The Chicago Tribune. in noticing the
return of Mr.. Mccormick, the inventor
of the reaping machine that created such
a sensation at the Worlds FAIR, among
the Agriculturist, says that he has made
arrangements for the manufacture Of
from five hundred to one thousand of his
reapers in London in time for the harvest
Of next year. He has also taken out
patents for his reaper in Scotland. France,
Belgium. Austria and Prussia, and will
probably introduce his machine into each
one of those countries during the next
year. Indeed, as soon as it was learned
by the visitors at the Fair that he had
made arrangements to commence the
manufacture of them in England forth
with, there were quite number ordered
by citizens of the above-named countries.
We deubt not that in :he course of ano-
ther year, Mr.. Mccormick will find ii
necessary TO establish manufactures in
every wheat growing State of Europe.
and that all along the shores of the Med
iterranean, the Baltic and the Black Sea,
his reapers will very soon come into gen.
erai use.

PRESERVATION OF FAT AND OILs.-An
article in the Western LANCE, by DR.. G.
w. Wright, of Cincinnati, states that
the hunters of Ohio, in ancient times, had
a curious way Of preserving their bears
fat from becoming rancid, by melting it
along with the powder of fine shreds of
the bark Of the slippery elm-about a
drachm or the former to pound OF the
atter--and then straining il. The bark
communicates an odor TO the tat resem-
bling that of the kernel of the hickory
mt, Dr. Wright has subjected other
fatty bodies, including butter and lard, to
the SAME experiment, and in every in-
stance, he states, with success. Butter
thus prepared, he says, was, a year after
wards, as sweet aud free from dsagreeable
odor as on the day it was made--a fact.
i: it really be fact, Of no mean interest
to bouse keepers and others. ~

DANGER ATTENDING PRECoCIoUs DEvEL1
opMENT.-There can be no doubt that
many child has been sacriiced-in early
youth TO the pride Of parents, who delight
ed with the intellectual activity of their
children, have striveu TO make them prodi.
gies Of learning. BY these cases OF early
and undue employment of the brain, in,
hamation Of the hemispherical ganglion,
or the living membrane OF the ventrlcles,
with serious eiiuslou, has usually been the
cause Of either fatal issue, or OF subse.
quent mental imbecility. The late Mr..
Delviile related 10 me an interesting case
of this kind An extremely intelligent
boy, of about twelve years OF age, was
brought to him for chronological examinar
ton 10y parent who was 7ery proud of
the intellectual endoWments OF his child.
Mr. Delville gave his opinion of the boys
character, a; the same time cautioning the
, father Of the dangerous course he was pur-
suing. But the fathers reply was-"Alt
that other boys considered labor and hard
study were mere child's play 30 him; that
his studies could not be hurting TO him, he
! employed them so much" Again Mr..
Delville endeavored to save the child, but
the father would not attend to the warn
I ing. Two years from that time the father
again called on Mr.. Delville. and in reply
to his inquiries about the child, his father
burst into tears-his child was an idiot.

very nch mines in the vciuity OF Carson's
Valley, from which whites were excluded
by the Indians, was raising company
of seventy five men, at last accounts, to

is situated on the coast side of the Sierra

delightful, fish plenty, soil and timber
good, and miners can operate the year

! SENATOR CLEMENS This fearles and
gifted champion of the Union has had to
encounter greater and more relentless
abuse than any public man in the South,
because of his devoted adherence to the
cause Of his country, and determined
opposition to those who, by dividing.

have been trying the same game against
him that has been unsuccessfully at.emp-

patriot should, that "he prefers Union
