THE IMPORTANT SLAVE CASE ON TRIAL IN
WAsHINGToN.-1he Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun gives that paper a brief his.
tory of the important case now being tried before
the United States Supreme Court In which bred
Scott, colored, sues for freedom. He says:
DIR. Edmondson, of the U. 8 Army, removed with
slave scott) from Missou to Rock Island Illinois,
AMI after remaining q here three years removed to
some other military peat In lows Major Talaferro
mad also carried slave woman to Fort Smelling who
there married Scott. They have two children, one
of whom was born in Iowa, or some place north of
Sc deg. SIS min. and the other in Missouri Tbs par
ties finally went to Missouri, and became the pro-
perty Of Sanford by purchase. bred Scott brought
an action in Missouri for the recovery of his freedom
and that of his wife ana their ISSUE the ground
that, by having been voluntarily by their owners
taken into free territory, and becoming domiciled
there. they had become free. The court Judge Scott
presiding decided against the claim of the parties to
freedom, on the ground believe that their owners
had done act exhibiting intention to manumit
them, and that, therefore, under the Missouri law,
they were slaves.
bred scott now briggs this suit plaintiff in error
The case argued at the last term of the Court.

PEDIGREE.

Prince Albert was sired by the celebrated horse
Nimrod. owned by the HoE Joseph Smith ofEast
Berkshire VT. Nimrod was sired by the True
American, an elegant large black horse, with SUI
perior proportions, and the best neck and Shout
ders to be found; he was sired by the celebrated
old Quick Silver, owned by Joseph Bellows, of
Walpole n. II. Quick Silver was bred by Jehoran
Parsons, of Brighton Mass, and sired BY the i'm
ported horse Dey of Algiers. True Americans
dam was beautiful Bay Mare, sired by the i'm
ported horse All Fours, kept at Stonington, CT.
Nimrod's dam was a beautiful BAY mare of great
speed and bottom, and of fire form and color,
and she was got by the old Morgan himself, on
fine English mare.
Prince Albert's dam was a beautiful bav mare

Agricultural Reaoinq.
Manufacture Of Fish Guano.

At late meeting of the Boston Soci-
ETY. of Natural History DR.. Charles T
Jackson, by request of one of the mem
bers, gave an account of the method now
employed by the Narrrganset Fish Qua
no Company, in the extraction of oil
from Menhaden, and of converting the
residual matter into a substitute for qua
no. We find the following report of his
remarks in the Traveller:
He said that the manufacture of oil,
and of artificial guano from fishes, had
long been practiced in France, where the
fish called Merriam was employed for this
purpose, and yielded but one and half
or two per cent. of oil while the Menha-
den is a much fatter fish and produces
oil more abundantly. In France the
fish cake, remaining after the extraction
OF oil, Is dried at a steam heat, and is then
ground fine and packed in alright casks
for sale as a manure.
The Narragansett Company are en-
gagged in similar processes, in the CONVEX
sion of their fish cake into manure. They
first steam the fish, then press out the oil.
and afterwards dry and grind the re-
mainder, mixing some gypsum, limestone
or earthly material, in order to render the
grinding more perfect. Sometimes they
add sulphuric acid to the fish cake, and
convert the bones of the fish into sulphate
OF ammonia and humus, according to the
method first indicated by DR.. Hare. of
Philadelphia. In case this method is
employed, the acid cake should be ground
with limestone, when the excess of sui
phuric acid will form sulphate of lime.
and renderthe addition of gypsum un-
necessary.
1t has been proposed to add a certain
proportion OF peat to the fish cake, during
he operation of grinding it, the peat act
ng as an excellent absorbent of ammo
Tia, and as an antiseptic. This is applica-
Die TO the fish cake that has not been
reated with sulphuric acid.
Properly prepared fish cake is fully /
equal to guano as fertilizer, and it can /
'e prepared at a much lower cost than
5uano can be brought from the coast of
Peru There are doubtless many places
IT our coast, where fish can be obtained
n adequate quantities for the manufac-
# this manure.

best and most efficient way to destroy

A PORTRAIT.

l met the queen of snuff-takers in the
street yesterday, and wished very much
that every new beginner in that filthy
habit could have seen her likewise. She
was the very embodiment, the very quin-
tessence of snuff A walking snuff-bIad-
der She looked as if she had been snuff
fng, shutting, and shutting, till every vein
IN her dried-up carcass was full to reple-
ton. Yes, every pore in her shriyeled
skin was loaded, crammed. rammed. lam
med with the dirty powder, till it could
hold no more! Then, at the extreme
point of her sharp pointed nose hung,
tremblingly, drop!-not a dew drop,
but such a dropl The strength and sub
stance of more than ten pounds avoirdu-
pois, of Macaboy, was concentrated in
that dreadful drop! The odor thereof
impregnated the air of the whole neigh
borhood round about her, so that two
dozen men, women and children fell to
sneezing thereat! Yea, verify, the very
cats and dogs caught the titillation-one
old towser lost two teeth and one eve du-
ring the operation, besides gettinga kink
out OF his tail and two tabbies sneezed
of both their ears That drop verify
believe would tincture the whole waters
of Massachusetts Bay!

Soar SUBS FOR CURRANT BUSHES
A correspondent of the Indiana Farmer
says -
I have found the cultivation of cur
rants to be very profitable. By care and
attention / greatly increased the size of
the bushes and the quantity and quality
of the fruit. My bushes are now about
eight feet in height, and are remarkably
thrifty. The cause of this large growth,
| attribute, in great measure, to the fact
that l have been in the habit of pouring
soap suds and chamber ley around their
roots during the summer season. am
satisfied, from my own experience and
that of some of my neighbors, that this
treatment viii produce a most astonish-
ing effect upon the growth and produce
of the bushes, and would advise others
to give it trial"

DECLINE OF CATHOLICISM

In Austria there are more than tire,
and half millions of Protestants.
In France there are many Protestants
who are protected by law, and the annual
Papal revenue has sunk, since the revo.
luton, from S3O,OOO,OOO to about 500.
100000.
In Sardinia the King has gone steadily
onward in the reformation of Papal abr,-
ses-maintaining his way at the risk Of
accommodation, and granting religious
liberty to all denominations.
In Tuscany much disaffection has lono
existed.
In Naples the King has firmly resisted
the Jesuits, and shows some independence
of the Vatican.
In Spain the waning of Rome's power
Is unmistakable, and the government has
effectually coniscated the conyentual
property.
In the Canadas, the valley of the Mis-
slsslPpi, the Floridas, Texas, it has sue
cumbed to Protestant Governments.
In Brazil, Chill, and Central America
liberal sentiments are advancing; while
New Grenada, Venezuela, and the Ar
genuine Republic, have formally proclaim
ed liberty of worship.
In Mexico, the estates of the church
nave been confscated to the amount of
about $4,000, 900.
