The ice continued to run out IN considerable
quantities though not so heavily as on Tues
day. Navigation is virtually suspended.
The weather last night was colder than in
the early part of the day, and put to flight
all hopes of an early rain. About noon the
wind shifted to the north, and the ice was,
in consequence, forced to the Kentucky shore
leaving the channel on this side entirely
clear.
1.-The Autocrat begins to look consid-
erably like Il steamboat. Her chimneys
and escape-pipes will soon be up From
the appearance of the work as it is put to-
gether, we are certain that we can speak of
the workmanship of the mechanics,
when the boat is completed, in terms of de-
served praise. She will be as well calcula-
ted for a general freight and passenger boat
as any one on the river.
..' We met our friend, AIr. Thomas
Dusouchet yesterday, who had just arrived
from the Wabash. He reports the Kate
Sarchet to be safely ensconced in the mouth
of Fox River entirely free from all danger
of ice. The Kate has a good cargo on board,
which from present appearances Is likely to
remain there for some little time to come,
unless we are favored with rain.
1--WE CLEAN several items from the
Cincinnati Gazette: The river is said to be
gorged with ice at Medoc, and the Samuel
Miller is fast in the ice at that point. a
cake of ice knocked a hole in the s. II.
HibbdrG about seven feet in length. The
ice, fortunately, stopped the hole and she
was repaired before filling with water. The
Gazette thinks one or two more such days
will complete a bridge from that city to
Kentucky, on which no fare will be charged.
-.....The atlantic came up last night, hav-
ing on board Miss Sallie St. Clair and her
theatrical troupe. They got off at this
point, and we believe will proceed immedi-
ately to indianapolis by railroad, to fill an
engagement in that city.
..-.Cupt. Lancaster informs us that there
was no insurance on the Maid Of tie MIST
and he fears she will prove a total loss. He
has labored hard to get his boat in active
service, and this accident falls on him and
his partner, Mr.. Wymond, quite heavily.
1.-THE large amount of lath, shingles,
and lumber now on the wharf, at the foot
of Locust street, has been purchased by Mr..
Robert Fergus. The RATS were designed
for Louisville, but accdently went over the
Falls, and afterwards sold as above. Not
withstanding the cold weather, workmen
are getting the lumber out of the water.
Capt. Frazier, of the Lightfoot, ap-
peared before Squire Walker yesterday to
answer to the charge of assault and battery
on one of his deck hands, and was acquit-
ted, it appearing that the complainant was
more to blame than the accused.
1.-The Kate French and Clara Poe left
yesterday morning. The Kate received q
small amount of freight here.
1.-The Mary Cook is reported TO be "
ing up at Mt Carmel instead of at the
mouth of the Wabash, as reported yesterday.
1.-THE rumor that the Dun5eith was
sunk at Mosco was incorrect. The Cincin-
natl Gazette says she is still ahoat

What Gov. Kirkwood Says.

Gov. Kirkwood, in short address deliv.
cred at the recent Muscatine County Fair,
said -" He thought it best for the Iowa
farmers to raise less grain and more stock
He was beef raiser, and said it cost him
about twenty per cent. on wheat, corn sixty,
and wool four. He said that when he first
came to Iowa, he was told that our prairies
would not produce good English grass. He
did not believe it then, and now he knows il
is not true. He concluded by recommend.
ing to farmers to pay more attention to fruits,
shrubbery and ornamental and shade trees.
Make our homes pleasant and attractive to
our children, that they may not, so many Of
them, seek town life as soon as they are able
to 60 abroad, but surround TIE parental home
with numerous objects to cherish and love,
that if some of them must necessarily go
abroad they will have good homestead Sc
thoroughly planted in their desires that they
will be likely to excel their fathers in that
respect" aas r.N.. s.. @e.a.. ..N

