A New York correspondent of the Ohio
Statesman says:

formidable.
The largest establishments engaged in the
strawberry business have fields in New Jer-
sey that are many acres in extent.
For some weeks prior to the strawberry
picking the proprietors or their agents, are
busy collecting hands from the adjacent
country, to assist in gathering the fruit.
When enough are enlisted, their names
are duly registered. and an account current
Tor rather an account strawberry is opened
with each.
A strawberry field of-say 20 acros-is
then 3taked off into small lots one of which
is given each picker TO attend to, and he is
allowed one cent per basket for picking. In
the midst of the field is large tent where
the accountant has his desk, and is surroun-
dod with baskets and barrels. The picker
goes to this tent in the morning, and receives
largo basket containing, say fifty little
ones. These she takes TO her station, and
proceeds to fill up the little onos, which,
when done, she puts into the large basket and
returns to the clerk, who cbalks her name
upon it. and places it to her credit in his
book. She then returns to her picking with
another load of baskets. Ii smart she can
earn 81 so per day, and afford to wear THE
Boomers;" which arc a costume well adopt
ed to her employment. The clerk, or his
assistant, packs the small basket, thus filled.
INTO barrels, which are then carted to the
Railroad and consigned to various fruiters
in the city, who, in their turn, supply them
to the market men aud hucksters.
The business of single strawberry estab-
ishment of this kind amounts, | am told, to
more than a hundred thousand dollars per
year. 1t is said to be an amusing sight to
see two hundred or moro pickers at dinner
together.

Army Movements.

We see it stated that large portion is to

Gen. Brooke in the command i'm Texas; Gen.
Hitchcock succeeds Persifer +. Smith on
the West, or Pacific division; COL Sumner
succeeds Col. Monroe, in New Mexico,
Colonel Harvey is under General Smith
Formal instructions have been issued by the
Secretary of War to revise the policy and
administration of different stations, and to
protect Mexican citizens and property in the
same manner as our own. To give efficen-
cy to these movemen,s,a regiment of infantry
with some cavalry, have been ordered on the
route, between the head waters OF the Red
River, aud FL Paso, in the midst of the Cam
anches. The regiment of mounted rifiemen
has been ordered from Oregon to Texas, to
be filed up with recruits, under the author
ty of the last Congress. All the troope ad
apted to frontier service, and not indspen
sable elsewhere, have been ordered to the
Mexican and Texas line.

Corns.

The following extremely simple remedy ia

al:
"The cause of corns, and also of the tor
ture they occasion, is simple friction; and to
lessen friction, you have only to use your toe
as you do in like circumstances coach
wheel--lubrioate it with some only substance.
The best and cleanest thing to use is a little
sweet oil, rubbed upon the affected part (af-
ter the corn is carefully pared) with the fin.
ger, which should be done on getting up in

number of ears. He tried all sorts of in
fallible things, and submitted to the manip.
ulations ofthe conductor, but all in vain
the more he tried to Danish them, the more
they wouldn't go; or if they did go, (which
happened once or twice under the strong
prevaitnent of caustic,) they wero always
sure to return with tenfold venom. Sinoe

pain, and is able to take as much exercise as
he chooses Through the influence of this

ienoe whatever from them, he has not tho't
it necessary to have recourse to caustic--
which sometimes, if not carefully used, and
vinegar and water applied at once to the
too, causes almost as much smart as the
actual cautery.'

The Coast OF Africa.

We extract from the private letter Of an
intelligent officer the following interesting
remark on the Coast Of Africa service, IL is
dated April /, 1851: IL think for the pres +.
ent the slave trade is suppressed, but a num-
ber OF slaves are assembled at Lagos, Agway
and Whydsh. and as the boating season is
over here, and thick weather coming on, 90
doubt but they will again commence. Some
of the slave merchants would gladly give up
the trade, bnt they are so circumstanced with
the King Of Dahoney that it is impossible.
For instances. his Highness sends an order
to merchant for 100 pipes of rum. 1000
muske;s, powder, &c.; in lieu OF paying in
money or produce. he marches down a string
of slaves, which the merchant must receive in
payment, or take nothing. With the King Of
Dahomey at present rests the principal part.
if not the whole. Of the slave trade carried on
from Cape ST. Paul TO Porto Novo. Lagos
Is an independent kingdom. The Lawful!

nephew, who is a great scoundrel The ex~
King promises TO abolish Slavery forever in
dominions. and permit the British TO build
a fort al Lagos, il they will restore him 10

cured under my own ewes, which shows the
temper Of The presen, King Of Lagos, who is
doubtless, ruled by the slave merchants. A
vessel arrived 10 the roads from Bahia, with
u great number of liberated slaves on board,
but they are not permitted TO iaDd at that
place; they will, in all probability, be Compel

than the present town, and the ex-King re-

Discovery i'm Egypt.

