Rendering Lard-One of the best
housekeepers in the county of Philadel-
phia, has communicated to US the follow
ing receipt for rendering lard, which was
obtained from Charleston, and which pos
sesses many important advantages over
the common make. 1t is simply to put
in the kettle before the lard-say three
p'''ts Of leg made of hickory ashes, to a
common barrel kettle, generally holding
less than barely The advantages of
this are, that the lard renders easier, be-

sued for several years, with the highest
satisfaction.

The Bible.

How comes that little volume, com
posed by humble men in a rude age, when
art and science were but in their child
hood, has exerted more influence on the
social system, than all the other books
put together? Whence comes it that this
book has achieved such marvellous chan
ges in the opinion of mankind-has ban
ished idol worship-has abolished infan-
ticide-has put down polygamy and di-
yorce-exalted the condition of woman
raised the standard Of public morality
created for families that blessed thing, a
Christian home-and caused its other tri-
umphs by causing benevolent institutions,
open and expansive, to spring up as with
the wand of enchantment What sort of
a book is this, that even the winds and
waves Of human passions obey it? What
other engine of social improvement has
operated so long, and yet lost none of its
virtue Since it appeared, many boast
ed plans of amelioration have been tried
and failed, many codes of Jurisprudence
have arisen and run their course, and ex-
expired. Empire after empire has been
launched on the tide Of time, and gone
down, leaving no trace on the waters
But this book is going about doing good,
leavening society with its holy principles
cheering the sorrowful with its consola-
tion--strengthening the tempted--en-
couraging the penitent-calming the trou-
bled spirit-and smoothing the pillow of
death. Can such book be the offspring
of human genius! Does not the yastness
of its effects demonstrate the excellency
Of the power to be of God ?

Interesting to Newspaper Adver-
tiSerS and Publishers.

In suit in the Supreme Court yester-
day, before Judge Oakley, brought by
the proprietors of the Courier and En-
quier against Henry 1. Ibbotson, for
$500 for advertising, the jury rendered
verdict for plaintiff of $31s.s9, the a.
mount claimed, with interest. 1t appears
that when the advertisement was taken to
the Courier Office there was some misun-
derstanding respecting the number of in
sertions. 1t was, however, put in, loaded
and displayed, and remained so one hun
dred and fifty days, at 81 for each inser-
ton. The defence set up was chiefly that
Mr.. Ibbotson's orders in respect to the
advertisement were not carried OUT
However, he took the Courier and En-
quirer daily, and, as was presumed by
the Court, saw the advertisement in ques-
ton, and should have notified the editor
to alter or discontinue it. The Court ruled
that he should have given this notice, ,and
not have expected to enjoy the benefit of
the advertisement without paying for it.

Mutton Mill.

The following is a description given
some time since, of mill established on
queer mechanical principal, in one of
the villages down East:
A gentleman travelling in that section
of the country, overlook a farmer drag
ging a lean, wretched looking horned
sheep along the road.
/" Where are you going with that mis-
cradle animal 2" asked the traveller.
" | am taking him to the mutton mill, !,
to have him ground over" said the far
mer
The mutton mill? never heard of
such thing, will go with you and wit
ness the process"
They arrived at the mill; the sheep was
thrown alive into the hopper, and almost
Immediately disappeared. They descen-
ded to lower apartment, and, in a few
moments, there was elected from spout
in the ceiling four quarters of excellent
mutton, two sides of morocco leather, a
wool hat of the first quality, a sleeps
head handsomely dressed, and two elegant
ly carved powder horns.
Were it not for the fact that the above
is in the papers," we should feel dis
posed to dispute it.

Coal Ashes.

Mr.. Stour, formerly Editor of the Ear
mer's Gazette writes the following to the
New England Farmer He is a judi
cious man, and his statements are relia-
bic, although they are opposed to the
general belief on this subject
Mr. EDITOR In your weekly paper
of 18th June, l notice an inquiry from
correspondent, whether coal ashes can
be used with any benefit in agriculture p
And as [ have not seen reply to this
question in any subsequent number of the
Farmer, will venture to give my own
experience in the matter, small though it
may be.
About the year 1910, while publishing
the Farmers Gazette at New Haven, l
found heap of anthracite ashes in my
garden in the spring-the accumulated
siftings from two stoves during the pre-
vious winter. Having seen the sugges-
tion in some agricultural paper, that these
ashes were of some value as fertilizing
agent, it occurred to me that [ might try
the experiment without cost. According
ly, when about to commence the opera
ton of gardening, spread the ashes over
the surface of the garden, as evenly as
possible. There were some two or three
cart loads of them, and they had lain in
a snug heap near the centre of a small
garden of not more than four or FIVE rods
square. Across the spot where the heap
had lain, had bed of common blood
beets and few rows of string BEANS
The general effect of the ashes on all parts
of the garden was evidently good; but on
the particular spot which had been occu-
pied by the ash heap, the result was real
ly surprising. The growth of beets and
beans, in that part Of the beds, was nearly
double that of the same vegetables beyond
the limits of the heap. SO marked was
the difference, that it was prominently
perceptible to the eye as far as the garden
could be seen. The soil at New Haven,
as you are probably aware, is a light
sand.
| have no doubt that coal ashes are
worth something as fertilizer; and that
on farms within two or three miles of any
of our New England cities, they will pay
for carting. Generally, Isuppose, house
holders in cities will be glad to give them
away. l think of trying their virtues on
a portion of my moving, by spreading
them either this fall or early next spring;
and if they have any material effect, you
may possibly hear from me again.

