ALL NUTRIENT OF VEGETABLE ORIGIN
Nearly every one, high or low, up to a few
years age, has believed that there was diff
ference between the nutritiye parts of flesh.
meat and those of other substances. Inquiry
however, has shown concusively, that all nl-
triment whatever is ofvegetable origin. We
see for instance, that when we feed upon the
body Of the sheep, we do net gain anything
peculiar, but simply the vegetable princip es
of the food upon which the animal was fed
It was Liebig who first pointed out this fact.
He says that the ''carnivora, in consuming the
blood and flesh Of the graminivora, consume,
strictly speaking only the vegetable principle
which have served for the nutrition of the lat.
ter" 1t is Of great importance thus to have
proved that there is nothing peculiar in the
flesh ofanimals, for even kreatinine is not pc
culiar, as you have the same principle in tie a
and coffee, and it is TO this that these article.
owe their stimulating qualities.

The Rlloht az Rot a. Wbeof-W

The Blight, az Rot, IN Wheat-We
have already stated the fact that the wheat
crop of this section of the State has suffer
ed to certain extent from the blight
How great the damage will be, it is yet
difficult to tell with certainty. We see by
our exchanges that tie disease is very gen
eral throughout the State. The injury
viii, as far as we learn, amount to not less
than IS per cent. of the crop. It seems
to have been caused by the exclusively hot
weather previous to the late rains, and
while the berry was in Its milk, the sweet
juice fermenting and losing its vitality I'M
der the influence of the destructive warmth.
As every evil is not without an attend
ant and recompensing good. we learn that
the same weather brought forward other
grain-corn, oats and barley--to an aston
ishing luxuriance. II is hoped that their
increased yield will compensate for the loss

he was the distinguished American Sen

who had given adhesion 10 the Roman
Catholic Church, and had received the
benediction Of the Pope. T says that the
statement that the rlnor IN question re-
ferred to Hon. J. r. Chandler,of Philadel-

him, and that he opposes the 'sKnow Moth

Re The Farmers ia afsd |,

RgThe Farmers an sfaaaf us are
suffering from drouth, caused by the in
tensely, necessarily hot days and nights of
the last two OF three weeks. We had a
little shower ten days ago, but il. did not
affect the streams, and the earth has for
gotten it. Potatoes, except the very ear
ly planted, which are being dug, are quite
GENERALLY dried up, and Oats, unless very
early sown (which few were or could be.
because Of the wet backwardness Of the
ISpring) will be short and light. Corn, as
Iyet does very well; but another week of
such weather will tell upon it. Grass has
been hurried to maturity more rapidly, and
a great deal is now suffering and wasting
that should have been cut last week.
Fruit is generally cut off SO far as We nave
observed, though we understand that there
are Peaches in New-Jesey. Vines are
suffering badly from bugs and other in
sects; Turnips and Cabbage-Plants have
been good deal cut by the fly, On the
whole, the harvest prospects in this vicin-
! ity are not lattering, though good rain
would much improve them. We have
had clouds and signs Of rain for two days,
but not drop of the refreshing fluid
As we write (midnight) there is bare
hope that we may have some soon.-T New
