NAvAL.-The United States sloop of Albany,
Commander Plat arrived al Boston Wednesday,
from Havana. She returns after an absence of near
~ two years, having been actively employed in the
protection OF our commerce in The West lndieS and
the Gulf of Mexico. The Albany was at Havana
and on the coast of Cuba during the Lopez INVASION
and not only afforded protection TO citizens dur
ing the intense excitement which il created, but
the means OF aiding and releasing some of those mis-
guided men engaged in il. She arrived al San Juan
de Nicaragua shortly after the firing into the Prone
theus by h. B. NJ. brig Express and remained there
some time, TO prevent similar outrage. The Albany
has been at sea 246 days, sailed over $4,000 miles,
and visited - ports
GUNPowD ER.-Napier, in his History of the
Peninsuar War, describes the effects of a gurpow-
der explosion which occurred just before the battle
of Corunna. He says:
Three miles from the town of Corunna the Span
iards had piled four thousand barrels of powder in
magazine built upon bill, and smaller quantity,
collected in another store house ut dis.
! lance from the first. To prevent their falling a
prey to the enemy, Moore caused both to be explo-
ded, and the inferior blew up with terrible
noise, which shook the houses in the town; but when
the train reached the great store, there ensued a
crash like the bursting forth of a volcano The
earth tremblrd for miles. the rocks torn from
their bases, and the agtaed waters rolled the YES
dust shooting out fiery sparks from its sides, rose
perpendicularly and slowly to great height. and
then shower of stones and fragments of all kinds
bursting out of it, with roaring sound killed many
persons who remained too near the spot Stiffness
slightly interrupted by the flashing of waves, sue
ceeded, and the business of the war went on.'

Sow1Ne Oars WITH WHEAT.-A far
mer residing in Grundy county, Illinois
having repeatedly tried the experiment
Of sowing oats with whea, as protection
from the severity of the winter, is fully
satisfied that it will answer good pur-
pose. After his ground is prepared for
The wheat, he first sows one bushel oi
oats per acre; and then puts the usual
quantity of wheat, and harrows them in
together. He has this season three diff
ferent pieces Of wheat on the same
ground, al! prepared alike. On the first
piece he sowed with the wheat one bush
el of oats per acre; on the second, hall
bushel; and on the third no oats at all
The same kind and quantity Of wheat
was sown on each. The first piece is
good, without any, chess. The second
piece is middling crop, with little chess,
The third piece is nearly all chess, and
not worth harvesting.

The VERDICT OF THE
JURY inquest was held on the body
of one ofthe sufferers by the late calamity
on the Lake, girl, name unknown, and
the jury found verdict 10 the effect, that
she came to her death by drowning from
lie Atlantic steamer, on Lake Erie, as
proven by the testimony offered. The
verdict concludes thus:-
"The Jurors aforesaid, find that
DeGrass McNett, the 1st mate Of the
Propeller Ogdensbargh, was then on duty,
and was on deck That the night was
calm and clear. That from bis own evil
dence, he saw the lights of the Atlantic,
when she was from three 10 four miles
of, and until the collision; that he saw
the two boats approach each other, YET
gave no order TO the Wheelsman, until
within three or four rods of the Atlantic.
That, by his own evidence, If he had de
rected the Wheelman short time sooner,
the collision work. have been asoided---
but he believedthe Ogdensbmgh was in
her proper course, and the Atlantic wac
not. Withngt determining whether there
was ca.eiessness or not on the part Of
those on duty on the Atlantic; the Jury
would not faithfully discharge their duty,
did they no, find DeGrass McNeti, the
first mate Of the Ogdensburg5, guilty Of
gross carelessness, and wicked disregard
Of human life. The Jurors aforesaid,
find that the deceased came TO her death
by means Of such carelessness. "

TIE NEWSPAPER PRESS.

