John A. Wa.hington's Failure.

John A. Wa.hington's Failure.
The Boston correspondent OF the Anti
Slavery Standard writes
ave have lately bsen startled by the
news that all that expenditure Of breath
and money was labor in vain and money
spent for nsuyht. Do you suppose it can
be true that John A. Washing on, after
dickering for his great relatives bones, and
g'tlng his full price for them, is not able
to give title to the same. after all? |
believe it is literally truc, fom what. |
have heard on good authority. The sto>
ry have hered is, that that valuable per,
sonage. not content with his speculation
in the land OF Washington, went into one
in lands in Chicago. The unhappy sub.
merge Of corner-lots through the great
flood Of 1857 has left him high and dry,
and Mount Vernon liable for his debts in
that direction, and pe,haps in others

those pains. Mr.. Everett will have to be.
gin over again. DR.. Radcliffe, when he
lost twenty thousand pounds in the South
Sea scheme, said, "Well, it is only going
up twenty thousand pair of stairs to make
it all right again!" So Mr.. Everett may
console himselfby the thought that is only
speaking the Washington Oration over

he would keep hold oft himself next
time, until he is sure the consideration

The Paris Gazette, of q late date. gives the
friaie of quite number Of individuals who
were convicted by the Correctional Tribunal OF
adulteration Of variotis kinds. One milk man.
who had been convicted fourth time on a
charge "f:slsifying alimentarv substance WAS
sentenced to It fine of three thousand francs
and eight months Imprisonment. Another,
who was convicted third time. was sentenced
to fine OF two thousand frances and six months
imprisonment. A widow, milk woman. for
the Justification of milk by adding thirty per
cent. o{ water, was sentenced to three months
imprisonment, and a fine of fflv frances. A
grocer, having been convicted of falsifving cof-
tee with chicory, was sentenced to six days i'm
prlsonment, and fire Of fifty frances. These
are but few OF NANNY similar cases. They
show the grave light in which aCluiterntion is
viewed IN France. Would that some similar
system existed in this country. The extent to
Inipositions in the United States are effected is
fearful. The most costly the articles, or the
more generally usee, the greater the tempta-
ton. Drugs and chemicals, wines and liquors,
spices, teas, and groceries, all suffer more or
less in this way. The pernicioi,s practice is
carried on to such an extent, tliat it is really
dlfilcult to obtain genuine article. The eX-
cuse made by dealers is, that unless they follow
the example of others, they would be under

and yet both are in danger by the impurities
and poisons which are iutermingled with our
food and drink. The extent to which milk |

water in large quantities, chalk is often intro |

The Ezey and gherberne Dao1.

Frequent mention having been made, since
the killing Of Phillip Barton Key by Mr. Sic
kles, ofthe duel in which Mr.. Keys eldest broth
er lost his life, Mr.. Shcrbernes second publishes
what he calls "a correct statement of the affair,
in the Memphis Avalanche. He says in his
statement that the quarrel between Mr.. Daniel
Key and Mr.. John Sherberne commenced in
the winter of 1866; that Key sent the
first challenge, but fight vas prevented by ar
rest and on the 18th or 10th of June follow
ing, the second and last challenge was sent by
Mr.. Sherberhe. Accordingly, the fight took
place on the same evening, at Good Hope TaV-

Yard Bridge, on the rond leading from Wash

weapons were pistols, borrowed for the occasion

First Fruit of the Extra SESSION.

