fatters himself he can furnish better and Chedpe,
Null for the purpose of making Lumber, than ever
offered to the public.
These mills do their work with less power and
in better style and with greater saving of lumber,
than the Gate or Muley Mi-can be used in any
ordinary mill frame, and with any good power that
runs Gate or Muley Mill, and do double the
work, it is estimated, in the same time; and for
simplicity and durability, are all that can be reas-
onably desired They will saw all kinds of timber,
are well adapted to all kinds of work. and are cap
able of cutting, on the average of from 10000 to
$4,000 feet per day.

CautiOn.-Persons are most respectfully re-
quested to beware of whom they purchase Circular
Saw-Mills, for many have procured these mills
from those having no authority to make and yend
the same from the inventor and patentee. EXpe-
rience has proved that large Circular Saw cannot
be used with success and profit without Pages
Patent, and every person using these Mills without
authority, will be deemed trespassing, and dealt
with accordingly-the subscriber being the only
person authorized to make and yend the same in
the Northern States.

The CanieIs i'm Texas.

The Galveston News contains cores
pondence from Castroville, Medina county,
Texas, dated 10Th uit., from which we take
the following interesting particulars in re-
lation to the camels which have lately been
imported there by the United States gov
ernment:
1 had the pleasure of making the ac-
quaintance of Major Wayne, for several
years attached to the War Department in
Washington city, who went out last year to
Asia and introduced the camels into this
country, which arrived at Indianola last
spring and are now kept at this post. 1t
has been selected by him as the best adapt
ed to. that service for which he intends
them. When we arrived, they were out
grazing, some two miles distant, attended
by the Arabs, who have charge of them,
when Major Wayne very kindly sent out
and had them driven in for Inspection
There are altogether thirty-two, including
some young ones, and all are in excellent
health and seem to be doing well.
The males are kept separate from the
females in the coryell, and when all were
housed, and we had examined them care
fully, accompanied by Major Wayne, who
gave us very interesting account of their
habits and peculiarities, he ordered one of
them 20 be led out and loaded as if for
journey. After kneeling to receive the
pack saddle most culnbrous load of it
self, but same as are used in the country
from which they came-a load of corn was
placed on the animals back, sufficient for
two mules to draw in wagon, with which
he started off at good round pace A
dromedary was next led out, which is the
saddle animal of the camel, and after kneel-
ing to received the saddle, he was mounted
by an Arab, who started off across the
prairie at pace which seemed to me not
much short of two forty lick. This pace
they can keep up for hours in succession,
tiaFeiing with perfect ease from eighty to
one hundred miles per day. They can al
so subsist for several days without water,
and their adaptabiliiy 10 the frontier SOW
vice for which they are designed is now .
matter beyond doubt. Major WAYNE in
formed me that he had forty more animals
coming out, and he is now building a STA.
bic in which they will be kept, which he ex-

A HINT ON BUTTER MAKIxG.-Some
people may not know, perhaps, that the
cream should be stirred daily after it is put
into the churn pot so that it may be well
mixed and all soured alike. There viii be
poorer butter-milk, and, of course, more
butter when this attended to. 1t is better,
too, not to churn cream the same day it is
taken from the milk. 1t should stand
awhile with the rest, and be thoroughly
mixed together. 1t takes us 40 minutes
to churn, and the butter comes hard and
yellow. We put no water in the churn ol
cutter, and think good judges will call the
latter first rate. A dash churn is the best

More Fine Stock for the
United Sta ties.

