So it seems that t flour is idled into the warehouse., under j heavy bonds not to be used until the star- ; vation point is arrived at. which according . ' - - to the Liverpool papers is not to be expert ed "for many mouth? to coine." If however the weather should turn out good during these many months, and thus favor the English crop", the American flour will have to be reshipped for some other market or sent hack, unless it should sour in the mean time and become dead loss to the owner?. This is the sort of free hade we are nskeii to enrnnmirp Sun. i - i pose we should have a law winch allowed British cloths only to come here, to be stacked up in vvarehuii-es and be moth eaten there, under heavy bonds not to be taken out until our people should be freezing, and had not wherewithal to cover their backs what sort of free trade would that be? And yet that i the way that our flour is treated when it goe9 to Liver pool ; and the British say it means tree trade and soirie of our folks believe them.

for the saddle; especially if the rider ' bear in mind what we have termed the j golden rule in horsemanship, alway s a lit-1 tie to fed the mouth of the animal he. isj upon. A farmer, and more particularly, a small farmer, w ill prefer a mare to a gelding, both for riding and driving. She yill not cost him so much at first; and he will get a great deal more work out of her. There can be no doubt that, taking bulk tor bulk, a mare is stronger and more last ing than a gelding; and in addition to this, the farmer ha her to breed from. This and the profit which 19 attached to it is well knwn in the breeding counties; but why the breeding of horses for sale should be almot exclusively confined to a few northern districts it is not easy to explain Wherever there are good horses, with convenience for rearing the colts the farmer may start as a breeder with a good chance of success .

Culture and Manufacture of Silk. The Economy society of this county, (Beaver) have brought this branch of industry to a greater degree of perfection than its most sanguine friends had anticipated in D short a period During the pat pe ta they raided from 70 to 75 pounds of raw silk, and are now manufacturing it into handkerchiefs and Testings. The handkerchief? are of a good quality, though nothing extraordinary, hut the vesting; r (at least the pattern we saw" is an elegant and substantial fa I ric for Leauty and durability it exceed any foreign article of the kind we have seen. The price cf vesting was considered lotv, at $1 50 per yard, or pattern. A number of pa tie run have been forwarded to Harriburg, to membeis of the Legislature one for Gov.

Although we cannot agree with Mr, Rapp in political matters, yet this will not create in us any feelings hostile to the society or to Mr Rapp as a neighbor. We admire the society for its industry, sobriety and perseverance in the manufactur
