The narrow limit of the longest life is

horror, that movable iron wall was grad

the movement came on, il must soon crush
him to death and he could calculate it to
day. But you have not that advantage.

A CURE FOR LUMBAGo.-The follow.
ing amusing though somewhat painful in
cident, actually occurred at farmhouse
not great many miles from the village of
Copetown, G. w. All are subject to the
ills Of the flesh, and Mr.. ---, a worthy
and highly respected man, was very severe
ly afflicted with that painful complaint,
lumbago; so much so. indeed, that he could
not stand erect, and could walk with great
difficulty. As is common in such cases, it
was thought desirable to rub the afflicted
part with some spurious compound, and
that the application might be the more eff
fectual, the goodman was sat with his back
to the fire while the goodwife gave sweet
relicf--now applying the spurious, now
warming her palm over the CHEEKY blaze,
AID again chatting the afflicted part. While
thus engaged it unfortunately happened
that without the good dame observing it,
the spirit upon her hand took fire. and she,
with magnetic pass, al once set the old
gentleman's back in a blaze. The effects
produced were akin to the miraculous. He
bounded up with newborn energy he
yelled and rushed round the house, uttering
string of expletives totally unworthy of
a deacon. Fortunately, the fuel that sup
| piled the fire was soon exhausted. Tired
and sore, the goodman was put to bed, and.
we are happy 10 add, cured Of his lumbago
and has never had it since.--hrchangs

FIGURES OF WHnAr.-The wheat GRO,

FIGURES OF WHEAT.--The wheat crop
in this country, just harvested. is set down
by the Chicago Times at two hundred and
one millions of bushels, or about forty mill
lions of barrels, or one and three-ffths of
a barrel of -four for every one Of the
twenty-five millions Of individuals in the
United States. This would not seem to be
a great deal more than our own wants
would require, and it would not be if we
had not the other cereals, and particularly
the great crop of Indian corn, to help out
the supply. Ohio is given production of
20,000,000 bushels, Pennsylvania 25,000,
900, New York 20.o00,000, and Illinois
2o,0o0,000. The New England States
have decreased in their production of
wheat, but the West has increased four to
one. The amount of land under wheat
cultivation this year is thrty-three per
cent, greater than in 1855. We frequently
hear OF production of thirty-one bushels
to the acre, but the actual production per
acre does not average two-thirds of that
amount.

American Home and Masonic Temple.

The members from Washington at the
Chicago National Convention, have represen-
ted to their brethren plan for establishing
an American Home" for the support and
education of the orphan children ofdcccased
Masons. They contemplate the raising OF a
fund of 100000, portion of which is to be
devoted to the building of q Masonic Tenn
pie at the seat of government, and the re-
venues derived from it to 90 to the benevolent
purposes alluded to. The plan was highly
approved by all the leading representatives
of the various grand bodies there; and the
ladies-the wives of Masons and others
there have taken hold of the matter. and
are about inaugurating National Society,
on their part, to raise funds for this purpose,
similar in its operations to the Mount Yer
non Society. One gentleman headed the
list with a subscription Of six hundred dol
lars. 1t will be fine improvement to the

The winsns' Steamer to Visit Norfolk.

The improvements upon the original de-
sign of the Wynans' steamer, have been COM
pleted, and we learn that it is the intention
of her builders, Messrs. Ross Il Thomas Wi
mans, to make the long contemplated trial
trip outside of her native waters. Norfolk
will be the first destination of the vessel, and
she will probably start for that port to-day
or tomorrow. The visit of the vessel to
New York and other ports, will be govern
ed by circumstances. 1t has been suggested
to her builders and owners to take the non
descript vessel to Portland Me-, on the arri-
val of the Great Eastern there. That port
would, in the event Of such determination,
be the receptacle Of two of the greatest Won
ders of the marine world.
The original length of the Winans' steam
er was 1856 feet, but it being demonstrated
by frequent trials that greater length in
sured IN increase of speed, several additions
have been made, and the length of the vessel
now is 2S5 feet from point to point. The
vessel is now coaling preparatory to her voy,,
age, with 200 tons Of the best Cumberland

Tho Utah Transportation Contract.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 am Informed re-
liably to-day that the lowest bidders for ar
nv transportation to New Mexico, are Moore
Il Boyce of New Mexico, whose bid is al
legged to be informal. The next lowest bid
ders were Bryant Il Bernard. The latter
gentleman is a Marylander. Facts in rea-
ton to the transportation Of supplies to our
army in Utah cannot fail to again call pub
lie attention to the enormous expenditure
for that object. The present contractors
employ 200 wagons, half that number OF
we'll disciplined men, together with tens OF
thousands of draft horses, mules and oxen.
Fer every ration delivered in Utah. hun
dreds of like character are consumed in get
ting the single one to it's destination. The
cost of transport per ton is estimated as
averaging five hundred dollars; added to this
are allowances when trains are stopped by
order of U. S. officers, and also when the
government fails to supply freights as stlru-
lated. The bid for the new contract by
Russell, Major & Co., is said to be thirty per
cent. less than prices under their present
one. They arc underbd by Irving, White
& Magraw, by very small sum. AS sche-
dulles must be prepared and points as to IN
formalities determined, awards will not be
given until the return of the Secretary OF
War.

You will be pleased to learn that the liber-
ated Africans of the Echo, are all doing well.
They have been distributed among the sew
eral counties of the Republic, and quite a
number of both sexes have been taken into
private families, where they are well taken
care of. The several missionary societies,
too, have come forward and adopted some OF
these poor exiles from home and friends

supervision of Bishop Burns. has several, and

hear that in giving names to these strangers,
YOU have not been forgotten. At White
