The last mails furnish nothing, save the politi-
cal death Of Major Noah, editor OF the ". York
National advocate. 1t seems that the Advocate
was owned by a company of Crawfordites,
who becoming tired of the low character of
NoalPs paragraphs, and his abuse of public
men, offered him choice OF two alternatives
either to buy the concern or retire. rs the
irol'cksome major saved nothing from his st-
pend, but has been growing poorer and poorer
ever since he lost the Office of sheriff, it was,
luckily for the party, out of his power 10 buy,
and he could only withdraw against his will
is 1T surprising that there should be such an
inveterate propensity to sinking in the Crawford
presses, and that their conductors should be so
ungraciously served by their masters Noah
is turned off for his want of deccncy Colvin is
deprived, by MIR. Crawford himself Of the trea-
sury patronage at Washington, for his low sour
rility and Ritchie,--

THE ALMANAC OF LIFE.


The progressive stage of mans exis-
tence, bears a striking analogy to the
vicissitudes of the seasons, comprising in
each succeeding month the period of
seven years; calculation which sup
positiously extends the duration of lie
to the advanced age of eighty four, be-
yond which all must be considered a
dreary blank, neither profitable to our
selves nor d. sirable to others.
January-(i infancy. )--This month,
which commences our year, may be
justly compared with the infant state of
man, whose faculties are yet in embryo.
The sunshine Of joy irradiates but tran
silently; it illumes his early days with
glances of pleasure, uusubsanlial and
evanescent; a tedious night of helpless
ness and ignorance effaces the impress
sions made during the day. Artificial
warmth, iuvigorating food, and refresh.
ing sleep, are all that he re-uires or
finds solace in.
Februnry-From 7 to14.-The bud of
intellect now expands to lmblbe the GET.
ial rays of instruction, which the all
cheering luminary of spring nourishes
into blossoms, of early promise. All is
gaiety and pleasure; nature appears
decked in vivid delightful colors, vari-
egated, fresh and blooming; no gloom
darkens the surrounding atmosphere /;
every thing presses on the senses with
the charm ofnovelty; allis gaiety I'M
disturbed and enchanting.
March-l4to 2l.-This month is gen
orally ushered in with boisterous winds
and nipping frosts The hapless mari
ner beholds his vessel wrecked upon
the very rocks which bind his much
loved home. Vegetation perishes thro'
severe and untimeIy frosts and deIug
ing rains descending with impctuous
force, crush the springing blade, and
despoil the beauty of tne gay parterre.
Even thus do the rude passions of
mans soul break forth with resistless
force at this unsettled period Of exist
ence, wrecking the fragile bark OF
youth. The ude Of dissipation sweeps
away the principles Of virtue, which
have not had time to take root, and eve

FRuIr TREEs.-The growth Of weeds
round fruit trees recently transplanted,
does them great injury, and diminishes
their fruit in size and quality. Sopni-
nj in his Bibliotheque Phisico-Econom-
ique states that to prevent this, the
Germans spread on the ground, round
the fresh transpIanted IF es, as far as
their roots extend, the rel ise stalks of
flax, after the iibrous rart has been
This gives them surprising
vigour. No weeds will grow under
flax refuse, and the earth remains Fl esh
and loose. Old trees, treated in the
same manner, when languishing in an
orchard, will recover and push out
vigorous shoots.

CHAMBERS IN HORSES.
DowNINGToN, 12mo. 18th. 1923.

DowNINGToN, limo. 18th, 1928.
ESTEEMED FRIEND,
. | have noticed request made BY
Robert Lowry, in the last Farmer, for
information respecting the CHAMBERS
to whom feel willing to give my small
experience, or to do any thing in my
power for the preservation of so useful
an animal.
| have in all the cases that have come
within my knowledge, uniformly traced
back to what is here termed the distem-
per, and by some the strangles.
consider the CHAMBERS to be a neglect
ed or violent case Of the distemper
from repeated discharge from the
nose, and constant inflammation, the glands
become liberated, and finally the small
er bones of the nose become carious,
and of course incurable, as they are not
so situated, as to admit Of an operation
being performed on them in this stage
the horse has been inoculated, mercu-
ry has been tried, and both without sue
cess.
But take the distemper, or strangles,
in time, cure it efectuaIly and you pre-
vent the CHAMBERS.
SYMPTOMS.
The first thing discovered is rafting
in the throat, with duIlness of couute-
nance, apparent drowsineSs, and some
fever, then a swelling in the throat and
between the jaws, discharge at the
nose, and sometimes cough if the horse
does not die by the swelling at his throat,
it becomes what is called CHAMBERS.
CURE.
Dissolve one pound of glauber salts
in warm water, set it in a. bucket in his
manger, and he will drink it take halt
gallon Of blood from his neck vein
give "A mash Of Tvs quarts of wheat bran
sCalded with sassatrass tea, after which
offer him lukewarm water to drink, aud
do not suffer him TO drink any other
kind for that day, next morning take the
same quantity Of blood as before, give
as much as before, with the addition OF
half an ounce of salt petre dissolved in

Patent Bedsteads. Mr.. Adams, cab
inet-maker in Orange street, has obtain
ed patent for an improved mode of
constructing Bedsteads, and has for ex-
hibition and sale some Of the bedsteads
of the improved construction. The
improvement consists in a mode Of
straining the sacking in such manner as
TO dispense with the use of screws, and
as TO make the bedstead more firm, and
the sacking much more tight, than it is
possible to make il in the common
mode Of construction. 1t is also less
likely to get out of repair, than those
in common use, and is so simple, that
it may be taken down and put up, and
strained to lis greatest tension, in very
few moments. We saw one of them
taken entirely TO pieces, put up again
and perfectly strained by two persons
