he got on with his case. "Rapidly," cried the lawyer, "we've non suited him ! He'll never trouble you." "Jerusalem! That's great ! I'd rather pn fifty dollars than had him get the money for them boots!" I WISH SOMEBODY D COME. The flowers ire blooming on the lawn, The birds are singing tree. And everything hs lull of life And happiness but me ; The flowers look strangely dull today, They are shadowy as my dreams, And very lonely seem to me The sunlight's golden gleams. As lor the bird.

Woman's Rights. A carious trial was recently held at Middlesex Sessions, in Eng land. Thomas Saverland. the prosecutor, stated that on the day after Christmas he was in the room where the defendant, Car oline Newton, and Iter sister, who had come from Birmingham, were present. The lat ter jokingly observed tl.t she had promised her sweetheart that no man should kiss her while absent. It being holiday time, Sav erland considered this a challenge, nnd caught hold of her and kissed her. The young woman took it as a joke, but her sis ter, the defendant, said that she would like as little o." that fun as he pleased. Saver land told her if she was angry he would kiss her also; he then tried to do it, nnd they fell to the ground. On rising, the woman struck him; he again tried to kiss her, and in the scuffle she bit off his nose, which she spit out of her mouth. The action was brought to recover damages for the loss of the nose. The defendant said he had no business to kiss her; if she wanted kissing she had a husband to kiss her a better lookiti"- mun than ever the prosecutor was. The jury without hesitation acquitted her; and the chairman said, that if any man at tempted to kiss a woman against her will, she hud n right to bite oft bis nose if she , had u fancy for so doing. - Amokous Firearms. In Newcastle, Pa., Srtrn'l Cannon has been fined ten dol lars for kissing Rebecca Ross against her will. On paying the fine and costs, Can non was discharged. We suppose he was loaded with "grape" at the time of the oc currence. NOTICE.

A young mechanic or clerk marries and takes a house, which be proceeds to furnish twice as expensively as he ean afford, and then his wife, instead of taking hold to help him to earn a livelihood, by doing her own work, must have a hired servant to help her spend his limited earning. Ten years af terwards, you will find him struggling un der a double load of debts and children, wondering why the luck was always against him, while his friends regard his unhappy destitution of financial ability. Had they from the first been frank and honest, he need not have been so unlucky. The world is full of people who can't imagine why they don't prosper like their neighbors, when the real obstacle is not in banks or tariffs, in bad public policy nor hard times, but in their own extravagance and heedless ostentation.

TIVE, is, no doubt, the most wonderlul discovery ol this age of progress, tor it will lestore, permanently, gray hair to us original color, cover the head ot the bald with a most luxuriant giowih, remove at once all dandruff and itching, cure all scorfula and other cutaneous eruptions, such ns schaldhead, etc. It will cure, as it by ma;ic, ner vous or periodical headache; make the hair soft, glossy and wavy, and preserve the color perfectly, and the hair trom falling, to extreme old age. We could give the testimony of more than one hundred thousand to the truth of every word we have written. See circular and the following : Th- following is from a distinguished member of the medical protcssion : St. Paul, January 1, 1835. Professor O. J. Wood Dear Sir : Unsolicited, I send you this certificate. Alter being nearly bald for a long time, and hav ing tried all the hair restoratives extant, ai,d hav ing no faith in any, I was induced, on hearing ot yours, to give it a trial. I placed mysell in the hands of a barber, and had my head tucb d with a good stiff brush, and the restorative then applied, and well rubbed in, till the scalp was a glow. This I repeated every moiniiiL', and in ilnee weeks the young hair appea.ed, and grew rapidly from August last till the present time, and is now (hick, black, and stron solt and pleasant to the touch; where as, before, it was harsh and wiry, what little there was of it, nnd that little was disappearing very rapidly. I still use your restorative about twice a wc-k, and shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair. Now, it I had read of these things and who has not? but have not seen hitherto any case where any person's hair was really benefited by any of the hair tonics, etc., of the day; and it really gives me pleasure to record the result of my exper. lence. 1 have rtcommendt d your preparation to others, and it already has a large and general sale throughout ihe Territory. The people here know its effects, and have confidence in it. The supply you sent us, a-s wholesale agents lor the Territory, is nearly exhausted, aud daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve credit lor vou: discovery ; and I, for one, return you my ihank9 for the benefit it has dne me, for I certainly had despaired long ago of evei effecting any such result. Yours, hastily, J. W. BOND. Firm of Bond Sf Kellog, Druggist: The undersigned, Rev. J. K. Braes, is a minister in regular standing, and pastor of the Orthodox church, at Brookfield, Mass.

Professor Wood Dear Sir: Having made trial of your HAIR RESTORATIVE, it gives me pleasure to say, hat its effect has been excellent in removing in flammation, dandruff, and a constant tendency to itching, with wfiich ! have been troubled from my childhood; and has also restored my hair, which was becoming gray, to its original color. 1 have used no other article, with anything like the same pleasure and profit. Yours, truly, J. K. BRAGG. 114 Market St., St. Loui, March 5, 1855.
