The OHIO EvER-BEARING RASPBERRY
We have here Raspberry, which | feel conf
dent, IS unknown out of this neighborhood, and
which is considered by all who know il, to be
the most valuable variety cultivated. have
repeatedly urged it upon different individuals,
who have for some time grown it, to give us a
notice OF 1t, but without sue cess; and as think
that so important plant has already remained
too long unnoticed, | shall now publish what
know OF 1t. | unfortunately neglected to pre-
pare botanical description until the plant was
out OF bloom, but so far as can, / shall do SO
yet.
Mr.. LoNGwoRTH, who, next to the Shakers
at Union Village, was the first to appreciate
and grow this valuable plant, has most oppor-
timely handed me a few remarks on the subject,
part of which / will quote in preference to
what had myself prepared. He says; 81 first
met with the ever-bearing raspberry in October,
1882, when driven TO the interior by the cholera.
1t was first found about fifteen years ago, in
the State of Ohio, near the lakes. The fruits
very superior in flavor, and most resembles the
native annual bearing raspberry, bat is much
larger, finer favored and more fesby. At my
table, when set down with the White Antwerp,
almost an equal number ofthose who partake of
both, give the former the preference 1t produ-
ces an abundant crop of fruit, sfgor he wood of
the preceding year, little earlerl ian any other
raspberry. The old wood then ceases TO bear,
and dies before fall, and the succeeding crops
through the season are from the new wood,
which also produces the abundant June crop of
the following year. 1t never throws up suck.
ers, but is increased by the end of the new
wood, which early in September takes rapid
/ growth, droops over, and each throws out from
three to six small shoots, the points of each of
which take root Immediately on their reaching

Jersey-their summers are cooler than ours, and
with them they bear better than with me, during

SrEAAt-PRESSURE INDICATOR AND SAFETY
VA1.vE.-At the last meeting of the Society OF
Arts, the gold Isis medal was awarded to Mr.
Robert McEwen, for mercurial guage, which
answers the double purpose Of an indicator OF
steam-pressure and safety-valve for engine BOZ
lers. The novelty of the invention consists IN
tbe emplovment of mercurial tube safe
vent for the steam (these tubes having hitherto
been used only as indicators of pressure) and OF
a length sufficient to allow the steam to acquire
a DANGEROUS degree of pressure without giving
any other notice of the fact than that which may
be observed by the eye. As the action of MIR.
McEwen's safety-valve depends on purely PITY
steal principle, viz. the opposition of the elastic
force of steam to the static pressure of mercury
without a mechanical obstruction of any kind,
it affords free vent for the steam when its pres
sure exceeds the limit, corresponding to the length
to which the tubes are adjusted, according to the
strength of the boiler.

BHLLs.-In China, where bells were invented
and FIRST introduced, they were used for the pur-
pose Of clearing the air of evil spirits, and were
made of an enormous size. Soon after the Con-
quest, they were brought into England, on ac-
count of their supposed power over internal spi-
rits and old records say, that the tollng of bells
kept spirits of darkness from assauting believers
They were thought to be peculiarly ethcacious
in subduing the power of the devil during storms,
and were therefore always rung with ardor while
the war of elements prevailed. The Dutch are
particularly fond of bells In Amsterdam, it is
said, that not not less than thousand bells are
kept constantly ringing, to the no small edihca-
ton of the native inhabitants, and the annoy
ance of foreigners, some of whom, with delicate
nerves, are glad to escape as speedily possible
Every church and public building is hung around
with them in endless variety, and they are kept

lean task, often with science and dexterity.-
The Russians adopted bells in the tenth century
Their famous bell at Moscow, weighing fsrty-
three thousand pounds, when put in motion,
will agitats the surrounding country for forty
miles around. These facts will indicate to us,
how little we knew of bells in this country. We
are not musical people after this fashion, and
long may we remain, in respect to bells, behind
the good people of Amsterdam. The spirits Of
evil that infest this quarter of the globe, would
be little afraid of bells, it is thought, or aay
other physical contrivance; and if we are TIC

