One fact, mentioned by Mr. Webster in his speech at Wheeling, is especially worthy of the calm and deep reflection ofthe American people. The charter of the first Bank ofthe United States expired in 1911, and, in sim gle year, specie payments were suspended throughout the country. The charter of the U. s. Bank expired in 1896. and again in a single year, specie payments have been sus- pended throughout the country.

MitdeaO on Grapes.-A gentleman of this village, who takes much interest in these things, informs us that he has discovered a sure remedy for mildew upon grapes. The mildew has been the great bane to the suc- cess of growing the more tender but delicious kinds of grapes in this quarter, and even the much praised Isabella suffers more or less by it. The gentleman above mentioned, says that he last year discovered that his grapes began to mildcw badly, that he had former ly tried sulphur and other remedies without success. and that he made the experiment of applylng strong soap studs with syringe to q plump and smooth, and fair, while all the rest uponthe same vine were so badly mildewed, as to be unfit for use. Should this simple remedy prove effectual, our courage will again be revived in cultivating this delicious table fruit.-FredOniG Censor. "@ .

A Singular Fact.-About five years since, says the Rochester Democrat league was entered into between eight young men then lettering their time away upon the Exchange street bridge in this city, to enter upon a course of crime. Tho species of crime was not designated, but counterfeiting seemed to have been that which they most extensively practised. Of this number, six are now in the state prison-one is dead, and one is a fl- gitive from justice. . ..- ,......... The Countryman and has Saddle of Yenison. The Exeter News. Letter relates the follow ing excellent anecdote: A countryman from the northern part of the State, once called up- on Governor Wentworth at Portsmouth, and begged his acceptance of saddle of venison. The Governor loved venison, and smiled most ! graciously upon Jonathan, as he accepted the present, and thanked him for so acceptable a mark of his respect. But the man hemm'd | and scratched his head, and was in no hurry | to depart.

 be very happy to oblige him, if he had the
 proper recommendations; and asked if the

Matrimony.-In the pressure that now weighs upon all persons of limited fortune' sisters, nieces, and daughters, are the only commodities that our friends are willing to bestow upon us for nothing, and which we cannot afford to accept, even gratuitously.- It seems to have been the same, at former period, in France. Maitre Jean Picard tells us that, when he was returning from the fu- neral,of his wife, doing his best to look dis consulate, such of the neighbors as had grown up daughters and cousins came to him, and kindly implored him not to be inconsolable, as they could give him a second wife. sSix weeks after,' says Maitre Jean, I lost my COW, and, though really grieved upon, this occasion, not one of them offered to give me another.' tS a.s S7>rsle.4 ta o...s

gincer on the above road, which was in
readiness to commence operations as soon
as the necessary action was had by the
Board of Directors. The road is designed
to draw the lead trade to Chicago, and will
be of great benefit to that point. Another
route, from Milwaukee to Cassville on the
Mississippi, passing through the heart Of the
mining region, has been also spoken of,
and is thought to be more feasible than the
Chicago and Galena road. Wedono know
what action has been taken in regard to the

The Erpansiue Poyer of Water.-A
Cincinnati paper-the Whig-mentions
remarkable instance of the tremendous ex-
pansive power of water by freezing, which
recently occurred in that city, at the Iron
Foundry Of Messrs. Hardness, Worries,
81 Co.
An immensely large iron anvil, weighing
between three and four tons, and measure
ing nearly three feet in diameter, had been
left lying by the door of the furnace, ex-
posed to the atmosphere. The anvil was
perfectly solid, with the exception of "a very
small crack or crevice in the centre Of one
of the sides, about four inches in depth,
which from the rain had become filled with
water. The quantity of water which the
crevice contained, could not have exceeded
half gill. In the course of the night of
the Goth December, this water became
frozen, and, extraordinary as it may appear,
its expansion completely severed in two
parts the immense mass of solid iron, and
so great was its expansive power, that when
the separation took place, large log of
wood which lay on the top of the anvil, was
thrown TO distance of several feet.
Had the crevice been filled with powder,
and the powder ignited, the effect would not
have been thousandth part as great.
This expansive power has been proved in
other instances, by great variety of in
teresting experiments. The New York
Commercial Advertiser gives the following
account Of an experiment at Woolwich,
England, few years since, on this subject,
and of the practice in Norwegian quarries,
of making this expansive force particularly
useful. Hn
An iron thirty two FOUNDER was prepar-
ed, with an iron plug, or tompion, twelve
inches long, made to screw into the mouth
of the piece with a very close and deep.cut
worm, Tor spiral grove; the cannon was
filled with water, the plug screwed in, and
moreover fastened with strong chains and
ropes to the axles: and thus charged, il
was exposed to the cold of severe winter
night. In the morning the chains and ropes
were found broken, the worm destroyed
and the plug driven bodily out, while {
cylinder of ice occupied halfthe space hac
previously filled.
In Norway it was constant practice will
the milestone quarters to avail themseve
/. of this irresistible expansive force. The,
quarry out large cylinders Of stone, lonl
enough to make six or eight mill.s.ones o
the usual thickness, then drill number o
holes, about six inches deep, in the circum
ference of the cylinder so as to girde it b.
rings of holes, at the proper distances. In
to these holes are driven wooden plugs, per
! fectly saturated with water, and the fro:
soon splits the cylinder into as many block
as there are circ!es.--Saturddy Necs.
