TTise as Preaching,

Mr. Weaver, in his valedctory in the Ian
caster Gazette, spoke as follows on the subiec
of sustaining local papers. His remarks are
worthy the consideration of that numerous
class of newspaper readers, who neglect from
year to year, to pay up their subscriptions
He says:
There is is one source of annoyance 10 West
ern publishers, which greatly tends to cripple
the influence of local papers. 1t is habit in
many cases thoughtless neglect, of deferring
payment to an indefinite time. The propre-
tors liabilities must be promptly met, and in
many instances he is sorely puzzled and per-
picked to find the means whereby he can full
I'll his engagements. This, as fault, can be ca
silly remedied, without inconvenience to the
patrons of the local press. If his mind wa,
not thus troubled he would be in much bet.
ter condition to discharge his duties, and could
as matter ofcourse make his paper more in
teresting. There should be an improvement
in this respect. Local papers, in counties as
populous as this have circulation, and adver-
Using and job patronage sufficient to keep them
in prosperous condition, and we are certain
that their influence could be largely increased
by prompt payments, while they appeal to the
people for whom they are published, for more
liberal support--a support commensurate with
the advantages which flow from their publica-
ton

The Philadelphia Bulletin says Among
the most successful experiments la Chinese
are those being made by Monsieur Herbet, a
French gentleman, who has been exhibiting
for some time in Paris, aud has lately establish
ed himself temporarily in London. In our for
egn files we find full descriptions of his mode
Of operating. He plansgerariums in deep
box of garden mould, which has been prepar-
ed with some chemical manure and then covers
the whole with glass shade. He next pro-
ceeds to pour over the roots chemical mix
ture, which uniting with the ingredients already
in the earth produces apparently great heat,
for an intense steam vaporis evolved under The
glass. This vGpor is partially allowed to es-
cape through small hole, in the top of the
shade, which had been previously kept closed.
In about five or six minutes, the buds begins
to blow, and in ten minutes, the plants are in
full bloom. To satisfy spectators, that what
they see is not an optical illusion, the exhibit
or pIucks the flowers, and distributes them a.
mong the ladies ofthe audience, as Signor Blitz
of immortal memory is wont, about Christmas
time, to dole out sugar plums among wonder
ing children, at the Chinese Museum. Rose
bushes, in like manner, are made to bloom.

. The value Of lime or plaster. as manure. de.
pends upon Tie component paris Of the soil To
which It is applied. All lard has more or less
sulPhuHc acid in it, caused BY the deeompos.-
Ton ol iron IyT'ies. The presence Ct this acid
may be generally known by The appearance Of
me SOIL and particularly Of the stones. II

Ter IS hard 1t indicates the appearance Of snl.
phuric acid.
1.-THE land on which grass seed is grown is

es, Il indicates The presence Of sulphuric acid.
II the roots Ofcloyer and herd grass in the
spHng stand two or three inches out of the
ground, and in detached parcels, with bare
ground between, il is the work Of sulphuric
acid. On such land plaster is positive injury.
If clover and tame grasses die out, and are
succeeded by wire grass, sorrel or sour dock,
II Is caused by sulphuric acid. Put on lime
and keep of plaster.
The reason Why plaster should not be used
on land charged with sulphurie acid is that
plaster is composed Of lime and sulphur. and
applying that is adding more of thatI with
which the land is already overcharged. On
such land apply lime, whice anites with the
sulPhuric acid, and forms plaster. The lime
thus neutralizes the acid and the acid thus
neutralizes the lime, and forms compound nu.
triment for vegetation.
The reason why the ground appears SO hard
where the earth is charged with sulphuric a.
cid IS, that the old stubble has been eaten up
BY the acid.
The sui phuric acid in plaster, applied to
land not oyercharged with that substance, de-
eomposes vegetation, and fits it for nourish-
ing the living plants When there is an ex-
cess of the acid it cuts up the vegetation, ,!both
dead and living. This is the reason WHY soils
overcharged with the acid are always deficient
IN vegetable matter. And soils free from it
have an excess Of vegetable matter in decom.
posed state.
The presence Of this acid is the cause of sor-
rel and sour dock and sour grass. The land
Is literally sour and Nature is trying to throw
II from her stomach through these excresences.
The rule then is, if your land has too much
sulPhuric acid, or is sour, give it good coat
Of lime If destitute of acid apply plaster.

