CHARLESTON MARKET-Au

The Upland Cotnn market has been very quiet
since last in fact the article to have been
almost entirely neglected throughout the week
just closed Several small lots have been taken to
close freight engagen ents, but the bulk of the ope-
rations have been made within few days in con-
sequence of the favorable terms on which certain
lots were Offered. Since the receipt of the Cam
brio's advices ON Monday last, holders generally
have advanced their figures, but nothing has
been done to establish prices, present quotations
are nominal. Three bags of the growing crop Of
Upland have reached this market during the past
tortnig two of which have been reported to have
brought loo. per h.; of course we do not know all
the circumstances connected with these transact
TONS but would remark that the third bale, which
is said to be of better quality, has been on the
market for several days at the price, but the
factor has not heen able to effect a saIe The re-
Gel pts of the week are 9l7 bales and the transac-
tons in the same time comprise but 600 bales.
Rice.-There has been better demand for this
article since our last than for several weeks past,
and the market has fully recovered the one-egth
of dollar decline noticed in our last The trans
actions have been confined to purchases fer the
West Indies, and for coastwise shipment. See
quotations. The sales of the week foot up some
900 erces, against the receipt in the sand time of
Olo ASiCes. 1 ne ud1sdctIois CouupIise 0"o Iioi-

Rough Rice.-There have been but $50 BUSH
els of Rough Rice received this week, which were
sold at S5c. per bushel.
Grain.-rhere were 5000 bushels Maryland
Corn received this week, which were taken by a
dealer at price within the range OF our quotations.
We quote Baltimore SIS a 5Sc. per bushel, and
North Carolina from SO to Soc. per bushel, and
upwards, according to quality. No Oats have ar
lived here for some weeks. The last sale of Peas
was at &c. Der bushel.

some weeks the stock has been very much reduc-

lie scGs my husband and he bued nee.'-Some
years ago Spaniard was arrested in Havana,
charged with the horrible crime of assassina-
lon; he was known to be depraved and des-
perate individual, who had been engaged in
piracy and was also suspected of other heinous
crimes. The evidence against him was con-
elusive, nc voice was heard in his favour. no
mitigating circumstances were adduced. He
was condemned TO the punishment of the gar
otte, and the execution took place at the allot-
ed time, without the walls of the CITY, at the
place appointed for the capital punishment of
maefdctors.
The instrument of execution, an Iron collar,
which, by turning screw, produced instant
strangulation, was applied, amidstthe execra-
lions OF the throng, which had gathered around
tor the horrible purpose Of witnessing the last
dying struggles of human being, and ere
that crowd has dispersed, a woman young and
lovely, but with disheveled hair and disorder
ed dress, while grief had impressed Iivd sig
net on her paIIid cheeks, forced her way
through the throng, and rushed franticaIy to-
wards the terrible apparatus of death.
"N no are you; and what have you in CON-
mon with that pirate and assassin" demanded
one OF the stern satiIites Of the law.
! ooh cried the woman, in tone of agony
which thrilled every bosom, "He was my
husband and he loved me!''
This reckless, bad man had, BY some myS-
terlOus influence, thrown chain around the
heart of this young and beautiful woman, and
united it to his in bonds which could not be
broken, even by death. All his errors, all his
crimes, and they were many and dreadful
were not seen, or if seen or known, they were
forgiven or disregarded. 1t was enough fol
her that lie loved her. This, ia her estimation
would atone for all his transgressions. She
looked for 40 more-she asked for no more
Her world Of happiness was centered in he
husbands affections, and there must have beer
some redeeming trait in the character of tn
assassin, which could have gained the love o
woman, and retained her dearest affection
even after his life had been forfeited to tn
laws, aud ignominy rested upon his name
But, che was her husband, and she love-
him. "-Bostol Journal.

{oua.-Iowa must be a great nlace-a per-
feet FL Dorado! Hear ths editor of the Du-
bhque Express -" We have no barren waste,
nor ocean pra'ries, no quagmire counties, nor
corduroy roads in Iowa! None of these things.
Every acre is susceptible of cultivation, with
out draining swamps. or dead'ning woods,
as in other western States; no black tongue
as in Illinois; no milk sickness as in Indiana.
Neither have we the locust, nor army-worm,
nor Hessian fly to destroy our crops, as is
common to other States. In truth, finer land
natures sun has never shone upon, and in
whose soil and climate are less objections

P0uHr4.-W armth, with freedom from
damp, is the great secretin the car. of fowls.
Their food should be frequently changed,
and green food often mixed with their meal.
shorts or brand. Indian meal and moasses
water will fatten poultry faster than any other
food. Cinders should be sifted for them to
roll in, which will free them from vermln, and
thew should never be without clean water tor
drinking.
Never give them warm or hot food, which
causes them to become crop bound. Hemp
and buckwheat, or wheat occasionally are
GOOD stimulants. SO far as food is concerned,
every farmers wife throughout the country
knows what is proper. One great danger arl-
ses from their voracity of appetite inducing
them 10 eat too much of food too INJURIOUS tor
their delicate digestive organs, whereby they
become sickly, or what is commonly called
crop bound. Simple as the remedy :or this
evil may appear, it is somewhat didlcultto put
in practice where large numbers are together.
AS regards attention to Gle inllness. and their
other common wants, such as regularity OF fee
ding. and an abundant supply OF pure water,
nothing need be said; they can scarcely live,
certainly not flourish, without these necessary
requirements being strictly attended to.
| Under, however, the best arrangement, ana
the greatest precautions used against their va
rious ailments, many will perish. tits truth,
however, that almost all the diseases OF ponl-
try arise from atmospheric causes.
With respect to medical treatment, applied
to the disease of poultry, but little regarding
it's efficacy is known. The nostrums and
mode of treatment adopted throughout the
country, together with the greater part OF
what has been written upon the subject, is
farrago Ofnonsense and absurdity. If shelter,
warmth, food and cleanliness, congenlai to
their habits, will not preserve them in health,
but little reliance can be placed on medicine.
The best food for chickens, until three or
four days old, is eggs either stale or fresh,
boiled hard and cut into small pieces. After
which. meal wet up, and homny dry. As
they grow older, the feed should be varied,
and they should have more or less green food
like lettuce, cabbage, endive, &C.. chopped fine
and mixed with their meal;-and loppered milk
and bonnv clabber is most excellent. Cold
boiled potatoes, fresh meat, crust of bread
soaked, and many other things thrown to the
pigs, are excellent and profitable food for all
kinds of gallnaceous fowls.
