stances by which ii was attended.
For this reason, every new fact connected
with this mournful catastrophe has double
interest and will be cngcrly sought.
by the latest Natchtz papers We have
some intelligence that has not been made
public here, which we present to our readers.
The fate of Capt. jackson is detailed by
the following paragraph from the Free Ira
der:
Capt. jackson was sitting in chair on
the hurricane deck, leaning back agalns;
the sky lights, when the explosion took
with the timbcrs of the shattered wreck
shoulders, where he remained, struggling.
till the flames gathered around and abou,
him, burnt the timbers that sustained hun,
and he fell to be seen no more--into the rag
ing fire below.
The Courier contains letter from Cyrus
March, of Natchez, who was on board, from
which We extract the following:
When the accident occurred. was in nv
state room, No. 4, lying on my face, partly
in doze. The first realized was. | was
going up with the fragments of my state
room, and when fell, was covered with
rubbish and blinded by the steam. In a
few moments, however, extricated myself.
and when the steam blew away, found my.
self on the guard of the boat. Fearing the
boat had broken in two, ran up on the
hurricane deck, and saw that the chimnsvs
had both Blown over and the cabin had
mostly fallen in. Immediately ran down
on the cabin deck. and leapcd to the boiler
deck at that moment the boat had swung
her bow round to the shore, and about one
dozen persons jumped ashore the boat then
swung off, and the stage was Immediately
launched.
The boat took fire in FIVE or ten minutes
after the explosion, and was soon all in
flames. The passengers now jumped into
the water, and by the aid of those that could
swim, all were got on shore. think none
were drowned, unless they were blown into
the river by the explosion, 1t is difficult to
estimate the number of lost, but l should
Judge i. to be fifty at least-probably more.
There were many acts of self possession
that amounted almost to heroism.

To Keen Butter Hard and Cool.

A writer in the Scientific American re-
commends to the ladies very simple or.
rangement for keeping butter nice and
cool in the hottest weather: Procure a
large, new aower.pot of sufficient size to
cover the butter plate, and also saucer
large enough for the Rower-pot to rest in
upside down; place trivet or meat stand,
such as is sent to the oven when joint is
baked, in the saucer, and put on this trivet
the plate Of butter; now fill the saucer with
water, and turn the fower-pot over the
butter, so that its edge will be below the
water. The hole in the fowerpot must
be fitted with cork; the butter will
then be in what We may call an air-tight
chamber. Let the whole of the outside
of the tower.pot be then thoroughly
drenched with water and place it in as
cool a place as you can. II this be done
over night, the butter will be ." firm as q
rock" at breakfast time; or, if placed
there in the morning, the butter will be
quite hard for use at tea hour The rea-
son of this is, that when water evaporates,
it produces cold; the porous pot draws
up the water which in warm weather
quickly evaporates from the sides and
thus cools it, and as no warm air can now
get at the butter it becomes firm and cool
in the hottest day.

From the Valley Farmer.
To Drive the Weevil from Mills and
Granaries.


Numerous remedies have been pro.
posed to protect wheat and corn from the
destructive ravages of the weevil (curculo
granar;us,) but most of them have been
impracticable, or too expensive. Tar has
been found certain and economical agent
for expelling these insects. A writer in
French publication asserts, that his father
had, long time ago, his granaries and
barns infested with these insects; SO much
so that they penetrated into all the chests,
and among the linen. He placed an open
cask impregnated with tar, in the barn,
and then in the granaries; at the end of
some hours the weerils were seen climb
Ing along the walls by myriads, and flying
in all directions from the cask. On moy-
ing the tarred vessel from place to place,
the premises were, in a few days, com
pletely cleared Of these troublesome anG
pernicious guests. The farmer who is
troubled with these insects may, as soon
as he perccives their presence, ilnpregnate
the surface of some I'D planks with tar.
and place them as required in his grana,
ries; care must be taken to renew the
tar from time to time in the course of the
year, to prevent their retnrn.
The same means may not prove equally
effective with the grain moth, an ash-col-
ored miller, called by some weeyif.

TRANsPLANT1NG EvERGREENs.-The Lon
don Gardner's Chronicle describes the
following method as promising great eff
cacy in reviving plants dried by having
had their roots too long out of the ground,
and insuring their safe removal in late
spring and summer, and as being especial
ly fitted for evergreens when transplanted :
"Make hole in the ground to contain
about 20 gallons of water, and pour about
l6 gallons into it; add to this about 20
lbs. of barn-yard manure mixed with
about the same quantity Of fine rich soil.
BY working the mixture for long time,
and carefully, YOU reduce it to the con-
sistcncy of white-wash. In this mixture,
steep the roots of Your plants Just before
putting them into the ground the earth
thrown over them into the hole sticks to
the roots, which Immediately begin to
swell. At the very first movement Of
sap, rootlets appear through this coating,
which gives the immediate manure. and
not only brings on, but secures the further
formation OF roots. Once fairly started.
there is nothing more to fear"

it has been suggested that they would be
particularly useful in the production of
wool. They are evidently valuable for
these purposes, but not the less valuable
for the production of fat. Those persons
who have used peas for fattening hogs,
consider them worth rs much as Indian
corn. In districts where that grain is not
grown, very fine pork is produced from
peas. Dickson, in his work "On the
breeding of Live Stock" states that o
sweep stakes was entered into between
five East Lothian farmers, to be claimed
by one who should be pronounced the
best feeder of cattle. Forty cattle OF
the same breed, and in equal condition,
were divided between them, as fairly as
possible. They were put up together the
second week in September, and killed at
Christmas following. The winner of the
stakes fed his cattle wholly on boiled beans
with hay
