STEAMBOAT DISASTERS ON THE WESTERN
RrvER.-Few persons are aware of the great
number Of steamboat disasters that occur on
the western rivers, and the immense amount
Of property destroyed. The number Of casual
ties for the last six months exceeds anything
of the kind on record. We have condensed
the following from statement occupying three
columns Of the st. Louis Republican;
ain January there we're as many accidents
as there are days in the month. Eighteen
steamers we're lost, and twelve injured more or
less. The destruction Of property, including
boats and cargo, involved loss Of upwards Of
half million Of dollars. Nineteen persons
lost their lives. In February twelve steamers
and four barges we're destroyed; total loss
amounting to $l,000,000. About eighty lives
were lost In March twelve steamers we're
lost, valued with the cargoes, at S250,00O.
One hundred and twenty persons persisted.
During the three succeeding months we have
overweight steamers reported as being totally
destroyed, the value Of which, with the cargoes,
is estimated at half a million. About thirty
lives we're lost.
$50 that for the last six months there we're
seventy steamers sunk, or destroyed by fire,
besides upwards OF one hundred and fifty
barces, coal boats, &C., valued at $2,000,000
The loss Of life is estimated at two hundred
and fifty souls, though in many instances the
exact number lost by these accidents in uuat
tainabe."

How TO WINTER One HUNDRED SHEEP FROM
Two ACRES OF LAND-We have been accused
Of inducing planters to try visionary expert
ments. We hardly know what meaning those
who use the word visionary would put to it in
this connection, nor do we care. We have faith
in the following project of producing fodder
enough on two acres of land to winter one
hundred sheep. But, says Mr. Doubtful, it
must be made very rich. Of course it must.
That won't hurt the land in the least But how
will you do it? In the first place, make the
land very rich. Manure it generously plough
it thoroughly, harrow it fine, roll it smooth,
put on the marker and mark it into rows three
feet apart, and SOW Indian corn in drills. Hoe
it twice, and after the second hoeing take your
seed-sower and SOW between each two rows OF
corn row of fiat turnipseed. After your
corn has spindled cut It up; let it wilt, then tie
it up in bundles and shock itup as you do corn
stalks which you have cut in the usual way, and
let them stand until dry. 1t would not be
strange if you had six tons of fodder per acre
when they we're sufficiently dry to put into the
barn. This will be twelve tons, from two
acres1 Now TO winter one hundred sheep,
YOU ought to have twenty tons OF fodder. You
have got twelve Of them and want eight more,
or four tons from each acre. The turnips ought
to produe this amount. Let US see. Allowing
a bushel of turnips to weigh 60 pounds-in
order to have four tons on an acre you should
raise 1881 bushels. Will not your land pro-
duee this amount after taking away the Indian
corn crop?
SO you will have your twenty tons of food
from two acres. But will sheep eat the corn
stalks? Yes, we have tried that. Just run
the stalks through straw cutter and feed them
out TO the sheep, and they will eat them all up.
We have tried it, and several others have tried
it. Then run your turnips through vegetable
cutter, and they will ed them all up clean;
The sheep should be young and hearty, and
have good teeth. Who will try the experiment
this year? We are bound to, for one.-Maine

SPIRITUALIsM Run MAD.-EXTRA0RDINARY
MACHINE BY A Spirit RAPPER--The reyela-
tons of spiritualism have hitherto been OF an
amusing character; but from a statement
which appears In the NeC Era, the organ OF
the rappers, it would seem as If the followers of
this new ism are pushing their angelic theories
to the widest verge of blasphemy and obsce-
nifty. In late number Of the "organ," we are
favored with long editorial article about what
is called the electrical Meteor" or Anew Sa-
vior." The Era speaks Of its deep satisfaction
that the world is, by-and-bye, to be blessed be.
yond conception by this physical savior, through
whose instrunentality permanent material
basis shall be laid for true spiritual salvation.
The new Savior" is machine which has been
constructed at Linn, Mass, by the spiritualists,
which they claim TO be semi-mechanical and
semi-human. 1t has been denominated New
Motive Power and cost $4,000 to construct
it. The Nep Era remarks that the Electric
Motor is an exact correspondence OF the human
body, at least so far as involuntary motion is
concerned. 1t was constructed under spirit
direction, and chiefly at the Rev. Mr.. Spears
expense. This done, the next thing was to put
life in it, which brings us to the most extraor-
binary part Of the business. How life was i'm
parted to the machine, by Mrs. -, we
will not disgust our readers by detailing
Ifanything more is needed Of the last ema-
nation Of crazyism, it is found in the assertion
that the machine began to have life Or pusa-
ton, which increased under process precisely
analogous to that Of nursing! Angelic intel
LICENCES have of course attended her, to explain
these mysteries. Spear and his fellow-fools do
not pretend to understand what the ultimate
designs of the intelligences are.
To cap the climax Of absurdity, we have the
following statement:
"In the Nec Era of July 9Th, we find a
vision had by j. W6lcott, which develops what
is expected to be accomplished by this ma
chine. 1t appeared to grow in size, and threw
off from itself small machines after its own
pattern and those lin turn threw off multi
tude of other little ones" Then he says
"Next there appeared movement among
the machines and the large ones, which were
now fully developed, moved away over the
plain into the distance. In their path stood q
great number of churches, of every size and
variety, from the diminutive Methodist chapel
up to the stately Gothic Minister and st. Paups
cathedral. But the machines did not turn out
of their course at all, running over and through
those temples, completely demolished them to
heaps Of worthless rubbish"

THE RESOURCES OF New JERsEY.-The iron
ore of this State has attained worldwide
celebrity, and is acknowledged to be the best
in many respects, that has been discovered
The geological survey, which has recently been
commenced, will undoubtedly reveal many
resources Of equal excellence. A very valua
bic deposit as we announced few days since,
has already been found in Sussex county, and
rich marls probably exist throughout the State.
In the iron and zinc regions new minerals will
perhaps be developed, and possibly other met
ais discovered, which will be the means Of en-
ployment and wealth to many.
About a year and half since, some persons
in searching at West Milford, Passaic county,
for iron, came across bed Of clay, with the
nature Of which they we're unacquainted. I'M
i'll recently it has not been improved, on &C
count Of ignorance of its value; but scientific
investigation has revealed the fact that it is
kaolin, an exceedingly valuable porcelain clay,
which is quite scarce. IL can be used in the
manufacture Of porcelain ware, tiles, fire brick,
the glazing Of cards, soap, paint, &c. The
deposit at West Milford is of the purest kind;
it is of various colors, white, red, chocolate,
and others.
The porcelain manufactured from it will be
equal. il is thought, to the best French. The
deposit Is large, anu COMPANY v, NaPi'"i'o's
| Is about TO be formed under the name Of
"Mackapin Kaolin Company to work it. SINH.
| lar deposits exist in japan, China, Saxony,
| France, England, one at Amboy, discovered
by the former geological survey, and one Of an
inferior kind near Philadelphia. The compo-
sition Of the clay is aluniina and silica, and II
is generally formed from disintegrated granite
Many gratifying results, similar to this, will
certainly be accomplished by thorough explo
ration OF the resources of our State.
