have often heard ladies express a desire te
know by what process tie fine gloss OBJ
servable on new linen, shirt bosoms, ETC.,
is produced, and in order to crafty them,
we subioin tie following recipe for ma
king Gum Arabic starch:
Take two ounces of fine white gum ar
abic powder, pu5 into pitcher, pour on
it pint or more boiling water, (accord-
ing to the degree of stiuncss you desire,
anl then, having covered 1t, les it set all
night. In the morning pour it carefully
from the dregs into clean bottle, cork it,
and keep it for use. A tablespoonful OF
gum water stirred into pint of starch
that has been made in the usual manner,
will give to lawns, either white or printed,
look of newness, when nothing else can
restore them, after washing. 1t is also
good, much diluted, for white muslin and
bobinet.

Late Accounts from Carson valley.

Late Accounts from Carson Valley.
The Ell Dorado News of the 28th, has
the following interesting intelligence;

bed of two thousand dollars in gold dust
No clue has been obtained as to who the
perpetrators of the robbery were. The
act was committed about two O'Clock
p. M.
The miners in that part were not doing
very WELL owing to the fact that Gold
Canon was pretty much exhausted. A
number of miners are now engaged in
prospecting.
The agricultural prospects of the Val
ley are fine, can find everything that he

ONLY Two.-Last week we sent the
Pioneer to many who werenot subscribers,
with hope that they would become such,
and a request that they would return the
paper if they did not wish to take it. Only
Two papers nave been returned up to the
present time; we will therefore send to all
as before who have not returned it, and il
they do not wish to be considered subscri-
bers, they can write their names upon the
margin and return it to this, or the Post
office. We were very much gratifed to
find but two persons sending back the pa
per; and one did so only because he was
taking so many religious papers that he
had no time to devote to any other Kind.
Hope he'll find rest.

In Philadelphia, one day lately, are
spectacle looking man, by tie name of
Richard suttle, wLo occasionally gets
drunk, was before Judge Kelly for sentence
having been convicted of an assault and
battery, with intent 10 kill He had stab
bed an acquaintance, in fight, in four
different places. Judge Kelly, in SEN
fencing Linn, said:
ct was my du.y, few days since, to
sentence man to twelve years imprison-
ment, for using knife just you did
Hiscase grew out of a NEE ing wi. h num-
Der of his acquaintances, at drinking
shop, on Sunday The place was full.
and the fight was with an acquaintance.
Justyour case precisely. Yours occurred
near the same place. But there was diff
ference IN your case; the man you st abbed
was able to be in Court and testify
against you-not because you did not try
to kill Linn, but because you happened to
strike tie f1eshy parts of his body-the
other sent his victim to another world. L.
By the merest chance, you were saved 12.
years Imprisonment. You have proved
a good character when you are sober
When you are out of prison, and about
to drink again, just think that you see the
gallows at the bottom of your glass! The
use Of the knife has become too common
and we intend to make an effort to stop it,
l, therefore, shall give you sentence pro-
port.onate, and FIX tie period at seventeen
months in the Eastern Penitentiary.-
This is the penalty for getting drunk.

Washington Doings and specu,ations.


The intelligent correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun wrote, on the 18th, that
Mr.. Leake had declined the appointment
of Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands
and it is said that Gen. Ssarkweather, of
Ohio, formerly a member of Congress,
will have it. Gen. S. was then in Wash
ington. 1t was thought also that Colonel
Blssell, OF Ill, would not accept of his,
the Charge to one of the South American
States. John Appleton, Secretary of Le-
CATION to England under Mr. Buchanan,
1t is said, has declined, in consequence of
serious and sudden domestic afiiction.-
The same letter says that Gen. Dix, of N
York, is not to go to France.
The result of the movements of Rus
sia are of much deeper importance than
has been supposed. If Russia succeed in
this war, it will not be long before she will
turn her arms toward France. The
Netherlands may soon again become the
battle ground of Europe.
We shall know, in due time, wheth
er the alleged naval preparations by Spail
and the warlike movements of Santa An
ma, look toward hostiliyies with the United
States. Ii is not to be credi ed that SpaiI
can seek collision with the U. States
and thus insure the loss of Cuba.
w. B, Sasser, formerly clerk in on
of the departments, WHO was on tlial fo
the murder Of Emeline Johnson, by pois
onlng her, was acquitted on the 17oh,-
The inference to be drawn from this is
chat the act was her own Cfncinnut
Enquirer.

