Ice Houses.

A correspondent of the New England
Farmer gives a description of very
cheap mode of erecting an ice house,
which he has found to keep ice the year
round without any difficulty The whole
cost was three thousand feet of lumber,
25 lbs. of nails, and four or five days
work, not exceeding in all about S25.
1t is built within another house, which he
finds to be of great advantage. The fol-
lowing is the description of this mode of
building: s tes
SIN the first place, dig out the dirt
where you wish your house to stand, to
the depth of two feet or more, if exposed
to frost greatly, and fill up with stone !;
then put your sills on level with the
ground, put in strong sleepers, and cover
this over with three-inch plank. Com
mence upon this plank with scantling,
sawed one and one half by four inches
for your wall, laying one upon the other
and mailing them one to the other; inside
of this lay up another tier, leaving space
of about four inches to be filled up with
sawdust or tan-bark; so continue till you
have it as high as you wish for ice; then
take plank and cover over, having them
come to the outer edge of your inside
wall; continue on as before with your
walls, until as high as you like, and cover
all over with plank two inches double; ii
under cover, no roof will be necessary
more than this. Have two doors, one
where the ice is and one above, where
you can put in butter, milk, or anything
You like 20 have kepS cool. Bore these
upper plank full of two-inch holes; the
ones above the ice and the ones at the
bottom OF the house bore half-inch holes
through them once in about foot all over
tie bottom, and spread two inches or
more of sawdust or tan-bark over the
bot ON before putting your ice in. Pack
the ice as closely as possible, not having
it come quite up to the top and edge OF
your house, and when full throw saw
dust, or whatever you may use, over the
top, and also fill up between the ice and
sides of the house, and / will venture to
say you will not be out of ice by reason
of melting"

The steamer Honduras Sunk.

From Mr.. Mcdonald, clerk of this
steamer, who arrived here on Saturday
evening, from the wreck, we learn the
following particulars of the sinking ofthe
boat:
She had been some eight or ten days
out from New Orleans, and was heavily
laden with freight, besides about ono
hundred deck, and fifty or sixty cabin
passengers. On Wednesday night last,
at z o'clock, when about two miles above
Hat Island, near Wiikinson's landing.
and about one hundred miles below this
city, shestruck and slowly settled, and in
about two hours was sunk in twelve feet
water 1t is not known upon what the
steamer struck. The point of eoncas-
sion was just abreast of the starboard
hatch. The passengers were considera-
bly, alarmed, but all got off safely some
few, however, remaining on board. A
portion of the freight was saved.
The freight and charges of the Hondu-
ras were insured in New Orleans for
about $4,000. The boat was insured
for $4,000, distributed as follows -
$4,000 in the Citizens Office, $1,000 In
the Phoenix, 81, 500 in the Firemen's,
Charleston, and Sc, 500 in the Colum-
bia.
Capt. Welton. who also came up on
Saturday evening, will return to the boat
on tomorrow morning.-&. Louis Dem

Parhelia, or Mock Suns.

On last Monday morning, a9th ult.,
between the hours of 8 and 10, we OBJ
served the interesting meteor, parhelia,
or mock suns. This was the first time
we ever witnessed the phenomenon, and
we therefore observed it with much inter
est. The sun was surrounded by iu-
minous ring-the diameter of which
seemed about forty-fve degrees-which
wss slightly tinged with color like the
rainbow. On the east and west sides Of
this ring-and on . line with the sun.
which was parallel to the horizon-were
two suns which almost riyalled their pa
rent luminary in splendor. On the north
of the luminous ring, and few degrees
from it, was what Is usually called sun
dog-it resembling segment of rain-
bow. of about forty five degrees, with the
opening turned from the sun. Astrone-
nlers tell US that the sun-dog is supposed
to be formed by the intersection Of two
or more haloes.- Occidental Messenger.

ehoiies Poetry.


I'd not give up! MOI grim despair
Should never forge q chain for me !.
Whilst thus breathed nay native air
Within land Of liberty
No. bastard were that soul that covers
Within a free-born lnnd like ours. - s5a
I'D not give upi though every frown
That Fortunes face is won't to wear
Should rob me Of the small renown
That may have been my humble share.
Should thwart my every wish and will
Fortune-througha all I'd WOO thee still!
Shame on the weak and craven heart
That bows beneath each transient sorrow,
Without the nerve to pluck the dart,
And greet the sunrise of the morrow!
Without the will-for will is power
To pluck the thorn and Gull the flower!
For what 70 man is manhood givens
For what his varied powers of mindl
For what his every hope of Heaven,
When earth's fair gifts have been resigned
If not to brave misfortune's thrall,
And rise superior to them all.
Then raise that dropping brow of thine.
RIsoLvE-a and then ESDKAvoR!
Give sorrow to the laughing wind,
With fear and dcubt-foreyer!
Press onward-and .despond no more
Thy motto be EXCELSIOR

Effects of Vegetables upon Fruit Trees


We examined, while at Sacramento,
four rows of peach trees, in the orchard
of the Pathological Gardens of Mr.. Smith,
and noted the deleterious result of grow
ing vegetables upon the ground around
them. These four rows of trees were
not much more than half the size of the
adjoining rows, and they appeared yell
low and sickly: the entire ground be-
tween the rows and under the trees were
planted with turnips. Another square
we found planted with cabbages in the
same sickly condition. All the other
trees in the orchard were larger; the
leaves lively green and in perfect health.
These facts can be Witnessed any moment
by visit to the grounds California

Kansas Towns.

