THE SALT WORKS.

We took occasion some weeks since to
notice the commencement Of the manufac-
ture of salt at the works of Mr. Lyons, after
numerous delays incident to the starting Of
such an enterprise in a new country, since
which, we are are happy to state they have
been untinteruptedly in operation, and as
we learn from the workmen, turning off salt
at the rate of about fifty bushels per day.
This we believe consumes all the water of
the present well, and the salt produced is Of
the purest kind
We think now the people Of western
Michigan can depend upon a supply of
this Necessary article from their own terrific
ry, if nothing further happens to impede
the progress Of the manufacture This is
grand desideratum, and will prevent
large drain which New York has hereto
fore made upon us.-Grand Rapids En-

DREADFUL STATE OF PUBLIC
FEELING

The Usage Valley" paper publish
ed at Warsaw, Benton county, Missouri, on
the 9th ultimo, contains the proceedings
OF public meeting of the citizens of that
county, convened for the purpose Of ex-
pressing their determination, and making
arrangements to arrest the high handed
and murderous conduct Of certain persons,
whom the meeting represent as having
combined, formed themselves into COM
panies, and arrayed themselves against
each other with deadly and increasing hos
tility." The proceedings also state, that
several individuals have already been way
laid and killed, others have been tied up
and whipped most horribly and but'recently,
the sheriff, and a couple of friends we're
shot at by several persons, who were con-
cealed behind an ambuscade. Indictments
have been found, and arrests and trials have
been had, but the laws are regarded as tho
they were not. The members Of the meet
ing express the belief that, unless the iu-
dlcial and executive officers of the county
be more vigilant and firm in ferreting out
the perpetrators ofthese horrid crimes, and
holding them to a more strict accountability
the worst is yet to come, which, in the
language of the meeting, will be " exter-
minating collision" or, in other words, q
desolating civil war, of the bloodest charac-
ter.-Paris Sent.

KILLING HOGS AND SALTING
PORK

Methods Of remoriug The hair, practised
IN England. In one, the part of the ami
NAL to be scalded is covered with q thick
woolen cloth, and this is kept saturated
with hot water till the hair and scurf comes
OFT easily and smoothly. and this process is
continued by removing the cloth. till the
whole is finished. In those parts of the
country celebrated for their bacon, as
Hampshire and Lincolnshire, instead of be-
ing scalded. it is singed. He is lain on his
side, covered with dry straw, which is burnt
off, and the operation is repeated until the
hair is destroyed. The reason given for
this is, that scalding soltens the Skin, and
renders it impossible to make the pork into
bacon OF the first quality. In this country
scalding is universally practised, and is
generally performed in tub or kettle, and
II etteetually performed, is perhaps the best
way, on the whole, that can be adopted.
After hog is killed and dressed, the
operations of sailing and packing are to be
performed, and on these much is depending.
Hogs should never freeze before cutting up
but should be Thoroughly cooled before cut
ting and sailing. lfthey hang out all night
unless there is danger of freezing, they
will cut up better, take the salt well, and
make tar swectcr pork, than if the opera
ton OF cutting and sailing is hurried through
before there has been time to cool. Heavy
thick hogs require particular attention to
beng spread open, or there is great danger
OF their spelling in the thickest part near
the back bone. We have known fine hogs
n NV, 10
haste in taking them down, and not airing
them fully, that they wore lost to the grow
er. lie Particular, then that your hogs
cool we'll Before commencing operations
1t is necessary that every thing be in order
for packing: that the tubs and barrels are
perfectly tight; and then the pork may be
cut according to the purpose Of the proprie-
tor, whether intended for bacon, barreling
or domestic use.
None bat good salt should be used in
packing pork. Rock salt, or Onondaga
coarse salt, in the best, and where it can be
obtained, should always have the prefer
ence. The common salt Of Onondaga or
kenhawa, or Turks Island, will do very
we'll; but all Of these have some impurities,
that more or less injuriously affect the meat
Perhaps there is no salt superior to the
Onondaga coarse salt, or that made by evap-
Grafton, for any purpose where strength and
purity are the main considerations. At
Cincinnati, the great pork market Of the
United States, so lbs. of Turks Island salt
is used to a barrel, or 200 lbs of pork and
in addition to this, salt added to water to
the point of saturation, or strong brine, is
used to fill the barrels after heading. OF
rock salt, or Onondaga coarse, from half a
bushe to three pecks is used for 500 bis,
the barrels to be afterwards filled with sat-
urated brine.

