Fonda, Montgomery county, in the
Goth year Of his age, Jacob Van Ais

From KEY WEsr.-We have the
Light of the Reef of the 18th and
Goth ult. The former states that the
long continued drouth at that place
still continues and that there has been
no rain of importance for threeImonths
past. The 'keef,' of the Goth, contains
the following particulars received by
an arrival from Havana, of the late ne
gro conspiracy, which was to begin a:
Mantanzas and TO be followed up
throughout the entire Island of Cuba.
1t is calculated (says that paper.) that
upwards Of 5000 negroes have been
killed, and they are actually stranging
rs daily, by the public executioners of
Matanzas. There were, besides, up
wards of s. ZOO confined in the lails of
Havana, Mantanzas and Cardanes; a.
mongst whom were so white women
in the Jail of Havana, who had agreed
to Garry the chiefs ofthe negroes. A
mulatto was to be made President, and
in his house was found picture rep
resenting him in full Uniform, with
the daughter of the Marquis Arquis as
his wife, and the Marchiohness of Ar
quois washing the feet of the couple
he with poniard, threatening her If
she would not perform that Office.
One Of their plans was to put poison
in the bread, and to fall upon the
troops afterwards, and after killing or
dispensing them, they would fall upon
the white men and black women.
The white children were to be thrown
into pots of boiling oil, and only few
ofthe white and mulatto women were
to be reserved for servants. The whole
of the white women were to be killed
excepting those Of between Is and 80
years of age, who were to be kept for
their wires.-[Savannah Rep.

LEAVES AVID STALKS. Every day
adds to the utility OF the science OF
vegetable chemistry, by bringing for
ward new discoveries in The uses Of
the different parts of plants. We no.
tice that the whole family of Mr.. Ha-
vens, of Bedford, were poisoned few
days since, in consequence of eating
Rhubarb leaves, boiled as greens; and
il is feared that two Of the children
will not recover. The leaf of this
plant, Of which the stalk is used for
pies without danger, contains eousid-
cradle quantity OF oxalic acid. The
stalks have one department of the work
of Vegetation TO do, the leaves another;
and their various conformation varies

agents upon them. The root is well

WIscoEsIN.-This Territory, whose
people are agitating the question OF
admission into the family of Uncle
Sam, came into the possession of the
United States in 1916, and remained
under kind Of Military sway tilllS23,
when the counties Of Mackinack,
Brown and Crawford, were set of as
Judicial District, and a Court held at
Green Bay in that year. In 1880, the
county of Brown including the U. S.
troops, contained population of 1875
and the whole Territory about 5000
whites. On the first Of the present
month, the population is estimated a,
over 10000, and that in two years
from this, or about the time the terri
tory will become State, it will con-
tain at least 10000 souls. There
are "a counties in the Territory cover,

WHEAr Csop IN Mrcg1eAN.-We
extract the following from the last
Michigan Farmer:
The wheat crop, in the southeast
ern part of this county, (Jacksou,) and
in the section OF Washtenaw which we
visited, has been, and is being materi-
ally injured by the ravage Of insects.
While some fields are but slightly in
iured, in others the crop will hardly be
worth harvesting. We found some
farmers engaged in blowing up their
wheat fields for spring crops, or TO
summer fallow. The wheat which
was sown early, is more generally
clear of the insect than that sown late.
Can any of our correspondents give a
preventive or remedy to destroy the
insect?
We are also advised of insects in
other and distant sections of the State.
A friend writing from Oakland county,
under date of May llth, says: "The
wheat in our section of the country is
being injured by the insect, so preva-
lent ia some seasons. The injury is
not slight, but will be destructive TO
some entire fields. Cannot you, or
your correspondents, give us remedy
for it," We have similar statement
from St. Joseph county; and if the ac-
counts we have received are correct,
we fear, and feel warranted in assert
ing, that the wheat crop OF Michigan
will this year be unusually light.
