BOARDING MONEY.

The Paris papers say that remarkable instance
OF the mania for boarding up money has just been
brought to light in the Faubourg st German,
during the process of taking inventory after the
decease OF an old woman, who had for many years
lived in very retired manner in that part of Paris.
W hen the notary, who engaged in this
operation, went down into the cellar to take an
account of what the place contained his attention
was attracted to a small opening just over low
door. This door was opened, and the notary found
himself in presence of immense pile of bags OF
money. In order to take them out and count
their contents, he was obliged to send for nearly
all the clerks Of his Office. There were in the
bags quantity of gold and foreign coins, but
fve-fIanc pieces formed the principal part of this
rich store. Some of the bags completely
rotten, and fell to pieces on being touched The
inventory is not yet completed, but the amount OF
this treasure is estimated at not less than million
The origin of this immense fortune is as follows
about ninety years ago, poor Savoyard boy
from Chamoun came to Paris and engaged himself
in singing and dancing in the Streets and at other
times in sweeping chimneys. At the end of
few years he had saved up little money, and
commenced business on his own account. BY dint
of industry and economy he at length became
wealthy man, married, and at his death left his
widow $4,000 francs year. She scarcely spent
5000 francs year, and the remainder she put into
bags, and threw through the above mentioned
opening into a sort of cup board in the cellar where
these thousands of francs remained until she died,
which occurred at the age of eighty-eight. She
had besides purchased several houses, and was the
owner of the Theatre du Luxembourg. BY her
will she has left 100000 francs to the hOspices
establishments, 10000 francs to her servant, and
some egacles to distant relatives Of her husband,
who still live in Savoy. Her notary and dcone are
instituted her universal legatees."

a CURE FOR SCROFULA-The Cincinnati Com
mercial publishes the following communication
from Nicholas Longworth, the great wine manu-
facturer of that city:
All the papers [ had, giving cure for Scrofula,
have been distributed to persons sending for the
remedy. [ have never heard of a case where it
did not effect speedy cure, and it can III nc case

been applied to old Sores it has also speedily effect
ed perfect cures Put one ounce Of aquatortis in
bowl, saucer; drop i'll it two copper cents-it
will efervesce-leave the in; when the effer-
vescence ceases, add two ounces of strong vinegar
The fluid will be dark green color 1t should
and will smart If too severe, put in little rain
water. Apply it to the sore, morning and eve
ming, by soft brush or rag. Before applying,
wash the sore with water. Its first application,
known to ME, poor girl, sent to our city from
Memphis, to have her leg cut off, as it was feared
she could not stand the operation in that hot eli
mate. She was refused admittance to the Door
house, and was lying on the sidewalk as she could
not even stand up. From her knee to her foot

except strip about two inches wide. She was
laiG on bed and the remedy placed on chair by it.
She could rise up and apply it. In few DAYS her
peace of mind returned, and she declared it was
getting we'll. 1t was supposed it was relief from
the pain only; but when examined fresh flesh was
found growing, and skin over it. She was soon
running about, and would work, which DELAYED the
entire cure, leaving a small sore, which in few
months entirely healed. A young girl with
scrofula in her neck, having a large open hole and
deemed ineurable, became in one month entirely
cured and was after married. | have never
known case where it did not effect a cure.

Mr. Mckinney, plain, Intelligent farmer, In
very moderate circumstances, at whose house VIC
were comfortably entertained, informed that
Mr. Calhoun and family, for many years previous
to his death, sought health and comfort during
the autumn in this secluded valley. He always
spoke of it as the finest mountain region and most
saluhrious climate the continent. Mr. Mex.
detailed many interesting incidents with respect
TO Mr. Calhouns manners and habits, especially
in his intercourse with the rude mountaineers
around him His manners were as plain and sim
pie as theirs, and it is not surprising that they
should manifest the highest admiration of, and
the warmest affection for him. 1t is not the least
attractive trait in the character of this great man.
that he seemed no where else to be so fascinating
as in the family circle, and in familiar intercourse
with his immediate neighbors.
Mr. Mckinney pointed with manifest emotion,
to the stone in his yard from which Mr. Calhoun,
on account Of an injury in his hip, mounted, on L
cool morning in November, the year before his
death, the plain farm horse on which, unattended
he made his last visit to the Valley.
DR. Mitchell found the Blue Ridge at the source
Of the Tuckascgec, 1900 feet higher than the
head of the French Broad, and the point at which
the road crosses the Cullywhec, elevated 100 feet
above the Blue Ridge The Cullywhee gap is
about 1000 feet above the ford of the Tuckasegee
at Webster. This fact will enable the reader to
form an idea of the comparative elevation of Ham
burg and the character fthe falls where the river
forces its way through the mountain.
SO little attention has this romantic region at
tracted that it is more than doubtful whether three
citizens Of the State, east Of Salisbury, have
climbed the Chimney top and descended to the
Falls of Tuckasegcc. 1t it by no means certain
that the remark may not be extended to the scrcn-
ty.fre counties cast of the Blue Ridge.

