In the resplcndcncc Of that glorious sphere
And larger movements of the unfcttcrcd mind
Wilt thou forget the love that joined us here!
The love that lived through all the stormy past
And mcclsly wi h my harshcr nature bore,
And dccp,r grew, and tcnderer to the last,

CUnECcs FACTS ABOUT TIE PREsIDENTs.-'
says the New Orleans Picayunc. It's last cf-
fort in this line is the compilation of somt
curious corcilents noticeable in contcmplat-
ing tie ItHmes and lives Of the first seven
Presidents of tfe United States Washington,
John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
John Quincy Adams and Jackson. We quote
some of the most striking of these:
Four of the seven were from Virginia: two
of the same names were from Massachusetts,
and the seventh from Tennessee. All hut
one were sixty-tive years old on leaving Of
flee, having served two terms; and one of
these. who served but one term, would have
been Sixty-six years at the end of another
Three of the seven died on the fourth day Of
July, and two Of them on the same day and
ycar.-Two Of !hcm were on the sub-commit-
tee of three that drafted the Declaration of
Independence, and died just half century,
from the day of declaration The names of
three of the seven end in son, yet neither of
these transmitted his name to a sOn.-In re-
spcct to the names of all, it may he said in
conclusion the initials of two of the seven
were the s;une-and of two others that they
were the same and the initials of still two
were the same.-The remaining one who
stands alone in this particular. stands also
alone in the admiration and love of his coun-
trymcn and OF the civilized world-Washing
ton. OF the first five, onty one had a son,
and that sou was also President.

nrTuE BEST FEED FOR MILcu Cows.

UTnE BEST FEED FOR MILcH Cows
A correspondent of the Michigan Farmer rec
ommcnds the white fiat turnip as the best
for milch cows. He adds:-"Some perhaps,
will object to the turnip, because it will af-
feet the taste of the milk and butter So it
docs if fed raw; this can be avoided by boil
ing.-For each COW boil half a bushcl of tur-
nips soft; while hot add five or six quarts of
shorts, which will swell and you will get the
full worth oft. A mess like this fed to a COW
once day, will produce more milk of good
quality; than any other kind of feed at the
same cost. Turnips fed in this way do not
taint either the milk or the butter. One thing
in favor of turnips as fed for cows. is, they
can be sown in August, or as late as the first
of September. l sowcd some as late as Sep
tember last year, which were very fine
Turnips are also very profitable feed for pigs
when boiled in the same way as for cows.

HIcKoRIEs.-Can a hickory be successfully
transplantcd2 People have often enough tried
it, and genera lily said no. Being few days
ago in the garden Of Augustus Adams, ESQ.,,
of Elgin, we saw a large number of hickories
from three to seven feet high, which had been
transplantod successfully from the woods, or
rather the openings, and were growing vigor-
ously on their second summer. Mr.. Adams
stated that he had lost no more of them than
of any other tree. His plan is to dig down
until he gets tired of it, and then cut of the
tap root. lie never stops till he gets four
feet, and from that to six, and yet he states
that he never got so low as to find the tap
root as small as the tree at the surface of the
ground .--IPrairis Fame

ATTACK on LIQUOR S1rcPs BY WoME%.-The
kalamazoo (Mich.) Telegraph furnished
the particulars of descent made on the grog-
serics ofOswcgo, by the wo men Of that place,
in consequence of an insult oicrc ed by deal
or to a female whose drunken husband Wis
tied his house. The Telegraph says:
The woman of the village, to the lumber
of 3S, armed with axes and hatchets, formed
Il procession and marched upon the destroy
ers Of their domestic peace. Proceeding to
the hotel, they commenced a general demoli
ton Of dccanters, jugs, tumblcrs and barrels,
when the proprictors bescechng them to-
desist, came to terms, and gave bonds not TO
sell any more liquor for six months; after
which they quietly withdrew. They then
proceeded to several groceries where liquors
were sold. One of the keepers, after por-
ton of his stock had been destroyed, signed
the required bond. Another refused, when
they poured out his stock Of liquors, amidst
the greatest excitement. During the opera
ton the prof. rictor rudciy graspcd one the
females and hurled her back whcrcupon he
was seized and most thoroughly drcnch ed in
his own liquor He received several very
severe injuries. After having accomplished
this, the women quietly dispersed.

