John Masters A sketch. We are not ure th.it our Know Nothingism will alio w as to do ft Dutch man justice in an agricultural sVctch, We will try however, and if the sub ject does not like the picture, ho need not take it, and wo will not charge hira any thin. Moreover wo will ihow that wo practice upon our own politics, by showinj no special f.ivor to a man simply because he ia a Dutchman. John Masters is one of many Mas tcrs that camo to this county about twenty years ago from Pcnsylrania. II and his father and brothers settled first in and then around Fairfield where most of them remain one having gone to Oregon. Thcro may be something in the prejudice of early education that disijuali fics one for doing justico to a subject that comes up anew in after lifo, if so it may be to this prejudice that we have always regarded the importations of the last century as being better stock than the ntoro recent. At all events, the adjectivo Pennsylvania, be foro the noun, Dutch, seems to round off the rough corners. Yet after all, when the recent importations shall have ceased to Kuropeizo us, and be come Americanized, they and their decendants may not sudor by n com parlson with any who camo earlier. John Masters now lives on the road thai leads from Bloominggrove to Fair field, about half way between the towns. His farm is large, only tolerably well cultivated, lie has gates and fences, that are abovo mediocrity but not much to bras on. In short. we can not commend him as a farmer, though he has a good farm which yields well. Perhaps in the farming department, the most commcndiblo thing is a very commodious and well arrange barn. It is far above medi ocrity worthy of a visit from thoso who think of building a barn, yet one who knows the plan of the baru of C. B. Moore is strongly tempted to conclude that he must havo improved on Mr. Mooro's plan. Aa a farmer, we have been half disposed to blame him for the better attention ho has given tho improvement of stock, for one in his circumstances. His horses and cattle?, ibeep and hogs aro all good, tome of them very good but, only think of it! he has'nt a shanghai or Iloyal Cochin, on his farm, or had not a few months ago. But what bet ter could you expect of a Dutchman? But we aro not through with Mr. Masters. If he is not a premium far mar he is a premium blacksmith. Isolated as he is, with a little one horse shop) back from tho road, he has turned out some of tho best spec imens of edged tools that have ever been made in this county. His axes are of a superior quality, and prefer ed by all who use them to any of Col lin'i best. He has done much of the work for Fpccr dc Stevens'a paper mill. and we doubt not, had ho devoted his time to the business of making edged tools, in a place worthy of his skill he would have been one of tho first man ufacturcrs in the country. Sowing Timothy. This is the timo to mow Timothy, or any kind of seed designed fr mead ow. If your corn has been well cul tivatcd and 'l.iid by with a barrow or cultivator, so that it is level, sow the seed among tho corn. Thcro will be many advantages, in thus sowing. If well sowed, with about a half bushel of seed to tho acre, you may calculate on mowing, next year, a full crop o good timothy. If the ground is dry, it should be harrowed in, if not, it may be left to germinate without being thus covered. If sowed tho latter part o July or first of August, it will have root enough by winter to witlatan the frost. The stocks should bo cut even with the ground in tho winter and the whole rolled early next spring and jou have a first class meadow.The samo method of putting in clover is valuable, using the same quantity of aoed. If you design your fiel merely for pasture, tho rolling may be ommitled, and the stocks may be cu higher. The same advantage will be realized as in Timothy a fall crop next year. "Won't Work. Mesrs. McClure, Smiles north east of Brookvillc, havo a most Jbeautifu field of corn, planted on clover od which the worms did not molest at al last spring. -They attributed it to baring fed cattle and hogs on the field daring the winter. That wont do. Mr. Lzekiel Bright about 2 J miles north west of town has a field of corn on which he fed stock last winter, and the worms took all of the first plant ing in the part on which he fed, while the other part nearly escaped. Come gentlemen, bring on your facts, and we will help you corner the cut worm, just as we have cornered the gaps in thickens. Remedy roit the Blick Knot in Plcm Treks In the fall of the year small eggs aro deposited at the foots of tho trees, which .arc hatched by the heat of the sun in the following spring and surimcr. If a peck of hen ma

