Shameful Suppression Of Information.
Most of our readers have met, in the
late papers, with numerous extracts from
the Liberia Herald, received by the last
arrivals, giving various particulars of in
formation respecting the state of things in
that colony. Among other things, was
the statement which we quoted in our last
respecting the prevalence of the slave
trade in the neighborhood, and threatening
the speedy subversion of the colony itself
AS we do not receive the Liberia Herald.
we had no reason to suppose that the
whole article was not given 1t was no,
presented as an extract. But the Chris
tian Mirror Of Dec. 6, brings US the whole
article, and it is the only colonization pa
per that has done so. The other papers
all represent the general bearing of the
accounts to be highly favorable, and ex-
hibit the condition of the colony as pros
porous and encouraging. The article
seems to have been drawn out bv view
of the present financial embarrassments
of the American Colonization Society, and
their inability to afford that RELIEF which
the poverty of the colony renders necessa-
ry. In attempting to explain tie causes
of the stoppage of the society's income, it
throws light upon the real state of the
colony, and we think it our duty to pub
lish it. and leave it for our readers to Judge
of the reason why the colonization papers
We're careful to omit this portion of the
article. The humbug scheme has never
dared to meet the light of truth. Their
own paper in Liberia has let us into the
| falstty of the statements now carried round
the country by Gurley and Cresson, and
published by the Chronicles and Observ-
ers of the day, that the colony is prosper.

Crushing Corn and Cobs..Grinding and
Cooking Provenderi
1t is evident that great many farmers
pursue a most commendable economy in
farming affairs generally, and the most
diligent industry in raising crops. and
then for want of little expense in ma
chinery for preparing grain, or suitable
apparatus for cooking it, and little time
and attention in these operations, they fire.
uuently lose from SO TO 70. and sometimes
100 per cent of their hard earnings in
feeding their stock.
Mills or machines for crushing corn and
cobs are but little used in most parts of
the country, Notwithstanding their great
utility. There is not the least doubt that
by feeding stock with crushed corn and
cobs instead OF whole corn alone, that so
or rs per cent. is added to the value of
the food ; in this operation several impor-
tant advantages are gained.
The cob is very nutritious, as appears
by experiments in dlstillalion in which the
cob produces nearly half as much spirit
as the corn, and this spirit is produced
from the saccharine matter which con-
tains the principal part of nutrition. p.
Miner, Esq, in O paper to the President
of the Albermarle Agricultural Society,
gives the result of exact experiments made
to test the relative strength Of corn and
cob BY .distillation. He took ten bushels
Of corn and cob. weighing 367 lbs. and
ten bushels pure corn meal, weighing 4OO
lbs; each were carefully distilled sepa,
rately and produced as follows-lO bush.
els corn and cob, Is gallons of spirit, 10
bushels corn, l8 gallons, each Of the same
degree Of proof
lnshis experiment FIVE bushels of corr
produced 9 gallons of spirit, and five
bushels Of corn with the cob produced /;
gallons. In eating green corn, we occa
sionally get taste of the cob, and are
sensible that it is nutritious and sweet
and why should the cob lose its nutritivs
qualities in drying any more than the
corn. they both undergo great change
both in favor and hardness Ii is neces
safy that cobs should be prepared in suct
a manner that stock will readily eat anc
digest them. This may be effected in ,
great measure by crushing them finely
but both the corn and cob would affor,
still more nutriment II they were cooked
and this process will well repay the ex

THE CHRIsTIAN soLDIER.

Occasioned By the sudden death of the
Rev. THOMAS TAYLOR, after hdring dettdr-
ed, in his last Sermon, on a preceding
erening, that he hoped to die as an old
soldier of Jesus Christ, with his sacoTd in
his hand.
"SERvANT of God we'll done;
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy masters JOY"
The voice at midnight came;
He started up to hear,
A mortal arrow pierced his frame:
He fell,-but felt no fear.
Tranquil amidst alarms,
1t found him in the field,
A veteran slumbering on his arms,
Beneath his red-cross shield:
His sword was in his hand,
Still warm with recent fight;
Ready that moment at command
Through rock and steel 10 smite.
1t was a two edged blade,
OF heavenly temper keen;
And double were the wounds it made,
Where'er it smote between:
'Twas death TO sin twas life
To all that mourn'd for sin;
1t kindled and it silenced strife,
Made war and peace within.
Of with its fiery force,
His arm had quelPd the foe,
And laid, resistless in his course,
The alien-armies low.
Bent on such glorious tolls,
The world to him was loss
Yet all his trophies, all his spoils,
He hung upon the cross.
At midnight came the cry,
To meet thy God prepared"
He ke,-and caught his Captains eye
Then, strong in faith and prayer,
His spirit, with bound,
Burst its elcumbering clay;
His tent, al sunrise, on the ground,
A darken'd ruin lay.
The pains of death are past
Labor and sorrow cease,
And life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ we'll done;
Praise be thy new employ
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Savior's JOY.

CURE FOR THE STING OLA WASP OR

AS some kinds of stock voii conside-

that they get but small share Of nutr-
ment from such grain. and that in crush
ing or grinding it, there is not only an
advantage on account Of its fneness, which
facilitates digestion, and enables animals
to receive its nutritious qualities, but the
grain being broken the soft parts are ca

would be protected by its hard coat or

are far more valuable for being ground,
and for want of economy in this respect,
very great losses are sustained and further
important advantages are gained by cook
ing. The price of some corn and cob
crushers is SIS and it is SAID that they
