CATI0NAL. j. iviicEisrz:iE, editor. A Reminiscence of Sec. Seward's College Life. While "William H. Seward was pursuing fc;s course of study at Union College, 3chenectadT, N. Y., he became greatly enamored of a young lady, who was then the reigning belle of the city. At tending the fBino colk-ffo wa young man, of wealthy parents, by the name of Cbevalior, who was also greatly in lore with the same lady. Seward at that time had little to bnast of in the way pf wealth, and although a young man of marked ability, he could not Tie with young Chor alier, whote parents supplied him with all the money he desired. The yourg lady preferred Sow ard, but her parents preferred wealth ; and she soon became Mrs. Chevalier. But alas lor human hopes I IIow often are we doomed to disappointment ? Hardly were tho happy eoup!e united, when both parents utterly failed ; the bright dreams of wealth vanished, and life in all its stern re vlity of earnest toil was upon them. Unaccustomed to labor, ignorant of the most common affairs of life, they were as helpless as child rtn. Chevalier tried various employments that would call into use his education. He failod as a clerk ; he could cot teach ; hii education ap peared of no value to biia whatever; and what lit tle he did earn bis wife laid out in gew-gaws, and a few years found tbem occupying a mi emb'e un derground room, and Chevalier sawinywood from door to door, around the streets of Schenectady. In due time Seward graduated with honor, and commenced bis useful career. Step by step he forced his way up from obscurity; fortune srailed on bis efforts, because he possessed the power of adaptation, and knew how to suit himself to cir cumstances. Soon he found himself honored by the people, and placed at the head of the govern ment of the Empire State. But through all his prosperity he could not forgot the object of hi early love. 'Whenever busines or pleasure called him to Schenectady, he never failed to seek oat the bode of Mrs. Chevalier; and many a substantial token, in the shape of some articlo of luxury for the table, or article of wearing apparal, bore testi mony of the sincerity of his friendship for the un fortunate lady who once possessed his heart's best affections. V'e think the above reminiscence never appearod in print before; and as we are personally acquainted with Mr. Chevalier, we can vouch for its authen ticity. Teaclicrs's Association. Ia reply to "Fairview," we would simply say we are ready to do all in our power to asist in.or- nliing a "County Teacher's Association," anl would suggest that some' Saturday be fixed upin as the day of meeting. We think there are a number in tho Nortnil School who wi!l take an in terest in tho "Association," and help sustain it Pekt. A Visit to Peru. Elltor A'l eert iter : A recent visit to P.iru af- forded ice an opportunity of calling upon our friend, i'rof. J. M. McKenzik, Principal of the State Norrnnl S ho l, and of examining for myself the working of the machinery he has in operation f'T inijrovirg Pud syHicafizing our method of miblic instruction :"and I will say for the benefit of all interested , that I eatue away highly grati -fi'd with nhat 1 saw, arid strongly impressed with the belief that tho institution could not have been placed in batter bands.

But con.-idcriug he mtny drw backs woich mut necerHrily attend an cnterpris-j of this kir,d in a newly settled country, it is encouraging to find the school in its second term, so well ostab liohud ar.d so well patnniz.-d. Respect! ully, 0. B. HEWETT. Arab iliSTUicr, February 8, E'litor Adcertintr : Although I Lave not tho honor of a pem-nal acquaintance with you, I have taken the liberty lo address you, with a view of informing you and your nutneroui ro.idtrs how we prof-pcriu this barbarous locality, known as" A rub." The q'ltption b8 never been definitely fettled as yet bow the name of "Arab" was bestowed upon the good people of tbig district ; however, we main tain that then? is "nothiur iu the nauie," aud we doubt not but this name will distinguish us from the neighboring districts for all co-ning ti:n. We have in tLis?ch. ol district a neat littlo aohool hffuse, which is well filled with echolnrs wh , under the management of Mr. Norland (their present teacher) are making rpid improvement in their . r various sialics, mated it is as iamiiiar a eaying as Household Words," among the g?iod people of the district, that the scholars have never learned so fas!, and taken such a deep interest in theiratudia iuce the district was first organized, fca they have during the past six months of tchool. The scholars havo been rtboarsingfor seme three weeks for the purpose tf giving an exhibition, whfeb came off last Friday evening, which, con sidering the short time in which they had to pre- pure, hi.d the icct nveniencos of crowded house and small room, was very creditably done. We bayc alsd a debating soci ty, under thecaption of "Arab Improvement society," which has proved a great auxiliary in wnilingaway tho long winter evenings. Mr. Frank Irwin is our pre.-idert, and John V. Stone, secretary; and able and efficient officers they have proed themselves to be. I d n't know of anything more of interest at present, with the exception that we bail with de light tbe appearance of spring, 'that delightfu' season wbuh aboriginal tarda appear so f,nd of." We ate "muchly" pleated with the size, tone and general appearance of the 4fcertW,and wish you every success (pecuniarily' spiking) in your en deavors to make it whak it really ia the farmer's piper. With much respect, I remain very truly, A YEARLY SUBSCRIBER.

