A paper was read by Col. Sykes on TIL
poisoned Upas Valley at Betur, in Javs
extracted from letter by Mr.. Loudon
containing a description of his visit {
the place in July, 1880. Accordin'
to the statement of Mr.. Loudon, thi|
valley is twenty miles in extent, and d
a considerable, width; it presents
most desolate appearance, the surfac
being sterile and without any vegets
ton. The Valley contains numerou
skeletons Of mammalia and birds. q
one case the skeleton Of a human bein
was seen with the head resting upo
the right hand; according to, tradition
it is said that the neighboring tribe
were in the habit of driving their Grin
inals. into the valley to expiate the
crimes.-Mr, Loudon tried the expe
iment of lowering some dogs and fow
into the valley, and in every case, an
nation became quickly suspended, q
though life was prolonged in some ii
stances for ten. minutes. !, The vale
proved to be the crater of an extil
guished volcano, in which carbonic al
id gas is generated hke.the Grotto d
Cane, at Naples. The fabulous inf!
ence imputed to the Upas treeis ther
fore without foundation, the mortalii
being caused solely by the deleterioJ

Poetry.

1--WE do pray Tor mercy, and that same prayer
Doth teach us all to render deeds of mercy
SHAKESPEARE.
Who hath no mercy? he whose heart is cold,
Nor needs the tale by gentle pity told;
Whose callous heart no soft emotion knows,
Who never melted at the suppliants woes,
Whom children's cry nor parents prayer can
move,
Nor the soft plant Of holy welded love,
Angelic mercy ne'er whose heart hath won,
Who spurns the father pleading for his son;
Or, Pyrrhus like, who adds one victim more,
The parent slaushters in his first born's
f gore
Surely his soul shall no glad haven find,
The furies seourge him, helPs dread agents
bind,
As mercy none he gave-none shall hefeel.
None shall regard him, or his last appeal.

QUITE HERoINE.-It will be re-
collected by our readers, that in our
last paper, we noticed the conviction
Of James Skaggs and Richard Heath,
for passing counterfeit money. The
latter convict made his escape on last
Sunday night in a manner somewhat
singular. The wife of the prisoner
was admitted by the jailor TO an inter-
view with her husband, representing
that she was about to leave this coun-
try, and that it was the last time she
expected to see him. After some time,
the jailor returned to the prisoners a
partment, and found Mrs. Heath, las
was supposed ready to take leave Of
her acknowledgement up in a cloak.
and her face concealed by her bonnet.
Thus attired she was suffered to pass
out of the prison, all the time sobbing
aloud in the greatest apparent distress.
On visiting the Jail the next morning,
instead of the convict, Mrs. Heath was
found neatly dressed in the clothes of
her husband, who had been permitted
to pass out, in the manner described,
the night previous. The heroine after
a loud laugh, explained to her visitor,
the secret Of her husbands escape.

FUmers.-We learn that the farmers
in this vicinity and through the state
generally are making preparations to
cultivate more than the usual quantity
of land this season. Wheat and other
grain will be sown on a large scale
probably. We may hope that by the
blessing of Providence, the next win
ter will be as noted for the plenty as
the past has been for the scarcity of
provisions. Some farmers are cutting
down their fruit trees, and converting
their orchards into tillage land ouy.

LIGHTNING-Was looked upon as sacred
both by the Greeks and Romans, land was sup
posed to be sent to execute vengeance on the
earth hence persons killed with lightning,
being thought hateful to the gods,were buried
apart by themselves, lest the ashes of other
men should receive pollution from them. All
places struck with lightning were carefully
avoided and fenced round, from an opinion
that Jupiter had either taken offence at them,
and fired upon them the marks of his displea-
sure, or that he had by this means pitched
upon them as sacred to himself The ground
thus fenced about, was called by the Romans

ADvERTIsINe.--The following remarks
on the advantages ofadvertising, to busi-

tradesman ever lost any thing by adver-
tising, and those who have tried it will
at once acknowledge the truth of our re-
mark. Nothing gives character to man
Of business, and to the place which he ,e-
sides equal to advertisingi newspaper.
Persons at a distance, always Judge of
the prosperity ola place by the adverti-
sing columns Of its papers.
Men ofenterprize-real, active busi-
siness men, those who understand the Sc
cret Of success in trade-are always
found to advertise freely; for they know
from observation and experience, that
the payments a merchant or any busi-
ness man makes for such matters, is de-
cidedly the most beneficial of any
paying more than three-fold to the per-
son advertising. 1t also gives character
and standing to individuals and places"

that the whole amount of duty bonds
which renamed unpaid from the year
