New York Cattle Market.

For weeks ending Aug. 9TH, 1858.
From the Tribune's review we gather
that beef is shade lower, perhaps about
&c per lb. than last week. This is per-
haps consequent upon the somewhat infe-
rior articles, which long continued high
prices are bringing into market. The
prices noted are ertra-9 to Ole.
Good retailing market beef 81 to &c.
Common and most abundant to 81Jc -
Inferior, of which their was an oyerstock,

In cows and cal, es, veal calves, sheep
and lambs, there is no appreciable change.
Swine, corn fed, are selling at ea6Ac., and
still fed SIC live weights.

Green Corn.

The most approved modes of enjoying
another delicacy of the season will be found
in the subjoined clippings:
BOILED GREEN CoRN.-Green corn sho'ld
always be boiled on the cob, with the in
ner husks on it. To prepare it, turn down
the inner husks, cut off the upper end,
wash the corn, and replace the husks.-
Boil it about half an hour in water salted
to the taste. 1t should be cooked in Just
enough water to cover it.
Corn FEIrTERs.-One teacupfull of milk
three eggs, one pint of green corn grated,
a little salt, as much flour as will form a
batter. Beat the eggs, the yolks and
whites separate. To the yolks of the eggs
add the corn, salt, milk, and -four enough
to form batter, beat the whole very hard,

The Value of Precision in Description.
The editor of the Leader an English
paper, quotes story which may serve to
elucidate this
The Mayor Of Falaise, (in those DAYS
there was neither gas or oil lamps, the
Mayor gave orders next morning that no
citizen should GO out at night without a
lantern. The following night the Mayor
going his rounds, ran against the same
citizen.
You haven't read the ordinance, you
stupid fellowp said the Mayor, in pas
sion.
Yes, have,' said the Norman, 'and
there's my lantern!'
But there's no candle in it, rejoined
the Mayor.
sThe ordinance said nothing about that,
said the scrupulous citizen.
The next day appeared new ordinance
enjoining the citizens to put candles in
their lanterns. At nightfall the Mayor,
anxious to see whether his orders were
oboyed, went his rounds again, and once
more run foul of the luckless bourgeois
I have you this time, " said the Mayor,
in fury, you have no lantern
Excuse me, here it is
But no candle in it,
sOh! but have, and here it is and
out of the lantern he pulled a candle, un-
lighted.
But it isn't lighted, resumed the ex-
asperated Mayor.
You said nothing about lighting the
CANDLE quickly rejoined the bourgeois.
So another ordinance had to be issued,
enjoining the citizens to light their candles
! in their lanterns.

How SHALL WE PRESERVE EGGs?-This
is the grand question: We have in the
course Of our life tried nearly all the ex-
pedients that have been recommended,
and sometimes succeeded and sometimes
failed from which results you will say it
is no more than fair to conclude that none
of the methods are intallible We have
learned one fact from these experiments.
Eggs should be perfectly fresh when you
begin to preserve them. If an egg has
commenced, even but very slight decom-
position, it is difficult arresting it indeed
we are inclined to think nothing short of
freezing will do it. The following very
simple plan we have never tried, and know
nothing practically whether it be effectual
or not We found it in the farm Journal
quoted from the English Agricultural Ga
zette. We pass it over to our readers for
their consideration. @
Take a half inch board Of any conven-
lent length and bredth, and pierce it as
full of holes leach Il inches in diameter)
as you can. I find that board two feet
and six inches in length, and one foot wide
has five dozen in it, say twelve rows of five
each.
Then take four strips two inches broad,
and nail them together edgewise in rec
tangular frame of the same size as your
other board. Nail this board upon the
frame and the work is done unless you
choose to nail a beading around the top.
Put your eggs on this board as they
come from the poultry house, the small
end down, and they will keep good for
six months, if you take the following pre-
cautions Take care that the eggs do not
get wet, either in the nest Or afterwards.
In summer hens are fond Of laying among
the weeds and grass, and any eggs taken
from such nests in wet weather, should be
put away for immediate use. Keep them
in a cool room in summer, and out of the
reach Of frost in winter. If two boards
be kept one can be kept while the other is
emptying.
The writer accounts forthe preservation
Of eggs in this way by supposing that the
yolk floats more equally in the white, and
has less tendency to sink down against the
shell, than when the egg is laid on one
certainly if the yolk touches the
shell it spoils immediately.-Maine Far

