Baron Liebig's discovery in animal ply
siology, that the excessive labour Of the
laws in the maslication of food, wasted the
beasts muscle, and retarded his progress,
has been fully confirmed by practice and
instead of feeding, as formerly, upon hay
or whole ,urnps thrown to them, our stock
have their food ''minced' for them by diff

Such is the advantage obtained by this mode
of feeding, 'lhat lambs fed with the aid of

Of winter, by S.. per head, than lambs fed

The FREEsoILERs IN THE FIELD.-Di.
J. E. Snodgrass, who claims to be The repre-
sentative of NIaryl land in The Freesoil gather

CAT meeting of members Of duly au-
,horized National Committee, which was
held al Washington recently, the questions
of The time and place for The next National
Convention Of the FreesoI party, (Which
has been ordered for the purpose of Pfesi-
dental nominations for 1852 came up for
consideration, with view TO proper deter
mnalion. The result Of that conference
indicated the holding of The contemplated
convention, after the Whigs and DEM
ocrats shall hare held their conrentions-
The precise day being matter of less ur-
gency, its selection was postponed for fur
Their and fuller consultation. Piusburg was
pointed as the place most probably to be
settled upon finally"

THE BANK OF CoMMERcE.-TheN Nation
al Inlelligencer says:
The Bank Of Commerce is a private ex-
change and banking house, the stock Of
which is owned by some eight or nine in
divlduals Of wealth and responsibility, the
principals Of whom, as we are authorized to
stale, are John L. Dufef, Samuel Fowler,
Richard Peilt, VIM. T. Heron, Timothy
ON eale. G.. Rillenhouse, and II. B. Swee-
n.y. OF the character Of these gentlemen
as business men it would be unnecessary for
US to speak in this community, where they
have been so long and favorably known as
efficient bank officers. The operations Of
this bank, unlike those Of our banking in-
situations generally, will not be confined
to the narrow limits of discounling, but. as
its circular indicates, extend TO the purchase
and sale Of stocks, land warrants, ign
bank notes and COINS. We are glad to per-
ceive that its issues, which are limited in
extent, are upon specie basis entirely, and
that they are received by the banks upon all
equal footing with other specie paying bank
notes,

REGULATIONS FOR LENT.-We publish
to-day for the benefit of our patrons the
rules and regulations TO be observed by
Catholics, during Lent in the Arch Diocess

|. All the Faithful who have completed

.ly dispensed, bound TO observe the Fast Of
Lent.

SUNDAYS excepted.
The meal allowed on Fast. days is not
to be taken ill about noon.
4. AT meal, if on any day permission
should be granted for eating flesh, both flesh
and fish are not to be used at the same time.
5. A small retreshment commonly called
COLLATION., is allowed in the evening; no
general rule as to the quantity permitted at
This time is or can be made. But this prac-
lice of the most regular Chrislians,is never
to lie. it exceed the fourth part Of an ordi
nary meal.
6 The quality of the food allowed at q
COLLATION. is, in the archdiocese, bread, butter,
cheese, all kinds Of fruit, salads, vegetables
and f>h, though not warm. but fish previous
Iy prepared and grown cold
z. General usage has made it lawful TO
drink in the morning. some warm liquid, as
tea, coffee, or thin chocolate, made with
water, to which few drops of milk may
be added, serving rather 10 color the liquids,
than 10 make them substantial food.
s. Necessity and custom have authorised
the use of hogs lard, instead Of butter, in
preparing fish, vegetables, SC.

from the obligations Of fasting Young per-
sons under twenty-one years Of Sge, the
sick, pregnant women, or giving sack to

