LUCKY AND UNLUCKY DAYs-Even in this enlipbt

lucky for transaetng business upon And the absur-
dy Is carried so far that it is considered very
unlucky to pare your nails on Sunday; and if you
do it on Friday, you are sure to come to SORROW
Friday is, par excellence, the black letter day of the
seven, and il is astonishing how general is the preu
dice against that day. Farmers dislike the day for
all their operations; merchants will not accept
bills Friday; sailors will not willingly put
rarely ever wedding day, in any class Of society
How bride would shrink with horror from the pro.

Messrs. EDITORS Permit me through the medl
of your excellent paper, TO call tie attention OF
the owners of Goshen Lands to plan which wish
to submit TO their consideration, for the improvement
of the navigation of Goshen Several efforts have
been made with view to drain the Goshen lands,
which have hitherto proved abortive. But should
we despair when we knoaU that it can be accomplish
ed The question then arises how is it to be done
The plan which would suggest is that we petition
the ensuing Legislature 10 pass law taxing every
acre of land under the influence of Goshen Waters
much per acre. say IS, the money to be paid in
the work progresses-each land holder paying while
the work is being performed on his land. Should
any one be unwilling to pay the amount required,
then let their lands be valued by a committee ap-
pointed for that purpose. and taken by the company
doing the work, or any one who will advance the
money. This plan would seem TO be fair and cquit-
able, bearing alone upon those who are benefited.
The beuefts accruing to these land-hoders a~e ir.
calcuIabe, nor they confined to the owners, but
the whole county will be greatly benefited. This
might be easily denonstraed but is not necessary
here. From The source of Goshen to its confluence
is over 90 miles, and will aver age mile in width
Thus, you see, we have 1880 of land, not
surpassed in point of fertility by any in this Slate
not even by the Roanoke lands What vast amount
of wealth here Gas it is almost worthless) nigh
be rendered tributary to the wants Of man. shout,
those interested unite and make more effort.
should be pleased TO hear the suggestions OF others

SOURCE OF FAT.-During the course of the past
year, experiments have been made in France on a
number of ducks, to prove that the fat may exceed
the quantity which could be referred to the food they
were supplied with. Some fed on rice, sub
stance which contains only few parts of fat in a
thousand. Others fed on rice with certain amount
of butter added. At the end of the experiment, the
first were lean when first placed upon the diet
the latter, in lew days, became positively ball of
fat. Other experiments were made en- pigs. 1t was
found as the result of several trials, thai there was
sometimes more fat produced than was contained in
the food on which they were fed. Food which, given
alone, has not the properties of atening when mixed
with a fatty matter acquires the property to an as
tonishing degree; and fattening articles OF food
which do not contain much fat, always abound with
its chemical constituents, the principa of which is
azote, and from whence the fat acquired is certainly
derived
