USEFUL RECEIPTS: Remedy for Cattle When
Choked By Roots and Other Substances dis
tinguished farmer gives the following account
of remedy for cattle when choked. He says
81 have used rope about six feet In length
which being well tarred and SerUed, (strongly
wound round with twine,) and when finished to
be one inch in diameter. When put down the
throat it should be pushed gently four feet and
a half into cow or OK. In cold weather it is
stiff enough. but in warm weather it should be
wet with cold water before it is used" He
says he has never known this TO fail Of produ-
cling the desired efect.-COmplete Farmer.
Those who make candles will find it great
Improvement to steep the wicks in lime water
and saltpetre, and dry them The fame is
clearer, and the tallow will not ''run"
Britannia ware should be first rubbed gently
with wooden cloth and sweet Gill; then washed
with warm suds and rubbed with soft leather
and whiting Thus treated, it will retain its
beauty TO the last.
New iron should be very gradually heated at
first, after it has become inured TO the heat, it
is not as likely to crack
1t is good plan TO put new earthen ware in
to cold water, and let 1t heat gradually until it
boils, then cool again. Brown earthen ware, n
particular, may be toughened in this way. A
handful rye or wheat bran put in while it is
boiling will preserve the glazing, SO that it will
not be destroyed by acid or salt.
Clean brass kettle, before using it for cook
ing, with salt and vinegar.
The oftener carpets are shaken the longer
they wear; the dirt that collects under them
grinds out the threads.
If you wish to preserve fine teeth, always
clean them thoroughly after you have eaten
your last meal at night.
Woollens should be washed in very hot suds,
and not rinsed. Luke warm water shrinks
them.
Do not wrap knives and forks in woollens.
Wrap them in good strong paper Steel is in
jured by lying in woollens.
Suet keeps all the year round, If chopped and
packed down il a stone jar covered, with mo-
lasses.
Barley straw is the best for beds; dry corn
husks slit into threads are better than straw
When molasses is used for cooking, it is a
prodigious improvement TO boil and skim it be-
fore you use it; it takes out the unpleasant raw
taste, and makes it almost as good as sugar
Where molasses is used much for cooking it is
well to prepare or 2 gallons at time.

Websfer's Reply TO Hayne.

The Washington correspondent OF the boston
Atlas relates an anecdote in relation TO the
celebrated reply Of Mr.. Webster to Mr.. Hayne
that has never before been published. At the
time Mr.. Hayne made his attack, Mr. Gales of
the National Intelligencer, who has been the
most accomplished reporter in the country,
chanced to be in the Capitol. Hearing that
Mr.. Webster intended to reply, and being told
by him that it would be a short one, he under
took once more his long neglected vocation of
a reporter. Instead, however, of consuming
about half an hour, as Mr. Webster had prom
ised in the commencement, as is well known,
the Senate adjourned before be had finished
Mr.. Gales continued to take note of every
word, in the momentary expectation OF his
concluding.
Unwilling to leave off before Mr.. Webster
had finished, Mr.. Gales continued the next day
until he had concluded But when he came
to look a. the notes, the magnitude Of the task
that it would be to write them out, appeared so
formidable, that he shrunk from it as an impos-
sibiity with the many other engagements that
occupied his time
Soon after, Mr. Webster called upon Mr..
Gales to request report of his speech, as 1t
was Impossible Tor the former 10 give any tnlng
beyong mere sketch, having spoken unpre-
meditatedly, and to much greater length than
he had any expectation of doing when he be-
gan Mr.. Gales expressing his utter inability
to comply, his lady, who had been in the habit
of assisting her husband in reading his notes
when a reporter, undertook the task, and in
the course of week Mr. Gales submitted TO
Mr.. Webster full report of his speech in the
handwriting of his wife. 1t will be remem-
bered that the speech of Mr. Webster was not
published until after a delay of several weeks.
1t was owing to these circumstances. Mr.
Gales has now in his possession the notes,
handsomely bound.
1t is stated that Mr.. Webster did not change
five words in the whole report. This is one of
a very few instances on record, in which We
have masterpiece OF eloquence, taken down
as it fell from the lips of the speaker

Prayer after sElIpwreck.

