CJThe inhabitants of the Eastern part
of Crawford and Of Warren county, Pa,
are suffering very much fol want Of provis-
ions. Bread and meat have become very
scarce, and command the most exorbtant
prices; potatoes, beans. turnips, &C., are al
SO scarce and dear. The destitution was
so great and universal as to pnt q stop to
the operations of the lumber men before
they had gotten out half the accustomed a.
mount of lumber. Grain Of every kind, du-
ring the greater part Of the winter, com
manded very exhorbitant prices, and hay
could not be procured at all. lTheicattle
consequently are in reduced condition,
and unfit either for service or food.i This
scarcity, however, the Pittsburgh American
says, is confined to aistrip ofcountry 40 to
90 miles wide, which was visited last sum-
mer by a destructive hsil-stOrm, which ruin
ed all the grain and meadows within its
ranpe. ,-t5 49, t. ,s..,.. ,nrgf4

CULTURE OF THE BLACKBERRY.-Con
erable attention is beginning to be given to
the cultivation of this berry in some parts of
the country, and there is strong probabili-
ty of its becoming one Of the most esteemed
of the smaller fruits. During the past year
some remarkable fine specimens have been
exhibited before the Horticultural Society
of Massachusetts, and some of them have
been so much larger and finer than when
first exhibited, that the Society has deemed
it advisable to offer high price for seed
ling, with the hope of further improvement
We can see no good why the black
berry cannot be improved, andmade to yield
to the ameliorating influences of cultivation
and domestication as well as the raspberry
gooseberry; and hope it may be fairly and
fully tested. -'' ..r
Blackberries, done up in various forms,
are highly commended by great many en-
inent physicians in the generality of com
plants of the bowels so incident to warm
weather, and we think they should be cuiti-
waited to greater extent than at present.
To be sure, they can be found growing wild
in every hedgerow; but if cultivation will
improve their quality and flavor they are
certainly worth bestowing attention upon.
Strawberries, gooseberries, and other fruits
which do not possess half, or in fact none
of the medicinal properties of the blackber.
ry, receives large share ofpublic attention
and are growing extensively and proftably
in every part of the country; and why shoulC
not the blackberry, which is both delicious
and wholesome, have some care given to it
culture, domestication, and improvement
We hope horticultural societies and the CON
munity generally win take the matter int
consideration and give it a thorough investi
gationa --.-.-,-. -.--Ll. .-I---L =

HORSE SHOES BY MACHINERY. The
Leeds, (Eng.,) Intelligencer thus speaks of
a machine, for this purpose, invented by Dr..
Hobson. We had the pleasure ofseeing the
machine at work few days ago, and, with
out making pretence to technical acquain-
tance withthe subject, we must acknowl-
edge both obvious advantage in the process,
and beauty of operation. The iron is in bars
rolled in peculiar manner; they are cut into
suitable lengths, and the superfuous parts
cut off by machinery, and the ends of each
piece rounded. Any harsh edges left by
the cutting machiue are ground down, and
the peices are then put on a moving rack,
which drops them one by one at the mouth
of the furnace, and they are carried gradul-
y through the flame and radiating heat oi
the furnace without touching the Goals. By
a new movement at the other end of the fur
mace, the peices are passed successfully tC
the block or die, where each is bent ant
stamped by beautiful combined action O
the machine, and the horse shoe, perfectly
shaped, dropped into the trough to be cooled
The nail holes are afterwards punched il
the cold metal, and it is not necessary a
gain to heat the shoe, so that the hardening
effect of hammering(or stamping)is not lost
The advantages Of the machine, in addition
to the economy of labor, (for the apparatus
for heating and bending would turn Out
shoes for one hundred horses in an hour,
and, that the shoes are formed exactly to
predetermined shape, which can be varied
but always with certainty, to particular re
qurements. DR.. Hobson insists upon tn
advantages of level tread for thehorse, an
the patent shoeis made to that purpose, (ex
ceptional cases omitted.) tits much light

INFLUENCE OF SPIRITUAL RAPPIEG.-As
an instance of the horrible influence which
the humbug doctrine of Spritualism is work.
ing upon good men and women near us, on
other points perfectly cool and sane, we will
relate a statement that was made TO as few
days since:
A gentleman living, we think, in Illinois,
and known to many in this city, has family
of sons and daughters, grown Sp men and
women of the highest responsibility. Some
years ago his wife died, and he living in the
strong remembrance OF her love as faithful
good wife, has never married. During her
life they were happy, perhaps less than the
usual vexations Of married life attended
them; not the first blush of a suspicion ever
attached to her good name. But this has
been swept away by the damnable (excuse
the expression, but it is the most applicable,
and we write it down in great sincerity
magnetic Juggling ofa medium, who has
born evidence from some departed spirit.
that she, the good wife, the revered in mem
ory, was unraithful to him through her whole
career, and that the children, one and all
were illegtimate.
Y Is not this truly horrible! But the worst
has not come. Wholly under the influence
of a conviction that spiritual agency is a
! fixed fact, the gentleman has disinherited his
children as common bastards, and driven
them from his heart. Awife's memory blast
ed, childrens names dishonored in their life,
! and made thing to couple with scourge
to whip their hearts with, a happy home made
desolate, and fathers closing eye of life
rendered dreadful in its loveliness. On what

The Riders,-From the non-appearance
upon our streets, for the last few evenings
back, we are necessarily ledto believe that
eur fair riders have thrown down the rein,
dismounted, and given up their evening ex-
cursions on horseback. We are sorry to
note this fact, believing as we do, that the
value of those young ladies who take fire.

hensive of a violent cold, is l::lO00. Keep
in mind ladies, that healthful exercise in the

health is to your happiness land she who upon
her cheek wears the beautiful rose-tint of

owners have sent challenge to the ship
owners of Great Britain, somewhat to the
following effect:
The Boston parties will produce a ship,
not less than 200, nor over 1900 tons reg
lister, capable Of slowing 80 per cent. over
register, to compete in speed with any yes
sci of the same capacity, now built,or which
may hereafter be builtin Great Britain. In
other words, (the register limits specified
above, taken into consideration,) the object
of the challenge is to decide which OF the
parties can obtain the highest rate of speed
from the same cubic capacity of model, the
winning party to receive 10000.
