Talzow Manufactue.-A correspondent
of the Springfield Republican gives the fol-
lowing description of one of the .manufac-
tories of the West:
There is one establishment in Lafayette,
Indiana, which, from its novelty, must not
be overlooked. 1t is steam factory OF
Tallow and Lard. The whole process is
this "A lot of cattle are purchased and
butchered, the hides cured, and the carcass
es cut up and thrown into immense caul-
drons, into which the steam from large
boiler is conducted, by which means the fat
is rapidly extracted and drawn off; then the
lean is dealt out to a lot of hogs, which to
considerable extent. are fattened on this
refuse of the carcasses Of the cattle The
hogs are served the same way, and after the
lard is extracted the carcasses are used for
the same purposes as those of the cattle
This project, though yet an experiment,
promises success. 1000 hogs are expected
to be kept in this way. Cattle in abund-
ance, fattened on the prairies, may be had
for IS to $40 each.

Bucham's
Hungarian E3aIsam of Life


Will speedily and certainly cure Consumption,
in all ordinary diseases of the Chest and Lungs,
il is the most perfect and admirable remedy
known to the civilized world.
The Hungarian Basam was first discovered
by DIR. Buchan, of London, England, and has
been tested for six years by The most eminent
Physicians in Great Britain, and on the CONT
nent of Europe, where it has proved the
GREAT AND ONLY REMEDY.
1t has recently been introduced into the Uni
ted States, under the immediate superintend-
ence Of the inventor, and is now literally sweep
ing Consumption from the land. What innoc-
uation is TO the Small Pox, the Hungarian
Balsam is to Consumption-an insurmountable
barrierl
Chemists Physicians, Medical Societies, and
the great body of Consumptive patients, every
where, admit that the most important work Of
the age has been accomplished ONS U.MP-
TION C.4N BE CURED.
All Panaceas, Expectorants, Syrups and
Drops have been discarded as useless-aIl sys-
TENS of Inhalation, Vapor Baths, Tar Smoke,
Changes Of Climate, &C., have been rejected
and the wonderful product of the HUNGARI-
AN GUM, obtained from the 'Melsonga," or
Tree Of Life, is now universally received BY
Consumptives, as the
ONLY SOURCE OF HOPE.
Let no person afflicted with a severe and OBJ
stinate Cough, inflammation OF the Lungs, Asth-
ma, or any of the symptoms OF Consumption,
lose a moment of time in seeking relief from
this GREAT ENGLISH REMEDY. De-
lays are dangerous, and all other pretended REM
edies are not only useless, but FATALLY
DELUSIVE.
| A single bottle will reveal IFS astonishing viz
tues, and open at once the fountain Of health
and strength to the afflicted.
The great merit of DR. Buchan's Basam is
this-that in all cases of Pulmonary Consump-
ton il gives IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
Every family in the United States should be
supplied with Buchan's Hungarian Balsam Of
Lille, not only TO counteract the consumptive
tendencies of the climate, but to be used as a
preventive medicine in all cases of Colds,
Coughs, Splitting of Blood, Pain in the side
and Chest, Irritation and soreness OF the Lungs,
Bronchitis, Difficulty OF Breathing, Hectic Fee
yer, Night Sweats, Emacation and General
Debility, Asthma, Influenza, Whooping Cough
and Group.
Price OF the Balsam only one dollar per bot

