TO FARMERS,

Mn. EDITOR AS believe farmers in
general intend, in future, to pursue the good
old way Of increasing their wealth by rais-
ing and keeping more of those valuable an
mails called horned cattle I will name, as
believe, an infallible remedy for such as
may be in the distressed situation Of being
checked with an apple, potato, or other hard
substance. The remedy is simple and safe
when given without Loco ocos, Ltcif eys,
Or any other forms Of 6re. Don't laugh !
Tsks gun powder-the most convenient
way istO put il up in paper in the form of
common cartridge, say three inches in
length, and introduce the cartridge inro the
throat Of the animal with the hand, (all far
msrs know how this is cone by holding out
the tongue let the head Of the creature be
held up for moment to prevent splitting out
thspowder, and the checking substance will
be Immediately elected. Remember IL and
try q. Very many Of the human species
have been relieved by taking powder in des-
perate cases. This simple remedy ought to
be more generally known-as thereby many
valuable lives may be saved.

As our correspondent has brought US be-
fore the public as a cattle groDer, this may
be favorable opportunity Tor saying that
the calf Of ours which he alludes to is of the
breed ofthe Durham Short Horns, is seven
weeks old, and has been pronounced, BY
good judges, to be very fine animal One
gentleman, from a neighboring town, who
called to see him, informed US that he was
acquainted with the breed; and he thinks
this deyelopes the points indicating the pure
blood, more than any other he has seen in
this region.
The calf may be had for SOS, or the COW
and calf for SIS, ifcdlled for soon. "Were
we more Of q farmer" as our correspondent
says, We should ask at least twice this sum
for him. But in our present situation it is
inccnvenient to keep him.
One Of the principal e1celIencies of the
breed consists in the goodness of the cows
for milk. They are preferred to any others,
BY the English daiy-meu.
Since the above was written, the calf
has been weighed He is now two months
Old, and weighs $50 pounds. He has been
kept in the barn, has bad only the milk of
one COW, and is not remarkably fat. Not
withsandirg his great size, he is every way
jostly proportioned and is as lively and
vigorous a. those Of smaller size.-ED.

The RED RIVER COUNTRY GREAT
RAFT Fraud on the Cal DO Indians.
The New Orleans Commercial Bull
le:in contains an interesting letter from
this quarter. AS Capt. Shire eve, "Un
Gle Sans Tooth Tor Snag) Puller,"
removes the floating raft Of self-accu.
mulating forest timber, and the saw
yers, stumps, &c. from the bed of the
river, these masses are to be employed
to dam up the Bayous, and thus force
the current to deepen its natural, or
rather now artificial cut channel, and
carry off all the raft remaining on each
side. The South Carolinians are s, I.
Ting along the swampy lands in pre-
ference. The Great Raft is described
as chaotic mass of timber, confused
ly heaped together, in some places trees
of the largest size standing on or in IT
in others the body of the platform is
forty feet deep, the consolidation of
ages, implanted in which are the roots
OF the trees of immense magnitude that
have shot up on this naturaly-formed
floating island. [ApropOs:-Does not
this immense wooden structure, one
hundred and fifty miles long, throw
light on the processes Of nature in the
cal bonaceous qualification ofthe EARTH
STAR. The body of logs dragged
by steam TO one outlet alone would
have required the labor of an army tor
years. Dead trees six feet in diane.
ter are torn up by Captain Shreeve's
steamboats, from the beds where they
had been reposing for ages, and sawed
out into pieces as manageable as il
they were walking sticks. By ca.