ELEcTRICITY-ITs Uses. -.4mputdting
LimbS-Some operations have been per-
formed lately al Vienna, Austria, by means
of platina-wire heated red-hot, which had
been found TO sever the flesh with as much
ease and celebrity IS knife. One great adj
vantage offered by this method, is the Very
slight ehuson of blood caused BY the wire
as dividing instrument. The way in which
the plaina is kept no, is By making i, a
part of a galvanic circuit. If the two poles
Of galvanic battery are united by copper
wire of uniform thickness, no hea. will be
developed in the wire. but if part of the
copper wire is taken out, and its place sup
piled with thin strip of platinum, this sir ip
will become red-hot, ow ing TO the resistance
(hls is all the name yet used for the phe-
nomenon) offered by the pla,ina, because
il is not such good conductor as the cop
per. This principle is, we see, now en-
pIoyed to the noble object of surgical ope-
ra,ions. ], is an ingenious application Of
science. Electricity is now applied to send
messages thousands of miles away in few
seconds to record the transit of stars to
measure the flight of time; to deposit
metals from aqueous solutions, and to make
them assume an, form choose-tha, Of
the flower or ''lhe human form divine )" TO
move ponderous machinery and now ap-
piled to surgery. We cannot limit its ap-
pIicalions; il is a versatile agent, recording
the high, of the rolling spheres, and irving
assunder huge rocks buried fathoms deep
in oceans bed.

two deep valleys over which it hangs. On the
east, the Mount of Olives, crowned with chap

over tie city, the sight fell far away upon the
lofty mountains Of Moab, beyond the Dead
Sea. The sccne was grand ia is simplicity. The
prominent coors were the purple of those dis

phat; but cannot restore the illusions of that
first view.

The Deoenoies of Life.

There are persons in the world, who, in order
to screen themselves from the charge Of extrav-
agence and folly, try to do it under the plea Of
decency These persons will commit many acts,
which, if they had true ideas of dccency, they
would hesitate to perpetrate, We think the
following are few of the many practices that
come under the cognomen of not decent:
1t is not decent for person to make show
above his or her means.
1t is not decent fora person to run in debt
when he does not intend to pay.
1t is not decent for person to be always talk
ing i'll of other neighbors.
il is rot dscert to ascribe improper motives
to every one we may come in contact with.
1t ianot decent for one to appropriate others
pecuniary means for their own qualification.
Its not decent for young people to show no
respect to the aged.
1t is not decent to be praising yourself ala
ways.
It's not decent to keep youself as a show for
others to look at.
1t is not decent in persons going to places Of
amusement TO incCmmodc others in various
ways.
1t isnot decent to- spend your money in foolish
ness, when you have debts that ought to be
paid.
1t is not decent to starvc your family by spen-
ding yeur money for liquor.
tits not deceot to say one thing and mean
another.
It's not decent to cheat your noighbor, be-
cause you happen to have a little more knowl-
edge than he is possessed of.
1t is not decent to be borrowing papers when
you can get the Freeman for the trhing sum of
nine shings year.

A STATELY BRIDGE.-The New York and
Buffalo Railroad, connecting Buffalo with the
Erie Railroad at IIornellsville, via Warsaw and
Portage Falls, is now completed, and running,
except the bridge over the Genesee at Portage
Falls, which is to be completed on or about the
goth inst,
OF this bridge the Wyoming County Mirror,
says
This immense structure is nearly completed.
Those who have not seen 1t should go now, as
it is worth fifty miles travel to see them raising
it, 1t will be, if not the wonder of the world,
the wonder of the thousands who will visit it
annually We are not aware that there is an
other bridge in the world as high and as large
as this, and are confident there is not, of similar
structure. 1t is 235 feet from the liver to the
track, and 240 to the top of the railing; and the
length is 900 feet The Suspension Bridge at
Niagara Falls is 230 feet high and 200 feet long
so that Niagara is beat in this respect. And
vet though this work is reared to such an aston
shing height it has the appearance of perfect
safety. We are told, that by calculation they
know that it would bear twenty times the weight
of any train that can be put upouit We think
we should not fear in the least to ride over it the
first time. We understand it is in contemplation
to pass over it the first time with four heavy en-
gines followed by train of cars. If so, and
the people have notice of the time, there will be
thousands there to see it,
