IMPROVED CATTLE.

SETH JONES, Esq. one Of the most spirited and
enterprising farmers in the State, is still going
ahead in that important branch of agriculture the
improvement of tile breed Of cattle. We were
delighted with the appearance of two noble bulk
calves, from his farm, which he exhibited here
last week. They are half North Devon and half
Durham, uniting the two best English bloods; fif-
teen months old large and handsomely formed !;
and of a rich red color, touched with one or two
small white spots In beholding these fine ami
mails, we felt more than ever the passion for devot-
ing ourselves exclusively to the pleasing and in
terestng pursuits ofagriculture, and an increased
desire to see our farmers generally turning their
attention to the improvement of their cattle. Sure
Iy the successful and praiseworthy example ofMr.
Jones cannot fail to exert sautary influence upon
them. I'd. Raleigh Star.

A SUBSCRIBER.
Livingston, Ala, July 29th, 1845. ..-..
In reference to the foregoing, offer such in
formation as we possess, hoping that others will
more fully answer our correspondents inquiries.
A new process of tanning was invented in En-
gland few years ago, for which, we have been
told, patent was granted by the crown. About
the year 1888, or '39, an Englishman then resid-
ing at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, obtained letters patent
from the United States government for what we
understood was the same process. The name of
this man we cannot now recollect, but presume
any information can be furnished in relation to
him, or to the process of tanning. by Mr.. Joseph
Stacy, of GAINESVILLE. In JohnS0n'S Farmers En-
eyclopedia, description is given of new process
Of tanning, which we suppose to be the same as is
above alluded to- The subjoined extract embraces
the substance of the account:
"a discovery has recently been made, which
seems likely to revolutionize the tanning trade.
By means of tanning machine or pair Of hori-
zontal rollers, fixed over a tan-pit, between which
is fixed a band or belt of hides attached by liga-
lures to each other, to the number of so to 100,
and by which the rollers are constantly fed or sup
Piled the hides are lifted out of the pit on one side
of the machine; as they pass between the rollers,
the exhausted ooze or tanning liquid is pressed
out of them, and they are deposited in folds in the
pit on the other side, where they absorb another
supply of fresh tannin The first hide having
been inserted between the rollers the others fol-
low in succession and upon arriving at the end of
the band the motion of the roller is reversed and
the belt is returned throug b the machine to re-
ceive another squeeze. This alternating motion
is constant yrepeated, the pit being replenished
from time to time with fresh solutions of tan, till
the operation is completed. The effects produced

{" Mild from the first beginning of her days;
Gentlest of all in Heaven. "-HestOd.
WHEN thy soft round form was lying
On the bed where thou vert signing,
l could not believe thee dying,
Till thy angel-soul had fed;
For no sickness gave me warning
Rosy health thy cheeks adorning,
Till that hope destroying morning,
When my child lay cold and dead!
Now thy white shroud covers slightly
Those pale limbs, so smooth and slightly,
While thy snow white arms lie lightly
On thy soul abandoned breast;
As the dark blood family fingers
In thy pale, cold lilly fingers,
Thou, the sweetest of Heav'n's singers!
Just above thy heart at rest!
Yes, thy sportive form is crowded
In thy coffin, all enshrouded,
Like the young moon, half enclouded,
On the first night of her birth;
And, as down she sinks when wesIlng,
OF her smiles the night divesting,
In my fond arms gently resting,
Shall thy beauty 10 the earth!
AS that earth delights te nourish
Some fair flower, which loves to flourish
On her breast, while il doth perish.
And will barren look when gone;
So my soul was glad in giving
All thine own was glad receiving,
For me, ever more LETT grieylng

Sister angels now are bending .f+
To receive thy soul ascending
Up to heaven to joys unending,
And to blsses all divine;
While thy pale, cold form is fading,
Under death dark wings now shading
Thee with gloom like that pervading
This poor broken heart of mine!
As birds of kindred song and feather
Sing and soar on earth together
So, around thy heavenly father,
There they gather now with thee;
Ever Joyful 70 behold thee,
In their soft arms to enfoid Thee,
And to whisper words oft told thee
In this trying world by me!
With my bowed head thus reclining
On my hand, my heart repining,
Shall my salt tears, ever shining -. .,
On my pale cheeks, flow for1hee-
Bitter soul-drops ever stealing
From the fount of holy feeling,
Deepest anguish now revealing,
For tiny loss, dear child, to me!

