IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
Wakefeld's4H Hand .Corn-Planter.

TIME Western Corn Planter Company. hayingcom-
i pleted their arrangements for Manufacturing
-tbaa valuable Iabor-Saving Imploment, now oFer
them to the Farmers Of the West, in the full conf
dence that they will at once supply a want long felt
by al, for q substitute to the old laborious, slow, and
expensive methods of planting with a hoe. The OBJ
~jections heretofore made to Corn Planters, are, in
Wakefeld's invention, entirely Obviated; their sim
plicity, accuracy, cheapness, and durability, Wilh7at
once commend them to- all Farmers. 1t is carried
and used as a cane or walking stick, requiring no de-
lay or additional motion or efforts, adapted for
planting in rocky and uneven ground, and in all kinds
Of Soils easily adjusted to plant at any desired
depth, and to drop any required number of seeesin a
hill.
The method by which the seed is planted with thi;
Planter is new, and, it is believed, possesses advan-
tages over every other, not only in facility of use, but
in fastening termination. The seed is forced, by
pressure, ~obliquely from the surface of the ground
to the required depth, thus insuring the immediate
ABSORPTION of moisture, by bringing it into perfect
and hard contact with the soil, under and around 1T
while the earth falling loosely over, cannot obstrnci
the coming up and growth of the blade.
The economy of using this Planter, that viii more
than pay for itself if only wanted to plant in a com
mon garden is apparent to all
k-Persons wishing to purchase Planters o.
Rights, may obtain further information by address.

VINO Owls ZEN I'VE notice a large num-
Der of boys wandering about the city, who We
suppose must be lost. They are for the most
part very well dressed, wearing long coats, tight
pantaloons, shiny hats and boots, and generally
carry small canes in their kid gloved hands,
From the manner in which they stare at the
ladies who pass them, we infer that they are
trying to find their mothers. Why don't ouI
charitable citizens get up an asylum for these
poor children /? 1t is a shame to allow them
to be wandering about the city by themselves
in this manner. They are much more fit to be
in the nursery. The kind hearted keepers Of
taverns and billiard saloons, allow them 8
refuge in their establishment, and most Chart
ably supply them with segars and adulterated
liquors. At all hours of the day and nigh
these un~fortunates crowd beneath their hospit
able roofs. Parents in search of their sons viii

SHIPwREcK AND AWFUL %sUFFERINGs AT
SEA-TEN LIVES LosT-NARRATIvE OF CAPT.
RUDoLPH.-We have by a privaJe hand news
from ST. Johns to the 18th ult. The seal
fishery had SO far been pretty good. About
forty-one-fourth of the whole feet-had ar
rived, with about 100000 seals. 1t was feared,
however, that the remainder would meet with
but Indifferent fortune. A dreadful shipwreck
had occurred to a vessel commanded by Capt.
Rudolf, well known among US.
The British bark Blake, of 800 tons, Ed
ward Rudolf, master, belonging to Messrs.
Fnnie, Brothers & Co., of Liverpool, England,
sailed from Ship Island HarboE State of Mis-
sissippi, United States, with a cargo of pitch
pine deals, bound to Cork for orders, in fine
trim and beautiful order, on the 9th Of Febru-
airy last, with a fine fair wind and weather
with every hope of making a good and pros
porous passage.
On the 18th, during a snow-storm, she was
capsized; seven were washed overheard, the
decks burst open, all the matches washed off
and every morsel of provisions carried away,
The remainder of those on board were without
food or drink for FIVE days; on the eighth day
a small cask of water was got at, and a half
drowned rat was caught and devoured; after
wards a man died and his body was reserved
to be eaten, and was actually eaten In part
when on the ninth day after the disaster, the
schooner Pigeon, of ST. Johns, N. F., hove il
light aad rescued the sufferers. Eight persons
were washed overheard, two died of cold anC
starvation, and seven were saved.

News FROM SAT- LAKE.-Mr. G. w
Hood, and six others have Just gotin from Sail
Lake, AZ days out. Mr.. Hood states there ha:
been great suffering in Salt Lake on account
of the severity of the winter, and shortness'of
crops occasioned by the G~rasshoppers. The
Legislature met at fillmore, 160 miles South
Of Salt Lake, 9th December, had a quiet time,
and Delegates had been appointed to present a
State Constitution to Congress, asking admis-
sion into the Union as a State. Mr.. Babbitt,
Secretary of the Territory, and Judge Kinney
and family, along with Missionaries for differ
ent parts of the world are now on their way
In. About ten thousand head of stock per-
ished during the winter, in the Northern val
leys.
A posse of men, under a Deputy q. S.
Marshal, went out in February, to take some
prisoners among the Pah Utah Indians, who
it is charged murdered Lieut. Gunnison. They
three and killed two-one of the Ind
ians cut his shroat after being arrested. This
tribe of Indians, in Cedar Valley, stole $50
head of stock. They were pursued into the
mountains, so head Of stock was captured
eight Mormons were killed, and two or three
Indians.
Business has been very dull on account of
the scarcity and high prices of provisions.
This party left Salt Lake with the small.
party-seven in all-on the 18th March. Had
great difficulty in getting through the Noun
on account of the great quantity of snow.
After passing the Mountains, had pleasant
weather and good trip. Saw number Siouxs
