ARNolp's PASSAGE Up THE KEsSKpEc.

We extract the following account of
A'nold's journey up the kcnncbcc, from
Mills biography of that distinguished
patriot aud traitor, just published 10y f.
y. Libby Il Co., Boston. The expedition
consisted of eleven hundred men in al
composing thirtccn different companies:
ten companies of New England muskct-
GERS, and three companies Of rificmcn
from Virginia and Pennsy ylyania The
men were shipped from Ncwburyport to
the mouth OF the kennebcc riycrin eleven
transports. Gu arriving at pittstor. np
positc Gardiner, they found two hundred
hattcaux, whose construction had been
previously provided for. ready to be used
to convey them up the river, and the mcr,
and provisions from the transports were
placed on board of them at once. They
next all met together at Fort Western ,on
.hc cast side of the kcnncbcc river. in
Augusta. From this point Arnold pushed
forward a party Of half dozen III II, to
explore the regions of lake Megantc aud
collect what leliiscncc they could from
the Indians; and another party OF the
same number vas sent to explore the
sources, currents and distances of Dead
River. Then the army itself started. =

SOAP SUBS. Save the suds from the sink
and laundry, if you do not want it for pur-
poses of irrigation let it be conveyed to
manure heaps or mixed with materials Of
compost. No article ola liquid nature pos.
scsses moro powerful allmentary properties,
and its cconomzing will be found source of
considerable profit to amy one who will prop
crly use it. 1t contains the food Of plants
in II State Of solution. and therefore is pre-
pared to act at once, and with clcrgy BY
mixing it with sods, chip manure, muck, re-
fuse straw, green vegetable matter, or indeed
amy kind of decomposcd rubbish, and allow
ing the whole to itrmcnt slowly, most excel
lent fertilizer for Indian corn may be prepar-
ed, and one that will bring forward the crop
with Greater NiSor than almost any other
article that can BE- namel. It is also very
valuable ASA manure for cnlmiftrots vegc-
tables, melons, squashcs, cucumhers, &c.
FAILING FErIrs.-rhe apples, pears, and
plums are beginning to drop plentifully
from the trees Every one that thus drops
is unsound, and has fallen from disease
We are convinced that the increased tlestruc.
tion year by year caused by the curculio and
grub, Is mainly owing to the excellent
accommodations they are permitted to occupy
III disturbed in the fallen fruit which lies
upon the ground. The progeny of insects
the next year do ample credit in the way of
numbers, to the neglect which allowed their
unlistarbod increase. The ps-sty is the
best place for all fruit that falls diseased from
the tree. The incipicnt curculio that finds
It's way in the recesses Of an apple to the
domains of Monsieur Gruntcr, will never cut
apples hereafter.

TRUE NoBILITY.-If it be an cnnobling
fact that one can trace lineage through sue
ccssion Of illustrious noblcs, how much
must be the dignity which rests on one who
can claim to child, not of the royalty that
is doomed to die, but of the King of kings,
the everlasting Father, who is throned on
the riches and the glory of the universe -
1t is this conviction that dins the splendor
of an earthly crown, and sheds halo Of
beauty and of dignity upon the head of the
orphan and the hovel of the peasant.

"FuG1rIvE SLAVES AT THE NoKTH.-The
Northern people seem, at last, to be arri-
wing at the conclusion that they have
too frequently been made the dupes of
pretended fugitive slaves" Hear the
New York Tribune, which has so long
been eagerly swallowing every ridicu-
lous story set afoat by fugitive slaves.
It says:
The trade or profession of a fugitive
from slavery has proved SO lucrative that
quite a number Of black and copper-col-
ored scoundels are prosecuting it on
speculation, some of them I'VE think in
partnership with white villains, who cor
roberate their lies and share their gains.
We very often receive letters narrating
the arrival in this or that Northern neigh
borhood Of an alleged fugitive, who tells
long and startling yarns about his escape
from bondage in some heroic or wonder
full way, his arrival in this city, what
was said to and done for him here by so
and so, etc.,-much of which we happen
to know to be utterly false. One of
these black vagabonds has pretended in
various places to have been the slave of
the Hon. John B Thompson, United
States Senator form Kentucky, and has
sometimes added that he was a left
handed son or nephew of that Senator.
