FRoM Rio GRANDE. We learn by the
Pearl, which left Rio Grande on the Goth
March, that the inhabitants remained in
state of alarm, and in expectation of the
arrival of the Buenos Ayrean army. Many
of the wealthy citizens were leaving the
place with their effects, and business was
almost entirely suspended Gen. Brown,
Ia Hanoyerian oficer) who commanded q
division of Brazilian troops in the action of
the goth of Feb. was at Rio Grande. 1t
was understood there that he was COM
pletely routed, though no particulars Of the
action had been received. In the engage
ment he was slightly wounded in the leg.
The troops of his division who escaped,
were stationed at a place on the river
about 100 miles from Rio Grande, having
suffered much in their retreat, and, las was
stated by Gen. Brown, being for "a hours
without drop of water.-Subsequen to
the battle, the people of Rio Grande were
ignorant of the movements of the Repub-
liean Army, but it was known that there
was no force to oppose their march to the
city, and private letter says, unless Gen.

IHDIAN BARBARITY. We lately copied
an article under this head, from the Boston
Traveller, giving statement Of the suffer-
ings Of three men who have returned from
a captivity of fifteen years among the In
dams, as related by Gregory, one of the
sufferers. The Detroit Michigan) Gazette.
of May 22d, says, in reference to this nc
count, that " Gregory is worthless impos-
tor, and any man who reads his account
ought to know it. And for the benefit of
all future hearers and retailers of these
wonderful variations, we again repeat
what we have before said, that there IS no
American prisoner retained in captivity
among the Indians, nor has there been for
years-and whoever comes with such n
story should be set down as an irnpostor. y

GouGINe. The most justifable act Of
this kind, Of which we have heard, is the
following "A Kentuckian, belonging to
surveying party under an officer of u. S.
Engineers, swimming in st. Johns River,
was seized by a large alligator and taken
under the water. In short time the Ken
tuckian and the alligator rose to the sur
face, the latter having the right leg of the
former in his mouth, and the former having
his thumbs in the eyes Of his antagonists
The officer Immediately gave orders to his
party, who were in boat a few Yards
from the combatants, to go the relief of
their comrade, but the Kentuckian peremp-
torily forbade any interference, saving
"give the fellow fair play" It is needless
TO add that the gouger obtained a complete
victory. Having taken out one Of the ewes
Of his adversary, the latter, in order 10 save
his other eye, relinqushed his hold upon
the kentuckian's leg, who returned to the
shore in triumph.--,W Y. Courier. =

A AVAILABLE EXPERIMENT. Mr.. Phin-
cas- Whitney, of Winchendon, has a large
farm; cuts about $50 tons of hay annually !;
employs q or 5 men during the year, and 8
or 10 in harvest. He was in the habit of
purchasing rum by the barrel, in Boston,
for his laborers, and used annually about
five barrels. He saw the habit of using it
was gaining strength in HIMSELF and in his
men. He therefore resolved to use no
more, and offered his men | dollar month
ly, in addition to their former wages, if they
would dispense with it altogether. They
readily acceded to this proposal and, dur
ing the last five years, he has neither used
it himself, nor furnished it for his men,
His work has been done quicker and bet.
ter than ever before. He has saved, he
says, more than one thousand dollars il
money. Five or six of his neighbors, hav
ing large farms, have seen his success, ant
initiated his example.-Rec. s. Tel.

CAPT. FRANKLIN. The Detroit Gazette
of May Is, has the following extract of a
letter to the editor of that paper, dated
Sault de Saint Marie, April %, 1877 =
"Despatthes from the Arctic land ex-
petition, under the direction of Captain
Franklin, reached this place on the 10Th
ult. When the bearer left Fort Franklin.
in October, the members of the party were
in fine health, and greatly exIilirated by
the success with which their enterprise
had been crowned during the preceding
summer. They have established the fact
of the continuity of water communication
from the mouth of the Coppennine to
M'Kenzie river, and from thence have push
ed their examination as far as one hundred
and forty-nine degrees and thirty eight min
utes of west longitude. At this point they
were compelled, by the density of the fogs,
to relinquish the design of proceeding TO
the Pacific Ocean by Jay Cape. The bot
anist, during the absence of the exploring
party from the fort, has been engaged in
investigating the vegetable productions of
the Taskatochawin country.
We may calculate that the reading
world viii be gratifed with view of the
details of this expedition early in the com
ing year, as Capt +. and his associates are
looked for here in July. From intelligence
that is to be relied on, we feel authorized
to say, that they will be spared those les
sons of human endurance which detracted
so much from the pleasure their former
narrative afforded, and which, in the first
enterprise, were no less attributable to
their own improvement, than to the cupid
fu of the then rival fir cornnaninsn

OLD AGRICULTURAL WRITER. The
first person in England, who wrote on the
art of agriculture, was Sir Anthony Fitz-
herbert. His &C Book of Husbandry," was
published in 1884. Mr.. Loudon remarks,
that this work is valuable at the present
time, and that after the lapse of three CEN
turtles, Fitzherbert's practice, in some ma
terial branches, has not been improved
upon. The following is a specimen OF his
photography
He advises the proprietor, "to go aboute
his closes and fieldes, and to oversee his
shepherds, howe he handleth and ordereth
his shepe, and his seruantes how they plowe
and do their workes. For man alwaye
wanderynge or goinge abonte somewhat,
| fyndeth that is amysse, and wolde be
amended. And as soone as he seeth any
such defautes, then let hymn take cute his
tables and wryte the defautes. And when
he commeth home, let hymn call his bayly,
or heed seruante, and 500 shewe hymn the
deiautes. Thus let him use dayely, and
in shorte space he shall settle mocLe
thynges in good order, but dayely it wyll
haue mendynge. And yf he came not
wryte, lette him nycke the defautes upon
styke, and to shewe his bayly, as | sayde
before" In those days some of the no
hility and other wealthy landholders could
not write.

ADDRESS.
The present crisis of the great American family
iswlthout precedent since the moment that 1t placed
itself under that glorious constitution which has ell
eyated it 10 the distinguished rank IT now enjoys
among the most civilized nations OF the earth Tins
CRISIS, gradually approaching tor these three years
past, menaces our dearest interests those sacred
principles which animated the immortal authors OF
our independence seem already to be forgotten The
impartial observer, who traces the movements OF
our parties is induced to believe that tatgued with
an ever increasing prosperity, with freedom each
nay better appreciated, the source OF our lncom-
parable felicity, we are already so desenerated, ms
oloo, without horror, upon the possibility OF CIV
ls ourselves master, and submitting our necks to
The yoke. Until nov, the opinion universally re-
ceyed, in this our most favored country, was that,
oaspire to govern the Republic. an intimate know
ledge of the law OF nations and Of the political and
commercial relations of all civilized nations among
themselves and with US, was indspensably neces-
sary. That, further, such candidate should be an
,rfeproachable patriot and sincere lover of the
'u.,hion and of the protecting principles of civil
i'oerty. But new change seems to be operating
and endeayouring to overthrow the most manifest
ana salutary doctrines. Instead of the learning I'M
now required the eclat of glory is to be the title

"OA acquired by study, and forty years OF service il
