clerk, one leg broken and both feel
and ankles mashed, probably will
die; Calvin Siull; Senator G. G
Covey has bis leg broken; Edward
Blackmar, and many others, names
not known. The boat is torn all to
pieces. Every flue collapsed in one
boiIer,-the other boiler cannot be
found. The accident is attributed
70 the gross recklessness Of the en-
gineers. one of whom was on the
safety valve at the time of the ex-
plosion. The carpenter says he told
the engineer, not five minutes before
the explosion, that there was too
much steam on.
EIore PaI ticuIars Of the Loss OF the Buck
eye Belle.
VIM. A.. Gill. Esq, of this city,
had little daughter, about eleven
years old, on the boat, on her passage
from Marietta home. The solicilude
of The family to know her fate was
intense, for a few hours, when they
learned she had escaped unhurt.-
She was in her berth, asleep, at the
time the disaster occurred. The ex-
pIosion drove one half OF one of the
boilers back through the stern of the
boat, breaking every post and prop
of the floors above it. She was
thrown on the floor. among chairs,
mattresses. and rubbish Of all kinds,
but not injured. The steam for a
few moments obscured everything.
She found person weltering in his
blood, near her, unable 10 move
Alter a few moments she got 10 the
outside OF the boat, and held on 10
the railing till boat came along side
and took her off, Her baggage
being in the state room, was saved.
Senator Covey was sitting in the
ladies' cabin, and in the crash the
stove. near which he was sitting,
was thrown upon him, and broke his
leg. A young lady OF our ac-
quaintance, Miss Charlotte Stone, OF
McConnellsvi!le manifested great
presence of mind. By her exert:ons
she removed the hot stove from Mr..
Covey, and took him from the cabin
wreck 10 the guard OF the boat
She then procured a mattress, and
put him on it till he could he re-
moved. The hot stove, with its
burning contents, was on she floor,
and would soon have set the wreck
on fire. She took blankets and
sheets from the berths, and, plunging
them in the water, threw them on
the stove and floor, and thus avoided
that danger.
Mr.. Covey was :aken to the house
of S. B. Robinson, Esq, Of Beverly,
and will receive all the attention
that friends can bestow.
A number Of bodies have been
found, more or less mutilated.
Mr.. Wilson, the clerk. was alive
at the last accounts, but his injuries
are so severe that doubts Of his re-
coverv are entertained.
The disaster is a shocking one,
and will excite much attention. As
the case now stands, il seems to have
been one OF wanton carelessness on
The part Of the engineer. Indeed,
nothing but carelessness could pro-
duce so fearful a result. The boat
was new, having been built at Pits
burgh and put on the Muskingum
this season. 1t was one Of the mail
line that ran from the termination
of the North western turnpike TO
Zanesville. 1t was a fine boat, and
general favorite with the travelling
public on the Muskingum.

Bone Manure.

Bones, though of comparatively recent
introduction as a manure, stand at the head
OF all miscellaneous articles used for this
purpose The improved machinery for pre-
pairing them has brought them into extern
sve use in Europe. In England it has been
demonstrated that on dry sands, limestone,
chalk, light loans, and peat, bones are a
very valuable manure. That they may be
applied to grass with great effect. That
on arabic lands, they may be laid ON laIow
for lurnips, or used for any of the subse.
quent crops. That the best method of
using them, when broadcast, is previously
to mix them up in a compost with earth,
dung, or other manures, and let them lie
aud ierment. That if used alone, thew
may either be drilled with the seed. or sown
broadcast That bones which have under.
gone the process Of fermentation are deci.
dedIy superior in their immediate effects to
those which have not done SO. That the
quantity should be about 30 bushels of dust
or Az bushels of bones, increasing the ouan.

A New Idea in Agriculture.