STATISTICS OF OLD AGE.-Thc census of
1850 shows us that the Oldest person then
living In the United States was 40. This
person was an Indian woman, residing in
North Carolina. In the same State was an
Indian aged l25, negro woman III, two
black females 10 each, one mulltto male
I2O, and several i'e Ii ales and females
aged from 1G6 to III. In the parish Of
Lafayette, La, was female, black, aged
100. In several of the States there were
found persons, white and black, aged from
10 to ll5. There were in the United States,
in 1850, ., ,555 persons over 100 years. This
shews that about person in 1000 will be like
ly to live that age. There ar now about 10000
persons in the United States who were living
when the Declaration of independence was
signed in fI76. They mnst necessarily be
near 80 years old now, in order to have lived
at that time. The French census Of 1851
shows only l02 persons over 1C0 yeNs old
though their total population was near &c.
600 900. Old age is therefore attained among
us much more frequently than in France

The Right Of PetIrion.

We ought, perhaps to have stated, in our
article of yesterday, that it has been common
practice, in our Legislature, at such stage in
the session would afford reasonable grounds
for judging nearly Of the time that would be
required to bring it tc close, to pass an or
der. that, after certain day ahead, no petition,
requiring order Of notice to Be issued thereon.
should be referred to a committee. This, it
will be seen, is very different thing from,
the wholesale proposition of Mr.. Robinson, to
strike down, absolutely, the right of petition,
after the legislature has been six weeks in ses-
sion. The order above referred to, is adopted
for the purpose OF fastening the business of
the session, and bringing it more rapidly to a
close. Yet, even, for this purpose we doubt
its utility, believing, from some experience
and good deal of observation, that its tenden-
cy is to retard rather than hasten legislation.
1t does not prevent the presentation Of petit
tons, and we have never known session
when such an order was adopted, in which
more time was not spent in debates upon it,
and in attempts. either successful or otherwise,
to get it suspended in favor of greater or
less number of petitions, than it would have
required to act upon every petition which was
excluded by its operation. For this reason.
and for the reason that il is, to some extent,
all abridgement of one of our most sacred
rights, we have always and uniformly OPP
posed any such order; and, in the session of
1851, when the attempt to pass it was defeat
ed, we had, to our mind, a most satisfactory
and conclusive demonstration of the greater
wisdom of that course. Every petition that
was offered, to the very close of the session,
was received and regularly referred. If there
was no obstacle to action on them, they were
acted upon. If there was not time to issue
orders Of notice returnable at that session, or
ifany other impedment was in the way, they
were so disposed of as would best compoft with
the rights of the petitioners. and, in this way,
everything was satisfactorily arranged, and
much less time was consumed than had been
usual under the old mode We are fully sat
isfed that this is the best course and, so be-
leTing, we hope never again to see an order of
such character adopted by the Legislature of
this State

Rochester, whose mysterious disappearance,
about the first Of November, created so much
sensation in that city. About the lst of De-

boarder at the house, who had been reading
accounts of Emma Moore disappearance, was
struck with the resent lance of this Young
woman to the description given of the missing
girl. She further learned that the person in
question had come from Rochester. She com
municated these facts to Officer Crippen, who
related them to Mayor Snelbaker, and it was
resolved to secretly investigate the matter
further. This morning the Mayor considered
himself justified in ordering the arrest of the
girl, and despatched Officers Crippen and
Shattuck to house on Fifth street, near West
ern Row, where sshe has been stopping for
several days. She was taken to the Office of
The Mayor, where the suspicious of the off
GERS were first communicated to her. She de-

left Uxbridge, Monday afternoon, so that It
