APPRENTICES LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
We are gratifed to learn, that. at the meeting
of this Association which was held on Friday
evening last, in the Lecture room of the Bap-
fist Church, in Sharp street, foundation for
Library was laid by donations of books by sew
eral gentlemen present. Among other pro-
ceedings, was a resolution requesting donations
Of books or money from all persons who feel
interested in the moral and intellectual improve
ment of apprentices. Thisrssolution has been
made public, and will, no doubt, be responded
TO promptly by large number of persons
There is hardly reading man in the city, who
may not go through his library and select from
one to fifty volumes, which can be readily
spared for SO good purpose, and it is to be
hoped that such an appropriation of books, nc
longer in use by their owners, will be promptly
made.

WARRINGTON, Monday, Jan. ls, 1871.
Several communications were laid before the
Senate by the Vice President, one of which
was from the Navy Department, in relation TO
American water-rolled Hemp; which, it is sta
ted, is found by experiment to be equal to the
best Russia Hemp, aad that it may be used
in the Navy with advantage to the Government.
This is, certainly, matter of some moment,
in national point of view, and may be the
means of saving millions of dollars from expor-
tation.

MI. Clay, Of Alabama, made his speech IN
favor, chiefly, of Mr.. Calhoun's amendment to

for further information; which, when received
will complete the whole chain of statistics In

day, that it furnished matter of high import,
such as would astound the friends of the Pre-
emption Bill.

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BE-
FORE THEM.-The Native Americans of St.
Louis, having organized an association, several
of the papers refused to insert their Constitution
and Proceedings, even when paid for as an adj
vertisement. The Argus, which is Col Benton
organ, and opposed to the Society, contains
long address to the Irish and German s'tt|e"'S
of st. Louis The following are extracts from
the address
seAfter giving highly drawn picture OF the
objects of the Native American society, the
writer proceeds as follows:
Se.qre you prepared to submit 10 this dssTe-
tation? I anticipate your G1lStoeT: .Neoer'
Who are the leaders in this attempt to dbTidse
our privileges2 Who are they that talk OF pau
Der emigrants and criminals"
Again he says:
esNIy principal object in addressing you, my
.o-mates and brothers in exile, is to place
-ou on yonr guard against the Vaccinations of
his party As yet it too insignificant TO excite
INV thing but contempt; but we know not how
ar its ramifcations may extend. l would sug-
rest the propriety of forming counter associa-
ion under the title of the 0UTlited Irish and
German, Society," l doubt not but we shall
ind in our ranks eeheads to plan and hands to
orm basis of society to GStorish the Natives;
nd it shall go hard,
sBut we will delye one yard below their mines,
And blow them TO the noon"
Think of that !! An association of foreigners
Or the avOwed purpose of DISTINGUISHING native

REPORT OF THE VISITERS OF THE JAIL OF

seldom or never see put forward; it is the debt
which the father and husband owe to his chill

him of the means of paying his debt but OF pro-

barbarous and cruel practice that works so much

Domestic Silk.

From a communication in the Nor
thern Journal, from Mr.. J. II. Leonard,
it appears that several persons have fed
silk worms in Carthage in this state, the
past season, with great success. He
saws he fed 5000 worms of the peanut
kind-that not 80 died during feeding,
and that the Cocoons were very pros
ductive and large. He also fed with
complete success, about $4,000 OF the
mammoth white and sulphur kind, the
cocoons being of unusual size, weigh
ing about 1873 to pound, requiring
from 1880 to l4O0 cocoons to make
one pound of reeled silk. "One acre
of land" says Mr.. Leonard, "properly
set to Multicaulus Mulberries, and well
cultivated, and fed to the mammoth silk
worm, will produce from 100 TO l3O
pounds Of reeled silk, worth Sc a pound,
which will amount Zone acre) TO 500.
The expense of feeding, the three first
months would not be more than the
time Of one woman to feed them, and a
boy ten years old to pick the leaves the
first two weeks, and the help of boy
or girl the third week, would be all that
would be necessary."-Albany Guilt

A Town spanned by q Rail Road.

