A CURIoslTY.-At the Office of DR..
Crithfeld, may be seen curiosity which
is rather difficult TO describe or account
for. 1t is Bucks horn in the centre of
an oak tree. The tree was some thirteen
inches in diameter, out of viii ch protru-
ded three points Of a Bucks horn; the
wood being cut away, showed the horn
to be imbedded in the very heart. and
curving outwards, and downwards there
from, the wood having grown nicely over
the first prong and large end of the horn.
On counting the growth of the tree, il
was found that the horn had been there
So years. We conjecture that Tecumseh S
father or some other In lian b oko the
tree off when quite small, and placed the
horn there, and the tree sprouting out
immediG tely below the horn, grew "a

A Good Story.

Epes Sergeant. of the Boston Trans
cript, tells a good many stories under
the head of Dealing with the Dead" -
One of these numbers he devotes to
fortune hunting. and amongst other illus
trations, gives the case of Mr.. Mewins.
He was counting young lady of some
attractions and something OF fortune
into the bargain. After liberal ar
ra ngement had been made for the young
lady by her father, Mr. Mewins having
taken PARTICULAR fancy to little brown
mare, demanded that it should be thrown
into the bargain; and upon positive re-
fusal the match was broken off. After a
couple of years the parties accidentally
met at a country ball; Mr.. Mewins was
quite willing to renew the engagement:
the lady appeared not to have the slight
est re collection of him.
Surely you have not forgotten me?'
said he.
"What name, sir?" she enquired.
"Mewins." he replied. Il had the
honor of paying my addresses TO you a.
bout two years ago."
81 remember person of that name,
she rejoined, "who paid his addresses tc
my fathers brown mare"

IMPORTANCE OF AGRIcULTURE.-Upo

IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURE.-Upo
agriculture, in addition to the necessaries
and common comforts Of life, depends
the success of every other enjoyment. 1t
is agriculture that builds up our crowded
CT covers our fields with yellow grain
and dilfuses life and vigor throughout the
land 1t is agriculture that supports our
gigantic manufactures, ringing from
their basement to their attic with the
music Of free labor, and causes our ten
thousand ships TO dauce upon every roll
ling billow, and spread their sails to ev-
cry propitous gale. Says lords Erskine,
in his political romance called Armata;
You might as we'll hope to see the hu-
man body in active motion when palsy
had reached the heart, or a tree flourish
ing after its roots had decayed, as to see
manufactures, or arts. or industry of any
desert ption, progressive when agriculture
has declined" Paralyse it. and you
weaken the pulse of commerce, stiffen
the fingers of machinery, and clip the
wings of commerce. Destroy it, and

MECHANICS AND LAwYERs.--The MY.

that enlightened constructiveness is ri
sing to its true place in public esteem.
1.-The bar is no longer the resort of the
ambitious youths of the country. The
mechanical departments are being prefer
red; there are now thirty young gentle
men in this city. that have received lib
eral educa tons. who are serving their
times as shiprights, architects, car
penters &c. In few years the United
States will have the most accomplished
mechanics in the world. A new class
is spring ng up who will put the present
race of mechanics in the shade. The un-
ion of a substantial education with me-
chanical skill will effect this. Indeed al
ready could we name some mechanics
who are excellent mathmeticians, and
with French and German, able to study
the books in those languages connected
with their vocations. Heretofore fond
fathers were won't 10 educate their sons
as doctors or lawyers to ensure their res
probability and success. That day is past;
mecanics now take the lead and in few
years will supply the large portion of the
State and Federal Legislature.

VEMlN ON CATTLE AND HENs.-We
see in various papers a great variety OF
remedies for lice-quite "too numerous
TO mention" Sand was the last article
that we have seen recommended for cat
tie. Sand will kill lice if it is applied
requently-so will many other articles.
But sand causes an itching and an un-
pleasant feeling in cattle--it takes of
their flesh. Ashes are better than sand.
But why should either be used? Vel
low snuff is a better article, and single
application is usually sufficient. Tobac-
co juice makes the animal sick, but snuff
never does. Snuff is the right article foI
