ACCIDENT IN THE LAcHINE RAPIDs.-It will
take from the Montreal Gazette, of Saturday
that one of the American steamers, the Jenny
Lind, struck a rock on passing the Lachine
rapids. Those who have passed those fear
ful rapids can easily imagine the feelings of
the passengers who were on board during the
night of peril,
AccIDENT.-We understand that some
what serious accident happened to the Jenny
Lind steamer belonging to the American
Line on Wednesday afternoon last in des-
cending a Lachine rapids. The vessel was
heavily freighted, and it will be recollecteda a
heavy gale prevailed. In passing the last
pitch OF the rapids, it is supposed that
heavy gust of wind caused her to swerve from
the channel, when she struck with great vio-
lence on a rock. So violent was the concus-
sion, that that though the stroke was in the
after part of the vessel, one of the beams sup
porting the pavilion deck IN the bow, was
shivered into three pieces.
As can be easily imagined the consterna-
ton of all on board was very great. Captain
Noodle, Immediately steered for shoal water
and grounded the bow on shoal, in five feet
water, The engine and hand pumps were
was found impossible to keep it from gaining
The accident happened about five in the after
noon, and about two O'Clock at night the
stern sank in l2 feet water. The anchor had
been previously cast forward and the heavier
portion of the cargo removed to the bow, but
owing to the heavy gale, the vessel rocked
very much and was much strained.
As may be imagined, the passengers, of
whom there were considerable number,
anxiously " waited for the morning Some
three miles from land, on a steamer sunk in
the Lachne Rapids, and with heavy gale
prevailing their position was anything but
pleasant and the appearance of the Prince
Albert, about o. clock on Thursday morning,
was welcomed with unfeigned satisfaction
To the presence of mind and decision of the
commander in steering for shoal water 1t ia
owing, that very serious consequences did not
ensue.

Feeding straw TO Cattle, & c .

MEssRs. EDITORS great scarcity Of
fodder the past winter, and the loss and suf-
fering occasioned by it, ought to serve as a
caution TO farmers against the unnecessary
waste of their straw. consider the practice
of using straw for bedding, bad one, espe-
cially where leaves or saw-dust can be oh
tained. The amount Of straw used for bed
ding COW, if fed properly with three or four
ears of corn day, would carry her hand
somely through the winter. Good bright
straw is about as palatable, and nearly as nu
tritious as hay. Then why waste it, by
throwing il under their feet w-dust, or
leaves from the forest, is better than straw
for bedding and they absorb the liquids bet
ter, and add more to the stock of manure.
Another argument for feeding instead Of
wasting straw, especially in this section of
the country, is, that it is becoming very COM
mon for cows TO slink their calves during the
winter, and it is generally believed TO be
caused by the smut on the June grass, which
is getting into nearly all the meadows in this
part of the country have known Of many
large dairies nearly ruined in this way. Only
one instance of this kind has ever happened
in my dairy, and that was when | was feed
ing hay only. If we keep our stables warm,
dry and clean, and use the currycomb freely.
our stock will do we'll enough without bed
ding.
To prepare my corn for feeding, FIJI a cask
with it, in the ear, pour on boiling water,
and let it stand "a hours, when it will be
soft, and easy of digestion but it has occur
red to me, that an apparatus might be corr
structed for steaming corn, which would he
still better. l would like to get, through
the Cultivate some information on this sub

that it viii he, this day ends the era of COM

pledge Of the men it sends to Washington
that their first and last vote there shall be

C"itet States will do, if they have retained
the sirrit of their founders. If not, then

bcred Such gigantic conlederacy of crime
as 1t must otherwise become, never existed
elsewhere, cannot exist here, and ought not

