practices it to be generous, hospi,able and

The flock of sheep are Southdowns, and
number 80 head-that they produce good
lamb, can most cheerfully testify, as neither
prince nor peasant ever enjoyed a more de-
licious, savory morsel, than did we while
partaking of the Colonel's hospitable board.
1t is not our wont to speak of what we may
have eaten, nor would we now, but that it
affords us an opportunity of heralding forth
our belief in the superiority of the South
down as mutton and lamb, over every other
breed.
The Mansion is built of stone, stands on
la beautiful eminence, overlooking the vii
lage, the track of the railroad, and taking
within the scope of the vision one of the
most beautiful landscape views that the eye
could desire to look upon. The court and
laacn comprises an enclosure of some three
acres, filled with shade trees, shrubbery and
flowers, which are arranged with exquisite
taste and Observation-Disclosures the work of
the accomplished lady of the Colonel-for
none other than woman's chaste views Of
the beautiful could have conceived an ar
rangement so harmonious, and in such per-
feet keeping-an arrangement combining
at once the loneliness Of nature with the
magnifcence of art.
Having feasled on the improvements Of
the farm, we paid visit to the factory, toun-
dry and machine shop. In the first we
found hundreds Of pretty girls and good
looking women, on whose countenances
beamed the living evidences of comfort, con-
lentment and virtue-in the two latter, stur.
dy men, whose skilful workmanship, proved
them to be worthy representatives Of the
American mechanic, while their joyous faces
indicated that employment al Laurel, vouch-

that it was the home of happiness.

1t often occurs that land owners improve
small fields. comprising few acres of land,
but we doubt much, whether there is half a
dozen instances in our State, where so much
land, in so short period has ever been i'm
proved by single individual, and we doubt
still more, whether the fertilization has ever
been so thorough and complete before
This example, which has been so laudably
set, will, doubtless be followed by many
others, as the brilliant results of Col. Ca
pron's intelligent labors, are calculated to
stir up spri, of emulation, that must speedi-
ly tell advantageously, not only in the i'm
provement of the exhausted lands of our
State, but every where else where the soil
has been impoverished by that ruinous sys-
TEN which has gone upon tue principle, of
taking everything out OF, without restoring
anything to, the earth.

A THRILLING SCENE AT NIAGARA.-A
thrilling scene occurred at the suspension
Bridge, at Niagara, on Monday. Four men
were passing over the bridge when it was
struck with one of those sudden and strong
gusts of wind which frequently rush through
the chasm with the tremendous force Of a
hurricane, and so twisted it as to turn it bot
tom upwards. The men caught in the
wires, and in this posllion-suspended 200
feet above the resislless waters beneath
they were enabled to maintain themselves
until the alarm was given at the Falls, a
mile and half distant, and the whole popu-
lation in body rushed to the rescuse.-
The bridge was returned to its former posi-
ton ant. the men saved. The affair pro-
duced the most profound sensation for
awhile.

GREAT SHARK.-The Cape Cod fish
ermen have caught large and ravenous
shark. He was harpooned and failing to
break the cord turned boldly round, and made
a furious attack upon the boat, which he
seized by the gunwale and held fast. An
old salt on board drove lance three times
through his body, and though each wound
was mortal he held on full hour. He was
sixteen feet in length. In his stomach were
found number of human bones, part of
negro's skull, with the wool still adhering,
a piece Of red flannel shirt, and boot part
ly digested. The name of D. Brown was
distinctly visible on the boot Sharks are
not common in that neighborhood,

CAUTION TO HcUsEKEEPERs.-Af family
in Lancaster county, Pa, were, few days
since, made very i'll by eating of sponge
cake favored too highly with "peach water"
Our young housekeepers should beware how
they use this very agreeable and common
addition to pies, confectionery &c., as it is
but mild form Of that deadly poison,
PrusSic acid.

DRESSING WoUNDs.-Nine times out of
ten a wound will heal quicker, if done up
in its own blood than in any o,herway. Asfor
burn, whatever will entirely exclude the air
the quickest is the best. Cotton will do
this. So will oiled silk, if stuck down at
the edges by any kind of sticking salve.-
Put nothing on burn to heal it. Nature
will soon do that when the air is excluded,
and the pain will almost Immediately cease.

Chickens cooped to fat,en will do we'll

that time, they become mere skin full of
bones. So says the English Agricultural
Gazette, and we believe it to be true, for
it accords with reason to presume that shut
ting them up in foul coops, and, as is too
often the case, not furnishing them with a
copious supply of water, must affect their
health and cause them to lose their flesh.

SEPARATING THE HULL OF WHEAT.-A
patent was lately taken out for new mode
of hulling wheat. 1t simply consists Of
passing the wheat or grain through a jet in
steam in any convenient manner, so tina,
each grain shall be thoroughly acted upon
by the steam which gives to the hull such
toughness that it is no. pulverized by the &C
ton Of the stones in grinding, but it peels
off in large flakes. J. w. Howlet and F. M.
Walker are the patentees.
1t is we'll known that when grain is
ground in too dry state, the hull is so brit
tie that portion of it is pulverized and
passes through the boiler with the flour,
thus reducing its mercantile value. This
invention then removes this difficulty, for
the steam toughens the hull so that it peels
off most beautifully and allows all that can
be converted into fine flour to pass through
the boiler, while the hull like thin men,
brane is completely separated.

GEN. TAYLoR's ACCEPrANCE.-We learn
from the New Orleans Picayune that up to
the 9th inst, Gen. Taylor had not received
Gov. Morehead's letter informing him of
his nomination. The letter must have been
mscarried, as the Raleigh Register states
Gov Morehead despatched his letter to Gen.
Taylor on the 9th ult., more than a month
ago! Of course Gov NJ will write again,
if he has not already done so.

The Buffalo ConvenlIOn.

We publish, to day, the resolutions pass
ed by the Buffalo Convention. We would
have given them sooner to our readers, but
they were unavoidably crowded out. We
have no disposition to make any comments
upon them but 1t would have been well for
the Convention TO have been more explicit
upon other subjects than slavery. The re
solutions are little Of the style Of the dis
tingulshed individual, who was put in nom
nation for the Presidency.
We also publish, by request, report OF
portion ofthe proceedings, copied from the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and bearing the i'm
press of the peculiar politics ofthat paper.
Our readers will also find copy OF the

vent the circulation oc certain kinds of mat
ter through the Post Olice--a law carried
by the casting vote of .uarlin TM Buren,,
When it is also remembered in what man
ner this individual acted for Southern sup
port--how he acted in the "Armistaid case,"
when without any authority he directed the
Attorney General to support the claims Of
the slave stealers to their stolen negroes,
our readers can judge whether or not he is
sincere in taking the position he now occu-
pies. But aside from all this, no ;ue Wing
can give him his support, after examining
carefllIy the political history of the past
few wears.

feeling in the administration circles in
in Washington.
1t is to be remarked that New York is
not even claimed as probable for Cass.
1t is abandoned altogether, and regarded
as certain against him. Without New
York, Gen. Cass has not the slightest
chance of of an election. In giving up
that State, the Union gives up the contest.
