USEFUL DIRECTIONS.

Britannia ware should be first rub
bed gently with a wooden cloth and
sweet oil, then washed in warm suds
and rubbed with soft leather and Whit
ing. Thus treated it will retain it's
beauty to the last.
New iron should be very gradually
heated at first; after it has become m
ured to the heart, it is not likely 10
crack. Fat -
It is good plan to put new ear
then ware into cold water, and let it
heat gradually until it boils-then cool
again. Brown earthen ware, particu-
larly, may be touched in this way
A handful of rye or wheat bran tn own
in while it is boiling, will preserve the
glazing, SO that it will not be destroyed
by acid or salt.
The oftener carpets are shaken the
longer they will wear; the dirt that coli
lects under them grind out the threads.
If you wish to preserve fine teeth,
always clean them thoroughly after
you have eaten your last meal at night.
Woolens should be washed in very
hot suds and not rinsed Lukewarm
water shrink them. f
Suet keeps good all the year round,
if chopped ard packed in stone jar,
and covered with molasses. 50
When molasses is used in cooking,
it is prodiglous improvement to boil
and skim it before you use it. Ittakes
out theunpleasent raw taste, and makes
it almost as good as sugar.
Use hard soap to wash your clothes,
and soft to wash your floors. Soft
soap is so slippery that il wastes good
deal in washing clothes.
1t is easy to have supply Of horse
radish all winter Have a quantity
grated while the root is in perfection,
put it in bottles, Gil it with vinegar, and
keep it corked tight. vl5.
Do not wrap knives and forks in
woolens; wrap them in good strong pa
per. Steel is Injured by lying in wool

II .Nackerel Sory-An exchange
paper tells the following hard story
A brother of "Capt. Uclens,'' SO much
noted in the Bob Snipes letters, sent
by a merchant of the village of F.,
in Arkansas, for barrel Of mackerel.
Calling one day at the merchants store,
he inquired if his barrel of mackerel had
come. He was told that it had, and
the merchant went down with him into
his cellar to show it to him. While
there, some other person called off the
merchants attention from the macker-
ell, meanwhile some men rolled out a
barrel, which the merchant supposed
the right one. "Capt. Uclens' /" broth
er had never seen any mackerel, and
being curious, he opened his barrel as
soon as it was out of the cellar. No
mackerel was seen. With pail he
dipped off some six or seven pailsful
and threw them away, remarking at
the time thatssit was very thick brine"
Finding no ,mackerel after this opera
ton, the gallant captains brother threw
off his coat and swore he would find
the ish;so plunging into the barrel with
his stripped arms he felt about in the
brinefo them. "By -!" exclaimed
he there's no macktr e. e, but'-di
playing his dripping arms-''it's pow
erful strong brine, and6it has eaten up
all the fshn' Going into the store he
told his tale, saying there was no fish
in the barrel, nothing shut the best
kind of thick brine" The merchant
maintained that he had brought him a
barrel of mackerel, and descending to
the cellar, behold there lay he barrel
aforesaid The issue of it all was, that
the captains brother had opened bar
rel of train oil, and wasted about sew
en- pailsful of it, in his vain search af-
ter the fish in the 'smighty strong
brinei' 3@

'WHTG ENTION.

It will be seen that the Central Commit
tee Of this county have called Conven-
ton toussemBle ct this place on Saturday
9th August next, TO put in nomination a
Ticket to be supported rat the October
election. The lamented Harrison said
that "our people, IN order to be iadepen-
dent mu8i do their otDn v0tihg and their
own fgh'iHg."
When we go 10 fight an enemy prepa-
ration is always necessary to ensure sue
cess, and to vote understandingly, and
give to those principles and measures the
support which the good Of the country re-
qures, also needs PREPARATION. We hope
that the names Of allGspirants for the sew
era offices may be published in due time
for thorough examination. The plan
(which has on former occasions given dis
of springing candidates on
the Convention whose names had never
been announced in the paper, should be
abandoned, The Offices are trusts and
the officers trustees---both the trusts and
he trustees are created for the benefit Of
the people, and to enable the Convention
to act undprstandingly, 1t is hoped that
the friends ofa, the aspirants will, with
out delay, announce the names and let
the people have fair chance in theselec-
ton.
oOf themportance urthe election wewill
speak hereafter, We hope the Whigs Of
Carroll will maintain their proud position
and nobly stand with theirteet on the ram
part of the Constitution, and be and re-
main shining light to the dark and be-
nightod regions Of Stark and '"od C6lam'

