REMEDY FOR STAINS, &c,-If cotton or linen
goods, as linen towels, &c, become stained from
fruit tarts, iellies, or jams, apply immediately
common table salt. This, if wen rubbed on be-
fore the stain becomes dry, viii generally re-
move it, or will keep the article damp until by
the usual process OF washing it will disappear.
Pure cider vinegar ifimmediately applied is very
useful in removing stains from either cotton,
linen, or woolleu goods. This should afterwards
be rinsed out with soft water. For mildewed
linen, salt and sour buttermilk rubbed over the
stains, and exposing the goods to the sun, few
times repeated, is an efectual remedy. Spots
from iron rust are generally removed by apply
ing the juice Of lemon. For the removal OF
ink spots, milk thoroughly rubbed on and rinsed
out with pure cold water is pretty certain
remedy.

THE WHEAT CRoP OF 1851.-The reports
from the various grain-growing parts of the
Union indicate that the wheat crops of the
present year will be the heaviest ever taken
from the earth in the western States. In Ohio,
the crop is a very large and fine one. In New
York, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, the
yield is also very large, and the wheat Of the
very best quality. In Michigan, particularly,
the yield exceeds any thing ever known, even
in Michigan. In the northern and western parts
of the State, and also in the southern tier Of
counties, the wheat crop is said to reach from
one-quarter to one-third higher than at any
previous season. 1t is the same with every
other species of grain except corn.

TAKING 1T CooLLY--As a specimen Of Euro
pean GOODNESS, we think the following plundering
feat of soldier at the siege of Allighur worthy
of repetition. Col Skinner says: "As l was
returning to the town, | saw q European pass
ing through the avenue with bag of dollars
on his shoulders he was attacked by two ma
tive troopers who sought to deprive him Of
what he had bought SO dearly; when he found
that blows would not keep the fellows off, he
just took and tore the bag, scattering the cash.
The rascals believing their booty thus secure,
stopped down to gather up the money, upon
which he took his gun shot the one, and bayo-
netted the other, then coolly taking off his
jacket he fixed a knot upon the sleeves and
filling them with dollars, threw them across his
shoulders"

CROSSING THE ATLANTIC IN A SMALL Boar
On board the ship Deyonshire, Captain Hovey,
which sailed from Portsmouth for New York on
the I'd of July, the smallpox made its appear
ance on the first day out. One person only was
attacked.
The patient was placed in the stern boat,
hanging at the davits entirely clear OF the ship
small house was built over it with tarpaulins
and stakes, in which he was comfortably shell
tered, and here he was nursed and attended by
the physician and officers of the ship until he
was entirely cured. The ship arrived at New
York on Saturday morning the passenger
who is now perfectly well, having never left it
in the whole course of the voyage.
None of the other passengers were attacked
by the smallpox, the precaution taken by the
captain having proved entirely successful The
vessel is now in quarantine, where she arrived
about half-past nine o'clock on Sunday morn
ing. The number of passengers exceeds three
hundred. She brought several Hungarians--
one Of them, who is about nineteen years of
age, is said to have been in eighteen battles.

The CRY PosT 0FFICE.-Would it not be
possible for the functionaries in our city post
Office to make some arrangements for the more
prompt despatch Of business? A vast amount
of the time of citizens, who apply for mail mat
ter, is wasted by the exceedingly sLoW deliuery
of this concern. Let me invite the citizens first
to solicit, and if that wont do, then to demand
reform of the following abuses:
1st. Keeping everybody waiting and refus-
ing to open the Office sometimes for half an
hour after the time, until the sloW process of
charging box-matter is gone through with 1t
is not fair that they who pay cash shall be kept
waiting upon those who keep boxes and running
accounts. Surely the Office of general delivery
might be opened in advance Of this book keep
ing process.
I'd. The delay at the delivery hole, occa-
stoned by the sale of stamps, getting change,
SC. have seen from thirty to fifty people kept
waiting from one to three minutes whilst the
clerk Whose business it is to delivery is count
ing, clipping off, and selling stamps. Let there
he a hole opened for this traffic, and let not the
public be any longer annoyed by this bungling
neglect Of the minute division Of labor. BY q
little attention to the division Of labor, nine
tenths of the time might be saved. BY what
authority do the clerks deduct two and half
cents off good Spanish or Mexican twelve-and-
a-half-cent pieces And at what value do they
pass them off, Nous VERRoNs.
