Prosperity Of the West--It is stated in the Al
bany Advertiser, that a gentleman travelling to the
West few days since had the curiosity to count
the number OF Wagons which he passed from
Schenectady to Utica, and found them to exceed
$50, loaded with -four, from IL to ID barrels each
making the quantity transported by land in one
day to exceed $500 barrels That transported by
water was probably still greater. A mercantile
house in Albany had paid 1000 dollars for single
days transportation OF -four from the Little Falls TO
that city.--.sesc FORK Spectator.

ON PERSONAL SAFETY DURING a THUNDER
STORM ~
The following is taken from Carallo's Elements
of Natural and Experimental Philosophy.1

LW JOI0UtHg Us tnEeH JFoHt CnCdItOS elements
of Natural and Experimental Phiiosophy.1
"Wth regard to personal security in time of thun-
der storms, if person be in house which is not
furnished with condutor, it is advisable not to
stand near any metallic articles, viz near gilt frames
chimney CRATES bell wires, iron easements, and
the like. In the middle of room, upon dry
chair, or table, or mattress, oher insulating artis
cles is the safest situation. Should storm happen
when person is in the open field, and far from any
building, the best thing he can do is to retire with
in small distance of the highest tree trees he
can get at he must not, however, go quite near
them, but he should stop at about fifteen or twenty
feet from their outermost branches for if the light
ming happens to strike about the place, it will, in
all probability strike the tree III preference to any
other much lower OBJ ect and if tree happen to be
split the person will be sale enough at that distance
from it.
Curious fact.--In the town of Nunda, (Allegany
Coz upon the farm of Benz. Earl, ESQ. has been
found large number of human bones, in the last
stsge Of decay They but very slightly cover
ed with earth, and appeared to have been promiscu-
ously deposited, without any regard to order, in
field containing probably thirty acres The great
size OF Of the thigh bones denotes men above
the ordinary stature, and the equality and uniformity
of their decay prove that they were all buried the
| same time. At what period and by what cause
they we're all left there, is impossible to determine.
We may conjecture that they are the remains of
brave warriors who fell on the field of glory but
whose exploits have died away in the silent lapse of
past ages, never TO be heard Of more.
| At a little distance from the place where these
bones were found, are the remains OF an old Fort,
situated on the top ola hill, circular in its shape and
inaccessible on every side but one. The passage
leading from the plain beneath up TO the top of the
hill is probably the work OF art * is Insufficient width
to admit three men to walk abreast. The gateway,
walls, and deep Iosse, arc still visible

It will be seen, from the proceedings Of Con-
gress, that that body is now seriously occupied
with weighty matters of publiclz concern
The Bankrupt bill has been reported. The
subject Of a revision of the Tariff, with view
to the advancement of our own manufactures
as well as to an increase of the revenue, has
been brought before it: And the ratio of rep
resentation for the next ten years is fixed by
the select committee.
The last subject will probably engage the
Hrst attention. 1t is far from certain that the
ratio 100000 fixed by the committee, will be
finally adopted. Should it be, the number of
Representatives from this State will continue
as at present; and the whole number will be
az. 1t is still thought, however, that the
ratio will be as high as $4,000. The deternn-

From the .Anaeritara Farmer.1
10 young House-keepers.
CURING OF BEEF.

have seen several recipes in the A.
merlcan Farmer, fer curing beef; some
OF which are no doubt very good, but
they do not communicate enough.
There may be many things in this
necessary art, unknown to a family for
the greater part of their lives, which
it would be very useful to know the
first year. | have, therefore, taken the
liberty to send to the editor of the Farm
er plan that | think both theory and
experience will sanction.
Get beef recently from the grass. and
raised not very far from the market;
for driving always inAames the vessels
and melts down the fat, as we'll as
hardens the flesh: The fat should
be white and Of good thickness, un-
der the skin as well as interspersed
throughout the fesh-a large kidney
alone is not sufficient proof of good fat
beef Beef should be neither very
young nor old-Oxen are to be prefer
red.
Let this beef Gf in the fall) hang
few days in quarters, which is just as
necessary to tender the boiling pieces as
the roasting pieces-then cut it up and
have the whole rinsed, drained and well
ePTInkied with salt. la the mean time
have a pickle made with cold water sui.
hciently strong to bear an egg-with a
STIR or two, cold water in As hours will
dissolve all the salt as well as hot water.
and much trouble saved thereby. For
every quarter of beef put in three ounc-
es OF salt-petre-after draining your
thick pieces, put them into this pickle
let them be covered with it, and if DOS.
slble, fill the cask.-In week, turn
them upside down, and let them remain
three weeks, when the smallest may be
used. The thin pieces that were left
out, such as fianks and plates, should be
rubbed every third day with salt and salt
petre, which will bring them in for use
sooner than the pickle. If you have
much beef or expect to be 8 or A months
using what you have, you must have
another sort of pickle for part of it:
this is made simply by adding lib. of su-
gar for every 100 lbs. of beef, to the
former prescription of salt and salt-pe-
tre-by the sugar being added, you will
ind that your beef will not be cured in
less time than two months, but as a
compensation it will preserve the beef
nice for four months, when the other
pickle will be found strong and the beef
rancid. Pocock's pickle is very good
one for this purpose but unless the beef
mas been sailed in tubs before, it will be
lound TOO weak for our climate. By the
above plan, the young house-keeper can
have regular succession of nice beef.
the whole winter, first his thin corned
pieces, then his common picked, and
finally his sugar picked. Isl. VS..

Chancellor of England, on the construc-

words =" do desire that every thing
may be literally taken as here written,
and that no lawyer be employed TO
make out what may be meant.'' The
cautious testatrix, however could not
prevent the lawyers from having fin
ger in the pie, an expensive Chancery
suit having Immediately enued on her
death but she succeeded inpreyenting
their attaching any particular meaning