nure.'and a half peck of wood nshC3 bo placed around tho roots early in the spriug, this mixture will destroy tho eggs. W.U. CLEVELAND. New London, 1855. rA It Ml. It Ut'ltltlT AKI III I.llUtAUY. Farmer Burrit was a plain, honest Pennsylvania husbandman, who had been brought up very much as his fithcr and grandfather had been beforo him that U, with just enough knowledgo to

make him n respcctablo tiller of tho soil, ror sovcral winters, when farm work was slack, ho had been sent to a country school, and having somo aptitude, ho learned to read and writo tolera bly well, and to cast up simplo

accounts. Thcro his literary ed-1 two on ngnculturo ana gardening, ucation ended, and henceforth his' several on general and natural his energies wcro devoted to that j history, a few good books oftravkind of labour which i3 so neefs-, els, and various other book?, somo sary to mako tho practical farm-, to entertain, and others to awaken y--. il 1 1 il I. , I 1 1 It 1.. .1 l!

cr. un uicuoain 01 nis inruiy father ho entered into tho possession of n largo and good farm, and in duo timo married. At tho timo to which wc now refer ho had six children, all young, who had camo into tho world alternately boys nnd girls, and their father novcr dreamed of their being bro't up in any other way than ho and his ancestors had been. Kach ono was destined to receive n littlo schooling, and to do o good deal of work suited to their respective ages. As is unhappily tho caso with too many farm-houses, thcro was but a dim light in that dwelling. Thcro was no thought of cultivating tho higher faculties of its inmates. Thoy wcro to go through tho dull plodding lifo of thoso who preceded them; and although tho firmer had a good family lliblo and Psalm-book, his library consisted or somo fow cloncntary school books, with tho V necessary annual almanac, it wai in thiaBtatoof nflairs that an intelligent neighbor, who had turn cd his attention from a city busi ness to farming, with tho view of ccruittng ins health, becamo ac quainted with Mr. Burrit, and deeply interested in Ins family. Tho confidenco ho inspired, and ho kindly feelings ho manifested, mado him a wclcomo visitor, and cavo him no small influence. In ho courso of many conversations t t no tnrow out occasional ninis about tho proper training of chil dren, and tho advantage resulting from cultivating their mental acuities and moral powers. Alho Jgh ho found farmer Burnt and his wifo rather dull scholars, who with difficulty could look beyond tho narrow sphcro in which thoy themselves had bacn educated, ho was novcrthclcss encouraged to ivo tlicm lino upon line, nnd pro ccpt upon precept. Taking advantagoofwhatho supposed a fa vourablo opportunity, ho engaged ono dav m tho following conver sation with tho farmer. "Neighbor Burrit.Iwas think inc to-day that you wcro ono of our most substantial and thriving armors." "Thank you: I am pretty well to do in tho world, but it is be causo I work my way. I havo no idlo folks about mo. ' "Truo friend Bun-it; and it is commendabb in you; but you will excuso mo if I say I havo felt somo surpriso that you havo not all tho implements which a good farmer should have. ''Ilav'nt I though? I guess if you will look about, you 11 find I havo all I need. "Well I havo been looking about and 1 havo not found a half doz en good books in your house." '0! that s it; nnd what do I want with books? What's tho uso o them? I gues3 they'cau't teach mo farming. Your book farmers ain't worth much always trying something new, and comiwr out with short crops." "Ah! but friend Burnt, books teach many goodand useful things besides forming; and to tell you the truth, I really think they might bo very useful to your children, whom 1 know you love, and would liko to sco a littlo moro in tcllizcnt than their neighbors. Now, if you would spend fifty dol lars in good books, I will mako such a selection as I am suro wil be instructive to your children. "Whew! fifty dollars laid out in books! Why you must be jok inc. No, I am not; I never was more serious m my life. My only mo tivo for suggesting it is the inter est I feel in your family; and I will promiso you, that if at tho end of six years you repent oT tho purchase, I will refund tho fifty dollars, with full interest for tho whole time." Farmer Burrit looked puzzled, lie respected his neighbor; ho knew him to bo a good friend, and although ho thought the suggestion a foolish one, yet he was touched at the kind interest expressed in his children. After a silence of somo minutes, as if ho knew not what to say, ho replied, Well, well, I will think ofit"

