The Detroit Gazette says, the singular volume
recently discovered by Col. Edwards, has been com
pared with than thirty different aphabes, an
cient and modern, and although the characters in
which it is written bear slight affinity to several OF
them it is very clear that they belong to neither
They bear more resemblance to the Phenician al
phabet than any other with which they have been
compal ed though number OF the letters differ but
little from the Saxon. There is no doubt, from the
Latin sentences interspersed through it, that it is
religious work, and il is probably the production Of
some learned theoogan of the seventeenth century,
written in peculiar CIPHER .4arora.

CLOTH MAKING.

To make good cloth. farmers should be more at
tentye TO their sheep, and not sell the best lambs
Sheep should never be yarded with cattle; they
should be kept in good flesh, that the wool may be
lively and fed in rack, set up perpendicular that
the hay seed, and chaff, cannot fall into the wool,
for these essentially inJure IT, and make It very trou-
blesome TO the manufacturers. The season is now
at hand when the sheep should be freed from their
warm coats. few days before they washed,
all the tag locks and dung, adhering to their tail
and breech which they so long suffered to carry
with Them should be carefully cut off so that the
fleece may wash the easier and cleaner, on the
sleeps back; they should then be taken into a
stream of running water soit water is the bes and
There well washed. They should then be left to
rut, on green grassy field where the wool cannot
take up any dirt, for five or six days, that the ami
NAL oil may penetrate the pores of the wool again
this oil preserves the wool alive and keeps it plia
bic, Suitable attention has not been paid to the
sortinr of wool---the fleece should be divided into
three or four sorts, from line to coarse. ii this Is
not attended to, and the coarse wool lett with the

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
From the Nt,c York Statesman

From the .Nlio Fork Statesman.
The following receipt for picking beet pork, is
we'll worthy the attention of all farmers. The wri-
Ter of this article gave it to respectable farmer,
two years ago, who prepared his beef and pork in
the manner prescribed. The first year he sold at
the market price the second year, all his sailed
beef and pork was bespoke, at considerable ad-
vance, by grocer in this city, who supplies great
many private families. The writer of this is ex'
tremely deslrous that the receipt should be tested
by the farmers, as he is certain its general adoption
would hereafter give preference to beef and pork
bearing the New York brand.
Receipt for making Pickte.--6 gallons of water ;
9 pounds of salt, half coarse, half fine; pounds
brown sugar ounces salt petre. Boil the above
ingredients we'll skim it occasionally. When cold,
pour 1t over your beef, previously packed in the
cask, and add one ounce OF pearl ash The quaint
ties here stated calculated for 30 to 80 lbs for
greater quantity of beef or pork the ingredients to
be proportionaby increased. -

THE STAR.

The evening came, in gloom arrayed;
The dark clouds yelled the face of heaven
The forests cast dreadful shade,
And not one beauty graced the even:
The OWLS sad moaning in the wood,
Still added gloom to solitude.
threw myself upon the ground;
My soul was solemn as the scene;
cast my vacant eyes around,
All was perceived, but nothing seen;
For melancholy wrung my heart,
And grief plunged deep its venomed dart.
Amid the curtains of the sky,
Ny woe-wurn spirit found relief
A thick cloud fixed my wandering eye,
Black as the messenger Of grief
While like the ministers of fate,
Squadrons of gloom around it wait.
Sudden it parted, and star,
A little star that glimmered bright,
Shot its mild radiance from afar,
o! there was comfort in its light.
The soul that feels and melts like mine,
My consolation will define.
