RAISING TOO BIO BREEzR.-A fe!-
low by the name of Thomas Clough, devils.
ed the following ingenious plan for sraising
the wind but uniuckity was caught IN his
own trap. He was acquainted with re-
spectacle farmer in Vermont, whose son
resided somewhere in the western world,
the whereabouts unknown; so he gave him
an ideal residence for the time being in this
city, and wrote the father letter as coming
from his son in this place, representing hun
sick and in want of SlU0, which he wished
forwarded immediately.-The letter was
signed with the sons signature, but to
avoid detection the P. IS. stated that on
account of his illness it was written by the
landlord.
The letter reached its destination, but the
son had been made too sick. The alarmed
father, instead of sending the money, des-
patched another son to visit him. The
two brothers met accidentally in Buffalo,
and the trick was detected. They wrote
an account of it to our P. NJ, and gave him
permission to use their names for the de-
lection Of the impostor. Thereupon the
Post Master writes the would be son let
ter from VT, promising to send the money
in few days. Mr.. CIough called and took
it out of the office, and stated that it was
all right. The Post Master then wrote an
other and advertised it. The customer
called of course, and while tho clerks were
looking up the letter. which had accidental
ly got misplaced, Mr.. Blrker invited in a
police officer, who assisted the young man
to comfortable quarters in the jall.--Ciep.

/ On Monday morning last, at about half
past ten O'clock, the powder mills belonging
to Messrs. Foot and Gillett, standing about
two miles west of this village, were blown,
up. There were three distinct explosions.
at intervals of twenty or thirty seconds,
The first was the Cylinder Mil, which was,
ashort time before put in operation; and
the workmen had left but about five min.
utes preyicus-and who were at the timer
working in the Corning Mil, about five
rods distant land which blewup within,
twenty seconds, giving the men barely time
to leave the mill, and throw themselves
into the brush within twenty feet oft. And;
strange as 1t may appear they escaped
slightly injured, one without q. mark of in
jury except from heIng BACKED by the pow
der, the other received a billet Of wood in.
his breast. They had scarcely arose from
their hiding place than the packing house.,
which contained four or FIVE hundred bsr-
rels of powder exploded, prostrating them
again, and leaving not a yestige to mark the
spot on which it stood. The ground for sever
affect around was swept clean of everything.
A dwelling house standing near it was nm
roofed--two sides in, and not even joist
left standing. The plaster of the standing
walls were shaken from them. The parti-
tions broken to pieces. feather beds were
shook up and not aperson, of the six.
or seven in the house injured.
The conclusion was so great that build
ngs IN the village received considerable
injury from it. One building, at least
mile and half from the mills, had twenty
or thirty lights broken out, and another had
one window totally demolished, the casing
being carried across the ROOM. About ten,
pounds of powder ready for sale,
and nearly the same quantity manufac-
turing was .burnt.--WesJfeld (yuass.l

Morton, of the Rochester House, who
reached home this morning at l o'clock in,
an extra coach from Oswego, that he left
that port on Wednesday morning, the 18th

to violent gale; and after being exposed

AN IMPUDRNT TRIcK.-The Indianapo-
lis Journal tells the following story, which
reveals the most impudent trick that has
lately come to light" Some fellow, who
wished to have Mr.. Buskirk, the Postmater
at Bloomington, in this Stale, removed from
Office, forged letter in the name of Mr.. B.
to the Postmaster General, resigning the Of
flee, and recommending George A. John
son, Esq, as a suitable person to fill the
vacancy, Of course Mr.. Johnson was no
less surprised at receiving the appointment,
than was Mr.. Buskirk at being superseded,
without being conscious ofany fault, or that
one had been alleged against him.. He imme-
diately wrote to the Department, demanding
the cause ofhis removal. Her eceived for an
swer that it was IN accordance with his own
request. Mr.. Buskirk has as yet been un-
able TO find out the furger. He offers Sloo,
reward for his detection.

HARVESTING CORN.

The season for Harvesting our corn crops
will soon be upon US. The extremely hot
weather which we have had for fortnight
past; prior 10 the last storm, has placed
much Of the crop out of the reach of the
frost; and the yield almost universally pro-
misses to be abundant. This may be pro-
nounced the great crop of New England.
five have corn enough, we sha'l have beef,
pork and poultry enough. We do not be-
leye there is any grain which, considered
in all its aspects and uses, is SO valuable.
There are several modes of managing the
crop, the fodder and the grain: but they
are not equally eligible.
The first is to top the stalks after the ear
bas become perfectly formed and slightly
glazed. There is great danger of perform
ing this operation too early. When done
before the corn is generally hardened, the
extract experiments of William Clark, of
Northampton, Of John Lorain, of Pennsyl-
vania, and others, have demonstrated that
the loss upon the crop may amount to a
quarter or a fifth of what the crop would
otherwise be. The topping of stalks is, we
believe, an unnecessary, useless, and often
pernicious labor, and therefore not to be
advised.
The third process is, after the ear is gla-
zed and the corn has passed beyond the
boiling or roasting state, to cut it up at bot
tom and let it dry in the shock. In this
way it is early taken ou: Of the way of the
frost; the corn if properly managed ripens
perfectly dried, as by the second method de.

ERMoNT.-It is rather remarkable that
while the Locos have made considerable
gain in the southarn conties of Vermont,
which Mr.. Van Buren, did nothonor' with q
visit, during his late political tour,-in the,
northern counties, which Mr.. Van Barren
did honor with visit, the Locos have met
with very decided loss.
The good people of the northern counties,
had been so often told that Martin Van Bu-
rem was democrat, that they naturally sup
posed there was some truth in it; but when
they once came to see the dapper little dan
dy, they altered their minds at once.--Bos-

AsEcDoTR.-The late DR.. Wilson, SEN
ior fellow of Trinity College, Dublin,
though very grave man himself, was very
fond of quizzing and 5uzzling the country
people who came 10 enquire after their
friends or relations in the College. One
day seeing man standing in the court with
letter in his hand, gaping and staring
about, and not knowing where to go, he
walked gravely up to him, and inquired
what he wanted,
The man answered, "Sir, can you tell
me where | may find Mr.. DelahunteW
ayes, SAID the doctor; "do you see that
building before you!"
Yes"
Then cruelty this quadrangle, and take
the diameter of the plot beyond it; enter
the opening before you and ascend the lig-
ne GUS grades, then turn to the left and you
will find him either pcrlpatouning in his cru
bicle, dominating in his leetuary, or PEREZ
scopouting through his fenestra-"
The poor man who understood nothing
of this, and remembered not one word but
the last, said, f" And pray, Sir, what is the
fenestraH ,
To which the Doctor replied, ait is an
orifce in an edi6ce, to admit luminous par
ticles."
30, thank you," said the poor fellow,
and walked off more perplexed than before.