A Liverpool letter of the 5,h inst, thus describes
q remarkable vaduct:
Las, week was completed the greatest work OF
its kind ever executed ia this country. This is the
Stockport viaduct. The contractors being Liver.

James Holmes, builjers,) hundreds OF people from
this place went on Dec 2lst to view its completion.
The Manchester and Birmingham direct line Of rail
way now runs oVer, not through, the town of Stock.
port. The aches literally stride over that large
town. Standing in valley, in Cheshire, the town
Of Stockport is too low for the level of the railroad
Mr.. Buck, the engineer, had the first stone laid on
the 10th of March, 1885, and the las', or cap.tone
on the 2lst December, 1910. Thus, in 2l months,
was completed vaduct hased on the solid rock
of 26 arches-22 of 63 feet span, and 4 of 90 feet
span. The length is 1856 feet It stands IL feet
above The Mersey, which flows beneath and is thus
feet higher than the Menai Blidgr. The found.
alton, in the sandstone, is f. ct deeI, and feet OF
stone work above ground. From thence TO Inc
sprnsing OF these arches the piers are of brickwoIk
aud the huge bends Of the same material. Brick
Mas used as less likely, when we'll made, to chr.
splinter, or decay. The whole cost, G7O 900. The
utmost settling in the whole work, after taking tho
wooden supporters from the arches, is half an
inch.
A great saving has been effected by RAISING thi.
vaduct TO such height, as i, reduces the works on
each side of the valley, and lessons the !expenss
f5O,000. l. has been made l7s6 feet long, because
they had to span all the streets 1t is the first time
that, for such great work, brick has been chiefly
employed. This great work will long be matter
Of wonder to the world.

Mr.. Carlin in Butler county, Penna.,
swallowed a threaded needle a few
weeks since, which lodged in the throat
within few inches Of the stomach.
Physicians were called in who resortcd
to a curious method to relieve their pa

the thread attached to the needle into

cured and a gum tube passed down o.

From the Kentucky Farmer.
HLnRoDsRuRG, L

HAnRoDsBuno, DEC. l6, ls40.
Mr.. BRowN We have noticed in
the Farmer" this fall, several commu-
nications on the subject of the improved
breeds of Swine, which we carefully
examined, and we claim the privilege
Of giving our trials and experience on
this matter.
In the summer of 1888, melted by the
high and flattering accounts given in
the eastern papers on this subject, we
procured from Mr.. A. B. Allan, of Buff
falo, New York, five head of thorough
bred Berkshires, which he had careful
ly selected for his own use, and from
the high estimation in which they and
their progeny are held, by those who
viewed them with impartial eyes, we
are induced TO believe, he manifested
no small judgment in the selection.
We procured also about the same
time, from our ncighbors at Pleasant
Hill, a few of the same stock, and an
Irish pig, of the stock of Mr.. Letton OF
Bourbon, and Bedford from Mr. Clay.
From this start we have raised u choice
race of swine, and have been enabled
to test the relative value Of each stock,
as thoroughly and accurately as can be
done.
In our opinion, the Berkshire is the
prince of hogs, and we are sustained in
this opinion by the fact, that we have
sold every pig from our original stock
at $40 a pair, to persons in various parts
of this an other states, and we have not
been enabled to supply all who have
called on US. In consequence of the in
creased demand for them, we parted
with one of our breeding sows, at 500,
and a male pig. which we had procu-
red for our own use, at $50, when 4
months old.

Native Wealth.

A late geological survey OF New
Hampshire has resulted in the dlscove>
ry of valuable mine of tin ore, in Coos
county, at the base of the White Noun
tains, so pure as to yield thirty or forty
per cent. A similar survey in New
York has proved the existence Of steel
ore in Franklin and Clinton counties.
which possesses all the properties OF
manufactured steel, in an inherent state.
Such, discoveries as these are worth
all the schemes for the "regulation OF
the currency" which the last fifty years
have developed, and the schemes "to
boot"
