The Presidency.

"Ion," the well-known correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from New York on the 18th uit., says:
 ''In this city, at present, are the head quarters of the friends of the following candidates for the Presidency, viz: Mir Webster, Gen. Scott Mir Fillmore, Gen. CasS, Mir. Douglass, Gen. Wool, Gen PerSifor F. Smith. There arc also some movements in favor of the ToombS and Stevens ticket, which IS Buchanan for President and How ell Cobb for Vice President. The Douglass and Houston ticket has many friends. So far as the whigs are concerned, Mir Webster ,S the favoTiie in this city, but ii Is idle 10 say that the State not under the dominion of Seward. l. is folly for the democracy to look 10 this State for the support of any democrat. Gen. Scott, with the free soil vote will carry this State by hundred thousand majority over any democratic candidate who has been named There will probably be three tickets in this State--an old line democratic ticket; national whig ticket, with Webster at the head and free-Sol wing ticket, headed by General S~rtf

We are informed by our frieRd NIT. E. T.

It lays oil the rows two at a time, the ridges made in the usual way. The machine then opens the drl drops the seed, and covers the same in two drills al the same operation, doing the work of seven or eight hands and four horses It then hanows and scfapes both sides of two drills al tune. 1t then haHows the same, and ealtivates entirely breaking and stirring the ground the width of two lows at time. supersedihg nearly sil the necessity of scraping and hoeing through the sea. soR. &c.

sabbath school Celebration of the Fourth

sabbath school Celebration of the Fourth.
 We have rarely witnessed a more gratifying spectacle than was presented to our citizens, in commemoraton of the day of our Independence happy and most successful effort was made to change the time honored custom of expensive Bachanalian dinner parties and barbacues, to the purpose of implanting iH the minds of the chil- dren who are springlng up around us impressions of the deeds which glorify the day. To pe-petu- ate he patriotic reverence with which aoe regard thisannversary 1t IS necessary that those to whom one day we must transmit this bright inheritance should be well instructed how much self sacrifice and devotion to our country were required to con summate the liberties we enjoy. To this end the celebration of the day was chieay devoted and never has a richer more prolific display of the rising generation been called forth than appeared Tn the procession of the Fourth Hundreds of sweet. little giris, tastly and beautifully dressed and whole host of bright looking, mischievous boys, were assembled by the committee of arrange ments at the Christian Church early in the day, where they were formed in procession and marched to the State House, there to attend the order of proceeding Upon their arrya an immense crowd had gathered ana tnlS win the heat Ot the day rendered it almost impossible to enjoy the ccre- monies as we might have done under more favor able circumstances.
 Messr. Radcliffe, Green and Freeman of the clergy oficiated in a manner due to the occasion. and a Fourth of July Hymn" was sung by the children in attendance from the various Sabbath schools. Col. T. W. Newton read the Declara- &ion of Independence with his usual impressive and graceful manner, and Leondas Trousdale, Esq, delivered an oration of exceeding richness and originality. So extended was the assembIage in front of us (to say nothing of the {" noise and confusion''l that we were unable to obtain but partial hearing of the address, and we eau only say that those vho were nearest to the speaker applauded him most The committee of arrange ments will of course demand its publication, when the public may judge of its merits for themselves
 The order of the day ended with a splendid eollauoa for the children prepared by the ladies of the city in the Senate Chamber of the Capitol. Never was celebration of the Fourth of July ''began, continued and ended" more happily and more benehcially ihan this.t--ss.a

