To KEEP HANS IN SuMMER-O
good way is to put layer Of coarse salt in
the bottom Of barrel, then lay in ham
and cover it with salt, and then another,
aud so on, till the barrel is filed. OF
course, the salt should be dry, ard The
barrel should be kept in a Dry place.
Another and better way, IS to sew up
each ham in coarse, cloth bag, and then
give the whole coating of whitewash, and
hang up the bag in smoke house or any
dark, cool or dry place.
A sure way of keeping hams fresh, but
not neat way, is to bag them as before
mentioned, and bury the bag in the ash
hole, taking ont when wanted.
We have known them to keep very well
by simply wrapping them in several thick
aesses of newspaper, and then hanging
them up in 40 open garnet.

his pro-slaYery associates did not foresee
that il would lead to what is now fact,
viz; that pro-slavery courts can give no
opinion in fugitive slave cases which any
man of sense aeW respect. The Slave
Arehy is case in point. The supreme
court of that State decided that he was a
slave, and should be so returned to his

ANOTHER APPLICATION oE IIIE DRIED SCOTT
DOGMA.

The Supreme Court of Virginia, in two
eases just decided by it, has declared that
wills which give to slaves the choice to
continue slaves OF 10 be emancipated are
thereby made null and void. The deci-
sion is based upon the new dogma of the
bred Scott case, that slaves have no legal
right of choice. In both cases the wills
had been declared valid 10y the Inferior
courts, but their decision were reversed b
the supreme court. The liberty of nearly
$50 negroes is affected by these decisions,
and probably of thousands of others, eman-
cipated under similar conditions. 1t is
one Of the darkest features Of slavery that
the death bedlcpentanee of so many slave
holders is defeated of It's object by their
avarieious heirs, who find the courts too

DECISION oF JUDGE McARTHUR
In the Case Of S. IL Both as. j. 4
and S. p. r. A5lemaa.
. McARTHUR

Judge McArthur announced his decision
this morning, in the cases of Sherman ID
Booth against Jonathan E. Arnold and
Stephen V. Il. Alderman. These suits
were brought by s. NJ. Booth, as our read
ers are aware, to recover possession Of his
press and other property, seized on execn-
tions issued from the United S ates Dis
trict Court, on the judgment recovered by
Garland against him, for alleged violations
Of Fugitive Slave Law. Judge Macarthur
said thar the constitufionality Of that law
had been passed on by our SupreneCourt.
They had discharged Mr.. Booth from i'm
prisonnent after he had been indicted,
convicted and sentenced under that act. =
And the same principle which they then
decided, would apply to these suits and re,
qalre bis property to be released when
held under executions issued under the
same law. 1t had been intimated hat the
act might be operative in some Of lis pro-
visions though invalid as to others. But
the court had decided it TO be unconstitu
tional because it did not provide trial BY
jury, for the person seized; and as the
recapture Of the person seized constituted
the whole object Of the law, if unconslitu-
lionai in that, he could not conceive how
it could be operative in any Particular
He said he dissented from many positions
Of the Court, but he should follow its de-
cision from regard to proper judicial sub
ordination. He accordingly directed

The BLooMGR Dress REFoRMERs.-
A correspondent of the Davenport Gazette,
writing from Cortland County, N. Y,
June 3oth says:
'I4ast Thursday and Friday, the Ma
tional Dress Reform Association held its
third Annual Convention 10 this place.
There were about one hundred and fifty
women present in Boomer costume, and
lawyers, doctors, professors, editors, etc,
participated in the doings. / believe some
eight or ten different States were represon-
ted. Just think Of it-oae hundred end
fifty "Blo2Daers" together! They were Of
every age, from childhood to grey hairs
homely. handsome; smart, stupid; tall,
short; enthusiastic deliberate; tasty, SLOW
emily. There seemed to he three leading
patterns of the Bloomer pants; one style
WAS loose, in the sailors fashions; another
WAS the full Turkish style gathered in a
ruffie about the ankle; and still another
was close tight legs, like some of your
shanghai dandics occasionally get on
The length Of skirts ranged from two to
three inches above the ankle, to as much
above the knee; and there was just as
much variety III the materials, trimmings,
and tasteful arrangement of the entire
dress, as you would find in any gathering
of women. Silks, calicoes, velvets. lawns,
linens, delaines, alpacas, ginghams
fact, almost every fabric, might be found
there. Nearly all of them wore their hair
cut short about the neck, like school girls,
with various style of hat, trimmed to the
wearer's taste; and walked in CATERS, slip
pers, boots, kipa, etc, as the case might be.

REVOLUTION IN AGRIcULTuRE.-TH
New TRACTION ENGINE.--ln late mum
Der Of the London Illustrated News, our
attention was directed to new instru-
ment destined to be of great Importance
to those who farm it on "a large scale on
our Western praires, and wherever labor
is scarce. The instrument IS called "Bra-
dy's Improved Traction Engine" and will
perform those parts in agriculture for
which horse power is now used, such as
drawing the reaper, blowing, drawing the
heaviest burdens on common roads, or up
deelyites, &c. For the last two mention
ed purposes, many Of these engines are
now Icing constructed in England.
One Of them was attached to three
p!ows in one frame to test its usefulness,
and in ten hours i satisfactorily turned
the soil of six acres, at a cost of less than
one dollar per acre.
Their capacity for drawing may be in.
ferred to he incapable Of being exceeded,
when it is known that load Of ten tons
was drawn up gradient from ! to IL,
returning down the hill with the same
lead
Steam is raised in forty minutes suAi-
eient to drive threshing machine, set
of plows, saw mill, and for all purposes
for which it is desired. Two men are suf.
ficient to attend to the engine while in ac
ton. It's weight is six TONS and the great
est depth to which it sinks in common soil,
is three fourths of an inch.
For warlike purposes, it will be of meal
culable benefit, and the English Govern
meat have already contracted for large
number, with the Intention Of using them
to convey troops, supplies and heavy ord
nance to different parts Of the Kingdom.
The Chicago Democrat rightly remarks
that they would be invaluable upon the
prairie lands in that State, and hopes that
a traction engine will soon be seen blowing
the beautiful yet TO great extent, uncul
tiyated prairies of the Prairie State.
