RUM AND ToBAcco.--AmesL Lawrence,
late of Boston, was very rich, and what
was better, made very good use Of his
money. He was a shrewd and obser-
ring man In letter to friend, writ
ten in 1852, he states the following facts
las the result Of his observations
Il have always given a preference for
more than forty years, to those pers ons
l have employed that | knew avoided
rum and tobacco, and nay experience
confirms me in the opinion that this
has been true wisdom preference is
ia profit, and the mass of those enjoying
this preference will succeed in their
pursuit In the twenty-five years of my
active oversight of business, no one Of
the pupils in our merchantile business
failed, while within less period thir-
ty-eight out of forty of the young men
lin a large mercantile concern within
"gunshot' failed. Among those who
served in A. & A. Lawrence's store,
are now many gray-headed and rich old
men, among the most respectable mer-
chants in this country, and who are
truly "merchant princes" and are honor
ed as such. Therefore, | may well
advise all lads to keep clear Of rum and
tobacco, thus ensuring for themselves q
preference all other things being equal

The JEWISH New YEAR.-Tuesday,
the l4th instant, was the lst day of the
gear, and was celebrated with all the
forms of Judaism in the various Syna-
gogues throughout New York. On this
day it is customary for all good Hebrews
to meet together and review the past,
and to prepare themselves for the per-
formance Of their moral and social obli-
cations in the New Year. In accordance
with this custom, the various Syna-
gogues, of which there are some four
teen in New York City, were crowded
not only by Israelites Of New York, but
also by large numbers of the Jews who
come from afar off to fulfil the require
ments of their faith, and prepare them
selves for the Feast of the Atonement.

1.-THE Corn Crop is magnificent o
YER all the Northwest. It has been in
iured in some Of the Northern counties
BY frost, butcomparatively to small ex-
tent, though in particular nelghbor-
hoods the loss is said to be equal to
one third. 1t may be said with truth that
no such crop of Indian corn has never be-
fore been grown in the Northwest.
The newspapers are comparing corn
stalks as usual. Somebody at the East
began Dragging on ten feet, whereupon
Western friends put in for fifteen, eight

do not know. We have some in our Of

Our WEsr.-A gentleman, whom
we recognized as an old school-fellow,
stepped into our office, to inform US that
he lived in the veritable backwoods. -
The first live individual we have ever
seen from Richland county. He said
that they did not have any money off
there, and they didn't need it, for the
very good reason, that there Dasnf any
thing to buy. Whenever any business
becomes necessary they use kind Of cur
rency peculiar to themselves, in the

WISCONSIN, FRUIT.-The fears which
have haunted The imagination Of our far.
mers and which we have often heard
that the soil and climate of
Wisconsin were not adapted to the sue
cessful growing of the commonest varie-
ty of fruits, should be entertained no lon
ger. The experiment may be now re-
garded as having been fully and fairly
tested.
From the day We became resident
Of the state, we have watched the pro.
gress of this branch of agriculture, witt
high degree Of interest. Our conclu
sions are--drawn palpable, tangible evi
idences-that fruit can be grown here
as abundantly and in as great porfec.
ton as in Western New York. Will
most of our farmers--even the earliest
settlers-the raising of fruit still remains
and untried experiment, The few who
did turn their early attention to it, have
not only demonstrated the practicability
of the thing, but are now reaping a rict
reward in plenty Of fruit. Among this
class the name Of Mr. James Caldwell
deserves 20 be noticed Badger State

AN INTERESTING ExPERIMENT.-At
one of the evening meetings Of the Brit
ish Association for the advancement of
Science, NJ. Boutigny, a French philos,
opher, having been pledged to thrust his
hand into pot of melted iron, a pot OF
glowing metal, red hot from the furnace
was placed before him, when having
dampted his right hand with a little wa
ter he plunged it with perfect impuni.
ty into the mass. The sensation he as
sured the spectator, was one rather Of
cold than heat, and he gave the follow
ing reason for the phenomenon
The moisture or the skin became con
verted by heat into that peculiar con-
ditioa termed spheroidal vapor, which
being bad coneuctor of heat, efectu
ally prevented the skin from being bur.
ned.

REMOVAL OF THE S1oUx.-The Sioux,
who few weeks ago were seen prom
enading our streets in great numbers,
have entirely disappeared. They have
removed to their new home on the Min
nesota, where they will in a few days
be paid their annuities for present year.
This is the contamination Of another link
In the great chain of their destiny
The wants Of the whites have demanded
this sacrifice, as they will require anoth-
err few years hence, to be again follow
ed by another and another, until the race
becomes extinct, and the vast country
west of us becomes populated by more
useful class. The land which now pro-
vides for the Indians a precarious sup
sistence from the animal and vegetable
products which Mature has provided
will be brought under the control Of the
agriculturalist, the miner and the mocha.

comfort of the Indians, demanded then
