New Method Of Maxim: Coarse Salt.

Mr.. Samuel B. Ho,oard, of Syracuse, n. York,
has invented a new process, much superior to any
heretofore known, of manufacturing coarse salt
1t is thus described in the Albany Journal: afs
..The brine is conducted into back kettles OF the
arch, where many of its impurities settle, and from
thence into a mammoth kettle, directly over the
fire, where it attains to nearly three hundred de-
rrees heat, when the balance ofimpurities, nclud-
ing the lime, are thrown down, and the brine at
saturaton cast into vats, through which iron pipes
run. conducting the refuse steam Here the SAT-
crystallizes and settles to the bottom Inc clli-
zens of Syracuse have much faith IN the success Oh
this method in manufacturing salt which, If realIz-
ed, will give great impetus to that ofahch 0i 'er
business $50 sa aaaIsa

The Voice of Love.
BY ISAAC F. SHEPARD.

BY ISAAC F. SHEPARD.
Oh! never speak with angry tone,
To one within this erring world;
Let no vindictive look be shown,
Nor be thy lip with passion curled;
For man at best is frail as dust,
And God alone is truly just.
Be kind to all, and thus fulfil
a.f The first great duty here below;
Let words of love their sweets distill,
To mitigate thy brothers woe: ria
For though in pride and guilt he dwells,
His heart its own deep anguish tells.
In the deep chambers of the soul si,i p
To Guilt there's no approving sound
But ever heard with fearful roll,
Stern Truths rebukes are echoing round;
And ever deeper is their moan,
As Conscience feels the voice her own.
Speak kindly to the little child, 80
Lest from his heart you drive away
The light of love, whose visions mild
Are opening like the dawn of day
Force not one cloud across the heaven
A God of Love to him hath given.
Speak kindly to each fallen one,
Nor harshly Judge his sinful deed;
There lives no soul beneath the sun
That does not oft compassion need:
Our race is erring at the best
And judgment is not thy behest.
Oh who can tell temptations power
Upon poor souls that yield to wrong SIS
Where one may see the storm-clouds lower,
Another hears a syren song.
My spirit loves the wind-god's wall
But thine may shudder at the gale.
The soul is but a waiting Tyre,
Whose deep vibrations varied are, a.
Each answering to its quivering wire,
And to the force its touches bear
Not careless, then, your hands should stray,
For fearful is the harp We play!

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-In case brought before
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, from Della
ware county, it was decided that in public sale,
where person is employed to run up the prop
erty, and make the purchaser pay more than if
none but the bona fed bidders bid for it, the sale
is fraudulent and void so far that the purchaser is
not obliged to take the property struck off to him.
AS the parctice of bidding up property is not un-
common in this region, the decision of the Supreme
Court may be of some little Importance.

A correspondent of the Rockford (Ill.) Forum,
writes from Salt Lake City in these terms, touch
ing the country, its products and prosperity:
| must say word about Wheat For Wheat
this climate beats everything that had ever heard
or dreamed Of From one bushel sowing, they
have raised as high as 169 bushels; it was sowed
in drills and covered four acres.- Fifty bushels
here is about fair yield to the acre. You need
not think there is any CANNON about this; the
Wheat tells larger stories for itself than the inhab
itants never saw the like in any country. 1t is
like Egypt in the seven plentiful years-the land
yields by handsful. Corn does not do WELL it being
too frosty; potatoes, peas, beets, carrots, onions
and vegetables generally, do well. have seen a
great many melon vines, but think they will not
accomplish much without something to shelter them
from the cool night air. .s
l am writing at table in the city, and the great
valley lays out like level plain before me- from 20
to 40 miles wide, and extending something like
200 miles from terminus to terminus, and thous-
ands upon thousands of cattle feeding upon the
rich bottom land belonging to the city. Every
city lot here contains Il acres, and each man that
moves here may pay ST 80 for recording the same,
and then go on and build a home for his family,
with nothing more to pay save his tithe-money,
which is one-tenth of his earnings. This goes into
| the Treasury for Church purposes, as well as for
public works. The improvement made here in
the three years the Mormons have been here is as
| tonishing. The houses are built Of unburned brick
called 'dou5ieS,' and are comfortable and genteel
dwellings. They have fine Touring mills and saw
mills now in operation, and others going up Their
lumber is chiefly sawed out of the Fir tree, and is
not as good as pine altho it answers very well as
substitute.
Coal has been found in great abundance in the
valley and l am informed that they are now making
a Railroad on which to transport the same to the
city. Stone coal is now 81 per bushe in the city,
and charred coal 80 cents Salt is obtained out of
the Lake in its native state, and when ground is
far superior to any salt which you receive from the
East. 1t is possible that you, in the Mississippi
Valley, may yet be supplied with the article of salt
from this Lake | am satisfied that for the next
thousand years the Rocky Mountains will furnish
the world with Potash and Saleratus. The Valley
of the Platte and SWeetwater can do it without halt
trying. God only knows the wealth that lies hid IN
these mountains, for the benefit perhaps Of coming
generations, which now appear to the eye and mind
as great barren waste upon the earth's surface or
in another view, mere monuments ofElis almighty
, power, upon which man may look and be humbled.

COUNTERFEIT GOLD DoLLARs.-There are at
present counterfeit gold dollars in circulation to de-
ceive the unwary. On examination, however 1t
neither looks nor feels like the genuine, and the
letters and devices want the sharp, well detned
character of the true coin. 1t is made OF pewter
or some other base metal, plated over with gold.
little caution will prevent the circulation ofthese
little deceiYers.

The Rev. Waltor Cotton, the late Alcalde to
Monterey, finding it difficult to procure eggs when
required, either for love or money, bought some
hens. We give the description of them: aEz
Il purchased six hens of an Indian woman for
six dollars, and rooster for fifty cents On ask
ing the woman why she charged only half price
for the rooster she replied than the fellow laid no
eggs, and as for his Growing that did nobody any
good. Sounder reasons that these could not be
furnished in much higher place than hen coop.
The habits of these hens are little SINGULAR
They are perfectly tame, and are as much at home
in the kitchen as the coop. They never trouble
themselves much about nest but deposit their
eggs where they find it most convenient one takes
the tea tray, another the ironing table third the
oven, and there is one that gets into the cradle
She is not at all disturbed by the tossing of the lit
tie fellow, on premises she is intruding. Neither
she or any of her feathered sisters cackle when
they leave their nests. They don't seem to think
that anything worth making an ado about has come
to pass. The rooster it is true, picks up little,
and perhaps feels a feather taller. But this is the
vanity of his sex. There are great many who
crow over what others have done

az A young man by the name of Vickery was
to have been married at Cleveland, Ohio on the
18th ult but in consequence of the illness OF hls
intended, the wedding postponed two weeks
but he died in a few days afterward. He had an
affection of the heart, which, when excited, troub-
led him very much. On the evening OF his death
he had been reading to hi, intended the story OF
Walter Errick.' 1t was a very exciting tale OF
/. 1o,,o and mnrler' and under the circumstances
wrought deeply upon his feelings. When he had
finished the reading, the last paragraph ending
with the sudden death of Errick, he remarked
that .he hoped he should not die thus suddenly
The young lady looked at him and saw his hand
falling which held the paper, and his countenance
changed to deathly hue. She took hold OF him
from her chair, when he gently leaned toward her
and died In her arms. s