Col. HARRIS, of the Cultivator makes
the following handsome apology for not
taking Wyandotin in his travels.
ApoLoGY.-While at Bucyrus we did
try to find a wagon going over to Upper
Sandusky, as we were anxious to take
turn among the rich farms along down the
Sandusky river; but finding that the wag'
on was too slow to get us home in season
we postponed the visit to a more conven-
lent time, which we bope will not be long
in coming.-ED.
II seems from another brief extractcop-
led below, that we have done an uninten-
tional wrong to Mrs. H., and we don't
know how many little HIS.
"Not thousand miles from this vigor-
Gus little town of Belvue is that apoch
ryphal location" Walnm Villa"-which
holds in its rural shades one of the fairest
and most graceful of our Lady correspon-
dents, known to our readers as COUNTRY
CousIN." The Clenaatis (English) is as
yet her floral representative, whose grace
full fillets will well adorn the sturdier pill
lars of that domestic bower around which
the hand oflove may entwine them. And
lest, for this last paragraph, our friend
Giles, of the Wyandot Pioneer, should be
confirmed in his previously expressed
scandal, that we were ''yet in the salad
days of bachelorism," because ofour ''pro-
clivity to female equestrianism," we will
refer him-the said Bro Giles-to good
ly dame at our cottage ON Third street,
"fair fat and forty who can exhibit sun
dry lively witnesses, as presumptive evi-
dence of matrimony.'
Of course we come right down, and dis.
pense with the profer+. We only plead
in extenuation, that our mistake was not
ansinexcusable blunder. 1t is so rare in
this country where people hurry to grow
old as well as at everything else, to find
man, who with the cares of family and
business still keeps the sunny side of his
heart warm and mellow, that we may vel
congratulate the Colonel on the posses
sion of SO happy disposition. May he

The Ailanthus Tree.

We find that the ruthless persecution
SO long waged against this friend of ours
is beginning to react, and although oppos-
ed to all compromises, the plan proposed,
in the following article from the Albany
Evening Journal, may answer until we
can secure full toleration:.
Simultaneously with the Chinese Rebel
lion, there has broken out TRADE against
the only native of China that has ever
been successfully naturalized and adopted
in this country. tits about twelve years
since the "Tree of Heaven" came over
Then it met with general favor. Its rapid
growth and hardy nature, its straight,
handsome trunk and thick luxuriant foli-
age, made it just the thing for planting in
city streets. 1t was said to combine the
good qualities of the horse chestnut, maple,
elm, poplar and linden, all in one. 1t was
generally planted in Washington, Balti-
more, New York and Philadelphia, and
you can walk now under long shady ave-
nues Of it there, while the young forest
trees, by the side oft, planted at the same
time, are spindling and not half grown
Very few got as far north as this, though
it would grow perfectly well here.
But in the course of few years, it was
discovered that the flowers emitted dis
agreeable odor for two or three weeks in
June, pervading the streets and obliging
the people toshut their windows. Doctors
have experimental with it, and pronounce
it unwholesome. And of course the lar
ger the trees grow, the worse the nuisance
is. Whereupon there arises a cry Of
's'Down with the Ailanthus,' and it's cur
ses come home to roost in its own branch
es. One or two Common Councils have
passed resolutions at it, and all this month
it has been an abomination in the nostrils
of nurserymen and newspapers. Ever
the Home Journal, whose editor wrote thu
famous verses to the "Woodman," &c.
is unwilling to "spare that tree"
Fortunately, however, there is remedy
short of total determination. Only par
of the trees bear the obnoxious blossoms
The staminate and pistillate flowers ar
on diferenttrees, and it is only the forme
that are Objectionable. The pistillate tree
never need be destroyed, and if suckcr
taken from them only are planted, ",

wise any man who talks of cutting dowl
an Ailanthus to find out first whether i
has actually borne the blossoms, before h
does it. Otherwise he may needlessly de
stroy what in five years will be, if it is nc
how, the chief ornament of his premises

ed drag, till the land is like garden. If
you have got 35 bushels of corn to the
acre before, we can warrant you now 70
or so; for you cultivate and hoe the corn
twice as mnch likewise. You double your
crop at very little increased cost Hav-
ing no more manure, you must depend
on deeper ploughing and better dragging
for the other ten acres for this, year; not
forgetting to sow little more seed3 than
usual, if it is oats or barley In the fall
sow wheat where the corn was, with the
same care and next spring, manure the
next six acres for corn. Yes, but you may
manure 10 or 12 acres; for you have had
25 more acres for hay, or oat straw cut
green for fodder, and can keep 25 more
cows through the winter; and knowing
the value of the manure, that it is as i'm
portant to you as the very soil itself, you
will take much better care of if.
Thus, every two or three years, all your
land will get dressing of manure, and
every year you will have different crop
on it. Every year it will improve, and
you grow rich with about half your work
But after while sow few acres of this
land with clover and timothy, and break
up as much of your old grass. You will
get double the crop of hay on the new
piece, and good crop of grain on the old
piece. In one word, of all men in the
world, a farmer should work small piece
of land work it thoroughly; keep all the
stock he can to make manure; keep the
manure dry, and he will not be small
farmer long. We have tried it and we
know it. For the rest, take and read a
good farmers newspaper.
