might double or fourfold the produce Of
our farms, and thus retain II much larger

children who have gone and are going
from them, like the patriarch Of old, be

Nor may these iron nerves and muscles

ever be sunde,ed by the raving fanatic

disunion. An electric shock like that

palsy the arm of him who would dsu>

those who would break the strong bands
Of interest and affection which bind our

THE Sea GIVING Up ITS TRsAsrgs.--

ave learn, that during the gale Of
last week, a quantity of linseed oil came
ashore in the breakers. at Manoment
ponds The oil was in forty gallon casks.
IA Of which were rolled upon the shore
with safety, but several casks were burst
by being dashed upon the rocks. The
casks that were saved, contained about
80 gallons of oil each, which proved to
be in good condition. The condition Of
the casks was such as to render it ceftan
that they had been in the water great
while. perhaps many years. The outer
surface of the casks was considerably do
caycd. and there were four ridges vi iron
rust on each, which were the only rem.
nans Of what were once iron hoops.
The casks were covered with barnaclts."
The Adpertissr says the above proba.
bly, came from the brig Hollander Of Bos.
ton, from Rotterdam, which was capsiz.
ed and sunk in Massac huaetts Bay about
ten years since. The breaking up Of she
vessel. which was fastened by the gale,
probably tisengaged the casks from shc
hold. and being lighter than water, they
rose to the surface. @aa 7ea'"Fd - Z

had small ndentation the inside to keep from slipping

That the vibrations might be the more readily traced along
the floor small pointed rod attached the of
