TmE LOST DAUPnIN- Our readers will
remember the story recently started, that
Rev. Eleazer Williams, missionary at
Green Bay, Wisconsin,, is a son of Louis
XVII of France. aud righllul heir to the
French throne, if another King ever be
wanted. The editor of the New York
Independent, religious paper, after Civ
ing the story, says he knows Williams.
and has corresponded with him in refer
ence to this affair and there can be n"
doubt that Williams was really committed
to the care of the Indians, with such an
understanding as has been asserted. He
adds that Williams was brought up by the
descendants uf Rev. John Williams, the
famous captive of Deerfeld /; that he is
Protestant Christian, and man incapable
of deception, and if there is pli 4, he is
its victim, not its author.-PhiI J 0Pcr.

AGRICULTURAL.
PREPARATION OF SEED WHEAT

BY sitting with suitable sIcycs, the large
plump berries may be separated from the
small and sIrirelled, which will make a
great Improvement Then wash thor>
oIgiily in wafer, stirring violently. and
skim off all floating substances. Violent
washing will rub off the seeds of fungus
which might cause smut or other diseases,
and destroy the eggs Of insects; and by
skimnIng. the light seeds and other ref
Use substances may be excluded.
Various sleeps are used as a further
prevention OF smut, &c, for which we
have recommended violent washing. The
following Is cheap, convenient, safe. and
probably as efiectual as any and ii has
the important advantage of floating oats,
and grains of comparative lightness, that
sink in pure water.
Make a solution of salt, as strcng as it
can be made, which is probably about one
quart Of salt t. Two gallons of water. In
this steep the wheat, and remove worthless
matters that rise; also the grains ofwheat
of comparative lightness. 1t is best TO
soak the wheat twelve or twenty-four
hours but when thus prepared, if the
weather is favorable, it will keep in good
condition for several days or weeks, ifthe
irine- is strong, so it will not vegetatc
III it.
We have kept wheat a week or two in
this way, and farmer informed us that
he had p pared his wheat in brine, when
his Interval where he intended to SOW,
was overilC aed, and he kept it in the
brine three weeks, and, as it was late he
then spread and dried il, and sowed it the
next spring with success.
After soaking wheat in brine, drain of
the brine, which is good manure, and
add sufficient slaked lime to make it dry
enough to sow. Sow soon after the lime
is added. If any accident or storm pre-
vents sowing soon, return the grain TO the
brine, as the best prcservative.-NclO ERg-

GUrTA PERcHA FOR GRAFTING.-At
the agricultural meeting, on Tuesday eve
ming, DIR. Sanborn exf ibited preparation
which he had made for grating. 1t was
composed of gutta percha, dissolved in
chloroform, having the consistency OF
thick moIasses. lie had used ii with ex>
cellent success. 1t is applied, in very
thin coat, with brush. As this is new
article for this purpose, and some who try
it may not get it Of the right consistence,
we advise its trial at first in small way
DIR. S. remarked, that it was valuable for
wounds, burns, and sores, such as the salt
rheum, &C., as thin coat protected the
raw flesh from exposure, and thus promo>
ted health. Gutta Percha will prove TO
be valuable acquisition, both in the arts,
and in medical appliances. 1t is new
article, and numerous and varied expert
ments are necessary to test it fully, and
this will soon be done among the enter
prising and ingenious.-Neao England

TEXAS WHEAT.-It is stated by gen.
tleman from Corsicana, in Limestone
County, that about forty thousand bushels
of wheat have been raised in Navarro and
Limestone counties this season. A part
OF this was harvested as early as the 9th
OF May, and it is Of an excellent quality.
The grains are plump and large, and the
wheat, 1t is believed, will average over
sixty pounds to the busheI. A large guam