Editor jldvertistr : I did not intend to trespass on your space any more with this subject, and my apology for so doing at (his lime is that I cannot allow Mr. Bryant' remark? to co by unDOticed, as ho either misunderstands or willfully misrepresents my statements. In either case the effect is the same. The first is in regard to the cost of making the fence; the second in making hdge. and the third in . the distance idvoca:ed for planting. Will Mr. Bryant' egotism allow him to correct his errors? Now, whatever views I have pre sented in these columns that do not ac cord with his ideas, will he, Mr. B., for the benefit of all concerned, point them out, and tell where the error is, what it is, and fully explain all its connections? Simple assertion?, unless based upon general principles, are inadmissible ; and if Mr. Bryaut, in discussing these ideas, convinces me of my error, I ehall feel uuder obligations to him for eo doing. Will he alfo give his figures in regard to the cost of making hedge on the raw prairio. E. H. B. Farmer's Club Report Xo. 4. Clifton, Nemaha Cocntt,) February 25th, 1S68. f Editor Jldvcitiser : The club met this week to consider the different sorts of apples, and the best locations for an orchard. In our list of sorts you will notice that we have a desire to " cut down " on the many kinds recommended as hardy, for the simple reason that we have no trees to sell, and wish people would be maie cautious in their selec tions. The following will, by comparison wiih nurserymen's hats, be fuuDd unob jectionable, and those that will do well on the greatest variety of soils, &c. For Summer or early sorts, the Carolina June aud Red Jlstiican will be found the be?t. For Autum or Fall use, the Duchess of Gldeuburgh, the Hawley and the Jersey sweeting are all good ; and for Wiuter the Wine Sap, JTtw York Pippin, Willow Twig, Famous or Snow HJljipie, Northern Spy, and Rawle s Jen nette will all be found unobjectionable as to ll ivor Of hardiness It was the opinion of the club that hijh limestone toil, wiih a frequency uf hollows, or in other words email hills, with an exposure as far from the south west as pos?ible, was the very best for raiding the apple or any other fruit. I will give you something on email fruits next week. R. A. HAWLEY, Sec'y. Lafayette Club Proceedings. February 1st, 1S6S. Club met pursuant to adjournment.

On motion, the Jlmerican Agriculturist and Horticulturist were selected for the uje of the Club for the present year The question of the beat method of growing Spring Wheat was then dis cussed by Mes:rs. Haywood, Wilkey, Black, and others, and we came to the following conclusions, viz: 1st. That the ground should be thor oughly plowed in the Fall. 2d. That the seed wheat should be thoroughly clensed of all impurities by swimming in brine, and afterwarks par tially dried by sifting quick lime over it. It is also believed by many that the lime process will effectually destroy the Finut, as it is usually termed. After the above preparation it mkea but little dif ference whether the wheat i sown broadcast or with a drill, bo that it is covered well by harrowing. But for my part I should prefer the drill, as we can then get the grain more regularly dis tributed, and covered with less labor. Whem should be sown as early as the ground is in good condition, but not mud ded in a& some do. On motion, the subject selected for dis cussim at our next meetiog was the best method of fr ucing our farms. On motion, the Club then adjourned to meet at the Illinois School Houie on Sdturdry the 15ih day of February, at one o'clock, P. M. LAFAYETTE.