The following affecting incident is detailed
in letter from one of the Sandwich Island
Missionaries, to Rev. DR.. Armstrong agent of
the Board of Foreign Missions and published
in the n Y Commercial:
''About the time Of our leaving home, sor-
rowful providence occurred The brethren al
Honolulu, fearing that we should not venture
upon canoe, engaged vessel, which was to
90 to Hawaii for Mr.. Lyons. and TO call on It's
return and take US The vessel made It's pas
sage to Hawaii, and when near its place of des-
tination was capsized, and lost. All on board,
consisting Of thirty souls, were drowned except
four. These seemed to be miraculously pre-
served to tell the sad tale of the fate of their
companions.
When the accident occurred they were near
the shore. but the wind and current was against
them, and thinking it vain to attempt to reach
Hawaii, they congregated themselves upon the
rolling pillows, and there together in their dis
tress offered up their supplications to Him who
alone could preserve them from the threatening
deep.
They attempted to swim to Kahoolura, some
thirty miles on the opposite side of the Chan
mel. One man and his wife took a covered
bucket and tied it to their bodies, and in this
way swan until the bucket came to pieces
The female swan for some time, but on turn
ing she saw her husband becoming too weak to
support himself She stopped and rubbed him
until he could proceed. They went on until
Kahoolura was full in sight; he then became
too weak to proceed without assistance, and
supported himself by holding to the long hair
of his wife's head In this way she towed him
for some time; his hand soon let go the hold and
she tried in vain to arouse him. She told him
ne must pray--he commenced, but only uttered
a few words.
She put his arms around her neck-held
him with one hand and made for the shore
When within about half mile from the shore,
she found he was dead, and she was compelled
TO let go her hold to support herself They had
then been in the water about thirty hours.
When she landed she was three days before
she saw human being, and was without food
At length some fishermen found her, and con-
veyed her 10 the village, where she is now in
good health The captain of the vessel was
foreigner, and could swim but little, his wife
saved herself by the assistance of an oar. The
others disappeared from time to time until all
perlshed but the four"

Singular Fishing.

On Wednesday the 30th ult. a Newfound-
land dog, belonging 10 Mr.. Cameron, Tontine
Hotel, Preblies, captured fine salmon in the
Tweed, in the following singular manner
Hector, for such is the dogs name) is exceed
ingIy fond of the water; so much so, that when
ever he gets loose from the chain, he is off to
the river, and with the greatest industry brings
to land all the drift wood, &C. floating down
the stream. On Wednesday the 30th ul'
while thus employed. he was observed i.y
some boys to dive suddenly under the water.
where he remained entirely out of sight for
about half minute. When he rose again 10
the surface he had salmon in his mouth
which was struggling violently TO escape; bnl
he held it fast in his capaciOus jaws, and
brought it safe to land and would on no ac-
count quit his prize, until he carried II safe
home TO his master The fish was of the real
salmon tribe, and weighed about four pounds,

AN AcTIve MEMBER OF FAMnY-Blll

from Mrs. Simpson one day, told her he was SO

that he believed he must lie down and try to

"Repose! Mr.. Simpscnl dumping up and pa

"SrATIoNARY. An officer in Mississippi,
charges the State with two quarts of brandy,
under the head of ''quills, ink, and stationary"
Although he may not have fully carried out the
measures OF the government, he makes some
empty pretensions at least. In early times in
Missouri, when the people were not so enlight-
ened as al present, the members of the Legis-
lature, and other officers at the capital, asked
to charge their grog bills to the State, under

which have superseded ancient vulgarisms:
1t is astonishing how refined people are get