W. We're somewhat astonished, when on last
Monday, we learned that every dollar in the
State Treasury for general revenue purposes
had been exhausted, and that the creditors of
the State were commpelled to forego the paw
ment of their claims. This fund can only be
recruited by the tolls from the Canals, till the
semi-annual collection of taxes is completed in
jnne. There is much complaint at this state
OF affairs, but we know of no remedy. After
the shameful treatment of the Treasurer bv the
late legislature, he will be very sure not to ap-
prOpriate the other funds in the Treasury to
pay any demands upon the general revenue
fund, no matter how pressing the emergency.
we learn that there is about $35O,00O in the
Treasury. OF this sum, s225,OO0 belong to
the sinking fund.- $4,000 to the school library
fund, and the balance to other funds. The law
is imperative that each fund shall be kept sep
crate, and not dollar can be taken from any
OF them for purposes not contemplated by their
creation.
This resnlt should have been foreseen by the
legislature, and should have been avoided
But they made large appropriations for various
purposes, and paid off all the old claims that
have been presented for the last ten years.
Over forty thousand dollars went in one sum
to the Lewiston Reservoir So soon as. the
general appropriation bill was passed, every
claimant at once presented his order for the
money. These have all been paid as presented
but the result has been the total exhaustion of
that fund The salaries ofall the Judges, State
officers, &c, the expenses of the Canals the
Penitentiary all the Benevolent Institutions,
the work on the State House, &c, &C., must all
go without pay till the August settlement of
County Treasurers shall replenish this fund.
1t is a nice state of affairs, but we know of no
remedy. The legislature should have fixed
things differently, and upon it mnst rest the
responsibility Columbus Gaz.

TRE WOOL MARHxr.
1sllta0lgf and Kischi2g's Wool Circplar.

| New YORK, May 1859.
| We have to report a quiet market during
April, especially so up to the Dist, at .whicl
date a large sale at auction Of foreign and do
mestic Woods was announced. The sale, how
ever, has been subject, and desergcdly, TO mucI
censure; it was a decided failure A small
quantity only was offered, and that mostly BID
i'll; the balance was withdrawn In fact, the
sale had a bad effect on this months business
and clearly proved that similar auctions will
not do for great market like this. Liberal
auction sales give satisfaction to both sellers
and buyers
Since the date above mentioned there has
been more doing, but at decline from pre-
tious rates of about SOLO u cent. Domestic
Flcese DOL will all be taken before the new
| clip, the stock of which being very light the
prices viii not be much lower
Pulled Wools is III better supply, yet tIlere
is little demand for it even at the reduced
rates. California and Texas woods have been
selling freely at considerably lower prices in
consequence of the large stock in market, and
limited inquiry. Buyers of Wool in these
States will do well to operate cautiously during
the new clip.
The prospect Of war in Europe seems to
have much influence in the Wool market there
and the prices of fine and medium wool have
reeeled somewhat. Should the war actually
occur, it will be felt more and have its bearing
on our market for domestic wool, the clip of
which is approaching, and we have but little
doubt that prices will not rule as high as the
farmers have been anticipating. The events
of this year will cause some fuctuation, and
therefore deserve attention.
Fine Foreign Wool has been but little sought
for during April, and, although the present
stock is mostly of the new clip, and in good
condition, the prices are from 5 to 10 q cent
lower. There is a good supply compared with
that of last winter.
Low Foreign Wool remains about the same
as before so far as the stock is concerned, but
prices are easier at least 5 99 cent, for desira-
BILE kinds, and from to 10 q cent, for neg
lected qualities.
Trade being considered in healthy state
and the importations of Wool not larger than
necessary, we may look for fair business dur
ing the next season.

Potato PLANTING.

Hon. A B. Dickinson, of Steuben county
N. Y, furnishes the New York Tribune with
the following mode of preventing the potato
rot: fe
Cut ench potato SO ae to leave but two eyes
on each piece and make that piece as thin
as is practicable without injuring the chit
or set. If you plant in drills, put these
pieces twelve inches apart; if in hills put three
in hill. OF course the core Of the potato--Si
three-fourths ofits bulk, if large one-is left
to be eaten or otherwise disposed Of By this
mode the seed goes far and should it attempt
to rot it does but little harm. A large whole
potato will send up larger and more vigorous
stalks, but Mill give no ample yield. AS
a further preventive against rot, Mr.. ID. gives
his potato and most other seeds a thin coat
ing Of tar, applied as follows: Pour a pint
of tar into ten gallons of boiling water and
stir until thoroughly dissolved. Soak five
bushels of potato seed cut as already indica-
ted, in this tar-water. Now roll in plaster,
taking up much of it as possible, and your
seed is ready for planting

plant does not receive all is support from the

from greater depth in the suhsoil than most
ordinary farm crops. Besides this have to
believe from experience and observation, that
the roots Of clover not only obtain portion of
their food from greater. depth in the earth
than is penetrated by the plow, but that those
roots in thus penetrating the subsoil in, search
of food, actually bring up something which IN
