RECRUITING PLACES FOR WHALESdEN ON THE NORTH
WEST CoAsT.-A letter received by Messrs l. Il. Bart
lett Sons of this city, from James G. Swan. ESQ.,,
dated at Port Townsend, washington Territory May
20. 1859, in fulment Of promise to report to the
facilities for recruiting whalemen on the Northwest
Coast, says IN. Bedford Paper.
I" Since my arrival here in February last, have
visited the various harbOrs between this point and
Cape Fattery, and have come to the conclusion that
two most eligible places are Port Townsend, and old
or False Dungness. Port Townsend has the advan-
tage Of being port of entry and residence Of the COL
lecor, the stopping place for the mail steamers, and
the location of the u s. Military Station. Wells Far
20 Co., and Freeman Co., have express agencies
here. and every facility will be afforded for furnishing
supplies and negotiating drafts The harbor is excel
lent, with deep water and good holding ground The
proper anchorage for whalemen is to up past the
town some three miles, near the military station where
wood and water may be obtained in abundance Casks
can be filled rapidly by a stream running from the
bluffs through spout placed by order of Maj Haller.
the commandant, for the Of the shipping. Provis
ions of all kinds and supplies be obtained as read
lily and as cheap as at the Sandwich Islands.
False Dunginess possesses the inducement Of an
cellent hsrbOr much the Ocean, just half way
from Port Townsend to Cape Flattery. A Russian
whaling brig within the past month, obtained his sup
plies with only four days detention. She had large
quantity of oil on board which was offered at sixty
cents per gallon, but declined

titles of potatoes and with ordinary yied the crop

tion of the Territory.
am satisfied both from observation and information
the subject that profitable business be done
here by employing small class vessels similar to those
fitted out at Provcetown. The whaling ground is in
the immediate vicinity of the Straits of Fucs and at
certain Of the year the whole Straghs and the
Gulf Of Georgia alive with whales which are kill
ed by the Indians in great numbers.
At present and until the wants of commerce require
change, Port Townsend in nay opinion, offers favora-
bic inducements to whaemen desirous Of recruits.

Thronged by strange shapes and new, on every

My car still haunted by the laugh Of ril's
That leap and fash along my n#tive hills,
The mingled thoughts which rise and crowd

Along its airy chambers rush and roll
Like these wild floods that fix NY rowing eye
And rise in wave and boiling eddy by;
A voice from out the whiriing depths | hear.
These stretching solituics and shadows drear,
'' o not alone whore hamlets dot the lea
And the rich vale expands, il verdant sea.
With yellow foam OF buttcr-cups and spray
or snowy daisies nodding to the sway
or gales that bear the hum, the roar and smoke
OF busy towns and ringing anvil stroke
Not only where the flower hemmed fountain

In the broad shadow of ancestral homes
Or waves Of cool September wind are rolled
o 'cr cultured plains and hills of beaded gold ,
But where a sunbeam gds the desert sod
Or woodland murmurs with the step Of God
There mind with glorious shapes can people

There beauty breathes and poetry has birth !;

From Night and Chaos rose the wonGrous plan
But here alike for man and bird and beast

USE OF DEAD ANIMALs.-Ifit shonld be
your misfortune to have horse, a COW, an
OK or other animal to die on your hands. after
skinning them, haul them into your barn
yard, cut up the carcass into as small pieces
as you can conveniently, and form it into COM
post thus: spread thick covering of plaster
or charcoal over the body, place four inches
IN depth under the parts of the animal then
cover them over with six times the weight of
the animal, with peat, marsh mud, river mud
or muck, mold from the woods, or any ether
earthly vegetable matter. Let this remain
six months, when the flesh will have been
separated from the bones, and the earthly
compost will be fit for use, then mix with it
ten bushels of ashes, and you will have
manure enough to fully fertilise an acre of
land to go through a rotation of crops. All
such composts when being made, should. as
each layer of earth is put on to the depth of
six inches have fine charcoal or fine plaster
strcwn over it. The bones should be dissolved
with dilute sulphuric acid. and mixed with
ten bushels of ashes, which will he found
equal to the manurIng OF another acre of land
Let us now ask if this dispersion of dead
horse, COW or other animal, into twenty
bushels Of wheat, thirty bushels of barley
twenty bushels ofrye or forty bushels of oats,
is not better than to fill The air with the in

WEIGHT OF THE EARTH Coporncus first
distinctly demonstrated that the apparen,
terrestrial plain was really free and indie
pendent material mass moving in a dcfrabe
path through space. Then Newton explained
that this independent mass moved through
space because it was substantial and heavy.
and because it was unsupported by props and
chains; that, in fast as a massive body. it is
FILLING forever through the void but that,
as it falls, it sweeps round the sun in never
ending circuit, attracted towards it bv mag
nctllke energy, but Kept of from 1t by the
force Of its centrifugal movement. Next,
Smell and Picard measured the dimensions of
The heavy and falling mass and found that it
was a spcrical body. with q gdic of IS coo
miles. SubSeq uently to this, Baly contrived
pair OF scales that enabled him Approximately
| to weigh the vast sphere and lie ascertaned
that it had within itself somewhere about
,256, 1915 60 900 600, 900 900. 900 tons of
water. 10 these discoveries Foucault has
recently added demonstration to the actual
senses of the fact, that the massive sphere is
working on itself as it falls through space
and round the sun. so that point after point
of its vast surface is brought in succession INTO
the genial influence of its sunshine an invert-
is made to present clouds, winds and rai in, and
the inverted surface to bear vegetable forms
and animated creatures in great diversity. "
The world is, then, a large, solid sphere,
invested with loosened shell Of transparent,
elastic, easily-moving vapor and whirhng
through space within the domains Of sunshine;
so that by the combined action of the trans
parent mobile vapor and the slimulant sun
shine, organised creatures may grow and live
on its surface, and those vital changes may
be dIllused, among which conscious and
mental life stand as The highest results.
