Cattle ShoaD, &c.-We understand that Sc
venteen entries for the ploughing match,
were made in season, ard that there were sew
eral applications which came too late. Ac-
counts from all quarters, induce us to believe
that far greater number of strangers will be
here, than ever attended before, and we trust
that their just expectations will not be disap.
pointed. The reputation of the county is at
stake, and every farmer, and every manufac-
turer, ought to take an individual interest in it.
No county in America, can produce so fine a
show of young stock and working cattle, as
this, and in manufactures, the names of Good
ell, of Howard, of Lyon, of Wolcott and
others, are known throughout the country,
wherever good cloth is worn. Our fair sis
ters,we feel persuaded, will, as usual, omit
nothing on their part, which they can contri-
butte toward promoting the grand object of the
exhibition.

PRESERVATION OF EGGs FROM PuTREFAc.

PRESERVATION OF EGGS FROM PUTREFAc-
TIoN.
To preserve eggs in fresh state, varnish by
dipping them in solution of Gum Arabick in
water; and then imbed them in powdered
charcoal. The Gum Arabck answers the
purpose of a yarnish for eggs much better than
any resinous gum, as it can be easily removed
by washing in either warm or cold water; be-
sides, it is much cheaper. Eggs preserved in
this manner, viii keep for many years, as the
bed of Charcoal, from its porous nature is a
non-conductor ofheat, and consequently main
tains around the eggs an uniform temperature;
preventing them from suffering by alterations
of heat and cold.
Observation. This method is infinitely pre-
ferable to that of greasing them, for when the
grease becomes rancid, it hastens or promotes
putrefaction Of the animal matter in the egg.

Method Of Cleaning Silks, Woolens, and Cot
tons, cihOm Damage 10 their TsGturc and
Colour.
Crate raw Potatoes to fine pulp in clean
water, and pass the liquid matter, through
coarse sieve, into another vessel of Water; let
the mixture stand still till the fine white par
ticles of the potatoes are precipitated; then
pour the mucilaginous liquor from the fecula,
and preserve the liquor for use. The arti-
Gle to be cleaned should then be laid upon a
linen cloth on table, and having provided
clean sponge, dip it into the Potatoe liquor and
apply it to the article to be cleansed, till the
dirt is perfectly separated; then wash it in
clean water several t. es. Two middle sized
potatoes will be sufficient fer pint of water.
Observations. The coarse pulp, which does
not pass through the sieve, is of great use in
cleansing worsted curtains, tapestry, carpets,
and other coarse goods. The mucilaginous
liquor will clean all sorts of silk, cotton, or
wooden goods, without hurting or spelling the
colour; it may be also used in cleaning all
paintings, or furniture that is soiled. Dirtied
painted wainscots may be cleansed by wettins
a sponge in the liquor; then dipping it in
little fine clean sand, and afterwards rubbing
the wainscot with it.

Silver mines.-More than nine tenths
OF all the silver in the known world is
derived from the mines of Spanish A
merica, which produce, according to
Humboldt, 43,500,Oo0 dollars annually !;
and of this sum New Spain yields about
two thirds. The mine of Valencia is
one Of the most noted. Its depth is 1910
feet, and it extends horizontally for a.
bout eight miles. The number of per-
sons employed is about 800, of whom
1900 work under ground, 900 of whom
are employed in carrying the ore up
the stairs that form the descent into the
mine, and 400 in removing it to the pla-
ces where it is tried and roasted. The
annual produce is about 50O,OOOl. and
the expense of working it 2O0,OOOl.
