The Russian VAR Harrington gives another ex-
hbition Of his grand dorama at the Armory Hall at
Ii this afternoon. As this arrangement is made for
the express accommodation Of the junior branch of

City Election.


1t will be seen, by reference to the proper place,
that Mayor Lewis in obedience to the laws and ord
nances now in force, has issued formal notice that
there will bean election on the fourth Monday, oath
of this month, for one Mayor, Treasurer Comptroller
Surveyor and Street Commissoner-al of whom are
to be elected by general ticket-one Recorder for
each of the four districts, seven Aforementioned
from the First, two from the Second, one from the
Third and one from the Fourth Dstrict-and twenty
seven Assistant Aldermen.
We imagine the election will not take place the
day specified, it is than probable the Legisla-
ture will postpone it at least two months. Still the
Mayors action in the premises is the less neces
sary. He can know no laws that have not gone into
force and effect
Should the Legislature make no change, however,
the election must come off on Monday week next. 1t
is well enough that this fact should be borne in mind

Family Government.

1t is not to watch children with suspi-
cious eye; to srown at their merry outbursts
Of innocent lilarity; to suppress their joy
Gus laughter, and to mould them into mel
ancholy little models of octogenaran gray
ity.
And when they have been in fault, it is
not to punish them simply on account of
the personal injury that you may have
CHANGED to suffer in consequence of their
fault while disobedience unattended by
inconvenience to yourself passes without
rebuke.
Nor is it to overwhelm the little culprit
with flood Of angry words; to stun him
with deafening noise; to call him by hard
names which Go not express his misdecds /;
to load him with epithets, which would be
extravagant if applied to a fault Of ten
fold enormity; or to declare with passion
ate vehemence that he is the worst child in
the village, and destined to the galiows.
But it is to watcl, anxiously for the first
risings Of sin, and to rcpress them; to
counteract the earliest working Of selfish
ness: to suppress the first beginnings of
rebellion agasinst rightful authority; to
teach an implicit and unquestioning, and
cheerful obedience to the will of the parent,
as the best preparation for future aIlcgi-
ance to the requirements of the civil magis-
trate, and to the laws of the great Ruler
and Father in Heaven.
1t is to punish fault because it is {.
fault: because it is sinful and contrary to
the commands of God without reference
to whether it may not have been productive
of immediate injury to the parent or to
others.
1t is to rcprove with calmness and COM
posure, and not with angry irritation; in a
few words, ftly chosen, and not with a
torrent of abuse; to punish as often as you
threaten, and threaten only when you both
intend, and can remember to perform to
say what you mean, and infallibly to do as
you say.
1t is to govern your family as in the
sight Of Him who gave you your authority
who will reward your strict fidelity with
such blessings as he bestowed on Abraham,
or punish your criminal neglect with such
curses as he visited on Eli.-Religious

Interpretation Of Dreon,s.-Therc is a
new guide to the Interpretation Of dreams.
An English paper thus puts it: ITO dream
of milestone round your neck, is II sign of
what you may expect if you get an cxtrav-
agant wife. To see apples in dream, be-
tokens a wedding, because where you find
apples, you may reasonably expect to find
pears. To dream that you are lame, is a
token that you will get into l,obble.-
When young lady dreams Of coffin, it
betokens that she should instantly discon-
tinue lacing her stays tightly, and always
60 warmly and thickly shod in wet weather.
If you dream of clock, i: is token that
you will gain credit-that is, tick. To
dream Of fire, is sign that if you are wise
you will see that the lights in your house
are out before you 60 to bed. To dream
that your nose is red at the tip, is an init
nation that you had better leave off brandy
and-water.. To dream Of walking barefoot
ed, denotes journey that you will make
bootless."

Hook and Crook were appointed to ascer-

Pastures.