RED AND WHITE WHEAT.-The following
rather curious and Ito farmers) interesting relation,
we find in the Chambersburg (Penn.) Spirit
Have our Virginia and North Carolina farmers
noticed anything of the sort in their wheat fields
If they have. We should like to hear from them
The paragraph is as follows:
From what we hear from our country friends
and see in our exchange papers, it appears that the
weev confines its destructive operations exclusive
ly to white wheat. In some instances, where part
of a field was in white wheat and the remainder in
red, the white destroyed whilst the red sus-
tanned no injury whatever. In Lancaster county,
many Of the farmers intend to raise red wheat alto
geher till the weevi disappears. In some parts of
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, the wheat crop
was almost entirely destroyed for several years in
succession by the wcevil. If it's ravages can be
stopped by cultivating red wheat only our farmers
will certainly do we'll to give the white wheat the
goby till the weevil disappears.

THE WATCH BUSINESS.

The establishment of a complete mandatory
for the production of American watches of uniform
and unfailine excellence time-keepers, marks an
era in our mechanical progress which promises to
revolutonize the watch trade of the world
After wears of continued and costly experiment,
a complete and comprehensive watch mandatory
has been made permanent at Waltham, Mass,
where patent levers, adjusted chronometer balan-
ces, and unequaled timing pieces and movements
are produced by the aid of machinery and intelll-
gent skill that will in all respects compare with
the finest work of the most famous artisans OF Eu-
rope The highest perfection Of form with the
completest simplicity OF parts have been adopted,
so that durability and reliability are the uniform
and necessary characteristics of the Naltham
watches.
Hitherto England and Switzerland have been the
watchmakers of the world but it seems that
Watham, Mass, has surpassed these old world
competitors, and with machinery, SYSTEM and IN
telligent skill, unaided by protection of-any kind
already produces the most thoroughly exact time
keepers at about half the cost of the best foreign
watches.
All imported watches are made by hand, the
movements and parts of movements by different
persons and at different times and places; and each
watch is finally finished with special reference to
itself-evcry part being made to suit only one
place, and the whole movement fitted to case
which will suit no other movement-no two
watches being in all respects approximately alike
A large majority of these foreign watches are
worthless, time-keepers, and constant bill OF
expense to their owners, $4,000, 900 being
annually thrown away in vain attempts to improve
them.
The American watches arc constructed upon the
most scientific and approved principles, designed
to secure uniformity, simplicity, durability, cheap
ness and unvarying perfection Of movement, and
are sold with certificate OF warranty in all cases,
for ten years, signed by the manufacturers.
The specific advantages Of the Waltham watches
to dealers and wearers, as compared with import
ed watches, will be most readily apprehcnded by
the following eEumerations, to wit: Each watch
and each part Of every watch, Of given style, is
the unvarying counterpart Of every ether watch of
the same style, that any single part is exactly
fitted, and may be transposed indiscriminately to
make up any one Of any number Of watches. The
movements made to fit any Of any number
Of cases, thus enabling the dealer to keep large
and varied stock OF movements with limited
number of cases, to suit the demands of trade.
The watches have fewer parts, are more sub
stantiay made than any others, are easily kept
Clean and the chances for failure by breakagc are
diminished four-ffths compared with the Eng
lish watch, which has upwards Of eight hundred
separate parts while the American watch has but
one hundred and twenty-five parts, and most of
these are substantial, and all perfect, that it
would be very difficult to break them.