We learn from recent number of the
Mark Lane Express, of London, that a
large number of superior Horses, Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs have been shipped to this
country, for Samuel 'Thone, of Duchess
county,. n. Y- and R. A. Alexander, of
Kentucky. We believe they have all been
received in good order. ~
Prominent among the cattle was young
cow called Darlington 9th, by the son of
Grand Duke. She was bought at Mr..
Sainsbury's sale in August, for 800 gum
cas-. Another very fine heifer, Marie Lou
Use, by Mr.. Booths Hopewell, purchased at
recent sale in Ireland. There Were also
three first-class heifers from the unrivaled
herd of Col. Towneley, of Towneley Hall,
in Lancashire Buttercup I'd, by Horatio
from Rosette; Miss Butterfly, by Master
Butterfly from Rosa; and Pearlette, by
sFalcon from Ringlet. The price given for
these three heifers was 1000 guineas, al
though only just turned one year DID,
Two of them descend on the dams side
from the same family as the famous bull
Master Butterfly, which animal was sold
for Australia, in July, at 1,200 guineas.-
Miss Butterfly was the first heifer by him.
Pearlette is descended from Mr. Booths
Bracelet, one of the most celebrated prize
cows of her day; and for the dam of this
heifer Mr.. Douglas recently gave Mr.
Towneley 500 guineas. These animals
have been purchased by Mr., Stafford, of
London, for Mr.. Thorrle, of New York, one
of the most enterprising breeders of that
country.
There were also consigned for this gen
tleman, some very fine Southdown Sheep
purchased at the Hengrave sale, as well as
some of the best Berkshire and Essex pigs
that we ever saw leave the port of Liver
pool. The Berkshires were from the
famed stocks of Mr.. Overman; the Essex
pigs were bred by Mr.. Crisp, and included
the prize boar at Chelmsford, as well as
some young sows also shown there.
J With the above there were also shipped
some splendid Southdown sheep from Mr..
Lugar's flock, as well as the shearling ram
bought at his sale for go gs. These are
for Mr.. R. "A. Alexander, of Kentucky, a
gentleman whose name stands high as a
great purchaser of our best animals and
who in a recent visit to this country, bought
the celebrated horse Scythian by Orlando,
winner of the Derby (by Touchstone one
of the best stations this country ever pro-
dueed, whose pedigree and performances
are ewell known in the sporting world. He
was winner of the following prizes: New
market Stakes, 1850; Dee Stakes, Ches-
ter, f75e; Goodwood Stakes, 1850; the
Newmarket Royal Stakes, f1, ,24O; the
Chester Cup; s2,775; Stocton, 953O;
Goodwood, $3.50. This valuable horse,
for which Mr.. Alexander gave 1900 gs.,
accompanies the above cattle, under the
charge of Mr.. Beck, and is consigned
through the Messrs. Tattersall.
Some cattle and sheep were also sent
by Mr.. Wythes, for house in New York.
Fhe entire arrangements for the shipment
were made by Mr.. Bell, of the Adelphi
Stables, and were of the most complete
character, being such as to reflect credit
upon the care and attention of this gentle
man.

of SO many passengers the Col. felt it incum-
bent On him to demand retraction of the
insulting matter, which being denied, a
challenge ard acceptance to fight We're soon
settled upon. Two Hungarian officers
named T. Szalay and Schultez, lately in
the service OF Walker at Nicaragua, volun
teered as seconds. Pistols and fifteen PAGES
were the terms proposed, but strange to say,
the seconds, the master of the boat and all
the passengers, including many ladies, op-
posed the proposition, and contended that
the fight should be had with swords.
The Hungarians offered their sabres, and
the next day on reaching Memphis the par
ties landed and procuring the attendance of
DR.. Hill, also passenger on the boat,
proceeded to some grounds adjoining the
city, accompanied by many of the lady and
gentlemen passengers The duel was then
fought with great fierceness, and resulted
in the defeat Of Major Seigler, who by the
superior skill Of his adversary received two
terrible cuts, one on his cheek and other on
his chin, causing him to drop Oh the field.
Returning TO the boat, the wounds of the
Major We're dressed, and a reconciliation of
the parties was affected.
Both gentlemen displayed great gallan-
try in the field, and were triumphantly es-
corted back to the boat by the spectators.