A most interesting discovery has been
made in Egypt. 1t is known that there ex-
lists in Mount Zabarah, situated in tho Red
Sea, mine OF femeralds which was formerly
worked by the pachas of Egypt, but abandon
cd in the last years of the reign Of Mehomet
Ali. An English company have solicited and
recently obtained authority to resume the
working Of this mine, which is believed to be
still rich with precious stones. MIR. Allan,
the engineer of the company, while directing
some important excavation in this place, has
discovered at a great depth, traces of an an
cient gallery, which must evidently be refer
red TO tho most remote antiquity. Upon
removing tho rubbish, they found tools and
ancient utensils, and a stone upon which is
engraved a hieroglyphic inscription, now
partially defaced. This circumstance proves
the truihof the opinion expressed by Belzoni
on the strength of other indications that the
mine was worked in ancient times.
Tho nature and form Of the implements
discovered, and tho oonfiguiation Of the gal
lery, the plan of which has already been trao-
ed, prove most conclusively that the ancient
Egyptians were skillful engineers. ltseems
from examination of the stone which has been
discovered, that the first labors in the nine
OF Zabarah were commenced in the reign OF
Sesostris the Great, or Ramses Sesostris,
who. according 10 the most generally recelv-
ed opinion, lived about the year 1850 before
Christ. and who is celebrated by his i'm
mense conquest, as well az by the innumera-
bic monuments with which he covered
Egypt.

MAGNIFICENT IDEA.-The San Francisco
Courier. in speaking Of the necessity and
feasibility Of steamship communication be-
tween that point and China remarks that
such line would complete the chain of
steam navigation around the world, except a
small break in crossing the Isthmus of Suez.
connecting Asia with Africa. The paper
then says:-
"This link completed, the traveller, leav.
ing New York, can proceed to Chagres by
steam, from thence to San Francisco; to
Macao via, the Sandwich Islands, Guam
and Minila-thence 10 Suez, via. Singapore,
Penang, Ceylon and Adn-thence to Cairo
and ISioerh5Sig fo-Snrihamnfnn via Malta
again TO New York. The only break in
steam navigation will be in crossing tho
Isthmus to Suez Thus he would be able TO
circumnayigato the world, visiting many
points of interest," making the trip in lao
DAYS! The commercial advantages which
must flow TO the United States from this and
kindred sources are too great for enumera-
tion here, and too well known to require it."

Revision Of the Bible.

A great work and one of immense impor-
tance to future generations, has just been
brought to a close under the auspices of the
Board of Managers of the American Bible
Society. In the year 1927 the Committee
on Versions was charged with the duty OF
collating the editions of the English Bib!e
published by the American Society. with
those issued in Great Britain. Three years
and half have been employed by the Com
mittee in this work; meeting as whole, OF
by subcommittee once week and sometimes
oftener, and spending several hours together
at each session, in examining the work OF
the collator, who submitted the results OF his
comparison for the judgement of the Com
mittee. The gentlemen composing the
committee are, Gardiner Spring, Thomas
Cock, Samuel ii. Turner, Edward Robinson,
Thomas 4. Vermilye, John MClintock;
Richard S. Storrs. Jr., representing seven
different denominations of Christians, and
embodying great learning, industry and judg-
ment. The sub committoa consisted of Drs.
| Robson and Vermilye. The labor of this
body of men, pursued with so much diligen-
ce and self denial, through so great length
of time, having been completed. their report
has been submitted to the board fhd adopted.
and last week DR.. Robinson communicated
some of the results to the New York Histor-
ical Society.
The Committee resolved to compare the
best American Bible with recent copies of
the four best British editions, London, Ok
ford and Edinburg; and every variation in
punctuation in photography, in capital letters
or it textual reading was noted, and the judg-
ment of the committee passed on each point,
letter and word The original record of
these variations, in parallel columes, is now
deposited, with the judgment of the commit
tee, in the Archives Of the Bible Society for
reference in all future time. This catalogue
Of variations in the particulars above men
toned amounts to about $4,000, yet of all
this number there is not one that mars the
integrity of the text. or affects any doctrine
or precept Of the Bible.
The stereotype plates of the Society have
been made to conform to the result of the
Committees labors. and the editions of the
Bible will present the most perfect copies of
the English translation. II is important to
add that there are no alterations affecting the
sense, and none that will be indicated by the
mere cursory reading of the Scriptures. And
we rejoice TO say, that the Committee, with
good sense that rebounds to their honor and
does credit to American scholarship. have re-
tanned the oRrHoGRAPHY that has been so
long sanctioned as to be venerable, if not sa-
cred in the eye oftaste. The readers Of the
English Bible, and future generatiorf of rea-
ders, will have reason to be grateful to these
gentlemen for their labors.
