which states that Capt Hartstene and his officers and
men will return to The United States in the English
war steamer " Reributon."
"The Queen treated Hartstene with marked atten-
ton at dinner and in the drawing room. Afterwards
she came up to him and said she wished 10 talk to
him, and remained in familiar conversation for an
hour. On leaving the Isle of Wight there was a
great display of enthusiasm the ship passed out OF

cheers We were escorted by steam yacht, which
is always in attendance on the ship, and the fine
steam frgate Retribution, which was also acting as
ali escort, and were towed by government steam
er. An Admiralty messenger is also continually in
attendance the officers. On arriving at Sphead
the Ships saluted and on entering Portsmouth har-
Dor the transports lined with people, cheering
and waving handkerchiefs the military bands play
ing national airs and the battery saluting OLD Vic
tory manned her rigging and cheered There never
was such enthusiasm and exhibition of heartfelt feel
ing II is the event of the day, and is in every ones

THE Cur WORM NeSsrs. Bdit0rs-As this Is
the season when this destructive pest to the farm
er commits mis- depredations, it may not be amiss
to give some directions for efectually destroying
them. l have in my garden several rows Of Mex
lean white flint corn, very thrifty, nearly
three feet high, but every inch of its growth is
disputed by the cut worm. In watching their
habits, | learn that they work ostly in the
morning, and are then the top of the stalk,
on the inner side They NAV often be seen by
looking into the top of the spre If not by press
ing gently below, raising the hand slowly. As
the manipulation is continued, they will run
nimbly up in sight, and may be instantly crushed
without injury to the corn. II they have not
eaten too far into the heart Of the stalk, it will in
a little time recover from the injury sustained.
East Brookfeld, July II, 1857. AGR1coLA.
We apprehend our correspondent has made
mistake in the name of the worm he speaks Of
The worm is almost universally known as the
"cut worm," we believe, is slow .motioned,
thick, dark dull brown worm, which burrows in
the ground during the day time, and. in the night
or very early in the morning, comes out, and
cuts, clear off, young corn, beans, and other
succulent yegetatisn. He then retires just be-
low the surface, generally within two or three
inches Of the place where he has done his mis-
chief, and may be readily pOked out, any time in
the early part of the day. When thus elected he
is found bent up, his two extremities nearly
touching, and quite disinclined to locomotlon.
The worm spoken of by our correspondent, we
take to be what is, frequently, if not generally,
called the "corn borer." He enters corn and
other kinds of vegetation by round hole at the
side, and then works up and down in the centre
of the stalk, eating it all out, if not molested,
and destroying it. He makes sad work with
dahlias, of which he is very fond. He is much
more slender than the cut worm, and unlike him,
is very active and sprightly. He is also light
colOred, variegated with dark. We believe the
treatment recommended by our correspondent is
we'll adapted to his case.

A workman recently purchased, in a
small provincial town in Germany, ten pounds
of powdered sugar, but on examining it he
found that the grocer had mixed with it at
least pound of lime. On the following day
he advertised in the public prints-"Should
the grocer who sold me a pound of lime along
with nine pounds of sugar, not bring to me
the pound of sugar he cheated ME of, l shall
forthwith disclose his name in the papers,"
The next day the workman received nine
pounds of sugar from different grocers, who
had similar actions on their consciences,
and feareed publicity.
One of the greatest novelties of this
progressive age" was the celebration of the
anniversary of Independence within the walls
of the Indiana State Prison, at Jacksonville,
on the Fourth. Speeches, toasts, dances,
foot races, and singing, were enjoyed under
proper restraints, and the orator lof the day
confined himself to his subject and the prison
walls.
The seventy eighth anniversary of the
storming Of Stony Point, and the laying
of the corner stone of monument to the
memory OF General Wayne, were celebrated
at Stony Point, Orange Co., N. Y, on Thurs
day. From six to eight thousand persons were
present and united in the festivities of the &C.
casion. Hon. Amasa J. Parker, of Albany,
was the orator of the day.
Each hundred persons in Massachu-
sets send through the post one thousand one
hundred two letters in year, each hundred
in New York, eight hundred and forty three
letters: but in North Carolina, only one hnnd-
red and fifty mine; and in Tennessee, one
hundred and eighty nine being less than
two letters per person on an average in year,
while in New York and New England there
are from eight to ten to each person.

HE NEGRO CITIZENSHIP CASE IN CHICAGO.
"A case involving the right of anegro to sue
IN the United States Courts, was recently ar i.
gued in the .. S. Circuit Court at Chicago,
before Judges Mclean and Drummond. The
points of the case, and the decision of Judge
Mclean, are thus given by the Chicago Times
of 10th inst:
"The counsel for the negro IN the present
case argued that plea in the abatement cut
ting off all consideration of the merits of the
case must upon its face exclude all possibility
of any right of action. In the bred Scott
case, the plea averred that the plaintiff was
an African, of pure African Blood, whose an
cestors were brought to the United States and
sold as slaves. In this case there Is no aver
ment that Mitchell or his ancestors were ever
brought to this country from Africa. or were
ever held or sold as slaves. Upon this point
of the sufhciency of the plea under the ruling
of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case
the argument turned.
Yesterday mornins, Judge Mclean deliver
ed his judgment, sustaining the demurrer,
on the ground that the plea was different in
substance and in legal effect from that sus-
tanned by the Supreme Cont in the bred
Scott case, and was therefore insufficient.
Judge Drummond expressed no opinion,
nor did he say anything whatever, except
that If the counsel desired if they could OBJ
tain certificate of division of opinion on
the part of the Court, and thus carry it to the
Supreme Court. Judge Mclean was re.
quested tn allow his opinion to be published,
but he declined, saying that it would appear
in the next volume of McLean's Circuit
Reports

BORDER RUFFIANs CoURTINe FREE STATE

There lives in Kanzas City very rich old
bachelor who is quite fond of the society of the
ladies. Some Of our Lawrence girls happening TO
be at Kanzas City, he obtained an introduction to
them, and, in the course of his conversation, re-
marked that the only lway to have permanent
peace is for the men Of Missouri to go up and
marry the Lawrence girls.

CHURCH REPAIRINe.-MesSrs.E Editors The
Congregational house of worship, in Dudley, has
lately undergone thorough repairs. The paint
ing and papering was left to the judgment and
taste OtMr. A. H. Newton of your city, in the
employ of Firth & Nichols.
Mr.. Newton evidently has had much expert
enee in church repairing. The side walls of the
church are papered with fresco paper, plain, with
pillars at suitable distances, and the wall over
head is papered in keeping and tsste with the
fresco paper. The harmony between the paper
ing, painting, and granting, is perfect.
Not only do our own citizens approve of the
judgment aud taste displayed, but many from out
of town. So much is said, that we gladly recon-
mend Mr.. Newton to those who are about to re-
pair their church edifces, and, especially, if they
wish the work to be done well, to be done 10
taste, and il they wish to avoid undue expense.