the bill, flushed with success, already an
nounce new schemes. They will send mer-
cenarv Governments to the Territories to
establish Slavery there, if haply the will of
the settlers should oppose it. They count
upon the Slave State of Kansas within the
next Congress, and the Slave State of Nebras-
ka before the next Presidential election. They
are planning an unprovokcd and uniustifiable
war for the sole purpose of forming Slave
States Of Cuba. They will send emIssaries to
Texas and New Mexico with instructions to
form Slave States there They will demand
as the natural consequence of the recognition
Of Slave property in all the Territories, the
recognition Of it in all the States. They be-
lievc that popular discomfort with this bill
will die out before November, and they know
that if it does, not only Office and power, but
the whole future policy and destiny of the
country will be in the hands of Shareholders
and their tools.
This is the struggle before us. 1t is fraught
with results of momentous consequence
From the tone and temper Of the people, we
have everything to hope. From the unbri-
died folly and INSCRIPTIONS power Of party
leaders, we have everything to fear. Be-
lieying as we do, that the purposes of Eternal
Justice are not to be cast down by men s
hands, we have no fear Of the ultimate tri-
umph of Right. But whether that triumph
shall be slow or speedy, whether it shall come
IN our day, or be postponed until the Nation
itself shall be consumed by the disease that
is beginning to gnaw at its vitals-is for the
decision of the Freemen, North and South, of
the Union.

THE CURcuLio-A SUCCESSFUL REMEpr
Mr.. Charles Jewett. of Niles, Michigan, writes
to the New York Evening Post the following
successful remedy against the curcullo
A neighbo''s p'ums were destroyed for five
or six years by the curculio. Last spring,
when in blossom, he dug the earth from the
body, and out as far as the branches extended.
The dirt taken out was covered over deep
away from the trees. The space excavated
from the roots WAS supplied 10 the depth of
four Inches with leached ashes. A bucket
OF weak lye was sprinkled over the ashes, un-
der each tree, for five or six weeks, once
week. Result, no damage from the insects, and
full crop of fruit. Another used the above
remedy also made mush of grease, lime and
snuff, and rubbed over the body and far out on
the limbs of the trees. This one had good
crop Of plums.
TANNERS BARK is now understood to be
capaly adapted to the strawberry spread 1t
completely over the soil /; it will keep the fruit
clean and the soil moist. This is the true null
ching for the strawberry. There is no doubt
of this.
MILpEw AND Goo.EBERRrEs.-Samuel Ed.
wards, Of La Mobile ILL.,, states that for sever.
al years his Gooseberry bushes were effected
by mildew. Last year he gave them 4 very
severe pruning, muched with coarse hay, top
dressed the soil with we'll rotted barn yard ma
nure, salt and leached ashes, and he has no
mildew.
GRATING PEARS on MoUNrAIs AsH.-A
correspondent Of the Maine Farmer saws, that
five years ago he grated several Bartlett pears
on Mountain Ash stocks. Last year one Of
them bore very full, more so than is usual on
pear stocks. The flavor of the pear is excel
lent, and not at all changed by the stock.
PROFIT OF KEEPING SHEEP.-It has been
frequently demonstrated that farm which
will support four or six cattle will support forty
to fifty sheep at the same time, with very little
increase Of labor, when the horned cattle could
not be increased with any profit.

The Press on Nebraska.

We give below specimens Of the sentiments
which the passage of the Nebraska bill is
calling forth from leading journals.
from the Commercial Advertiser. (Whig).l
The COMPACT NIoLATED.-The Nebraska
Kansas bill has passed the House of Repre-
scntatives by vote of lib to 100. The
Senate will concur in theamcndment striking
out the Clayton clause. The President will
sign it, and the bill will become a law.
The manner Of eflecting this was worthy of
the deed. By resort to a parliamentary
trick, of very doubtful character to say the
least, the minority were ahut out from
making any amendments to the bill, the pre-
,ious question was applied, and the minority
only thirteen numerically less than the maio-
rity, were prohibited from taking any fur
ther part in legislation upon the measure
than simply recording their dissent. The
example of tyranny by bare majority thus
set. it may be hereafter resorted to when
motions to restrict Slavery come up in Con-
grcss, as they probably will at future ses-
sion.
But the deed is done. The wrong to the
North is cOnsummated. a solemn compact
is violated. The South having pledged itself
that Slavery should never cross certain line
of latitude of Missouri was admitted into the
Union asa Slave State, has broken its pledge.
Territory, by Il solemn engagement set aside
for freedom, is given up to Slavery, and
worse than all, the Compromise measures of
1850, which the Slaveholding States insisted
should be final, so far as they related to
Slavery, and should be religiously observed
in the spirit as well as in the letter, and in
which Compromises and understanding the
North had acquesced for the sake of peace,
have been abused and perverted to purpose
that neither of the parties to those measures
ever intended or contemplated. In this res
pect, the passage of the Nebraska bill will
work incalculable injury to the South, and
as we have more than once said, was the most
unwise thing which the South could have.
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1854-06-02