The steward on board United States
steamer, in the Gulf, has produced several
crops OF excellent potatoes by the follow
ing mode Of cultivation:
" lie produced "A common 'crockery
crate, bundle Of straw, and few potato
eyes, and went to work farming it on board
ship! The process for cuItvallng them is
this Fill your crate with alternate layers
of straw and the eyes of the potato, COM
menclng at the bottom with layer of about
SIX inches in depth of straw, and then a
layer of the eyes--the eyes being placed
about two inches apart over the surface of
the straw-then another layer of straw on
the top. Keep the straw always moist, and
in about two months you will have about

Jane Of a recent date. lie had ascended
some two hundred miles up the river to the
district of the Hassanyehs, whom he de-
scribes as yellow, with straight features
bearing more resemblance to the Fellahs of
Lower Egypt than any other Central African
tribe. OF this people he says -" The
rights Of women are recognized among
them more thoroughly than among any
other savage people in the world. When a
woman marrles, her father reserves one
fourth Of her life thenceforth for her own
use, aud the husband is obliged to respect
this reservation. Every fourth day she is
released from the marriage vow, and if she
loves some one else better than her husband
he can dwell in her tent that day, obigng
the husband to retire. Their hospitality is
such, moreover, that if a stranger visits one
of their settlements they furnish him for
four days, with house and a wife. They
should add family of children, and then
their hospitality would be complete. No
reproach whatever attaches to the woman
Oh account of this temporary connection. "

A certain good-natured old Vermont far.
mer, preserved his constant good-nature,
let what woull turn up. One day, while
the black-tongue prevailed in that State,
one Of his men came in, bringing the news
that one of his red oxen was dead
"ls he z" said the old man; well he
always was a breachy cuss, Take his hide
off and carry it down to FIelchers it will
bring the cash y
An hour Or 50 afterwards, the man came
back with the news that line back and
his mate were both dead"
" Are they 2" said the old man; "well,
took them of B, to save bad debt
that never expected to get. 1t is lucky
that it amt the brndles. Take their hides
down to l'etchers they will bring the cash"
After the lapse Of an hour the man came
back again to tell him that the nigh brindIe
was dead.
/" Is he? said the old man, well, he was
very old OK Take off his hide and take
it down to FleIcher's; it is worth the cash
and will bring more than any two of the
Others"
Hereupon his wife, who was very pi-
Gus soul, taking upon herself the office of
Eliphaz, reprimanded her husband severely.
and asked him if he was not aware that his
loss was a Judgment of heaven Upon him
for his wickedness.
"Is :" said the old fellow well, if
they will take the Judgment in cattle, it is
the easiest way that can pay for it,"

Corn Stall1s.-Scwing Corn.

Mr.. SEAvEY-When seasonabIy cut and
properly taken care of, | consider two tons
OF corn slower equal TO one ton of English
hay, for feeding stock, and especially for
COWS that give milk. Some, however, may
regard this as high estimate and so it is,
If, as IS often the case, the stalks are per-
mltled to remain standing in the field until
they become as dry and insipid as an ash
whip stalk; but if cut up at the roots while
the stalks and leaves are comparatively
green, and placed in small shocks, no dam
age will be done to the ear, while the stalk
will be much more valuable for fodder
A large proportion Of late cut stalks are
rejected by cattle, while those that are cut
early and well cured, are eaten up clean.
Sowing corn for fodder is important in
this section of the country, where the length
and severity OF the winters compels us to
feed our cattle at the barn, several months
in the year. The first of July is about the
right time for sowing the seed. A crop of
hay can be taken from piece Of ground,
and then it can be prepared in season for
corn The hest mode is to SOW in drills
Take light horse plough, and mark the
rows about two feet apart then strew the seed
moderately thick along these burrows, and
cover with harrow moved lengthwise the
burrows. In regard TO the amount of seed
required per acre there are different opinions
varying from two to three bushels. When
lightly seeded the stalks are apt to grow
large aud coarse, and are of much less val.
ue Tor fodder, than when they are small
| therefore, prefer large quantity Of seed,
| Prefer reaping to moving The crop, as it
can then be laid in gavcIs, bound in bun
dies, or shocked in the field. One ton of
this fodder is worth as much as a ton OF
hay. From four to FIVE tons can be grown
upon the acre. A FARMER.

REMARKs,-We are happy to see an i'll
creased attention given to this subject, be-
Ieving that large amount Of fodder may
be annually saved By more systematic
mode Of feeding. Although we have en-
tered into no exact experiments IN the Iced
ing Of cut and uncut fodder, we have come
to The opinion that horse, for instance,
may be well kept at about one-haIf the ex-
pense by having the same quantity OF meal
usually fed to him mixed with cut hay
We have come to this opinion by observing
the effect upon the animal and the quantity
of feed used, through long practice IN
both ways of feeding The profits of the
farm are increased just in proportion to the
saving of loddel provided the stock lhrives
as well with The less quanti'y.-M T..