The laborer and employer-the me-
cbanic and the capitalist--the merchant
and the man who lives on his interest,"
all acknowledge the power of the news
paper press, and consult its columns from
day to day with increased zeal. The
influence Of the newspaper is immense
in this country, and no one who is q
lover ofrational liberty and Republican
form Of government, can wish it less. -
While the press is free as now, tyranny
or oppression can never overcome our
patioDal manhood. The glory OF this
land, which is irradia:ing the whole
earth, cannot be dimmed. And vet few
newspapers in this country can live and
become strong, without devoting por--
ton of their columns to advertisements,
The rate of newspapers is SO low among
us, that the mere subscription price,
without some other aid, will not sustain
them. The ablest, most permanent, and
most influential papers in this country
are those that are enabled, by yielding
a portion Of their columns TO advertise
ments, 10 put quota of the income from
that source on to the paper itself for its
improvement--devoting that expense TO
il which its mere subscription price will
not justify.
The writer's observation in this res
pect has been Of long continuance, and
the fact has commended itself to him
very many times in the last twenty years,
in the rise and fall of newspapers.
IL then, the newspaper is so indispen-
sable as The guardian of our liberties
addressing itself to thousands where the
living voice can reach but hundreds
how valuable is any mode by which il
obtains strength and permanency. How
important duty il becomes TO sustain
it. How few think that in the commun-
ications they make through The adverti-
sing columns of a newspaper-which in
expense is but triAing and returns with
tenfold interest to the advertiser-how
few indeed think, that besides this pc
cuniary advantage growing out Of their
liberal views, is the higher. nobler one,
of Strengthening the newspaper Of their
choice-of giving it wider circulation,
and more power to its eforts-of speed
ing it with more certainty and efficiency
into the family circle: thus laying the
foundation in the youthful members Of
those circles, by impercep,ible degrees,
for good men and women-strengthen-
ing the patriotism and virtue of all, and
blessing the State with those richest jew
els, good citizens! And yet, out ofa we'll
digested system of Advertising, springs,
legitimalely, such advantages as these;
growing as they spread, till the good
they do became immense, incalcu!able.
He is not wise, either in worldly, NOR
al, or social sense, with so great results
sprnging from such line Of business
conduct, who is not the generous patron
of ajudicious system of advertising =

As True AS GosPEL.-,When rakish
youth goes astray, friends gather around
him to restore him 10 the path Of virtue.
Genleness and kindness are lavished
upon him TO win him back to innocence
and peace. No one would suspect that
he had ever snned. But when poor
confding gi,l is betrayed she receives
the brand Of society, and is henceforth
driven from the ways ofvirtue. The be,
trayer is honored, respected, esteemed;
but his ruined, heart-broken victim,
knows there is no peace this side of the
crave. Society has no helping hand for
her, no smile ofpeace, no voice Of for,
giveness. These are earthly moraliiies
unknown Of Heaven. There is deep
wrong in them, and fearful are the conse-
quences.

HOME PICTURE.
BY MRS. FRANCES D. GAGE.

NNNA4'
BEN FISHER had finished his harvesting
And he stood by the orchard gate.
One foot on the reil, and one on the ground
AS he called to his good wife--KATE.
There we're stains Of toll on his wamus red
The dust Of the field on his hat.
But twinkle Of pleasure was in his eye.
AS be looked at his stock SO fat.
''Here, give me the baby, dear KATE, you are
tired
Ifear you have too much care,
You must rest and pick up little, think
Before we 90 to the fair.
I'd hate to take fat oxen, you know,
Fat hogs, and fat sheep, and fat cows,
With wife at my elbow as poor as crow,
And care wrinkles shading her brow."
,'Can't CO." did you say? "Can't afford the
expense,n
know KATE, our crops ain'tthe best.
But we have labored together to keep things
along,
And together we'll now take rest
The orchard is bare, but old brindle is prime,
And Lilly and Fan are show,
Your butter ond cheese can't be beat in the
State.
So up TO the fair we will go.r
"You've meier seen a city, and Cleveland is
fine,
Meier seen the blue, billowv lake,
Meier rode in rail-cnr, or been in throng
SO KATE this short journey we'll take.
And gather new feelings, new thoughts.
and new ways,
If we find those that suit; as we roam,
And garner up strength, with our heads,
hearts, and hands
For the loves and the duties of home.
81 have sometimes thought, Kate, as plod.
ded along,
For months DER the same weary round,
That fellow who had such a really hard
time,
In Ohio could nowhere be found,
But when I've been called from my home
for awhile
And seen how the rest get along1
1've come back to my toll witk light, cheer
ful heart.
And ''there's no place like home, was my
song"
81 wonder that mothers on'twholly despair
Who ne'er from their cares get away,
But wa Tx with the same tread wheel of duty
for years,
Scarce stopping to rest night or day.
l don't wonder they grow discontented some
times,
That their feelings grow raspy and cold /,
For toll never-ending and labor un cheered (,
Makes woman; and men; sometimes scold."
KATE, and witha smile said "BEN we will go, t,
There may be fatter oxen than ours
Horses switter OR foot; and COWS finer by far
Better butter and cheese, fruit and flowers
But there is one thing claim that know
can't be beat
