The Crops.

The Norfolk Herald says: Harvest.
ing has commenced, and We learn from
planters in different sections of Norfolk,
Princess Anne. Nansemond, and the ad.
joining counties, that the yield and qualiy
of the wheat is far beyond their expecta

The St. Mary's Beacon says:
We hear Of eighty acre fields of wheat
into which the hogs have been turned -
In many cases-one in this neighborhood
the wheat has been cut for the straw a.
lone, and without any view to its being
tbreshed. Several specimens of the new
crop have been left at our Office, and we
are within bounds when we state that it
will not weigh 40 lbs to the bushel.

An Item for Housekeepers.

At the last meeting of the Cincinnati
Horticultural Society, Mr.. Laboyteux
made an interesting statement Of the
method he had seen adopted for keeping
gooseberries for winter use, and which is
valuable at this season of the year. Mr..
Laboyteux said the berries are picked
from the bush at midday, when perfectly
dry, aud Immediately bottled in glass
bottles, corked and sealed with wax; the
bottles are then placed (top DOWN in dry
sand, so as to exclude the light, and kept
cool. The fruit is not cooked or sugared
uor is it expedient to remove the stem or
bloom, as in removing them the berry is
liable to be wounded and the moisture
exudes. IN this way this fruit has been
successfully kept throughout the winter
for table use. The same method bad
likewise been tried with the currant, and
with the most gratifying success-the
berries being found sound in February,
and their favor uuimpaired.

Turpentinc and Plaster for Rnrs

There is no use boasting about hunting
lions, tigers, elephants aud rbinoceroses

Woman Whipping by a Catholic Priest

Great excitement has prevailed this
week in Delaware County Pennsylvania,
iu consequence of woman named Joan,
ma Conner having been cruelty whipped
by Roman Catholic Priest. 1t appears
that the woman being refractory be or
dered ber to kneel, and then whipped her
with whip made Of twisted wire. and
afterwards ordered her to bathe herself
with salt and water. Not being able to
endure the pain, she communicated the
facts to her sister, and subsequently, IN dc
affidavit of them before Mr.. Baldwin JUS
tice of the Peace. 1t is not mentioned
whether the Priest has been arrested. 1t
is stated that the priest whipped the wo-
man for marrying Protestant husband.
1t is further stated that it is nothing un-
common for him to whip men, women and
children, whenever they displease him.

THE WORST OF ALL THE IsMs.

"Don't talk to me about your political
'isms," said facetious old valetudinari-
an, 81 tell you there's no ism on earth. SO
bad as Rheumatism" The venerable
sufferer was right. St. Lawrence's grid
iron or Quatimozi pallet of fire was
not more emphatically bed of torment
than the couch of the martyr to Rheuma-
tism. 1t is generally considered by the
faculty one of the most painful of mala'
dies, and it certainly does resist all other
remedies with extraordinary pertiDacity.
Skill and science, however, in this age of
progress seem to master all opposition,
and even this painful disease entrenched
among the muscles, and interknit as it
we're with the sinews and tcndons of our
frames, is compelled to yield to the cura-
tivesthey have provided. 8
We have it on unquestionable authori-
ty-the testimony of patients themselves
that Rheumatism, however deeply seat
ed, may be cured by the regular and per-
sistent application of Holloway's OiDt-
ment. This, we feel assured. will be vel
come Intelligence to thousands of suffer
ers, bed ridden by the disease or limping
with stiffened joints along the pathway to
the tomb. In the climate where the
quicksilver sometimes make leap Of
thirty degrees up or down, the complaint
is Of course prevalent one, and in our new
settlements at the West, along the alluvial
borders of our great rivers, in the hemiock
swarps of the South, and in all low and
damp locations, few persons reach the age
of forty years without rheumatic vista
ton. 1t is clear, therefore, that prepa-
ration which will afford immediate relief,
and effect eventually thorough cure Of
the complaint. must be Of especial value
to the people Of this country. We can,
not reasonably doubt, in veiw of the we'll
attested statements which have been laid
before US, sustained as they are by cir
cumstances within our own knowledge,
that the Ointment referred to will effect
that object, and among all the benefits
which the discoveries of that celebrated
physicion and phylanthropist have con-
fered upon mankind, this is certainly not
the least important. Many an industri-
Gus tiller of the soil, whose services are
needed in the field, is at this m omcnt lam
gushing on bed OF sickness; the hands
that should guide the plow or grasp the
spade, rendered powerless By Rheuma-
tism. Many toiler in every branch of
productive labor is similarly situated, and
We can magiDe with what joy these suf-
ferers would bail the means OF immedi,
ate cure. To all such we feel justified in
recommending this balsamic remedy, the
application of which, with the aid Of a
few doses of Holloway's Pills to regulate
the internal organs, would, we feel a>sur-

A Philadelphia correspondent of the
N. Y. Tribune thus ailudes of the candi-
dates spoken to for Supreme Court in
Pennsylvania,
PHILADELPHIA, juno 90, 1858.
Your well-informed correspondent "Ju-
niata," in bis letter Of the ] l5tb inst, has
named Judge Pierson or John NJ. Read,
Esq. as the probable candidate of the u
nited Opposition of this State for Justice
of the Supreme Court. 1t is understood,
however, that there are other equally
we'll known and prominent names that
will be presented to the State Convention
for that Office. Among them will be
those Of Joseph j. Lewis, Esq, of Ches-
ter County, the candidate of the Oppo,
sition last year for the same Office, a law
yer of unquestioued ability. standing in
the front rank of bis professions; and the
Hon J. Pringle Jones, Judge of the Com
mon Pleas of Berks County.
Whether Mr.. Read or MIR. Lewis, or
some one else equally worthy, is the osu-
has the advantage of residing in this city,
which is the home Mr.. Porter, the oppo-
sing candidate, Mr.. Lewis, is sufficiently
near for all useful purposes. He was,
moreover, We believe, the counsel Of
Passmore Williamson in his suit against
the late Judge Kane; and by reason Of
the Registry Law which be sent to the
Legislature two years ago, bis friends af.
firm he would be more acceptable to the
American element in the combined oppo.
sition.
The prospect now is bright. It only
mains for US to harmonic in The com
ing Convention, and next October will
teach the Federal Government the integ,
rity of Pennsylvania freemen.

received in Boston from one of the most
distinguished physicians in France, says
that upon consultation by the leading
doctors in that Empire relative to Seua-
tor Sumner, who is now in Paris, it has
been decided to perform an operation u
pom tbe back, for the purpose of produc-
ing q counter irritation. The operation
is that of ca aDterization-the burning of
the flesh and muscle to the spinal column
While the operation is usually very se-
we're, it is said that it can now be perform
ed BY the aid of ether, without producing
the slightest pain. 1t is believed thatthe
operation will prove of the greatest ad-
vantage to the patient.