THE Maysville Eagle says: During
the thunder-s orm on THURSDAY afternoon
an interesting LILLE son, about six years Of
age, OF Mr.. Anthony Toner, of this city,
was struck by lightning and instantly kill
ed. He was playing at the time, in Nc
Atee's woods, mile and half south oI
this city.
We learn also, that stack of barley on
miles southwest of this ci-y, was struck
by lightning, setting fire to AMI burning
some TWEEN y shocks. Il spread thence t(
the stanliny barley, and burnt about hal
an acre before it was discovered and ex-
tinguished.

Brutal Murder.

On Tuesday, the21st inst, youngman
named George Sellars was murdered, near
Brownsville, five miles from Cochran S
Landing, in Brownsville, Monroe county,
Ohio. It appears that young Sellars had,
with a number of o.hermen, been engaged
in harvesting, and when their work was
finished and they hadreceived their money
for it, they sat together talking, and finally
the crowd separated for their homes, leav-
ing Sellars and man named Daniel SAILS
bury sitting together. Sellars was missed
the ensuing morning, and Salisbury after
having been asked where he had left the
young man, Immediately decamped. A
bout clock GU Wednesday afternoon the
body of young Sellars was found where
the harvest hands had left the two men
the evening before, with his throat cut to
tie bones from ear to ear, and his skull
horribly fractured.
Search was Immediately made for SAILS
bury, large reward offered for his appre-
hension, and tie country secured in every
direction. He was arrested at Bull Greek,
On Friday, and when on the way to the Of
flee of Jus ice, willie all but one Of Lis
guards were at dinner, lie managed to es-
cape again, L2rge rewards were again
offered, and he was recaptured on Satur-
day, and is now in the Jail at Woodsfield.
Young Sellars's pockets had been cut
of, and lis wallet, containing his honest
wages, amounting to three dollars and tEir-
ty-fve cents taken therefrom.
TIE parties had been on apparently
friendly terms, and the only inlucement
for this bloody deed is supposed to have
been the paltry sum ofmoney Which SAILS
bury knew was in the pockets of his youth
full companion Wheeling A' gas 29M.

WRoNG.-Itis is decidedly wrong for the
English portion of our citizens to attend
the balls of our German citizens for the
express purpose of kicking up muss, and
breaking up there dances. Never have the
Germans been known to interfere in any
of the English dances, and why should
they be disturbed in their enjoyments
Let men who act in this way, ask them
selves: were this dance of ours, would
we let the Germans crowd us off the
floor? 1t is reasonable to suppose they
would not. "Ask nothing but what is
clearly right, and submit to nothing that is
wrong" Let the Germans worship in
their own way under their own wine and
fig tree,' is our sentiment.

SOMETIME NOT HEARD HERE.-Expe-
rience teaches us that where the paternal
or the maternal will is opposed to the mat
rimoninial joining Of their offspring, some
kind of an explosion will take place, AMI
when it does take place it is Of a character
to be warning to all that come thereafter.
To follow up this matter the Louisville
Courier, Of the 9th, thus speaks of IN
elopement:-Cin Eng.
AN ELoPEMENT-A gentleman Of this
ci y, it is reported, loped with lady
from Cincincinnati, Saturday. The lady
was tie wife Of a respectable citizen Of
Cincinnati, by whom she had two child
ren. The parties are true and living ex-
emplifcalion Of the pl.Ii optical maxim of
Glove at first sight, Their meeting at
Cincinnati was the first ever entertained,
and SO magnetic were there two hearts
toward each others love, that the cleo ric
spark produced fusing of that sympa-
thetic member of the 'human form di-
vine," and they eloped for the purpose of
being made sbone OF the same bone, and
flesh of tie same fesh.'

DEMocRATs.-We would call the atten-
ton of every Democrat in Wyandot
county to the call of the Democratic Cen
trail Committee for primary meetings.
Now is the time to settle all heart burn
ings. If you have objections to any Of
those now before you, turn out in full force
at the primary meetings-make youl
own nominations, and then after the
nominations have been made, let us have
unison of action and feeling. The fate
of tlosc who have bolted in former days,
should be a fair warning to all political
aspirants in future Let no selfish mo-
tive control the action of any man upon
this occasion, but let us have free, fear
less and independent expressions, and
then let that expression be tile low II
we do not abide our nominations, why
make them?
We may fail to get the ones of oul
choice, yet no complaint after the selec-
ton is made will ever be heard from U.S.
We will go the ticket, believing the ma
;ority as expressed atthe primary meetings
should rule. Boilers will receive no quar-
ters at our own hands, we care not form
whence they come.

