"The Jerks'-A New Phase of the Re

# kE vlvAi. Ne
In Illinois, the phenomenon known in
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Kentucky, about sixty years ago, as the
clerks" has made its appearance. 1t
first appeared at protracteds meeting
among the Methodists Of Indian Grove,
and afterwards at Avoca, the contagon
having been spread by five or six jerkers,
whom the ministers had brought along
with them from the former place. From
the account Of the matter in the Illinois
Baptist. the scenes Of the latter place have
been grotesque enough: h'ad 1a1
"From fifty to a hundred were jerking
at the same time.7 Their hands, feet and
shoulders, were violently distorted into
apparently the most painful shapes and
positions. The women's bonnets would
fly of their heads as if they had explo-
ded, and their hair becoming released
from the restraint Of comb or band, would
crack like coach whips. Even unbeliev-
ers were attacked, and men who tried to
resist the impulse by folding their arms
around their bodies, would lose all con
troll over their muscles, and all 60 to jerk
ing like the rest" .,.4..

GREAT AND GLoRrous.-During the
celebrated administration Of Martin Van
Buren,. says cotemporary. the Semi.
noles were hunted with blood hounds. and
every free and enlightened citizen Of this
great republic who resided in the neigh
borhood Of Florida, went cunning after
Semino!cs with as much freedom as he
went after snlpes. With occasional inter-
walls Of peace. the great Seminole war
has continued up TO the present time
At the end Of every few months, special
bulletins issued from the War Office, have
informed the admiring world that Gen.
So-and- so With wonderful courage and
prowess had succeeded, in capturing SO
many sqnaws. SO many papooses. and SO
many wigwams. Colonel or Captain
Brown was brevetted and the war went
on. 1t remained for the glorious admin
istration Of James Buchanan to bring this
war to close and stop a further effusion
of blood. Tits, officially announced that
the Seminole war is over, Billy; Bow
legs and 81 others have surrendered. -
This is plobably the whole tribe, although
there may be a few squaws left YET
II This Is another achievement for Mr..
Buchanan, and it comes very opportune-
ly to strengthen his hands for the ardn-
Gus struggle. against the Mormons and
their wives. The President in his pride
Of power may point to the achievements
Of his army against Billy Bowiegs aud Fl
other Indians and. feeling with Lear

Gloomy Reports from Iowa

Before disobeying the injunction OF the
old saying, .better let well enough alone,
our people in the middle sections OF the
country, who annually get a raging
Western fever,' had better, before lcav-
ing, learn little Of how much they would
probably better their condition by going
upon the cheap but undeveloped lands OF
the new territories. The experience Of
an Iowa farmer, published in the Western
Farmer, may aid them in reaching mature
conclusions on the subject. He says:
We have warm, rainy weather now !;
mud nearly knee deep. Everybody is
complaining Of hard times. Wheat is
worth but forty cents per bushel, deliver
ed on the railroad at Wilton, and that in
rags at fifteen per cent, discount. There
has been good wheat sold in Upton, with
in few days past, at twenty cents per
bushel in gold. A number Of my neigh.
bors have sold large part Of god corn
at from ten to twelve and half cent per
bushel, and as good corn as most Of i c
crop in the country. Corn is heating ana
spelling in almost every part Of Iowa. II
have conversed with number Of owners
Of threshing mach ines, and they say that
the wheat Of Cedar County will not quite
average. for the last year. twenty bush
els per acre. Merchants and creditors
are suing and selling property for a mere
song. Some are giving up their land af-
ter the first payment has been made and
considerable Improvement done. Some
farmers are paying five per cent. per
month for money. There will not be as
much wheat sowed this year, as last.--
Some are going to quit almost entirely
for the present year. They think it will
not pay to raise wheat at the present pri-
ccs, or at the prospect Of future rates.

Another Change.

The Legislature has made another
change in this Judicial District.
The county of Seneca is to constitute
the first sub b-division. Judge SENEY, con-
sequently, will hold no court outside OF
that county.
The counties Of Wyandot and Craw-
ford are to constitute the second sub.di-
vision. A Judge will have to be elected
for this division, at the fall election.
Wood, Hancock and Putnam counties
will constitute the third sub DIVISION
Judge WHITELsY will preside over their
courts.
The law. provides, however, that un.
til the second Tuesday of February next
the present Judges shall hold their sever
al terms Of Courts of Com mou Pleas and
District Courts, the same as il this act
had not been passed.
When the Legislature concluded that
Judge Whiteley was doing the work Of
two men and divided the district, the
first time. the people were somewhat as.
tonished but what will be their aston
ishment when they are told that the dis
trict has been divided again, and that
Seneca County, which is said to be loca.
ted somewhere in the suburbs Of the great
city Of Tiffin, is now district in and Of
herself. Three men to do the work which
Judge Whiteley has been heard to say
can easily be done by one man
But, then, we suppose there is an aspi
rant for judicial honors somewhere in the
counties Of Wyandot and Crawford, and
he had to be provided for. What does
the Legislature care for expenses when
the "dear people" have to foot the bill !?

