GOOD ADVICE

Look over the corl.fcld, and if there are
many "hlls" missing,-.re-pImt If the
ground is good and well cultivated, fair
crop Of corn may yet be grown. Or, if you
please, fill up the vacancies with beans,
pumpkins, squashesj water-melons or Gu
cumbers. On planting either Of the above
named seeds, at this season, soak them
over night,
Dig your coJbagt ground two "spitS" deep,
and place the manure between the upper
and lower spits while the diggings is going
on. If you will take little extra trouble to
dig your gardens deep, the roots Of your
plants will find it ont when dry weather
comes aud fully repay the expenses.
When the ground is prepared for late cab
bage, SOW radish seed all over it, and rake ii
lightly. The radishes will not interfere
with your cabbage crop,-they will be fit to
pull before the second hoeing Of the cab
bage.

She came-dear Iune-a maiden brown,
Yet rosy as the blush of morn,
With step as lighlstone as the down
O'er autumn's crspng meadows borne:
A holy calm is on her brow
A mellow tinge OF ripened thought
Her deep, dark eyes that chastely glow,
With love aud tenderness are traught:
AS silk OF corn her tresses fair
So smoolh-so chaugeful in their hue
Her 5eauteous lips like rubes are,
Or cherries moist with morning dew;
Her breath Is sweet as fragrant peas
Or roses fresh from summers shower;
Her voice is like the voice OF bees,
mat hummug WOO the wildwood Hover
lhat volce--ils murmurcd music floats
Through all the quiet realms of air
And night and day lis gentle notes
Fall soothing on The ear of care:
1t perces through the busy hum
That wraps the city in, and seems
To speak the whispered words, that come
From lips Of angels seen in dreams.
Tolls pent-up, wan and sad-browed child

THEORY OF THE RIFLE.

The theory and fact OF the superiority of
the rifle barrel gun over the smooth bore, is
as follows in the smooth bore the ball
when discharged from the muzzle, acquires
rotary motion by friction against one or
the other Of lis sides, the axis of which mo-
tion is always at right angles with the line
Of its flight, but may be with respect 10 the
earth, either vertical horizontal, or inclined.
1t is obvious that, as the axis of rotary mo-
lion is at right angles TO the line of flight.
therefore one side of the forward half Of the
bullet revolves in the direction of its pro-
gressive motion, and the other half the re-
verse. Such being the case, the ball meets
with much more resistance from the air on
the side revolving forward than on the side
revolving backward and is, in consequence,
DETECTED from a right line to the right or
left, upward or downward, according to the
direction of its axis of rotation.
To obviate the irregularity in the flight of
the bullet, caused as above stated, the rlled
barrel was invented, and effect the desired
object with great certainty. The twisted
grooves formed in the bore of the rife
which, in the most approved rifles, make
about one turn in the lengthsof the barrel
cause the ball TO rotate about an axis which
lies in the same direction as the line of
flight hence lis forward half meets on all
sides an equal resistance from the atmos-
phere and is not DETECTED from a right
line otherwise, than by the force of gray
iy.

SOME degree Of excitement has exhibited
itself in Pousvlle the past week, by the
presence of Henry Ilil high sheriff of Liv-
ingson county New York, and another
gentleman, in quest of horses said to have
been stolen some months since from citizens
of that section. A number Of fine carriage
horses, in the possession Of gentlemen here,
were identified as among those stolen, and
on proper affirmation, , of them were deliv-
cred up. There is a presumption, based
upon circumstances which have transpired,
that combination exists between certain
horse dealers in New York State and in the
northern portion of this State, with gang
of unprinciped men, who are parties ,o 4
wholesale swndling operation, of which ins
nocent purchasers are made the dupes.-

EARLY CUTTING OF GRAIN,

In advance Of the time of harvesting the
wheat crop, we desire TO impress these
"u'hs upon all wheat growers. BY cutting
y"u' "hea' from seven TO ten days before it
IS flPe, lie following beneficial results will
How ; yonT straw will be heavier, brighter,
more nutritive, and make food for vour
stock while, TO certainty, your crop will
escape injury from that fatal disease-the
Rust.
We take time by the forelock to give this
short notice but shall in nur rext months
conversation, treat the subject more at
large.
Wheat intended for seed, shonld, we
think, not be cut before ii may have rlper-
ed. This, however, is an unsettled point.
Had our advice been followed last year,
we are confident that wheat growers would
have been spared the loss of thousands of
bushels Of wheat which they sustained
through the rnst owing 10 their delaying
cutting until the grain was ripe.
We will here add, that it would be con.
sisient with enlightened economy, to harvest
all descriptions Of small grain, before they
are fully ripe.

ASTONISHING CAsE,--On Tuesday an old
servant woman, belonging to Mr., Hamilton
Lutborough, died, aged seventy. For thirty
years she had been afflicted with a large
lump below her stomach, bony 10 the touch.
Yesterday post mortem examination was
made by DR.. j. S. Snyder, when one Of the
most remarkable cases known TO the profess
sion was developed. 1t seems that, at the
age of forty, she gave birth to dead born
twin infant Shortly after the swelling made
its appearance, the uteras became ossifed
and enclosed an infant, and now, after 80
years, it appears in its natural state, perfect
in feature, limb and muscle. The weight Of
the ossfcial uterus is pounds and - oun-
ccs. 1t measures "a inches at its greater
circumference, and II inches at lis lesser.
This pathological curiosity was seen by hun
dreds of our citizens during the day. 1t is
the intention of Dr.. s. to forward this singu-
lar specimen 10 DR.. Valentine Mott, of New
York, and shortly to give detailed account
of this most interesting case.-Gcorgctolgn

ARTIFICIAL CoAL.-In the French Acade-

ments have been made in producing mine
raj coal by an artificial process, which ii is
expected will throw much light on the sub
ject Of geology, Wood is put into an iron
or glass cylinder, and closed against any
escape of air, and applied to heat of 500
deg. The result has been, that the wood
was melted anG reduced 10 mineral coal
Old wood of dry fibre produced dry coal ;
but young wood, or that which was put in
wet, produced glutinous coal.

OF the population of 35S, ,92G, there are
2S3, SOB Scotch; S,929 English; Ga, 1876 Irish;
i,065 foreigners; S15 colonists, British sub
jects; and 420 not ascertained.
The result Of the present censns appears
TO be that the Irish bear TO the gross popula-
ton 81 per cent more than they did 10 hat
of 1871 but this last cipher gives no ade-
quate idea Of the increase Of those who may
be strictly considered as belonging 10 Ire
land, and who are domicied within the
limits Of Glasgow and its suburbs. Within
the last ten years the children born of Irish
parents have been very numerous; but these,
of course, are all put under the head Of
Scotch. While, therefore, there appears
only to be an increase of 2.O7 per cent in
the present enumeration, above that which
the Irish bore to the population of lS41, the
real number Of inhabitants who are imbued
with Irish characteristics, habits, feelings,
and religious sentiments, is infinitely greater.
II is probable that this class amounts to be-
tween one. fourth and one-fifth of the whole
population. The excess of females over
males amounts TO 1854, which shows that
there are 1897 females for every 100 males
1t Likewise appears that of the population
within the parliamentary city and burgh of
Glasgow, exclusive of those belonging to
public institutions, and amounting 10 327,-
065, there are 5.04 TO each family; while
the population of the whole city and suburbs,
also without public institutions, and amount
ING to 353, 1876, shows SIG to each family.
