Vaiue of Corn CObS.

A Friend, who had read an article in
some paper, recommending corn cobs,
ground or unground, as an excellent and
valuable feed for stock, undertook 10 ies,
the truth Of the statement for himself. He
had a large quantity on hand. and a!lcr
providing himself with the proper vessel,

and then added solution Of sal, in water.
In this steep the cob. were suffered 10 re

condition they ~ere lheu fed out TO The

animals we're extremely fond Of the cob;
hat they consumed a much less quantity

his feed; nor did they require sail IN lis

BufalQ Bridge.

The old bridge al the mouth o: Buffalo
creek, stands in need of considerah,e -.
pairs, as it is now hardly safe to cross wisk
heavy loads. We believe il has bess, snd
perhaps still is. in contemplation to supply
its place by a new one. Half Of the orig.
inal structure was carried of by the extra
ordinary food in the fall Of le47, aod vas
supplied by couple Of new spans for
temporary use. What remains is an ob-
ject Of interest on account Of its antiquity.
This bridge was built, we are informed, in
1906, and being then the only specimen Of
its kind in all this part of the world. was
quite curiosity, and travellers would n
miles out OF their way to see it. As Il has
done duty So faithfully and long. We think
it might justly, as well as prudeniIy, be
relieved lromff0rlter service.

Something New.

Mr.. James p. Ross, Of this borough, has
favored us with mess Of fine fresh rad.
ishes. just out of the ground where they
were sown. and the tops green and grow
ing. Something Of a novelty this, and
quite a treat for the month of February,
particularly as they are not hot-house pro-
duclions. The following is the method
pursued by Mr.. R., and may interest our
readers. Sow the radish seed late in the
fall. and when freezing weather sets in,
cover the bed loosely with fine brush. and
spread manure, potato vines, leaves, &C.,
over the top, to exclude the frost. and yet
leave air and room, and the radishes will
grow all winter, and you can have as con-
slant and excellent supply as in any other
season of the year.

THE FARMER.
For the LcufsLura Ckrenicle,

Ma. EDITOR: As sou are desIrous Of
appropria'ing portion Of your paper TO
the farmers department, have thought
that it would not be amiss TO say word or
Two on the subject Of manures, as in all
cases they require the attention Of the far.
mer. Manurrs are Of two kinds, both Of
which have dflercn, characters, and per.
form different offices sin the economy OF
vegetation. The first Of these incIudea
all animal and vegetable decomposing'mat-
ter and is mostly employed in feeding the
plant. AMI sustaining life ;s'he. second ope-
rates'more on the soil than in contributing
directly 10 the support Of tho vegetable.
Experience has fully proved that all an
,mal and vegetable manure. are but varie-
ties Of one kind Of principles; but whatever
maybe The value, of the elementary prin.
ciples Of manures. :Ihey arr. of no use as
mauures until they are dlsengaged by
rulrefaclion. eli quantity of stable dung
lie piled into heap and exposed to the
weather it soon heats, and stream OF va
por is seen 10 pass off from il; this. with
the odors sent forth, are gases passing off,
and the heap is gradually becoming less in
weight and size, and al the end Of six
months not more Than one. fourth Of the
original essential material remains, the real
manure having passed off in the shape Of
gases anduliquids. A knowledge Of this
fac, has led to The practice Of making com.
post dung heaps, in which The liquids and
gases are absorbed By the earth or some
other substance. In England and Scotland
Instead Of having dung hraps they have
dung pits, into which they collect DOT onl.
The manure but all the liquids, such as The
urine, &c. These they have covered with
q roof, TO preveLt The action OF the suns
rays on it. All this would doubtless be too
much trouble Tor the farmers in this mer'
dan, although have no doubt that ii
would pay we'll. have thought that when
the farmers haul ou, their manure If they
were 10 haul in earth and cover their barn
ward, or that portion Of it on which they
piIed their manure, that it would Absorb
the liquid. and then il they were to cover
il with a lew inches Of earth, this would

IusClence Punished

Col. ZabIiel w. Potter, new y appointed
Consul Of the United States for the city OF
Valparaiso, has had Il personal rencontre
win the Hon Stephen Sullivan. nephew
of Lord Palmerslon, and charge of her Br-
lannc Majesty near the Government Of
Chill. Ii appears that on The 9th Of DE,
cember, Col. Potter took lodging for him
sell and suite a, the French Hotel Of Lima,
for Valparaiso. After having taken posses
sion Of his lodgings and installed his famI-
". he alked out with a companion, and
IN his return found that his family had
been forcibly elected by The British Charge,
in person, notwithstanding The reiterated
rcques, Of Mrs. Potter. for delay until the
retorn Of her husband. The very dlstln
puished Col.Ilcrrera. " no attracted so much
attention in the United States during the
mas, summer, also in,eIceded in vain with
Mr.. Sullivan. who is represented as having
used language Of the greatest brutality.
Col. Potter soon returned, and immediate
" called on this personase.i but was una.
bic 10 obtain an interview. On the morn
ng, however, he was more fortunate, and
having it inlima'cd lha, none was expected
from him, Col. Potter proceeded TO admin
,,,er on the spr, a sound ,hrashing TO Mr..
Sullivan. The news was quickly spread
,hro' l.ima-the whole of the scene having
occurred in the presence Of other persons,
among whom were many EnsIishmen.
There was but one opinion in relation TO
The matter, which was. that the Charge was
s'served right"

