State Elections,

Through the Chicago papers OF yesterday
we learn that the States of New York.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois have fol-
lowed the excellent example given by To-
wa and made clean sweep Of Nebraska
ism. The returns are yet Of cour &c ndefi-
mite, but sufficient is ascertained to satisf v
every one Of the general result We can
not claim this expression of public senti-
ment strictly upon Wing grounds; but at
the same time as the principle contended
for is one advocated by that party, by what,
ever name the triumph may be known it is
equally acceptable to the Wing party Ac
customed to combat against party numer.
ically stronger and almost always to 90 t.
the wall, our Democratic readers will for,
give US if we should indulge in little un
wonted hllarity-after we get entirely sou
Of the woods."

Hoes LARD.-It is said that one estab-
lishment in Cincinnati tried out, last year,
thirty thousand hogs. To carry on this
enormous business, they have seven large
circular tanks. OF sufficient capacity to hold
ten thousand gallons each. They receive
the entire carcass, with the reception of the
hams, and be whole is subjected to steam
process, under a pressure of seventy pounds
to the square inch, the effect of which ope-
ration is to reduce the whole to one CON
sistence, and every bone to powder The
fat is drawn off by cocks, and the residum,
a mere earthly substance, as far as made use
of, is taken away for manure. Besides the
hogs which reach the factory in entire car
cases, the great mass OF heads, ribs, backs
bones, tail pieces, feet and other trimmings
of the hogs, cut up at different pork houses,
are subjected to the same process, in order
to extract every particle of grease. This
concern will turn out this season three mil
lion six thousand pounds OF lard, fye-slxths
Of which is No. l.. Nothing can surpass
the purity and beauty OF this lard which is
refined as we'll as made under steam pro-
cesses. Six hundred hogs per day pas
through these tanks one after another.

P.esny ton Of the Men al powe 5.

Faulty from old age cannot be cured );
but it may be prevented by employing the
mind constantly in reading and conversation
in the evening of life. Dr. Johnson as
crbes the faulty Of Dean Swift to two eau
SEES first to resolution made in his youth
| that he would never wear spectacles, from
the want of which he was unable to read in
the decline of life, and secondly, to his ava
rice, which led him to abscond from visitors,
deny himself to company, by which means
he deprived himself OF the only two metho S
by which new ideas are acquired. or old
ones renovated. His mind lnnguished for
want Of exercise. and gradually collapsed
into idotism, in hospital founded by him
sell, for persons afflicted with the same dis
order Of which he finally died.
Country people, when they have no rel
ish for books, when they lose the ability to
work, to 60 abroad from age or weakness,
are very apt to become fabulous especial
" as they are too often deserted by young
err branches of the families, in consequence
of which their minds become torpid from
the want Of society and conversation. Fa-
tuity is more rare in cities than in country
places, only because society and converse
ton can be had in them on more easy terms,
and it is less common among women than
men, only because their employments are
of such nature as to admit of their being
carried on by their fireside, and in a seden-
tary posture.
The illustrious Dr.. Franklin exhibited
striking instance Of the influence Of reading,
writing and conversation, in prolonging a
sound and active state Of all the faculties of
the mind. In his eighty fourth year he dis
covered no one mark in any Of them, the
weakness of decay usually observed in the
mind Of persons at that advanced period of
lie. -Docior Rush.

He was about five feet high,had on black

THANKSGIVING Day

As his excellency, Gov. Hampstead, from
recent events in Iowa cannot see any par
ticular reason for gratitude, and therefore
the entire State be debarred from the ob.
serVance Of time honored custom, we
would suggest to the press and the people
generally, that we observe the Both inst. as
a Gay Of general thanksgiving and praye r

THE POWER OF THE Pass. n. Y.
press started a runor the other day, that
the oysters this season were poisonous,
whereupon the counters of eating houses,
customarily crowded with applicants for the
bi-valves in the various forms of stewed,
roasted, fried and raw, became as deserted
as churchyards. Since the press have re-
moved the embargo by declaring them not
prejudiciai to health, the counters have once
more become lined with customers.

Mr.. Brooman of London, has invented a
method of preparing wrought IRON SO that
it may be poured or cast into moulls for the
production of malleable castings, such as
railway wheels, and other articles. Scrap
or wrough, iron may be employed, or bars
or plates cut into small pieces, and must
be melted into crucibles such as are used
for melting blister steel. TO charge sui
table in amount to the crueble, one-half of
one per cent. of charcoal by weight, one
per cent OF Manganese and one OF sal am
monia is added. The whole is covered from
the atmosphere. and melted in tempera-
ture of about 1900 degrees Farenheit, which
temperature is maintained for two hours. -
The metal is then poured into moulds.-
Other carbonaceous matter may be substi-
tuted for charcoal The iron thus cast will !.
it is said, be maleable, and may be treated
under the hammer in the forge, and formed
into other shapes, and thus also part OF the
iron may be shaped in moulds, and part
completed by forging, so as 70 produce IN
trinsic shapes and ornamental work.

We learn that the citizens Of Davenport,

Of Distributing Post Office, for the whole
of Iowa at that place. At present there
are two Distributing Offices in that State
