SPARE FoREsTs.-Under this head the Troy
Wing says of the recent freshets
Trees that have stood the landmarks of a century,
have been uprooted cattle drowned crops destroyed and
devastation carried that part of the country This
food not caused by the breaking up of streams in
the spring by equnOctal Storm that oldfashioned
people thought nothing Of It adds another mite to the
weight of argument that the constant and gradual thin
ming out and dwelling Of trees and forests all the
country is the of the increase and magnitude of
the freshets that visit u.s. in comparison to those
used to have in olden times. When whole groves are
cut down the face Of the earth changes from prime
val woodland to cultivated fields, we must expect the
waters to rise proportion the monarchs of the for
est disappear The soft spongy ground, longer alb
serbs the rain drops but the water directly into
the nearest stream from brick pavement constribu
ting its small force to produce fearful foundations; while
the silent spring that gushed forth is SILENT and in
summer and times of drouth rivers dry and unnav
gable-they have longer any reserve for dry day
but if gentle shower falls upon the parched EARTH the
streams feel it as scnsitively as barometers.
These results not confined to this State this
tncnt Cause and effect follow each other all the
world In France the floods of the river Rhone and the
nund:tiOns Of Lyons could all be accounted forthe for
ests i'll that part Of the country had gradually been ex
terminated and when the rains came there woods

 Tine superiority Uf old Ruck Salt for packing pork is so we'll understood by experienced persons, that no a'gGreiit is necessa:S to cohvice theih of the ftct. There are cthcrs however. who inconsiderate ly use new T. l. Salt from which water taay bs pressed as .m sponge. the pores being full of '' bitter water. causing the brine to be weak and hracksh. giving the pork flavor decidedly repag- ni,nt to the taste No Salt is fit for packing pork unless it Is siiy and hard Reel or Neneguela Salt is ,hc test for pork irst, because it is made near CT the equator. ill l"tituoe 3, where the water is more strongly impn gnated with salt, and sec'nd, because che actiun of the sun is more powerful on the lssi,S thus erins it more dry, pure, and of greater strength and 1t is more free from t,e than any other. Turks Island and Iaagua are sitiated about lG}0 miles tp the nortlAof Venezuela ia fati tu,te 2 aud the Salt made at these islaads is hfe- ror t., that ot Venezuela, hecaure the scst-water B not 80 strongly impregnated with salt, owing tO the nu,naro,ls which fl, m the land. and the pn~er- tul rlius wiiicl freshen the sea and bring farther north. the effect of the sun is not so poweriuh-- These facts render it plain even to the comprrhen. sion of a child, why the Salt made at Turk Island aud Irayua is not strong as hard as that made some ten degrees farther soath, where pure salt wa ter and the extreme heat of the sun combined pro duce a more perfect article. Another prv0f7 "f the correctness of the above remarks, be found ih the fact that there is shiinka,e of at least per icent. tn Turks Island and Inpgua Salt after the same is raked--while the shrnkmge on venezuela Salt is comparatively nothing, proving that the brine made of NEW Turks Isla q and Inagua con- t;snS large Der centage of hrackish or bitter wa- ter, which posse. m deserving qualities, but the contrary, hures the article intended to be sa- ve,l.
 The above remarks do not apply in fu'l force to Salt made at Turks Island or Inagua, which has the advantage uf age, drainage and slrnkage. yet the Salt made at those islands, with all the advan- tages named, is greatly inferior to old Rock Salt. We therefore, while dealing in every description of Sat, recommend for Polk packing, old Rock or Vonrzu~la Salt as Icing preferable to any other. Es5' The suh1riiers extensively engaged in grinding Rock Salt for Family and Dairy use. and a remittance of one dollar and six cents ly mail or otherwise will cure the delivery ut any Raiiroad station, within 30 miles of New Haven, one hukhel of grounl Salt, flee of freight The bag in which it is forwarded will be received back at sixteen cents