Affection of Elephants l have seen many
strong instances ofthe attachment of brues to man,
but do not think ever saw that feeling so strong
" manifested as by very young elephant that was
brought to this country. Never was parent more
fondly caressed by a child than was the keeper of
this afectionate creature by his charge. If he
absented himself even for moment the little ele.
phant became restless, and iflhe absence was con-
tinued for few moments its distress was quite
painful TO the spectator. After trying Il different
fastenings of its prison with Its yet weak probos-

passing its infant trunk round his neck, his arm,

council his attendant angels, the highest guards OF
his kingdom.
"Create him not" said the Angel Justice; 4" he
will be unkind towards his brother, severe and
cruel TO the weak" - s-'#
"Create him not" said the angel of Peace;
/" he will manure the earth with the blood of mcn;
the first born of his race will slay his brother"
"Thine holiness will he profane with lies -
pursued the angel of Truth, "although thou
shouldst imprint on his countenance thine image,
the likeness of Truth ITSELF"
So spake all the attendant angels of Jehovah,
when Mercy, the Eternal Fathers youngest and
dearest child approached his throne and bowed
before it. Father" said she, make man after
thine image; the cherished object of thy mercy
and goodness: when all thine angels forsake him
will seek him out and remain with him, and
turn even his faults to good, even by his own
weakness will incline his heart to sympathise
and bear with the infrmitics Of others IF he for
sake the way of Peace and Truth if he sin
against Justice and Equity, the very consequence
Of his error will render him more meek and ami

bo From the Washington Union
THE MONUMENT TO JACKSON.

The following eloquent address 10 the people OF
the United States Ito which we have cordially
subscribed our name, without sharing the honor
of its composton) supersedes the necessity of any
elaborate appeal from our own pen. We go for
the object itproposes, heart and hand. 1t is due
respect to the memory of one of the first men, not
only of his country, bat of his age-a patriot,
whose services have shed never-dying lustre up
on our military fame and upon our civil instItu-
tions-whose death has covered whole nation
with mourning, and drawn from the lips of almost
countless orators the warm euloglum which IS due
to his services and his merits. It is well to do
Justice to such men, not only for their own sakes,
but for the benefit of posterity, and to cherish the
fame of generous emulation in the hearts of
men. Washingtons statue is about to be erected
by Congress. The gratitude and the honor of
the nation demand it. Then will it be said that
Congress have redeemed the recorded pledges of
their ilusrious predecessors and paid due respect
to the man who was +" first in war, first in peace,
and first in the hearts of his countrymen." The
statue of Jefferson should also be erected, to do
honor 70 the author Of the Declaration of Ameri-
can Independence, and one of the first statesmen
OF the age The appeal is now made to the peo-
pie, in benalf of another of their llustrious bene
factors whilst the heart still throbs with gratitude
and reverence over the tomb in which his remains
have been so recently deposited. It is impossible
that it should not succeed, if the proper exertc ms
are made to receive the contributions of nations
feelings. The committee of this city are deter
mined TO do their duty; and the following address
is the first offering which they lay upon his
shrine. They have framed wise instructions for
the agents whom they are about appoint Let
those agents cooperate with its friends everywhere,
and the work will be done.

PORTABLE MILL. We saw yesterday, SAYS
the U. S. Gazette, in operation a new and
Portable Mill, which while it occupied but a
trf1ing space, performed almost as much work
as pair of three foot burr stones. Its out
ward form is conical with sugar loaf shaped
stone revolving in it. Both the revolving stone
and the inside OF the cone, are lined with
French Burr stone, jointed together on the
principle of the arch. A screw at the end of
the axis of the revolving stone, enables the
person having the machine in charge, to make
it grind fine or coarse. With one horse power
it will grind four to Ave bushels of wheat per
hour, and the stones can be sharpened without
difficulty.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN CALCUTTA. The
Rev. DR.. Duff, a Presbyterian Missionary, in
recent letter, in reference to the conversion to
christianity, of several prominent members of
the Mission School under his care, says:
To the terrified imaginations of the Hindoo
community, it looked as if all the 1900 youth
in the Institution were about to ALLURE Hindoo-
ism and embrace christianity, and the fear that
Hndoosn itself was on the eve of utter ami
hilation, spread such CONSERVATION throughout
the city, that the cry of, ''down with christian
ity. down with the Missionaries! and down
with Free Church. Institution" echoed from
every bazaar and every street in the city. Sew
eral hundred had left the Institution, but the
fact, he says, that in the midst of such an ex-
cited state of public feeling, some six or seven
hundred pupils should remain in the school,
quietly pursuing their regular studies, only
proves how amazingly deep hold the Insttu-
ton has on the native mind, and what deep
seated judgment it has secured for itself in the
very strong holds of society.
