Dear Junius : Alter restin"; mvsclf and attending. to some private business, since my return from II, I have, in compliance wilh my promise, re-seated myself at the same old family table to give vou the bal lance shcel of .my letter; and nothing but the Governor's, or the arrival of some other important personage, shall prevent me from executing my purpose. My visit to H was shorty being confined to a couple of days only. It occurs to my mind, that between you and some of its inhabitants a friendly intei course once existed, but I suppose dis tance and time may have weaned you from them, and new acquaintances having form ed new friendships, you may have "forgot ten the old, or esteem them less than the new. During my stay in that hospitable bor ough, a report was industriously circulated that your Nephew, IIardwick, had been engaged in a duel with s une jackanapes like himself, and the cause was traced to a cer tain fair one with whom each became ena mored. Can t lie report be true? I. hope, for the honor of Christianity, and for his reputa tion's sake, the rumor is groundless. In the world's eye, it is honorable to resent an injury, but it is the essence of Christi anity to forgive one. When will man cense to shed the blood of his fellowman? When will he discov er the heinousness of sin and its damning effects? When will he begin to fear God and love the way of holiness ? When will 1e set about reforming his life, and doing that which is lawful and right in the sight of God ? I pause for an answer to these questions. Your old associate Colden, not content ed with a comfortable subsistence in the State which gave him birth, has gone to seek a larger fortune in the South or Wrest. I wish his expectations may be realized, but I entertain -serious fears that he will meet the same mishaps and disappointments as other emigrants have done, in their search after wealth in those newly settled regions. His son, Nicholas who was once much esteemed fur his sobriety and moral character, has lost every farthing of his property by associating with the drunk ard and gambler, and unless arrested in the heedless course he is now pursuing, he must fall a wretched victim to the detesta ble crime of Intemperance. Have you a relish for the inebriating poison ? Do you indulge yourself, daily, in one, two or more frequent potations of this murderous liquid, this curse to the soul ? If you have acquired the first, which will most certainly lead to the indulgence of the other, permit me as a friend to, and lover of your soul, to warn you of the fatal con sequences resulting from its use. Intemperance begets innumerable evils and is the source from whence discontent, peevishness and every other pernicious pas sion arises. Imagine to yourself the drunk ard's case, his property squandered to the four quarters of the globe, his wife and chil dren beggared, his wretched self the subject of disease, which tho' slow in its progress is certain ;n its result. lie is cut down by death's resistless power, and descends to the grave unregretted and unwept, and his name is soon erased from memory's page. With nominal Christians, you believe the Bible to be the ivord and tail of God to man. On a careful examination, you will find that sacred and most valuable volumn, declares "No drunkard shall or can en ter into the kingdom of Heaven." Do you believe that solemn declaration emanated from the mind of the Eternal and was penned by inspiration ? Have you never reilccted upon the doom which awaits the drunkard, on committing suicide with the weapon of intemperance ? If you have, you cannot, with these truths staring you in the face, handle nor taste the unclean thing the detestable liquid which has destroy ed millions 'and consigned them to an un timely grave. But if you have commenc ed a servitude under the direction of Satan, let me beseech you to think awhile on your steps. Look around you and behold the direful effects of intemperance, which is the door through which its votaries pass to the commission of other and more heinous sins. Abandon every evil practice, discard every sinful passion,' and with the sincerity of a true penitent, repair to the cro&s of Calvary and ask an interest in Emanuel's blood. Search the Scriptures diligently and carefully; they will direct you the way to Heaven and teach you the nature of true Religion. You cannot be ignorant of the right way; search for it until you find it, walk m it with a steady and unflagging pace. Life is uncertain, and your jour ney on earth may be near its close; then no longer delay in making choice of the way of righteousness. A very small portion of time may be remaining to you ; then flee to Chrit for safety, take his yoke upon you. it is easy to wear, anu learn or mm tne way of salvation, lest the darkness of death overtake you, before your soul shall have found redemption in his blood." I recommend the perusal of Baxter's Call to the unconverted, which is a small work, but contains a great deal of some thing which will benefit your soul if you peruse it with a proper spirit. You must be born again, you must be dead to the world and alive to God, you must cast off the works of darkness and walk in the light which is reflected from the Son of Righteousness, and which his gospel dilluses, vou must hate those things I you now love, and love those you now hate; you must exchange earth and earthly things, lor God and Heaven, if you wih to be crowned with glot v and honour bevond the tomb. I have now effected my purpose. The task of writing you has been performed, and I hope the advice I have given may be as ' bread cast upon the waters which may be found after many days." If mv admonitions shall awaken vou to a proper view of your situation ; if my per suasions shall drive you to repentance, and that ripens into holiness of heart and life, I shali rejoice in God, in