the ohio Cuiticofor gives the following
rs preventive and cure for horses kicking
in harness, which he has adopted repeated
II with complete success.
Take forked stick, about two feet long,
varying little according to the size of the
horse. tie she ends Of the fork firmly to
each end Of the bride bit, and the other
end Of the stick to the lower end of the
collar 50 as to keep the head up, and this

LEWISBURG CHRONICLE & WEST BRANCH FARMER

MrThe Reception of Kossuth at Har-
risburg, was attended with many disgrace
full circumstances. The ceremony was to
take place in the Hall of the House OF
Representatives, but the eager crowd
Obtained possession Of it, and refused to
give way for the customary and proper
formalitie. The efforts of the Officers,
seconded by company with bayonets, at
last succeeded in getting kossuth, Gov.
Johnston, and their suites to the Sneakers
chair, where the ceremony was gone thro'
with in dumb show, the yells and shouts
Of the mob preventing any hearing OF the
Governors address or Of the reply OF the
distinguished and invited Guest. The
conduct of the outsiders was highly repre-
hensible, and must have been disgusting
to Kossuth.
On subsequent occasions, Kossuth ad'
dressed the citizens generally, at the Court
House, the Ladies, received deputationl
from various quarters, and visited th'
Legislature, in both branches Of which h

Lard Candles.

We learn by Cist's Cincinnati Advert
ser, that one of the most important I'M
provements Of the age, is 4 new species Of
candle, which has recently been made in
Cincinnati, and which will shortly be
offered for sale. 1t is calculated to super
scde all other kinds in use, by its beauty,
freedom from gut,ering, hardness, and
capacity of giving light, in all Of which
respects it is represented as superior to
every species of candle. This candle, it is
said, is nearly translucent, and can be
made to exhibit the wick when the candle
is held up between the eye and the light,
while the surface is as glossy as polished
wax or varnish. The principal ingredient
is lard. Taking durability into account, it
can be made as cheap as any other candle,
aud rs there exists no single element of
comfort, convenience, profit, and economy
la which this article has not the advantage
Of sperm. star, wax, or sallow candles, 1t
will be readily conceded that the days OF
all other table or portable light, including
lard oil, are numbered. In fact, except
where intense light, as in public buildings,
is an object, gas itself can not compete
with it for public favor. We have given
what is, claimed for this new invention,
and if it redeens all these promises. its
inventor may be put down among the ben
cfactoIs of his race. !

~" Dickey's Corn Planter has been
introduced here by Mr.. BENIN Lea', of

claims saving of over 20 cents Per acre

RULES for ascertaining the quantity of
Corn or other Grain in CRIB, &c.
Having previously leveled the corn in
the crib or storehouse, so that it viii be Of
equal depth thro'out, ascertain the length,
breadth anl depth of the bulk, multiply
these dimensions together, and their pro-
duct by s, and then cut cfi' one figure from
the right Of the product; this will give
you the number Of bushels and a decimal
Of bushel OF cared corn.
Example In bulk Of corn in the
ear, thirty feet long, FIVE feet broad, and
six feet deep, there will be seven hundred
and twenty bushol. Of cared corn: as 80 y
5=l5O Y 6=900N 5000; low, as it
requires two bushels of ear corn 10 make
one bushel Of shelled corn, take half of
the above. gay 5000 and you have the
amount Of shelled corn.
Another, and | think preferable, and
more useful to Carpenters who wish to
build sarners in the barn for Farmers, Is
the following short process, though not
exactly accurate, is sufficiently so for all
practical purposes. BY multiplying the
length, breadth, and height, into cubic
feet, and deducting one fifth from the
result, the capacity of the garner will be
sufficiently nearly ascertainod.
Example What number of bushels will
a garner or house, II feet long, 5 feet
wide, and 10 feet high. hold?
12XS=96X Y 1O=l-5 9G0, deduct one
fifth and YOU have 7GS bushels for the
answer. l92

yet SO free from vanity and pride. So rich,
and yet soindustrious--so patient and per-
severing in his calling, and yet so kind, So
ciable and Obliging. There are thousand
noble haits about bis character. He is gen.
orally hospitable--cut and drink with him,
and he won't set a mask on you, and sweat
it out of you with double compound interest
as some people I knoa will; you are welcome,
He will do you kindsess without expecting
areturn by way of eempensation--it is not
SO with every body.H He is usually more
honest and sincere, less disposed to deal in
law and underhand cunning, than many
could name. He gives to society its best
snpport-its frmes pillar that support-the

ture, Look at him in his homespun and

me he can laugh backifhe pleases.
