crop early in the spring. and The yield ID
all that he could desire. The grain is not
so white as that grown in the South; in
taste It is peculiar aud rather more pleas

PAoF. MussEY on WATER.-A river
flowed from Paradise. From the moment
that river began to water the garden, till
the present day, no human invention has
equalIed this simple beverage; and all the
attempts to improve ii by the admixture
of other substances, whether alcoholic,
narcotic, or aromatic. have not only failed
but have served to deleriorate or poison
it. and render il less heallbful and safe
Water is as well adapted to mans natu-
raj appetite as to the physical wants OF his
organs. A natural thirst, and the pleas
are derived from its qualification, we're
given MS to secure to The vital machinery
the supply Of liquid necessary TO lis
healthy movements. When this natural
thirst occurs. no drink tastes so good and
in truth none is 50 good, as water; none
possesses adspiions 50 exact to the Vita
necessities Of the organs. So long as the
fresh supply of liquid is not needed. SO
long as there is not the least relish for wa.
ter, it offers M temptation. while its ad-
dirion to the circulating fluids would be
useless or hurtful.

STRANGE ACcDENT,-A telegraph des-
patch from Opelika, (Ala.) to the Musco.
gee (Ga.) Democrat, says that a sad ac-
cident took place there recently.-Two
men from Coweta county, Georgia, en-
camped in wigwam under large tree,
near which they kindled a FIRE and left it
burning. About two o'clock the neigh
bors were reused by the crash ofa falling
tree, followed by the most piercing cry of
distress. The fire had taken about the
roots and the tree had fallen across the
wagon. After few moments of intense
agony, one expired, crushed to death,
With great difficulty the other was extri-
Gated, with no limbs broken.

LARD On. --.In Cincinnati it is calcu-
lated that 100000 lbs. of lard will be
run into lard oil this year, two-sevenlhs oil
which aggregate will make stearine. the
residue oil, say about 10000 barrels OF
43 gallons each. There is also an estab
lishment in that city extensively engaged
in extracting the grease from The residue
of the hog, which will probably this year
operate in this way IN 10000 hogs. This
concern alone IS expected to turn out
this season 1000, 900 lbs. of lard. 3,000,-
900 lbs. stearine have been made in one
year into candles and soap in these fac
tories, and they can make 5000 lbs. Of

Two HuNDRED AsscoSpEp SLAVES

Two HUNDRED ABscoNDED SLAVES
The Baltimore correspondent of the N.
Y Tribune states that he is informed on
the best authority. that not less than ttcO
hundred slaves have sbsconded from their
masters in Maryland within The last five
months. These at the lowest valuation,
were worth 100000 This estimate as
to the number, is, we think, entirely too
great; though it is true, as the correspon-
dent further says, that "of late the ab-
,conding slaves have increased three-foId,
and their success in eluding the most ex
pert of officers and police agents has been
remark able. - Baltimore Sun.

How To SUBDUR Vicious HoRsE.-
The following fact occurred yesterday
A beautiful and high spirited horse would
never allow shoe to be put on his feet,
or any person 10 handle his feet, without
a resort TO every species Of power and
means TO control him. At one time he
was nearly crippled by being put in the
stocksj he was afterward thrown down
and fettered; at another time one of our
most experienced horse shoers was una
BILE 10 manage him by the aid of as many
hands as could approach. In an attempt
to shoe this horse yesterday, he resisted
all efforts, kicked aside every thing but an
anvil, and came near killing himself a.
galnst that, and finally was brought back
to his stable uhshod. This was his only
defect; 10 all other respects he is perfect.
doclIe, especially in harness. But this
defect was just on the eve of consigning
him TO the plough, where he might work
barefoot when, by mere accident. an Of
hcer IN our service. lately returned from
Mexico, was passing, aud being made ac-
qnalnied with the difficulty. applied a
complete temedy by the following simple
process:
He look a cord about the size nfa com.
mon bed cord, put ii in the mouth Of the
horse like bit, and tied it tightly un the
top Of the animals head, passing his left
ear under the string. not painfully tight.
but tight enough to keep the ear dnwn,
and the cord in its place. This done, he
paited the horse gently on the side Of his
head and commanded him 10 follow. and
instantly The horse obeyed, perfectly sub.
dued and as gentle and obedient as
well trained dog; suffering his feet to be
lifted with entire impunily. and acting in
Jail respects like an old stager That
simple string thus tied made him at once
as docile and obedient as any one could
desire. The gentleman who thus fur
nished this exceedingly simple means IF
subduing a very dangerous propensity,
intimated that it is practiced in Mexico
and South America in the management
ofwiId horses. BE this at it may, he de.
serves the thanks of all owners of such
horses, and especially The thanks of those
whose business it may be 10 shoe OF

WRoUGHT IRON FROM ANTHRACITE
CoAL.-We have just examined an in
voice of superior hoop iron, from the
works ofThomas c. Willis, at PowervilIe,
Morris county. 1t was made with an
lhracite coal, by the new process discov-
cred by Mr. Thomas Salters, of this city
which we recently had occasion to no
tice at some length. This is the first iron
produced in large quantity by this pro-
cess, which we are assured, effects sa-
wing of at least $50 per ton, merely by
substituting anthracite coal for the char
coal now universally used. The patent
is now in the hands of number Of gen.
tlemen, who have not yet organized them
selves into company, and it is their pur.
pose, we believe, to sell the right to the
manufacturers of iron generally.-Ne0

Influx Of Canadian Wheat.

The Wheat crop ofCanada is very fine
this season, and our Western farmers
have the crop of Canada to compete with
under the reduction of the duties on for
eign wheat by the tariff of lS46. Large
purchases and imporlations are being
made for the New Y ork market, aud it is
stated that Canadian wheat can be de-
livered in New York after paying the du.
ty of2O per cent. some 6 or cents cheap
er than from the upper Lake region.
Canada papers estimate the shipments to
this side over five millions of bushels.
In calling attention of Western farm
ers to the present low prices of wheat
in connexiOn with the importalions from
Canada, the North Western Advocate re-
marks;
Formerly, England favored Canada
in all her products, the duty being less
than upon the same articles from this
country. Then she done large wheat
trade with the mother country. Great
Britain now places all nations on the same
footing, in order to extend the sale of her
manufactures. The wheat and flour

MO Cooking Stove ever invented has given so
IN general satisfaction, both in point of economy
and fuel, and the most perfect manner in which
cooking of every description Is done. In eompar-
ing this with other Stoves. the following adyantas
ges will be fouad. The boilers come more imme
dlateIv in contact with tie fire, consequently DO
IN less time-the oven being the whole size OF t
stove, will bake twice the quantity of OTHER stove
of the same dimensions, and the heat is so gener
ally dused all its sides, that it eXcels the COM
mon brick IN. 1t has also been decided by
some Of the first rate hotel keepers that and
pastries of all kinds arc done in a much finer
III amer than by any other process.
This Stove is so constructed, that no INSIDE
plates come in immediate contact with The fire,
consequently it must be very durable, aud not
likely TO get cut Of repair. The construction is
so simple, that inexperienced person may I'M
mediately become acquainted with It's use.
They are made of the first quality Scotch and
American Pig Iron, and OF good thickness: almost
double the weight OF eastern made stoves OF the
80 nae size.
There are eleven sizes, varying from 81 to
S275. so that all classes of the community, from
the smallest family to the most extensive hotel or
Steam Boat, may avail themselves OF the benefit
of this labor aud tael-saying article of domestic
economy.