Sewing Machines,

We have had sewing machine, little
more thana week, and am perfectly de-
lighted with it. 1t acc0mplishes wonders
hope you will not think me insane upon
sewing machines, much as may write about
them. rather consider them preventive
of insanity for never since have had fam
lily, have had such hope of having my spring
sewing done in season, as I have now.
make two garments day, beside attending
to my other daily duties, and piece after
piece of cotton disappears almost as fast as
one can cut it. Two shirts day would be
quite moderate sewing, and would require no
particular haste. The childrens pantaloons,
too, no longer demand tailoress. 1 would
not part with my machine for a thousand
dollars, if could not replace it by another.
l am more than satisfied with it. / cannot
tell you the metal relief it is to me, while the
physical labor is less fatiguing, than to sew
all day with needle. 1t scenes like a re
newed lease Of life, for it uplifts heavy and
crushing burden, and promises future rest
My youngest boy thinks if could now get a
writing machine, should be quite woman
Of leisure. When the children talk so much
about sewing for me on the machine, l sup
posed it would prove merely a pleasant
dream of theirs, to be grateful to me be-
cause it resulted from their love, but find it
no dream. They all of them use the machine
and one of them, who is eleven, has already
made several garments for himself, beside
stitching up many a long seam on garments
for others. He sings as merrily at his work,
as If it was not work, at all and even now, as
write, he sits at my side asking, Have you
any more sewing, for me, lnother?" He can
sew faster than can haste for him.

When to Out Timber.

Conversing with an intelligent farmer of
large experience, upon the subject, we found
he fully sustained the views heretofore ex.
pressed in the Agriculturalists, viz: that the
best season for cutting timber is about mid
summer. His explanation was, that dur
ing the latter part of June and early in July,
when the foliage is in its fullest vigor, the
upward draft upon the sap is so great that
very little moisture is left in the tree, conse-
quently the timber seasons hard and sound !;
but that during March and April there is so
much water in the wood, that insects bore
into it readily, thus producing powder post"
through all the sap portion, and even into the
heart wood. He mentioned the instance of q
neighbor who cut his timber for house in
June, but when he came to work it out in the
Winter, he lacked some ribs or Stats upon
which to nail the long roof shingles. He cut
enough to supply the deficiency during the
latter part of Winter, and completed the
house. After the lapse of few years, he
examined the roof, and found the Stats which
were cut in the Summer, perfectly sound,
while those cut in the Winter, were badly
affected by dry rot and powder post"
Our informant had also proved the same
thing himself He also remarked that when
the object is to induce free growth of new
shoots for future wood or forest, he prefer
red to cut in March, as the stumps sucker
much more freely then, than when cut away
in Summer. The latter, however, is the best
season to clear off growth of wood the old
stumps decay sooner.-American Agricultu-
ralist --

The Origin Of Mills.

In carly ages, corn was pounded in NOR
tars, by hand. Solomon, alludes to that Gus
tom, when he says: Though thou should
bray fool in mortar, with pestle, among
wheat, yet will not his foolishness depart
from him." The hand mills, of later times,
were of very simple construction, and were
operated principally by women. In process
of time, shafts were added to these machines,
and they were worked by cattle Water mills
were invented about the time of Julius Caesar !;
but they did not come into general use till
"A. D. 400. It is supposed that wind-mills
originated in the East, and were introduced
into Europe by the Crusaders. This, how
ever, is doubted, as such mills were in use in
Europe as early as the FIRST crusade. Feudal
lords, claimed the privilege of erecting all
corn mills and requiring their vassals to grind
at their mills, called ban-mills. The building
Of such mills was then very expensive, and
none but lords, and barons, could afford the
expense hence they claimed all tolls, from
their dependents. BY way Of remuneration
At one time, the monks of Holland desired
to erect a windmill for their own conyen-
fence; the lord of the soil opposed their DUR.
pose, saying that the wind, in that district.
belonged to him. The monks appealed 10
!, their bishop, who, in great indignation,
claimed spiritual control Of the winds, in his
diocese, and granted letters patent to the
holy fathers. BY improvements introduced
10 France. in the grinding of corn. about the
wear 1T66, the amount Of -four obtained was
zhsRly doubled. Saw mills are more recent
in their origin, than corn mills. The earliest
method known for procuring planks, was by
splitting the trunks Of trees with wedges
and hewing the sides with axes. Until the

benefactors, ranked among the gods. Ovid
celebrates his praises, in his Metamorphoses
He says, the idea was suggested by the spines
which project from the back. bone of fish.
By others, the discovery is attributed to the
accidental use of the jaw bone of a snake in
scvering piece Of wood. The saw vas used
in pit saving, during most Of the dark ages.
1t was first adapted to mills, in Germany, in
1922. Saws were not introduced into Eng
land till 1867. The first constructed mills
were destroyed by mobs. The invention Of
the circular saw, has added greatly to the
efficiency Of modern mills, and now, almost
every variety and form Of timber, used by