A day or two afterward tho sameilingly inquired ot farmer Burnt

friend visited tho fanner, and beforo ho had timo to return to tho conversation, the firmer said, "I havo been thinking of what you said, and out of reepect to you, hero is fifty dollars for the books; it'ti a foolish nllair, audi wouldn't liko to havo it get abroad; but," added ho, laughing, "i'll hold ou to tho promise ot paying principal and interest at the end of six years. 1 can't lose much by the investment." . His friend took tho monoy with great pleasure, and ho saw that a new light was about to dawn upon farmer IJurrit's household. Tho books were purchased. Hesides somo good religious books, includiug sovcral biographies, he had selected a choice volume or

tiiuugui. in uuo iiino uicy were properly disposited in n littlo eise, and tho kind friend, already familiar w ith tho children, now carefully showed them how books were to bo used, etftieed them to read, and even mado them promise to spend some of their leisure timo in finding out what tho books contained. Alter somo difficulty ho got things into a right train; both boys and girls began to bo interested. Wo pass over two years. Tho eed hadbecn sown, was thcro any prospect for u harvest? No ono can pass Mr. Hurrit's farm without perceiving somo improvement. Tho external aspect of tho old lomcstead has amoro cheerful aud comfortablo npppcaranco. Instead of tho straying and unsig.il y objects which used to bo scon around tho house, everything bad a tidy look. Tho grass is grow ng, tho llowcring ishrubbcrry creeps up tho wall and adorns ho pathway, tho vegetable gar den is in better taste, tho orna mental accompauics tho useful, and gives evidenco that tho younrcr portion of tho family havo been studying tho books on gar dening. A glanco insido shows a better-regulated lamily, and obe dient and well-dressed children.Farmcr Burnt acknowledges hat Thomas, his oldest boy, has cot Romothing out of his books which saved labour, and improved crops. Other years pass, anil tho un provement is still moro visible Mr. Burrit, rather ashamed of his deficiencies, has been roading, and, marvelous to tell, has spent an additional fifty dollars in books.His conversation has becomo moro intelligent. No knows somo thing besides farming.and his wholo manner has unucrgono a favourable change. Tho rclig ious books havo accomplished t heir mission, lloligion dwcllls in that household, and has its altar there. Thcro can bo no complaint that books havo rendered tho children idle; for thoy havo been a new stimulus to industry. Tho farm prospers moro than over, and tho farmer has abandoned his prejudices against tho various im provements in ngncultural impic mcnts, and has obtained a good in sight into tho advantages of agn cultural chemistry. Mrs. Burnt has becomo proud of her bovs and girls; and well sho may be, for thcro aro nono liko them in tho neighborhood so sensible, so re fined in manners, so attentive to their duties, so anxious to excel. Wo should mention that tho kind friend who had been tho causo of this improvement, had so far re cruitcd his health, that ho had re turned to his city business; but ho never lost sight of tho Burrits. Somo twolvo or fifteen years af ter tho timo when our littlo narra tive begun, ho spent a week with histoid friends. Changed, most agreeably changed. James, tho third son, was obtaining a good practice as tho best physician in tho neighborhood; Thomas, tho eldest, was tho farmer, and looked up to as an oracle in all ngricult ural matters, and had exerted a happy influence in raising tho char actcr of all tho farmers around him; and Robert tho second son what was he? It is tho Sabbath - 1 1 il many vcnicies aro on uio roau that leads to the stono-church tho houso becomes crowded. In the front pew sits the anxious f im ily it is the Burrits; tho causo is soon apparent Robert is to preach for tho first timo in tho old church, and in the presence o many a ono who knew him when a little boy. Although with some signs of timidity ho commence the service, beforo ho had closed there was many a moist eyo in that assembly. He had spoken to them in an earnest, affection ate, and impressive manner one of tho most promising young min isters of the day. Elder Burrit for ho was now so officially des ig natcd, and his kind-hearcd wife wcro almost overcomo with emotion, as many a storng hand grasped theirs, accompanied by hearty congratulations. Next day the city friend smi

ho fifty dollars with interest in Uli.