American Wines.

The Missouri Wine Company has offered
premiums for samples Of the best pure native
wines OF this country, of the vintage Of 1851
The rapid progress which wine culture is ma
king in this country is one of the best guaran-
tees against the serious evils Of intemperance,
and this progress cannot fail, ere long, to give
cheap wines. American champagne is gradu.
ally obtaining the reputation of being the
purcst etfervescing wine in the world, and if.
as Mr.. Longworth says, we have five thous-
and varieties OF native grapRs-all Of them
free from the oidium, or grape disease which
is spreading over every corner of Europe-it
will be seen that the West has in reserve an
enormous field Of productiveness to fall back
investment for capital is required.
There is an absurd idea prevalent that wine
cannot be proitably raised in this country
that labor is too dear, and European opposi
tion too great. On the contrary, wine raising
is at this instant the most profitable branch
OF agriculture in America. 1t will pay from
one to three hundred dollars an acre, yielding
higher profit on capital, skill and labor in
vested, than any other planting
The wines which can be most easily raised
are, like those OF Germany, light and very
innocuous. We often hear it said that there
is no drunkenness in Franco, but drunkenness
is even rarer among the wne-drinking Ger,
mans of the Rhine-Gau. I:ebig, the great
chemist, declares that these people, far from
being injured by their wine, owe to it the
health for which they nre so famous, there
being 70 place in the world whero there is so
little demand for apothecaries' wares. But
the reader will reeolect that these wines are
very different from those OF othsr nations, be-
ing no more Intoxicating TO those familiar
with them than common claret.
When attention is moro generally devoted
to wine-culture, we shall probably see wine
as cheap here as cider, and strychnne whs-
key and fighting brandy at discount. FIX.
cessive use of ardent spirits is great cause
OF national suffering, and anything which will
do away with it, or modify it, can hardly fail
to be regarded as q blessing.

Sow CLoyKR SrKp Now.--We have found
no more successful mode Of sowing clover, or
clover aud Timothy, upon winter grain, than
to choose still morning, when the ground IS
little frozen, and scatter the seed broadcast.
IL falls in the open frost-cracks, and when
tlawng takes place, is beautifully and uni
formly covered near the surface and is almost
sure to gorminate. A good crop OF clover,
thus sowed, acts partly ass mulch to the grain
roots, yields supply of Fall feed and is
most admirable to. be turned under when
"kuee high" the next year, as one Of the best
manures that can be applied to nny soil.-

Few THINGS WHICH EyERBopY OUGHT TO
kSow.-A quart of peas, sown in shall box
fifteen inches wide by eighteen long, at any
time OF the year. and eat off when about four
or five inches high, and boiled like spinach,
with little salt, makes most delicious dish.
The tops Of Jerusalem artichokes, cut off
about six inches long, and boiled like other
greens, make capital dish, which partakes,
IN some degree, of the flavor of the root. Boil
ed water-cress also makes a wholesome and
delicious dish. 1t must not, however. be
overlooked for impaired constitutions, it is
iayaiuabls. In April and May, late potatoes
should always be peeled some ten or twelve
hours, and STEPPED incold spring water before
lhey are cooked. This is great improve
meht 1t makes the potato nearly as good as
those dug in October. The proper way TO

SENATOR STRAUB voted to sell the State
canals to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
Company. He gave good reasons for voting
in favor Of the bill. lie said Schuylkil coun-
ty lay on the direct line Of the road from the
West. In short time all the lumber and
timber in this county must come from that
region, without which the mines Of Schuylkill
in a few years, must in measure, be aban-
doned iron being too expensive for mining
purposes. The price of provisions, moreover,
was higher in his district than in any other
locality in the United States, and the COM
pletion of the road would'reduce their cost.
lie further stated that the reciprocity treaty
with England, and the large amour. of bust
ness drawn off by the Pennsylvania Railroad
was ruinous to New York. as it carried the
Canada lake trade down the st. Lawrence
and tue Western business to Philadelphia.
