. DEATH OF MRS. CILLEY


Among the items of news in the latest northern
papers, we find this announcement:
Mrs. Cley, the widow of Jonathan Cley, who
was killed in the duel with Graves, died her resi-
dence in East Thomaston, Maine, the 18th inst.
Ever Since the savage death Of her husband, her
health has been much impaired and portions Of the
time her mind has been wandering. and in the
most melancholy state"
We think if Mr.. Clay has any sensibility left,
this last knell must fall heavily upon his heart
When the bleeding body of Mr.. CiIley was borne
along the Pennsylvania avenue, and Mr.. Clay
(who had advised the revival of the controversy,
settled already between Messrs. Graves and Cifey)
perceived that sonssof his friends were appalled,
at the general grief and CONSERVATION produced by
the sight, he said, lightly, ooh! ats only a nine
days bubble" Can he now look upon the bro
ken-hearted widows fresh grave, and in the eyes
of her weeping orphans, and dismiss the subject
with as little remorse2 Although he has never
yet manifested the least contrtion for the affair
which he conducted to its fatal result, against the
advice of the responsible second, it must now
touch his heart to what years of affiiction he
has visited upon the tender-heartcd wife and moth
cr, and what gloom and sorrow and hardship are
in reserve for her hapIesss helpless offspring

The wholesale way in which harvesting i.
carried on in the broad and fertile fields of Prai
RE Romdes Michigan,-where six thousand acres
of wheat, all in body, stood this yeear,-s thus
described ina letter TO the New York Ameri
can .
The harvesting is done afrer,a fashion unknown
in our region of three or four acre fields. A
resident of the prairie has invented a machine,
which, he lets out at S per acre, which cuts the
grain, thrashes it, cleans it, and puts it in bag
rea iy for the market. It is drawn BY eight yoke
of cattle, or as many pair of horses,.-rcquires
the attendance of or 1O-men. and finishes from
90 to IS acres day The cattle are beside the
machine, and urge it onward AS it proceeds it
cuts the grain near the head-lhe straw being. of
little OF no value here. This is rapidly passed
through the other processes and is turned out into
sort of hopper behind. from which it passes into
bag-that, as fast as filed IS carried to wagons
in attendance and replaced BY others; so that
wheat standing in the morning may be -four be-
fore night Altthe grain and oats are thrashed
by machines, worked by horses fIii being
scarcely ever used