Eg- The London Morning Chronicle
has long editorial on Mrs. Stoves visit
to the Cri5ishers, from Which we take the
following not very complimentary part:
1--WE can by no means commend the
precedent Which Professor Stowe las set
to English husbands by bringing his wife
to be exhibited on pla forms as an object
of great public fa5tery. Long may it be
before an English authoress is induced to
prefer so dangerous and equivocal graf
ifcation to the appreciation Of her readers
the love of friends, and the applause of
her own heart. Long, very long, may it
be before an English woman is persuaded
to parade in foreign lands, the spectacle OF
her own merits and her country's shame!
We are aware that the customs and opin-
ions of American society on these points
arc very different from ours, and that an
ovation of this kind would not be nov
city in that country. But it is novel y
in ours, and we must say most emphati-
cally, that we wish it may remain SO.

No ANswER.-In our last issue we
spoke of the publication of the laws in
nearly every county but this; and asked
why it was that they were not published
in Wyandot? Up to the present time We
have heard no reason for this apparent
neglect. We had some idea of making
a proposition to those who have the con
troll OF this matter, that we would pub
lish the laws and pay over one half or two
MT Is the amount received for the publ
cation to them, and see if we could no
induce them to publish all the laws.

lN- The Liberty (Marylandl News

Gg- The Liberty (Maryland) News
states that Mr.. John Clempson, DR.. G. R
sappington, and Mr.. Stephen D.. Law
renee, all respectable citizens of that place
have within a month been remarked to
their wives according to the Catholic form
ula. The first couple were first married
some thirty years ago, and each of the
others quite number of years. The
cause Of the re-performance OF the cere-
mony, is the late union of one OF each OF
the couples to the Catholic church.

THE FoURTH.-Our German fellow Gil
zens, be it known to their honor, celebra
ted this day of the American indepen-

They had the American flag, with the stars
and stripes spread to the breeze, formed q
procession, marched up and down oul
streets, singing some of their national airs,
appropriate for the occasion. They pre-
sented lively feeling, indicating the
knowledge of their escape from oppres-
sion to a home in the land of the free
We felt like joining with them in the eel
ebration of the birth day of our liberty,
believing that it should ever be kept as a
day of general rejoicing. We hope those
who know what it is to. suffer under the
yoke of tyranny, will remember the re-
turn of this great day, and although ma
tive-born citizens forget it, let it be hon
ored by others.

A Bad State OF Facts.

We are sorry to find existing in our
midst, facts that are or ought to be dis
graceful to the citizens of Upper San
dusky and vicinity. 1t is notorious fact
that while we have but about 80 or &c
subscribers in this town and vicinity, be-
tween 800 and 400 papers and pamph.
lets are taken regularly from the pos
Office; and yet men will complain and say
they are not able to take the Pioneer
This is not only discouraging to the pub.
Usher of the county paper, but is also, g
disgrace to the town, that paper print
ed here cannot have half the support
given to itght literary trash, such as Is
generoHy foken. We merely mention these
facts to show that it is not as urged, pov,
erty that prevents the wider circulation
of the Pioneer, nor yet so much dislike
to it, but lack of the right principles OF
progress at home, and the fact that our
paper can be 5orroaced We hope no sub
scriber will ever let the Pioneer be read
by any one who does not take it and then
we may soon expect an increase to our
list.
We receive at our Office about seventy
FIVE exchanges--some of which are pub
lished in comparatively small places-and
each of them has more advertising than
we do. The difference must be in the
liberality, enterprise and business tact Of
the men. This thing of not advertising
and mking all foreign papers, is right
well calculated to keep up a good paper
at home. Things must change withoutor
a change within uiHhave tn take place.

Cutting Grass and Curing nav.