being made the humble instrumentof bringing one soul from nature's darkness to the marvellous light of the Gospel : Our days are few, and short at best, Then let us all prepare To meet in God's eternal rest, And nowhere else but there. May you and I, and all we love, Prove faithful to the end, We'll then a seat secure above, With Christ, our constant friend. "Where wc shall live and sing God's praise, With alt our voices, all our powers, Look on his lory with amaie,, A nd own him ever, always ours. I shall never cease to pray for you. SUMMERFIELD. For thk Rkgisteii. Execution of a youth for murder, commut ed at a grocery, while drunk. By a Minister of the'Gjospel, in Illinois. "The evening before his execution, 1. asked him, if he had any request, to leave behind. "Yes," said he promptly, "Tell every young man not to drink liquor; tell them to fl from it, as the root of all evil it has brought me to this dungeon, and caused these heavy irons to be bound on my feet and hands." 1 attended him at the gallows, and before three thousand persons did I hear him, in tones that ought to have melted eve ry heart, tell them that " liquor was the cause by which he was doomed to die." To use ti is own words: " Yrou see before you, a young man, 18 years old, who is to die in less than two hours; and what do you think brought him here? I wil tell you ; it was intoxicating liquor that did it. And in the deepest agony of soul, he would ex claim, "It was liquor, liquor, that brought me to this dreadful end !" He again warn ed young and old, not to touch liquor; and poor Faime died with the words upon his lips, "it was liquor that brought me to the gallows!" AndOh'.jhow 1 wished every grog-seHer, could have heard him, and if their hearts were not as hard as a rock, they must have been touched. It made m) heart bleed to see the young man sent into eter nity by the agency of the spirit-seller." CLERICUS. Bishop Moore left our City on Tuesday last, and proceeded to the North, to visit his children and friends. On Sunday last, he administered the com munion to his flock, at the Monumental Church, of which he has been, for twenty seven j'ears, the Rector. . As he stood in the Chancel, holding in his trembling hand the elements he was a bout to administer, he paused, and casting a look of tenderness upon the group thatknelt around the Chancel, said "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the. world to save sinners," and it is a bless ed thought that this institution of his dvkigr love, which we are now commemorating. Was not constituted for angels and saints but for men and women it is constituted for beings like ourselves, sinners sensible of their sin, and to those who come to this table deeply and humbly sensible of their defieiencies, this Sacrament will be meat and drink indeed. Come, then, my chris tian brethren and sisters cast all your care upon Christ, ami he will be to you an all suificient Saviour. "This is a season of the year when many of us are contemplating an absence from mmp. nnrl nfenn ! i n nr In mv nunl pnetnm I I have called you together before our de parture, to partake once more of the Lord's supper, that if it should be li ts sovereign will to permit us to meet no more in this i.i :i. l i : world, we might have the pleasing reflec tion, that our last interview was at the table of our blessed Lord." Southern Churchman. Two children of John Warren, 4 or 5 miles West of this place, were killed by lightning on the 29th of last month. Both parents were from home. The children, a little boy and girl, were under an apple tree in the yard, the little girl with a knife in her .hand, when the lightning struck the tree which it slightly injured. The fluid was probably attracted toward the, children by the knife. Both were f.und lying to gether lifeless. Greensborough Patriot. JVorthy of Attention.

Mr. Cohnan's Second Report on the Agriculture of .Massachusetts. EXTRAORDINARY COWS. "I shall ..rive an account of some remark- able rinimals which have been found' among J what are called our native cattle. It is not pretended that they constitute a distinct race or characterize a particular class of animals ; but they show al least what ma terials are within our reach, upon which to build a stock of high character. A cow of Samuel D. Colt, of Pittsfield, from 1st December to 27th April, 148 days, produced 193 lbs of butter. A cow owned by R. Campbell, of Pitts field, has yielded i!0 beer qts. of milk per day. A cow, owned by Hosea Merrill, gave 30 beer quarts of milk per day. A cow owned by. D. Fenn, of Stock bridge, 8 years old, produced in one week 121bs. 9 oz . of butler. During the same time, 10 quarts of milk were sold, and in addition cream and -milk were used freely in the family. ! A cow owned by Calvin Davis, 4 years old in the Spring of 1838," in 172 "days, produced 225 lbs. of butter, and a fatted calf. An accidental injury to the cow, prevented a continuance of making butter. Two cows of Wm. -Dewey, of Alford, in good season, averaged for a length of time, 14 lbs. of butter each per week. A cow belonging to to the late Dr. Hyde, of Stockbridge, for some time, pro duced 14 lbs. of butter per week, Two cows in Vandensenville, produced 14 lbs. of butter each per week. A cow belonging to Milliard, of Egremont, produced 14 lbs. of butter per week. Sisrorn. two cows belonging to Russell Rrejvn, in Cheshire, besides the free use of milk and cream in the family, 90 lbs. of butter were produced and sold in three weeks, and in four successive weeks, 114 lbs. A. cow owned in Stockbridge, by Mr. Stephen Williams, produced as follows : In 321 successive days, 331 lbs. butter. 