ment, between two bayous, the water
of the river found vent, and thus

For some time past, approximations
have existed on the part of the settlers

APErp BEHIND THE CURTAIN. 1.-THE

APEHP BEHIND THE CURTAIN 1.-The
New York Commercial gives out the
following piece Of Information, in an
editorial article, respecting the know
ledge of the suspension Of specie pay.
ments, possessed by the officers of the
Government loEg before the suspension
took place. It has been the policy
and concern of the Office holders to in
duce the belief that the calamity came
upon them like clap of thunder IN
cloudless sky-that the first intmatlon
they had Of the explosion OF their hud'
ed scheme was the annunciatlon that
several of their pets had been Prostra-
ted and others were yielding to the ne
cessitics orthe times and following the
example thus set them. Upon little
reflection on the subject, il would seem
strange, that men, with an ordinary
quantum of foresight, and to whom the
situation of the banks ought to have
been, and probably was, known, should
not have had some knowledge of the
suspension before they found them
selves and the public involved in it's
difficulties. But to the article:--
"Mr. Woodbury. knows that the Me.
chanics' bank had determined to stopon
u treasury draft last autumn. And had
it not been for the energy and the exer-
tons of George Newbold, George Grls-
void, and Benjamin l.. Swan, the Me
chanics' bank would have stopped last
autumn, carrying all other banks with
it in the crash. Hence the visit of
Messrs. GrlswoId and Swan, to Wash
ington, by express, last autumn. Mr.
Woodbury. knows the sequel. He knows
what was the state Of trepldaton into
which he was thrown. He knows how
humbly he was ready to come to any
terms to defer the catastrophe. lie
knows how readily he contaminated
the treasury draft, falling due on Ger.
tain Monday. And yet, knowing all
this, he covered every thing nicely up
in his annual report, and taught Con.
gress to suppose that all was strong ana
safe, and every thing connected with
the better currency system working ad-
mirably."
Was not this concealment and mis-.
representation TO Congress, by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, a criminal NAL
feasance in office? Political men felt
and expressed establishment at the ex.
pose of Messrs. Newbold Griswold, and
Swan, when their Washington mission
was first made known, We are now
advised how little ofthe truth then came
TO light.-Cin, Gda.

ten days IN succession Of harvest sun,
as fine as heart could wish. During
this ten days | have traversed a con.

was industry more on the alert than
amongst our farmers. In the corn
field, the meadow, the grain, all was
activity. We have now u promise that
sun and heat may continue with us yet
some days. Should the remainder of
July resemble the second week, the
value to the great Ohio valley will be
incalcuable. The ground is SO tho
roughly saturated with wet, and sha.
ded by the corn, that even that crop
will not suffer for rain in two weeks to
come, in which period the harvest will
be mainly secured"

MosT DIsCRAcEFUL.--T N. York
Gazette Of the cath ul.imo, says: We
learn that the German Reform Church
in Forsyth street, was yesterday desc
Grated by a scene of violence and dis
order. rejecting the deepest disgrace
on ali parties concerned in IT. The
following are the leading particulars as
they have been communicated TO US.
At about III O'Clock, two clergymen
followed by their respective friends,
simultaneously entered the church and
made for the pulpit. On reaching the
sacred desk, the passage was mutually
disputed vi Ell arms, and sticks and
clubs were put freely in requlsItlon,
being supplied by breaking up the rails
around the altar! Possession oil the
pulpit was gained alternately by both
parties, and both parties alternately
disloged. While matters were ia this
! frightful state ofyictory and defeat, the
alarm bell was rung and the firemen
rushed TO the spot, determined, we be-
lieye. to throw cold water upon the
fiery valor of the reverend belligcrents.
In the meantime, however, u strong
party from the Police Office, parted
the combatauts, cleared the church,
and closed it, very much to the dssa-
tislaction of both parties. The clergy
men are said to have fought like very
Butchers, having their clerical gar
ments torn to rags, and one of them
retiring with a remarkably bloody nose
received ad ostium cleSie. On the
whole, it is the grossest outrage that
has ever occurred in this country, and
it is Notifying to record transaction
so deeply disgraceful to the city, and
especially to the ministers of religion
engaged in it. If any of the Particu-
lars here given are exaggerated or er.
roneously stated in any respect, they
shall be corrected with greater pleas
ure than we here give them.
