Prospectus of the Wvandot pioneer.

In view of the rapidly improving condition Of
the county of Wyandot and town of Upper
Sandusky, and for other reasons not neces-
sary to mentioned, have purchased new
press, type and other printing material for the
enlargement of the PIONEER. 1t is my intention
to attempt to get up as large aud neat paper
as any one printed in any of the adjoining eoun-
ties; and in so doing, shall have to look to the
citizens of the county for the support necessary
for its continuance. The liberality of the peo-
pie will therefore, determine the success and pub
ication of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man interested in the future growth
and prosperity of Wyandot county will freely
lend his aid in securing subscribers.
The PIONEER, in politics, will be Democratic
and at the same time, claim nothing for itself
that will not be extended to others. While the
editor has his PECULIAR NOTIONS of political and
other matters, he believes that other men have
alike privileges to their opinions. Although
may publish political paper, it must and will
be free from ALL FACTIONS, and controlled alone
by the editor When say this, it is not my in
tention to say that the advice Of friends will not
be received for SHALL at all times be pleased to
counsel with my friends upon all matters per-
tanning to the best interests of county and the
publication of the paper. If however, might
differ with others in opinion, that difference can
alone be changed by a full conviction of my
error.
The FARMER shall not be neglected, as good
" portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
interests. A gentleman of ability, has kindly
consented to aid me in this department of the
paper, and with his aid, I hope to be able toren-
der the country subscribers, good service.
The mechanic and laborer will always find
the columns of this paper open for the defence
of their rights and the advancement of their
prosperity. In fact all classes will find our pa
per ready to vIndicate every thing calculated to
promote the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der.
With this exposition of what the Pioneer will
be, I ask every gentleman, who can, to come up
and subscribe, and get as many more as he can
to do likewise. The prosperity of every town
and country depends more or less upon the pa
per of the county and that the paper may be
what it ought to be, let it have a good living
support.
JoB OFF1cE.-The selection of job type in the
Pioneer Office being large job work of every de-
scription will be neatly and expeditiously execu-
ted, at low prices.
The following rules and charges will in every
particular be strictly observed, and it would
therefore be well for subscribers to observe these
rules:

Keeping Eggs.

Our correspondent G. d., of Butternuts,
N. Y, objects to our theory respecting the
non-adheson of the yolk to the small end
of the egg, when that end is placed down
ward. He remarks, 81 do not know what
kind of eggsJtay dollar hens may lay; but
/ do know thatin eggs laid by common
hens, the air-bubble is in Tie other end"
We of course admit what every oneknows,
that when the contents are discharged
from the shell, vacancy between the shell
and the skin at the large end is very visi-
BILE; but this does not prevent the adhesion
of the yolk to that part when the large end
is placed downwards, and the consequent
destruction of the value of the egg
Whether the smaller air bubble at the 9TH
er end, or some other cause, prevents the
adhesion to that end, we shall not argue;
but the fact that the egg keeps well when
the small end is down, and that it does not
when placed in other positions, is what we
have to do with in practice, and to which
we wished particularly to call the atten
ton ofour egg keeping readers Country

How to Mend a Chain Pump.


Chain pumps arc very much in use at
piesent. They are very good pumps, es-
pecially in wells that are not protected
much from the frost, as they seldom get
frozen SO as TO prevent their operating, un-
less the water in the well itself freezes
Sometimes, however, the chain breaks or
parts, and then it has been thought neces-
sary to take up the whole pump in order
to mend and replace it. A friend told us
the other day, method which he has a
dopted in such cases with perfect success.
The chain with its plugs, you know, is an
endless one, going over pulley at the top,
down outside the pump into the water in
the well; then over pulley under the wa
ter at the lower end of the pump tube,
thence up the tube. Now if the chain
parts, it is difficult getting one end over
the lower pulley and up to the other side
unless you take up the pump to do it.
Take strong string of sufficient length
to reach from the bottom of the lower pull
ley to the surface of the water in the well:
tie a cork to one end of it and tie the other
end to the chain. Then winding the string
round the cork, put it into the tube, and
let the chain follow it down. AS soon as
it gets down under the pulley, the cork
will rise to the top of the water in the well,
from which it may be hooked up. The
chain will be hauled up with the string,
and the two ends may then be fastened
together in the usual way.-Maine Far

Dry Sc1oNs.-Scions that have become
dry, (not injured by water, may be buri-
ed in ordinary garden soil one or two
weeks, and become perfect-which if in
serted without may be worthless. This is
also the true mode of treating young trees
from dry transportation. Bury the srhole
tree one or two weeks before planting, and
a healthy, vigorous growth is obtained,
instead of sickly and slow Once.