frosty. and as soon as warm the explosion
followed.
Thirty dead bodies have been taken from
the ruins up to IL O'Clock. Sixty or sew
enty bodies are still buried beneath the ru
ins but lev of the bodies have been rec.
ognised.
The bodies are manged in a most hor-
rible manner, and i, vii! be an almost utter
impossibi!ity for some of them TO be recog.
nized. great number must have been
drowned, as floods of water have been
poured into the building.
The ha. shop was in the lower story
the steam engine in the cellar. In the
upper stories Mr.. Taylor had six or seven
double cylinder printing presses, with 9TH
er heavy work. which completely buried
those engaged in the hal shop.
Various opinions are expressed as to The
cause of the explosion. The general inn
preston seems to be that the boiler was
imperfect, and had been condemned. A
man who was rescued from the ruins. said
that il was an old steamboat boiler and had
been patched up. The proprie,ors, how
ever. say il was new boiler. and the ex-
plosion was owing TO the frost last night.
The building was owned by Messrs. Har-
pers & Brothers. and was worth $4,000.
partly covered by insurance.
Bricks from the building. at the time OF
the explosion, we're sent a, distance Of SO
or 40 feet.
The loss Of Messrs. Taylor & Barr, is
estimated at $4,000. As near as can be
ascerrained, not less than 100 lives have
been lost by this calamity.
The engineer. is said to be very
careful and experienced man, and is still
among the missing.

For the Le,yistary Chronicle.

Mr.. Editor noticed piece in your
valuable paper Of Jan. 23d signed HI,
which is Of great importance TO farmers at
present, since rail timber is getting source.
which will cause them TO quit making
the worm fence and make post fences in
their place. According TO his experience,
II must be best to set the posts in a green
state, and this ill be saving to the far
mer nj this rate il is not necessary to lay
cat any money for posts until they are
wanted for use. The writer Of that article
remarked that il was perhaps closely con.
necied with cutting Of timber and sar
running: this brought me to the conclu-
>ion tina, here might yet be secret-when
10 cut the timber for posts in order TO have
them last. Since r HI. has no, mentio
ned when the timber was cut for those
posts, hope Mr.. Editor you will try and
se. him 10 let US know through your paper
in what season Of the year it was cut, OF
in ~ha, sign OF the moon, or when The saF
vas running up, or running down, or moi
running at all, or il he set his posts butt:
down or tops down; these seem to me

u. S. CONGRESS-.

In Senate, Tuesday, Jan. 30, Mr.. Clay
brough, forward plan for compromising
the Slave Question, embodied in eight res.
oluiions.
The frs; proposes IN admit Gallo u
as State, with suitable boundaries, with
ou, anv attempt to interfere with her pro-
hibllon OF slavery.
The second, 10 provide Territorial Gov
ernmenls for The Territories MT included
in the boundaries Of such State, without
imposing on them any restriction in reIa.
,ion to slavery.
The third and fourth, propose to secure
the boundaries Of Ne" Mexico. and a, the
same time satisfy the claim Of Texas by
assuming her Indebtedness.
The fifth affirms that it is inexpedienl to
abolish slavery in the District of Co'um-
bia, unless with the consent Of the people
OF Maryland. and Of tho people Of the Dis
tricl, and upon just compensation.
The sixth affirms tina, Congress ought
TO abolish the slave trade in the District
the trade in slaves imported into ii.
The seventh affirms the duty Of Con.
gress TO provide more effectual legislation
for the recapture of fugitive slaves.
The eighth denies the power OF Congress
to Prohibi, the transportation OF slaves
from one State to another, or the inter
State slave trade.
Mr.. Clay accompanied the presentation
Of the resolutions with explanations, COM
ments. and short speech on the necessity
Of Cancellation. Au Irregular debate then
sprung up. in which Messrs Foo,e, Rusk.
Mason, Davis of Mississippi. King and
Downs, took part. all dissenting strongly
from Mr.. CIays position.
Gen. Cass has made an able and elabo-
rate speech against the Wilmot Proviso.
avcrring that its passage would be both
unconstitutional aud inexpedien,. Hs