The crime is committed. The work of Mon
ROE, and MADISON and JEFFERSON is undone.
The wall they erected to guard the domain of
Liberty, is flung down by the hand of an
American Congress, and Slavery crawls, like
a simy reptile, over the ruins, to defile
second Eden
They tell us that the North will not sub
nit We hope it will not But we have seen
this same North crouch lower and lower each
year under the whip of the slave driver. until
it is hard to tell what it will not submit to
now. Who, seven years ago, would not have
derided n prophecy that Congress could en-
act the kidnapping of free citizens, without
Judge OF Jury Who would have believed
that it could enact that white men have n
right to hold hack men in slavery wherever it
is their sovereign will and pleasure And yet,
who now will deny that that prophecy Is more
than realized
IL was fitting that the law should he pass
cd as it was, II was in accordance with its
spiritthat il shoul be conceived in trelchery,
sprung upon the House by a fraud. and forced
through It by parliamentary lie, 1t was APP
propriate that one member should he bribcd
and another hullied, and other bought, until
the ranks of Slavery were full. Had Law, or
Order, or Honesty had aught to do with its
passage, there would have been a strange in
congruity between the means aud the end.
We cannot read the future. We cannot
predict what wi | DO tne consequences Of this
last and most fatal blow To Iih"ry. Bat we
can see what the laty of frccmcn is, and We
mean it shall he through no fault of ours If il

WAsHINGroN, May -.

hSHlNbION' may IJ'
The Nebraska debate is prosecuted in the
House with surprising vgor and great ability.
Mike Walsh has just finished his speech and
he commanded a great deal of attention. lie
stated fact of some importance, not gcncr-
ally known to the House, that the New York
Hards had at one time agreed in body, to
support Mr.. Douglas bill, and not that only,
but to agree to a specific reputation of the
Missouri compromise. But subsequently they
found that the Administration anticipating,
or being aware of their movement, played the
same game themselves.
No triumph could be obtained by the IIards
over the Administration in this move, and the
Hards, for the most part, became Indifferent
to the Nebraska bill. But Mr.. Walsh not
caring a straw as to the course of the Admin
istration, goes for the bill IN spite of their
support of it. The Hards expected, it seems,
originally, to rally around them the whole
body of the Southern members and most of
the Western Democrats, and to be in a ma
jority against the Administration. The Ne
braska bill was the instrument relied upon at
one time, for gaining this position. But the
movement of the Administration, in shooting
ahead of Douglas, and even of the South, con-
fused their scheme, and in fact, put them in
an embarrassing situation with regard to the
Southern and Western Democrats, whose ap-
pause and confidence they have every right
to claim. They no sooner began to wayer
and hesitate on the Nebraska question than
an order was given to shoot them down
metaphorically, of course-as deserters.-
Hence it was that Mr. Breckenridge, the
leader of the Administration party, made a
fierce and bitter onset on Mr.. Cutting, which
was intended to be significant of the fact that
the Administration was strong enough to do
without them.
We do not now know that the Hards, ex-
cept Messss. Walsh and Wheeler, will vote
for the bill They probably will not, and the
Administration would prefer their spposi-
tion to their support on this question. Po-
litical trickery originated the measure, and
ensured it's adoption, whether with or with
out the. support of the Hards.-Co' Com.

She pays taxes on $4,000 of real estate and
Sl,l0J personal property, and owns banking
and railroad stock to the amount Of something
like $4,000. In the street, her appearance is
well calculated to excite commiseration. In
deed, some kind-he,rted individual few days
ago, offered her one cent as a gratuny. The in
suit, however, was resented, as became her in
suited honor. Diminutive in stature and de-
