Advice in Poultry Keeping.

A correspondent, Of the Agricultural
Gazette. Gays: TIE principles upon which
| rely for success 10 keeping hens, are: /.
To have Two breeds-few 10 hatch
and rear The chickens, and twice the cum.
Der Of everlasting layers, as eggs are more
profitable than chickens. 2. To get a
hatch as early as possible 10 spring, and to
keep them well these never cast their
feathers like the old birds, and If they be.
gin TO lay in autumn, lay more or less all
the winter. 3. Never keep old fowls
(none but fAyoiile fowls ought to be kept
more than two years. old birds lay larger
eggs than pulcis, but not near so many
4. To give them the bes. barley could find
and as much as they could pick up once q
day, in summer, and twice 10 winter the y
are not only more profitable, well kept
but the eggs are better.
The two breeds like best are The spot,
Ted DJrkings for setting, and the pheasan
breed for laying.

with the above, is mentioned in letters from Pres
burg as having occurred at Czerna. A brigade
was sent by Schlick from Oedenberg, under Gen.
Wyss, in that direction Gen. Wyss was taken
prisoner, and the Uhian colonel, Baron Zessuer,
killed. Schlick sent cut this brigade TO cover his
right flank as he was marching TO Raab. 1t was
beaten on the 18th inst. Some reports represent
this whole brigade as having been destroyed !;
others say that 1000 men have deserted en- masse,
from Schlick to the Magyars 1t is certain that
carts OF wounded for three days have been con-
tnually pouring into Presburg and the places
about.
In the South it appears that two actions have
happened, aud have both terminated to the adj.
vantage olthe mperialists. The Hungarian GEN
eral Perczel, from the fortress of Peterwarden,
made an attack Oh some Austrian entertainments
but was ultimately repulsed, and was driven with
loss into Peterwardein, though the Austrians ad-
nit that their own troops suffered severely. The
other battle was fought by the Ban Jellachich,
and is asserted to have been brilliant victory;
but the Austrian accounts accounts are evidently
not trustworthy, at least as regards their own
losses.

THE LATE ACCIDENT AT NIAGARA FALLS.
A correspondent OF the Rochester American has
furnished to that paper some particulars of the
late deplorable accident at Niagara Falls, which
have not been before published, and which were
obtained from one OF the party from which two
were so suddenly and sorrowfully taken The
party, which left Buffalo for the Falls that day,
consisted of MI and Mrs. DeForest, three daugh-
tiers, Mr.. Addington, who was engaged 10 the
eldest daughter, and another gentleman, being
seven in all. We copy from the writer:
About sunset all went down together, and
crossed over 20 Goat Island, and from thence to
Luna Island, which lies still turth out in the
river, toward the Canada side Here, within
about ten feet of the brink, and directly upon the
edge of the hurrying mass of water, Addngton
and his betrothed stationed themselves A little
In the rear OF these were my friend and the sec.
ond sister, and farther back still Mr.. De Forest
and his lady. Little Antoinette, (seven years Of
age) was running around in high spirits, from
one to another OF the group, laughing and dauc-
ing in all the ght-heartedness OF Childhood The
rest were conversing with pc cular vivacity and
cheerluiness. The sullen mass OF waters bear.
ing onward heavily and irresistibly, the unchang-
ing dlapason OF the descending torrent In its
rocky contact, the dying beams of the sun silver.
ing the Elusive brink, and then the cold radi-
ance OF the moon tinging the restless foam, SEEM
ed to inspire an unusual flow of thought and of
feeling from all the party. 1t was nearly eight
O'Clock. They had conversed long aud pleasant
ly. Little Amy was still dancing and playing
as hard as ever Her slIvery laughter rang
through the air, and her Innocent gambols had
brought many smile to the lips OF her parents.
Soon, however, her father perceiving that she
approached nearer to the river, warned her
away and called her to him. Young Addinpton
immediately turned arouLd and said ssNever
mind; will see that she is sate'' With this, in
girllsh payulness and spite, she ran up behind
him and pulled his coat. Aha, you rogue -
said he, 81 have you now; 1oW thr0lo gou oUer
the FGHS"' Taking her gently and playtully by
the arms, ne lifted her up aud swung her out Just
over the water. Alarmed at her situation, she
struggled while suspended at the farthest, and
slipped from his hands The instant she touch
ed the water, she was borne full six feet from
the shore. Addington turned-spoke but syl.