sumption, Notices, and certificates of Remark

Comfortable Quarters for Cdttle.-Hov-
els and stables for cattle and horses should
be close and warm for winter, both for the
comfort Of the stock, and on the score OF
economy in fodder; for chemical science
tells us land accurate and carefully conduct
ed experiments confirm the fact that the
more an animal is exposed to the cold, the
larger is the amount Of food required to
keep up combustion, or the natural heat Of
the body, and less of it goes to form fat and
muscle But some farmers object to tight
floors and novels. They say, in such barns
the stencil is bad, and il must be unhealthy
for the cattle. This objection can be most
ly removed by sprinkling the floors every
morning, after the novels are cleared out,
with small quantity Of ground gypsum it
will nearly remove the scent, fix the ammo
MIA, and retain il for the use Of the crops,
and many times over repay the cost of the
gypsum.
The manure should be dropped into the
cellar, ifthere is one under the barn, If not,
il should by all means be protected from ex-
posure by boards or slabs, if there are not
sheds to throw it under, as the melting SHOWS
and rains, if exposed to them, will wash out
a large portion Of the soluble and most val
liable part of the manure.
Cattle and horses should be well bedded
with litter of some kind-straw, refuse hay,
leaves or saw-dust-both for the comfort and
cleanliness Of the stock, and for absorbing
the urine. An old tanner, who had carried
on the business in the country for some 30
years, says, during that time, there was
scarcely year but what he had hides bro't
to his yard, taken from cattle that had slip
ped down upon the slippery hovel-foors, and
got leg broken, or split in their hind quar-
tiers, so that the owners were obliged to kill
them, and the price Of the hide was all he
would derive for a valuable COW when near
ly wintered out-all Of which, says the tan
ner, might have been prevented, by strewing
a single shovelful of fine sand over the how
el floor each day, after clearing it of the
manure. think it capital digestion,
and the farmer who would save his cattle
from many an unlucky fall, and perhaps
broken bones, will do well to take the hint,
and sand his howell floors. An ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure says
the old Proverb.-N e. Farmer

Interesting Triak--The papers a few
days since announced the death OF Jona-
than Burr, Of Washington county, leaving
a large fortune to his only surviving son,
Charles Burr. This last person, now So
years of age, is well known to our citizens,
being the harmless insane man, who for
years has gone about our streets selling al
MANAGES and pamphlets. He has not for ma
NY years received farthing's aid from the
old man, who was miserable miser, I'M
bearable in all his social and family relations.
To test the soundness or unsoundness of
Charles Burrs mind, and his capablity to
manage the fortune thus suddenly left to
him, the Chancellor issued commission,
appoln'Ps Rsc sp'G ara II su MSod Essa and
pass upo- mat preliminary question. The
cas- was submitted by them to jury Of cit
izens to day. Several Of our first physi-
clans and old citizens testified unquai6edly
to the insanity Of Charles Burr, and his I'M
fitness to undertake the management Of any
property. He also appeared in person, and
preferred his request that trustees might be
appointed. acknowledging his own un6iness.
The jury returned verdict of Insanity, and
TIC OuduOCHOt VIII vi dppOiut tiC re-
quisite trustees to conduct the estate for the
benefit of the unfortunate heir. One of the
witnesses, Mr. Lane, himself one of the heirs,
after the son, testified to the value of the old
mans estate.> His personal property a.
mounts to S43o 900, principal, and it is sup
posed that there must be about SAC, 900 or
$50, 200 interest money due. In addition to
this, there is real estate valued at $40 900,
making the whole property about $500, 900,
We understand that next to Charles Burr,
there are 36 heirs, some of them citizens of
this place. The widow Of old Burr is now
living, at the advanced age of 70 years.
She was forced to leave him some years
since on account of brutal treatment, and
on application to the Chancellor, he granted
a divorce, and ordered payment out of the
estate of $4,000 per annum during her
natural life.-Albany Eoening Journal

of Jere Pearsali. How far he has done SO, our
readers can Judge for themselves. We do not i'm
pugne the veracy of Mr.. Jere Pearsall. Far from
it. We have the honor to know him. he stands
high in the estimation of his felow-clt'zens. hut
how easily might he have been mistaken. The
conversation, as Mr.. James Pearsall states IN his
certificate, had TUNED upon the evils OF treating at
elections. and it was very natural for Gen. Mckay
to use the expression which James Pearsa says ne
did, " that the man who could he bought for
drink of grog ought not 10 be permitted to vote.
Both of the gentlemen got up and addressed the
audience in explanation. Both of them declared,
in the most solemn manner, that they were will
ling to swear to the truth of their respective
statements. We will say little more on this de-
licate subject farther than to observe that
there is no man in North Carolina, whose state
ment would sooner be believed by those who know
him, than would James Pearsalls. We are con-
WINGED that the charge will have no effect. For the
people, i'll the face of these facts cannot believe that
Mckay ever entertained the sentiments attributed
to him. As to Mr.. divers. the Jesse JerI.ig gan
certificate, will not make any remarks, as what
/ it contains amounts to nothing.