Overruning what was asked

VALUABLE REMEDY. Flour has been stated
to be remedy against the effect of burn. A
Dayton gentleman states as follows:
While at the supper table, little child which
was seated on its mothers lap suddenly grasp
ed hold of a cup Of hot tea, severely scalding
its hand and arm. Immediately broughta pan
of flour snd plunged the arm into it, covering
entirely the parts scalded with the flour. The
effect was truly remarkabe-the pain was
gone instantly. then bandaged the arm
loosely, applying plenty of flour next to the
skin. and on the following morning there was
not the least sign that the arm had been scald-
ed-neither did the child suffer the least pain
after the application of the -four.

The following is novel way of clearing the
streets of beggars:
AT Florence, some years ago it was pros
claimed that every beggar who would appear
in the grand plaza at a certain mentioned time
would be provided by the duke with a new
suit of clothes, free of cost. At the appointed
time, the beggars of the city all assembled, and
the grand duke causing all the avenues to the
the square to be closed, compelled the beggars
to strip off their old clothes, and gave each
one according to promise, a new suit. In the
old clothes, thus collected enough money was
found concealed to build beautiful bridge o.
yer the Arno, still called ''The Beggars, BIidge'
and the city, for the time being was releaved
of the beggars by which it had been previously
overrun as none would give to the well dressed
individuals who implored charity, not beIicS-
ing their tale of distress.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


oh could there in this world be found
Some little spot Of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might go round,
Without the village tattliug
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
OF gossips' endless prattliug
II such spot we're really known,
Dame peace might claim it as her own
And in it she might 6N her throne,
Forever and forever;
There, like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive,
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
'Tis mischief-makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
And lead us all to disapprOve
What gives another pleasure.
They seem to take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unknd by them,
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed with their poisonous measure.
And then they've such cunning way
OF telling ill-meant tales; they say,
Don't mention what I've said. j pray, ~
sU ! would not tell another" .s..
Straight to your neighbours house they go,
Narrating everything they know,
And break the peace Of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
Oh that the mischief-making crew
Were but reduced TO one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them
Then would our villagers forget
20 rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet
With things so much below them.
For It's a sad degrading part,
To make anothers bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart ...
We ought to love and cherish
Then let us ever more be found
In quietness with all around.
While friendship, joy and peace abound,
-g.Is, And angry feelings perish! -...

"whlg Extravaganza" at washington.

Never was an administration more signaly
abused than was that Of Mr.. Fillmore, on aC-
count of its extravaganza, waste of mo-
ney,' 'profusiOn,' DC. The Locofoco organs, all
over the country from the Union down, teem-
ed with this slang; and stump orators, during
the last Presidential campaign, harped much
on the subject But these presentations
like many others used during the contest, are
beginning to be understood,
We have before us the official statement Of
the amounts of estimates transmitted by the
Wing Secretary of the Treasury, and of the
appropriations made by the Locofoco Congress,
for the service of the fiscal years ending June
3o 1851 and 1859. From this official state
ment, signed by the Register, it will be seen
that the estimates Of the Fillmore Administra-
tion for the fiscal year l85O-51 were
$37 3768O,O17
The appropriations made by a
Locotoco Congress were 47,162. 5O6
The LocofocoS appropriated OVER
what fillmore asked $9,482, 489
Fillmore Administration asked,
in l851-52 .... S33, ,667, ,489
A Loco Congress appropriated 38, l62, ,262
Overruning what was asked $4,494, 773
Thus it will be seen that during the two last
years of the Whig Administration, the Locofo-
CO Congress appropriated $l3, ,986, 262 more
than was even asked by the Wings.
In giving these facts, then. Y. Express very
properly remarks that "farther comment is un-
necessary. But it should be remarked that
Congress gave nothing for Notifications, though
I
ing for internal improvements, to bring out the
resources of the country, though the President
asked 81, 155,778. Much of the money Con-
gress gave was wanted in the Indian Depart
ment, and otherwise,-Ahens Messenger.

you will begin to feel sense Of tightness and
oppression across the chest accompanied with
frequent sharp darting pains. Then dry
hacking cough will set in, and when you raise
anything 1t will be thick and yellowish, or
white trothy matter, streaked perhaps with
blood. If you still take no medicine, these un-
pleasant symptoms will increase, and you will
soon have hectic fever, cold chils, night sweats.