To KEEP P1cKLEs.--Keep pickles only
in wood or stone-ware. Anything that
has held grease will spoil pickles. Stir
them occasionally, and if there are soft
ones, take them out and seald the vinegar
and pour it hot over the pickles that are
in solid state. Always keep enough
vinegar on them to cover them we'll Ifit
is weak take fresh vinegar and pour it on
hot. Do not boil vinegar and spice over
fire minutes.-Ee.

POLISHING PLows.-Iti is sometimes de-
sirsble to- remove the rust from mould
boards, &c. This may be easily done by
moistening the surface with a little dilute
muriatic acid. Sulphuric acid is frequent
ly recommended for this purpose, but it
not only dissolves the rust, (oxide ofiron
but also the iron, ,!and should not, therefore
be employed, unless the plow is run
through the soil Immediately after its ap-
plication. The same remarks apply, not
only to plows, but to all iron implements,
tools, &c.--Rwal ~ Yorker.

Cutting scions.

After tree becomes dormant and the
leaf falls in October, scions may be cut at
any time before the buds again start, which
here for seeded fruits is about the last of
March or i'll April. In fact there is no diff
ference in time, SO far as relates to the
value of the scions-the only trouble is to
keep them. This may be done for six
months or six years, and have them per-
feet. Scions cut in the fall may be buried
in any dry soil in the orchard or garden
until wanted for USE When one is col
lecting them during tie winter, the best
way is to select some place where snow
will not be affected by thaw, and bury
them in snow as received, taking them out
where the snow begins tomeltin the spring,
and transferring them to the ice-housc or
cellar.
When one cuts scions on his own pre-
mises for use or distribution, the best time
here is generally the last Of March or ear
ly in April, as they are then as dormant as
in the winter, and take less time and trou-
BILE to keep them.

KEEPING Sc1oNs.-The only secret is to
keep them cool and d mp; not wet. The
best course have ever tried is to lay them
on brick floor in cool cellar, and cover
with thick, damp sacking--if the sacking
becomes dry, sprinkle it. In this manner
they are kept in perfect order from March
until June, and easily taken as wanted.
Many plans are recommended, some trou-
blesome, and others unsafe. [ once had
more than 5000 packed in damp pine
saw w-dust in warm cellar, and though ap-
parently in perfect order, they became
worthless.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-A Paris cores
pondent OF the Times mentions the follow
ing remarkable discovery:
A very remarkable discovery was an
nounced to the Academy of Sciences by
M. Dumas in its last sitting. He stated
that NJ. Saint Clair Deville had succeeded
in obtaining from clay a metal as white
and brilliant as silver, as malleable as gold,
and as light as glass. 1t is fusible at a
moderate temperature. Air and damp dc
not affect this metal, which is called alu-
mlnium; it retains its brilliancy, and is not
affected by nitric or salphuric acid, either
strong or diluted, if the temperature be
not raised. tbs only dissolved by very
hot chlorhydric acid. Several specimens
Of this metal were exhibited to the Acade.
my, and on the proposition of Baron The
nard, it was voted unanimously that suf
fcient sum should be placed at the dispo
sal of M. Saint Clair Deville to enable hin
to make experiments on large scale.

An Editor ON Snow Shoes.

J. V. Brown, Esq, Editor of the Lake
Superior Journal, reached Detroit from
Saut Ste Marie, on the 4th Mr.. Brown
left the Saut on the 153h ult The Detroit
1fi5une says:
He travelled the entire length of the
Georgian Bay, along the north shore of
Lake Huron, on snow shoes and dog trains,
and accomplished the trip, Of three or four
hundred miles, to Penetauguishene, in
twelve days; during which time there was
but one day mild enough to melt the snow
in the sum- The winter ia represented as
having been at times unusually severe at
the North. There is large body of snow
on the ground, and the ice everywhere
thick and strong. Mr. B., with his In
dian guide, came in company with the
mail carrier as far as La Cloche, from
which he came in advance of them. Sell
dom finding chance to sleep in house
camping out wherever the night over
took him-but Notwithstanding the hard
ships and exposure Of the trip, he seems
to be little affected by the journey.
We are glad to see that he is in excel
lent health, though bearing marks of the
fatigue he has endured during his long and
difficult journey.
Crazy People.
Miss Dix the philanthropist, states that
among the hundreds of crazy people with
whom her sacred missions have brought
her into companionship, she has not found
one individual, however fierce and turbu-
lent, that could not be calmed by Scripture
and prayer, uttered in low and gentle
tones. The power of religious sentiments
over those shattered souls seemed mirac-
ulous. The worship of quiet, loving
heart, affects them like a voice from Heav
en-. Tearing and rending, yelping, stamp
ing, singing and groaning, gradually sub
side into silence, and they fall on their
knees, or gaze upwards, with clasped
hands, as if they saw through the opening
darkness, golden CLEAN from their Faith
er's throne Of love.
