The farm on which X am now stopplng containe 160 acros, or & quartor-soction of laud, Fivo ncros aro In hops ; 40 acros, mondow; 52 acres, woodland ; 40, pasture; corn, 31 acros; drilled corn for soiling, 2 acros 3. wintor whent, 6 nacres; oats, 8; potatoes, I ncro; orchard; house-grounds, yard, and buildings, B acres. Twonty-two milch-cows, 4 head of horsos, and 8 calves rre all the stack tho farmn will carry, This frrm-work ig all done by threc mon ; aud, in the wintor, tho wood Is cut, and hauled, and pro- varod for tho year. THE TOP-YARD s tho sourco of tho groatest anxlaty, both ot account of tho yiold and the priceof the crop, which Ia liable to great fluotuations, rangiug from 10 couts to 50 conts perpound. Atthe formor price thero is a loss, Hops vory largely in yiold, say from 500 to 2,800 pounds, tho aver- ago bofng about 1,000 pounds, THE HOP-INSEOT is & gront drawback to hop-culture. ¥n order to Bave the crop, early picking is resoried to, and, 28 thovinos have to bo cut for picking, and ns thoy bleed, this bleoding soriously impnirs thom for tho noxt crop. This insoct is of the {amily of plant-lico or aphides, and thus far no romedy hns been discovered. Nostruma have been patented from time to timo, bt thoy have been of no practical yalue, Theore is also the TOP-0nUD, aworm that ents off tho roots, This grub oan be destroyed by oxposing the roots, near the stem of tho plaut, when thoy may bo hand- jpicked, aud the birds also aid in’ destroying thom. Thoy eat off the stom at the root; but, if tho root at that point {3 oxponed, tho grub will not molest it. It is, thorefore, of the firah importance to attend to fhis work., 1 snid there was no remedy for the u]:hldou, but vigorous growth in hops, a8 in all other plauta attnckod by this family of insccts, has much to do with the result ; {herefore, onrly nud cone stant culturo will Liave its good offccts, and go far to ward off tho damage. ¥ In hop-culture, manuro is esgontisl to succoss, nnd dry, gravolly Inud is coneldored tho bost, ‘and wo seo hop-yards on the hills; nnd, this morning, I have boen looking through my glass st hop-yards nt tho highest point of culture on tho Chorry Vatloy Mountains, a spur of tho Adi- rondacke.” Wo may, therefore, iufor from this that tho com-lands of Illinofa would not bo the bost ndapled to this crop.

IN BEGARD TO OULTURE thero muet bo no negloot, and nll tire yards that T hoyo scon are clonr of weeds a6 ths boate kept garden, while the vines have boon carefully tied "up. A yard of 8 acres will keep one man constantly om, flofiefl until the hopa are fully :et,d or the poriod when the vines ceaso to ex- ond. Tho plants nro sct 7 by 8 feet, and two poles ore got to each bill. This leaves tho spaco cul- tivated by plow and cultivator 6 by 6 feet, and in ono diroction 1, and the other 2, fant for tho oo, Wo bave o fow hop-yards inColrtral Illinols, but tho owners appear to know noething about the g\lulnuna, 1f ono is to judge of tho maungoment ere. It will bo soen that a mixed husbandry s the ordor of the day in this part of tho country, and, though hops occupy n iargo spaco in tho businoss of tho farm, thoy really occupy a small part of tho aron, aud raust bo flanked with stock-grow- ing or tho dniry, that will supply tho manure ‘which i8 at the bottom of the succoss. ‘The poles, and hop-house for drylng and sbow- ing, are large itoms of cost. Whito codar poles come from Canada, and cost on the cars 1214 cents each; add to this the cost of haullng from the dopot, sharponing and gotting, and wa have, for tho 1,400 poles required for an acre, £350. Thora haa been o time of great prosperity, when hops commanded 50 conts n pound ; but now the busi- ness i considored _rathor procarious, on account of tho insocts, and low, fluctuating prices, Many yards havo beon abandoned, and the poles put to Sthar ue, SHARON BrniNus, July 4—A Loavy rain-fall this morning is Linilod with grent joy, as the fow light showorss hind done little more than to lay the dust. Somo farmors have commenced hay- ing, though thoro is little clse to cut than WHITE DAISIES, that manage to grow in spito of the drouth, These daisies are o source of annoyance, and 30u only bo destroyed by summer-follow and the asturing of shoep ; but the tariff has a bad of- eet on Bhieop-lusbandry, and we seldom seo & flock of shoep, aud theds few are of long wool, nd kept mainly for mutton. {8 & summor rosort iek tn Josgel summor resort thint in largely patronized for tho ealubrity of ite climatooand tha sunposed modioinal value of its wators. The elevation 8bove tho soa ia about 2,000 feot.

A -littlo above, are tho maguesia aprings ; lower down, thoso of chialybsato; aud, above'all, the iron springs. In this groat variety of mineral-water in the same neighborhood, nearly all peoplo find one ormora of thom to their faste; but it is Rm\u'\ble that, after all, the puro mountain-air a8 moro to do for invahids than tho water itself. The people have flocked iu to-day from the country to CELEBRATE THE DAY} but the visitors taok o part in the festivition, and remainod in their rooms until a late hour in the aftornoon, when tho streots were fllod with fashion, and the springs wero crowdod with drouthy invalids, Weo lind an oration from a eprig of the law at Albany, who gave s falr synopais of Lossing's History of the glovnlutlon, o which ho added a comparison butween the Congress thut mot at Philadolphis, July 4, 1776, and the late Credit-Mobilior Congrosa, not flate toring to tho latter.

