''P. s. No ultra SHEETS can, or shall be re-

Our neighhor of the Telegraph seems to Think
it xe11nhard that our Governor should tnk- such
al afal course as this to control the press of

is the only course left him to deter those who
differ with him in opinion from spea king az INST
his views of federal politics; at least, until he
can get some law passed to enable him to deal
with all such journals in more summary man
ner. For our part, we have never venturcd to
ask for sncl patronage as our contemporary com
plains of losing. IF our present Governor would
be content to deprive us Of the State patronage.
we would be satisfed but we have long heen ac-
customed to his eGcrts to curtail our patronage

WASHINGTON IRVING NEARLY KILLED By AN
INDIAN FOR MAKING LoyB TO HIS SoUAw-The
following is an extract from some recollections
of Washington Irving in the Home Journal !:
II was very nearly killed by an Indian once, y,
said Irving one evening. "When was young 2
man was travelling in Canada with friend.
There were more Indians there then than there
are white men now. One raw, chilly day, We
were rowing in canoe on the st. Lawrence
with an Indian for guide. As we neared the
spot where Ogdensburgh now stands, he invited
US to his wigwam to get something to eat Sel
curing the canoe to the shore, we followed him
a short distance to his hut, where we found his
squaw busily cooking venison.r Our guide mo,
toned US 70 9 seat BY the fre, and then pro.
ceeded TO drink q large quantity Of whisky
My friend watched him closely, but talked to
his wife, who at first gave me short answers,
CHANGING at her lord and master to see il he
listened, which he seemed not to do; then she
talked more freely. The squaw was very ugly,
having the ovsfburdened look that you see
among Indisn women; %, from hale pity, al
sic took the large haunea from the fre, / aro )
70 assist her, AT the same moment her jealous
husband raised large club, striking me on
the head q blow that made me fall insensible
at his feet. As he Was about TO repeat the
blow ny friend caakht me in his arms;I and,
rushing from the wigWsm, deposited ma 10 ths

the shore, soon recovered my senses, but ]

PRESERVATION OF SINGLE RooPs.-Shin-
giles, whenever they are exposed to dampness
from the interior of the building, or whenever
they do not dry rapidly after rains, as under
trees, etc, become water-soaked, decay more
or Less, become overgrown with moss, which
protects them. from the drying influences OF
the sun and air, and the result is they,soon
decay and go to pieces. This result occurs in
barns, because the hay and the breath of cat
tie produce moist atmosphere within, which
rises 70 the roof; and in whatever way il hap
pens, way to prevent it is most desirable.
hyGHiziHg.-If shingles before being put
on are soaked in solution of one pound blue
vitriOl, or an equal amount Of chloride of zinc,
(and In fact several other metallic salts will
ansTer,) in four or i've gallons Of wator, moss
will not grow upon them, nor will they rot.
How long they win last nobody knows, but We
can safely presume they viii not last forever,
though We have heard say they will.
Painting shingle roofs is Of little or no use,
unless they are painted when they are put on,
and each course painted over the whole upper
surface; this is very effective. -
Lining roofs is recommended as nearly, or
quite equal to this and applicable to old roofs.
Stacked lime should be sprinkled on thickly
over the whole roof, on rainy days after the
roof is soaked. Sprinkle more at the ridge
than at the caves, but evenly over all, A
writer in the Rural Inteliigencer gives his ex.
perience thus: l-9f- . - ef 90 4 -.-.-.-
ii. " Pat II on considerably thick, % as to make
the roof look white, and you will never be
troubled with moss; and II the shingles are
covered ever 30 thick with moss, by putting
the lime on twice, il viii take all the moss of,
spd d,feave the roof white and clean, and will
look almost as we'll as if il had been painted
IT onght to be done once year, and, in my
, opiricp, the shingles win last almost as long
- they will to let the roof all grow over to
moss. 1 tried it on the back side Of my house,
ten years ago, when the shingles were all COW
cred with moss, and they appeared TO be utterly
rotten L gaEe The roof heavy coat of lime,
and have followed il nearly every year sipce
tAsa. and the roof II better now than it vas
them and, to all appearance, if follow this
course il win last ten or fifteen years longer.
The shingles have been on the roof over thirty
yssrs. These is no more risk about sparks
catching on The roof than on q newly -shingled
roof. Those that do not have lime near -by,
can use good strong vood ashes. and these pill
answer very good purpose to the same end

Or IN WESTERN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
DIsCOvERIEs.-The Clark County (VaD Jour
nal contains letter from Writ Court House,
which gives an account Of the extraordinary
discoveries Of oil now being made in Western
Virginia He gives some instances as follows
Mr.. Ksrns leased a piece of ground 1.-TWO
acres1 from Mr.. RathbOne, only six miles above
mine, for twenty years, and at the depth of $50
feet, reached vein Of oil which yields Is bar.
rels, OF 40 gallons each, per day, worth, at the
lowest price, % cents per gallon, and for which
lease of two acres he (Mr. K.) has been offered
$4,000. This well has been in operation
without any decrease of quantity, for over
three months. Mr. ~Rathbone, after he saw the
success Of Mr.. Karns's well, sank one himself
below Karns's, on the river, and was there
the evening he commenced pumping first He
commenced at o'clock D, m. and pumped
until 6 o'clock a. M, just twelve hours, and
hlled a cistern containing l30 barrels, of 40
gallons each-that is to say, $500 gallons of
pure oil, worth 70 cents per gallon. Rath-
bones well still continued to pour out the same
quantity of oil up to last night, but then they
had to stop pumping for want of cisterns and
barrels; and that Mr.. Karns told him that
had the best and surest prospect for oil, next
to Rathbone's, on the river. '
They have made another discovery in a hill
or rather mountain on Hugh's River, a tribu-
tary of the Kanawha, and distant from here
some II miles, II is the discovery of oil coal
Mr. Mattingly, who owns it, told me himself
flor We travelled together through this country
day, prospecting,) that the vein is i 200 feet
In thickness by actual measurement How
wonderful are all these things, and yet how as
tonishipg that they have not been discovered
before; but you must remember that this is
comparatively a new country. and that the
early settlers were neither literary nor scion
tifc men. Put this coal on shovel and hold
it over the fire until it becomes hot, and it all
melts and turns to oil. -.G-L f@L5,.jG
There is every prospect for speedy improve
ment Of this river, either by sluicing or dam
ming, or slack water navigation, so as to intro
duce steamboats,. The fact is they cannot get
their oil of fast enough by any other means,
unless they build railroad to unite with the
Northwestern stem, Q distance of II miles, and
that is strongly talked of. sai-u.

II In New York public attention is again
drawn to the tortures which the refractory
convicts Of Sing-Sing are alleged to undergo.
Especial complaint is leveled against the "show-
ering" process as being most terrible in its effects
and only to be endured by men Of the strongest
vital powers The ''crown, ,"' "''crucifx, !" s'sweat-
box" &c, are names Of other punishments ex-
ceedingly severe. Gov Morgan, Ii is understood
will institute a searching investigation into the