A proper supply Of pasturagc is the
great want Of southern husbandry. Un-
less this want shall be better supplied, our
agriculture must continue to decline. A
routine Of crops which furnishes plentiful
supply of grass. hay and small grain, is es-
se"t'al both for successfully rearing valua-
bic stock and improving our soils. Add to
this as bountiful supply of manure as can
by care and attention be made on tho
premises, and there will be a reasonable as
surancc for prosperity and independence, if
not wealth.
The agricultural statistics of England
show that while she has some ten millions
OF acres in crops, she has fifteen millions in
grasses and pa<turagc. And there cannot
be Il doubt that the most profitable rural
management in our country is that which
furnishes the best exhibitions of pas,urasa
and the grasses.
There are portions of Virginia and Nortl,
Carolina, whicl. twenty years ago, were so
quilted and exhausted by the continuous
cultivation Of the two hoe crops of Indian
corn and tobacco, that tie lands were diff
cult to sell at three and four dollars per
acre. Those lands now S, II at from forty
to one hundred dollars per acre, and arc
annually becoming more valuable, under
different treatment. Where formerly were
seen the gaunt COW and horse, the half
starved hog and sheep, are now to be found
tat and improved nnimas of every kind;
| luxurlant fields of red clover, of timothv
and blue grass, or rich wheat or oat fields
occupying the places which were cast away
as worthless; emigration is checked, and
the country not less than the inhabitants.
present cheerful, pleasing and happy as
pect. Now what has caused this rcvolu-
ton? Simply the change from the unre-
m'ttcd hoe crop Of Indian corn and tobacco.
to Il jndicious system of rotation, and prop
or attention to manure, which, while it has
improved the soil, at the same time las fur
nshcd plentiful supply Of grass and hay.
Add to these The increased facilities for
transportation, by rail roads and plank
roads, and we have full explanation of
the great reformation and Transformation.
Have the net profits of the farm been
diminished? The hest answer TO this oues-
tion will be found in the enhanced value of
the lands-f"r it is hardly probable that
where lands have increased in value 1000
to 1900 per cent, that the profits have not
advanced 7'cri pnssu.
With such examples before him, why is
1t that the cotton planter will persist in his
ruinons course? Is it because he believes
nothing can lie relied upon for stock food
but Indian corn, and nothing for profit but
cotton? If so, let him ask tie Virginia
and Carolina farmer, and they will satisfy
him of his error. They will tell him that
the opinion once prevailed with them that
Indian corn for food, and tobacco for mar
ket, were the only reliable crops, and that
this WAS the great error of their old hus-
bandry, which impoverished their stock and
their lands, and was rapidly depicting their
pockets.

Effects of Heat upon Meat.

a well cooked piece Of meat should be
full of its own juice or natural gravy. In
roasting, therefore, it should be- exposed to
quick fire, that the external surface may
bc made to contract at once, and the albu-
men to coagulate, before the juice has had
time to escape within. And so in boiling:
When piece Of beef or mutton is plunged
into boiling water, the outer part contracts,
the albumen, which is near the surface,
coagulates, and the Internal juice is preven-
ted either from escaping into the water by
which it is surrounded, or from being d.
lu'ed or'weakened by the admission of wa
ter among it. When cut up, therefore, the
meat yields much gravy, and is rich in fla
vor. Hence heetsteak or mutton chop
is done quickly and over quick fire, that
the natural juices may be retained. On
tile other hand, if the meat he exposed to a
slow fire, its pores remain open, the juice
continues to flow from within, as it has
dried from the surface, and the flesh pines,
and becomes dry, hard, and unsavory. Or
if it be put into cold or tepid water, which
is afterwards gradually brought to boil,
much of the albumen is extracted before il
coaguIates, the natural juices for the most
part flow out, and the meat is served in. a
nearly tastcless state. Hence, to prepare
good boiled meat, it should be put at once
into water already brought TO boil. But
to make beef tea, mutton broth, and other
meat soups, the flesh should be put into.
cold water, and this afterwards very slowly.
warmed, and finally boiled. The advantage
derived from simmering, a term not unfre-
q"ent in cookery books, depends very much
upon the effects Of slow boiling as above
explained - Chemistry Of commoa life.

Nix. AvERY's SPEECH IN New YoRK.-We copy to-
day, from one of the New York papers, the SUBJ
stance of the remarks delivered by W. W. Avery ESQ.,,
of this State at the great ratification meeting in that
City on the 18th inst The report of what Mr..
Avery said is imperfect; but it was hurried to the
press reports of speeches always are on such oc
casions and he had time either to write out what
he did say or to revise and correct the report The
enthusiastic manner in which Mr.. Avery was re-
ceived by the immense assemblage and the attention
which was shown him, gratifying to his numer-
Gus friends in North Carolina. Judge Douglas, who
was expected, arrived while he was speaking; and
knowing the anxiety of the assembage to hear him,
he brought his remarks to a close sooner than he
might otherwise have done.
Our readers will observe that Mr.. Avery spoke in
New York as he would have spoken before North
Carolina audience Oh the subject of slavery and the
Kansas.Nebraska act and that his remarks were
received with cheers and the strongest demonstra-
tons of approval. We refer to this to show the
tional character of the Democracy. 1t is the same
in New York and South Carolina.

Cincinnati Convention, recently published in this
paper the name of Gen. Thos. j. Person, of North

will account for the omission of his name by the
