.nScience has occasionlly been pressed
into theNserxice of fraud in a very inge-
nious manner, but one would scarcely
suppose that fishhongers- class ofpeo-
pie not particularly renowned for their
scientific attainmenfs--would ever avail
themselves Of it, so as toApass off stale
fish for fresh, or make a dead one hounce
about as if living. 1t is, however done,
by means Of galvanism. II piece Of
zinc is put inside Of fish, near the back
bone. and a knife rnn through. the back
until it touches the zinc, a small gaivan-
ic action is excited, which is generally
enough, ifan important nerve istpuch-
ed, to occasion considerable action

is life in the fish, as shown by its appar-
rent wincing under the knife, and If Tie
fish proves stale he never thinks Of i'm

REMARKABLE EscApE.-On Monday
afternoon two children, one about ten
years of age and the other about six,
mounted dirt cart in the absence Of
its driver, that was employed in draw
ing away earth, on the margin of the
high bank overlooking the tunnel
Of the canal which pierces Grants Hill.
The children succeeded in urging the
horse into motion, and being blind, and
his head directed towards the tunnel, he
walked directly over the bank, and was
precipitated headlong to the bottom a
distance noless than 10 feet. Neither of
the children we're seriously injured, and
one of them was running about in few
minutes afterwards as asifnothing had hap
pened. The horse and cart also esca-

AGRlcuLTURE.-Ours is country PEE
culary fitted for agricultural pursuits,
and if the science was properly appre-
ciated and attended to, we might, instead
of calling grain from the store houses Of
Europe for our support, become thegran-
ary Of the world. Agriculture is neglec-
ted in this country, and in proportion to
that neglect the prosperity ofthe nation
will decline. Speculation has called la
Dor from the field and employed it in
building castles in the air. 1t has de-
ceived the husbandman, by telling him
of an Ell Dorado in the valley Of the
Mississippi or at the base of the Rocky
Mountains. He has left the plough in
the furrow, and the OK in the stall, and
hastened to that fairy land of promise.--
Thus, when the conquest OF Cortez dcve-
Ioped the riches Of Mexico, the whole en-
ergies of proud and exalted Spain were
directed thither-agriculture was neg
lected-gold flowed into her domains
luxury corrupted her morals--she, fell
from her high place among nations
Now look at her degeneracyl Depend
upon it, agriculture is the source Of
wealth and happiness Of this nation, and
from the day OF its permanent general
neglect, shall we date the degeneracy Of
this republic. Poughkeepsie Telegraph.
