New mode Of destroying the Black Grub
or Cut Worm.-The destruction of crops
by the cut worm is inculcable in most parts
of the United States, and countless RENE
dies have been offered, but not one that
strikes US more forciby than the following
taken from a number Of the Genesee Far
mer. The whole secret consists in turn
ing up the ground with plow during win
ter SO as to freeze the eggs. A cores
pondent of Judge Tucker says: Zone of
my neighbors wishing to try the expert
ment, broke up one ofhis fields, adjoining
the field Of another neighbor-the fields
being separated only by worm fence
during warm spells in winter, when the
ground ploughed during the day would
freeze at night. The spring following he
again broke up the ground and planted it
in com, but not cut worm was to be seen
the whole season, while his neighbor, who
ridiculed the idea Of breaking up ground
in the winter TO prevent the cut worm from
destroying the corn, broke up his in the
spring and planted it also in corn; but what
was his surprise when he saw his field
filled with cut worms and his corn almost
destroyed, while the adjoining field Of his
neighbor remained unmolested" The wri-
ter says, many experiments have been
made and with universal success.

WEEKLY MADISONIAN
ron THE NEXT SESSION or CONGRESS


The approaching session OF Congress will,
doubtless, be one of great interest. II will
close up some, at least, Of the affairs pf Mr..
Van Buren's administration, and usher In the
more suspicious dawn Of a new and better
order Of things. The scenes in Congress will
probably be exciting. On one side we shall
see the struggles Of an expiring faction, and
on the other triumphant party, armed with
the confidence of the people, imposing judi
cious restraints upon the convulsive throes OF
their opponents and shielding their country as
far as possible from the dangers of malignant
and reckless violence, and eodeavoring to avert
the embarrassments which defeated men, stung
with disappointment, will seek to throw in the
way of the new administration. On the Sd of
March next, ~ o'clock, p. NJ, Mr. Van Burens
dull star will vanish, and Immediately in its
place shall we behold appearing the rising Sun
of HARRISON.
On the 4th of March, Gen. Harrison, as
President Of the United S,ztes, will attend in
the Chamber Of the House of Representatives
to take his oath Of Office, according TO the di.
rection Of the Constitution. On his entrance
as on the entrance OF Washington, and Jeifer-
son, and Madison, the audience will not be a.
BILE TO restrain their disposition To applaud.
Having taken his seat on the elevated chair Of
the Speaker of the House Of Represe natives,
the Vice President, NJ, Van Buren,, Gfpresent,)
and the Secretary of the Senate on his right,
the Speaker and Clerk of the House of Repre-.
seniatiyes on his left, and the Chief Justice OF
the United States and Associate Judge at the
Clerks table, be will proceed to deliver his In.
augural speech, alter which he will receive the
oath of Office from Mr.. fancy, the chief JUS
tice. He will then retire, and such huzzas
will go up from the multitude around the cap
iiol as have never been heard.
Such will be among the interesting incidents
which will occupy the columns Of the weekly
Madisonian. The paper win contain leading
speeches. spirited sketches of the debates, and
summary or tne results OF rDe proceedings ia
Congress, together with the general and polit-
ical news Of the day. II viii contain the off,
cial returns OF the vote in the Electoral Col
leges for President, which will be opened in
the presence Of Congress, and the inaugural
Address Of the President. This will include
the time compfehended between the opening
OF Congress in December and its adjournment
on the 4th of March Subscription price from
this period FIFTY CENTS. Terms cash,
in advance. Bank notes Of every description
received al their specie value. Postmss,ers
will act as agents and be allowed acommission

ject; giving us their ideas as TO the importance

safety valve, received what he describes NJ
severe blow, which nearly caused him to fall;
he, second time, attempted II, and receiseda
similar blow. This having been made known.
an examination Of the boiler followed, and il
was found that the steam which was escaping
from "bioicor" near 10 the safety valve was
highly charged with electricity. Our inform
ant states that on himself placing one hand in
the steam, sparks upwards OF half an Inch in
length were emitted from the other. and this
while he stood upon the masonry which was
surrounding the boiler; so that had he been
upon glass stool the effects would have been
much greater. We are glad to hear that this
discovery is being followed up by experiments
on other boilers. When the discovery was
made, il was considered by many TO be owing
to the quality OF the water used, which was
pumped from the coal mine; subsequently.
however, on trying the steam from a locomo-
tive engine on the Newcastle aud North Shields
railway, great quantity ofelectriciiy was OBJ
tanned, and the water used 10 this case was
from tho river Tyne. The subject 10 highly
interesting, and we hope the discovery may