The lovo of fun ig ulwngd first and foro- most with the Hollander, and these poople from the farms are mainly descondants of ¥ha ‘country of dykes'and canals.

Tho first and most important step toward reform i# to ascortain the cause of the evil in quostion, and to this I will try to confine myself, That wo are cropturos of circumatancos, and that our bodies and minda are. prinéipally built up by the exerciss they are subjocted to, may bo lourned from ordinary ob- sorvation, By proper training and exerciso, a man may enlarge aud strongthon his musclos, and otlierwise develop a vigorous body ; ko thon is competont to malko & good worker or & good bruisor. Exorcigo has mors to do in tho devel~ opment of our bodies than tho kind of food wo eat ; and this principlo is far more potont in re- gand to thomind. By tho constant exercise of tho montal organs of destructivenecss, they may become o dovoloped ns to fit & mun for a good eoldier, a fiood butclier, or a murder- or, Diontal dovolopment s "almost wholly tho result of thought, and thoughts are engon- dered bx our surroundings,—by what we do, Loar, and read. Preachers apply thomsolves to tho oxerciso of our miuds by supplying thom with roltgious thoughts when undertaking to convert us ; succossful politicians.novor under- tools the rogulation of our diet iu ordor to draw us into their party, but it was by getting us to, listen to tholr spoeches, by reading thoir nows- popors, by singing their songs, by training in their processions,—in short, by exercising our minds with tho thoughts they furnished. .

A marked rian In the valuo of tho artfclo hns consoquontly oo owrrod in this market, aud n furthor advance is highly probablo. A yoar's supply of papper for this country ‘varies from 85,000 to 70,000 bags, or ** pleklos," a8 thoy aro teahnically termed, oach of which contnins from 100 to 120 pounds. At ihe be- §lmlln of tho Atchoon war there woro about 5,000 Lings in tho United Btatos, of which very Httle {8 now loft in tho hands of donlers, The total shilmumtl rocolved this yoar amount to but about 23,000 bags, which woro mado up from last yoar'a crop. Usually the now orop Is lar- vosted in January, and oxported hero from thon till midsummer, but this yosr the orop was ne- glooted, in nonum{n nco of tho war, and s large partof it was lost. Noarly all the Malay Inbor- ora have beon pressed into the rauks, and as oppor requiros tho most careful cultivation, it !:s probablo that thero will bo o failure of tho crop next year also, As nearly all our popper fa derived from Su- matrs, this state of aflairs could not fail to pro- duco o riso in prices, Hix months ago the value of peppor in Bumatrs was from 8 to 911 per bag. 1t gradually roso to 816, and is now hold at 514.!}0. ‘Tho slight recent reduction is duo to the fact thnt no vessols have lutely boon sont thore, in consequence of tho war, to bring away what' little popper thoro is stillin tho market, and thoro bas therefore boon no active doman a$ tho old points of export. Poppor has advanced from an average prico of 16 conts per pound, duty paid, to from 183¢ conts for Sumatrs, and 193¢ contsto 20 conta for Singa- {»om. Privato advices conflrm the reports that ho war is likoly to continue, anditis therofora probablo that "poppor will' become oxtremely gonrce, with a corresponding rise in value. The Atcheon war has also occasfoned & con- sidorable advance in tho valuo of nutmegs, but 88 thoso are obtained from the Malacca Islands and other places besides S8umatra the supply is not likely to bo roduced liko that of poppor. In othor respocts tho spice market is in its normal conaition, savo that tho supply of cassia isslightly in excosa of tho domaund. OPIU. - A much more sudden and startliog change has vory recontly occurred i tho valuo of opium, Tho usnal crop in Turkoy, from which this coun- try ia suppliod, amounts to about 5,000 cases, oasch cago containing 140 pounds, It is chiofly distributed botweon America, England, and China, This yoar ovo?flnns appeared to be favorable for a good yiold, and ot loast an ay- orage yiold was confldently expected till o short timo ago, whon advices wero recoived that one- half nP tho crop bad been dostroyed by tho hot winds, It is now roported that the entire pro- duct of this year, which is now harvesting, will probably not amount to moro than 2,000 cases. Abont 2,000 cnscs morp ore said to constituto tho whole stock of Turkish opium now on hund in this country and Europo, most of which is in Furopn, a8 tho groator part is of an inferior ado, which could not pags our custom-houses. ho nyorago consumption of Turldsh opium thronghout tho world is catimated at 400 cases por month, or 4,800 in n yoar, 60 that groat Bcaroity 18 inevitable if the reports from Smyrna Do correct. X iy = No supply fot our market can bo obtained in India, as tho grade of tio Indian opiumis such that it cmlldg not bo admitted into our ports. Peraian opium was formerly on important pro- duct, but since the groat” famine in Porsin its culturo hns beon noglected, and instead of thousands of casos, a8 in former years, it is ro- ported that this yoar's crop willnot be more than 400, Morcover, that kind:of opium could bo used in this country only in the manufacture of morphia. This condition of affairs hoa caused opium in bond in this city to advance in price from 35 por pound, gold, to 96,25, gold, within the last six weoks, If the unfayorable reporta aro fully cone firmed, it 1s belioved in the trado that it will con- tinuo to advance enormously, and not improb- ably roach the Sguro of about five years ago, whon, undor eimilar circumstaucos, opium was sold for $11 por pound in gold. oARIOn, * Gamphor is avothor articlo in tho prico of which & groat change has occurrod in this mar- KO, Lul I thic saoo tha altaration 48 the rovorso of that noted abovo.
