An INCIDENT OF THE RovoLuToN Every inci-
dent connected with our Revolution deserves to DO
gathered up while the authors yet survive. From
the forthcoming volume of the Memoirs OF Rev. DIR.
Miner it appears that his father, then residing in
Philadelphia, was Factor to Gen. Washington, and
was also connected with him in the Fisheries cstab
lished on the banks OF the Potomac From the
rrspnmdrure between them, now IN the possession
of the Minor family, 1t appears that the father of
The late Rector Of st George, shared largely in the
confidence oil Washington, The Revolution having
broken out, MIR William NIilmor warmly imbbed tho
spirit of the times, and although Quaker by educa-
ton, applied fora Captains commission IN the army;

duties at home, he was induced to withdraw his APP
pllcaliom Subsequently, Mr.. Minor took charge Of
n!l important Ferry ON the Delaware, and there he
greatly aided the cause OF his country, and assisted
Gen. Washington, by procuring important lntelli-
gencc. Mr.. NJ usually rode IN chaise with an In
grniuuS false bntton and although often suspected
of conveying information to Washington, he was
never detected by the enemy. Twice he was COM
pellet to Iv for his life, but the good Previ-
dcncc which preserved the Father OF his Country"
also preserved him. Mr.. Minor not only furnished
most important Intelligence of the movements of the
enemy, but did much 10 obtain supplies for the pa-

SPEECH OF THE MEXICAN MINIsrER.-The follow
ing is hetnnslation Of the speech delivered by Sc
nor Luis de la Rosa the Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipoen,iary of the Republic of Mexico,
when officially introduced to the President of the
United States, by Mr.. Buchanan, the Secretary of
State ON Saturday last:
"NIoa Ercsiiem Sir: ] have the honor to present to
your Excellency the full power which accredils Inc
of Mexico to the Government Of the United States,
also have the l.. and satisfaction of placing III
your excellency's hands the letter addressed to you
by the most excellent President of the Mexican
public. From both these documents your exceliency
will see how benevolent and friendly are the sent-
ments of the Government OF Mexico for the United
States, and how nrdenty it desires the happiness Of
this republic.
"The treaty of peace signed in the city of Guada-
lupe threw veil over all the past, and Mexico will
deem herself Unidentified for the sacrifices which she
made for peace provided that treaty IL relgiously
and inyiolaby fulfilled The honor and good faith of
your excelency's Government are the hest guaranty
to Mexico for the fulilment of that sacred pact Con-
seaueuly my country will not in future regret that
Providence has placed her near powerful people,
daily increasing in civilization. On the contrary,
Mexico will always address to the Almighty the
SAME prayers which now proceed frem my own heart
for the prosperity of this republic"
The Presidents reply was most appropriate, pedg-
ing that the provisions Of the treaty of peace shall be
nviolably preserved, and its stipulation faithfully
sxecutrd

CARE OF TREES TRANspLANTED.-Take care that
the nice shall destroy the young trees that you
have SET this yea The old hay and litter that you
placed around the trunks last spring should not be
suffered to he there through the winter If it has
not become rotten let it be hauled away, that mice
may be enticed by it to make their nests close to
the trunks
Mice do great mischief among young apple trees
Cats enough should be kept by every farmer to clear
the barns the house and orchards Of mice. Maltese
cats are best. But ii you nave neglected to keep
good cats take care pile up earth about the trunks
IN addition to removing the straw. 1t is n good
practice to beat down the first that come close
TO the trunks Mice apt to make nests under the
early SHOWS, and ii they routed early rem these
burrows they seldom return to them in the snow
is beaten down hard. After they have sought other
quarters they seldom do any INJURY to the bark.
Trees that were set i'll October should be bolstered
mn by earth through winter. This is better than
support by stakes it does not gall the trees, does
moi permit water stand around them, and is pretty
sure to keep the mice away.

WRITING ON NEwspAPERs.-We find in the pro-
ceedings of tho Court Of Appeals of New York the
statement of case in which Mary c. FELTON, sued
the Postmaster IN the Justices Court for OBTAINING

because it had an initial upon the wrapper. II was
decided in her favor. 1t was carried BY the Postnas-
was confirmed From thence 1t was taken to the
Supreme Court, where it was again aitrmed--nnd
now it is transferred to the Court of Appeals. The
Postmaster is said to have acted under instructions
from the Pnstmnster General.