OREGoN.-W We recommend the following
from the New York Evening Post, lead
ing locoioco paper, to the careful attention
OF the wise-acre of the Statesman, whose
creed changes on the doctrinal points Of his
party every hard frost. Itmay throw some
light on the remark recently contained in
his paper, namely that "In 04,io and New
York, Jedsratism in this particular, ( that is,
the Oregon war; and in this alone, is con-
sistent. ~ Ohio Slate JouTRct.
"Ihe question of right, with regard to
the possession of Oregon. it would now be
truitless to enter upon. We could only re-
assert facts and convictions which have
been formerly urgcd, to bemet by the same
counter arguments and opinions as before.
There is no denying that the whole ques-
ton involves much Of intricate and doubt
iuI fact, as well as U regard to the abstract
principles OF original right to possession,
winch are i'll suited for popular discussion,
either by the Press, or the Senate. The
whole question is one peculiarly fitted for
the patient and cool investigation Of COM
petent and disinteresled parties, and to be
decided by their arbitration. We are glad
to observe that the most temperate and in
fuential papers in the United States take
thi8 view Of the matter, and which we be-
lieve is generally responded to by the in
tolligence Of this country"

THE TALE ToLp. We have little para
graphs which show how Indian difficulties
begin, and who is at IaHltincreatng them
We copy the following from the Cherokee
Advocate: ave are informed by gentle
man just from MuysvIe, Arkansas, that a
foul murder was perpetrated in thatvllInge
on the night of the 10th inst, by some I'M
known assassin. The name of the muir
dered man, ,'is Z. George, Il Cherokee. The
deceased in companyWith some other Che
roleps, had gone to Maysvfle, on Satur-
day, says'chr informant, and there got in
to a drunken tfoic, and is supposed to have
been in a state Of imoXication ut the time
he received the fatal blow.
"Notiling seems to have been known Of
the fate OF this unfortunate man, until the
next morning, (Sunday,) when his Iiteless
body was discovered lying in one OF the
streets of that Inflated village, with two or
three stabs in his back and side, penetru-
ting to the hollow, and not far from the
whisky shop from whence was dealt out
the liquid fire, which, no doubt, excited the
assassin TO the bloody decd"
WHO speaks here! The Indian. His
pen writes what his heart feels, and his
head dictates. And who dif'uses tha liquid
fire. waking UP the red mans devish pas
sions, and creating strife, bloody dispute,

when thus excited, or crazed, the poor In

less conduct towards the "settlcr," ven
geance follows him, and his clan--his whole
tribe it may be--s made to feel it, 'Tis a

age bears with it as metkly and brGvely as
he does. - CiRcmndti Gdzeiie.

AMERICAN RAILROAD IRoN.--We rejoice
at the evdence furnished in the following
news item from the Baltimore American, of
the onward progress of Iron Manufacture
in this country. Although the Fall River
railroad is the first in thercountry, Of any
extent, constructed exclusively,with Amer
cantron, it~ill n6t'ong enjoy this distnc-
tiCn, II the tGNh' is' suffered to stand, and
the true pohcyof the Government is main
tanned. The Pennsy sylvanla hon Manulac
turers will soon furnish 'an'artacle'as good
and cheap as we can get from England,
and cheaper than heretofore furnished:
The Fall River railroad, connecting with
the New Bedford and Taunton and Boston
and Providence roads at Myriek's, siX-mies
from Taunton, was opened for travel on
Tuesday morning last. The cars and at
the appliances OH this road are said to be
unsurpassed for comfort by any in the coun.
try. II is the first railroad oil any extent
constructed with American iron, the rails
having been made at the Mount Savage
works inthis State.
The Boston Post says that the Boston en(
Providence railroad, atits late Unnu0lmee
! ting, was found to be in ilourishing con
,diton of finance, with excellent prospects
for the future. The net earnings for thu
past year were ascertained to be sly 500
and after erpaying the dividend of3i percent
in July, there will be balance to credit o
income OF S72,4O9. From this fund I
charge of sac OO00 has been deducted tt

FOURTH OF JULY.

The 69th Anniversary Of our National
Independence draws near. We think the
most suitable way of celebrating the day
IS noloy goiags great distance from home
and attending large conventions, but by
meeting in our own immediate townships
or noighborhoods. Itis a political Sabbath,
and should be considered as such. We
hope our citizens will enjoy it in their
own way. At this time, when portentous
clouds hang over our Union~-when our
public functionaries can, with impunity,
trample upon treaties, violate the ph'nest
principles of international law, and aid in
the dsmemberment Of sister Republic
we think, in the midst Of such a crisis,
that it would be well to recur to the ola
landmarks BY which the ship OF State
used to be bounded, and see the contrast
between ionest men like Washington and
his iIhstrious compeers, and the political
eoJbitrs and thinkers who now hold the
helm otour pOblic affairs.