284 " 293 " , 306 " " 318 " 911 days. 942 lbs. The above is exclusive of 25 lbs. made while fattening three calves. He adds : " My method of keeping has been grass only, from spring to fall. In the fall I be gin with pumkins and potatoes, and feed moderately during the time she gives milk. An account has been kept for only three years ; but it would not vary much from the above, for the 12 seasons 1 have had her, except the present season she has been farrow." The cow is now 18 years old, " and will calve about the middle of February." Two cows owned in Pittsfield, produced each 50 lbs. of milk per day ; and one other 32 at a milking. A cow owned by Thomas Hodges, in ! North Adams, produced last year 42d lbs. of butter; 400 lbs of this amount were made in nine months.. Her feed consisted of one quart of rve m6ra and a half peck of potatoes per day, and a very gnoJ Pasture. To this list I will add the ease of another cow in the neighboring county, whose pro duct must be considered quite as extraor dinary. Site is owned by Joseph F. Up ton, of Ashfield, Franklin county. From the lslt of April, 1837, to the mid dle of February, 1838, her product was 335 lbs. 15 oz . From the 9ih of May, 1838, to the 28th of December, 1838, she has produced 303 lbs 3 oz. af butter, and was still making at the rate of one pound per day. - ( The owner adds: "In the year 18o7, I : i;jieci my calf at three days old, and o-ave my cow the skimmed milk through tne summer. I commenced the first of Oct. to feed upon potatoes. I gave her about one peck per day boiled, as long a3 she milk In tf 1838 l falteneti I f my calf and killed it at four weeks old. It weighed 75 pounds. She has had nothing but grass this year, until the first of Oct. since then I have fed her with one peck of boiled potatoes per day. My cow is seven years old last spring." tier winter-keep at present, while giving milk, is as much hay as she will eat, and one peck of boiled potatoes per day. The cows are all of native stock, without any admixture of for eign blood. The; three cases of largest product certainly cannot be considered as examples of high feeding. It is extremely desirable that some skilful farmer should; by a judicious selection from such animals a3 these, endeavor to form an improved race for the dairy. I have already said that this has been attempted by one gentleman in the State. I will mention an interesting fact, com municated to me by an observing farmer of Stockbridge Thirty-two vears since, this day: she has never produced a bad milker, and some of her descendants, own ed by other persons in the village, do equal credit to their parentage. The yield of one of them, which came within rhy knowledge, is twentv quarts per day." Arguments ros tsilk growing. The! Norfolk Herald conies -up to the work of pushino on this great business in thlat quar ter, with a vigorous cogent pen.- Alluding to some samples sent him by a friend from u...r. t K XT' o i... 1,1 "rm-o.wu. . e JVS : " U indeed that portion of our lowland population who attach themselves from childhood to the semi-barbarous occupa tions of gathering wortleben h?s to sell and of crabbing, clamming, fishing, coon and 'possum hunting, etc., for their sub . sislence, would devote a portion of their time to raising silk worms, they nvght, with certainty, in the course of a few years, acquire a competence sufficient to keep them beyond the reach of want, and that without half the labor they are compelled to put forth in these vagarant pursuits, which barely-keep them beyond the verge of starvation. In a few years the multi caulis mulberry will' be abundant, and common as duck-weed, and with the labor of I cultivating a few squares of cabbage in his garden, a farmer may raise silk enough from the sale of which to lay up a hand some income, without; interfering wiUV his agricultural pursuits. ; In the mean time, however, while the multicaulis is maturing to this point, the common white mulberry, almost a spontaneous growth about the country, may be used with great advan tage and profit, as the quality of the silk which our friend has sent us from Mur freesborough will testify." 3Iorus Multicaulis. We have just seen a gentleman, who informs us that he has, within a few days, sold 10 acres of Mortis Multicaulis, now growing on his place near this city, for thirty eight thousand and some odd hundred dollars. Baltimore Post. Morus Multicaulis. We learn that trees are now selling in this market for two cents an eye, and trees from the eye raised this season, will command $1 per tree, without the root. The cultivation of this plant bids fair to be as profitable as it was the last season. From a recent calculation, it has been ascertained that all tne plants in the United States would not supply even the State of Virginia, if silk were to become ( as it probably will ) a staple of the coun try. Edenton Sentinel. A Doctor going into his boarding house, and not finding dinner ready, exclaimed,- " What ! are there no symptoms of dinner yet?" "No appearance," replied a law yer. There's a sample of it," said a mer chant, as a servant appeared wilh a turkey : " Faith ! and a fine token it is," rejoined a Printer." " Para avis. The Editor of the Barnstable Patriot lately saw a white blackbird, among a large flock which alighted in a wheat field. It was of a snowy whiteness, with the exception of a narrow strip of black on its breast. It was probably an albino. Does it ever occur to the people, that the tax upon every man, woman, and child, in the United States, for the support of Gov ernment, is now one dollar and fifty cents a year more than it was under the adminis tration of John Q. Adamsi? Thus the man who has a family often persons, pays fif teen Dollars a year more towards the sup port of Government, than he did ten years ago. Is this the "reform" that General Jackson discerned ?o legibly inscribed upon a c rtain banner he s;oke of, on his inauguration day ? Wilmington Chron. Political Judges. The Louisville Journal of a late date savs : " Several Mis sissippi Locofocos, and, among the rest, S J.