New towns are springing up in Kansas
Territory at rapid rate. The Leaven-
worth Herald, OF the 19.h, announces
the location of town called Rock City,
laid off on the military road from Fort
Leavenworth to Fort Riley, and located
between Rock Greek and the VermiIlion,
on a beautiful spot, with heavy body
of timber adjoining. 1t is about 80
miles out from the Missouri river, and
has every advantage of timber, water,
and soil.
Grasshopper Falls is the name of a
new town, recently located on the beauti-
full stream called Grasshopper, at the
Falls. 1t is beautiful site for town,
abundantly supplied with water. with fine
water power, good timber, and excellent
soil. Besides, it is on the nearest and
most direct route to Fort Riley.
Someryille is another. It located on
Stranger creek, about Is miles from Fort
Leavenworth. The Government road
crosses atthe town. 1t has many adyan-
tages to build up place of trade.
Pawnee is to be the town In the interior
of the Territory. 1t has many adyanta-
ges but few places possess. 1t is beau
tiful site, adjoining Fort Riley, on the
Kansas river, at the head of navigation,
in beautiful country.
Alexandria is the name of town re-
Gently located on Stranger creek, and now
nearly surveyed. 1t is said to be good
location, with plenty of wood, water, and
soil surrounding the place to support a
considerable settlement. A rich coal
mine has been discovered in the vicinity.
OF Leayenworth itself the Herald
speaks in the most encouraging terms
1t says /: Leavenworth is TIE point for
a great commercial city, so marked out
by nature. 1t is about central on the
Missouri river, and has landing that
cannot be exceiled. Steamboats, run this
high up about nine months In the year.
From here into the interior are the best
natural roads in the world. which are ex-
tensiyely travelled every year. by traders
and emigrants to New Mexico, Utah, CAL
ifornia, and Oregon. Unjust be the great
out6tting and starting point for thep plains.
Besides. it has country back of it that
Is fast filing up with an enterprisiag pop
ulation. an the interior towns back of
it viii act as feeders of Leayenworth-I
They must all trade at some point on the
riyer. and this win be the easiest of ac-
cess for large and extensive scope of
country. Our country is web adapted to
the cultivation of hemp, tobacco, and
grain of all kinds

Select Poetry.
The Old rhirtssn States.


God bless the good old thirteen States,
God bless The young ones too;
Who cares for musty birthday dates?
God bless them-old and new.
The old ones first our freedom gained,
In bloody fights of yore;
The young oEes have their rights maintained,
As the old ones did before
OF south or north, OF east or west,
Twin sisters all they be;
One mother nursed them at her breast,
And that was Liberty.
And may the wretch. whose hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread.
Be scorned while in this world alive,
And scorned when he is dead
Now fill the bowl with Natures wine,
Let's drink " God save the King"
The only King by right divine,
The sovereign Peoples King.
For they're the only King Town;
All others despise;
The King that towers above the throne,
The King that never dies.
O.. may that seepter wide extend
Der every land and sea,
Without beginning, without end,
And conquer to set free
Till freedoms banner floats alone,
A beacon in the sky,
And man no other Lord shall own
But He who rules on high.

Delaware Reserve.

Mr.. Mccoy is now engaged in survey
ing the Delaware reservation. 1t is said
there are some difficulties in establishing,
with certainty, the exact point of the ter
minus of the eastern line running to the
Missouri river. If the line is establish
ed where it is said Mr.. Mccoy has fixed
as the point-the high water line of Big
Island creek where it intersects the high
water line of the Missouri riyer-it will
give to the Delawares more lands than
has been supposed to be in their reserve,
and will take number of valuable claims,
already made by actual settlers.
The Delaware treaty makes the follow
ing exceptions of the ceded lands, which
is the reserve. After describing what
lands are ceded, it says:
Excepting that portion of said coun-
try sold to the Wyandott tribe of Indians,
and also excepting that part of said coun-
try lying east and south of line begin
ming at point on the line between the
land of the Delawares and half-breed
Kansas, forty miles, in direct line, west
of the boundary between the Delawares
and Wyandotts, thence north ten miles,
thence in an easterly course to point on
the south bank of Big Island creek, which
shall also be on the bank of the Missou
ri river where the usual high water line
of said creek iniersects the high water
line of said river.
The difficulty in arriving at correct
conclusion as to where iscreek intersects
with the river, consists in this: the creek
referred to in the treaty empties into a
lake or slough, not directly into the Mis-
souri, river, and the waters empty, per-
hsps, In some two or three places in the
riFer, and probably some distance further
north than where the creek originally
emptied its waters into the Missouri.
That Ar. Nc Coy win do justice to all
interested in this question of boundary.
there can be no doubt If the line is es-
tablished where it is understood he has
as the correct point. it win
bring it within about six miles of this
place.-Ransas Herald. .s-