and | accordingly decided to do neither,
but to run her in among the feet of small
craft anchored down towards the neutral
ground; and in three minutes We were in
among them, smashing and tearing them
adrift one after another, until at last we
brought up in perfect snarl of schooners
and bri gantines, polacres and falcures, with
the old Triton's top-hamper trimmed off
smooth and clean down to her lower masts.
We lay for two months in Gibralter to
repair damages, and our passengers also
remained, waiting for the ship, during all
of which time Isabel was the belle of the
rock Sir Robert Wilson, the Governor of
Gibralter had a splendid picture painted,
representing the Triton in terrific storm,
passing Tariffe light, and the fearless girl
standing at the helm. The figure in the
painting was an excellent likeness of the
brave girl The picture is still in the
possession of the late Sir Roberts family
in England
The little incident of my awkward at
tempt at playing ladies' maid, was soon
made known to everybody on the rock,
and during the time that we remained, it
continued the standing subject for laugh.
The English officers of the army and
navy at Gibralter, presented splendid
set of jewelry to Isabel and the ladies Of
the rock, week before We sailed, sent to
her hotel magnificent robe ofpurple vel
vet, richly embroidered, and trimmed with
the richest lace. A very complimentary
note accompanied the robe in which it
was respectfully suggested, that it would
be quite proper for Miss Isabel White to
lay the robe aside whenever she felt dis
posed to take ships wheel in a gale of
wind.

Cure for HydrOph0bia.

Mr.. James A. Hubbard, of Boone coun-
ty ILL.,, in letter to the St. Louis Repub-
lican says -
Eighteen I" years ago, my brother and
myself were bitten by a mad dog. A
sheep was also bitten at the same time.
Among the many cures offered for the lit
tie boys, 1--WE were then ten tr twelve
years Of age,) friend suggested the fol-
lowing, which he said would cure the bite
of rattlesnake :"
"Take the root of common upland ash,
generally called black ash peel of the
bark, and boil it to strong decoction of
this drink freely. Whilst my father was
preparing the above, the sheep spoken of
began to be afflicted with hydrophobia.
When it had become so fatigued from its
distracted state as to be no longer able to
stand, my father drenched it with a pint
of the ash root ooze, hoping to ascertain
whether he could depend on it as a cure
for his sons. -Four hours after the drench
had been given, to the astonishment of all,
the animal got up and went quietly with
the flock to grazing. My brother and my
self continued to take the medicine for
eight or ten days-oue gill three times a
day. No effects of the dreadful poison
were ever discovered on either of us. 1t
has been used very successfully in snake
bites to my knowledge"

A Tribute to an Absent Friend.

Oh twas a merry time, Andrew,
The eve when first we met;
Those hours of careless merriment
NY heart remembers yet.
'Tis but few brief hours, Andrew,
That l have passed with thee,
But feeting as those moments were,
They still are dear to me.
Fog then l first beheld, Andrew,
Thy form of manly grace,
And learned to love the sunny smile
Upon thy noble face.
Then first thy soul-lit eyes, Andrew,
Beamed kindly on mine own,
And seemed to say, '' In this cold world,
Thou art not all alone"
Then first joyous dream, Andrew,
OF love and happiness,
Cast DER my soul its rainbow hope,
And filled my heart with bliss.
But twas an idle dream, Andrew,
For thou wilt soon forget,
Midst fairer friends and merrier scenes,
That we have ever met.
That bright, delusive dream, Andrew,
From my heart has passed away,
And but thine image now remains
To tell me of its stay.
dare not say, Il LOVE-" Andrew,
But never from my heart,
While mem'ry lasts, can aught but death
Bid thoughts of thee depart.
We may not meet again, Andrew,
But although /" far away"
When at the throne of grace bend,
For thee I'll ever pray.

Childhood.
| often wish my childhood back.
With heart so light and free,
To tread again the merry track
OF childishness and glce.
When hand in hand we sisters straycd
Among our native hills,
Or in some shady nook we've played
Ne'er dreaming of life s ills.
But, all those days to soon have passed,
OF innocence and mirth,
AS one by one we've left at last
Seats vacant at our hearth.
Fond mem'ry lives them DER and DER
They still are dear to me,
But around that hearth no more
Can all the "loved ones" see.
My childhood's happy dreams have fled,
Sad changes now have come,
And my wandering steps must tread
Far from my native home.

Where changes never come,
And friendships chain will ne'er cOrrode
When blest in heaven-a home.
