The PoroMAc F1sHERrEs.--The Alex
andria Gazette states that there are ut the
present time at least fifty seines in active
operation on the Potomac river. AT ono
OF the shores a few ,nitrs below that
town, a few days since, ten thousand sind
were taken at two hanls, which is con-
sidered equal to about twenty ordinary
wagon loads. On Saturday at Washing
ton, fine shad were selling at the wharyes
at W per hundred, and herrings at 81 SO
to W IS per thousand. Last week, we
believe, all the Fisheries on the Chesa-
peake, from North Point to the head Of
Tide water, at Port Deposit, commenced
operations, and should the weather prove
favorable, We may anticipate for their pro-
priefors similar good luck to those of the
Potomac. The Chesapeake fisheries ex.
coed all others in the United States in thts
extent OF their operations and the superior
quality OF the fish taken thereat. We re-
collect witnessing as many as two thousand
shad secured Mt Sandy Beach, on Spe.
suitif ISLAND, ut u single haul, and fifteen
thousand at one of the shores Mt the mouth
OF North East River.

! Ops AND Esps.-Pork may be sailed,
particularly for bacon, without barrels -.
Nearly all the western pork is sailed in
buIk--that is, piled up in corner of a
room like. pile of bricks, and sprinkled
with dry salt. 1t is well to overhaul it
once to see that the salt touches all parts
| never ate better bacon than that made in
this way, without a drop Of pickle.
To KEEP Bacon HAMS IN SUMNER
Pack them in a flour barrel, in clean, dry
ashes, or charcoal head up the barrel and
put it up stairs, where it is dry, and cool as
possible.
PIcKLED Beer AND Pork in the
south and west, is apt to sour. Take it out
and smoke it dry-throw away the old
pickle, or cleanse it by boiling. Smoke
the barrel thoroughly, and rs-pack the
meat.
Don't throw away the udder Of your
beef cow. Sailed, smoked and dried, it is
rich, delicious eating. Boil and eat it like
cold tongue. Try il.
Lard never spoils in warm weather if it
is cooked enough in frying out.
Wash your butter thoroughly in cold
water and work out all the buttermilk
pack it in a stone jar and stop the mouth
air-tight, and it will keep sweet forever.
Tomatoes make an excellent preserve.
Sweet or Olive Oil is a certain cure for
the bite of a rattlesnaks. Apply it inter-
nally and externally.
To Curl SCRATCHES ON A HoRsE.-
Wash the legs in warm strong soap suds,
and then with beef brine. Tive a~pplica-
tons will cure the worst case.
A lump of Saleratus or Pearlash, crowd.
ed intothe pipe of poll evil or thistelow,
two or three times, will cure this incurable

TRANsGENDENTALISM.

From the Dial published in Washington.
We are spirits clad in wells;
Man by man was never seen;
All our deep communion fails
To remove the shadowy screen.
Heart to heart was never known,
Mind with mind did never meet
We are columns left alone,
OF a temple once complets.
Like the stars that gem the sky,
Far apart, though seeming near,
In our light we scattered lie;
All is thus but starlight here.
What's olr social company,
But 4 babbling summer stream!
What GU vain philosophy,
But the glancing of a dream?
I'D MARRY HIM TOMORROW.
I've no money, 80 you see
Peter never thinks of me,
own it to my sorrow.
oh, could | grow rich, and he
Be reduced to poverty,
What sweet revenge 'twould DO for ma,
To marry him tomorrow.
Peters thought almost a fool,
You have profited by school
Wit from you, folks borrow.
Peters plain, you, handsome, gay,
But if you were both to say,
"Will you have me, Gertrude, pray!"
q I'd marry him tomorrow.

LOST GRANDEUR OF SOUTH
AMERICA.

Mesrs. Catherwood and Stephens, gen.
tlemen who lately visited US on their way
to explore the ruins Of Palenque, after un-
dergoing many priyations incident t. their
researches, have arrived safely at New
York, after suffering much from stress of
weather. w, understand that they in.
tend shortly giving to the world the fruits
Of their discoveries, which canno but
prove of Immense interest, when we con-
slider the subject to be treated of; for
what can more astonish the human mind
than to hear that the deserted ruins of an
enormous city have been discovered, equal
in size to three modern Londons !; and that
too, built Of materials, the immensely and
durability of which appear almost fabulous
to modern architects. The name Of this
mighty mass Of departed greatness is abb
solutely unknown to the abrogines or pre-.
sent race, and what is more wonderful,
the very existence of SO grand a city is
absolutely unmentioned by any ancient
writer. The city is named Palenque, a
lame given it from that of an Indian vii
lage. situated in its immediate neighbor-
hood. 1t lies in a billy province of Mexi-
co, bordering on Peten; the site is remark
ably well chosen two opposite plains of
immense extent, shelving gradually to-
ward each other, but divided from approx
nation by a noble river called Usumacinte,
unite in forming q noble landscape-thus
On an open plain which gently descends
from the mountains, thq city stands, lost
in its W shadows and melancholy great
ness; the graceful palmi towering cedars,
the Towering Cieha, having now usurped
the ahodes of possible pr{adamite Princes;
and marble halls where beauty was wont
to repose and listen to the falling of trans
parent fountains, are now tenanted by the
wild beasts Of the forest. A field will thus,
in all probability, be thrown open to the
speculaaons Of the moralist, philosopher,
historian and novelist, far surprising in
point of interest the Wanted pyramids of
Egypt or the dam cities of HercuIaneum
and Pompeii-scient,ic attractions, which
through the interchangeable exertions of Duh
late yisitants, are in all likelihood in a fair
way Of being generally difused through
out the civilized world.-BaliSe paper.
