SITUATION ON A FARM WANTED.— 
L-J A YOUNG MAN, German by birth, of respectable parent¬ 
age, well educated, and who lias been engaged in farming for 
some years already, in this and his native country, wishes to 
find a situation with an intelligent, scientific farmer, in the 
vicinity of New-York preferred, where ample opportunity, prac¬ 
tically and theoretically, is afforded to him, to cultivate and 
perfect his knowledge of agriculture and keeping of stock. 
He is able and willing to work, and, although he would like to 
receive the fair value of his labor, is not especially anxious to 
get high wages, the main object in view being to secure a place 
where he can acquire a thorough knowledge of his calling, and 
where lie will be well treated." 
If such a situation is obtained by him, his employer shall have 
no occasion to regret the engagement. Address W. L., care of

lays the grain in such good order as to save at least another 
hand in binding.