IMj LmA W ,l- w (wJL Vi Im; M OF THE TWENTY-TIIIRB VOLUME OF

THE INDIANA The alarm that wai caused by the Lard

many papers to suspend entirely, and aoll out. and which caused many old and establiahcd papers to reduce their dimensions, deterred us from mskin, the rn largemenl we had contemplated, at the beginning ol the volumn. Though thwar. ted, for the timo being, we still kept our purpose in view, and now present the patrons and borrowers of the Ameiicax,

The Largest Paper in Indiana. And. If It ia not the lest paper, it ahall not be for want of unceasln? apnlicslion

to Its interests, on the part of its editor.

When we took chsro ol the American, some sixteen months r-jro, It use not without many a fear that we would not be able to retain ila lar&e subec.iplion liet. But this has constantly increased, notwithstanding the discooregin; ci Yumtaucfa of tho past year, and we now have a circulalio n that juiii.lcs the r:rfudi;ure we

have made in enlarging, in addition to our want or experience as an editor, we many personal friends. Thev thought it

ahould consent to become the Organ of some parly. But having long o stUled In our mind that parties will become corrupt, aud that they a-e usual1 lent In ex I . .1.1. a . . J a . J a a

laience ior me oenenit oi a lew aspiranis, we uciernrnra 19 pursoe our clioen course, and fail, if fall we must, in attempting to tublish a paper that ahould be truly Independent. The readers of the American k now full well, that we dj not m esn by being Independent, that we will not take aldrs for or gaiat the question at Issue. It has not been hard to tell on which sidoof any queaiion we Live been nor shall if be in iuture. We mean to say, that no caucus or convention, no ijrwem or council, or tribe, shall dictate what we may ssy or may not ry. We knoweverybody knows, that a paper that sells itelf ta party, must lesve anre proved the pol tic! blunders or dishoneitlos of its parly, and distort and m'irrp. resent the acts of its opponents. We hive certslnly tried to avoid these ermr, snd shall continue to try in future. How far we have succeeded , we leave with 00' csod'd, constant readers. How far we shsll succeed in future, mutt be Judged by ij future. On the questions now at Issue, we need not define our posMon. It is not an equ'vocel one, as our reaJcrs well know. On the questions to sri.e, we ahall speak when they come up; wlthoutfear, favor or affection, sod without sk ing any master how we may speak. Hence the American may Justly be denominated, is iimriiEsnciiM fafeb. But our readers will wsnt, not only opinions, but facts. They will waul a bird's eye view of the doings of the world, at home and abroad. Of course in a weekly sheet, even ss Urge ss this, the details of battles and diplomacies, csn not be given, but we w 111 keep an eye out upon the world, that we may give a ''mere mention" at least, of every important event, in the political, social, snd religious world. Kspectal pains will be taken to gather up andublisb, on reliable Information, all items of home news. This depart.nenrof our paper, which baa given it great popularity, shall not bo neglected, hence the patrons and borrowers may expect to learn something of interest, every week, about home matters. OrdinarJ. ally, the "mere mention" column itself, shall be worth the weekly coat of the paper. In view of the information of thla kind that ahall be regula. ly imparted, tho American will to A FIRST CLASS NEWSPAPER, But our paper Is to go Into the family circle, and exert an Influence upon the rising generation. In view of the Indelible character of early Impressions, and the vast importance of giving the impulses and aspirations of youth, a proper direction, great pains will bo token to admit nothing thst shall have an Immoral tendency. Ily every means in our power, wo shall aim to inculcate a love of learning, a love of reading, snd a love of virtue. Much of the ''miscellany" of the paper ahall be adapted to the capacity and taste of children, and we hope to make our paper of such a character as to be wcrth its cost, every week, to every child in the famliy, that con read. Hence It ahall be to the Interest of poor people to takelt on the score of economy, Instead of dircontinulng it beceuse hard times require the curtailment of expenses. Itis wretched economy that will dwarf the intellect of the child, for the sake of aaving a few dimes. We expect also, tomake aelectiona, and publiah auch original matter, aa will mike the visits of the American welcome to the elder members of every family. -- And, while we ere choice in our selections, we shall exclude every thin;, even

