We ropy the fo!lowiug paragraph from the last Fanner and Mechanic : "Last week, while conversing w ith Mr. J. M. Clarkson,at Ids farm in Boon Co., Ky., on the supeiior growth of vegetables this season over common seasons, he stepped out to his garden and brought in a radiidi, measuring twenty-two incites in length, and twenty-four and half in ciu uuiteience, weighing nineteen pound:." fj7 We commend the ildlowinc; proverbs t.) thu Hltention of the diflWenl cla--;' of individuals for whom thfy were specially disigi.'ed.

P. S. Bush, E--q. states to us, that he has made several experiments on the efficacy of salt, in increasing the durability of posts, by which he is peifectly satisfied that it will answer thai purpose.

We eschew imposition wherever it crosses our path. Oa jestci day, some dozen passengers got on board the steam boat Canton, one of the Pillsburgh and Louisville line of packets, to descend the river, various distances, and, in all cases, were charged one dollar more than the regular mail boats charge for the same distance. We mention this, merely, that our friends may avoid the like imposition by encouraging such boats only, as are commanded and controlled by ItouoiaDle and honest men. O W.

We have the pleasure to inform our friend of the Arena, that we believe his intelligence is substantially correct. We learn that information has been received by the Government, that such a bequest was made bv some Eni?lih yen-

th'man of fortune, and that the sum of 200.000 poands sterling will in all probability inn re to this citv for t he erection and endowment of a University. The money- we understand, was bequeathed in the lii't instance to (he only son of the testator, but in case of his death without heir, to no to tin City of Washington for the purpose a - hove slated. That contingency rurred, and the princely legacy accrues to the city. It i probable that the President will communicate the fact lo Congress eaily in the next session. .Vi. Intil.

RisSuch is the amount of business on the line of the great Erie Canal through ihe Stale of New-York, that with its present dimensions 40 feet wide, by 4 feet deep it is found wholly inadequate to meet the yearly increase of trade. Memorials are now being got up to induce ihe Board to enlarge the Canal to 80 feet in w idth, by 8 feet deep. This will be a new monster in il way; and from all appearances the plan will finally be carried into operalion. . I.AI2UXI. There never was known lo be so great a demand for common laborers tit our vicinity, as has existed throughout tiie last summer. The effects of which continues to be felt by our citiiz.Mis at tile present lime. Ttie demand has so far out run the supply as to make it aluiJst iiiipracucanie to procure a hand to perform any service, la y ears past, laborers c.ouid be readily found, and employed at from fitly to sixty two and a halt cents, per day, but now they are receiving a dollar and a dollar and a quarter per day, and many jobs must remain undone this season, owing to the scarcity of workmen. All blanches of mechanical and laboring business, are full of employment with us. As an instance we relate the fact that our neighbors through the countryare paying 02 t-2 cents per cord for wood chopping. These tilings speak well for the mass of the people and the prosperity of our tow n. e do not complain that the prices are mgn. ii the services lie worth the compensation, we are reoiced to see them so. But we would be glad to h ive enough hands, lo perform the work, now actually waiting for some one to do it, and we think persons through the country would find it to their profit to aid us with their services in time ofsucli pressing uemanci.

We trust that (he rait; which has fallen yesterday and to-day, will enable us to announce shortly that our city is free froai all disease. .Many of our city papers, actuated, no doubt, by good intention, have been rather premature in inviting strangers bai-k to this city, but we do not think it advisable for some two or three weeks to come.

MuRREI.'s ATTEMPTED RESCUE. We have been shown a letter from a highly respectable gentleman of Tennessee, which states that a daring attempt had been made to liberate Murrel from li.e Slate Penitentiary. The letter says that four or five hundred strangers gradually, and seemingly without concert, appeared in Nashville, but that the influx was so great as to excite sus picion and eventually public opinion settled down into the belief that thev were confederates of that arch fiend Murrel, which suspicion was soon confirmed by an unsuccessful attempt at his liberation. The letter states that about four hundred were under arrest and undergoing trial for participation in the matter and that a number had already been sentenced for various periods to the penitentiary.

"An act was passed at the last session of our Legislature, imposing a road tax on the lands of all non-residents, which has to be paid in the county where the land lies.
