attention. The water OF this spring has
proved beneficial to several persons in Ill

has been brought to this city, and has been
tested by medical gentleman. He finds
that it contains sulphuric and muriatic acid,

The influx Of the tide had unhorsed him in
the night, as he was passing the sands of

himself to the post. shouting for half an hour
for assistance, till the tide rose over his head.
In the darkness OF the night, and amidst the
pauses Of the hurricane, his voice, heard at
intervals was exqus!tely mournfui. No one
could go to his assistance--no enc knew

from the spirit Of the waters. But morning

traveller was found lashel to the pole OF the

TO BUTTER MAHEUS.

Few articles of living are more indispcnsahly
necessary in family, than good butter; and few
that arc more nauseous and unhealthy than bad
butter, and very great proportion otthe butter
brought to the market is bad. And much that is
called good is very bad when compared with
that which is really good. .-Tlis must, in great
degree, be owing to a want of knowledge IN
those who make it. If those who keep cows
would adopt the following method ofmaking but
ter, they would have more and better butter
than they can have in any other way. Let yoir
milk pals, pans, and churns, he always clean
and sweet; let the milk yon keep over night, be
churned with what you milk in the morning
while the latter is warm. In this way your but
ter will be sweet and if you work out the butter
milk and salt it well, it will be solid and good,
and command the highest price i'll market. Ma.
ny persons while churnng are in the habit OF
putting water into the churn, and also OF wash
ing their butter with water; this 's bad prac-
ticc, and should be avoided by all who wish their
butter to remain sWeet.--Hhacd ". a. J01rha!'

"reminiscences collected from the old gentle

others, Mr.. Wcrrel stated that he never
saw coffee or tea, until he was twenty years
of age. His father brought some tea from
Philadelphia; and his aunt, who lived with
them and had the charge Of the house, did
not know how to use it until she received in
formation from one of her most refined
neighbors. This prudent conduct was not