from our advertieing columns, that shall be If we know it, advertise a pernicious book

refused hundreds of dollsrs' worth of advertisements of circuses, lotteries, tto , and we shall continue to do so, being fully determined that, if we cannot mako a living at thia bualneaa without aiding gamblers, and awindlera, and strolling high, waymeo, we will try wood-sawing, or something else. Too much of our life Ins been devoted to the single purpose of trying to do (rood, lo begin, it ibis late day,

to promote vice ana immorality, ior mo We do not expect that every parent children, will patronize ua. The interest paper that binds the party yoke upon him

al polaon it It carries with it. .Others are so wedded to Mammon, that, for the sake of saving eighty cents a year, they will take a city Dollar Wlcxlt. that la

not only worttileaa, as a news paper, being mane up or the stale matter that bad appeared in the dallies, the week before, but which is absolutely pernicious, con

taining moat objectionable puffs of theatres, concerts and dram-ehopa. Such pa

pers are dear, at any price, yet we expect many persona to take them on tho score of economy. It will be bsd economy. We hope to make our paper worth

its entire cost, in addition to all other departments, almply aa "

A SUITABLE PAPER FOR THE FAMILY CIRCLE The spirit of Inquiry thst is awakened among the farmers of this vallev. Is a

source of rejoicing. To be a farmer now, requires more thin to be the owner of a tract of fertile land. To farm, means more than to scratch the surface of the aoil with an old bar-ehero. The Farmer of theae times, must be a reading

and thinking man, as well as a working man. He should bo a writing man also. While he is willing to receive Instruction from the experience of other, U e'uo'd bo willing to Impart Instruction from his own experlenco. To aid In the produc

tion of such farmers, we expect to devote

THB VftllEY FARMER. Intending to make a good paper, wm intend to aak a living price, and we expect

to receive it. Our terms will be found

auch a paper aa ours now Is, every reflecting man can eaiily see. Our paper is

now the size ol the weekly i imes, ana printed on mucn Detter paper. That paper is furnished at one dollar a year, though not a quarter ol a column ia ever et up for it which does not first appesr in the Daily Times, t hss too, a circulation of some 63,000. while we have less that 1500, and must set up our reading matter, expretaly for thla paper. The Weatern Chriatlan Advocate, which ia not to

large aa ours, with a circulation oi zs.uuu, senouaiy contemplated raising the price or reducing the size of its sheet, snd yet its price is one dollar and a half. We cannot live at less than the prices below, without resorting to measuree that we scorn. However, as a tribute of respect, "for their work's sake," MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL OF ALL DENOMINATIONS. shall have tho paper for one dollar a year, and widows, who have children old en ough to read, shall have it atthessme price, ss a token of sympathy. As a matter of charity, we will also furnish it to very poor men, who have large families, at the same price, or test rich wis, who are too stingy to buy books, or papers for their children; as it msy be a charity lo furnish the unfortunaie children of such persons some moans of learning the wsys of the world.

oi o n ri n lAi ifcjl luj iL 1 LM K

When not nsld during the year, When not paid within aix months, When paid in advance

INDUCEMENT TO CLUBS. At the present prices of psper and provisiona we cannot let our paper, lolnl.s, of any aize, for leas than two dollars a year. Itcoate just as much to furnish to a olub-subicriber as to any. But, ss a compensation to those who will act as our agents, in their respective Jocelitie, wo will send our psper gratuitously to anv Post Maater, or other person, who will aend ua the names often subscribers.wiili the pay for them in advance. We hope these terms will be carefully observed. All subscribers are regarded aa engaging to continue, unless they expressly state to the contrary, before their time expires. Masons and Odd Fellows, and benevolent men of all classes, will no doubt confer a favor upon many an orphan, and widow, by calling tbeir attention to our terms, in regard to them. If they are too poor to raise even a dol.ar, w e will join with any benevolent persona in raising it for them, if there is not benevolence enough in their immediate neighborhoods for that purpose. Be it remembered thatwe ask no man to take the paper merely to support it.
