The New York Courier and Enguirer,ia
publishing the letter OF Prof Faraday, ex-
posing an incident connected with the.Spir-
It Rapping' delusion, indulges in train OF
nsetul thought, from which we take the fol-
loving:
Thus ends another chapter in the history
of human credulitv. In some respects it has
been a striking. though we can hardly say
strange one. The very men who have been
wont to scout at religion as q superstition,
and to pride themselves upon their exeEnp-
ton from the credulity of ordinary morals,
have been the very first to be duped by this
piece offolly Otthe late infidel convention
ut Hartford it may safely be assumed that
nine-tenths were believers in spiritual man
ifestations. Robert Owen, who had lived
more than eighty years in utter disbelief Of
the souls existence after death. has recent
" published 10 the world that an interview
with medium. in London has produced
changa in his opinions. So strictly true is
the remark which has often been made, that
Of all the men in heword the infdel is the
most credulous. No human evidence, nc-
cording to Hume, can in any case render the
n racles Of scri 2tu-e credible: but there is no
absurd;ty too gross for his followers to swal-
low at the very first sight provided 1t be an
t-scripturll--no superstition too unearthly
to be embraced as soon as it is coniured up,
provided it promises to obliterate the sense
Of Deity and the moral sanctions, and thus
prepare the way for the total subverson of
every institution, both social and religious,
which men have been accustomed to revere.
"All human discoveries says Sir William
Herschell "seenl to be made only for the
purpose Of continuing more strongly the
truths contained in the sacred writings;'' and
yet none the less are the imaginations of
these men continually on the stretch to body
forth from the thjek earth or the thin air
some airy nothing which shall make the BIZ
Bile seem forgery. Science, which they
once hailed Is their strongest champion, has
now become their d-eodcd enemy. Ifitev-
or 81 lightly touch their Illusions, they are

the Wisdom ot the Wise can lay them.

Melancholy ard Strange.

We are once more reminded Of the terri
BILE collision Of April last, near our city, by the
following brief but melancholy statements.
It will be remembered that in the list Of the
dead were recorded FOUR unknown persons,
man, woman, and two lads Of about elev-
en- aud fifteen years of age, and they were
buried without being recognized, with no
friends to follow them to the grave, and no
inscription to be written above them but the
sad one Of the ..unknow." 1t will be re-
membered also that an infant, very neatly
dressed, was taken injured from the ruins.
bat found itself among strangers without one
claiming, or even recognizingit. it. It naturally
excited the sympathies Of many OF our clti-
zens, and was kindly cared for and nursed
in one ofour most respectable families. A
COW was also on board the train for which ne
owner could be found. 1t was feared that
all these might belong to one family and af-
ter long continued and faithful exertions,
such has been found to be the case. Tho in
vestgation has also elic:t2d the ad diitional sad
fact, that another young man, who was
killed, about seventeen years oil ag', and
surp osc1 to be Misner, from card found in
his pocket with his name upon it, was also
one of the sons.
The name ofthe family is Kellogg. They
were moving from New York State to Min
nesota, whittier two other sons had already
gone and leaving daughter Of full age
These three remaining members ofthe fami-
ly have been here, have reclaimed their infant
sister, and visited the graves Of their parents
and three brothers. This is the saddest tale
of all connected with this memorable and
heart rending catastrophe. Its records will
live in some families through more than one
generation.
1t is some reliefn publishing these facts,
to add, that the Michigan Central Railroad
Company, on whose cars they were at the
time OF the collision, have most promptly and
satisfactorily settled with the parties con-
cerned, thus doing all men cln do to assuage
the grief Of the Survivors, and provide for
the education of the orphan.-Caica9o Trib-
AEe.

How to MAKO one Farm Eauai to Three.

