SUB-SoIL PLoUGH1SG.-A striking instance
of the value of sub. soil ploughing, as means
of counteracting the effects of prolonged
drouth, has come under our notice in this
country. DR.. Cheatham, superintendent of
Tennessee Asylum for the insane, and who is
an excellent farmer MS well as an excellent
physician, sub-soiIed portion of his corn
ground on the farm attached to the Asylum,
and the result is good average crop of corn,
despite of the drouth- the best, the neigh
bors say, they have ever seen on the place.
The soil has been long cultivated, and is much
filled. So much for deep pIoughing its
advantages are nearly as great in excessively
wet as in excessively dry seasons.- Nash

RAILRoADs.-The following paragraph from
the New York Mirror, contains some whole
some advice:
"Much is said and written of reckless trav-
cling in the United States; and when an ac-
cident occurs, great Indignation is aroused
against the proprietOrs, directors and conduc-
tors of steamboats, and railroads. The pub
lie complain of too great speed and too little
caution; but we are inclined to think that the
greater blame in nearly all these shocking
disasters, rests with the public itself. In the
first place, the public wants to travel too fast;
and in the second place, it insists on travelling
too cheap. No Railroad Company can afford
to carry passengers at less than two cents n
mile, and carry them safely. This crOwding
down the rates, and at the same time crowd
ing on the speed, is not only the chief cause
of railroad caIamites, but also of railroad
failures The wear and tear of machinery,
everybody knows, is in proportion to the We
locity at which it runs; and the danger of
bursting boilers and breaking wheels is in a
still greater ratio to The speed obtained. We
have travelled in the United States, by steam
boat and railroad, over eight thousand miles,
since the month of May last; and although
We have been so fortunate us not to encoun-
ter The slightest accident, yet we have often
seen car-,oheeLS on fire, occasioned by exccs-
sve speed. And it is n we'll known fact that
steamboats,, especially upon the Western Riv-
ers, are often set on fire by racing with. their
competitors. The remedy of these evils; as
we have minated, lies with The travelling
public. 1t is too late after the disaster has
occurred and human life is sacrificed to rave
about the reckIessness Of engineers. The
check must be imposed before the mischief is
done. Steamboat racing should be prohibit
ed by law and railroad travel should be re-
stricted BY statute. Then let the companies
raise their rates and sIacken speed, and we
shall hear of fewer horrible catastrophes, and
of fewer railroad embarrassments. Most men
would rather pay SO to be taken safely to
Albany, than half that sum to be smashed up
on the way"

CAUSES FOR DIvoRcE.-The New York
Express has some comments upon new
cause for divorce:
"The inability to make bread has been de-
clared sufficient grounds for divorce, by the
Jones county Agricultural Society of Iowa.
Husband and wife, by DEGREES of Courts and
acts of Legislatures, have been separated for
life on grounds less reasonable. But, sup
pose the Courts to decide that an inability to
make bread, should be good reason for sep
arating man and wife, what would become of

RAISING HoUsEs.--A letter from San Fran
cisco says:
"They are now grading the streets of the
city, filling in some and cutting down Others.
When the former process is being done. it
becomes necessary TO raise the houses. You
have heard Of moving houses entire, but here
we lift them up BY hydraulic pressure. Whole
piles of brick buildings are being raised in
this mode, where the streets have been filled
up, and thus the lower floors are brought up
to the new level Of the streets. Last week, n
warehouse belonging to AIsop g. Co, fifty
feet front and seventy feet deep, having three
stories and u basement, heavy brick build
ing, was raised five feet, and then under-buit
with stone, all without moving out, or even
disturbing the clerks with their pens at the
desks. Another store, not quite so large, but
having in it two thousand ions of hardware,
was raised in six days, and new story added
to it al the bottom.

A GALLANT CoMBATANr-The Constan-
tinopIe correspondent of the London Times
gives the following account of the last strug-
gle of Lieut.. Burke, who fell at Giurgevo:
Mr. Burkes body was found after the ac-
ton in which he lost his lite, with no less
than 33 wounds upon it. The Russians had
taken his sword belt, but his sword was found
hidden in some long grass close to the corpse.
The ring finger of both hands was cut off,
He was seen bv The sapper who went with
him, fighting desperately to the last, though
surrounded by horde of Russians. When
he first Ieapt on shore from the boat six SOL
ders charged him. Two he shot dead with
his revolver one he cut down with his sword
the rest turned and fled. While he was
encouraging the Turks, who were in the
stream, to row quietly to the land, and form
ing them il lines as they landed, conspicuous
rs he was in full uniform and by his white
cap cover, number of rifiemen advanced from
behind ditch, and took deliberate aim at
him. Poor Burke charged them with head
! long gaIlantry. As he got near he was struck
by ball, which broke his jaw-bone, but he
rushed on, shot three men dead at close
quarters with his revolver, and cleft two men
through helmet and all into the brain. He
was then surrounded, and while engaged in
cutting his way with heroic courage through
the ranks Of the enemy, a sabre cut from be-
hind, given by dragoon as he went by near
~ severed his head from his body, and he fell
dead, covered with bayonet wounds, sabre
gashes, and marked with lance thrusts and
bullet holes. The sapper who was with him
stood by Mr.. Burke to the last, but could not
save him. He is now only recovering from
| his wounds and the effect of his eXertions.