Timothy should never be cut until af--
ter the seed is formed and then between
the milk and dough state. Orchard grass
however, is so much more tender when
cut in the flower, and is thereis <so much
preferred by cattle when SO cut, that it
should not be permitted to ripen into seed
before cutting; it does so, however, to a
great extent after cutting, and contains
much more nutriment than timothy,
"Many farmers do not consider the
scorchlng effects of our June and July
sun, and the consequence is, that hay is
too much dried in this country. Unles.
the grass be very thick and heavy, il will
generally cure sufficiently. when exposed
in the swarth for two days. When shook
or stirred out, it should not remain in this
condition beyond the first day, orit will
thus lose much of its nutrive juices; nor
should dew or rinh be permitted to fall
upon it, unless in cocks 1t is better, -af-
ter partially drying, to expose it for three
or four days in this way, and es soon as
properly cured, place in under cover. 1t
is good practice to salt hay when put
up, as 1t is thus secured against damage
from occasional grcenness; and there is
10 waste Of the salt, as it serves the
double object after curing the hay, of
furnishing the salt to thecattle and manure
heap.
Glover should be cutafter having full
ly blossomed and assumed brownish hue
By close cutting, more forage is secured,
and the clover afterwards springs up more
rapidly and evenly. The swarth, unless
very heavy, ought never to be stirred
open. but allowed to wilt on the topA 1t
may then be carefully turned over, and
when thus partially cured, placed in high
slender cocks, and remain till sufficiently
dry to remove into the barn. Glover may
be housed in much greener state, by
spreading evenly over it in the NOW, from
ten to twenty quarts of salt. Some add
| a busLel, but this is more than either nee
r essary for the clover, or judicious for the
stock consumingit; as the purgative ef-
: ecss of too much salt induce a wasteful
, consumption of the forage. A mixture of
f alternate layers of dry staw with the clo-
Yer, by absorbing its juices, answers the
same purpose, wLileit materially i'm
proves tie flavor of the staw for fodder.

RATHER FIsHY.-We do not object to
the smell of good fish, but then we are
rather inclined to believe that there are
many bad ones in town, judging from
the smell that came in at our windows

fish, we would recommend our officers
to enact law prohibiting the keeping Of
all cod fsk

support. Success Charley.

GRAIN.-Our old friend Mr. McDermut
informs us that lie has been harvesting,

glad to hear of some of tie crops being
good, as much complaint has been heard
from the farmers. We hope that the grain
may generally prove much better than was
anticipated.

Cutting and Thra hing Wheat.

The appearance or condition; indicat-
ing the proper time for cutting wheat,
depends on the variety. Thus, when the
variety. Thus; when the grain of red
wheat can be squeezed between the thumb
and finger, without any moisture being
forced nom it, cutting may always be
safely commenced; for tits never better
than when harvested in this state, and if
cut late; the wheat is seldom SO good in
quality; besides, serious losses are some
times sustained, in consequence of high
winds, when it is allowed to arrive at a
ripper state. The white varieties should
stand somewhat longer than the red be-
fore they are cut.
"With respect to the color of the straw
as sign of maturity, experience has
shown, that if in a healthy state, the ear
generally ripens before the straw; the yell
lowness of the chaff and upper parts of
the straw, indicate that tie crop is fit to
cut; and the uniform yellow color of the
straw shows that the crop has arrived at
maturity, and; if suffered to stand in the
field, tie kernels are liable to be shaken
out by the wind. ."-1dgri ulturist

REvoLUT1oN.-Ita appears from the fol-
lowing taken from the New York Heralds
that the revolution against the Monagas
Government is still in progress:
''By the steamship Union, from Aspin-
wall, via Jamaica, we have received tie
startling intelligence that tie revolution in
Venezuela is on the incress. The province
of Cumana, one of the most important
of The Republic made a pronunciamento
on the 5yh inst. against the tyranny of
the brothers Monagas. In Cumana is
the castle Of San An onio, famous as the
place of close confinement, during peri
Cd of nine months, of Gen. Paez, who
was most cruelty treated by the order OF
Jose Tader Monagas. In that very place
Monagas is now cursed as the author of
all the misfortunes that have befallen that
beautiful but unhappy coun ry.
In the second ar Icle OF the pronucia-
mento is stated what follows:
1--WE proclaim confedracy as a sys-
tenn most con genial with the rights OF
the sons of Cumana, reckoning as mod
el worthy of imitation tie Government of
the United States of North America
"A letter received by the Union adds
that the province of Margarits, which,
since the war of Independence, has earn
ed the glorious name Of New Sparta. for
her gallent residence to the combined ar
mics of Spain, has followed the example
of Cumana. and declared in favor of the
revo1u riUu; ss1Id it WAS rumored THAT the
provinces of Coro and Marcacaibo, on
the west, were also read to throw off the
yoke Of the stupid domination of the
Monagases.'