G.. T. Stewart, Esq, in recent Address
before the Agricultural Society, thus speaka
on this subject:
Many farmers who destroy the produc.
tiveness of their farms by shallow-work, as
they find that their crops diminished, think
only ofextending their area by adding acres
of surface, as if they supposed that their IT,
tie deeds only gave them a right to SIX inch
es deep of earth. Ii they Will take those
deeds study their meaning, and apply the
lesson to their fields, they will soon realize
in three-fold crops the fact that the law has
gwen them three farms where they supposed
they only had one lin other words, that the
subsoil enriched with the atmospheric
influences ard those other elements which
agricultural scien ce viii teach them to sup
ply to their ground, will increase three-fold,
the measures of its productveness. To
show to what extent the fertility OF the sail
can be increased, refer to statement in
the last Pdten, Office Report. In the year
1850, there were nine competitors for the
premium corn crop Of KY, each of whom
cultivate 10 acres. Their average corn was
about l22 bu. per acre. At this time the
average crop of wheat per acre In the har-
vest of Great Britain, on soil cultivated for
centuries, is about double that produced on
the virgin soil Of Ohio. Why is this. Sim
ply because British farmers are educated
men, and apply work wisely. They pay
back to the earth what they borrow; they
endeavor by every means in their power to
enrich their ground and in return it enrich
es them. II our farmers, instead of iaboring
to double their acres. would endeayor to
double their crops, they would find it a vast
saving of time and toll, and an increase Of
profits.
Many Of them never think Of digging 10
inches into the soil, unless they have
dreamed about crock of gold hid in the
earth; but if they would set about the work
Of digging in earnest, every man would find
his crock Of gold, without the aid Of dreams
and divination.
We have great advantage over the Brit
ish farmers in the fact our farmers nearly all
hold the lands which they cultivate, IN fee
simple. while in England they are chiefly
tenants, hiring the lands Of the nobility,
paying enormous rents to the proprietors,
besides having taxes to the government
Taxes here are comparatively light, and cur
farmers are their own landlords. Hence
they have been able to pay three-fold wa
ges for labor to those paid in Europe, pay
the costs Of transportation, and yet under
sell the British farmers in their own market.

Blackberry Wine and Cordial.

Now that the blackberry season is near at
hand, when the article can be made, we call
the attention to the following receipts, which
we know, by experience, to be most tffiea-
cious. Every house that has children in it
should have the black berry cordial, as it
may frequently save both medicine and
life.
NR. EDIToR:-It may not be known to
many your subscribers that they possess
in the blackberry grown 50 unwillingly by
them in their fields. the means, at once, Of
making an excellent wine and valuable med
icine for home use. To make wine equal
in value to Port, take ripe blackberries o,
dewberries IN press item, let juice stand
,hirtvsix hours to terment, skim off what
ever rises to the top, then, to every glllon
ofthc juice, add quart Of water and three
pounds Of sugar Drown sugar will do) let
this stand in open vessels for twenty four
hours, skim and strain il, then barrel it until
March, when it should be carefully racked
off and bottled.
Blackberry cordialis made by adding one
pound of white sugar to three pounds ofripe
hlackberries, allowing them to stand for
twelve hours, then pressing out the juice,
straining it, adding one-third part of spirit
and putting teaspoonful OF finely powdered
allspice in every quart OF the cordial, it is at
once fit for use.
This wine and cordial are very valuable
medicines III the treatment OF weakness in
the stoma ach and bowels, and are especially
valuable in the summer complaints Of chill
dren.
As this is the season Of such disorders, and
as as the blackberry will soon be ripe,
have thought it necessary y make known
these recipes. Yours, NC

How a CHURCH OBTAINED a SERVICE
OF PLATE.-The New Haven Register re-
lates that toward the close of the Revolution
the good people of the North Church found
It necessary to make some rcpaires.
s'Thcy sent on to Boston and purchased
some nails, whichin due course of time ar
rived, and upon opening the kegs, 10 and be-
hold, one Of them was founl to contain
Spanish dollars. This was got. The
doacons assembled-held a consultation
and the result was, they wrote on to Bos-
ton and informed the merchant, who acting
upon the principle Of our banks at the
present day, wrote that he could rectify no
mistakes-that the nails were bought
and sold as they were. He bought them
oia privateelsman, and must letit stand as
it was. The silver was mcitedu up and made
into a service Of plate for the church, and it
is in existence and use at the present day.
The above was related to usby gentleman
in whose family is large goblet, made from
the same silver, and you may rest assured
that what we have stated is fact"
1t appears that the aforesaid deacon did
not inform the merchant that it was silver,
but simply that there was can error"