Editor Advertiser ; Seeing discussions in your p iper in relation to herding stock and fencing our prairies, I would say, in defence of herding stock on the prairies, in my humble opinion the people of Nebraska will eventually come to the conclusion that it is an actual necessity. If stock be permitted to rove at random where they please, and farmers receive no compensation for the losses occasioned by their depredations, except through a law suit aud fuss with the owners, then it is high lime a portion of the farming community quit the losing game and tiy some other means for a livelihood. I have seen cases where whole fields of grain were totaly destroyed, and that after the owners had spent more time and mean lo protect it than it would Lave been worth if it had arrived at maturity, been harvested, threshed and. sacked ready for sale. Now, in the face of all this, let us have a general herd law, let ua try it on for a while, and my 6imple word for it before it has been an act two yeara there will scarce be a voice in opposition. The fact of the business i3, our fences of wood arc no protection to our crops; it is tbe case in thi3 part of Nebraska and every where else, as far as I have seen, with, perhaps, a few exceptions. Now it takes some time to have a hedge ferce: from three lo five years; and the majority of tbe settlers will Lave to hedge if they fence at all ; and stock shou'd not be auoweu io trampie it Gown and de.troy it, much less ihe crop. it is destined to protect; now the herding sys tern nlone will accomplish both objects I believe it is evident to a great many minds that if the present syaiea i coa tinued mucji longer, the turpk-s stock will have to be got rid of er a great cumber will have to quit faming. We have, here in Gsg3 county, a herd law, and the opposition to it at first was pretty strong, but it is faa girii. way; its worst oppesers will now admit :ha wis don of the law. Ojt country is bound to fast settle up, and all are not alia to fecca substantially with raiU or plank, I u: all must keep some stock .t,W);,i' iy$ one, . "let every man take cara of his aloe, herd thera at night and watch tiiem out of mischief in tha day time.' My dear sir, that is played out; what we wact ia home protection; we want owner of stock to be amenable for what his sleek destroy. I dont care what you call it, a herd law, or law to restrain stock from commuting depredations cn crops; anyihiug you please, only let us have it. I believe there has been more hard feeling, fusaia; and bitterness among neighbors oa account of breachy and unruly stock thaa war, religion, politics and all tattiirggoa sips combined. "Well" says oz, "will a herd law make it any better." My dear sir, it cant make it worse, and ia my hum ble view will make it a great deal belter. When a man is compelled to pay damage he will do it without going to law about it ; while at present it is worth the damage to collect it. Look at it, friends. 1 would like to ee intelligent farmers' auJ slock raisers' opinions oa the subject. Self SuAa?Nrx- Farmera Oa Too Ilach Lnnil. The high prices which hava been ob tained for some time past, and which ara now received for country produce, have stimulated our farmers to branch'.cut. Many of them have bought or intend to buy the "next eighty" or forty acres joining. Now, while we admit that ev ery one understands his own affdirs beat, and also the extent of his desirable pos sessions ; still we think a word of cau tion may possibly save our readers soma funds, or anxiety. It is certainly better to raise one thousand bushels of corn oa ten acres, than to devote twenty acres ta the same purpoe. If ihe fame amount of fertilizers and the same labor was ex pended on ten acres, which is necessary to cultivate the twenty, it would not only belter the laud, but it would generally produce the deoired result, and leave, the ten ucrrs to be devo.ed to O'.h'T crops. Fed you laud and it vvdi teed you. Make it produce the moat possible to b realized trMi the same number of acres. Improve yuur fences so nu to avoid hav ing your crops- destroyed by your own or yuur neighbor's ttock. improve your; barns and oui-bui!dijf.'3, and thus save feed and fuel. Get a pump for your well or ciMern and thus save tbe strength of your wife and your own. Have yuur buildings painted and thus preserve them; in fact, instead of spreading, concentrate your forces, or in other words your capi tal, and the hard time.-, which are already felt by many, will leave you un harmed. You will have less lax to pay, be enabled to dox your work in- good season, and enjoy better what vou have without being overworked. You will also have more time to cultivate your mind, attend lo the education of yuur children, and not dread the day when the interest on your notes will come due, which you may possibly hav,j given ia part payment for the next eightv acres.