WHAT DOES THAT YOUNG MAN
DO FOR \ IIViNGa

"W hat does that young man do for liv-
lngE IS the common inquiry, as some fop-
push, well dressed individual passes BY
IN othlng-nothing at alp is the free uent
reply. but what supports him in his ex-
travagance? None can tell-but we be-
ing Yankee have the privilege of guessing.
That young man who dresses in fine broad
cloth, carries a cane, and is SO extremely
polite to his acquaintances-espe the
ladies-is the son of man in moderate
circumstances, who finds it difficult to sus-
tain himself with moderate income. His
son wishes to be gentleman, and live
without labor. The father, in his folly,
refuses to put him to trade, or set him TO
work on farm, hoping something may
turn up, by and by, when business will be
better, for his son TO obtain q good living
without work. lie is now obliged to dis
pensc with the luXuries Of lta-prehaps
with It's comiorts-lor his son to keep up
appearances, and so into good society, as
that kind of company is termed, where
young men have nothing to do but dress ac-
cording to the latest fashion. He is quite
Independent, and uses language to his sem
Tors, that might be considered uncourteous
in king. He faces all classes and con-
dltions without a blush. and dares to look
with contempt on the honest apprentice,
whose generous soul would outweigh q
thousand as light as his own. The com
pan!on5 he chooses are like himself, puffed
up with vanity, swelling with importance
and who make Il pretcnce of doing some
thing by occasionally visiting lawyers
othce to read page or two OF Blackstone
The end OF such a youth it needs no pro-
phetc eye to see. 1T is as plain as the way
to murkel,' as DR.. Franklin would say, that
he viii! turn out a low, despised and msera-
ole tool. Perhaps the penitentiary will
bring him uP-perhaps the gallows. But
If he escapes these, he will hang like an
incubus on those Of his friends who for pity
sake have not the heart to send him where
he deserves.
The above is true picture of many of
the young men who may be seen daily in
our streets. You meet them at every COR
ner, in all public resorts, at all parties of
Pleasure,-ridimg, sailing, talking, laughing
joking cternally, apparently with money
enough, more impudence, and less brains.
But how they all contrve to keep soul and
body together, without work, always spend
ing and never earning, we confess is some
times mystery to us. When project of
pleasure is talked of, the expenses are last
though OF and least considered Of one
thing we are certain, that we are fast verg-
ing to q nation ofpaupers. 1t is impossible
for US 10 live long in idleness, enjoying the
Injuries, and blessings of life, without
greatly diminishing the resources of COM
fort and wealth. 10 be prosperous as
people, each must do his part at least do
sufficient labor to gain his own support.

BOUNDLEsSNEss OF THE CREATION.

BoUNDLEssNEss OF THE CREATION
About the time Of the invention of the tel
escope, another instrument was formed,
which laid open scene no less wonderful,
and rewarded the inquisitive spirit of man.
his was the microscope. The one led me
to see system in every star; the other
leads me to see world in every atom
The one taught me that this mi ghty globe,
with the whole burden of its people and its
countries, is but a grain Of sand on the
high field OF immensely; the other teaches
me that every grain Of sand may harbor
within it the tribes and families of a busy
population. The one told me of the insig-
niticancy of the world tread apon. The
other redeems it from all nsgnifcancy-
for it tells NE that in the leaves of every
forest, and in the flowers OF every garden,
and in the waters Of every rivulet, there
are worlds teeming with life, and number
less are the glory of the armament. The
one has suggested to me, that beyond and
above all that is visible to man, there may
be fields of creation which sweep immeasu-
rably along, and carry the impress of the
Almghty's hand to the remotest scenes of
the universe; the other suggests to me, that
within and beyond all that minuteness that
the aided eye of man has been able to ex-
plore, there may be a region of invsibles,
and that, could we draw aside the mysteri-
Gus curtain which shrouds it from our sem
ses, we might see a theatre of as many
wonders as astronomers have unfolded, a

A NOVEL SCHOOL HOUSE.

The walls of the several apartments Of
the High School at Salem, Mass. which has
been recently rebuilt on the ancient foun-
dalton laid two centuries ago, are embel-
lished with handsome drawings. In one
apartment the four walls and ceiling pre-
sent Illustrative astronomical views-the
solar system, drawn out into Ineligible de-
tails, with much beauty. In the centre Of
the ceiling is the circle of the zodiac, 20
feet in diameter. The vennlator, 81 feet
in diameter, represents the sun, the spots
being designated upon the nucleus in con-
lormity to the latest telescope observation.
The divergence of the solar ray is also
fully exhibited. The earth is represented
in four different positions, indicating the
four seasons. The moon also is described
in It's orbit, and it position so varied as to
exhibit It's four principal changes. The
globular figure of the earth is clearly
shown, and lines are inscribed upon it rep
resentlng the equator, topics and polar cir
cics. The hour lines are also marked and
numbered.
In another room geography is illustrated,
the surface of the globe being handsomely
exhibited, with the relative length Of rivers,
height OF countries, cities, &c. The geo
logical structure of the earth, strata, &c.
are also exhibited. The walls of the gram
mar school room are also made to illustrate
the general principles of grammar. Varf-
Gus instructive inscriptions meet the eye in
the several passages of the building.
clock is also placed in a conspicuous apart
ment, upon the wall of which tn G course Of
studies prescribed for the school, and ar
ranged into two divisions, is conspicuously
inscribed.
The grammar school in Salem is known
to be the first Free School in the United
States, and believed to be the first in the
world, where every person within geogra-
phlcal limits, and possessing certain rcqui-
sites OF study, has an equal right Of admis-
sion, free Of cost. 1t was founded 2O5
years ago, when the population consisted Of
less than 900 families, and has continued
without interruption, we believe, giving
thorough preparation to students for COL
lege, to the present day.