LEAVES FOR MANURE.-At all seasons when the
ground is covered with snow, the business OF ac-
cumuIating materials for manure, may be prosecuted
with advantage. In the autumn, when the forests
are casting their ''leaiy robes, every ler OF the
soil should make it standing rule to gather suii-
cheney Of the fallen foliage to supply litter for his
hogs cows, horses. and other domestic animals, and
see that it is carefully stored III some convenient
placc where it can be had us occasions require.
The absorbent properties OF decayed foliage render 1t
one of the best substances known for economlslng
the LIQUID excremes of animals, and as the vegetable
fibre is itself Il valuable manure, when decornposed,
il constitutes of the most ecacious applications
that can he made to the soil. Yards that have been
clelnsed or cleared of the manure dropped III SUMNER
should be covered Mt this season. before the advent
of snow with thick close stratum of leaves rotten
wood refuse from the burn and Stables with liberal
sprnkug OF gypsum TO absorba ana hA the nmmonical
salts of the urincc. In this way very Important
addition may be made to the sercoraceous Of
the cuvator and at comparatively small expense.
THE DiscussloN OF THE NATURE THE CHoLK-
RIA continues in England but yet with no positive
result We have endeavored by patient examination
Ia arrive at some conclusion ourselves, from the
rinus statements made by learned men; but III vain.
All that the most careful dssections have taught u.s.
is that there is invariable essential pathology
Of the epidemic. Only one thing certain has been
found out that there is alteration the fluids OF
the body in the serum which loses e-thrd of its
salts considerable dninution of the water, and n
large excess of urea III the blood. Whether these
changes are primary secondary no one can TELL
Burgnlre, II French physician in the Levant asserts
that he found that all the changes of the body were
to nlkahs. He therefore prescribed ACIDS as correc-
tive So also the Belgian papers say mat one oil their
physicians has discovered an ininllible remedy III
trichorine of carbon. In short the disease IL not
understood at all and the best shields are temperance,
cheeriulness and courage.

Alternative, purifying the fluids, freeing the
solids from all morbid secretions, and re-
invigoratng and bringing up all the vital
energies to standard of permanent
health, it at the same time exerts a speci-

TENS, exciting them to heathful activity,
removing all morbid matter, egualizing
the circulation, restoring their proper and
necessary secretions, thus accomplishing
a complete renovation from disease, and
restoration to sound and permanent health.
Those who are suffering with the pros

Mcdicated STRENGTHENING Plaster

VNIIIS plaster has been prepared under
Il the immediate eye and superintend'
ence of an old physician, who is gradu.
ate of the University of Pennsylvania,
and, has had extensive practice for more
than 80 years in treating the various dis
eases incident to this country. He conf
IDENTITY recommends this Plaster, flom a
thorough knowledge of its virtues, to be
superior TO every Plaster now in use. By
keeping up gentle perspiration, it is ad-
miraby adapted for Pains or Weakness
in the Breast, Side, Back or Limbs; also,
for the Gout, rheumatism, Enlargement
Of the Spleen, Liver Complaint and DyS-
pepsia, and for Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Difficulty Of Breathing, Oppression of the
Stomach, &c. To all persons predisposed
to Consumption. or who are subject to vi
olent coughs and colds, they are particular
ly recommended as they give almost i'm
mediate relief, and for pleasantness, safe
ty, ease and certainty, they are decidedly
superior TO most other remedies.
Persons afflicted with any of the above
diseases will find DR.. Easterly's Medica-
led Strengthening Plaster much superior
TO any other ever before offered to the pub

| 4N--A compound balsamic preparation
/ of the Pruns Virginia, or Wild Cherry
Bark, combined with the extract of the tar
prepared by new chemical process, ap.
proved and recommended by the most dis.
! tinguiShed physicians, and universally ac-
knowledged the most valuable medicine,
ever discovered.
| We do not wish to trine with the lives
or health of the afflicted, and we sincere
ly pledge ourselves to make no assertions
as to the virtues of this medicine, and to
hold out no hope TO suffering humanity,
which facts will not warrant.
We ask the attention of the candid TO a
few considerations. Nature, in every part
of her works, has left indelible marks OF
adaptation and design.
The constitutions of the animals and the
vegetables of the torrid are such that they
could not endure the cold of the frigid
zone-vice versa.
In regard to disease and its cure, the a
daptation is no less striking. The moss OF
Iceland, the wild cherry and pine of all
northern latitudeS, (the Balsam is chem
ical extract of these) have long been cell
ebrated for complaints prevalent only in
warm climates. Indeed the most distin-
guished men have averred that nature fur
nishes in every country antidotes for its
own peculiar diseases.
Consumption, in its confirmed and Incl
pient stages, coughs, asthma, Group, aud
liver complaint, form by far the most fatal
class OF diseases known 70 our land.
Yet even these may be cured by means
OF the simple yet powerful remedies which
are scattered wherever those maladies
prevail. a

in the west, but that brings us news of the
most cheering character, which goes still
