The FRIENDS" AT ST.. PErERsBURa.-Mr.
Surge and his associates reached St. Peters
burg in safety, and were well received by
Count Nesselrode. They were admitted to
an interview with the Gar as the representa-

audience, listened to the statements and the
arguments of the Friends, and protested ac.
qulescence in them. Indeed the Emperor by
procession is eminently pacific. He further
honored the friends by an especial introduce
duction to the Empress. A written memorial
was left with the Gar. The TYmrs has the

GRATING CLOTH.

From the Maine Farmer.
GRATING CLOTH.
DR.. HOLMES AS the grating of stone
fruit, but more especially cherries, should be
worked before the frost entirely leaves the
ground, would suggest to our friends who
have not heretofore given much attention to
the subject, that they practice saddle instead
of cleft Or split grating. | should also ad-
wise them to use grating cloth made accord
ing to the recipe below, instead of clay Or
wax, in which there is any tallow, hogs lard,
grease, Or animal oil, in its composition,
The following is the best recipe ever used,
and it is used generally here -
Rs lbs. Beeswax;
lb. or IL ID. Rosin;
| pint Linseed Oil.
The above are the proportions. Melt the
ingredients together over a slow fire, and
spread the wax, while warm, on cotton cloth.
Gut the waxed cloth into strips half an inch
wide and from nine to twelve inches long, &C.
cording to the size Of the stocks. Any kind
of grease; lard, or animal oil Injuries not on
y the scion but also the tree itself.
You are aware that, by cleft grating, the
wood never becomes sound at the junction,
even if the tree grows until the diameter is
full eighteen inches. BY saddle grating, the
wood becomes perfectly sound the same sea-
son. Yours, respectfully,

A REASONING Fox.-A certain Jagare, who
was one morning keeping watch in the Forest
observed Il fox cautiously making his approach
towards the stump of an old tree. When suf-
fciently near. he took high and determined
jump on to the top of it; and after looking
around awhile, hoped to the ground again.
After Reynard had repeated this knightly ex-
ercise several times he went his way; but pre-
sently returned to the spot, bearing pretty
large and heavy piece of dry oak in his mouth !;
and thus burdened, and as it would seem for
the purpose Of testing his vaulting powers,h he
renewed his leaps on to the stump. After a
time, however, and when he found that weight
ed as he was, he could make the ascent with
facility, he desisted from further efforts dropped
the piece Of wood from his mouth, and coil
ing himself upon the top Of the stump, re-
NAMED motioness as il, dead. AT the ap-
proach of evening, an old SOW and her pro-
geny, five or six in number, issued from a
neigaboring thicket, and, pursuing their usu-
al track, passed near to the stump in question.
Two of her stockings followed somewhat be-
hind the rest, and just as they neared his am
bush, Michel, with the rapidity of thought,
darted down from his perch upon one Of them,
and in the twinkling of an.eyo bore it in tri-
umph on TO the fastness he had SO providen-
TALLY prepared beforehand. COMPOUNDED at
the shrieks of her offspring, the old SOW re-
turned in fury to the spot, and until late at
night, made repeated desperate attempts to
storm the murderer's stronghold; but the fox
took the matter very cooliy, and devoured the
pig under the very nose Of its mother; which
at length, with the greatest reluctance, and
without being able to revenge herself on her
crafty adversary, was forced to beat q retreat

24 AYERS
80: 80 PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF "A
FA MILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial Of its virtues has concusivey shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill but not essy
make the best of all pills = one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages Of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgativs
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than * unterbaance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciOusly. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicable gwen on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, We
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundce, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Listlessness, Irritabty, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for in truth, all these are but the
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Co.'S
hveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood in short, any
and every case where purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
lite and vgor They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted diseased energies Of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far.
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in Which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need OF a
cathartic medicine.

THE RED RIVER RAFT.

The last Congress appropriated one hun
dred Thousand dollars for the purpose of free
ing Red River Of the immense raft which has
destroyed its usefulness for the last fifty years.
p oyosals Tor carrying out the intentions of
Congress are in course of publication by the
Washington papers. The Red River Raft,
says the ", Y. Dut'hmdn, is an American
instruction. Niagara Of white oak timber
such as the whole world NIGH be challenged
for a comparison How long the raft has ex-
isted no one knows-probably for centuries.
1t keeps up its continuity as the Glaciers.
What floats awaJ in the summer is made up
in the treshets of November
The raf; is one hundred and two miles long
the whole made up of logs trees and food
wood, in all imaginable shapes and conditions
There is timber in roots, timber in branches,
timber it its head, timber on its side, and on
its knees; timber for plank, for boards, for
spars, Tor frewood, and for shllalah fights :;
timber Of oak, of hemlock, of cedar, of chest
nut AMI OF locust. The river is covered
with wood, filled with wood, sided with and
damned up with wood. We have already
said that the raft is one hundred and two
miles long. 1t is also in places a mile wide,
while its depth auctuates from five to fifteen
feet.
People who have given the subject an at.
tentive examination, estimate that there is flu.
ell enough in the Red River Raft to keep the
whole State of New York in frewood for a
century. For twenty years Congress has beer
endeavoring to remove this monstrous OBJ
struction, but with very little success
Since 1880, a dozen dredging machines and Q
score of tug-boats, have only made an ad
vance Of some ten miles. From what ha,
been done, we have come to the conclusion
that very little will ever be done. The Rec
River Raft is a fixture--a matter to be re
moved with as much swearing and as man,
difficulties, as the taking down of our grea
cataract. The appropriation made by Con
gfess will amount to nothing. 1t would tax,
two millions of dollars to make even a dem
onstration on this the largest piece of obsti
macy that the enterprise Of man has yet me
with.