MORE FINANCIAL FRAUDS have been
reported in New York, and several per-
sons have been arrested for passing false
tokens or worthless bank bills, &c. A
young man named Bradley Freeman, and
his father, Horatio Freeman, were ar
rested, the latter having passed several
bills on the "New York Exchange Bank, "
which were worthless, and a package of
bills on the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Georgetown, d. c., was found in
their house. Freeman said he received
them from G. B. Huntington, a reputed
Wall street broker, who gave him 81 600
worth of them to purchase grain, &c, in
Canada. Huntington was arrested, and
several brokers were discovered to have
been defrauded by representations from
Huntington that they would be redeemed.
1t seems also that he induced Mr.. j. A.
Patmor, broker, to consent to redeem
them by promising to deposite with him
$4,000 for the purpose, and stating that
responsible parties in Newark, On. J,)
were interested in them. He thereupon
commenced redeeming them, having re-
ceived cheek for 81 900 on the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank of Railway, signed
by one Wm. H. Clark, of Newark, but
on presentation of the check he was in
formed that there was no money to meet IT..
Mr.. Patmor, therefore, made complaint,
and Huntington was arrested and held to
bail in $4,000. Patmor is said to have
lost $500 by the operation. The Express
says:
"At present he is unknown to the au-
thorites where these tokens were got up,
but they are believed to have been man
ufactured in this city. In possession of
Huntington at the time of his arrest were
found bills of various denominations, pur-
porting to be on the Citizens Bank of
Washington, D. c. Merchants bank, An
acostia, D. c., all of which are fraudulent,
there being no such banks in existence"

A Sheep Story.

The editor of the " Cleveland Herald
is responsible for the following, which We
commend to the particular attention O
farmers and breeders =
Among beasts there is language, one
too that speaks, though in silence, with
"most miraculous organ" one though
"dumb to us" in Its expression, yet in ac,
ton most impressive, however wonderful
and mysterious. "Actions (do indeed
speak louder than words" and never fai
to call forth our admiration or censure
while preaching without practice" never
fails to draw out our contempt.
On visit to the country, recently
while sojouring on the farm of a friend
we had occasion to witness the language
of dumb animals, carried by themselves
into action. Strolling down to a field
boarded around with fence, and wherein
were confined flock of sheep, we stood
gazing upon them for some moments when
suddenly we perceived one of the sheep
approach the fence, and walk clear round
it, it being square enclosure, and having
found out what he sought, returned to the
flock who stood in the middle of the field
watching him, and who Immediately form
ed circle, their heads all turned to the
centre, and held, as it appeared to US, a
consultation, which after a few moments
ended by the same sheep who had taken
the round before, approaching that part
Of the fence, which he had left last, and
which we now observed was lower and
easier to climb than any other part, and
here stopping, fixed himself head up to
the fence, and awaited the approach Of
the rest who had followed him and who,
one after another, now mounted his back
and then leaped the fence, till the whole
flock had reached the outside, when he,
by sudden spring and then scramble
also gained the outside with them. How
ever singular this may seem, it is never
theless true, and "we thought it writ down
il our duty" to speak of it, as we have
never before seen anything of the kind,
The farmer had told US that morning,
that his sheep had managed to get out of
their pen, and it being too high for them
to leap over, and there being no aperture
large enough for them to get thro', it had
been a matter of wonder to him how they
did it.

s@ laundering IN Calyorn1a.-A let
ter from Asa Walker, Esq, in California,
says the Bangor Wing gives the following
description of numbering operations of that
region, in which he is engaged. He has
two trees cut, which will make one hundfed
and fifty THOUSAND shingles piece they
are ten feet through at the butt, retain
their bigness within foot for eighty
feet of working timber, and then stretch
along the earth in broken mass of tim
Der and knots for about one hundred feet
more Close beside him is the skeleton
of tree out of which has been taken one
hundred thousand rails, fifty thousand
shingles, and the remains will make at
least fifty thousand shingles more; the
stump measures twelve feet one way and
thirteen the other, in diameter, and the
tree stretches on the ground over two
hundred feet. One tree has been worked
over two months, and two hundred and
twenty-five thousand shingles taken from
it.

How 10 PON Corn.

A correspondent of the RauaI Ncac-
Yorker gives the following directions for
popping CORN
"Take two quarts of salt, put it in an
iron kettle and heat it; when it is hot
enough (the degree of heat may be found
by triaD to pop the corn, put it in and
stir the whole till the corn begins to pop,
then cover the kettle to prevent the corn
from flying out, raise the cover occasion
ally and stir the corn to keep it from
burning, When you have had little ex-
perience you can pop corn in this way
better and easier than in any other. The
corn will all be turned inside out, white
and soft, provided the corn is well dried,
as it should always be when you under
take to pop it. The corn may be easily
separated from the salt by sitting through
a common tanning mill seive, and the
same salt will answer to pop in all winter"
1t is not hard to try; but be sure to try
right
