Horace Greeley is an innocent man, o.
the N. y. correspondence Of the Charleston
Courier is not truthful writer. lie says
N. York editors are not on good terms So
cially, and hardly two Of them visit the
same circles. OF Horace he says;
Greeley seeks and has no society, unless
It be that of persons desiring tomake some
thing out Of him. He Is the most good
natured, innocent person in the world. All
grades Of society are alike to him. He
will stop and converse with the congressman
and the .carman. alike His sympathies are
with everybody. Heis not more careless
in his dress than in his habits. Money is
no object 70 him. II he goes to restau-
rant to dine be puts down bill TO pay for
his meal and never looks at the change
Il is said he is often badly stuck with bad
bills by persons knowing his carelessness
and unconcern in such matters.

TRACT SocIRTIEs.-Rev. DR.. Patton Of Hart
ford, Ct is addressing 10 the officers Of the n.
York branch of the tract society a series eI
valuable letters, comparing the operations Of
the London tract society with those OF the
American society. The English system excels
both in economy and practical efficiency. The
English society pays all its expenses Of every
kind by 8 small profit on the publications sold,
and its distribution is managed by the churches,
and benevolent societies and by hawkers and
peddlers, without any expense to the society -
10 3yesrsending with 1858, it cost the American
Society S442,72s to circulate ..6fty millions Of
t' publications, while the English society dis
tributed 10 the same time over a hundred mil
lion publications without any cost. This is q
pretty large economy. During the same years
the American society received in donations and
legacies S432 664 and gave away in publica-
tions sl53,O40 while s234.l24, two thirds the
amount was consumed in the management OF
the establishment During the same time the
London society gave away more than it receiv-
ed in the same way having balance Of profits
on publications to add to the donations. These
facts certainly suggest improvements in the
methods Of the American society, which tht
Boston society in re-Organilng for extensive
operations would do well to initiate, as far 81
practicable. ta"'

RArs1Ee CREAM-A practice originating
in Connecticut, for obtaining the largest
quantity Of cream from milk, is meeting
the appreciation Of many sensible dairy
women in various parts of New England.
New milk is strained into common pans
and after standing twelve hours, is careful
ly placed over kettle of warm water, and
brought as nearly as possible to the tenn.

for twelve hours more, when it is ready to

can be obtained from this process, than

were 8 men on board, officers and hands,

shoulder was dislocated, and he was other

injuries. Most Of the men were forward

for no more being hurt. The craft had on

''We have too many of them. They ex-
ereise too much power They would con-

trolled it until its forces are scattered, its

SOUTHERN GALLANTRY AND HosPIrALrrY.--The
New York Commercial Advertiser gives an ac-
count Of the brutal and disgrceful manner in
which lady of Brooklyn has lately been driven
from Aiken, S. @. She had been spending the
winter at hotel, with sick daughter, who re-
quired mild climste. She wrote letter to 9
brother in western New York, in which sh,
spoke Of the evils Of slavery. This letter was
pnblished, aud some one sent copy OF the pa
per to the postmaster at Aiken. A public meet
ing was Immediately called, and committee sp
pointed TO ferret ont the writer A norherr
gentleman who, as an invalid, happened also tc
be at the hotel, was suspected, and was threat
ened with lynch Law, but the lady nobly came
forward to exhonerate him by acknowledging
the letter as her own, affirming, at the same
time, that she was not privy to its publication
The citizens then turned their wrath upon her
and she was ordered to leave the place 10 forty.
eight hours. The lady pleaded for more time
on behalf of her sick daughter, or liberty TO
remain until her husband could arrive to escort
her and ber sick child. But the citizens of Al
ken knew nothing of galiantry or courtesy
The order was imperative. Nor was this all
The landlord Of the hotel ordered the mother
and the sick daughter to "leave his premises il
half an hour" Her husband received letter
apprising him of her situation, and he started
for the South, aud met his wife and daughter st
Columbia on their way home.

IMPosToRs ExrosED.--The imposture practis-
ed by Mrs. Hayes, at Chester Warren county,
N. ", who has pretended 20 live without eating
for 2 years, which has only just been exposed, is
one of the most remarkable cases on record
Committees have watched her night and day
and reported that no food passed her lips, ply
siciaps have visited her end given interesting
accounts of her peculiar condition in the news
papers, thousands Of people have seen her, aud
so little apparent chance or motive for decep-
ton was there that very few have doubted that
the woman was living in some unaccountable
manner without food Three weeks ago COM
mhtee Of six was appointed, to remain with her,
two at q time night and day, for twenty-oue
days After the committee entered upon their
watch, she would every few hours. awaken from
her lethargic condition and talk for an hour to-
gether 10 sort Of religious rhapsody. The
committee kept their eyes open and we're re-
paid for their watching by the discovery that
the angelic food upon which the deluded woman
fed was no less substantial than crackers and
meat. Thus the whole thing is exploded and
Mrs Hayes can now return to her usual pur-
suits, with no. special mission but TO repent of
the stupid lie she has been acting for two years
to attain a very commonplace notoriety.
