DEFAULTERs--Mr Guthrie, secretary of the treasury, at the commencement of the present administration, resolved to stir up the numer- ous defaulters who owed the government. He found that there was over one hundred and thirty million dollars due from them all; some of them cases of long standing. Some of the cases were twenty years old; but no time bars claim of the government.
 to the present time, over thirty millions of dollars of these claims have been collected and settled; and there remains about hundred millions yet to collect, and the secretary has ordered legal proceedings to be instituted in all cases.
 Look out, defaulters Buck up your dimes. or hide your property as quick as possible. Uncle Sam's government in the haads of de- mocracy, demands immediate payment--PaHs- burg Post.

An EngiishWOman On Amer;ca

It appears that book has been recently pub- lished in London on this country, said to be "by an Englishwoman." She chooses to re- main incognito and it proves her good sense in doing so. The London Times, in noticing the volume and comparing it with Miss Mur- rays, accords to the anonymous one the first place, and endorses its wholesale lies and mis- representations. When such stories as the fol- lowing are eagerly swallowed in England, it shows very conclusvely the prejudiced state of the public mind there against us. The Times says:
 While she the (Enslishwoman) was at New York, In 1854, there were election riots, in con- sequence of struggle between the Know No- things and the Irish Romanists. Very little notice was taken of these occurrences by the English journalists, or even it appears, by the authoress' American friends; vet for three daYs C df0pptng Jtte of nansketry aoas continually to De heard ln Netr York aaR Williamsburg. It was stated that the hospitals received one hund,el alM seceaty aoonlalei men, and that many more were carried off by their friends. She herself saw two dead bodies and in one street or ally both the siae- -oalks ana tie roadway aoeye sljppe- 'y a0'th dtoof; t Was .Foe days moreouer 6etore quiet loas restored. This was of course, an un- usual occurrence but the authoress elsewhere gives various other glimpses of the ordinary insecurity of life and property in the United SIates''
 Will it be believed. that the London Times, landed as it $ to the skies for its sagacity and reliableness, fully endorses the above, in fact, believes all that this anonymous writer says, and rejects the statements of Miss Murray?

k. x. RATIFICATION AGAIN.--in In this city on Saturday last, was held Know Nothing ratification meeting. We did not reach home ill time to be present, but learn that it was miserable failure.
 IiumbuSsing has had its day Last August the order was called upon to ratfy the twelfth section. Scarcely six months elapsed and they are called on to ratily iIs rcpeqI. The con- cern is how abolitonizcl. The platform of the order was introduced into the national council by free e-soiler from Illinois, who de- clarcd after its adoption, that he would never vote to admit into the Union another slave State. So says Capt Pike, and such is the platform the citizens of Pulaski county were called upon by the order to ratfy last Saturday. No wonder the attendance was slim.
 
 AN noNGoT EXoLAMATIoN.-The following We clip from the report of the proceedings of ,tr su u.4 Know Nothing council which no- minated Fillmore and Doneson:
 "A motion was made that 1Ir Edie, of Ptnnsy .vaIia, act aS secretary to this conven- ton.
 This nomination was received with consi- dcrablc daiavor;~ sand Mr. Pike, of Arkqn- sas, said, " Good God, where are your national men"
 Mr. Ellie is secretary of the Reading (Pa.) council, which body ignores the twelfth sec ton.
 Mir Edie is all abolitionist and the impudent proposal to make him the secretary of the grand Know Nothing convention was too much for the patience of Capt. Pike, and the exclamation, " Gooi God, ,olere are your national men, burst involuntarily from his lips. l. was an honest expression of disgust at the character of men with whom Know Nottingham had brought him m contact-and the only fault that we have to find with 1t is, that al such place and in such company, an appeal to the ''deol2." we think, would have been more appropriate and

Should that tickle jade, the weather, array

the ubject of implements, who would remind
those using them, that poor tools are dear
though they cost nothing. The hoe, by so
many supposed to be an instl ument in the
construction of which little mechanical skill
or ingenuity is needed, should be properly
made, justly proportional, neither too light
nor too heavy. This is the more important

MILLET AS A SuB>TIu1E CoRN-While
closing this number for the pr,ss, we receiv-
ed avery Seasonable suggestion on this subject
from Mr.. 7. B. LORD, of East Bethany, A..
Y. Mr.. L. says there is much complaint in
his section of corn not growing in consequen
&C Of defective scotland that some are pro-
curing new seed and planting again. He
thinks it uncertain whether the new seed will
prove better. and considers late planting
doubtful policy; and therefore suggests wheth-
er it would not be advisable to try millet,
which will ripen mon earlier Than corn,
and produce crop of from 90 to 80 bdshels
of grain, and three or four tuns of good fod-
der per acre" Mr.. l. thinks that by sowing
millet, farmers would be provided against a
failure of the corn crop-securing the materi-
al to make polk. cuisines having double the
quantity Of fodder from the same land that
corn would afford" He adds tn There is yet
ample time to SOW millet, as he sowed on the
9Th Of June last year, (and had good CROP
ripening the last of August, )-aud thinks it
would be safe il sown as late as the 20th.-
" sow broadcast, twelve quarts to the acre,
and harrow in nothing more is required un-
til harvest. 1t is as easily harvested as a crop
OF corn"
We thus give the substance Of Mr.. Lords
suggestions for the consideration of those of
our readers interest

AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
CHEEsE.-Considerab interest was excited
in Gloucester market, by the exhibition of
apparatus for cutting, tiltering and press
ing the curd, and for more readily and effec-
tually separating the whey from the curd."
The apparatus, which promises to be exceed
ingly useful in the manufacture of cheese, is
the invention Of Mr. Keev, of Stroud Farm,
Lacock, near Chippenham, Wills. By the
process hitherto observed, af'er the milk has
stood to curd for one hour, it is broken up
with the 4" stirring" which generally badly
bruises the curd, and separates much fat or
whey cream from it source of complaint
amoug the cheesefactors, and a continual and
serious loss TO the farmers. By the use of
this apparatus these evils are entirely avoid
ed; the curd with very trihing labor is cut
sufficiently small, by means of set of knives,
which pass gently through the curd aud cut
it SO cleanly that no whey, cream, or fat, is
separated from it. The cutting of the curd is
thus effected with very little labor, no waste,
and in such simple manner that the most
inexperienced dairymaid can readily perform
the operation. The labor and waste attend
ant upon the existing process of separating
the whey from the d, af er the latter has
been broken up, are also obviated in this ap
paratus by the use of self-acting filter and
tap, through which the whey is drawn off.