NOISE AND SoUND.-There is a marked dis
tinction, says Gardner, in his Music of Nature,
between noise and musical sound. Noise is a
confused mixture of sounds produced by the cen
cussion of non-elastic bodies; whereas musical
sound is pure harmonious effect, emanating from
a single elastic body, as the tone of bell It's
curious fact, that musical sounds fly further,
and are heard at greater distance, than those
which are more loud and noisy. If we go on the
other side of town, during fair, says tho
same writer, at the distance of a mile, we hear
the musical instruments; but the din of the null
titude, which is overpowering in the place, can
scarcely be heard, the noise dying upon the spot.
1t is known to musical performers, that the vio-
Inns made at Cremona about the year 1860, are
superior in tone to any of later date, age SEEM
ing to dispossess them of their noisy qualities,
and leaving nothing but the pure tone. If a
modern violin is played Iby the side of these
instruments, it will appear much the loudest OF
the two, but on receding one hundred PAGES,
when compared with the .4niati, it will be
scarcely heard. The human voice in some coun-
tries, especially in mild climates, exhibits a
purity of tone, that is unrivalled by any instru-
ment The vocal chords withinthe larynx, being
of the most elastic substance, and the same time
endowed with living principle that is directly
subservent to their use, vibrate with power Pc
culiar to their function, and produce sounds of
the purest musical character. Consequently, the
human voice, in right states of the atmosphere,
has been heard at a remarkable distance. 1t Is
stated that the human voice has been heard at
Gibraltar, at the distance of ten miles.

MORGAN FESTIVAL.

We have but few words in relation TO the gathe-

Early on Tuesday morning. every hill ard every

the whole Wing population Of the County, as well
as number Of loco focos who seemed inclined to
listen to the discussion of the political topics Of the
day. Byeleven o'clock, numerous delegations ar
rived from Berkeley County, and from Maryland.
The whole company, including several hundred Of
our fair country women, arrayed in procession
under the direction Of Col. WILLIAM HARRISON,
Chief Marshal and several efficient Assistant and
marched to the Festival Ground, accompanied by
the La Fsyet,e Bard Of this place, and skilful

when the procession again formed and return

sembled in the Court House, where the discussion
was resumed and continued until 10 O'Clock, by
Messrs. EDMusD +. HUNTER Of Berkeley, HgsRY
BERRY of Jefferson, and Rich. w. BARTON, Esq.
Mr.. Faulkner was then called upon to conclude
with address in accordance with the arrange
ments previously made, but suggested by way Of
apology the lateness Of the hour and the extent to
which the discussion had already been prolonged,
and adjourned the meeting
We are happy to record the fact, in just praise Of

FACT versus PREDICTION.

For some time previous to the late Election, in
the Z" Washington County Democrat" printed at
Hagerstown, Md, we observed the following pro-
phecy:
Our Prediction 500 majority for M. Van
Buren, and Richard NJ. Johnson, in old Democratic
Washington county, in November next"
We smiled often at this specimen OF the Editors
prophetic talent; and we were not astonshed that
the Richmond Enquirer should set down Maryland
as certain for Van Buren,, when these Democratic
editors in their paper, would gravely prophesy such
a result, as the above, in one county. AS evden-
ced by the late Delegate election. they have missed
the mark by just $50, votes This consolation,
| howevere, is theirs they did not wander
more. in setting down Washington county as loco
foco by 500 majority, than the Enquirer did, nPul.
ting down the State as cen tain for Van Buren,.
| Our knowledge of the strength Of political par
ties in the county, led us to look upon the declara-
ton of the Democrat, as mere gasconade; and the
late contest has justified the correctness Of our
views. But, at the same time we felt no astonish-
men,, as it seems to be the determination of the
party leaders, TO bolster up the falling fortunes OF
their house, by regular system of Dragging
and eropiag previous to contest with the Wings,
and il defeated, to mistify every thing connected
with the battle so as to rally their disprited for
ces in another quarter But it will not do. Thanks
to their shortsightedness the abuse and scandalous
alschoods of the loco oco orators and ne wspapers
have ensured the election of HARRISON and TYLER;
and Dragging and eroriRg, or Intentional hood
thinking of friends, on their part, will not undo
what their former disgraceful warfare has rendered
certain. We half suspect, that the whole plan is
gotten up to stimulate their spirits rather than
to operate upon their opponents just as frightened
boys In dark forest, whistle to keep he ghosts
away.
